arrow to fly out. With his physical strength, he certainly wouldn't be careless enough to personally catch Han Chi ancestor's ice whip. Attaching two fire dragon arrows, Lu Xiaoxiao swallowed a ninth-..."Then we'll see if you have the ability." The lotus avatar smiled upon hearing this, seemingly unconcerned about Jiuren Mountain's threat. In her heart, she sent a voice transmission to Xiao Yu, "Later, depending on the situation, take the Sword Servant away. Jiuren Mountain is targeting me this time. After becoming demonic, his obsession runs deep; he won't stop until he settles the score with me."

"No, if we're going to leave, we leave together. If we're staying, we stay together." Xiao Yu's face immediately turned anxious upon hearing this. From the tone of Lotus Split's voice, Xiao Yu could sense that she didn't have much confidence.

“With you lot around, it's inconvenient for me to make a clean getaway. You should retreat with the main army. If even the celestial army is intercepted by the demonic horde, then there's nothing we can do, just abandon the celestial army and leave quickly with your sword attendants. I have my own escape plan.”

The lotus avatar shook its head. Although the fourteen sword servants were skilled, the lotus avatar had personally trained them for a period of time, teaching them swordsmanship. Given enough time, these sword servants could form a sword formation capable of confronting even Golden Immortal-level powerhouses.

Unfortunately, time is too limited. Even though the lotus avatar possesses the strength of a Golden Immortal through the Seven Great Sword Fortifications, it was only a chance encounter and a matter of fate. Even the main body, with a deeper foundation and countless methods, could only contend with Golden Immortals by relying on the eighteen puppet warriors. In essence, it too failed to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Even though I already possess the strength of a Gold Immortal, that final layer remains insurmountable.

Even my main body and lotus avatar are like this, I've given Xiao Yu and the other sword servants too little time to grow.

“Lord Mayor, are you confident” Xiao Yu still said with concern.

"Getting out wouldn't be a big problem, but if I brought you along, I doubt I could take care of things behind us." The lotus avatar didn't have much control in reality. After all, a mere Jiuyang City was insignificant compared to the vast depth of Luo'ang Prison.

In the past, the demon army within Luoyang Prison had no need to charge out. However, now that the master of Luoyang Prison, Xun Yin Lei Ling, has this desire, things are different. With the Heavenly Court of Hong Hao unable to send reinforcements immediately, Jiuyang City would be unable to withstand the assault even at its peak, let alone after being severely wounded.

He didn't want Xiao Yu and the others to accompany him because he didn't want more people to meet their end.

"Very well, I shall lead the other sword servants to march with the main army. If you do not arrive in time, my other sword servants would rather perish alongside demonic armies than live a life of cowardice." Xiao Yu's expression was resolute.

"It hasn't come to that yet." The lotus avatar frowned and didn't say anything more. Xiao Yu, this woman, was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She had made up her mind, and even he couldn't easily change it. While she would obey his orders for now, the lotus avatar couldn't completely dispel Xiao Yu's personal thoughts.

Right now, we can only take it one step at a time.

“If you want to fight me again, then come.” The lotus avatar’s voice trailed off as she took a step forward.

“Interesting, I learned about your skills last time. This time, I'll try again.” Jiuren Mountain Master laughed and didn't rush to make a move. He also followed in the footsteps of emptiness, closely following the other party.

The Lotus Clone guessed right. Jiuren Mountain became a demon because of it, and its resentment towards the Lotus Clone reached its peak, treating it as a heart demon that must be eliminated quickly.

Outside the main city, seven Sword Mountains trembled, large stones tumbled, revealing the sharp blades within. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, seven giant swords converged toward the lotus split-self. As streaks of sword shadows fell upon the figure that appeared slightly slender yet upright, the opponent's aura sharpened like a blade being drawn from its sheath.

"Why not make your move while my momentum hasn't fully built up" The lotus clone, after merging completely with the Seven Swords, gave Jiuren Mountain a surprised look. Although he could wield the intent of the seven divine swords from afar, there was still a noticeable difference due to the distance separating them.

He didn't believe that Jiuren Mountain couldn't see this, but Jiuren Mountain was like watching a fire from across the river, just sitting and watching him on this side continuously improve, which inevitably made Lianhua's avatar feel strange.

“In the past, it was my own inner demons that plagued me, or perhaps the Seven Blades were a demon in my heart. I was obsessed with eliminating the child of the Seven Swords, and by ruthlessly suppressing the Seven Blades, I believed I could secure my position as City Lord. Only after falling into madness did I realize that all of this was an illusion. What I needed to defeat wasn't you, but the Seven Blades themselves. Defeating a weak opponent held no meaning. Only when your strength reaches its peak can I truly vanquish you, erasing the regrets of my past and allowing me to progress further on the path of cultivation.”

By now, when Jiu Ren Shan looked at the lotus avatar again, there was no longer that previous placidity that concealed a murderous intent. Instead, what burned within him was a surging battlelust.

"It seems you've truly found your path by falling into the demonic way. Congratulations." The lotus avatar's eyes held a hint of seriousness.

"Thank you. Compared to me, your growth potential is far more terrifying. It's a pity you don't have the time." Jiuren Shan was extremely surprised by Lianhua's split-body congratulation. Even with this small interruption, he didn't intend to delay any longer.

With a sweep of his great sleeve, Jiu Ren Shan's immense form rose, the heavy mountains undulating like waves. Phantom peaks soared into the sky from thin air, and in an instant, the surroundings transformed into a domain of ten thousand mountains. The interwoven power of laws had completely merged within this space, while all other forces were gradually being squeezed out, including Lian Hua's avatar, who was also under immense pressure.

The lotus avatar had no intention of staying to fight for victory or defeat. Jiuren Mountain wanted to destroy the Seven Great Town Swords to eliminate his inner demons and prove his Dao. However, the lotus avatar only wanted to escape. His Dao was not here in Jiuren Mountain; the other party was just a stronger opponent he happened to face.

The army of demons launched a massive counteroffensive. With the celestial army of Jiuyang City fighting hard with no reinforcements in sight, the city was about to fall. Even though he managed to hold out against Jiuren Mountain's magic duel in the end, if he were restricted in place, he would still be in even greater danger.

The lotus blossoms step lightly through the void, and wherever their feet tread, sword lotuses bloom, forming a winding path of sword lotuses in mid-air. Those lotuses bloom and then fall within the blink of an eye, like the ephemeral flower of the fleeting dew.

The petals falling transformed into blades of pale yet tenacious energy, constantly cutting and splitting the imposing mountain formations that surged forward. They broke the large into small, and the small into nothingness. In this way, they carved a narrow passage through the vast expanse of one hundred thousand mountains.

Within the ten thousand mountains, a sudden gust of wind and sand arose. The body of Mount Jiuren had been completely swallowed by the swirling sand, disappearing without a trace. In its place, a giant human face formed from the swirling sand in mid-air gazed down at the lotus incarnation below, which appeared incredibly tiny.

"It's the Mu Xiao Lock Demon Hunyi Array again" The lotus avatar smiled faintly. It seems Jiuren Mountain still holds a grudge against last time's defeat.

Please: m.ddyueshufled for its life long ago. There was no way it could remain as calm and collected as Lu Xia Tian. 。The blame can only be placed on that scheming Wu Changlian. He miscalculated and deserves to have hi...
