Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Cang Lu coldly snorted, kicking the bottom of the zither, instantly turning the upright instrument horizontally.

He lowered his head, slowly closing his eyes, his hands caressing the strings, infusing them with powerful Yuan energy.

The strings instantly turned a light golden color.

Cang Lu's aura exploded, the pressure of the Refinement Void Realm weighing down on Li Guanqi like a massive mountain.

Li Guanqi's speed was visibly reduced by a full twenty percent.

Nine Heavens shattered the pressure head-on, opening its bloody maw as lightning gathered.

Icy dragon eyes flashed with ferocity, and it opened its mouth towards Cang Lu, unleashing a beam of lightning!

Boom boom boom!!!

The terrifying lightning pillar tore through the sky, sweeping across the heavens and earth with a dense aura of destruction.

Cang Lu's pupils instantly shrank, and he crushed an ancient jade ring on his index finger!

In an instant, layers of magnificent golden shields appeared around him!

Boom!!!

Nine Heavens' lightning breath furiously poured onto the shields.

Crack!!

Cang Lu stared in astonishment at the cracked jade ring in his hand, his left hand tearing through the void, instantly teleporting hundreds of feet away.

The lightning breath, without a target, continued to shoot backward, and with a loud bang, a hole two hundred feet in radius was pierced through the void.

Li Guanqi watched Nine Heavens pursue Cang Lu, his face unchanged despite the immense pressure, lightning flashing beneath his feet as he instantly vanished from the spot.

Cang Lu caught sight of this out of the corner of his eye, a sneer appearing on his lips: "Teleporting in front of me? What are you… thinking!!!"

Boom!!!

Terrifying spatial power frantically squeezed the void, but Cang Lu couldn't find Li Guanqi's figure in space.

Bang!!!

The void behind Cang Lu suddenly exploded!!!

Li Guanqi, his clothes torn, revealing hideous scars, had already slowly raised the Red Lotus Sword!!!

The spot where Li Guanqi had been standing suddenly collapsed, creating a pitch-black hole dozens of feet wide.

The entire sky instantly shattered under Li Guanqi's power.

Only now did he realize that Li Guanqi hadn't used spatial power to teleport into nothingness at all.

Instead, he had achieved the same speed as teleportation with his pure physical strength and movement technique!

Grasping one side of the zither with one hand, he swung it backhand, smashing it towards his back!!!

At the same time, the jade ring on his finger emitted its final glow, and a heavy golden shield appeared behind Cang Lu.

Li Guanqi's fingers made cracking sounds as he gripped the sword hilt tightly, his arm instantly swelling, muscles bulging, veins popping, as he swung the Red Lotus down with a roar!!

"Demonic Shadow Slash · Dark Night!"

Boom!!!

At this moment, Li Guanqi's killing intent erupted, his power reaching its peak, and the world suddenly darkened.

Clang!!!

The Red Lotus cleaved off a corner of the zither, followed by a fierce kick to Cang Lu's shoulder, the sound of bones breaking ringing out.

Cang Lu's figure plummeted from the sky like a cannonball, crashing into the ground with a deafening roar!

The earth shook, the mountains along the way were pierced through, and a pit hundreds of feet in radius appeared on the ground.

Dust filled the air, but Li Guanqi didn't give Cang Lu the chance to breathe, his figure plummeting rapidly like a cannonball.

Flames wrapped around the Red Lotus Sword, and the power of the Heavenly Fire Purple Dragon Lightning Flame instantly surged into the Red Lotus.

Whoosh!!!

A gust of wind blew past, and the dust dissipated, revealing Cang Lu standing in the deep pit, covered in blood.

The golden strings of the zither had already snapped, and Nine Heavens' figure suddenly appeared in the pit, its massive dragon tail whipping towards Cang Lu!

The whistling wind was ear-piercing, and the power of the dragon's tail tore rifts in the space it passed through.

Cang Lu frantically grabbed the strings with his six fingers, instantly reattaching them, his hands sweeping across the strings!

In an instant, more than a dozen sound blades, mixed with a piercing sonic wave, flew towards the incoming dragon tail.

Boom boom boom!!

A violent explosion sounded, and Nine Heavens suddenly let out a painful roar.

A black shadow shot out of the pit, and several deep wounds appeared on Nine Heavens' dragon tail.

Scales shattered, flesh flew!

The enraged Nine Heavens turned and its dragon claws lashed out at Cang Lu.

Its speed was extremely fast, reaching him in the blink of an eye!

The terrifying power distorted the surrounding space, making it impossible for Cang Lu to teleport.

Helpless, Cang Lu could only hold the zither horizontally in front of him, flicking his fingers repeatedly.

Sound blades erupted, but the dragon claws crushed them all, their momentum undiminished!

Crack crack crack crack!!

Sparks flew, and deep gouges were clawed into the hard zither, the immense force sending Cang Lu flying hundreds of feet.

Cang Lu's face paled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, the bones in his right shoulder shattered by Li Guanqi's kick.

The zither slammed into his chest, breaking several ribs, the fractured bones piercing his lungs, causing him unbearable pain.

Suddenly!!

Cang Lu felt a chill run down his spine, Li Guanqi had already arrived at his side!!

Cang Lu's eyes shrank to pinpoints, he had severely underestimated Li Guanqi's combat power.

Such strength had far exceeded his expectations!!

Li Guanqi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and taking advantage of Cang Lu's moment of coughing up blood, lightning flashed beneath his feet as he drew a mysterious trajectory with his sword, slashing fiercely towards Cang Lu!

"Heaven Sundering Sword Art · Immortal Execution!"

Boom!!!!

A terrifying sword light, hundreds of feet in size, instantly erupted!!!

At this moment, Li Guanqi was no more than three feet away from Cang Lu, and if this sword landed at such close range, Cang Lu would surely die!!

Dazzling lightning and terrifying fire power erupted.

Cang Lu forcibly tore through space, teleporting back hundreds of feet, but the speed of the sword light was too fast.

Cang Lu teleported five times in a row, but could not escape the range of the sword light.

The zither in his hand erupted with a dazzling light, Cang Lu held the zither upright, and his right hand fiercely hooked the strings.

The five strings were pulled hard towards his chest, like drawing a bowstring.

Cang Lu's eyes flickered, and violent Yuan power surged wildly into the zither.

"Five Demonic Sound Kill!!!"

The veins on Cang Lu's neck bulged, and the fingers on his right hand were instantly severed by the strings!!

The five strings snapped violently!

Boom boom boom!!!!

Five terrifying sound blades, each hundreds of feet in size, instantly erupted.

At the same time, a bizarre, pitch-black array disk suddenly appeared in Cang Lu's hand.

Then, strange forces transformed into pitch-black threads, concealed within the sound blades, and attacked Li Guanqi!!

Lightning surged around Li Guanqi, and he was just about to pursue Cang Lu.

Suddenly!!

A series of violent explosions rang out in his ears, and terrifying sound waves swept in all directions!!

Li Guanqi's eardrums were instantly pierced, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his mind was clouded.

At this moment, countless black threads suddenly wrapped around the Red Lotus Sword!!

An irresistible force came, and the Red Lotus Sword instantly slipped from his grasp!!!

Li Guanqi was instantly shocked!!!

"Not good!!"

Cang Lu's voice suddenly came from his ear: "Hahahaha, let me give you a big gift!! Li Guanqi!!"
