434 Chapter 435: Targeting the Half-Saints

Bang!

Three figures clashed like lightning in the sky, and the terrifying ripples of their Dou Qi spread out in a circular pattern, tearing apart the surrounding area within a thousand meters in diameter.

No strong individual dared to approach, as this formidable force could easily crush a Dou Venerate powerhouse into nothing but blood.

"Hmph!"

After the clash, all three figures staggered back several steps, leaving behind a dark zone where even the space itself seemed to collapse.

Regaining her footing, Fairy Qing's once graceful face was now pale as paper, and her body was covered in bloodstains.

"Hehe, Fairy Qing, won't you surrender now? Don't you want to save the Flower Sect from destruction?" Old Demon Tian Ming sneered, holding back the surging blood within his body as he stared at the pale Fairy Qing, trying to threaten her.

"Dream on!"

"Old Demon Tian Ming, stop the nonsense and don't give her a chance to catch her breath. She won't last much longer!" Gui Li's eyes turned cold as he coldly shouted.

"Understood."

Old Demon Tian Ming changed his hand seals, and a vast grey Dou Qi surged out from within him. It condensed behind him into a gigantic hundreds of meters tall phantom. The phantom didn't have a tangible face, but it exuded a terrifying aura.

"Sky Profound Palm!"

Old Demon Tian Ming slammed his palm forward, and the huge phantom behind him followed suit. A chilling and soul-piercing force, accompanied by bursts of sonic booms, fiercely smashed towards Fairy Qing.

Sensing the formidable energy gathered in the phantom's palm, Fairy Qing didn't dare to be careless. Dou Qi surged rapidly from within her body, condensing into a thirty-meter-long sword aura that clashed heavily with the phantom's palm wind.

Bang!

The impact caused a thunderous explosion in the sky, and the terrifying Dou Qi storm spread out from the point of impact, obliterating an entire mountain peak nearby and turning it into a cloud of dust.

The shockwave spread, affecting even Old Demon Tian Ming. He staggered back, and his aura briefly faltered, causing his already fair complexion to pale even more.

If Old Demon Tian Ming was struggling, Fairy Qing, who was already at a disadvantage, had it even worse. Her blood surged, and before she could suppress it, she heard Gui Li's voice.

"Jie jie, a perfect opportunity!"

This voice sent shivers down Fairy Qing's spine, causing her actions to pause for a moment. A ghostly figure appeared behind her in an instant and ruthlessly struck her back with a palm, landing with tremendous force.

"Spurt!"

The unexpected attack left Fairy Qing half-numb as she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body fell and crashed heavily onto the main peak's square, creating multiple large cracks that spread across half the mountain.

Witnessing this scene, many Flower Sect experts felt their hearts sink. Fairy Qing was the strongest person in the Flower Sect, and her defeat would undoubtedly devastate their morale.

"Flower Sect members, with Fairy Qing's defeat, if any of you still resist, I won't mind slaughtering every single one of you!" Old Demon Tian Ming coldly proclaimed, stepping into the void as his chilling gaze swept over them, exuding murderous intent that echoed in everyone's ears.

All Flower Sect members hesitated when they heard the chilling voice of Old Demon Tian Ming. The once stalwart Flower Sect now faced overwhelming pressure, and despair began to settle in.

"Want the Flower Sect to surrender? You're dreaming!"

Fairy Hua, who was fighting another Half-Saint from the Hall of Souls, overheard Old Demon Tian Ming's words. She immediately disengaged from her opponent and blocked the path of Old Demon Tian Ming and the others.

"Just an intermediate-level Half-Saint, and yet you dare to act so arrogantly? You'll pay for your audacity! If you seek death, then die!"

Old Demon Tian Ming's eyes turned cold as he once again condensed a massive phantom behind him. A gigantic palm, accompanied by chilling sonic booms, viciously struck Fairy Hua.

Since her elder sister was below, Fairy Hua chose not to dodge. She condensed her Dou Qi into a protective barrier, intending to withstand the attack. However, the gap between an intermediate-level Half-Saint and a high-level Half-Saint was significant. Despite her best efforts, Fairy Hua could only resist for three seconds before gradually losing ground.

Watching the massive palm drawing near, Fairy Hua couldn't help but feel indignant and sorrowful.

'Damn it! Is the Flower Sect destined to perish today?'

Boom!

The protective barrier of Dou Qi shattered, and Fairy Hua could only watch as the enormous palm descended toward her.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a small spatial crack appeared in front of her, and a hand reached out from it. With a gentle grasp, the enormous palm was effortlessly dispelled.

"What's going on? Who dares to interfere in the matters of the Profound River Alliance and the Hall of Souls?!" Old Demon Tian Ming and Gui Li's faces changed.

Before they could even finish speaking, the crack widened, and a vast aura filled with overwhelming pressure spread like lightning.

"This Saint, Xiao Ming, dares!"

Feeling the majestic and imposing aura, Old Demon Tian Ming and Gui Li's bodies instantly stiffened, and they were overwhelmed with horror. They let out an almost incomprehensible scream that echoed through the sky.

"Leader of the Heavenly Court, Xiao Ming?! How is this possible? Weren't you supposed to be in Holy Pill City?"

Amidst the numerous astonished gazes, the crack expanded, and a white-clad youth stepped out, appearing before everyone's eyes.

"Xiao Ming?!"

"Is it Xiao Ming from the Pill Tower? Could it be that the Pill Tower has come to save us?"

"Xiao Ming could kill a Dou Saint more than a year ago, we're saved!"

As everyone looked at the familiar figure, the Flower Sect resounded with cries of joy, while the members of the Profound River Alliance were left stunned.

At this point, all battles in the Flower Sect came to a halt. Countless eyes, filled with different emotions of astonishment and fear, stared at the figure emerging from the spatial crack.

Under the terrifying pressure, even Dou Venerate powerhouses felt their minds trembling. This pressure surpassed that of high-level Half-Saints like Old Demon Tian Ming by several times!

"How could it be Xiao Ming? The Heavenly Court was just established, shouldn't he be handling affairs in Holy Pill City? How did he break through to become a Dou Saint?!" The face of Old Demon Tian Ming twitched uncontrollably.

"Perhaps he's here to recruit the Flower Sect!" Gui Li's gaze flickered with madness, feeling extremely exasperated. Why did they have to be so unlucky?

"Hehe, you guys are well-informed. The Heavenly Court learned of the situation shortly after its establishment," Xiao Ming replied with a faint smile, addressing both Old Demon Tian Ming and Gui Li.

However, in the eyes of the two old men, Xiao Ming's gentle smile seemed more terrifying than a grim reaper, and their faces stiffened. They had never expected the situation to take such a drastic turn.

"Quick, run!"

Unable to withstand the pressure, Gui Li shouted, quickly turning around and transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the spatial crack they had come through. Behind him, Old Demon Tian Ming and the other Half-Saint hurriedly followed suit.

"Do you think you can escape?" Xiao Ming shook his head slightly. His eyes gleamed, and his vast soul power transformed into white radiance, shooting out in a peculiar way, instantly catching up with the three retreating figures.

"Ah!"

The bodies of the three trembled, letting out miserable cries before plummeting from the sky.

Xiao Ming reached out with his palm towards the empty space, and the three bodies flew back, floating around him.
