Chapter 1563: Chapter 1661: Endless Killing Intent

Dugu Nian’s brow was marked with a sword wound, blood trickling down her cheek.

Meng Jun Lai’s form trembled, visibly withering away at a speed perceptible to the naked eye, but a smile unfurled across his face.

“To be able to wield such a sword in this life is enough for me,” Meng Jun Lai laughed heartily, his life force nearly depleted. Even if he doesn’t die this moment, he wouldn’t live past a fortnight.

Dugu Nian reached out to touch the sword scar on her brow, her hand smeared with a bit of blood, her face expressionless.

“You’ve wounded me, not bad at all,” Dugu Nian spoke indifferently, the cut on her brow disappearing instantaneously.

Meng Jun Lai was unconcerned; he had never hoped his sword strike would kill the Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace, just wounding the opponent was enough for him.

After all, there was a chasm in realms between the two; even with the Sword of Supreme Abyss in Meng Jun Lai’s possession, he couldn’t bridge that gap.

“You are indeed a mighty warrior, but if even I could injure you, there are others within my Sealing Sword Pavilion who could kill you,” Meng Jun Lai declared, laughing as he stared intently at Dugu Nian.

“Are you finished speaking? Your sword now belongs to me,” Dugu Nian said, utterly unconcerned with his words, as she reached out a hand.

The Sword of Supreme Abyss shuddered violently, Meng Jun Lai’s visage twisted in distress, his hands clutching tightly to the Sword of Supreme Abyss, not wanting this famed blade that had accompanied him for many years to be taken by the other.

But how could he resist Dugu Nian now? He couldn’t last long, and the Sword of Supreme Abyss whizzed towards Dugu Nian in an instant.

Snap!

Dugu Nian reached out, the Sword of Supreme Abyss falling into her hands; this sword, always ranking among the top ten legendary swords, was still restless in Dugu Nian’s hold, struggling and shaking continuously, trying to break free.

Clearly, the Sword of Supreme Abyss was very resistant to Dugu Nian, even rebellious, unwilling to be controlled by her.

Dugu Nian smiled slightly, attempting to tame the renowned Sword of Supreme Abyss with brute force, yet the sword could surprisingly withstand Dugu Nian’s oppression.

“Would you rather I destroy you than you yielding to my grip?” Dugu Nian said.

The Sword of Supreme Abyss was desperately resisting Dugu Nian’s dominating presence, and should this continue, with Dugu Nian’s Immortal realm power, she could completely shatter the sword.

However, Dugu Nian didn’t really wish to destroy the Sword of Supreme Abyss, after all, it ranked seventh among the legendary swords, indeed a divine weapon. Even if she couldn’t use it herself, she could let her subordinates wield it.

Just then, four figures suddenly appeared around Dugu Nian, front and back, left and right, each armed with a longsword, and attacked Dugu Nian simultaneously.

The four individuals appeared very abruptly, and each was particularly strong. The powerful aura emanating from their swords was not the least bit weaker than Meng Jun Lai’s Sword of Supreme Abyss.

Dugu Nian snorted coldly, the power of an Immortal realm combatant erupting forth, immediately repelling the four assailants who had appeared so suddenly.

“Kill!” Although the four were repelled, they charged at Dugu Nian once more, their Sword Qi crisscrossing, sealing off any escape for Dugu Nian, intent on slaughtering her on the spot.

“Hm?” Dugu Nian’s delicate brows furrowed, the Sword of Supreme Abyss in her hand unexpectedly flew out towards Meng Jun Lai.

At the same time, the four attackers converged from all directions. Dugu Nian couldn’t attend to the Sword of Supreme Abyss and had to first deal with these four sudden assailants.

It was indisputable that these four were also experts from the Sealing Sword Pavilion, who had lain in ambush all around, waiting for the chance to strike and kill Dugu Nian.

Meng Jun Lai’s direct challenge to Dugu Nian was merely to deplete her strength and to let Dugu Nian lower her guard after defeating him, allowing the four an opportunity to strike more effectively.

It was a particularly malicious scheme; any of these Sword Taoists lying in ambush was no less skilled than Meng Jun Lai. As they attacked simultaneously in that moment when Dugu Nian let down her guard, even an Immortal realm warrior like her was genuinely taken by surprise.

“Courting death!”

Dugu Nian stomped her foot, and everything around seemed to freeze in place, including the four figures who were brought to a standstill mere steps away from Dugu Nian, unable to move any further.

“How is this possible?” Shock was evident on the faces of the four, who had not expected that Dugu Nian still possessed such terrifying strength that her mere aura prevented these four Sword Tao masters from approaching.

Spurt!

At that moment, Meng Jun Lai, holding the Sword of Supreme Abyss, charged forward, dragging his nearly dead body, recklessly focusing the power of the Sword of Supreme Abyss into one final strike.

This desperate attack from Meng Jun Lai was not aimed at killing Dugu Nian, but to break the pressure Dugu Nian had exerted on these four martial experts.

“Break for me!” Meng Jun Lai let out a heart-wrenching roar from his throat as the Sword of Supreme Abyss shone brilliantly.

Meng Jun Lai’s body cracked inch by inch, while the oppressive force on those four Swordsmen was suddenly shattered.

Dugu Nian’s expression changed as the Sword of Supreme Abyss reached her, and the swords in the hands of the four Swordsmen pointed directly at her vital spots.

In an instant, Dugu Nian was trapped in a lethal formation bound for a certain kill.

Even with Dugu Nian’s cultivation, faced with the four great Swordsmen and Meng Jun Lai’s last strike, bought at the cost of his life, it was impossible for her to emerge unscathed.

Because these four great Swordsmen were all as strong as Meng Jun Lai, who alone could pressure Dugu Nian. Now, they were resolved to perish, unleashing their most powerful moves, determined to kill Dugu Nian at any cost.

Even if all of them, including Meng Jun Lai, were to fall here, as long as they could kill the Hall Master of Sky Swallowing Palace, their deaths would be justified.

At this critical juncture, Dugu Nian remained extremely calm, wielding a sword with two fingers, trapping the Sword of Supreme Abyss, then the phantom of a zither emerged, and the sound of the zither abruptly rose.

Hum!

The vibrations of the zither music once again affected the offensive momentum of the four great Swordsmen.

Roar!!!!!

The roar of a True Dragon resounded as a True Dragon soared from the Sky Swallowing Palace, carrying with it the wind and clouds of the Nine Heavens.

“What?” The four great Swordsmen were struck dumb, never having expected to witness a True Dragon.

Fang Lin stood on the back of the True Dragon, wielding an ancient spear, eyes wide with anger, as the eight Ancient Lamps of Flame God instantly merged into his body.

The might of the dragon descended, causing the bodies of the four great Swordsmen to sink, ultimately missing their best chance to strike.

Dugu Nian struck out with four palms, sending the four men flying away.

Fang Lin leapt down from the back of the True Dragon, directly attacking one of the Swordsmen, while the True Dragon avatar dealt with the other three Swordsmen.

“Should we intervene?” Nangong Shoujian glanced at Silver Fox and asked.

Silver Fox smiled and said, “No need.”

But just as Silver Fox finished speaking, in the distant sky, an eyeball quietly emerged, its sinister and chilling gaze fixed on Fang Lin.

Dugu Nian’s reaction was incredibly sharp, and she immediately noticed the eerie eyeball, her face becoming solemn in an instant.
