347: Xuan Lei made a move

"Fifth Brother!"

The guard controlling the Thunder Orbs had eyes splitting with rage. Ignoring everything else, he urged the remaining Thunder Orbs forward, simultaneously forming hand Seals to draw upon the Evil Qi in the cave, condensing several ferocious giant pythons of Evil Qi that lunged toward Feng Linger.

Feng Linger's pretty face turned slightly cold as her fingertips rapidly swept across the zither strings.

"Seven Strings Startle the Soul!"

A rapid, rain-like zither sound exploded, and invisible sound blades tore through the air, precisely slicing toward the heads of the lunging Evil Qi pythons.

Simultaneously, her figure fluttered like a willow catkin in the wind, moving evasively within the cramped space, narrowly avoiding the Evil Qi's bites every time.

Di Jingzhe dealt with the guard wielding the axe, his movement unwavering. He transformed into a streak of purple lightning and rushed directly toward the guard controlling the Thunder Orbs.

He held his fingers together like a sword, and three feet of Zixiao Divine Thunder light spewed from his fingertips, emitting a piercing, buzzing sword cry!

Where the sword light passed, the residual Evil Qi was easily pierced through.

That guard's Soul was terrified. He desperately recalled the Thunder Orbs to protect himself while crushing a jade talisman.

A thick, crimson thunder light shield instantly sprang open.

"Tear!"

The crimson thunder light shield only held for a moment before being pierced!

The thunder sword's momentum unabated, instantly piercing through the guard's chest!

The destructive power of the Zixiao Divine Thunder erupted. Before the guard could even scream, a scorched black hole appeared through his chest, instantly severing his life force.

In the blink of an eye, two guards of the Heaven-Reaching Realm Tenth Level perished!

Elder Mo, who had been watching coldly, finally showed a trace of solemnity on his withered face, which was immediately replaced by icy killing intent.

"Good! Very good! I underestimated you two insects! Forcing this Elder to personally act, you... can die without regret!"

He slowly raised the hands he had kept tucked in his sleeves. His withered, chicken-claw-like fingers were entwined with viscous, liquid-like deep purple Evil Qi.

As his hands formed Seals, the entire Evil Qi Cave seemed to come alive!

Rumble!

The pulsating purple crystals on the cave walls and ceiling suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. Countless massive pillars of thunder and Evil Qi, filled with filth and destructive aura, shot madly toward Di Jingzhe and Feng Linger from all directions!

Each pillar of light contained terrifying power sufficient to severely injure a Peak Heaven-Reaching Realm expert, and it carried a sinister Evil Qi that corroded the Divine Soul!

Law Domain—Absolute Domain of Evil Qi!

"Sister Linger!" Di Jingzhe's pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted fiercely, his internal thunder yuan erupting wildly.

"Thunder Shield!" A deep purple thunder shield formed from pure Zixiao Divine Thunder instantly spread above their heads.

Feng Linger's fingers flew, and her ancient zither erupted with booming sounds rapid as war drums.

"Heavenly Sound Barrier!"

Layers upon layers of pale cyan sound wave barriers stacked upon the thunder shield.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dense, drumbeat-like terrifying bombardment descended instantly!

The Purple Firmament Thunder Shield trembled violently, emitting a painful groan, its light dimming at a visible rate.

The sound wave barriers stacked on top were like fragile glass, shattering and disintegrating layer by layer!

The destructive impact force pierced through the defenses and slammed violently into the two of them!

"Pfft!"

Di Jingzhe felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood that dyed his chest clothes red.

He felt his internal organs had shifted, his bones groaned under the unbearable weight, and the thunder yuan in his Dantian violently vibrated, almost scattering!

The deep purple Evil Qi clung to him like maggots on a bone, frantically corroding his protective thunder light and Meridians, bringing Soul-tearing pain.

Feng Linger also let out a muffled groan, her delicate body shook violently, and a trace of crimson overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

She forcefully suppressed the surging Qi and blood, but her zither music inevitably showed a hint of disorder.

The absolute suppression of the Law Realm was like an invisible, ancient divine mountain, pressing down on their hearts, suffocating them.

They had been careless; they never expected a Law Realm expert, and one at the Law Realm Tenth Level no less, was guarding this place!

"Hmph, an ant trying to shake a tree!"

Elder Mo floated in mid-air, his withered face filled with the cruel delight of a cat playing with a mouse.

"It is your honor to die by my hand!"

The shadow of death was clearer than ever before!

Di Jingzhe's eyes split with rage.

At this critical juncture, an ancient voice filled with Supreme majesty and thunderous wrath exploded directly in Di Jingzhe's deep Soul, like thunder from the highest heavens:

"Jingzhe, open your mind!"

Di Jingzhe did not hesitate in the slightest, instantly giving up all control over his body, completely opening his mind!

Buzz—!

A Supreme will of vast and ancient thunder Origin instantly descended!

Inside Di Jingzhe's Dantian, the dormant Profound Thunder Spirit Seed erupted with indescribably brilliant purple light!

This purple light was pure and tyrannical, carrying the Supreme majesty that purifies all evils!

"Ugh..." Di Jingzhe's body suddenly stiffened. The look of his own Divine Soul in his eyes instantly faded, replaced by a indifference and coldness that had seen through the vicissitudes of eternity and regarded all living beings as ants.

An indescribably terrifying pressure, as if a slumbering Primordial Thunder God had awakened, burst forth centered on him!

Crackling!

The Absolute Domain of Evil Qi summoned by Elder Mo, the Law Domain potent enough to trap and kill those at the Peak of the Heaven-Reaching Realm, shattered and collapsed inch by inch like a fragile glazed mirror the moment this pressure descended!

"What?!" The sinister grin on Elder Mo's face instantly froze, turning into boundless horror and disbelief!

He felt his Law power was as insignificant as dust before this pressure!

'Di Jingzhe' slowly raised his head, his indifferent purple eyes sweeping over.

Where his gaze fell, space froze and twisted.

He did not speak, merely raised his right hand lightly, pointed his fingers, and gently tapped in Elder Mo's direction.

The movement was effortless, like brushing away a speck of dust.

However, as this finger pointed out—

Time within the entire Evil Qi Cave seemed to halt!

The violent Thunder Evil, the burning Nether Fire, the shattering crystal fragments... everything froze in mid-air.

Only the tip of that finger, a point of purple lightning of ultimate depth and purity, quietly lit up.

A faint, indescribably deep purple ray of light, like the first ray piercing eternal darkness, silently pierced the solidified space, instantly crossing the distance between the two.

The horror on Elder Mo's face was completely fixed.

The protective spiritual light of the Law Realm he prided himself on, the thick Thunder Evil barrier condensed around him, his thousand-times tempered formidable Physical Body... all were as fragile as non-existent before this deep purple ray of light.

"Chi."

A soft sound.

A minuscule, almost imperceptible hole appeared on Elder Mo's brow. No blood flowed out, only a faint trace of purple lightning flickered at the edge of the hole before immediately vanishing.

Time resumed its flow.

The expression on Elder Mo's face instantly turned blank, followed by complete stillness.

His withered body swayed, as if all his bones had been pulled out, and he softly collapsed onto the ground.

The scorch mark on his brow was the only mark of his life extinguishing.

A powerhouse of the Law Realm Tenth Level was less than dust before the will of a true Supreme!

The entire Evil Qi Cave was deathly silent.

The remaining Zhou Family guards were already so terrified their Souls had flown away and spirits scattered, collapsing on the ground, having lost the strength to even flee.

'Di Jingzhe's' gaze indifferently swept over the figures of the prisoners who were trapped deep within the crystal on the cave wall, whose sealing runes had loosened due to Elder Mo's death, and who were now struggling violently.

He said nothing, merely waved his sleeve casually.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dozens of purple lightning bolts accurately struck the crystals imprisoning the prisoners.

The incomparably sturdy crystals shattered upon impact!

Figures—some old, some fierce, some weak, but all radiating surging hatred and the wild joy of surviving a calamity—broke free from the shattered crystal Seals!

There were more than twenty people in total, all possessing the aura of the Law Realm!

Although most of their auras were weak and their cultivation sealed for many years, the convergence of their fierce Qi caused the temperature of the entire cave to plummet.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for saving our lives!"

A disheveled old man, whose aura was the fiercest, broke free from restraint and bowed deeply toward 'Di Jingzhe', his voice hoarse yet full of power.

The others also reacted, the excitement of surviving the disaster intertwining with awe for the terrifying existence, and they all bowed together.
