With Luo Ying's last word, she flew into the air, her graceful figure leaving a trail of dazzling afterimages in the void.

In her hands, the Dragon Drill instantly transformed into a longsword, which she brought down directly on An Shanhai! Each of her strikes was a lethal killing blow!

Facing such a ferocious and violent Luo Ying, An Shanhai dared not be careless. After blocking several of her sword strikes in succession, he quickly created distance and shouted, "Maintain the Sword Array and slay Kuang Pi!"

"Second Junior Brother, you're in charge of commanding the Sword Array."

"Third and Fourth Junior Brothers, you're responsible for preventing these Lower Realm Mortals from causing trouble!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

After issuing his orders, An Shanhai's sword momentum suddenly exploded. With a loud cry that shook the heavens, his body transformed into a streak of light and shot straight into the sky.

"Lower Realm wench, do you dare to come up and fight?!"

With a soft snort, Luo Ying gave chase.

High above, sword qi painted rainbows that spanned the sky dome! A great battle was on the verge of erupting!

「Meanwhile」

Trapped within the Sword Array, Kuang Pi also saw Luo Xiu. Though his appearance had changed, his aura was very familiar.

Moved by his brother's arrival and with his fighting spirit soaring, Kuang Pi roared and slammed against the Sword Array with his Wild Thunder.

"Hahahaha, I, the Mountain Sea Fierce Bear, have fought alone all my life! I never thought I'd have a brother come to my aid!"

"With my brother by my side, what do I have to fear from a thousand enemies?"

"You bunch of Upper Realm fodder! You want to kill me? Come on, then!"

Luo Xiu, standing atop the Pig Dragon's head, did not rush to help immediately. He knew that with the strength he could currently muster, going over would be more of a hindrance than a help.

He surveyed the entire scene and suddenly opened a spatial gateway with his left eye, summoning Hua Muyan.

"What does my master require?"

"Give me one of your clones," Luo Xiu said.

Hua Muyan was curious as to why Luo Xiu wanted her Flower Demon Clone, but she dared not disobey.

With a light wave of her jade-like hand, her body twirled like a dancing fairy. As a light mist swirled around, a thicket of flower vines promptly sprouted on the Pig Dragon's broad head.

"Ouch, my head itches! Am I growing hair?" the Pig Dragon cried out in surprise, hastily trying to scratch its head with its claws, but they were too short to reach.

Nearby, Tian Bang, also known as Big Mouth, exclaimed with his python-like maw agape, "Boss, your head has gone green!"

"It's green! It's green!"

The Pig Dragon retorted angrily, "It's your head that's gone green! Can't you talk properly? Have some class, will you?"

Tian Bang fell silent.

Amid the thicket, flowers bloomed in abundance, filling the air with their fragrance. A giant bud, about two meters tall, suddenly sprouted. As it blossomed, it revealed a figure identical to Hua Muyan.

It was her Flower Demon Clone!

While Hua Muyan was still wondering what Luo Xiu intended to do with her clone, she saw him grab its neck. At the same time, his left eye flickered with an eerie glow. Bizarre dust, seemingly conjured from nothingness, gathered from all directions, enveloping the clone completely.

Standing on the back of the giant river hippo, Dou Dou swung her little fists. "Awesome! That's Chen Shuisheng's Elysian Nether Earth!"

Luo Xiu was indeed using Hua Muyan's clone as a sacrifice to cast the Elysian Nether Earth. The Holy Boi Religion Cultists he had imprisoned in the Land of Lawlessness had long since been used up.

At the same time, in the empty space ahead, the two disciples of the Swordfire Divine Sect glanced at each other. A sense of foreboding suddenly washed over them, and they no longer dared to wait. Choosing to take the initiative, they flew toward Luo Xiu, their swords ready to strike!

"Lower Realm Mortal, take this!"

Dou Dou and Yaya shot forward to intercept them.

"You won't hurt Chen Shuisheng if Dou Dou has anything to say about it!"

"This young miss won't let you succeed!"

Both girls were fierce, their auras astonishing, but their opponents were Half-step Earth Immortals. The moment they clashed, the two girls were sent flying with cries of pain.

The next moment, a storm of petals whirled through the air. Hua Muyan gently trod upon the petals as she flew forward, her white fist striking out toward the void.

"Hundred Flowers Confusion, Charging Kill Fist!"

Naturally, she would have been delighted to see these people kill Luo Xiu. However, he had placed a Divine Consciousness Forbidden on her. If he died, her soul would immediately dissipate. Therefore, she had no choice but to intervene and protect him.

"A mere Flower Demon dares to block my path? Watch my sword fire burn you to ashes!"

As a Half-step Earth Immortal herself, Hua Muyan was no weaker than either of them in a one-on-one fight. However, she had yet to recover from the injuries she sustained during the battle at Danlong Ancient Mountain. Furthermore, being planted by Luo Xiu in a place like the Land of Lawlessness made recuperation extremely difficult.

As a result, she could only exert half her strength and was no match for the two Divine Sect Disciples. In a single exchange, she was sent flying by a disciple's sword slash, vomiting blood as she plummeted toward the ground.

But before she hit the ground, she landed in a broad embrace. Her beautiful eyes fluttered open to find it was Luo Xiu.

Holding her, Luo Xiu floated down lightly onto the Pig Dragon's head. "Thanks for buying time," he said. "Leave the rest to me."

Hua Muyan hastily struggled out of his arms, her cheeks flushed. She moved several steps aside, putting distance between them. She then noticed that the Flower Demon Clone she had created earlier had transformed into a man—it was the very same Lu Songtao from before!

At this moment, Lu Songtao, fearless of death, was throwing his life on the line to stop the two Divine Sect Disciples.

"Junior Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you helping these Lower Realm Mortals?!"

"Is that Flower Demon your lover?"

Lu Songtao's face was a mask of bitterness. "Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, I don't know what's going on, either! Before, I was..."

"That's right! It was that Lower Realm Mortal! He resurrected me!"

"Senior Brothers, I can't defy his will now! Be careful not to let me hurt you!"

The two Divine Sect Disciples whirled to face Luo Xiu, their eyes filled with hatred.

"Lower Realm Mortal, to use such filthy and despicable methods!"

Luo Xiu gave a faint, mocking smile. "My methods may be filthy, but some scum from the Upper Realm come down to bully the weak, to burn, pillage, and plunder, yet they act so high and mighty about it."

"Die!"

BOOM—!

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, Lu Songtao detonated his Dantian.

A deafening explosion rocked the entire Thunder Swamp. The violent shockwave kicked up a furious gale, instantly engulfing the two Divine Sect Disciples while also dispersing the Sword Array that had trapped Kuang Pi.

By then, Luo Xiu had already retreated a considerable distance. He sat atop the Pig Dragon's head with his legs crossed, admiring the massive crater below.

As the smoke and dust cleared, countless motes of the Dark Land converged from all directions above the crater, once again shaping Lu Songtao's Body of the Dark Land.

Dou Dou waved her little fists. "Chen Shuisheng, that Infinite Self-Detonation of yours is just wicked cool!"

The Pig Dragon covered its enormous, unhideable mouth with its short crocodile forelimbs and exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, Big Brother, that move of yours... it's just invincible!"

"They're not all dead yet!" Yaya said. "Do it again! Blow them up for this young miss!"

Luo Xiu shook his head. "There's no need."

At that moment, Kuang Pi was on a rampage inside the crater. With the Sword Array that had contained him shattered, he was no longer under threat. The Divine Sect Disciples were like paper in his claws, easily torn apart.

Luo Xiu looked up at the sky, a trace of worry in his eyes. High above, sword lights flashed like lightning within the churning clouds, a truly spectacular sight.

I wonder how Ying'er is doing.

He abruptly recalled Lu Songtao and ordered, "Go up there and help. Blow up your Senior Brother."

Upon hearing this, Lu Songtao gritted his teeth. "Lower Realm Mortal, you actually—"

SLAP!

Before he could finish his sentence, he slapped his own face.

"All you can say is 'Lower Realm Mortal,' yet you pieces of Upper Realm trash are only fit to be enslaved by me," Luo Xiu said coolly. "Cut the crap and get going!"
