Chapter 287: Nine-Star Martial God - Qian Bailian

At this moment, Sima Qi lifted his gaze to the sky.

Upon closer inspection, he could clearly see numerous figures appearing in the air—people from the Demon Suppression Sect!

Seeing their arrival, Sima Qi's expression immediately darkened.

"Sima Qi, how dare you break into the Demon Suppression Tower and kill our sect members?"

Qian Zhenyang also appeared, his gaze cold as he glared at Sima Qi below.

"Humph!"

"It was you who made the reckless decision to seal this sword!"

Sima Qi snorted coldly, his expression becoming more twisted.

No sooner had he spoken than his body moved, and he attempted to flee in another direction.

He could clearly sense that a powerful Martial God had arrived from the Demon Suppression Sect—likely a Nine-Star Martial God!

If he stayed here, he would most certainly be killed!

With this in mind, he gathered all his strength and prepared to escape.

Bang—

But just as he dashed forward, he collided with an invisible barrier.

He couldn't escape!

Upon closer examination, he noticed faint purple energy on the ground—domain power!?

Realizing what it was, Sima Qi's pupils contracted slightly.

"Sealing Domain,"

an elderly man floating in the sky said in a calm, yet imposing voice as he stared at Sima Qi.

This elder appeared to be an ordinary man, devoid of any noticeable energy fluctuations.

But Sima Qi knew that this was no ordinary person—this was a Nine-Star Martial God, none other than the Frost God, Qian Bailian, the leader of the Demon Suppression Sect!

In desperation, Sima Qi channeled his source power into the sword and prepared to strike at the invisible barrier.

After all, Ye Fan's sword possessed the ability of [Source-Cutting]!

The domain, formed from source power, could definitely be sliced open!

But just as Sima Qi was about to swing his sword, a flash of cold light appeared before him.

Seeing this, Sima Qi's pupils narrowed, and he swung his sword to meet the light.

Clang—

A deafening clash of metal rang out, and Sima Qi was sent flying.

He barely stabilized himself before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it…"

Sima Qi glared ahead.

Standing where Sima Qi had just been was a middle-aged man holding a sword.

With cold eyes, the man swung his sword again, sending another wave of sword energy directly at Sima Qi.

Whoosh—

The powerful sword energy erupted toward Sima Qi.

"Your sword energy is no match for mine!"

Enraged, Sima Qi roared as he unleashed the full might of Ye Fan's sword.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Thousands of sword energies shot forth, clashing with the middle-aged man's attack and dissipating it entirely.

But the attack didn't stop there.

Even more sword energy surged toward the man, who quickly realized the terrifying force behind it.

As he desperately dodged, some of the sword energy pierced through his armor, cutting into his flesh and drawing blood.

"Stop!"

At that moment, Qian Zhenyang rushed down, wielding a massive trident, aiming straight for Sima Qi.

Boom—

The strike missed Sima Qi, hitting the ground instead, causing a massive explosion.

"Humph!"

Sima Qi leapt back and swung his sword once more.

[Nether Flame Soul Slash]!

A crescent-shaped white flame burst forth, hurtling toward Qian Zhenyang.

Though he dodged quickly, the flame still grazed him, igniting part of his body.

"Damn it!"

Qian Zhenyang's face twisted in frustration as he tried to extinguish the flames with his own power.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Qian Zhenyang in such a pitiful state, Sima Qi burst into laughter.

"Now that [Nether Flame Soul Slash] has reached Divine Grade Level 2, the speed and heat of the flames are incredible," Ye Fan murmured to himself.

At that moment, the white-haired elder, Qian Bailian, narrowed his eyes.

Without a word, he raised his hand and sent a massive icy palm descending from the sky.

Not good!

Sima Qi's expression changed drastically as he saw the attack.

In an instant, the surrounding air temperature plummeted, and a colossal icy palm appeared right in front of him.

There was no way to avoid it!

Boom—

Sima Qi was struck directly by the icy palm, slamming him into the ground.

"What immense power… Truly worthy of being called a sect master,"

the middle-aged man with the sword muttered in awe.

Crack, crack—

But to everyone's shock, cracks began to spread across the massive icy palm that had buried Sima Qi.

Moments later, the palm shattered completely, revealing Sima Qi once again.

"Damn old man!!!"

Sima Qi roared angrily. His body was bruised and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, the previous attack had injured him greatly.

[Heaven-Screening Dark Slash]!

Sima Qi channeled his power into Ye Fan's sword, activating a powerful skill.

Boom—

Dark energy gathered around the blade, and in the next moment, it erupted into the sky.

The dark energy covered the heavens, blotting out the sky over a ten-mile radius.

"What's happening!?"

The people of the Demon Suppression Sect were thrown into panic as they witnessed the dramatic change in the sky.

The power of this technique was unlike anything they had ever seen, shaking the heavens and the earth.
