“Tang Xin?”
“Tang Xin!”
As soon as the Xuanling Sect Senior Sister appeared, she drew everyone’s attention.
What the hell, when did the camp’s defenses become so weak that anyone could just walk in?
“Ahem,” seeing her two companions a bit dazed, Tang Xin coughed to remind them, “If you want to thank me, do it after this is over.
Let’s finish the task first…
Su Ling, do you know where those imprisoned geniuses are?”
“Um…”
Su Ling looked at her senior sister.
She didn’t look like someone who had been roughing it out here.
How come she seemed to be living better than me…
“I’ll take you there.
They should be moving those people soon!”
Eager to save people, the sword-wielding girl didn’t think much.
The invisible sword formed by her true energy emitted an increasingly sharp aura, even making the Saintess glance a few more times.
Why wield the sword?
The blind old man had once reminded her that as long as she understood this, her sword would become sharp.
And right now, she just wanted to save people, her goal crystal clear.
“I’ll lead the way,” Tang Xin said, “You follow me!”
The severely weakened Saintess no longer had the combat power of the Xuanling Sect Senior Sister.
Although Tang Xin used righteous techniques without terrifying buff enhancements, it was all relative.
The Senior Sister was undoubtedly a combat genius.
“Summon: Thunder!”
Bolts of thunder descended from the sky, throwing the Golden Core cultivators into disarray.
This type of high-level area spell was rarely practiced by ordinary sect disciples because the scenarios where it was useful were limited, and it was difficult to master.
Disciples usually engaged in one-on-one battles or small skirmishes, rarely experiencing truly large-scale confrontations.
Only the elders of the sect, with enough time and energy, would focus on such things.
Tang Xin’s control over the battlefield was highly effective, quickly creating a breach in the encircling enemies, turning the long-range skirmish into close combat.
“Meow Meow Fist: Lightning Special Edition!”
Whoosh whoosh!
Amidst the crowd, flashes of lightning occasionally flickered, followed by the sound of meowing and enemies being knocked away.
Not everyone likes cats, or rather, most normal cultivators don’t have this quirk, so the Meow Meow Fist had its intended special effect.
Not to mention, this set of punches was enhanced with the previously acquired buff [Three Punches of Justice].
[Three Punches of Justice: Attack enemies with a heart full of justice, every third punch is a critical hit (make sure to be full of righteousness)!]
If the Xuanling Sect Senior Sister isn’t righteous enough, then who is?
“Interesting,” Xu Lexian watched the Xuanling Sect Senior Sister clearing the path ahead, smiling meaningfully, “After the realm upgrade, the combat power skyrockets immediately…”
The righteous version of Tang Xin may not be as unreasonably strong as the demonic path, but she still blazed a trail of sparks and lightning, leading the two of them to the location of the underground prison.
As expected, the strong individuals in the camp were all converging on this area.
“I’m not too sure how many Nascent Soul cultivators are in this camp,” Su Ling reminded, “or if there are any stronger cultivators.”
There are at least six confirmed Nascent Soul cultivators.
Above the Nascent Soul level, there shouldn’t be any, because there’s a rule that says “using power above the Nascent Soul level in the cultivation world will lead to a different situation.”
This was the information Red Snow Asura obtained while chatting with the Nine Star Pavilion cultivators.
Of course, Tang Xin definitely couldn’t say this out loud.
“The Nascent Soul cultivators are already being held up by our people,” Xu Lexian took out a sphere and tossed it into the sky, “we can’t let these guys take them away, call for reinforcements!”
Boom—
A colorful firework exploded in the sky, dazzling and beautiful, in stark contrast to the fiery chaos below.
The entire camp noticed this signal and began to converge on the same area.
“I suggest we run.”
The Saintess said.
No matter how strong Tang Xin was, she couldn’t fight a hundred enemies alone.
Before reinforcements arrived, what they needed to do was avoid being captured by the enemy.
Meanwhile, in the underground prison, something unexpected seemed to have happened, and the transfer of personnel appeared to have stalled.
“It’s the senior!”
Su Ling’s face stiffened.
She sensed a powerful sword aura awakening.
The blind old man was likely burning his last bit of life force to contribute to his “redemption” cause.
The sword cultivator girl instinctively wanted to rush underground, but her shoulder was firmly held down by her senior sister’s hand.
The latter shook her head.
“Damn it…”
Su Ling clenched her fists full of guilt and self-blame.
At this moment, she only hated that her “sword” wasn’t sharp enough to cut down all the enemies in front of her.
“I want to become stronger,” she raised her arm and declared, “I want to become even more powerful!”
Whoosh—swish swish swish!
With this shout, countless sword auras suddenly appeared out of thin air around Su Ling, forming a domain that directly pushed her two companions aside.
“Innate Sword Body?”
Xu Lexian showed a surprised expression, “What kind of Innate Sword Body is this?”
Sword bodies are divided into innate and acquired, with the former being less than one in ten thousand of the latter.
In Sacred Immortal Mountain, there is a senior with an Innate Sword Body who holds a significant position within the sect.
The sword aura indiscriminately attacked all living beings that approached, firmly protecting Su Ling within.
An enemy attempted to attack with a spell, only to be countered by the sword aura domain, resulting in severe injury.
“Holy crap,” Tang Xin couldn’t think of any words to comment on this situation, “ridiculous!”
This treatment was just short of enlightenment and ascending to the heavens in broad daylight, right?
After the sword energy rampaged for a while, it gradually returned to Su Ling’s body.
The girl’s appearance didn’t change, but her aura now had an indescribable quality to it.
“Innate Sword Body first stage awakening,” Xu Lexian commented.
“The Qingzhou cultivation world is about to gain another heavyweight genius.”
“I’m so envious of people who can break through so easily…”
Tang Xin sighed.
The Saintess gave her a sidelong glance.
“Innate Sword Body?
High-value target detected, prioritize capturing her and the Saintess alive!”
An unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in the scene, followed by a terrifying Nascent Soul peak aura sweeping over them.
“Damn!”
There was actually a seventh Nascent Soul hidden here; their preparations were indeed thorough!
As soon as he appeared, he locked his energy onto Su Ling and Xu Lexian, completely ignoring Tang Xin.
Though she was somewhat of a genius, compared to the Innate Sword Body and the Saintess, it was like the difference in value between a princess and a maid…
“Surrender and avoid unnecessary harm!”
The opponent even gave a warning before making a move, clearly intending to capture them alive.
Tang Xin was ready to flee at any moment, her feet poised on a lotus platform.
Since they wanted to capture them alive, escaping was the priority, and she could return with reinforcements later…
But the next moment, she dismissed that thought.
A boundless dark cyan sword energy swept over their heads, landing between them and the Nascent Soul peak cultivator, splitting the entire camp in two!
“A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to touch my disciple?”
