Chapter 561: This Old Man Would Rather Die Than Let You Have It Easy!
Upon hearing Xia Tianyuan's words, Zou Yangping laughed loudly and said, "To kill us, you three also have to see if you have the ability!"
At this point, Zou Yangping immediately released his Spiritual Power, and in the next instant, streaks of red flames surrounded him.
Even Si Yuhua, who was seriously injured, quickly sealed his wounds with Spiritual Power, temporarily stopping the bleeding. He then drew his longsword and pointed it at Xia Tianyuan, saying, "Even if I die, I want to take you down with me!"
Having said this, Si Yuhua was the first to attack. His figure flashed, charging straight at Xia Tianyuan, while Zou Yangping did not stand idle either, rushing directly towards Yun Xianxian.
Zou Yangping still had some tricks up his sleeve; unlike Si Yuhua, who had been ambushed and seriously injured, it was highly unlikely that he could escape.
But Zou Yangping was still unharmed, and as long as he could break through a gap, he would have a complete chance to escape.
Zou Yangping knew that the Yue Emperor had comprehended Sword Intent and was very difficult to deal with, so he chose to go straight for Yun Xianxian.
Although Zou Yangping had not seen the Yue Emperor and had no idea what she looked like, Li Qianrou was wearing a Phoenix Robe, and her demeanor was very much like that of a superior, making it clear she was the Yue Emperor.
Watching Zou Yangping charge toward her, Yun Xianxian's face was expressionless. She was somewhat puzzled as to why this man thought she was the easiest among the three to deal with.
Did she really look that weak?
As Zou Yangping reached Yun Xianxian, he threw a punch, and an image of a tiger appeared instantly, engulfed in roaring flames, as if it was specifically designed to counter Yun Xianxian's ice-based Cultivation Technique.
This time it seemed Yun Xianxian understood why this man thought she was an easy target. It turned out he felt her Spiritual Power was of the ice element and believed that a fire-based Cultivation Technique would counter her.
Unfortunately for him, he miscalculated.
Just as the flaming tiger was about to touch Yun Xianxian's body, she suddenly raised her hand.
Ice seals the heaven and earth!!!
The next moment, the land and forest within a kilometer radius were completely encased in ice.
The phantom of the Cultivation Technique released by Zou Yangping was also encased in ice, and then, as Yun Xianxian's delicate fingers pointed at the image, it shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zou Yangping was completely stunned, and an incredulous look immediately appeared on his face.

How is this possible!
This was his strongest technique; he had thought as long as he could hold this woman off for a moment, he would have the chance to escape, so he had used his strongest technique right from the start.
But the other party had simply blocked his strongest move with a wave of her hand. Was this white-haired woman truly a Celestial?
How could a Celestial possibly be so powerful!
He had already chosen the weakest opponent to fight, and yet he was still no match for her. In that moment, Zou Yangping felt an immense despair in his heart.
No, he couldn't just give up like this!
He refused to believe that he couldn't even handle a woman!
With that thought in mind, Zou Yangping gathered all his Spiritual Power and threw another punch.
A giant tiger image reappeared. Yun Xianxian did not intend to waste too much time on Zou Yangping.
She raised her delicate hand once again and with a sweep, countless ice cones appeared above her head and immediately flew towards Zou Yangping.
Seeing so many ice cones, Zou Yangping instantly felt the danger and came down from the sky, diving straight into the forest, intending to forcefully break through Yun Xianxian and Li Qianrou's blockade.
Witnessing Zou Yangping's escape, the Yue Emperor snorted lightly as spiritual energy burst forth from her body in an instant.
Immediately after, numerous Sword Qi formed around Li Qianrou's body. Clutching the sword in her hand tightly, she swung her sword, and the Sword Qi zoomed towards Zou Yangping.
Zou Yangping, who was fleeing, sensed the threat and quickly turned his head back, once again employing the same cultivation technique he used before. However, the tiger's phantom was instantly slashed apart by Li Qianrou's Sword Qi.
Zou Yangping's face turned ashen with shock. How could both women be so formidable? He was, after all, a Celestial who had broken through many years ago and yet, he couldn't handle even this woman who looked so young.
What Zou Yangping didn't know was that in terms of age, Yun Xianxian was much older than him. It was only because she had cultivated the Physical Appearance Retaining Technique, and also due to her unique physique, that she appeared to be a woman in her thirties at most.
In fact, this was fairly common in the High-Level Cultivation Realm. Many who appeared to be in their twenties or thirties were actually thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years old.
At this moment, Zou Yangping let out a loud shout and directly burned his own essence blood. Roaring, he said, "You want to kill me? I won't make it easy for you even in death!"
This time, Zou Yangping didn't run. He turned and thrust his legs, charging straight towards Yun Xianxian.
Meanwhile, the fight between Xia Tianyuan and Si Yuhua had also begun. Si Yuhua had already been injured earlier, and he stood no chance against Xia Tianyuan.
After all, Xia Tianyuan was the Sect Master of a Sword Sect, and in terms of strength, he was even more formidable than Li Qianrou.
Si Yuhua gripped his sword and thrust it toward Xia Tianyuan, a massive golden Sword Intent materializing in the air.
Xia Tianyuan remained unruffled. He drew his sword and gathered spiritual power within it.
"Out of respect for you wielding a sword as well, I shall let you die by the sword!"
As Xia Tianyuan's voice faded, he executed a sword strike and a tremendous Sword Qi swept towards the golden Sword Intent in front of Si Yuhua.
Seeing this scene, Si Yuhua's face instantly turned even paler. As he prepared to dodge, the Sword Qi sliced through his golden Sword Intent and bore down on him.
Si Yuhua quickly circulated the spiritual power in his entire body and made another sword strike. The next moment, Xia Tianyuan's Sword Qi collided with the sword in Si Yuhua's hand.
Feeling the immense pressure, Si Yuhua's recent wound tore open, blood spurting wildly as he kept coughing up blood.
Realizing he would likely die there, Si Yuhua laughed loudly and said, "If you wish for my death, then you shall die with me!"
With those words, Si Yuhua prepared to self-destruct his Dantian. However, just as he gathered all his spiritual power into his Dantian, a massive ice cone, seemingly out of nowhere, came flying and impaled him straight through the body.
"Puh..."
Si Yuhua spat out another mouthful of blood as the giant ice cone pierced through his Dantian, preventing him from continuing to gather spiritual power, let alone self-destruct.
Quickly, the light flickered out from Si Yuhua's eyes, his body lost its liveliness, and he fell from the sky.
In the High-Level Cultivation World, even being struck by that ice cone might not result in death, as many there possess spiritual artifacts to protect their bodies and have cultivated defensive cultivation techniques or possess protective talismans.
But unfortunately, this was just a low-level world, where Celestials of the same rank could possibly be defeated by a single move from another Celestial.
