Incredible Sect Simulator

Facing Lu Xuelian's strike, it was impossible to dodge; one could only confront it directly.

Chen Yuerong instinctively waved the Dark Demon Banner, stirring up a turbulent flow of demonic qi, sweeping toward the Cyan Bamboo Sword.

Anticipating that the Cyan Bamboo Sword would be swept away, Lu Xuelian decided to take a risk this time and activated the Brocade Compass before her.

The Brocade Compass lay flat, imbued with dense magical power, and with a pointed finger from Lu Xuelian's jade hand, it abruptly transformed into an arrow leaving the bowstring, whirring out.

The Brocade Compass could both attack and defend.

The sharpness of its body was in no way inferior to a flying sword, and after this power-charged slash, it was enough to cleave Chen Yuerong in one go.

The chaotic flow of demonic qi met with the Cyan Bamboo Sword, once again unleashing its terrifying might, sweeping the Cyan Bamboo Sword away, causing this attack to miss.

But in the next moment, the Brocade Compass changed its trajectory in mid-air, not slashing directly at Chen Yuerong.

Instead, it curved around, bypassing the chaotic demonic qi, flying to Chen Yuerong's side.

Having already used the Dark Demon Banner once, without withdrawing, using it again would be a tremendous magical power drain, and Chen Yuerong couldn't muster another surge of demonic qi to sweep away the Brocade Compass in such a short time.

With no other choice, she gritted her teeth, ignoring the consumption of magical power, and deployed the Shield of Li Fire for defense.

The Shield of Li Fire formed incredibly quickly, but in the very moment of its condensation, it was struck by the Brocade Compass with a crash.

The sturdy, thick shield, although it successfully withstood the Brocade Compass's strike, left Chen Yuerong slightly retreating from the shock of such a fierce slash.

Her remaining magical power, once at seventy percent, now was reduced by another ten percent.

Without waiting for her to take the next move, a cyan stream of light suddenly appeared before her eyes, like a streak of startling brilliance, flashing in an instant.

Upon a closer look, what else could it be but the Cyan Bamboo Sword?

While Chen Yuerong had deployed the Shield of Li Fire, Lu Xuelian seized the moment to recall the Cyan Bamboo Sword, having already initiated this strike.

Not bothering whether Chen Yuerong's Shield of Li Fire was fully formed, she hacked down with her sword fiercely.

Crack.

The Shield of Li Fire had already lost half its defensive strength from withstanding the Brocade Compass's attack, and wasn't fortified with magical power to maintain its strength.

Facing this strike, it was instantly cleaved open by the Cyan Bamboo Sword, spreading cracks like a spider web, shattering apart.

This left Chen Yuerong utterly shocked.

"Damn it!"

Swearing under her breath, she hurriedly retreated to prevent Lu Xuelian from attacking again.

This movement inadvertently gave Lu Ping an opportunity.

Whether or not it was a sneak attack, Lu Ping didn't care.

If he could strike down Chen Yuerong and save Lu Xuelian, Lu Ping wouldn't hesitate at all.

He acted decisively, already appearing behind Chen Yuerong.

Facing the retreating Chen Yuerong, he calmly activated a Water Sword Talisman.

The Cold Water Spiritual Sword reappeared, rapidly forming, no different in size from the Cyan Bamboo Sword, exuding a chilling aura.

A sword congealed and struck directly toward Chen Yuerong.

On Chen Yuerong's side, her attention was entirely on Lu Xuelian, wary of another attack, unaware of what was behind her.

When she felt the chilling aura from behind, she instinctively turned her head for a quick glance.

It was at this glance that she saw the Cold Water Spiritual Sword piercing directly toward her, leaving her no time to defend.

Damn!

This girl, when did she manage to muster such an attack?

This thought surfaced in her mind as Chen Yuerong held the Dark Demon Banner, intending to use it again to block the Cold Water Spiritual Sword, but it was too late.

With a pfft sound.

The Cold Water Spiritual Sword, ice-cold and bone-chilling, pierced through Chen Yuerong's chest, causing her body to momentarily stiffen.

Not only that, Lu Xuelian seized the opportunity at this moment.

She activated the Cyan Bamboo Sword, the flying sword streaking through the air, targeting Chen Yuerong's neck with precision.

A flash of cyan light, and Chen Yuerong's head was taken in an instant.

All of this transpired in a mere moment.

Chen Yuerong's eyes widened, her once-great head rolled to the ground, filled with disbelief.

She never expected to fall at the hands of a Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator, meeting her end here at Shuangjiao Mountain.

Previously in Yunbei County, she joined forces with fellow disciples against several Sixth and Seventh-Layer Evil Dao cultivators, only suffering soul damage without any life-threatening risk.

Never did she imagine that today she would capsize in the gutter.

Attempting to kill a cultivator of a lower realm, only to be counter-killed by them.

If given another chance, she certainly wouldn't have attacked Lu Xuelian.

But how can time reverse, where is the second chance?

After killing Chen Yuerong, Lu Xuelian let out a long sigh of relief, sitting on the ground without caring about appearances.

This battle had exhausted her, fought with great difficulty, her mind tightly strung, not daring to be careless for a moment.

Wiping the fragrant sweat from her forehead, after a few breaths, Lu Xuelian immediately began to tidy up the battlefield.

Coming to Chen Yuerong's side, she took off her storage bag and felt around her body, finding nothing of value.

The Li Fire Sword was in the storage bag, at the moment she didn't have time to inspect it, it still needed to remove the residual divine thought inside, later on.

When her gaze fell on that Dark Demon Banner, Lu Xuelian hesitated for a moment, undecided.

Should she take it, or just leave it here?

She had seen the power of the Dark Demon Banner firsthand, able to sweep away even the Tier One Top-Grade Cyan Bamboo Sword.

But on second thought, it was a Demonic Dao magical artifact, not suitable for her use.

If greed took over at this moment and she took the Dark Demon Banner, she might not resist using it in the future, gradually falling into the Demonic Dao.

As she pondered, deciding not to take it and instead destroy it with the Cyan Bamboo Sword,

At that moment, suddenly hearing from above her side, from the distant sky, came the sound of something approaching rapidly.

A predator behind?

Upon hearing this noise, the first thought in Lu Xuelian's mind was exactly this, perhaps someone truly was waiting in the wings.

Earlier, with the Water Sword Talisman appearing out of nowhere twice, it had already made her feel very strange, convinced that other cultivators were hiding around.

Now, finally, they couldn't hold back from appearing?

No longer caring whether it was a demonic magical artifact or not, Lu Xuelian was indeed somewhat scared.

She hastily grabbed the Dark Demon Banner from the ground, adopting a battle-ready stance, looking toward the source of the sound.

She saw a cyan silhouette, with silver and purple light swirling behind, forming a pair of wings, gliding closer.

Judging by the speed, it was definitely beyond the capabilities of a Qi Cultivator.

Moreover, the aura of Foundation Establishment washed over her first, descending above Lu Xuelian's head.

Foundation Establishment... Cultivator!

Feeling this aura, Lu Xuelian was immediately stunned.

Doomed!

Now, a Foundation Establishment expert had come to claim the spoils.

With her Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation, no matter how hard she tried, it wasn't enough to compete.
