Zhu Qingyan smiled bitterly. As the Lord of the White Bone Cult's Sub-Altar, his master naturally had many life-saving means. Unless a Saint came, it would be difficult for an ordinary Grandmaster to stop him. How could he be killed so easily by Xi Qianye, a Spiritual Realm cultivator?
Today's situation was already a dead end. There was no way they could fight against a Fourth Firmament Venerable.
However, looking at the broken sword in his master's hand, Zhu Qingyan was extremely shocked.
He recognized that sword. It was his master's lifeblood. It could be said that it was his master's last life-saving trump card. Other than him, who had been by his master's side since he was young, no one else knew about the existence of this sword.
This sword was called Chengang. It was a Quasi-Saint Sword with a trace of a Saint's power. If a Grandmaster had such a sword, no one below the Peerless Saint would be a match for him.
His master had obtained the Chengang Sacred Sword because of a great fortune. He had been carefully hiding it and did not dare to tell anyone.
Unexpectedly, not only was the Chengang Sacred Sword unsheathed, but it was also broken.
Breaking a Quasi-Saint Sword was such a terrifying thing. It could only be done by a Peerless Saint with all his strength.
What kind of danger did his master encounter that forced him to this extent?
"Where is that little bastard?"
Altar Lord Bai Gu stared fiercely at Zhu Qingyan. He could feel Xi Qianye's aura from him.
His hatred for Xi Qianye could not be washed away even with all the water in the Nine Heavens.
Just now, he was so close to dying here. Everything would have been over.
If he had not decisively exploded the Chengang Sacred Sword at the critical moment and unleashed his Saint's power to tear a hole in the Saint Formation and escape, he would have been a skeleton by now.
A Quasi-Saint Sword was a peerless treasure in the entire Xiling Country. Now that it was destroyed, one could imagine how he felt.
"You're not dead. You're quite tough."
A faint voice sounded from the end of the tree hole. A young man in snow-white clothes slowly walked out of the darkness. He looked at Altar Lord Bai Gu indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.
"Little bastard, I'm going to tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust."
When Altar Master White Bone saw Xi Qianye all of a sudden, his hatred exploded. His eyes were bloodshot, and he took a step forward. Afterimages appeared one after another as he crossed a hundred meters and appeared in front of Xi Qianye.
A fourth level Exalt Realm cultivator dealing with a little fellow at the Spirit Realm was simply like a tiger dealing with an ant, and he could kill a bunch of them with a single breath.
However, Altar Lord White Bone missed. Before he could grab Xi Qianye, a graceful white figure had already appeared in front of him silently. He did not sense anything as the white figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
A horrifying chill assaulted his face. It was as if he had fallen into the underworld in an instant, chilling him to the bone.
Altar Master White Bone was alarmed, and he didn't dare to continue ringing. He subconsciously dodged the attack, as the white figure made him feel extremely dangerous.
"Who are you?"
Altar Master White Bone cried out in shock. There was actually someone else in the tree cave, and that person's cultivation was so high.
No one responded to him, and only a pair of cold eyes stared at him. The temperature plummeted, and the water vapor in the air turned into snowflakes. The hot summer turned into a cold winter in an instant.
"So beautiful."
Zhu Qingyan looked at the white figure in shock. It was an extremely beautiful woman. Her clothes were whiter than snow, and she was like a snow lotus that bloomed on the cliff.
The young master of the Serene Green Mountain, who was known to have seen all kinds of beauties, was completely stunned at this moment. The only pity was that this woman was too cold and arrogant. Her bones were like divine jade, and her skin was like frost. She didn't look like a human, but more like a perfect jade sculpture.
"Who are you? I have a deep grudge against Xi Qianye. I hope you won't meddle in my business. I'll definitely reward you generously."
Altar Master White Bone probed. The mysterious woman's sudden appearance made him a little uncertain, and the situation became a little complicated.
This place was so secretive and dangerous. Weren't they the only ones here? How could there be someone else?
"A mere fourth-level Heaven Venerable actually dares to offend Master. You're simply courting death."
In the depths of the tree cave, a cold voice sounded again. A middle-aged man walked over slowly. His hair and eyebrows were snow-white, and his eyes were filled with wisdom and vicissitudes of life. It was impossible to have such eyes without a few hundred years of experience.
Altar Master White Bone was shocked. There was actually someone inside, and he didn't sense it at all.
"Master, who's your master?"
Altar Master White Bone stared at Hua Yiran. This person's dangerous aura wasn't any weaker than the white-clothed woman's, and he couldn't see through this person's depth.
The older one was, the wiser one would be. Altar Master White Bone had lived for more than a hundred years, and he immediately realized that this person wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, this person actually had a master. What kind of existence could be his master?
Altar Master White Bone had already thought of retreating. The ominous feeling in his heart was getting stronger.
"Master, how should we deal with this person?
I've been trapped here for a few decades. Although my cultivation has deteriorated greatly, and I'm not even 10% of what I used to be, dealing with a mere fourth-level Heaven Venerable is not a problem. "
Hua Yiran bowed respectfully. He looked at Xi Qianye with reverence, as if he was looking at a great god.
When he was at his peak, he was a famous Martial Venerable in the Southern Barbarian Continent. There weren't many people in the Martial Venerable Realm who could exchange blows with him. If Absolute Saints didn't appear, Martial Venerables were the strongest existences.
Altar Master White Bone was a fourth-level Heaven Venerable, and Hua Yiran didn't care about him at all, even though he was severely injured and had only recovered a little.
Altar Master White Bone's body stiffened as he looked at Xi Qianye in shock. He had never dreamed that the mysterious middle-aged man's master would actually be Xi Qianye. When did he have such an identity?
Zhu Qingyan was also extremely shocked. He couldn't understand the scene in front of him.
"Just kill him directly."
Xi Qianye said lightly. Since the Sacred Array didn't kill him, he would just have to spend some effort to kill him.
There were many things here that were still useful, and he didn't want others to know about it.
Hua Yiran didn't have time to attack. As soon as Xi Qianye finished speaking, the Saintess Corpse Puppet flew out like a flash of light. She arrived in front of Altar Master White Bone in an instant and slashed down with her sword.
The Saintess Corpse Puppet Hanyu had been refined by Xi Qianye again. She was telepathically connected to him, and he could control her with just a thought.
Cold air swept out, and the sword light was like frost, separating heaven and earth.
Altar Master White Bone didn't expect that cold and beautiful woman to obey Xi Qianye's orders. He hurriedly waved his sword to block.
In terms of cultivation, Altar Master White Bone wasn't confident that he could defeat the cold woman. However, he was holding a Quasi-Holy Sword. Although it was broken and lost a lot of Saint Qi and power, it was still a Quasi-Holy Sword.
Even if it was broken, it couldn't be compared to ordinary treasured swords.
With the power of the Quasi-Holy Sword, Altar Master White Bone was confident that he could block the cold woman for a while and find an opportunity to escape.
