The killing formation erupted, blood light surging like a tide!
Crimson runes spread wildly like living creatures, forming a massive cage, as if a mountain of suppression was about to descend, threatening to crush his bones inch by inch!
In the blink of an eye, Ling Cang's instincts surpassed the shock of his mind!
“Roar!”
A suppressed roar erupted from the depths of his throat, not out of fear, but a fury ignited by betrayal!
He suddenly twisted his body, his waist taut like a drawn bow. With his left hand, he formed an intricate sword technique, while his right hand swiftly grasped the hilt of the Purple Lightning, Azure Frost at his waist!
“Clang——!”
A clear and resounding sword cry echoed through the void, reminiscent of a dragon's roar soaring through the heavens! The purple-blue sword light erupted suddenly!
“Immaculate Sword Domain!”
Without hesitation, Ling Cang unleashed a sword technique he had not yet fully mastered but was immensely powerful in its nascent form!
In an instant, centered around him, a nearly transparent sword energy domain spread open, radiating an aura of extreme sharpness. Countless fine purple-blue sword energies swirled within the domain like swimming fish, producing a hissing sound as they sliced through the air!
“Clang clang clang clang!”
The first few streaks of sword light collided with the sword domain, erupting in a dense clamor of metal clashing! The sword domain trembled violently but forcefully repelled all these attacks!
Yet the crimson killing formation continued to suppress him fiercely, rendering the operation of his spiritual energy exceedingly difficult, causing the brilliance of the sword domain to flicker erratically!
More critically, dozens of dark red energy chains were able to ignore part of the sword domain's obstruction and continued to coil towards him!
“Hmph! The Trapped Dragon Formation is not something you can easily escape from!” Yue Kunlun's voice was cold with certainty. “Junior brothers, what are you waiting for? Join me in taking down Ling Cang! Zhen Yue Seal!”
He formed hand seals, his previously gentle demeanor now twisted into a sinister expression. A pitch-black mountain seal surged with terrifying might and crashed down towards the sword domain!
The other Core Disciples launched their attacks once more, this time even more viciously, each strike aimed at vital points! Clearly, they had rehearsed this countless times and coordinated perfectly to seal off all possible escape routes for Ling Cang!
“Yue Kunlun! You despicable wretch! The sect has treated you with such kindness; how dare you betray us?!” Ling Cang's eyes were bloodshot as he desperately urged the sword domain to withstand the Zhen Yue Seal while shouting in fury.
“Kindness? Hahaha!” Yue Kunlun laughed maniacally, his voice filled with resentment and delight. “Why should it be so?! Why should you be born with a heavenly sword bone? Why should you always overshadow me? Why should all the best resources go to you? Why should Qingying only have eyes for you?! Heaven is unjust; the sect is unjust. I will take what I deserve! After today, Tian Yan Sect will only have one voice: that is me, Yue Kunlun! Hongmeng Dao Seed and everything that belongs to you will be mine! Die for me! Covering Sea Seal!”
With his furious shout, another powerful water-type magical treasure was summoned, transforming into a tsunami that slammed down upon Ling Cang alongside the Zhen Yue Seal from above and below!
So that's it! So that's it!
Jealousy! Greed! Desire for power!
Ling Cang felt a chilling cold in his heart; these so-called fellow disciples had long been consumed by their inner demons! There was no point in saying more! The only option was to fight his way out!
"Do you think you can kill me, Ling Cang? With your strength, do you even deserve it?!"
Blood-red light filled Ling Cang's eyes, and an unprecedented aura of violence surged from him!
" Violet Lightning, Thousand Strikes!"
The Purple Lightning and Azure Frost Sword shone brilliantly, with countless fine purple arcs of electricity wildly leaping across its blade! Ling Cang's figure seemed to transform into a flash of lightning as he charged directly towards the Zhen Yue Seal and Tsunami!
In an instant, he thrust his sword hundreds, if not thousands, of times! Each strike was executed with incredible speed, leaving behind trails of purple afterimages!
"Boom!"
The sword light collided head-on with the mountain seal!
A terrifying shockwave of energy erupted, causing the crimson Dragon Binding Array to shake violently. Several weaker Core Disciples were directly thrown back, spitting blood from the impact!
Yue Kunlun's face turned pale, clearly not expecting Ling Cang to unleash such astonishing power under heavy suppression!
But the price Ling Cang paid was even greater! The forced eruption nearly tore his meridians apart, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the Immaculate Sword Domain shattered completely! Dozens of energy chains instantly wrapped around him, tightly binding his limbs and bones!
"We've got him!" a disciple shouted in delight.
"Kill him! Quickly!" Yue Kunlun's eyes flashed with malice as he urged his magical artifact once more!
However, just when everyone thought Ling Cang was like a fish on a chopping board—
"Tian Yan Sui Xing!"
A resolute madness flashed in Ling Cang's eyes! Despite being bound, he infused all the remaining spiritual energy in his Dantian along with some of his blood into the Purple Lightning and Azure Frost Sword at an incredible angle!
At the tip of the sword, a dazzling star-like brilliance ignited, as if it could set the night sky ablaze! A destructive aura spread outwards!
This was his ultimate life-saving technique; once unleashed, its power was boundless, but it would also leave him in extreme weakness!
"Not good! Retreat!" Yue Kunlun's expression changed dramatically.
But it was too late!
At that moment, an extremely sinister and concealed dark light silently appeared behind Ling Cang!
"Thud!"
The dagger was coated with " Spirit-Dissolving Powder," a substance capable of instantly dissolving spiritual power, and it plunged deep into Ling Cang's back.
"Ugh..."
An excruciating pain surged through him, accompanied by a hollow sensation as his spiritual energy dissipated. Ling Cang's body stiffened, disbelief filling his eyes.
"Wh-why..." he struggled to turn his head, gazing at the frenzied face of junior Liu.
"Brother Ling... don’t blame me! senior Yue said to kill you... I am a Core Disciple now... Hahaha!" junior Liu exclaimed excitedly.
Endless despair and darkness swiftly engulfed Ling Cang's consciousness. The Purple Lightning and Azure Frost Sword in his hand fell limply, its glow extinguished completely.
"Well done!" Yue Kunlun exclaimed, initially taken aback before erupting in joy, showering praise without restraint.
He ignored the unconscious Ling Cang and swiftly dodged the energy backlash from the Shattered Star Style, racing towards the Suspended Altar with all his might.
The other disciples gathered around, eyeing Ling Cang's bloodied form with varied expressions.
"Check if he's dead," one disciple asked cautiously.
"With Spirit-Dissolving Powder in him and his foundation ruined... even if he’s alive, he’s just a useless shell!" another replied after inspecting him cruelly.
"Forget him! Hurry, clean up the scene! Put everything away!" Yue Kunlun's voice came from the altar, brimming with uncontainable excitement. He had successfully stored that chaotic light into a specially crafted jade box.
Several disciples immediately sprang into action, skillfully erasing traces of the battle and fabricating signs of a Demon Skill attack on the bodies of their fallen companions.
Su Qingying watched from a distance, her body swaying unsteadily before she finally closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. She wanted to do something but felt utterly powerless.
Yue Kunlun secured the seed of Dao and approached Ling Cang's side, looking down at the figure he had once envied so deeply, a victorious smile spreading across his face. "Brother Ling, you have ultimately lost. But don’t worry; I will take good care of your sister Qingying! Hahaha!"
With a wave of his hand, several disciples stepped forward and bound the unconscious Ling Cang with specially made chains, dragging him along like a dead dog.
"Let’s go! Back to the sect! It’s time to claim our rewards!" Yue Kunlun declared exuberantly as he led the way toward the exit of the secret realm.
