Looking at the location of the inn that burst into bright light, Lan, who was also stretching her head out of the window, quickly said to the red-clothed woman watching alongside, "It seems to be the location of the inn where Wei Mo and his group are staying."

The red-clothed woman remained expressionless, saying nothing.

Lan immediately put on a fake mask on her face, swiftly flicking her body and flying over, followed instantly by several shadows.

The ocean's dawn grew brighter.

As Li Hongjiu treaded the waves and muttered something strange, Shi Chun couldn't understand, but he noticed something peculiar; in his right eye superpower, Li Hongjiu was glowing.

It didn't seem like glowing, more like arcs of light similar to electricity were shooting out in all directions.

Where the arcs reached, there was something akin to the immobilization material in an immobilization charm; it triggered the background color in the right eye world, like a layer of hazy mist covering the sea.

The speed of the radiating arcs was extremely fast, and in an instant, the light reached far distances, seemingly covering the sea as far as the eye could see, unsure of how far it really extended.

But in the reality world of the left eye, the vast ocean still surged with powerful waves, as if attempting to overturn the world.

Meanwhile, a demon cultivator who arrived first swung a silver axe, which suddenly grew as large as a mountain mid-air, shining brilliantly with silver rays, strong and fierce, a movement that surpassed the roar of a tsunami, crashing towards Li Hongjiu as if the sky was collapsing.

Sure enough, it was an all-out killing move from the start!

Wasn't Li Hongjiu very skilled at borrowing force? That guy with the Black Flag was very good at capturing things, wasn't he?

Clearly giving you a big challenge, using force to suppress, let's see how you borrow force this time.

Giving you a mountain, let's see how your Black Flag can handle it.

The demon cultivators rushing in from behind observed and felt it was only to be expected.

The East Victory Army pursuing at the same time couldn't help but be amazed, wondering what these demon cultivators intended, giving Li Hongjiu no chance to live!

A killing move from the start; if one move failed, the second move would thoroughly drive the person to death.

Even the blind could see, this was clearly aimed at killing Li Hongjiu.

Perhaps aware of Li Hongjiu's capabilities, High Martial already possessing the strength to oppose someone of the Earth Immortal Realm, hence sending Heavenly Immortal Realm experts to pursue and kill.

The reason they dispatched Heavenly Immortal Realm experts was also due to knowing the "Charioteer" had Li Hongjiu with such abilities.

The problem is, you're out to kill Li Hongjiu, but with this powerful move, there's no way Shi Chun beside him could escape, guaranteed to die alongside.

Their task was to capture Shi Chun, not bring back a body even short of a complete corpse.

The big move had already been unleashed, by the time they reacted and wanted to stop it, it was already too late.

It was late because they didn't act recklessly like those demon cultivators; when the square-faced leader was injured, they took a moment to check the leader's condition, causing a slight delay, leading to this situation.

They didn't expect this outcome; these demon cultivators were truly relentless, willing to indiscriminately kill to achieve their goals, without regard for any consequences, so unscrupulous!

They could only stand there, mouths agape in shock, unable to intervene.

Among the squad of airborne demon cultivators, the leader, an old man with white hair reaching his waist, dressed in a shiny deep blue robe, gazed blankly downward, seeming to wait for this tumultuous process to conclude.

Before the reflection, Wei Mo's face was grave, clenching his fists tightly, unwilling yet forced to face reality and accept the failure of the mission.

Young Master Nan also had his mouth wide open, with a look of shock yet no sound, the so-called silent scream was just that.

It's over. He knew Shi Chun was completely finished this time; the top figure of the Sky Rain Meteor Conference, the champion of the Divine Fire Covenant, all ending at this moment.

Brief and fleeting brilliance, truly like a meteor, just a short-lived splash in the endless river of the Cultivation World.

He slumped heavily into his chair, weighed down by guilt.

Almost simultaneously as he slumped, bang, the door seemed to be kicked open.

The people inside turned to look, only to see a woman with a fake mask suddenly burst in with a couple of others.

Wei Mo and the others just glanced over, realizing something had happened to the guards outside, or else these people couldn't have burst in without any warning.

It was expected, considering the earlier flash was too conspicuous.

They knew people might be drawn, as someone had come to inquire after the earlier commotion, only to be dismissed by the guards.

They wanted to move, but the reflective scene had reached a critical moment, making it hard to pack up and leave.

Even at this moment, they only gave a look at those who burst in, quickly returning their gaze to the scene in the reflection.

They were calm without panic because of their background and confidence, this small matter, with powerful backing, had enough capability to communicate; right now, what they cared more about was Shi Chun's fate, needing to see the result firsthand to deliver a definite report to the higher-ups.

The woman with the fake mask coming in was no one else but Lan.

Once inside, her gaze swept across the room, immediately drawn to the reflective scene.

Heavenly Mirror? As she was stunned, her eyes widened, recognizing the troops she dispatched in the reflection and seeing the critical moment completing the task given by the Lady, to take down Li Hongjiu.

She didn't rush to control those in the room, due to her own background and confidence as well.

Inside the room, a strange scene unfolded, as both the guests and the intruders stood silently, staring at the mirrored image.

Shi Chun, who was present at the scene, naturally bore the greatest pressure. He nervously swapped through a pile of Magical Treasures in his hands, with none capable of withstanding the impending attack, and his heart was filled with despair.

Regret overwhelmed him. This time, he truly regretted it. Had he known, he would have honestly lived as a normal monk, rather than striving for a short-lived existence.

For a moment, images flashed in his mind, starting with Wu Jinliang. Helplessly, he realized he hadn't even had a chance to bid farewell to Wu Jinliang.

Then, the appearance of that woman crossed his mind, which even he found odd.

He stood on the surge with the Black Flag, looking up at the overwhelming attack coming his way; even before its arrival, a powerful oppressive prelude had already subdued him, leaving him powerless to break free with his cultivation.

The difference in cultivation was simply too vast, leaving him utterly powerless, akin to an ant.

Swish—a sword was drawn to the sky by the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect standing protectively behind him, pointing towards the Mountain-like Silver Axe with a majestic aura challenging the heavens.

This was not Shi Chun's intent but rather an instinctive, independent action by the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect.

On the brink of succumbing to the oppressive prelude's power, Shi Chun's eyes suddenly moved slightly, discovering that in his Right Eye Superpower's vision, the hazy mist covering the sea had suddenly transformed with Li Hongjiu's movement. It instantaneously became like a frozen layer on the sea, then like an expansive, boundless Ice Field, instantly relieving the pressure on him.

However, in the normal vision of his left eye, nothing unusual was seen on the turbulent sea.

No, the turbulent sea itself had undergone a change.

The sea, with its countless rising and falling waves, now saw only the falling tides and not the rising.

Countless waves fell, and numerous waves poised to rise seemed suppressed at this moment by an unseen force. The vast sea was devoid of cresting waves, and all peaks visible suddenly turned into flattened tops.

The countless pits of falling waves and the endless series of flattened waves transformed what had just been a raging sea into a peculiar sight.

The sound of the endless waves naturally altered as well.

Then the "ice layer" sealed on the sea surface began to arch upwards, as if something was trying to emerge from it, centered around Li Hongjiu.

Upon closer inspection, it's not something trying to break out, but rather a pushing force formed by the stacking of "ice layers" from all directions.

Li Hongjiu, with swords at his sides, still floated as if celestial, facing the overwhelming attack of Po Huang with clear bright eyes, showing no panic, instead, with a calm arrogance. One hand behind his back, the other hand making a sign towards the sky, accompanied by a voice filled with a hint of alcohol saying, "Break!"

The peaks erupting from the "ice layer" immediately exploded entirely in the direction he pointed, charging towards the Mountain-like Silver Axe.

Boom!

A sound as if it resounded through the world suddenly exploded out.

At the instant the Mountain-like Silver Axe trembled violently, the surrounding void seemed to distort.

The brilliant silver light extinguished like a lamp, instantly dimming, suddenly shrinking, appearing to be battered back to its original form, and accompanied by cracks.

As the Silver Axe rapidly shrank, it also flew back into the sky.

It was blasted away with a single strike.

And the demon cultivator of Heavenly Immortal Realm controlling this treasure was powerless to retrieve it, his cultivation-empowered treasure's might destroyed altogether.

Not only was the treasure knocked away, but he also suffered backlash, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

Facing the aftermath of the attack breaking the sky, he pushed out his bloody palms desperately to withstand the intense force from below.

Seeing something amiss, his companions did not sit idly by; the white-haired elder was the first to flash over, and the group swiftly came to provide assistance with spells.

A group of people joined forces, successfully mitigating the aftermath from below.

Yet, it was enough to leave them feeling unsettled, realizing that they might have underestimated Li Hongjiu's strength.

The aftermath of the fight shattered even the distant clouds.

This scene might or might not be considered a change of heaven and earth. Although the "ice layers" gathering supports from all directions on the sea surface had already burst once, they continuously pushed towards this side, overwhelmingly as if endless.

With such power supporting them, surprisingly, the sea surface appeared undisturbed by the battle's aftereffects.

Even Shi Chun, standing behind Li Hongjiu, did not feel any of the fight's aftermath, though many forcibly stabilizing themselves in the air had clothes fluttering in the wind.

"..." Previously panicked, Shi Chun was now utterly dumbfounded.

Those from East Victory were also stunned; the formidable strike boosted by a Heavenly Immortal Minor Realm and a heavy treasure couldn't withstand Li Hongjiu's single blow? Was this some kind of joke?

The two groups in front of the tavern's mirror image remained harmonious, staring at the image as if petrified, while Young Master Nan, who had fallen back, displayed a look of astonishment.

Seeing the demon cultivators in the overwhelming stance above, who aimed to kill him initially, join hands, Li Hongjiu from within the mighty support of the "ice layers" invoked a spell and loudly declared, "If you wish to kill me, then take this move of mine!"

With a gesture towards the sky, he flipped his fingers into a palm, delivering a formal strike towards the group of demon cultivators in the air.

Though others could not discern what was happening, Shi Chun's Right Eye Superpower saw the "ice layer" preparing to explode once again, with a force stronger and greater than before.

In the eyes of others, they observed signs of void distortion along the path of this strike.
