Chapter 648: Chapter 457: Massacre Begins_2

The sword array erupted, countless rays of sword light intertwining, intent on pulverizing Li Yi into dust.

Yet he himself did not pause for a moment, his escape light operating at its peak. Using the sword array as cover and the powerful mana bursting forth from him, he fled swiftly. If luck was on his side, he was confident he could make it out alive; after all, that formidable cultivator named Wu Yong wouldn’t necessarily focus on someone as inconspicuous as a Nascent Soul cultivator like him.

But very quickly, he realized he was wrong.

Streams of five-colored light descended from the heavens, weaving an intricate and dense net. No matter how fast his escape light was, there was absolutely no way he could escape from this five-colored net.

"Damn it."

Yuan Ye was furious and panicked. Without hesitation, he took out a jade slip and crushed it directly.

In the next moment.

A strike appeared out of thin air, possessing power surpassing a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator’s attack. This was a secret weapon prepared by his sect elder, who had sealed part of their mana within the jade slip. It was a potent life-saving measure capable of killing a Divinity Transformation cultivator, and Yuan Ye did not hesitate to use it now, desperate to buy himself some time; he certainly did not want to die here.

However, the strike that could kill a Divinity Transformation cultivator failed to tear open the five-colored net. This scene drove Yuan Ye to despair.

At the same time.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out as Yuan Ye’s spirit was shaken. Unable to resist, he turned to look back.

He saw the Xuanhuang Seal radiating immeasurable light, causing his Tiangang Sword Array to shatter instantly, as if made of paper. The flying swords he had painstakingly collected, all upper-grade spiritual artifacts, snapped and fragmented from just one strike from the Treasure Seal, scattering into countless shards flying erratically in the air.

And within the chaos stood Li Yi, shrouded in Xuanhuang energy, entirely unscathed.

The Tiangang Sword Array had absolutely no effect on him; it merely delayed his steps momentarily. It was worth noting that on the Xuanxian Continent, Yuan Ye had relied on this very sword array to slay countless Nascent Soul cultivators.

Unexpectedly, the technique he had once been so proud of now seemed laughable.

"Li Yi, you demon! The cultivators of the Xuanxian Continent will never let someone like you go!"

Yuan Ye cried out in desperation. He had exhausted all his means but remained unable to escape. As the five-colored net descended, his death was inevitable.

Faced with certain death, he figured he might as well take his own life.

After his anguished cry, Yuan Ye’s body disintegrated, his Nascent Soul dissipating, merging into the spiritual energy of the surrounding heavens and earth.

"Your suicide has nothing to do with me."

Li Yi frowned, lifting the Xuanhuang Seal, then casually collected the storage spiritual artifact belonging to this Nascent Soul cultivator.

A mosquito may be small, but it’s still meat. His Five Elements Bracelet had ample space and could store whatever he came across.

"Now for the next one."

Without pausing, he stepped on the crimson cloud and rushed toward another Nascent Soul cultivator. Since he had already unleashed bloody carnage, there was no longer any reason to hold back.

At this moment, Wu the Taoist was also cooperating with Li Yi in unleashing indiscriminate slaughter. His Five-Colored Heaven Covering Technique was in full effect, turning all the cultivators into fish in a barrel. Even those who fled in all directions could hardly change their fate as beams of five-colored light rained down, resulting in devastating deaths among the Nascent Soul cultivators. Even those who brought out treasure artifacts to resist only prolonged their suffering; in the end, the outcome remained unchanged.

"Senior, spare me! I am willing to offer my Nascent Soul imprint and serve you as my master, bound to your will." Faced with such a desperate situation, some began to showcase the Xuanxian Continent’s unique characteristic—kneeling to swear allegiance.

In times of overwhelming defeat, such acts were not considered disgraceful.

If presented with an opportunity in the future, turning tables to bite back at one’s master would not be out of the question and could even be seen as the hallmark of a cunning rogue.

However, this Nascent Soul cultivator who begged for mercy was enveloped in five-colored light in the next moment, letting out a miserable scream before dying instantly.

Wu the Taoist remained indifferent, continuing to execute the Five-Colored Heaven Covering Technique at a steady pace, gradually extinguishing the lives of these Nascent Soul cultivators. He was in no rush to obliterate everyone in one fell swoop because he wanted these people to expend all their trump cards and hidden techniques in despair, curious if they might be able to pose a threat to a Tri-Floral Realm expert. At the same time, he was eager to observe their methods.

After all, behind Wu the Taoist stood two other formidable figures, Xuan Yuezi and Cang Erzi, silently overseeing the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the ultimate techniques unleashed by these Nascent Soul cultivators before death proved too feeble to break Wu the Taoist’s Five-Colored Heaven Covering Technique, leaving them no choice but to die with regret.

"Senior, spare my life! This humble woman is willing to serve you for eternity, without complaint or regret." A Nascent Soul female cultivator was now pale-faced with terror. She paid no heed to anything else and kowtowed desperately toward Wu the Taoist, pleading for mercy.

"Taiyi, do you want a maid? I’ll capture a few female cultivators for you. Their beauty is acceptable; they could stay and serve you by making your bed, pouring tea, and folding your quilts," Wu the Taoist transmitted his voice and asked Li Yi.

"No need. The people of the Xuanxian World are inherently cunning, ruthless, and insidious. What’s the point of keeping these venomous women? Kill them all—none shall remain." Li Yi replied decisively.

"Alright, then I won’t hold back." Wu the Taoist’s gaze darkened, his killing intent deepening.

The Five-Colored Heaven Covering Technique grew even more perilous. The female cultivator who begged for mercy was instantly dissolved by the five-colored light, leaving not even a trace of her remains. Meanwhile, those attempting to escape were blocked by a massive net that prevented their retreat, forcing them to double back.

In just a few moments, nine out of ten Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen.

"Taixian Weng, save me!" Someone cried out for help toward Taixian Weng.

But at this moment, Taixian Weng stood paralyzed with fear, not daring to make the slightest move, let alone intervene.
