Chapter 978 975: You're Second Senior Sister?!

Luo Qingxian held the sword horizontally across her chest and nodded, "Be careful then."

Lao Ba chuckled, patting his chest with his wing, "Don't worry sister-in-law, Lao Ba is here, steady as a rock!"

"But you've got to tell me the truth... for this strategic move of mine, how many points would you give?"

Luo Qingxian wasn't in the mood to joke, saying, "Regardless, we need to move together afterwards."

Hearing this, Lao Ba's two bird legs immediately clamped together into an inward eight shape, shyly twisting his body, "Sister-in-law, you're making Lao Ba shy."

"Charge!"

Luo Qingxian's gaze suddenly turned sharp, transforming into a remnant shadow as she dashed away!

In an instant, sword winds rose to the heavens!

At the same time.

Lao Ba also spread his wings and flew up in the air, opened his mouth, and spat a black flame towards the Buddha Killer.

"Damn bald donkey, watch Lao Ba burn all the hair off you!"

However, facing this Golden Crow Divine Fire capable of burning everything, the Buddha Killer remained unmoved.

Faint golden light appeared on his body surface, allowing the black flame to burn against him, remaining unscathed and motionless.

Even though it was merely a thoughtless Bodhi Dharma Body, it was truly the Body of the Heavenly Emperor, likewise possessing "Vajra Indestructibility"!

Suddenly, the Buddha Killer disappeared as if evaporating.

When he reappeared, he had already ghost-like appeared above Lao Ba's head.

Before Lao Ba could react, he was stomped heavily on the head!

With a thunderous crash.

Despite Lao Ba's enormous size, under the Buddha Killer's foot, he seemed weightless.

"Damn!"

"Damn bald donkey, shove off, Lao Ba's getting hot and——!"

Coming to the ground, Lao Ba felt wronged, cursing to the sky, regretting not choosing to cultivate human form beforehand.

That stomp from the Buddha Killer didn't cause much physical harm, but was extremely insulting.

With a thought, his huge body suddenly shrank, becoming the size of a human. A wisp of black flame spewed from his mouth, seemingly solidifying into a chain sword, which he grabbed with a bird claw.

"Damn bald donkey, taste Lao Ba's Golden Crow Sword Technique!"

Lao Ba cursed angrily, turning into a mass of shadow that rushed towards the Buddha Killer.

Battle was imminent!

Man and bird were evenly matched!

But as time passed, Lao Ba gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Because with the Buddha Killer's "Vajra Indestructibility," Lao Ba's evolved Golden Crow Divine Fire didn't gain much advantage.

Even though "Vajra Indestructibility" only provided fire protection and couldn't repel the terrifying heat, alas, the Buddha Killer was merely a puppet controlled by Luo Hao, with no sense of pain at all.

At this moment.

Having reached the Sacred Tree, Luo Qingxian saw Lao Ba in disadvantage, bird feathers flying everywhere, and couldn't help but worry.

But she had to guard against Luo Hao, so she didn't dare be overly distracted.

However, to her surprise, Luo Hao seemed to completely ignore her, focused instead on using Divine Sense to control the Buddha Killer's Bodhi Dharma Body against Lao Ba, not paying her any mind.

Suddenly, Luo Hao turned to glance at her, smiling as he asked, "Xian'er, aren't you going to sever it?"

Actually, he was eager for Luo Qingxian to sever the Star Sky Corridor.

He had already drained the final tree marrow from the Sacred Tree, his Dao Body strengthened, and the Heart of the Sacred Tree consumed, so keeping the Sacred Tree served no purpose.

To prevent people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance descending to the Lower Realm, he still needed to expend Creation Green Lotus' power to keep the Sacred Tree from withering.

Considering this, it would be better to cut the grass under the cauldron and sever the Star Sky Corridor.

Luo Qingxian glanced at Luo Hao, remaining vigilant, secretly releasing Divine Sense to lock onto the corridor marks floating around the Sacred Tree, and slowly raised the Jinghong Artifact she held.

Majestic Sword Intent brewed forth, instantly enveloping the world.

Luo Hao couldn't help but commend, "Your Sword Dao has improved again."

Luo Qingxian remained indifferent, continuing to gather Sword Momentum.

A clear Phoenix Cry suddenly echoed through The Void.

With a slash from her sword, blazing and dazzling Sword Light tore through the air!

Yet, this slash didn't directly sever the Star Sky Corridor, only sliced a small crack in The Void.

This was because she hadn't used full force, merely testing whether Luo Hao would intervene.

Luo Hao naturally understood her intent, smiled slightly, and directly ignored her, focusing on controlling the Buddha Killer's Bodhi Dharma Body against Lao Ba.

What he wanted now was both Lao Ba, the Golden Crow Divine Beast, and Luo Qingxian.

Since both the Golden Crow Divine Beast and Plateau Saintess were valuable opportunities to enhance his power.

The Golden Crow Divine Beast could be used for consumption, the Plateau Saintess could be used as a Furnace Tripod.

"Ah—!"

Suddenly on the other side came Lao Ba's scream.

Lao Ba was once again knocked down by the Buddha Killer.

"Damn it, the Heavenly Emperor strong, terrifying indeed!"

"Honestly, I'm beat."

"Sister-in-law, hurry up, Lao Ba will be finished off!"

Luo Qingxian turned to look, seeing Lao Ba with multiple bald patches, feeling a twinge of pity.

Once she was sure Luo Hao genuinely wouldn't stop her, she raised the Jinghong Artifact again, gently brushing her fingers across the sword's body.

From the cut fingertips, rich Holy Blood seeped out, evenly smeared on the sword body.

"Holy Blood Phoenix Feather!"

Suddenly, a piercing, loud Phoenix Cry echoed across the heavens!

Blazing and dazzling Sword Light tore through the air, akin to a divine phoenix spreading its wings!

Just as the Sword Light was about to strike the corridor marks long locked by her Divine Sense, a white jade-like hand abruptly extended from thin air, effortlessly crushing the terrifying Sword Light with a single grasp.

Seeing this, Luo Qingxian's beautiful eyes trembled, the enormous counterforce causing her delicate body to stagger backward.

Watching the flying fragmented Spirit Light, she couldn't believe someone could crush her Phoenix Feather infused with Holy Blood bare-handed!

In the next moment, she realized the owner of that hand... must be a Heavenly Emperor!

At this time.

On the other side, Luo Hao's brows furrowed.

He could sense a mysterious and powerful presence approaching, knowing something terrifying was about to appear, immediately recalling the Buddha Killer's Bodhi Dharma Body to guard beside him.

Under the Sacred Tree.

Space suddenly warped.

A graceful figure slowly emerged from within.

It was a woman in a white dress.

Lao Ba suddenly flew down beside Luo Qingxian, "Did someone from the Celestial Realm come down through the corridor? Damn Lao Ba!"

Luo Qingxian's expression was grave, her gaze fixed on the woman in the white dress, retreating slightly with Lao Ba.

The mysterious and unfathomable presence of the woman in white made her instinctively feel—this was someone more powerful than the Buddha Killer!

"Welcome, Your Excellency, descending to the Lower Realm."

Luo Hao suddenly clasped his fists in salute, appearing respectful.

He didn't recognize the woman in white, but since she descended from the Star Sky Corridor, she must be a major figure from the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

And according to the information he possessed, there indeed was a female giant of the Heavenly Dao Alliance—Divine Yao Empress.

"Ah!"

Just at this moment, Lao Ba suddenly exclaimed, spreading his wings in an embrace gesture, and dashed happily towards the woman in white.

"Second Senior Sister, is that you, Second Senior Sister?"

"Hahaha... Lao Ba missed you so much!"

"Second Senior Sister, you have to give Lao Ba a kiss, or Lao Ba will ignore you!"

"..."
