Chapter 80 78. The Battle of the Three Immortals Against Liuli! (Part 2)
In the colorless, formless realm of Heart's Illusionary Realm, Tian Liuli, radiating spiritual light, pointed slowly to the sky and spoke in a cold voice, "No matter how you struggle, it is useless, because... above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!"
As her words came to an end, at her fingertip, an ancient sword that rippled like water slowly revealed itself.
Above the sword was the figure of a woman, upside down, thrusting her sword downward in a reverse grip.
Tian Liuli didn't even glance at Liu Ruoxue above, her fingertip met the sword tip without injury, not falling short in the slightest, even managing to push the sharp ancient sword back up, bit by bit.
Liu Ruoxue gripped her sword, grinding her teeth tightly, thrusting forward with all her might, but no matter how she channeled her Spiritual Power, no matter how resonant her sword's cry was, she still could not withstand the forward momentum of Tian Liuli's finger.
"Too weak, too weak, is this all there is to your Sword Dao cultivation?"
Tian Liuli shook her head.
Having said that, her jade finger, supporting the ancient Ruoshui sword with a flex and a push, sent both the sword and its bearer flying away together.
Liu Ruoxue spun in the air a few times, stepping continuously, managing to dissipate some of the tremendous force transmitted through the sword.
However, her arm still felt somewhat numb.
Hearing such mockery from Tian Liuli, her expression remained extraordinarily calm.
Even if what she said was true, so what?
Liu Ruoxue switched hands with her sword and slashed back with all her might.
A crescent arc of silver Sword Qi appeared like a waning moon.
In Tian Liuli's clear eyes, there was not the slightest ripple, her two fingers came together in a snip, and with a clear clang, she directly cut through the swath of Sword Qi.
As the Sword Qi faded, Liu Ruoxue couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Because, she saw her fully-powered slash with the ancient Ruoshui sword being directly clamped between Tian Liuli's fingers.
Looking at Liu Ruoxue's unchanging face, Tian Liuli said coldly,
"Too weak, too weak, you have no strength in your dominant hand, no finesse in your off-hand, your footwork is loose, your reactions are slow, not a single move is up to standard! With this level, you still want to stay by Mr. Xu's side? Keep dreaming! I will show you just how weak and incapable you truly are!"
"Someone like you, how can you be worthy to stay by Mr. Xu's side, you don't even compare to that fool Lin."
"Shut up!"
Hearing these words, Liu Ruoxue clenched her silver teeth, feeling a great wave of humiliation rush to her forehead.
How, how dare she speak to me like this!
Liu Ruoxue's eyes suddenly reddened, her heart surged tumultuously, gripping her sword with both hands, she slashed down with fierce force!
The Core Formation Spiritual Power within her poured into the sword body as if gone mad.
The sword's cry was long and shrill, like the roar of a dragon.
"Supreme Goodness Weak Water!"
She would show her who truly had no right to stand by his side!
Watching the lake of Sword Qi that nearly covered the whole sky, at last, a ripple appeared in Tian Liuli's eyes.
"Interesting, but that's all it is, merely interesting."
She lifted her palm, as if made of crystalline Liuli, and slowly struck out.
This time, she no longer used her finger, but her palm.
"Witness for yourself a palm skill that defies the heavens."
The spiritual light was still gathered in her palm, yet to be unleashed, but beneath its imposing aura, the lake of Sword Qi formed by Liu Ruoxue already began to ripple, causing Liu Ruoxue's own stance to waver.
At that moment, two figures who had been lying in wait for a long time finally made their move.
Like thunder, like blazing fire!
Xu Yuan, holding the Thunderfire Sword, dashed forward like a flash of lightning and blaze.
Behind him, a slender figure reminiscent of Rem followed, swaying in his wake.
Above them, Lin Qingque transformed into mountains and rivers, descending like a range of peaks!
A smile curled on the corners of Tian Liuli's lips. She had been waiting for the two of them for a long time.
As for Liu Ruoxue, even though she was the highest realm among those present.
She did not take her into consideration at all.
A mere Core Formation, no matter how talented, what of it?
In her eyes, the ones truly warranting vigilance were Xu Yuan, the ones needing her full effort were Lin Qingque.
Liu Ruoxue?
Merely a filler.
With a wave of Tian Liuli's jade hand, the Exquisite Jade Tower floating around her immediately emitted a buzzing sound.
The next moment, the Exquisite Jade Tower suddenly expanded countless times in size, enveloping both of them.
But, it was at that moment that Tian Liuli's beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Behind her, the real Xu Yuan and Lin Qingque appeared, carrying the majestic presence of wind and thunder.
"Fake? But I clearly probed with my Divine Sense, there shouldn't have been an error."
Tian Liuli had already been on guard against Xu Yuan's Illusory Realm treasure, but she had not expected that she would still be deceived.
And at this moment, the Exquisite Jade Tower shot through the air, trapping two residual images, obviously unable to return to guard her side.
"But it doesn't matter."
Because she had already cultivated the Heavenly Emperor Liuli Body.
Tian Liuli's face did not show the slightest hint of panic, her other hand's fingers closed together, forming a fist, and she then threw a punch.
Boom!
Space before her caved in at a terrifying rate, followed by ripples spreading out.
Lin Qingque's face also lost its previous ease as she operated her full strength; the landscapes depicted by her Heart Power and Spiritual Power became increasingly lifelike.
Then, in the expressionless eyes of the two of them, they collided with a loud bang.
Xu Yuan did not concern himself with the result of their collision; under the full infusion of his Spiritual Power, the image of Rem became even more vivid and clear, to the point where soft moans could even be faintly heard.
The Thunderfire Sword light forged by Throw You Rem became even more fierce and dazzling.
Tian Liuli glanced over, then, without changing her expression, tossed her hair which was also emitting Liuli brilliance and crystal clear as if a galaxy of stars was rolling in.
Xu Yuan's pupils constricted, in his eyes, they were not strands of hair, but Sword Threads!
Three thousand Sword Threads wove into a net.
And he was like a mosquito caught in the web!
He crashed head-on into Tian Liuli's net.
Clang clang clang!
If Xu Yuan's sword was thunder, then Tian Liuli's hair was clouds.
Amidst countless clear sword chimes, vast thunderous light traveled incessantly through the Sword Threads.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
But just like lightning traveling through clouds, his sword light went from an initial brilliance to gradually just occasional flashes, until finally, nearly no light remained—one by one extinguished, then futilely came to a stop inside.
Looking at Xu Yuan, who was trapped by three thousand Sword Threads unable to move, Tian Liuli, after confirming he wasn't too injured, withdrew her gaze and looked towards the others.
Under her punch and palm, the mountains and lakes they had turned into, even with the support of this world, were defeated without much capacity to retaliate.
"It's over."
Tian Liuli said indifferently, looking at the two lying in the dust.
Just when she thought the battle had ended,
"Yes, it's over."
But neither person responded to her.
The responding voice came from behind her.
