《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 43: Misty Cloud's Crisis (3)
Advertisement
Qi Ximing's Tempest Domain gradually expanded, covering around 4 square kilometers, and filled the surrounding area with raging windstorms. Except for the twelve Elders and Hall Masters, the thousand Misty Cloud Sect's disciples on the ground were affected by the windstorm. They were forced to use all of their profound energy to strengthen the protective barrier, and thus, this allowed the Sacred Flame Sect's disciples to attack them.
The Misty Cloud Sect's disciples already had a hard time resist Qi Ximing's domain. Thus, they could not protect themselves from the bombards and some of them were directly killed on the spot.
Screeee—
The Ice Phoenix's projection traversed through the air in an elegant and unhurried manner. Its sharp eyes looking down at Qi Ximing as if he was an insignificant worm, unworthy of its sight. Everything along its path instantly froze and turned into ice particles afterward, including several hundreds of the Sacred Flame Sect's disciples on the ground.
Qi Ximing's expression turned unsightly when he saw his Tempest Domain gradually froze and shrank its size every time the Ice Phoenix flapped its wings. He quickly took a small green orb out and injected a portion of his profound energy into it, causing it to glow in green light.
The raging windstorm struggled hard to resist the Ice Phoenix's frost with the help of the green orb. Seeing this, Qi Ximing's tightened brows relaxed a bit. However, the threat was still there; he did not know how to deal with the incoming Ice Phoenix and could only try by shooting countless blazing wind blades toward it.
The Ice Phoenix let out a low cry and flapped its wings faster than before, charging at Qi Ximing. Facing the Ice Phoenix's frost aura, the blazing wind blades were instantly frozen and dissipated directly into ice particles.
Qi Ximing felt his entire body had turned cold when the Ice Phoenix getting closer to him. He crazily poured every ounce of his profound energy into the green orb, creating a dense storm barrier around him.
Unfortunately, his storm barrier was nothing but a gentle breeze in front of the Ice Phoenix as the latter directly froze the barrier and shattering it in the next moment. The Ice Phoenix didn't stop at that. It flew past through Qi Ximing's body at high speed and disappeared afterward.

"Ugh!" Qi Ximing was about to exclaim in shock, but his body had already turned into a frozen statue in almost an instant.
Yun Qianxue's figure traveled across the distance and arrived before Qi Ximing. She raised the divine sword up and swung it down on the latter.
Qi Ximing's heart was horrified to the extreme when he saw the sword was about to hit his head. He struggled hard, trying to escape, but he couldn't move even the slightest — he couldn't move any profound energy within his body and finally shattered into pieces under the divine sword.
Huo Han, Ji Cheng, and the rest were extremely terrified by the scene. Never did they expect the first level of Ruler Profound Realm like Qi Ximing would die so easily like that. Yun Qianxue didn't seem to do anything much. She just called the illusory Ice Phoenix out, and Qi Ximing had been defeated within a minute. This was too absurd and unbelievable.
Yun Qianxue turned to look at Ji Muchen with cold eyes, causing the latter to shiver slightly. She said, "Do you want this sword?"
Ji Muchen's mouth twitched. He didn't know how to reply at this moment. A while later, he calmed himself down and responded, "To make that move, you definitely have to pay some prices, right? I don't think you can do it again. At least, for the time being."
Yun Qianxue did not deny. "That's right. I have to pay a certain price. But you're wrong. I can use this move as much as I want. Do you want to try?"
Ji Muchen's eyes narrowed and released a powerful aura. A long black sword appeared silently in his hands. The sword had no shine and its sharpness could not even be told from looking at it. However, it constantly released immense pressure.
"Profound Sword of Calamity." Yun Qianxue glanced at the Ruler rank black sword in Ji Muchen's hands. From the record she had read before, it was said this sword will bring calamity to the enemy after getting a single slash from it.
Ji Muchen's sword intent surged and the sword in his hand suddenly glowed with black light as an overwhelmingly frightening sword's force enveloped the surrounding area.
"Descend!" Ji Muchen spoke coldly, and countless black lights shot toward Yun Qianxue in a flash.

An immense frost aura was released by Yun Qianxue. Her figure suddenly grew blur and vanished from the spot, causing the black lights to miss the target and fell upon several buildings on the Misty Cloud Peak, immediately destroyed them.
Ji Muchen brandished his sword to the right side as Yun Qianxue's figure had reappeared on that spot and slashed her sword toward him.
Ding!!
Their swords collided with each other, and Ji Muchen was the one who flew away with the impact. He didn't have time to be surprised, as Yun Qianxue appeared before him once again like a ghost, forcing him to take a defensive stance.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sounds of the two swords clashing with each other continued to ring. Ji Muchen constantly parried Yun Qianxue's attacks time after time with no way to fight back. The black glows on his sword gradually dimmed down, completely suppressed by the deep blue light from Yun Qianxue's divine sword.
Ji Muchen's face was ashen when he saw several cracks appeared on the Profound Sword of Calamity. If this continued further, without a doubt, his sword would be destroyed in no time. Thinking of this, his muscles swelled and blue veins could be seen on his forehead. His sword intent emerged behind him, forming into countless black sword shadows before all of them struck at Yun Qianxue.
At the same time, the droplet symbol on Yun Qianxue's forehead shone brightly once again, and the divine sword in her hands also released a freezing cold aura.
Instantaneously, all the Ji Muchen's sword shadows halted in midair. More precisely, they were frozen by Yun Qianxue's power.
Yun Qianxue took this chance to make a quick slash at Ji Muchen and the latter flicked his sword to meet hers with difficulty.
Bang!
The Profound Sword of Calamity in Ji Muchen's hands immediately shattered into pieces and he soon felt intense pain from his chest as a long and deep sword cut appeared on it. His entire body was knocked backward hundreds of meters with the sound of the collision.
Just as Yun Qianxue was about to follow, a sense of danger emerged in her heart and she hastily executed the Misty Cloud Steps to avoid a blazing flame that appeared out of nowhere.
She appeared two hundred meters away with her brows tightly knitted together. She glanced at her left arm and saw her sleeve was missing, as it was burned by the earlier flame.
"Good reaction time." A hoarse voice rang out from the sky along with a skinny old man.
"Huo Yan." Yun Qianxue said in a low voice. The attack earlier made her know how scary Huo Yan's strength was. Undoubtedly, he had already reached at least the fourth level of Ruler Profound Realm.
"Ancestor!" Huo Han respectfully bowed to Huo Yan. He wanted to join hands with Ji Muchen to suppress Yun Qianxue, but he was stopped by Yun Ruanyu midway and was unable to get rid of her.
Huo Yan looked at him briefly without a word and turned to Yun Qianxue. "Hand over the crown and I'll spare your life."
Yun Qianxue suddenly laughed. "No wonder your piece of trash descendant is so stupid. It turns out his ancestor is no better."
Huo Yan didn't get angry at her sarcastic remark. He said calmly, "Never mind. I'll just kill all of you here." Following with, an intense flame revolved around his body shortly before it expanded at high speed, covering ten square kilometers in a blink of an eye.
"Everyone, retreat!" Yun Qianxue shouted while releasing her frost aura to the maximum.
Without hesitation, all the disciples and twelve Elders quickly retreated to Grand Protection Formation's range.
Yun Qingrou immediately slammed the formation's eyes and the blue translucent barrier instantly covered the sect. This time, the barrier was denser than before.
Boom!
The intense flame collided with the barrier, directly created a big hole in it, but the barrier had recovered in a split second, preventing Huo Yan's flame from going further.
Watching this scene, Huo Han and Ji Muchen had realized that everything was an act from Yun Qianxue and the rest. They were certain that Qi Ximing could do nothing to the barrier, even the slightest if Yun Qianxue didn't deliberately lower the barrier's power for him.
What is their plan? This question appeared in Huo Han and Ji Muchen's minds.
