Chapter 1490 Too much trouble
The moment their eyes met, Gu Xia raised an eyebrow slightly, then drew his sword and charged at her.
Upon seeing this, Qu Yimian was greatly alarmed and tried to back away.
She knew very well that she was no match for Gu Xia even before she was injured, and now that she had suffered several setbacks in silence, she certainly didn't want to confront her directly.
They summoned so many powerful demons just to outnumber Gu Xia and wear her down. Only someone insane would rush forward to meet them at this point.
Qu Yimian never expected that even under these circumstances, Gu Xia would still target her first.
"Want to run?"
Gu Xia stared without blinking at the great demons that were closing in on her. She switched to the Annihilation Sword in one hand, releasing an undisguised aura of killing intent.
For a moment, the attacks of the demons rushing towards her paused.
Gu Xia showed no mercy or leniency when she struck.
Just kidding, in a situation like this, if they're even a fraction of a second slower, they're the ones who will die.
One has to admire the Annihilation Sword for being a sword imbued with a murderous aura; its movements are exceptionally ruthless, and countless demons perished after just the first strike.
On the battlefield, screams and the stench of blood were almost intertwined, and the falling corpses made it seem like a living hell.
The demons, who had initially held onto a sliver of hope that they could wear down Gu Xia through a war of attrition, suddenly lost their confidence.
Damn it, this isn't a tribulation; it's clearly their Achilles' heel.
Meeting Gu Xia was tantamount to certain death.
And that broken sword in her hand, as expected of the former Demon Lord's sword, its reputation is truly impeccable.
In summary, it can be summed up in one sentence—
It's fast, accurate, insidious, and harmful.
With Gu Xia taking the initiative to hold the line, the pressure on the other disciples was greatly reduced. After a few moves, some of the demons, who were almost scared out of their wits, began to hesitate.
Gu Lanyi sneered, finally finding an opportunity to vent the frustration he had suffered earlier. He appeared in front of the other party like a ghost and struck with his sword, then pulled the two targeted alchemists back a dozen meters away.
"You can't beat Gu Xia, so you attack alchemists? Do you even have any humanity?"
The great demon whose attack was interrupted had a gloomy face. Watching the duck that was about to be caught fly away, he exuded a strong murderous aura and tried to suppress Gu Lanyi with his cultivation.
But the truth is, he was overthinking it.
Leaving aside Gu Xia at the very center of the battlefield, Li Tingyun scoffed lightly, flicked her fingers a couple of times, and easily dispelled his oppressive aura.
When it comes to the team's all-around development, they are professionals.
After all, you can't find many teams with such a complete range of professions in the entire cultivation world.
"You brat." Perhaps feeling he had lost face, or perhaps unwilling to accept it, he threatened in a sinister voice, "Once you kill that Gu Xia, you're all doomed."
"Without her, what are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of us?"
Gu Lanyi's voice was full of coldness as she sneered, "We don't know what we are, but you all look like pretty worthless things."
When it comes to verbal sparring, any one of the five direct disciples would be a deadly opponent.
He found it amusing, and in fact, he did laugh. The young man's eyes were cold and aloof. "Besides, if you want to kill Gu Xia first, then go and kill one yourself and see what happens. What kind of threats are you spouting at me? Are you getting old and need me to point out which one is her?"
"Pfft-"
The disciples were all thrown off balance.
Whether the demons could restrain themselves or not is unknown, but they simply couldn't hold back.
These great demons looked like they had cultivated for countless years. Perhaps it was because the demon realm had been dark and twisted for so long that each of them looked older than their own fathers.
Amidst the fighting, everyone couldn't help but glance at the great demon with pity.
"Tsk tsk, how pathetic." His face was so angry it looked like a color palette, all sorts of colors.
Ye Suian had to admit, "Of all people to mess with, you had to pick the one with the most venomous tongue among us."
That's a walking Venom-making machine!
Just as the great demonic energy was in dire straits, Bai Song and Cheng Jing silently appeared behind him, their two long swords plunging into his heart and throat one after the other.
"Oh haha."
Ye Suian blinked. "Well, now look what happened, he's been poisoned to death, hasn't he?"
The swordsmanship of the Qingyun Sect is very suitable for killing and robbing. The great demon's attention was entirely on Gu Lanyi, and he did not notice the two people who were quietly approaching.
Gu Lanyi glanced at them indifferently and nodded with satisfaction, "You did a good job this time."
Bai Song and Cheng Jing exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat flattered, and almost wanted to see if the sun had risen in the west.
After all, he was usually scolded so often that it was rare to hear a human word from his senior brother's cold mouth today.

As Gu Xia charged into the battlefield with her sword, the demons' every move turned into a desperate resistance. Their surging sword energy was filled with murderous intent, and their so-called encirclement and attack became a complete joke.
Gu Xia's face was expressionless as she wielded her sword with the ease of chopping vegetables.
Several sword spirits appeared one after another, with ice shards densely arranged in the air. With a light tap of the fingertip of the Returning Snow Sword, they accurately took away one demon after another the moment they fell.
The talismans covered the entire battlefield, and the demons who couldn't react in time were instantly blown to pieces. Their screams and howls were cut short as soon as they came out of their throats. Various magical artifacts were thrown out one after another by the artifact cultivators, their colorful lights flashing on and off.
All I can say is that when it comes to showing off one's wealth, even the most powerful demons, who have lived most of their lives, have never seen such a shocking scene.
Grass.
So, your personal guards usually loot the sect's treasury when they go out, right?
They certainly had their own magical weapons, but even they couldn't withstand such intense bombardment. Soon, some of them began to have second thoughts and shouted in a disheveled voice towards the distance, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get us out of this hellhole!"
If we can't beat them, can't we just run away?
However, Qu Yimian saw that Gu Xia was about to kill her, and she was in no condition to protect herself, so she had no time to pay attention to him. Although she was unwilling, she knew in her heart that Gu Xia would not let her go.
She hurriedly raised her hand, trying to leave this unknown secret realm, but after several attempts, the expression on her face gradually broke down.
"Why? Why can't we get out?"
Gu Xia smashed the great demon blocking her way into oblivion with a single blow. Hearing this, she raised an eyebrow and chuckled, her palm gleaming with spiritual light. "Sorry, I've sealed this place off. No one is leaving until this matter is resolved today."
Isn't the secret realm meant for her use? Aren't there restrictions on it?
She gave a cold laugh. "Your idea is good. Why don't you experience what it's like to be trapped inside?"
As for those powerful demons, since we're already here, let's just wait and see.
Nobody should live.
"Are you crazy?"
Whether Gu Xia was crazy or not was unknown, but Qu Yimian was not far from going crazy after her repeated failed attempts. She did not expect Gu Xia to be so insidious, directly cutting off her ability to freely enter and exit the secret realm.
The space was sealed off, so everyone had no choice but to stay here obediently.
The man who had spoken earlier felt as if the sky had fallen.
I thought it was a trap to lure the enemy in, but who the hell would have thought it would turn into a trap to beat them?
Before he could even break down, something even more devastating happened in the next second.
A chilling sense of crisis crept up his back before he could even turn around.
Gu Xia then cleaved him in two at the waist with a single sword strike, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Just before consciousness faded into chaos, the girl's voice was as calm as still water.
"Excuse me, you're in my way."
