Chapter 437: Chapter 436: Intentions Seen Through

The six finally understood Xie Jiuniang’s intention; she was trying to drag them into the Heavenly Tribulation. Her constant release of the Nascent Soul’s pressure was to accelerate the pace of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"We can’t let her transcend the tribulation!"

As soon as Lord Wenzhong spoke, everyone instantly understood.

Remembering what had befallen Lord Kongyu, everyone was invigorated and no longer held back, attacking Xie Jiuniang in unison.

Before the Heavenly Tribulation could form, they swore to kill her.

As long as she died, the Heavenly Tribulation would dissipate. Otherwise, once the tribulation started forming in the heavens, they wouldn’t dare to approach her, and in all likelihood, there would be complications halfway through.

The six coordinated exceptionally well when they made their move.

Some struck killing blows at Xie Jiuniang while others locked down the area around her, eliminating any possibility of teleportation or escape through earth burrowing.

"Master, they’re about to attack you!"

Jian Lingyan urgently warned.

Facing the joint attack of six Divinity Transformation cultivators, the dog owner had no chance of resisting!

Xie Jiuniang attempted to teleport to evade, but the attempt failed.

A powerful force seemed intent on imprisoning her there, not to mention using the Teleportation Talisman or opening the Fusang Secret Realm. Moreover, her intention to use the Heavenly Tribulation to drag others down with her was clearly seen through.

Indeed, there were few fools among those who had cultivated to Divinity Transformation.

It seemed her plan was doomed to fail, and she was utterly unwilling to accept this.

But Xie Jiuniang was not going to sit and wait for death; the Heaven Cleaving Sword Technique formed in an instant, blocking some of the Divinity Transformation power, and she swiftly formed a spiritual power shield, fending off another portion of the attack.

Yet even so, it was to no avail.

Her two actions could at most block ten percent of the force.

The remaining ninety percent was enough to be fatal. Ultimately, it was the Defense Jade Token on Xie Jiuniang’s body that shattered—the jade token, given to her by the Nalan ancestors, had finally lost its effect at this moment.

But still, the impact was more than Xie Jiuniang could bear.

The great solar flames, in the form of battle armor, shielded Xie Jiuniang from the residual force, yet still caused her, who should have stood her ground, to be hurled backward, crashing dozens of feet away.

Her chest felt as if struck by a heavy weight, her internal organs seeming to have shifted, the pain staggering, and following that, she couldn’t suppress the rush of a metallic sweetness to her throat, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Those who wanted to kill her would not give her a chance to breathe.

A thin and sharp blade of paper assaulted Xie Jiuniang’s throat, an attack from Lord Wenzhong, the paper blade being part of his Exclusive Magic Treasure.

"Master, be careful!"

Jian Lingyan exclaimed, automatically moving to block the incoming paper blade.

Clang!

The paper blade was blocked!

Broken Sword saved Xie Jiuniang’s life in the nick of time, but the cost was significant; the strength belonging to Broken Sword was greatly depleted, fortunately, because Xie Jiuniang had provided Spirit Crystals in advance.

Although Broken Sword had been thrown off, it flew back in an instant, determined to protect Xie Jiuniang to the death.

Lord Wenzhong attacked once more.

Broken Sword blocked it again and again, each time being thrown off, yet returning immediately each time.

Xie Jiuniang, deeply moved by Broken Sword’s stubbornness, braced her grievous injuries to take out the nine-tier Array Plate and insert Top Grade Spiritual Stones to activate it. Alas, it required a few moments to fully activate, and the Divinity Transformation cultivators would not give Xie Jiuniang this opportunity.

An overwhelming pressure surged towards Xie Jiuniang, like a torrential downpour off a mountain.

A flash of silver, and the Time Leaf shielded Xie Jiuniang from ninety percent of it.

But those applying the Divinity Transformation pressure were not merely one or two individuals; six Divinity Transformation cultivators acted together. The remaining ten percent of force, though only a fraction, was multiplied in strength, inflicting further injury atop her existing wounds, the intense pain almost causing her to faint.

Leaning on her immense willpower, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

She barely managed not to faint on the spot.

In the instant she crashed to the ground, enduring the intense pain, she released Little Fatty from her Exclusive Space, and let him escape through the earth. Naturally adept at hiding, Little Fatty went unnoticed by the six people.

Xie Jiuniang’s timing was impeccable.

All their attention was focused on her.

Lying powerless on the ground, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as her eyes blankly stared at the sky above.

Almost at the same moment, Su He’s Spiritual Power chains, like serpents, violently coiled towards Xie Jiuniang on the ground.

Xie Jiuniang’s instinct was to dodge, but her body was as heavy as if it were weighted by a myriad of pounds. The pressure from the Divinity Transformation had not dissipated, and while the dark clouds above gathered quickly, they were still not fast enough.

Not faster than a Divinity Transformation’s attack!

"Pu——"

The Spiritual Power chains wrapped around Xie Jiuniang, binding her limbs and piercing through the Pipa Bones of her shoulders, suspending her mid-air.

Blood dripped slowly, drop by drop, from above to the ground.

One end of the Spiritual Power chain was in Su Chihe’s hand, while the other transformed into a sharp blade, rising like a venomous snake, almost piercing Xie Jiuniang’s brow yet always failing to break the skin.

Truly, just one thrust downward would seal Xie Jiuniang’s fate.

Su He couldn’t bring himself to make the thrust, sweat beading on his forehead.

Under the threat of death, Xie Jiuniang seemed to forget the pain in her body, filled with intense resentment and despair, along with a strong unwillingness to accept her fate.

In her previous life, she died confused and clueless.

Having been reborn and learned the truth, she fought back desperately, risked her life, yet couldn’t alter her destiny, dragging innocent people to their deaths along with her...

The Nascent Soul that had just begun to form in Xie Jiuniang’s Dantian was disintegrating bit by bit, ready to dissipate at any moment.

The dark clouds above were also in a state of wanting to gather yet unable to consolidate, eager to disperse yet lingering.

It wasn’t just Xie Jiuniang who was reluctant to give up; the thick thunderclouds churning above seemed to express their own fury and unwillingness, for with anyone else’s Nascent Soul collapsing and failing to break through, the storm clouds should have dispersed long ago, but they stubbornly refused to fade now.

Lord Wenzhong frowned at Su He, "What are you hesitating for? Delay could lead to complications, why not act quickly?"

"Su He, don’t tell me you still have doubts at this moment?" the Mo Family’s Divinity Transformation challenged.

The usually invisible Lin Family Divinity Transformation spoke up, "Our grudge with the Child of Destiny is a matter of life and death. Su He, haven’t you grasped reality yet? If she doesn’t die today, tomorrow will be our doomsday."

The other two said nothing, but they looked at Su He with doubt in their eyes.

Facing the others’ questioning, Su He felt infuriated inside.

Did he not want to kill her?

He couldn’t kill her!

An invisible, mighty force was preventing him from striking the killing blow.

Every time he thought of taking action, a sense of impending crisis would rise in his heart, as if he wasn’t killing Xie Jiuniang but himself instead.

Lord Wenzhong and the others looked at Su He with confusion.

Seeing his complexion turn paler and beads of sweat drip from his forehead, they suddenly realized something.

A sense of shock surged through their minds.

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao was preventing them from killing the Child of Destiny?

Just then, the Broken Sword, having used up the last Spirit Crystal, seized the opportunity to slash at the Spiritual Power chains in an attempt to save Xie Jiuniang, again and again, seemingly tireless, "Whoo-whoo-whoo, master you must think of something, I clearly managed to sever it earlier, why can’t I break it this time?"

"Quick, think of something! You may be a bit stingy and slightly infuriating, but I still don’t want you to die, whoo-whoo-whoo, I finally found a master that I’m fond of, what will I do if you die?"

Jian Lingyan, crying and fearful, was both afraid and saddened, crying and desperately trying to save Xie Jiuniang.
