Terran Guardian - Chapter 4102

Chapter 4077: The Nine-Deer Venerable

Within a sacred mountain, numerous cultivators of the Guiyuan Immortal Sect gathered.

Leading them

was none other than the Sect Master of the Guiyuan Immortal Sect—Venerable Lanhe!

“Sect Master, how long will it take for the other forces to arrive?”

an elder asked.

Venerable Lanhe replied calmly, “The other forces will arrive in a day to two or three days at most. Our sect can simply wait here!”

The Star Luo Immortal Domain is vast, and as the number one top-tier immortal domain, it is many times larger than ordinary immortal domains.

If a half-saint were to traverse it, that would be fine.

But for a large army to set out, it naturally takes time.

It is only because the Guiyuan Immortal Sect is adjacent to Taiyuan Prefecture that they were able to arrive so quickly.

However,

these are minor matters.

To Venerable Lanhe, waiting an extra day or two is nothing.

But…

The elder who had spoken now looked somewhat worried: “Now that we intend to attack the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and our army has entered Taiyuan Prefecture, the Seven Profound Dao Sect will surely receive the news.

What if they strike first? What will we do then?”

“Elder Zhao, why worry unnecessarily? Now that all our forces have gathered, how dare the Seven Profound Dao Sect make a move?

If we defend the Cangwu Mountains, they might be able to live a few more days.

To act rashly is to invite their own destruction!”

Venerable Lanhe smiled with his hands behind his back, not worried at all that the Seven Profound Dao Sect would make a move.

If he were in the Seven Profound Dao Sect, he would either defend the sect to the death or flee; there was no possibility of taking the initiative to attack.

However—

the moment Venerable Lanhe finished speaking, a cold voice followed.

“Whether my sect is destroyed or not, I don’t know, but today your Guiyuan Immortal Sect is finished!”

“Who!”

Venerable Lanhe’s expression changed drastically. The next moment, he saw the void shatter, and a blood-stained stone spear pierced through the air, directly penetrating his chest and pinning him to death in the void.

“Pfft!”

Venerable Lanhe spat out blood, his expression filled with terror.

He wanted to speak, but it was too late. “

Boom—”

In the next instant, Venerable Lanhe’s body exploded, and his soul was instantly annihilated.

Everything happened too fast. Until Venerable Lanhe perished, the cultivators of the Guiyuan Immortal Sect did not react. It was not

until the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect appeared and surrounded the entire immortal mountain that they suddenly came to their senses.

“Not good, enemy attack!!!”

An elder’s face was filled with terror, and then he fled without looking back.

He was joking.

Even his own sect leader was killed in a single move, how could he be a match for him?

But unfortunately.

The instant he turned around, he was suppressed by a terrifying force, his entire body turning into minced meat, his soul long since annihilated.

At the same time,

the void shattered.

Zhong Yu stepped out, casually grabbing the stone spear, and looked at the remaining cultivators of the Guiyuan Immortal Sect, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

“Kill! Leave no one alive!”

The moment the words left his mouth,

he attacked.

The power of an ancient half-saint was a devastating blow to the cultivators of the Guiyuan Immortal Sect.

The Guiyuan Immortal Sect had dispatched three half-saints this time, the strongest of whom was Venerable Lanhe, a fourth-tribulation half-saint, while the other two were at the first-tribulation level.

With Venerable Lanhe’s fall, the remaining two half-saints quickly followed suit.

Before a sixth-tribulation half-saint, even a fourth-tribulation half-saint was nothing but an ant; a mere first-tribulation half-saint had no chance of turning the tide.

With Zhong Yu’s command, the other elders also attacked.

Surrounded by numerous semi-saints, the Guiyuan Immortal Sect was utterly destroyed in a short time.

Simultaneously,

the extraordinary phenomenon of a semi-saint’s demise alarmed all sides.

Meanwhile, in the White Deer Cave Heaven, upon witnessing the illusory image of the Great Dao falling from the void, the Nine Deer Venerable, the master of the White Deer Cave Heaven, paled drastically.

“The Great Dao has collapsed, a semi-saint has fallen!”

“That’s the direction of the Guiyuan Immortal Sect—”

As one of the two major forces that first entered the Taiyuan Prefecture, the White Deer Cave Heaven naturally had connections with the Guiyuan Immortal Sect.

To be precise,

before even entering the Taiyuan Prefecture, the two forces had considerable interaction.

The Nine Deer Venerable was naturally familiar with the aura of Venerable Lanhe.

It was precisely because of this familiarity

that he was horrified.

Venerable Lanhe, like himself, was at the level of a fourth-tribulation semi-saint. Now that Venerable Lanhe had suddenly fallen, he must have been attacked by a powerful figure. If

the other party could kill Lanhe, they could kill him as well.

In that instant,

the Nine Deer Venerable understood who had made the move.

“Seven Profound Dao Sect! Retreat! Issue the order: all cultivators must evacuate Taiyuan Prefecture!!”

Having figured out the forces that had attacked, Venerable Nine Deer, disregarding his initial shock, immediately ordered a retreat.

Before this,

he and Venerable Lanhe shared the same thought: the Seven Profound Dao Sect would never dare to step out of their mountain gates.

But now it seemed

they were mistaken .

The Seven Profound Dao Sect was not afraid at all; in fact, they were going to take the initiative to weaken their allied forces first.

Now that Venerable Lanhe had fallen, it was clear without a doubt that the Guiyuan Immortal Sect was finished.

The next target would undoubtedly be White Deer Cave Heaven.

If they didn’t leave now, they would truly be trapped.

However—

just as the cultivators of White Deer Cave Heaven were preparing to retreat, a terrifying aura pressed down, its vast, abyss-like power shattering tens of thousands of miles of space. Such terrifying power seemed capable of overturning heaven and earth.

When Venerable Nine Deer sensed this terrifying aura, his face turned deathly pale.

“It’s over!”

This was his first thought.

The next instant,

he saw twelve immortal swords descend from the sky, their overwhelming killing aura engulfing everything.

“What kind of formation is this?!”

Looking at the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation before him, Venerable Nine Deer was increasingly horrified. Such a top-tier killing formation made even him feel a chill.

With his limited knowledge, he couldn’t recognize the origin of this formation.

“This is the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation. It is a great honor for your White Deer Cave Heaven to be destroyed by this formation!”

A cold voice came, and then a figure in purple robes arrived through the air. His indifferent gaze fell on Venerable Nine Deer, instantly causing his mind to tremble.

“Shen Changqing, the Sword Master of Xuantian!”

The moment he saw the newcomer, Venerable Nine Deer recognized his identity.

There was no way

he was unfamiliar with Shen Changqing’s appearance.

This time, their allied forces had almost deeply imprinted Shen Changqing’s appearance in their minds in order to annihilate the Seven Profound Dao Sect. They would never forget it.

But soon, Venerable Nine Deer took a deep breath and forced an ugly smile.

“White Deer Cave Heaven is willing to withdraw from this battle, and this humble Daoist is willing to swear an oath of Dao Heart, never to be an enemy of the Seven Profound Dao Sect again for all eternity.

We only hope that Sect Master Shen can grant White Deer Cave Heaven a sliver of hope!”

Begging for mercy!

This was the only way.

Whether it was the terrifying aura emanating from Shen Changqing or the terrifying killing array before them, both made Venerable Nine Deer understand one thing:

such a powerful figure was absolutely beyond White Deer Cave Heaven’s ability to handle.

If they were to truly fight, White Deer Cave Heaven had no chance of victory.

Only by begging for mercy could they have a sliver of hope.

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing’s face turned cold: “From the moment you stepped into Taiyuan Prefecture, you should have considered this outcome.

Blame it on your insufficient strength!” With

that,

Shen Changqing didn’t waste any more words with Venerable Nine Deer, directly activating the Immortal Extinction Sword Array. Terrifying killing sword energy shattered layers of space, directly attacking the cultivators of White Deer Cave Heaven.

Since the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram transformed into a Primal Divine Weapon and then advanced to a Primordial Emperor Weapon, the power of the Immortal Extinction Sword Array has greatly increased.

Even a Second Tribulation Half-Saint would find it difficult to truly break such an array.

Not to mention,

the person currently wielding the array is Shen Changqing.

As a result ,

the power of the Immortal Extinction Sword Array has reached a terrifying level.

In a single exchange, the cultivators of White Deer Cave Heaven exploded, many instantly slaughtered by the Immortal Extinction Sword Array.

Seeing his disciples fall one by one, Venerable Nine Deer’s eyes turned bloodshot.

“Shen Changqing, since you insist on exterminating us, then even if I die, I will make you pay the price!!!”

In that instant,

Venerable Nine Deer stepped into the air, transforming into a divine deer with nine heads, all nine heads glaring angrily, as if they wanted to devour their prey.

Immediately afterward, the nine heads of the Nine Deer Venerable opened their mouths, each unleashing bursts of lightning and poisonous fire, all sorts of terrifying power hurtling towards Shen Changqing.

Seeing this

, Shen Changqing remained calm, simply throwing a punch. All his qi, blood, and immortal power coalesced, unleashing a power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

“Boom!!!”

Before this punch, all the lightning and poisonous fire dissipated, the remaining force striking the Nine Deer Venerable, causing his nine heads to explode one

after another. Then

, the Nine Deer Venerable’s body also collapsed.

In a single exchange,

the Lord of White Deer Cave Heaven had already perished on the spot.

The other cultivators of White Deer Cave Heaven were horrified, their eyes filled with despair.

“The Cave Master is dead!!”

To them, the Nine Deer Venerable was the heavens, the strongest being in the entire White Deer Cave Heaven.

Now,

even someone as powerful as the Nine Deer Venerable had been instantly killed; how could they possibly be a match for him?

Some cultivators, unable to suppress their fear, wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, while others, facing certain death, suppressed their terror and attacked Shen Changqing directly.

However,

no matter their choices, nothing could change.

Under the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, even a half-saint would bleed.

If Venerable Nine Deer were present, allowing him to act freely might have been possible to break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, but now that Venerable Nine Deer had fallen, the remaining cultivators of White Deer Cave Heaven posed no threat whatsoever.

Shen Changqing didn’t interfere further, simply activating the formation to annihilate them.

In less than a moment, the cultivators of White Deer Cave Heaven were almost entirely wiped out.

Then,

Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, completely retracting the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. The once-immortal mountain was now soaked in blood, littered with the remains of White Deer Cave Heaven cultivators.

He glanced at it indifferently, then turned and left.

White Deer Cave Heaven was destroyed.

Guiyuan Immortal Sect was also destroyed.

Two of the twenty-seven forces have now been wiped out.

Only after Shen Changqing had been gone for a long time did the other cultivators who sensed the fluctuations in his aura dare to approach. When they saw the horrific scene before them, their faces turned horrified.
