With a bang, Li Xuan and the Divine Son clashed sword and axe, both sent flying back thousands of meters.
Neither continued their attack, and all eyes, including Jian Nancang's, turned towards the sky.
A figure, easily fifteen feet tall, appeared in mid-air, its terrifying aura causing the surrounding space to constantly collapse and shatter.
"Main God, save me!" Qiu Shang cried out loudly upon seeing this.
The newcomer cast a detached glance around, their gaze then falling on Liuli.
"The Anti-Heaven Organization has twelve Divine Generals and six Main Gods. Let me think, I haven't seen you before. You must be new. But you've come here, aren't you afraid of perishing?" Liuli observed the newcomer and smiled faintly.
"You seem to know quite a bit about our Anti-Heaven Organization. This person belongs to us. Could you give me face and let me take him away?" The newcomer's eyes flashed with surprise at these words before slowly speaking.
Liuli, however, shook her head slightly. "If I say no, will you attack?"
Qiu Shang, seeing this, quickly interjected, "Main God Jin Ge, this person is the protector of the Child of Destiny. If we eliminate him, the Child of Destiny's fortune will undoubtedly belong to our Anti-Heaven Organization!"
"So noisy." Liuli's expression turned cold as she waved her hand. The next moment, Qiu Shang spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My lady, attacking in front of me, do you not take me seriously at all?" After hearing Qiu Shang's words, Jin Ge's gaze shifted, and he had already located Li Xuan. He then looked at Liuli, his aura instantly surging.
"It seems you've made up your mind to fight." Liuli smiled, her expression turning cold as a wisp of sword energy suddenly appeared on her.
*Yin!*
With a wave of Liuli's jade hand, the sword energy shot straight towards Jin Ge.
"A mere sword energy, trying to wound me!" Jin Ge scoffed, not taking the wisp of energy seriously at all.
However, the next moment, Jin Ge's expression changed drastically as he looked down in disbelief.
"How... how is this possible?!" Jin Ge uttered with difficulty, a sword wound deep enough to see bone appearing on his chest.
*Boom!*
With a roar, Jin Ge's massive body was pulverized into dust and vanished.
Silence.
Everyone present was stunned into speechlessness, none having expected the woman in the sky to be so powerful.
"How about you call some more people?" Liuli's gaze shifted to Qiu Shang.
Qiu Shang felt utterly wronged. You're this strong, why would I call anyone? Moreover, Qiu Shang was already despairing. Even a Main God like Jin Ge, one of the Six Main Gods, was killed by a wisp of sword energy. If he survived, returning to the Anti-Heaven Organization would be worse than death.
"Who dares kill my disciple!"
Just then, an angry roar echoed, and a figure stepped out of the void. The newcomer was clad in white robes, his eyebrows and beard, three to four inches long, fluttering with an imposing presence.
"Elder..." Qiu Shang's face lit up upon seeing the newcomer, but he immediately closed his mouth, remembering what had happened.
Who knew if the Elder could defeat that woman? If he died too, his sin would be too great.
"One of the Four Elders. You've truly opened my eyes today," Liuli remarked, looking at the old man. With a slight movement of her finger, the wisp of sword energy coiled around it.
"Did you kill my disciple?" The old man's gaze instantly fell upon Liuli, his eyes narrowing slightly at the sword energy on her fingertip.
"This sword energy has some merit. No wonder my disciple perished here." The old man took a deep breath, his expression turning cold. "However, you will accompany my disciple on her journey!"
As the old man spoke, a terrifying wave of energy surged towards Liuli.
For the first time, Liuli's expression turned solemn, and she unleashed the sword energy on her finger.
*Boom!*
A thunderous roar shook the air, and Liuli's figure was instantly forced back hundreds of meters. The sword energy had dimmed significantly, its power greatly depleted.
"Hmm, I underestimated you. To survive one move from me, you're quite something." The old man spoke and attacked again, a seemingly casual palm strike sending Liuli flying back thousands of meters.
"Senior Liuli!"
Seeing Liuli with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, Li Xuan cried out anxiously. This was the first time Li Xuan had seen Liuli forced into retreat.
Clearly, the old man's strength was above Liuli's.
"The Elder's strength is indeed extraordinary!" Qiu Shang exclaimed with delight and shouted, "Elder, this person is the protector of the Child of Destiny. If we kill him, perhaps the Child of Destiny's fortune can be exchanged for Main God Jin Ge!"
The old man's gaze shifted, and in an instant, he spotted Li Xuan.
"His destiny has been obscured. I almost misjudged him. To reach the Emperor of Destiny realm at such a young age, the Child of Destiny's fortune might indeed be able to revive my disciple!"
With those words, the old man reached out and grabbed Li Xuan, an invisible force instantly pulling him to the old man's side.
"Let him go!"
Liuli's expression changed, and with a gritted teeth, she shot towards the old man.
If Li Xuan were to die here, the entire world, even the universe, might not be able to withstand their master's wrath.
"If you took another step, you might have been able to block me. However, you have no chance now." The old man let out a cold snort and flicked his sleeve, sending Liuli flying away.
"Soul Burning!"
"Bloodline Burning!"
Unable to move, Li Xuan saw this and a fierce killing intent erupted within him. He immediately began to burn his soul without hesitation.
*Boom!*
As Li Xuan's self-sacrificing soul burning and bloodline burning commenced, a terrifying aura spread out. Even the old man was somewhat shocked that this seemingly weak as an ant human had broken free from his suppression!
"Master Sword, kill him!"
Li Xuan roared, completely disregarding his own consumption, and unleashed a sword strike.
"An interesting sword, but unfortunately, you are not even as good as her, so how can you shake me?" The old man reached out and caught Li Xuan's Master Sword, then casually tossed it aside.
*Pfft!*
Li Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly withering to its limit.
The old man waved his hand again, and Liuli's body was instantly restrained and brought before Li Xuan.
The old man leaned down, looking at Li Xuan, and said indifferently, "Are you, despairing?"
"Cough... cough..." Li Xuan was already extremely weak. After two violent coughs, his eyes began to lose focus.
He was, after all, still too weak.
The old man glanced at Liuli, whose face was contorted with fury, and then sneered contemptuously.
"What so-called Child of Destiny, what so-called protector, they are all ants in my eyes. In this world, I am invincible!"
"Hmm? Someone claims to be invincible. It seems I have another opponent."
At the same time, under a starry sky, a figure suddenly stopped. A fierce fighting spirit surged across his face before he vanished from his spot.
