Chapter 2193: Chapter 2193: Green Jade, Slash!
"Courting death!"
Xierui’s tone remained calm. After a light snort, her body fused with the Heavenly Emissary Standard expanded several times, turning her into a giant towering over the heavens.
In front of her, Ye Haochuan was no larger than an ant.
"Do you really think you’re the only one with Domain Force?"
Xierui snorted softly and shouted, "Come forth, Heavenly Emissary Divine Realm!"
In an instant, a black shadow spread from Xierui’s feet, extending for miles.
The Taichi Spirit Realm seemed exceptionally diminutive before this Heavenly Emissary Divine Realm, completely enveloped within it.
Ye Haochuan felt a slight shock. All along, his Taichi Spirit Realm had been a significant force in suppressing opponents. Now, being suppressed by another’s Spirit Realm, he would lose a major support.
"Divine Might Over the World!"
On the other side, Xierui had already launched her attack.
Xierui’s enormous body trembled slightly, and suddenly an intense oppressive force spread out, which then condensed into countless strands of light shooting in all directions.
Bang! Bang!
The light strands hit the ground, causing it to shake and stirring up clouds of dust.
At the center of the light strands’ impact, Ye Haochuan remained standing, holding his halberd. Yet, his pale complexion clearly showed that this attack was not easy to withstand.
He didn’t stay on the defensive; the moment the light strands fell, he shot out like an arrow leaving a bow.
At the same time, the Divine Concealment Sword circled around him like a guard, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
"I forgot, with the power of that Formation, your strength has increased. But do you truly think this makes you my equal?"
Xierui sneered disdainfully, clapping her hands together sharply, aiming at Ye Haochuan as if swatting a fly.
"Nine-Tailed Sword Qi!"
The Nine-Tailed Phantom instantly coalesced, with the Nine-Tailed Swords stabbing out from both sides, attempting to hold back those giant hands.
Yet the power of the giant hands was too overwhelming, and in just a moment, they shattered the illusion like a paper tiger.
Puff~
Ye Haochuan suffered backlash, immediately spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His expression was solemn, without a trace of panic or pause. As the Nine-Tailed Phantom held the giant hands, he swiftly navigated out, successfully escaping danger.
"Sunflower Water Sword Trace!"
The Divine Concealment Sword, floating around Ye Haochuan, instantly flew out, transforming into countless Phantom Swords, aiming for Xierui’s neck from all directions.
The neck, a crucial position connecting the head and body, was also one of the weakest defensive points. Severing it would certainly mean Xierui’s death.
"So what if you struggle to break free? Do you really think you can succeed?"
Xierui sneered lightly, clasping her hands to invoke, "Divine Light Protection!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, a faint light barrier rose over Xierui’s enormous body.
Before the light barrier had fully formed, Xierui suddenly felt her soul seemingly under some sort of attack.
Startled, she quickly controlled her soul to resist.
"Thousand Souls Extinguishing! Vermilion Bird... Phantom Seal... Puff~"
Ye Haochuan finally uttered softly, simultaneously unleashing two cultivation techniques, an immense burden causing his complexion to flush unnaturally red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xierui’s expression suddenly froze, clearly caught off guard by the sudden soul attack and illusion technique.
The Phantom Sword, transformed by the Divine Concealment Sword, had already touched the incompletely invoked light barrier. In the ensuing entanglement, both were extinguished.
"A perfect opportunity!" Ye Haochuan’s eyes shone with golden light, sending the long halberd forth in an instant.
"Communicating with God Treasure Order, enhance!"
"Long Family Technique!"
"Space-Breaking Halberd!"
Ye Haochuan urged his body to its maximum state, even opening up the somewhat insufficient "Xuanwu Force Vein" to maximize the Space-Breaking Halberd’s power.
Puff~
The intense burden made Ye Haochuan falter instantly, spitting blood once again, his breath becoming slightly unstable.
Yet he gritted his teeth tightly, using every ounce of strength, allowing the execution of the Space-Breaking Halberd to go unhindered.
"Bastard!" Breaking free quickly from the control of the Thousand Souls Extinguishing and Vermilion Bird Phantom Seal, Xierui snarled in rage, wanting to invoke the light barrier again for defense.
However, Ye Haochuan’s speed was incomparably fast, leaving no room for her to respond once more.
Clang~
The Space-Breaking Halberd pierced into the neck; its power burst forth immediately, black light radiating everywhere, cleaving mountains and splitting stones.
Xierui’s enormous body tilted back in that moment, stumbling a few steps before finally stabilizing but still remaining precariously unsteady.
Xierui’s neck, towering like a pillar of heaven, was unexpectedly severed by a small half in that moment, a horrifying wound.
However, it was merely a small half!
No blood oozed from the wound, and Xierui didn’t perish because of it!
Or rather, Xierui wasn’t even considered severely injured, as evident from her startled yet painless expression.
"Are you stupid? I am fused into the Heavenly Emissary Standard, using it as a vessel, a statue that has no blood. If you could slice off my head in one go, you might cause me and the standard to perish together, but alas, you lack that capability, haha!" Xierui laughed hideously.
An angel fused with the Heavenly Emissary Standard indeed differed from ordinary human cultivators, unless the most deadly of injuries damaged both the standard and the angel to be slain.
Ye Haochuan’s face turned pale, clearly the series of attacks had taken a significant toll and backlash on him.
He might still have the capability to repeat the series of previous actions, but Xierui clearly wouldn’t give him a second chance to succeed.
He glanced lightly at Xierui, suddenly curling his lips into a sinister smile.
"What?" Xierui’s heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding pervading her entire being.
The next moment, she suddenly noticed a green jade sword in Ye Haochuan’s hand, appearing at an unknown time, swiftly swung by him.
This sword seemed like nothing more than a child casually waving a wooden stick, with no special effects.
But at that moment, Xierui felt a rising sense of danger.
She dared not take it lightly and quickly raised the light barrier for protection.
However, the light barrier had just formed when it was instantly crushed by an invisible force.
The next moment, Xierui’s neck was sliced into two segments, her entire form collapsing like a fractured mountain.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Amidst the debris, a paper-white Xierui stared at the ruinous scene in disbelief.
In the moment of invoking the light barrier, she had quickly departed the statue under her inner anxiety, narrowly escaping death, though she still suffered severe backlash and significant injuries.
But soon, hope and killing intent rekindled in her eyes.
Because she realized, after executing that strongest attack, Ye Haochuan was now in an exceedingly weakened state, slumped upon a fragment of stone, seemingly unable to even move a finger.
"Haha, you launch such a desperate attack, succeeding in shattering my angelic standard, and yet, you still end up dying at my hands," Xierui sneered, using the last of her strength to support her body, slowly moving toward Ye Haochuan, eyes filled with killing intent.
For her, there was only one conviction at this moment, to completely kill Ye Haochuan, the one who had shattered the Holy See to pieces.
