Chapter 1751: Father and Daughter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The white-robed figure was none other than Liu Qianhuan’s father, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect—Liu Mingxuan!

Liu Qianhuan had never imagined that her father would appear before her at such a time. However, once he arrived, she already knew what his aim for coming here was.

In fact, both of them had the same aim in mind.

They were both here to seek revenge!

“Roar! Liu Mingxuan, who would’ve thought? As an esteemed sect leader, you actually dare to place yourself in perilous danger by entering the Spirit Realm?” A hint of fear and trepidation appeared on the Infernal Abyss Emperor’s face.

“Hahaha… isn’t this the perfect opportunity? He’s merely a sword immortal of the Dao Integration Intermediate Stage. Why should we be afraid of him? Both father and daughter are here now. Why don’t we dispose of them in one fell swoop?” The God Engulfing Skeleton’s aura billowed violently as a cruel and bloodthirsty smile stretched across its face.

As one of the most powerful individuals of the Void Spirit Tribe, the God Engulfing Skeleton naturally possessed the ability and right to look down upon Liu Mingxuan. In fact, it wouldn’t be afraid even if two Liu Mingxuans had come, let alone one!

Liu Mingxuan retrieved a pill from his storage ring. Once this pill appeared, a green divine light instantly surged through the void. All matter recovered, and the obliterated terrain was instantly filled with newly grown grass and flowers. A supremely rich divine fluctuation swept outward, astonishing all the beings who were present on this battlefield.

There was no mistaking it. This was undoubtedly an extremely valuable divine pill!

Liu Mingxuan shoved this divine pill into Liu Qianhuan’s mouth without any hesitation.

“I don’t— Mmph…” Liu Qianhuan wanted to refuse this divine pill, yet it was forcibly shoved into her mouth by Liu Mingxuan. A vast divine power and healing power swept through Liu Qianhuan’s body, healing her wounds at an extraordinary speed. At the same time, her strength was also being replenished at an astonishing rate.

“You shouldn’t have come here…” Liu Mingxuan sighed.

“Why can’t I come? If I can’t avenge mom’s death now, then perhaps I’ll never get another opportunity to!” Liu Qianhuan’s eyes became red as she screamed emotionally.

“I’ll avenge Qiu Hong’s death,” Liu Mingxuan said. “You, leave.”

Liu Qianhuan was momentarily dazed as she gazed at the lofty male before her.

“Trying to flee? None of you can leave!” The God Engulfing Skeleton swung its blood-red scythe as it lunged toward Liu Mingxuan.

Like a divine sword piercing through the sky, an astonishing sword intent erupted from Liu Mingxuan’s body. The earth within a fifty-kilometer radius was instantly pulverized by the devastating sword intent.

Liu Mingxuan swung his ancient sword—which was radiating with a blinding golden glow—toward the sky.

Countless bursts of golden sword intent soared into the sky. Like raging dragons, these bursts of sword intent cut the void that lay in their path into innumerable pieces of disjointed space. The spectacle that they created was magnificent and breathtaking, and the entire sky was illuminated by their dazzling golden color. Every burst of sword intent possessed the aura of the fundamental sword dao, and they could easily penetrate through the defenses of a Dao Integration Stage cultivator!

The God Engulfing Skeleton was about to shatter these bursts of sword intent with its blood-red scythe.

At this instant, however, Liu Mingxuan suddenly flipped his ancient sword. “Shift formation!”

Just a moment ago, the bursts of dazzling sword intent had all been raging with devastating killing intent. Upon Liu Mingxuan’s shout, however, all of them suddenly unleashed extremely powerful rays of sealing light. These rays of light transformed into countless golden shards, which instantly surrounded and enveloped the God Engulfing Skeleton.

“What?!” The God Engulfing Skeleton’s expression changed drastically. Meanwhile, its body also faltered momentarily as it was trapped by the countless net-like threads, which were spat out by the golden shards of light. The vast might of the sword dao crushed down like tens of thousands of lofty divine mountains, causing its bones to groan and creak under stress.

Liu Mingxuan turned toward Liu Qianhuan. “Why are you still standing there in a daze? Hurry up and escape!”

Liu Qianhuan crawled up from the ground. The power of the divine pill was still coursing through her body. Not only were her injuries almost fully healed, but even her strength had been fully replenished.

There was a complicated expression on her face as she looked at the male who was risking his life to protect her.

“I won’t leave… If I leave, you’ll also die…”

Liu Qianhuan slowly drew her sword. As she looked up toward the God Engulfing Skeleton who was trapped within the field of golden shards, she activated the full power of her Ancient Sword Dao Physique once again.

At this moment, a black figure dashed over from the distance. Countless tentacles transformed into a thick swarm of terrifying black divine weapons and ruthlessly slashed toward Liu Mingxuan.

“Liu Mingxuan, I’m going to kill you!” the Infernal Abyss Emperor chortled arrogantly. Liu Mingxuan—who was using all his powers to restrain the God Engulfing Skeleton—had no way of defending against an attack from another Dao Integration Stage super mighty being.

As the Infernal Abyss Emperor entered its striking range, a familiar chill suddenly enveloped its entire body.

All of the Infernal Abyss Emperor’s movement started to become slow and sluggish.

“How dare you! You actually didn’t escape?!” The Infernal Abyss Emperor had already suffered at the hands of Liu Qianhuan once. Thus, it now knew how to deal with her unusual powers. It instantly formed a high-density dark blade before its body, then slashed it down toward the space before itself.

Speed, density, and power… A harmonious combination of these three qualities was the key to defeating Liu Qianhuan’s sword dao domain!

A loud screech erupted from the pitch-black sword blade as it tore through the space that had been frozen by the extreme chill of Liu Qianhuan’s domain.

At this instant, the Great Ice Sword and the pitch-black sword blade collided together.

Boom!

The void tremored as a huge amount of energy exploded outward.

A violent and unrestrained sword intent pulverized the earth within a radius of a few dozen kilometers.

The Infernal Abyss Emperor was smashed back by this devastating sword intent, and a web of cracks and fractures ran through the pitch-black sword blade in its hand.

Liu Qianhuan calmly stabilized her body as she drifted backward gracefully. There was a dash of unnatural red on her pale cheeks. Perhaps it was due to the effects of the divine pill, but Liu Qianhuan didn’t pause to recover her strength before lunging toward the Infernal Abyss Emperor again!

The Infernal Abyss Emperor was furious. However, all it could do was hold in its anger and hastily defend against Liu Qianhuan’s relentless attacks. It realized that the energy coursing through Liu Qianhuan’s body had seemingly become boundless after she took the pill. More surprisingly, her combat capability had vaguely climbed to a level that surpassed it!

“Sh*t! I’m actually being suppressed by a Return to Void Stage sword cultivator?!” The Infernal Abyss Emperor was feeling extremely frustrated.

“Not only am I going to suppress you, but I’m also going to kill you!” Waves of killing intent radiated from Liu Qianhuan’s body as she bore down toward the Infernal Abyss Emperor.

Right now, the division of labor was especially clear. Liu Mingxuan was responsible for keeping the God Engulfing Skeleton at bay, and Liu Qianhuan was responsible for killing the Infernal Abyss Emperor! If all of this was left to Liu Mingxuan alone, then it was very possible that he would be unable to exact revenge. Not only that, but it was also very likely that he would lose his life here. This was also the reason why Liu Qianhuan chose to stay!

Liu Mingxuan was left in a vague trance when he saw that Liu Qianhuan could actually suppress the Infernal Abyss Emperor.

One hundred years had flashed by, and he had never realized that his daughter had already grown to such a level…

In fact, a period of one hundred years couldn’t be considered a long time in the eyes of Dao Integration Stage cultivators. Moreover, the fact that Liu Qianhuan was able to reach such a level in one hundred years was already far, far beyond Liu Mingxuan’s expectations.

An earsplitting explosion ripped through the sky.

A dark red power annihilated the golden shards that were surrounding the God Engulfing Skeleton.

The God Engulfing Skeleton appeared in the sky again. “Liu Mingxuan, since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your death wish!”

As it tossed its divine scythe toward the sky, a power of death instantly started billowing into the surroundings. At the same time, the sky was dyed blood-red. Two dark-red streams that stretched for as far as the eye could see overlapped to form a cross.

The intersection of the cross was located exactly where Liu Mingxuan stood.

As Liu Mingxuan looked up from the ground, he could see that there were countless beings wailing in anguish and experiencing death within the dark-red stream. The torrential sea of death aura and killing intent was thick enough to strip all living beings of their life forces before corroding and swallowing them.

Within a radius of five hundred kilometers, all living beings became deathly still as their life forces were sucked from them. Countless plants wilted and died, and some even crumbled into deathly grey dust. This was all due to the two dark-red streams in the sky.

“I’ll destroy you with this strike,” the God Engulfing Skeleton said indifferently. It extended its skeletal hand and pressed downward. “Star Engulfing Heavenly River of Death!”
