Chapter 420: Total Annihilation?

"Sword Tiger Ravage!"

Mighty Genesis Qi swept forth, as a massive sword light surged forward, like a giant tiger devouring with bristling fangs. Its malevolent aura, combined with its keen edge, was enough to shatter a mountain.

The sword light, carrying unparalleled sharpness, swept down furiously towards Yang Xuan, who was clad in white and exuded an air of refined elegance.

"Grand Luo Mystic Gold Palm!"

Right after the sword light, a petite figure followed like a shadow, her jade-like hand glowing with golden light as she slapped it out horizontally. The palm wind roared like thunder, causing the very air to tremble slightly.

Both Bai Li and Qin Hai had unleashed their combat power to the fullest at this moment.

Their fierce and unparalleled offensive was reflected in Yang Xuan's pupils. The powerful gusts generated by the rampaging Genesis Qi stirred his hair, yet in his eyes, there was not the slightest ripple of emotion, but rather a hint of mockery.

Yang Xuan shook his head slightly, stepped forward, and spread his hands. Surging Genesis Qi rose, finally forming a Genesis Qi halo, roughly ten feet in front of him.

The halo was covered with countless profound patterns, making it appear incredibly mystical.

"Sacred Wheel Art!"

The sword light, like a giant tiger biting, slashed down onto the Sacred Wheel. The Sacred Wheel reversed its rotation, unleashing a terrifying power that actually twisted and shattered the fierce and sharp sword light.

The jade-like hand, glowing with golden light, slammed down heavily. The space fractured like glass, with cracks appearing, and finally struck the Sacred Wheel.

Yang Xuan flipped his hand, and the Sacred Wheel reversed.

The power of the Sacred Wheel's reversal directly shattered the golden light on Bai Li's jade-like hand. Faintly, a sound like bone cracking could be heard, and a trace of pain flashed across Bai Li's delicate face.

Then, her figure shot backward, crashing into a hill, which collapsed entirely.

She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Seeing this, Qin Hai hastily moved, but as soon as he stirred, Yang Xuan's figure appeared like a phantom behind him. He blasted out a punch, and a torrent of violent Genesis Qi roared forth like a giant python.

Qin Hai hastily turned around, crossed his arms, and Genesis Qi surged frantically, forming a layer of defense.

However, that Genesis Qi defense shattered instantly, and Qin Hai's face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying backward in a sorry state.

In just a moment, both of them were severely wounded.

In mid-air, Yang Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the two of them. He smiled and said, "I told you not to humiliate yourselves, but you just wouldn't listen."

Bai Li glared at Yang Xuan, her eyes spitting fire, as she struggled to her feet, swaying unsteadily.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Such spirit."

Then, with a flick of his finger, a stream of Genesis Qi shot out like a cannonball and heavily struck Bai Li's shoulder. Immediately, blood splattered, and Bai Li herself was sent flying backward.

"Yang Xuan!" Qin Hai roared in fury and charged violently towards Yang Xuan.

However, Yang Xuan didn't even turn his head. With a mere flick of his sleeve, a mighty torrent of Genesis Qi surged out and violently collided with the charging Qin Hai.

As a result, Qin Hai once again spat blood and flew backward.

Qin Hai's body seemed to be embedded in the mountain rock. He spat out two mouthfuls of fresh blood, and the intense pain throughout his body gradually dimmed his eyes. A sense of powerlessness arose within him.

He knew that even if he and Bai Li teamed up, they were no match for Yang Xuan before them.

He shook his head bitterly and whispered hoarsely, "Senior Sister Li, Senior Brother Zhao Zhu, we... we truly did our best."

Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu, who were currently confronting Wang Li and Cao Jinzhu, also heard Qin Hai's hoarse voice from the transmission stone at this moment. Both their hearts sank immediately.

Clearly, the situation over there was dire.

The coldness in Li Qingchan's beautiful eyes almost solidified into ice, but facing this situation, she didn't have many options. After all, Wang Li and Cao Jinzhu's strength was not to be underestimated; if they were determined to hold them back, Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu truly couldn't break free.

"Heh heh, my two friends," Wang Li said with a smile to Li Qingchan, "why be so insistent this time? We are merely acting on orders. If you can withdraw, we won't interfere with your last two hundred *li*."

Li Qingchan's voice was bone-chillingly cold as she replied, "I'd like to see you try to interfere. Let's see who pays the greater price in the end."

Sensing the killing intent in Li Qingchan's words, Wang Li waved his hand and said with a grin, "Peace, peace. For a mere few hundred *li* of Blazing Marrow Vein, why go to such an extent?"

Li Qingchan's eyes were icy cold. By now, it was no longer just about a few hundred *li* of Blazing Marrow Vein; it was about the Sacred Palace wanting to make the Cangxuan Sect lose face in Black Flame Province!

But even knowing this, given the current situation, she was helpless and could only feel indignant anger in her heart.

Outside the volcano.

Elder Wu watched the increasingly unfavorable situation. His aged face was filled with indignation. He could hear the whispers from the other factions at this moment and see the strange looks directed his way.

These gazes made Elder Wu's heart suddenly turn cold, as if he understood something. He immediately cast a chilling glance at the Sacred Palace elder. It seemed the Sacred Palace intended to extend its influence into Black Flame Province.

That's why they resorted to underhanded tactics: their aim was to publicly humiliate the Cangxuan Sect in front of all the forces in Black Flame Province, using this as a means to intimidate the native powers there.

After all, if even a behemoth sect like the Cangxuan Sect was repeatedly put in a difficult position by the Sacred Palace, it clearly demonstrated the Sacred Palace's might.

And after establishing a foothold here, the Sacred Palace would have many ways to infiltrate Black Flame Province, eventually turning it into an extension of the Sacred Palace's influence.

Their ambitions were considerable.

"What cunning schemes!"

Elder Wu's eyes were dark, and he suppressed a surge of anger in his heart. Even knowing the Sacred Palace's tactics, he was helpless. After all, they could not intervene in the current situation; otherwise, it would escalate into a higher-level conflict.

Yang Xuan cracked his neck, then looked with what seemed like pity at Bai Li and Qin Hai, who couldn't even stand. He then glanced elsewhere, noting that the other Cangxuan Sect disciples were also in a dire situation, as the Sacred Palace disciples they faced held a numerical advantage.

So Yang Xuan smiled at Bai Li and Qin Hai and said with a touch of melancholy, "It seems your Cangxuan Sect will soon be completely wiped out this time..."

Bai Li spat out a blood arrow infused with Genesis Qi. It shot through the air like an arrow, fiercely aimed at Yang Xuan's face.

Genesis Qi instantly formed a defense within Yang Xuan.

The Genesis Qi on the blood arrow was shattered, but a few drops of blood still landed on Yang Xuan's handsome face.

He frowned, lightly wiped the blood from his face, and chuckled helplessly, "Although killing you would be a bit troublesome, if you're going to be so provocative, then I really can't be blamed."

In his eyes, a ruthless intent arose. Genesis Qi gathered on his palm, finally forming a spear of Genesis Qi light, its tip flickering with a cold gleam.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Xuan's face was expressionless. With a wave of his hand, the Genesis Qi light spear suddenly shot out violently, aiming directly at Bai Li's glabella.

Bai Li watched the incoming light spear, gritting her silver teeth, her eyes wide open and showing no fear.

"Senior Sister Bai Li!" Not far away, the exclamation of a Cangxuan Sect disciple rang out.

"Whoosh!"

The Genesis Qi light spear rapidly grew larger in Bai Li's pupils. And just as it was about to strike, countless white light threads suddenly surged from above, forming a white net that interwoven in front of Bai Li.

The Genesis Qi light struck the white net, which frantically contracted, stretching into a heart-stopping arc.

However, finally, when the white net was only half an inch from Bai Li's face, it slowly came to a halt. The sharp aura of the light spear seeped through, causing a dot of blood to appear on Bai Li's glabella.

A slight stinging pain on her glabella brought Bai Li back to her senses. She immediately looked up sharply, only to see a black brush hovering above her head. Its snow-white bristles hung down from its tip, forming the white net in front of her and blocking that fatal blow.

Yang Xuan stared at this scene and was momentarily stunned. He then chuckled helplessly, turned his head slightly, and looked into the distance behind him. "Those seeking death are truly rushing here," he said. "You Cangxuan Sect are truly ridiculous."

There, he saw a slender figure, indistinct at first. His form was somewhat blurred, but with a few steps, he gradually became clear.

Bai Li stared blankly at the figure.

"Zhou...Zhou Yuan?"

The next instant, her delicate face changed dramatically. She urgently cried out, "Are you an idiot? Get out of here!"

Even they had fallen. If Zhou Yuan came, what else could happen but for him to be easily dealt with? He'd just be an extra side dish!

She hadn't expected that Zhou Yuan, who had been hiding outside, would actually walk into a trap. Such an action was truly irrational.

Zhou Yuan smiled at Bai Li without speaking. He simply turned his gaze to Yang Xuan, who was clad in white and looked incredibly elegant. With a sweep of his hand, the Heavenly Yuan Brush flew into his grasp. He lightly raised it and pointed it at Yang Xuan.

"Am I not still here?" he asked. "As for a complete wipeout, it's probably still too early to say, isn't it?"
