Chapter 885: Explosive Breakthrough Against the Enemy

It came out of nowhere! Suddenly, a couple of Demon Practitioners appeared, and chaos ensued—they seemed bent on wrecking the place.

And it just so happened that these two Demon Practitioners ran into Su Kexin, who was locked in place. With their hatred for cultivators, they quickly generated thoughts of killing her.

“One less cultivator to deal with, and who knows, we might get a nice reward for it!” they thought with glee as they drew their blades without a moment’s hesitation. Looking at Su Kexin, helplessly trapped, they slashed down—blood would surely spill.

At this moment, Su Kexin had no ability to fight back. Trapped and unable to move, she thought that the official soldiers wouldn’t personally harm her, so she waited for her father, Su Lingjiang, to come—and then these Demon Practitioners attacked!

What to do? Confronting them head-on would be difficult, especially while bound!

Father hasn’t arrived yet… this is hopeless!

Su Kexin was in a dreadful situation, with no ability to resist whatsoever.

Xia Hanmo was terrified, seeing Su Kexin, who was completely defenseless, about to be killed. As a weak woman herself, she felt utterly powerless.

“Miss Su!” she couldn’t help but scream, but it was futile—she could only watch as Su Kexin was struck.

The blade pierced Su Kexin’s vitals, but it wouldn’t be a quick death. The Demon Practitioners enjoyed letting their victims suffer a bit before finally snuffing out their lives.

Now, emboldened by the strength of the Demon Practitioners, they casually tortured these cultivators.

This blade was infused with Demon Qi and deadly poison; when it cut, Su Kexin would endure immense pain before ultimately succumbing.

“Alright, let’s take that woman with us. This cultivator is on the brink of death,” one of the Demon Practitioners declared, stowing his blade before turning his gaze to Xia Hanmo, planning to break her chains and take her away.

They considered this an unexpected windfall—this trip was like a walk in the park, and they’d surely reap accolades for their efforts!

However, just as they approached Xia Hanmo, the situation took a dramatic turn.

Because they dared to provoke someone they shouldn’t have—namely, Lin Nuo, the greatest villain in this Spirit world, who was utterly unkillable.

After a long dormancy, her potential flared back to life; even the calmest sea could stir up thousands of waves.

A powerful force surged forth, causing the blood from her wound to stop flowing immediately, and then—the chains binding her shattered into pieces!

Her body was now infused with unprecedented powerful Spirit Energy, which surged out towards the approaching Demon Practitioners.

“She’s not dead; she shows no signs of poisoning.”

“What the heck is happening?!”

The two Demon Practitioners were stunned; this situation was beyond their wildest imagination.

Who could have predicted that such a seemingly powerless cultivator, who appeared utterly defenseless and destined to become a ghost—now resembled a phoenix rising from the ashes, fully revived!

Her sword, previously confiscated and sealed by the official soldiers, felt her call and broke free from its restraints in an instant, flying straight to Su Kexin at lightning speed, ignoring all obstacles.

As she experienced rebirth like a phoenix, her sword transformed just as magnificently.

The Phoenix Sword zoomed through the exuding formidable Spirit Energy, overwhelming the Demon Practitioners in its wake.

“What is happening?”

“What on earth? What kind of sword is that?”

Both the Demon Practitioners and the Dong Wei soldiers were utterly shocked—this development was too bizarre and caught them completely off guard.

The flying sword darted with incredible speed—like Lin Nuo’s Windy Flight technique—and in the blink of an eye, it was in Su Kexin’s grasp.

Gone was Su Kexin’s former innocence; her expression had turned cold and ruthless, completely unrecognizable from before.

No one knew what had transpired; there wasn’t even the faintest sign—this change was completely unexpected.

As the Phoenix Sword landed in her hand, it unleashed a powerful wave of Spirit Energy, sending the Demon Practitioners reeling.

This Spirit Energy was so fierce that it seemed to selectively push back the Demon Practitioners while leaving Xia Hanmo unharmed—the chains on her limbs shattered, granting her freedom.

“Damn it, what happened to that woman?!”

“I’ll handle her; you take Lin Nuo’s mother away!”

With that, the Demon Practitioner who had just made a strike readjusted and sped toward Su Kexin.

Demon Soul Power surged, and ghostly spirits manifested around his blade.

He swung down.

But he met his end.

A Phoenix Soul burst forth, stunning the Demon Practitioner into a state of shock as his body ignited in flames; all the soul energy and Demon Qi acted as fuel for the fire.

“Ah!!!”

He screamed, but the sound quickly faded.

The moment the Phoenix Sword descended, he perished instantly and without suffering.

Then, she swiftly darted toward Xia Hanmo, sword in hand—the Demon Practitioner hadn’t even reacted before he was cut down.

“Miss Su…”

Xia Hanmo’s worry deepened; the Su Kexin before her was completely different—a stranger, as if transformed. Was she under some evil influence?

Before she could voice her concerns, Su Kexin lifted her Spirit Sword and cast a protective spell over Xia Hanmo.

A mark of the phoenix emerged on Xia Hanmo, a shield from Su Kexin’s Spirit Technique. No Demon Practitioner could approach her; any who dared would ignite in flame!

Before long, the Demon Practitioners and Dong Wei soldiers felt the pressure of her extraordinary power. Even the Phoenix Spirits swirling behind her resembled ancient divine beasts.

Just then, more Demon Practitioners rushed in, aiming to surround Su Kexin.

“Bind her up!”

They were quick and coordinated; the magic ropes appeared in an instant.

However, the blaze of the Phoenix flames erupted, engulfing their bodies in flames, then a wave of sword energy cut them down.

They had sensed the power of this female cultivator and changed strategies—now, they simply needed to whisk Xia Hanmo away.

A sneaky shadow advanced, but was promptly sliced down by Su Kexin’s blade, the figure collapsing as it emerged from the shadows.

“What the—?!”

Lin Nuo, lurking in the shadows, felt something was off. This surge of Spirit Energy awakened memories of past terror and bloodshed.

His sword also began to respond, summoning the Phoenix Soul.

“Ah, Su little sister?”

Lin Nuo finally understood; the Demon Practitioners had crossed paths with someone they shouldn’t have.

Indeed, after lingering for a time, he found it hard to proceed further.

He spotted her.

The Phoenix Sword had evolved; it was ablaze, with Phoenix Souls swirling around her.

The Phoenix Soul noticed Lin Nuo’s own Phoenix Soul and pounced right at him, moving with incredible speed—immediately knocking him down.

“Why did you fly out like that?!”

With his Phoenix Soul exposed, he faced a grim fate, as Su Kexin had already set her sights on him.
