Chapter 505: Collapse! Shatter!

Shi Fang of the Great Luo Sword Sect and the short old man exchanged glances. In that instant, the short old man suddenly grabbed the air with his hand. The white-robed fellow disciple beside the woman, Qian Qin, let out a cry of alarm. His entire body was involuntarily seized by an invisible force and thrown directly from outside the valley into the valley.

As soon as this person entered the valley, a piercing sound that seemed to reach the Nine Heavens suddenly echoed throughout the valley. Amidst the countless withered leaves and weeds on the valley floor, a large number of red dots emerged in the blink of an eye. These red dots were densely packed, appearing extremely terrifying at first glance.

"Senior Brother!!" Qian Qin's body trembled. She turned around abruptly, looked at the people from the Great Luo Sword Sect, and screamed hoarsely, "Senior, why is this happening!!!"

Just as the words left Qian Qin's mouth, those densely packed, sky-covering red dots suddenly moved. They transformed into a massive red cloud, emitting a violent wailing sound, and lunged directly toward the white-robed youth who had been thrown into the valley.

The speed was too fast, like a massive red electric cloud. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the white-robed youth completely. At this moment, a scene appeared before everyone that shocked everyone outside the valley, except for the two Elders of the Great Luo Sword Sect, who remained composed.

One could see that outside the white-robed youth's body, countless red dots tore through his clothes and burrowed into his skin. In less than three breaths, his white clothes were entirely stained with blood.

Waves of exceptionally shrill screams constantly erupted from his mouth. The intense pain caused the man to continuously claw at his skin with his hands, leaving numerous deep, bone-exposed scratch marks all over his body.

His body rolled and struggled violently on the ground within the valley. In his eyes, deep despair and unimaginable resentment were revealed.

"Senior Brother…" Qian Qin's body shook violently, a miserable smile appearing on her face.

At this moment, almost all the red dots in the valley had appeared, crazily burrowing into the white-robed man's body. His eyes gradually dimmed, and his screams slowly weakened.

This scene happened very quickly, but it was quite shocking, causing the people around to look somewhat grim. Guo Xingyi gripped his sword tightly, pondered for a moment, and scanned Qian Qin with a flicker of killing intent.

"Today's events were caused by me. If Qian Qin's Senior Brother hadn't died, that would be one thing, and there would be no enmity between us, but now…"

As for the other woman who called Guo Xingyi Senior Brother, she was deathly pale at this moment, covering her small mouth, almost retching. Her body trembled slightly; she was clearly terrified by this scene.

Only the man in blue, who had been quite sycophantic toward Guo Xingyi, showed no signs of discomfort. Instead, watching the scene in the valley, a hint of intoxication flashed across his face.

Great Luo Sword Sect Elder Shi Fang smiled slightly and said to the short old man beside him, "It seems the two of us do not need to commit more slaughter. This one person has already attracted the vast majority of the Nine Li Insects into his body."

The short old man gave a hoarse laugh and said, "Brother Shi, your Divine Ability of prohibition is most suitable here. Do not hold back. Once you and I retrieve these Golden Fruits, we still need to return to the Sword Sect to report back!"

Shi Fang laughed heartily and, without another word, slapped his Storage Pouch. A red Jade Slip immediately appeared in his hand. He formed a sword shape with his left hand and pointed suddenly at the Jade Slip, softly uttering, "Sword Seal Prohibition! Open!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jade Slip immediately emitted a buzzing sound and instantly flew out of his hand, like a ray of red light, charging directly into the valley.

The moment the Jade Slip entered the valley, the buzzing sound on it suddenly grew louder. At the same time, one could see red threads drifting out from the Jade Slip. After a pause, followed by a rumbling sound, the Jade Slip began to squirm strangely. In the blink of an eye, its squirming speed increased, and finally, as if melting, it transformed into countless fine red threads that suddenly spread out, rushing toward the white-robed man struggling slightly on the ground.

The fine red threads moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they reached the white-robed man. They did not burrow into his body; instead, the threads connected head to tail and quickly spread out, forming a red net that wrapped around the white-robed man and the surrounding several zhang of land.

At this moment, Great Luo Sword Sect Elder Shi Fang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he shouted, "Seal!"

As the word "Seal" left his mouth, the red net immediately flickered with bursts of red lightning. Amidst the crackling sounds, countless red lightning runes appeared all over the red net, densely combining with the web to form an extremely tight Seal.

After doing this, the short old man took the first step and walked into the valley. The moment his body entered the valley, a whistling sound echoed from the withered grass on the valley floor. Immediately after, another patch of red dots rushed out, though their numbers were not many.

The short old man's expression remained normal. He raised his right hand and flicked his five fingers lightly. With each flick, a streak of Sword Qi whistled through the air, and as it darted through, a large number of red dots dissipated.

In reality, if there were more Nine Li Insects, even with the short Elder's cultivation, it would have been somewhat troublesome to deal with them. But now, with very few Nine Li Insects left, dealing with them naturally looked extremely easy.

Great Luo Sword Sect Elder Shi Fang moved and floated directly into the valley. With his help, apart from the Nine Li Insects sealed inside the white-robed man on the ground, the insects outside dissipated within a few breaths.

The third person to step into the valley was Guo Xingyi's Junior Martial Uncle, that old man at the Soul Transformation Stage, followed by the others. As for Qian Qin, the indignant look on her face had already vanished, replaced only by a frightening calmness.

After the short old man unleashed the final Sword Qi and shattered the remaining Nine Li Insects, his gaze flickered and landed on the large patch of golden flowers several zhang away.

"Lü Songyi, go and harvest the Golden Fruits!" The short old man's voice was filled with an air of irrefutable authority.

This Lü Songyi was the old man at the Soul Transformation Stage. Upon hearing the Elder's words, he immediately agreed respectfully and hurriedly stepped forward, intending to harvest the Golden Fruits.

But, just at this moment, a gentle breeze suddenly blew in from outside the valley. This wind was originally unremarkable; blowing into the valley, it only caused the rustling sound of grass and leaves.

However, this wind, blowing onto Great Luo Sword Sect Elder Shi Fang and the short old man, caused their expressions to change more drastically than ever before!!

Shi Fang turned his head abruptly, his eyes bursting with sharp light, staring fixedly outside the valley. As for the short old man, his expression also instantly turned gloomy; he placed his right hand on his Storage Pouch, eyes revealing killing intent as he looked outside the valley.

Their actions immediately caused a change in the Qi within the valley. In an instant, a sense of grim killing intent shrouded the surroundings.

Consequently, the old man surnamed Lü, who had stepped forward to harvest the Golden Fruits, immediately stopped and looked on with suspicion.

As for the others, they were all the same. Only the woman, Qian Qin, had a calm gaze, staring at the white-robed man on the ground in the distance who was no longer struggling and was clearly dead. She remained silent, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her anymore.

"Which Fellow Daoist has come here? Do not play tricks. I am Great Luo Sword Sect Elder Shi Fang. I hope the Fellow Daoist will come out and speak!" Shi Fang was silent for a moment before shouting. He and the short old man exchanged a look, both seeing the suspicion in the other's eyes.

The moment the wind blew earlier, he had realized almost immediately that the feeling which had been present ever since entering this Northern Boundary of the Earth Demon had suddenly increased countless times in an instant. It was as if one had initially felt a Vicious Beast in the distance, but suddenly, that feeling changed, as if that Vicious Beast were right before one's eyes.

This drastic change immediately caused Shi Fang and the short old man to be greatly shaken.

A thick mass of gray qi slowly appeared from outside the valley. This gray qi was so dense that one could not see the details within it at all. As it drifted, it stopped outside the valley.

The moment this gray qi appeared, Shi Fang's expression immediately became ugly to the extreme.

"Who is Your Excellency?" the short old man said, his face gloomy, speaking word by word.

As soon as his voice fell, without waiting for the other party to answer, he let out a loud roar. He wiped his right hand across his Storage Pouch, and a bronze mirror suddenly appeared in his hand. As he threw it, the mirror rose into the air and grew in the wind, suddenly becoming three feet in size. It emitted bursts of cyan light, directly shrouding the gray qi.

The moment the short old man unleashed his Magic Treasure, Shi Fang, who had worked with him for many years and was extremely in sync, did not hesitate at all. He immediately formed Hand Seals with both hands. The sword on his back suddenly whistled out, hovering horizontally above his head, and a huge, illusory sword shadow ten zhang long appeared upon it.

"Slash!" Shi Fang shouted!

While the Elder of his own sect attacked, the Soul Transformation Stage old man, Lü Songyi, moved like lightning and immediately charged toward the Golden Fruits. After all, he had cultivated for a long time and knew how to seize the opportunity. He was not far from the Golden Fruits, and with a flash, he arrived right in front of them.

The light from the bronze mirror, like a restraint, shrouded the gray qi. At the same time, Shi Fang's sword, like a blade from the Nine Heavens, whistled down. Before the sword's momentum had even fallen, the sound of it breaking through the air echoed across the heavens and earth.

The Great Luo Sword Sect was famous for its swords; its sword might was naturally not small.

However!

The moment the Sword Qi slashed through the air, the gray qi suddenly moved. This movement was like ten thousand horses galloping, like raging waves filling the sky. In an instant, the gray qi suddenly surged forward, and immediately, it broke through everything, filling the entire valley.

With this surge, a cold voice emanated from within the gray qi.

"How can the light of fireflies compete with the brilliance of the bright moon!"

This voice was cold and indifferent. The moment it fell into everyone's ears, it immediately caused everyone in the valley to be shaken. The cyan light shrouding the gray qi collapsed instantly, turning into countless cyan marks that dissipated into the surroundings.

The bronze mirror in mid-air emitted bursts of cracking sounds. Collapse!

Shi Fang's sword, which had slashed down, shattered!
