"Is it really that powerful?" Wang Xiaoqiang found it unbelievable. He was now in the Solidification Realm and had taken a significant step toward the "First Transformation of the Immortal," whereas the Penglai Immortal was only at the Cultivation of the Transformation Stage. Even if the Immortal Sword was formidable, surely it couldn't kill across two levels!

"It is said that the Penglai Immortal Sword appeared once five hundred years ago, causing a bloodbath throughout the Cultivation Realm..." True Person of Taiyi said with a face full of awe, "This Penglai Immortal Sword is akin to an atomic bomb—dormant until it brings disaster!"

Seeing how seriously True Person of Taiyi spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart also tightened, and he said, "Then, True Person, if the Penglai Immortal actually wields the Penglai Immortal Sword, how should we respond..."

"One word, flee! Two words, hide! Three words, conceal!" True Person of Taiyi said, then sighed helplessly and shook his head. "In fact, over the years, the Penglai Immortal Sect has consistently bullied our Taiyi Sect, and I have endured it in silence, all because of the fear of that Penglai Immortal Sword..."

"Can we avoid this temporarily but forever?" Wang Xiaoqiang murmured.

"Little Qiang, don't forget, on the night of the full moon next month, the Immortal Realm Envoy will set up a Teleportation Array. Once we pass through the Teleportation Array into the Immortal Realm, we will no longer have to fear the threat of the Penglai Immortal Sword..."

"Hmm, then let's avoid it for now..." Wang Xiaoqiang, who understood the wisdom of not confronting stronger opponents head-on, decisively agreed.

"Alright, Little Qiang, we can then hide back inside Taiyi Sect. Taiyi Sect has the Sealed Sect Great Formation for protection. I doubt the Penglai Immortal Sword can break through it..." True Person of Taiyi said.

At this moment, Yans Ruxue interjected, "True Person is right, the Penglai Immortal Sword definitely can't break the Sealed Sect Great Formation. Even if it could, the Penglai Immortal wouldn't dare. After all, the Sealed Sect Great Formation was positioned by the Immortal Realm Envoy. Anyone who breaks the formation would be slapping the face of the Immortal Realm Envoy and would be executed by the powers of the Immortal Realm..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Alright then, I'll return to Taiyi Sect with you all."

Thus, True Person of Taiyi gathered all the members of Taiyi Sect at one place, and then led them, flying westward, heading back home.

But just as they had lifted into the sky, they heard a strange, piercing sound from the northwest. Accompanied by that sound, a beam of bright light soared into the sky...

"Not good, the Penglai Immortal Sword has appeared!" True Person of Taiyi exclaimed in alarm, "We must flee quickly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of horror. Even the two girls from the Yans Family felt uneasy, clearly sensing the power of the Penglai Immortal Sword.

The group immediately sped up their flight. However, the strange piercing sounds grew closer and the sky-piercing bright light grew brighter...

It clung to their backs like a thorn in the bone.

"You all go ahead, I'll hold it off!" Seeing the threat drawing nearer, and to avoid massive casualties, Wang Xiaoqiang said decisively.

"Little Qiang, no!" True Person of Taiyi shouted in warning.

"It's okay, I will deal with this Penglai Immortal Sword!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, then turned around and flew back toward the strange cries and the bright light.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang return without hesitation, worry and gratitude showed on everyone's faces.

Wang Xiaoqiang was ready to sacrifice himself to ensure everyone's safety!

As Wang Xiaoqiang turned back, he soon identified the source of the strange cries and saw clearly the sky-piercing bright light...

That sound and light emanated from an Immortal Sword.

The Immortal Sword was held by the Penglai Immortal.

The Penglai Immortal held the sword, which emitted a light as quick as electricity, casting his face in a somewhat ferocious light. Moreover, the Immortal Sword emitted a monstrous wailing sound, sounding quite terrifying.

The Penglai Immortal, sword in hand, now had an aura more than twice as powerful as before. His face showed formidable evilness and murderous intent!

Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang and the Penglai Immortal met in the air!

"Penglai, old fool, is that the Penglai Immortal Sword in your hand?" Wang Xiaoqiang stood on two Spirit Springs, his arms crossed, looking at the Penglai Immortal, and asked with a cold laugh.

"Hmph! Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing the Penglai Immortal Sword before you die is a worthy end to your life!" the Penglai Immortal scoffed disdainfully.

"Are you so certain you can kill me?" Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze fixed on the Penglai Immortal Sword in the Penglai Immortal's hand.

That white light enveloped the Immortal Sword, which looked quite ancient, neither stone nor jade, appearing ordinary, yet it emitted an unrivaled fierce and malevolent aura. Within the white light, a flicker of bloody light was vaguely visible, suggesting the sword had not spared many lives.

"Let me tell you the truth—the Penglai Immortal Sword is a peerless fierce sword, its fierceness unmatched in the world, and no cultivator below the Immortal Realm can survive against it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart sank. He was still far from the First Transformation of the Immortal. How could he withstand this sword? Was this the time to turn tail?

As Wang Xiaoqiang fretted, the Penglai Immortal suddenly laughed sinisterly and said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, for years you have secretly stolen Demon Crystals, violating the moral code, and killed countless lives from my Penglai Immortal Sect. I will never forgive you today..."

The Penglai Immortal paused suddenly, then shifted his tone, "However, if you hand over all the stolen Demon Crystals and cripple your own cultivation, I might spare your life..."

"Penglai, you old rogue, let me lay it out for you," Wang Xiaoqiang said solemnly. "Those demon crystals were indeed stolen by me. However, they have already been absorbed and converted into my cultivation base, so stop dreaming about them. If you dare, just come and try to kill me..."

"Fine, you have the guts to own up to it, which makes you quite the hero. Today, I shall send you to the Western Heaven. Take this!" As Penglai Immortal's expression transformed, he gripped the Penglai Immortal Sword with both hands and swung it towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

The Penglai Immortal Sword suddenly flashed brightly, releasing a massive sword light over ten meters tall, rushing toward Wang Xiaoqiang like a tsunami.

Wang Xiaoqiang pulled his right hand back, his body swiftly darting to the right, narrowly escaping the lethal strike. The mere momentum of that strike made it hard for him to breathe, hinting at the sword's formidable power.

"Wang Xiaoqiang, now you realize the might of the Penglai Immortal Sword, huh? Humph, that was just a light test of its power. The real force is yet to come..." the Penglai Immortal said with a proud smirk.

"Come at me if you dare!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, inadvertently glancing below. His plan was to test the true strength of the Penglai Immortal Sword. If he couldn't withstand it, he would escape to the mortal world below. As long as he released all the Spirit Spring within him and hid among the masses, not even an Immortal could locate him.

"Fine, watch out!"

A sinister smile crossed the face of the Penglai Immortal. With a crush of his sword light, it soared incredibly high, reaching a hundred meters, while emitting an eerie whistling.

The Penglai Immortal raised his sword with both hands and slashed down at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Boom!

The sword light cascaded down like an avalanche towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing that there was no escape, Wang Xiaoqiang's will acted, and 1000 Spirit Springs floated out from his body, solidifying into a screen-like Spirit Spring Barrier in front of him.

Boom!

When the sword light struck the Spirit Spring Barrier, it erupted like a mountain collapsing, the sharp sword light ultimately failing to break through. The robust Sword Qi did not topple the Spirit Spring Barrier, but it pushed the barrier back.

Consequently, Wang Xiaoqiang's body was also thrust backwards.

Luckily, protected by the Spirit Spring Barrier, Wang Xiaoqiang sustained no injuries from the sword light.

The Penglai Immortal snorted coldly, withdrawing the sword light, and the mountain-like sword light, like a giant whale absorbing water, retracted back into the sword body, revealing its ancient form once more.

However, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang had not been injured by that strike, the Penglai Immortal's face showed a look of surprise, inwardly shocked. That attack had unleashed five layers of power from the Penglai Immortal Sword, yet it still hadn't harmed Wang Xiaoqiang. It seemed that this Wang Xiaoqiang was truly formidable!

"You old rogue, your Penglai Immortal Sword is just so-so. Since it can't kill me, you might as well smash it and sell it as scrap metal. Iron prices are quite high right now... Haha!" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed heartily, showing a rascally demeanor. Simultaneously, with a thought, the Spirit Spring Barrier dispersed with a bang, returning to 1000 Spirit Springs that re-entered his body.

Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, the Penglai Immortal's blood boiled with disorder. He knew that in a duel, it was crucial to keep one's composure, otherwise one would fall into chaos and self-destruct.

It took him great effort to calm his emotions. Without saying more, he gathered all his strength and also brought the power of the Penglai Immortal Sword to eight layers.

Suddenly, the Penglai Immortal Sword emitted sword light reaching up to a thousand meters, and within that light, indistinct bloody glows appeared, exuding unparalleled evil Qi, with an air of unparalleled savageness.

Wang Xiaoqiang, sensing the malevolent Qi of the sword, immediately called out 2000 Spirit Springs, forming them into a Spirit Spring Barrier in front of him.

"Boy, go to hell!"

The Penglai Immortal bellowed angrily, and with a slash of his Immortal Sword, a massive burst of light poured down like a collapsing peak, thunderously pressing down.

Boom!... Boom!...

The sound of a volcanic eruption echoed as the sword light struck the Spirit Spring Barrier, still failing to break through, only smashing the Spirit Spring Barrier downward.

Along with it fell Wang Xiaoqiang.

Hidden under the Spirit Spring Barrier, Wang Xiaoqiang was unharmed, but the immense pressure caused a surge of blood and inner turmoil, leaving him unable to catch his breath for a long time.

After retracting the sword light, the Penglai Immortal looked down to find Wang Xiaoqiang, assuming that this strike would have definitely crushed him to bits, but unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang rose again from below.

A twitch in the corner of the Penglai Immortal's eye sank his heart as he thought, this Wang Xiaoqiang really is indestructible!

"Penglai you old rogue, as I said, your broken sword really can't kill me. It's only good for selling as scrap metal. Now it seems you don't even have the chance to sell it..." Wang Xiaoqiang spoke while grabbing into the air with his right hand. Suddenly, the Holy Flame Sword appeared in his hand, blazing brilliantly, unparalleled in this world.

"With just your Holy Flame Sword, you think you can kill me? Pah! Dream on!" the Penglai Immortal scornfully said.

"If you can't kill me, then I certainly can kill you. Don't say it's the Holy Flame Sword; with a flick of my fingers, I can annihilate you... Hmph!" Wang Xiaoqiang also displayed scorn and disdain towards Penglai.

"Fine, let's see whether it's you who kills me or I kill you!" said the Penglai Immortal, his eyes exploding with anger, his Spirit Power surging, while the power of the Penglai Immortal Sword also reached its extreme, instantly emitting dazzling sword light in all directions, with mountain-like sword Qi everywhere. Deep within the sword light, bloody glows flickered, with lingering spirits and specters and cries of ghosts like the wail of souls at night, chilling to the heart and filling the air with a surge of murderous Qi...(To be continued.
