Chapter 186

Faced with the overwhelming surge of power, Lu Qingyang gently flicked his sleeve, and in an instant, thousands of sword qi emerged in the void, like a storm of arrows, instantly shattering all obstacles.

The forces clashed fiercely, and the surge of power crumbled in the blink of an eye.

The overwhelming sword qi swept over like a tidal wave. Gu Tiangang's expression changed drastically, his Dragon-Slaying Spear trembling violently. The power of the Saint's treasured weapon formed an indestructible defensive barrier, while his blood and qi surged like a volcano, forging another layer of protective spiritual power.

In almost a breath's time, Gu Tiangang had gathered all his strength, determined to withstand this thunderous blow.

"Boom—"

Thousands of sword qi slashed through the air, shattering the protective spiritual power in an instant. Gu Tiangang was engulfed by the onslaught.

At this moment, a sharp and soul-stirring aura suddenly erupted. A blood-stained figure soared from the sea of sword qi, piercing the sky.

At the same time, an ancient and solemn aura spread out, the voice preceding the figure.

"Who dares to challenge Gu Huang Dongtian..."

Lu Qingyang ignored this, flicking his sleeve once more. The condensed, dragon-like sword qi roared and instantly reached the soaring figure.

Sensing the imminent threat of death, Gu Tiangang burned his essence blood without hesitation, gripping the Dragon-Slaying Spear tightly and unleashing his most powerful strike.

However—

In the face of absolute power, any resistance and struggle seemed pale and futile.

The dragon-like sword qi, with unmatched force, penetrated the field's barrier, piercing Gu Tiangang's chest in an instant.

The terrifying power was beyond even a Saint's body to withstand. A ghastly blood hole appeared in his chest, and a destructive energy infiltrated, mercilessly destroying his vitality.

In the end, Gu Tiangang's body plummeted from the sky.

"Crack!"

As Gu Tiangang fell, thunder roared in the sky. An indescribable sorrow seeped into the hearts of the other Gu Huang cultivators, giving them a profound sense of realization.

"The fall of a Saint, all beings mourn!"

"Gu Tiangang is dead!"

Gu Huang Dongtian's morale collapsed instantly. Everyone watched in horror as Gu Tiangang's body fell from the clouds.

The fall of a Saint!

This was an outcome they had never anticipated.

Only when Gu Tiangang's body hit the ground did the Gu Huang side truly believe that he had fallen.

On the other side.

In the Qingyang Immortal Nation, Gu Fang and others were equally shocked, looking at the figure in green in the sky, as if witnessing an invincible existence.

One move?

Or two moves?

Lu Qingyang hadn't even moved his body, only wielding sword qi twice, easily killing Gu Tiangang from thousands of miles away.

Such power was simply astonishing.

Even those who had served under emperor-level forces had never heard of any Saint who could so effortlessly kill another Saint like Gu Tiangang.

Moreover, Gu Tiangang possessed a supreme Saint's treasure and the Gu Huang Saint Body, far surpassing ordinary Saints.

"Could it be that Gu Tiangang was mistaken, and the lord is not a Saint but someone beyond a Saint?"

Many had this thought, growing more convinced of their guess.

Only an existence beyond the Saint realm could so easily obliterate a Saint.

And Gu Tiangang's inadequacy prevented him from discerning Lu Qingyang's true cultivation.

With this realization.

Gu Fang and the others felt slightly at ease.

As Gu Tiangang fell, a white-robed middle-aged man stepped out of the void. Seeing Gu Tiangang's fallen body, his previously calm face changed drastically.

"He has fallen!"

At the same time, Lu Qingyang also turned his gaze to him. The ancient and solemn aura made him raise an eyebrow slightly.

"Are you the ancient Saint of the former Gu Huang Dongtian?"

With these words, Lu Qingyang activated the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Eye.

...

[Name: Dao Xueshan]

[Body: Human]

[Realm: Late Stage Tier Seven]

[Constitution: None]

...

Late Stage Tier Seven!

The strength of the white-robed man before him surprised Lu Qingyang slightly. This was a powerhouse on par with the Divine Sky Saint.

If it were ten years ago, even with a Dharma body, Lu Qingyang might not have been able to contend with such a powerhouse, but today, a late stage Tier Seven Saint was no longer a threat.

On the other side.

Dao Xueshan's cold gaze also locked onto Lu Qingyang.

"Who are you, to dare kill a Saint of Gu Huang Dongtian!"

With these words, Dao Xueshan reached out, and the Dragon-Slaying Spear returned to his hand.

"But no matter who you are, you will die today!"

With this, Dao Xueshan struck fiercely.

Even though the opponent had just killed Gu Tiangang, he, as an ancient Saint, believed he was not inferior to the current strong ones.

Gu Tiangang's strength, in his eyes, was not as great as his own.

The opponent could kill Gu Tiangang, but was by no means his match.

"Boom!"

The Dragon-Slaying Spear tore through the void. Dao Xueshan's strike was fiercer than Gu Tiangang's, with a terrifying pressure bearing down. Yet Lu Qingyang's face remained calm.

He stepped forward, lotuses blooming beneath his feet. His right index finger turned into a sword, and the sharp sword intent tore through the sky. In the next moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to transform into lethal sword qi, sweeping towards Dao Xueshan.

The endless river of sword qi made Dao Xueshan's confident face change drastically.

"Impossible... How can your power be so strong..."

Before he could finish, the river of sword qi had already swept over. All the forces in its path were like paper, instantly shattered.

The protective qi shattered!

Blood splattered!

As the sword qi dissipated, Dao Xueshan's figure had vanished into the vast world, leaving only the blood raining down, marking what had just occurred.

As the Dragon-Slaying Spear was about to fall, Lu Qingyang grasped it with a wave of his hand.

The spear struggled violently, releasing powerful energy, trying to break free from Lu Qingyang's control.

To this, Lu Qingyang smiled faintly. "I can kill a Saint; a mere Saint's treasure dares to act unruly before me!"

With these words, terrifying power surged out. The Dragon-Slaying Spear seemed to suffer a heavy blow, emitting a wail, and then fell silent.

Once the spear was subdued, Lu Qingyang's figure slowly dissipated, leaving only a sentence lingering in the air.

"Two Saints are dead; Gu Huang Dongtian will perish!"

Hearing this, Gu Fang and others were invigorated. Without hesitation, they launched a fierce attack on Gu Huang's side.
