# Chapter 2971: One Slap, One Little Card!
A blazing sword light fell from above, directly splitting the silk handkerchief of Huanlou Xianzi in two!
The illusion was broken, and the immortal light radiating from the illusory celestial palace once again illuminated the starry sky!
Huanlou Xianzi's pretty face turned pale as she glared upward, about to flare up, but all her anger instantly choked back!
The newcomer wore a pure white Daoist robe with the emblem of the Dadao Jianzong embroidered on the chest, sharp and keen, with an aggressive edge!
And that sword strike just now—it was casually slashed with fingers held together like a sword, emitting the same Eternal Realm aura!
The newcomer was none other than Shijian Shengzi of the Dadao Jianzong!
Coming with him was also Jiuyou Zhenjun of the Sanxiu Lianmeng, likewise an Eternal Realm existence!
Huanlou Xianzi suppressed her anger:
(￢益￢；) "Shijian Shengzi? It hasn't been that long since we last met. Already Eternal? Congratulations, I suppose? But you've only just become Eternal—aren't you a bit too hot-tempered?"
Shijian Shengzi laughed heartily:
(՞ټ՞) "Apologies, apologies. This Holy Son has just become Eternal and can hardly contain his excitement. I've always been thinking of that beauty I glimpsed briefly! Such a joyous occasion naturally calls for celebrating with the beauty and sharing the joy. However, when I personally went to the Sanxiu Lianmeng, I learned that the beauty had fallen into danger in an immortal forbidden zone! How could this Holy Son bear to see the beauty suffer? Naturally, I came to rescue my beloved from fire and water! Seeing that you all couldn't break this formation for so long, I feared the beauty might be harmed, so I stepped in. Huanlou Xianzi, please forgive me!"
Huanlou Xianzi snorted coldly and said nothing. Jiuyou Zhenren's expression was also unpleasant—he had wanted to stop him, but simply couldn't hold him back, could he?
Zhen Gui Wang narrowed his eyes: (≖益≖◟) "Shijian Shengzi, no matter how you put it, the woman you fancy is still a member of my Sanxiu Lianmeng. Naturally, we should be the ones to rescue her! And now you're meddling? Isn't that a bit presumptuous? When Chisan Xianzun finds out, he might not be pleased. My Sanxiu Lianmeng is not so incapable that we can't even protect our own disciples!"
What nonsense about a romantic meeting—he probably got wind of the news from somewhere and came to steal the prize, didn't he? Using this as an excuse was just a smokescreen! Someone who could sit in the position of Holy Son of the Dadao Jianzong wouldn't be a useless glutton obsessed with women!
Shijian Shengzi was still smiling: "In this world, only the word 'love' cannot be betrayed. You all aren't trying to ruin my hero-rescuing-beauty act, are you?"
Zhen Gui Wang narrowed his eyes: "I told you! This is my Sanxiu Lianmeng's..."
Before he could finish, Shijian Shengzi's face turned cold, and he directly took out the Da Yan Dao Ling and held it in his hand!
(￢_￢)っ令"Everyone knows about the flashing of the Dao Tree, right? Right now, the cultivation world is facing an unprecedented world-ending calamity, and the Six Great Dao Sects are fully investigating the cause! I now seriously suspect that the appearance of this cave dwelling is directly related to the abnormal flashing of the Dao Tree. I have been ordered to investigate! Everyone... the Sanxiu Lianmeng may not help, but don't hinder, either! Or do you all want to continue obstructing me? Test the weight of this Da Yan Dao Ling?"
At this, Huanlou Xianzi and Zhen Gui Wang's expressions all turned ugly!
If you want to take it all for yourself, just say so—why slap a label on it? Jiuyou Xianzun was also full of helplessness!
And at this moment, within the spatial maze, Jiangnan looked at Nian Hongyan with interest.
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "See? He's coming for you, wanting to be the hero saving the beauty. This so-called Holy Son isn't bad-looking, with good background and strength. Aren't you moved at all?"
Nian Hongyan's face was pale:
(٥ᵒ̴̶̷﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣) "Senior, please don't joke with me. This Shijian Shengzi is the most brilliant rising star in the entire cultivation world, a genius whose name resounds across the starry sky! No one of the younger generation can withstand a single sword from him. Now he's even broken through to the Eternal Realm. How could a little woman like me be worthy of him? He's only taken a fancy to this skin of mine—he'll play with it and discard it. Moreover, because of his Shiji Jian Ti special constitution, any woman who has been... intimate with him turns into dry bones, devoured clean! If I really were delivered into his hands, I'd..."
Finished speaking, Nian Hongyan's gaze dimmed, and she clenched her fists, then suddenly froze!
Wait, how did Senior know that the "beauty" Shijian Shengzi was talking about was me?
In a daze, a frightening feeling spread through her entire body. Nian Hongyan even felt as if she had been seen through—before him, she might have no secrets at all!
Shijian Shengzi narrowed his eyes: "Just a Xukong Xianjin. Why bother being so troublesome with breaking the formation? 'Sword Cleaving Style • Slash!'"
He held his fingers together like a sword, and from his body burst forth an incredibly astonishing sword aura. The sword aura was even dyed golden by the powerful force of will, carrying the determination to sweep away everything! It slashed down violently toward the Modong Galaxy!
The power of this sword was enough to destroy an entire ultra-large galaxy!
Nian Hongyan was filled with horror—was this the might of the Eternal Realm? Even Zhen Gui Wang and the others were moved by the power of this sword!
But Jiangnan only watched quietly as the sword light descended!
The moment the sword light struck the spatial maze, the sword light directly disappeared!
The next instant, at Shijian Shengzi's side, the sword light suddenly appeared, already upon him in a blur!
Shijian Shengzi: ???
Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he roared:
"Shiji Jian Ti!"
He didn't dodge or evade, directly using his body to withstand the sword light. The dazzling sword light was completely absorbed by his body, leaving him unharmed! Only his aura was a bit disordered.
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (°0°〃) "Oh? So the Holy Son isn't just for show after all!"
Having thrust out a sword but nearly cutting himself, Shijian Shengzi's face couldn't quite handle it.
This Xukong Xianjin had some substance!
"I command you all with the Da Yan Dao Ling: fully assist me in breaking the formation and investigating the cause of the Dao Tree flashing. If you disobey, you will be regarded as enemies of the Six Great Dao Sects!"
Zhen Gui Wang and the others were full of disgust, but they had no choice but to act—they didn't want to offend the Six Great Dao Sects!
Zhen Gui Wang narrowed his eyes: "Great Sun Immortal Slaying Sword Array! Activate! Slash for me!"
An ultra-giant immortal array took shape, condensing blood-red suns that slashed wildly at the spatial maze! Unable to break it, they clearly intended to attack hard!
Huanlou Xianzi even took out a purple whisk and swung it wildly: "World-Destroying Thunder Punishment!"
Jiuyou Zhenjun also released countless vengeful spirits, combining them into an ultra-giant evil spirit, pressing down toward the Modong Galaxy with bone claws!
Shijian Shengzi wasn't idle either!
"Sword Twenty-Seven!"
A sword light even fiercer than before descended, appearing in a void form, carrying strong spatial fluctuations! It almost instantly slashed onto the spatial maze!
If not for the spatial maze blocking them, under the full-force attacks of four Eternal Realm experts, the Modong Galaxy would probably be erased from the starry sky!
But Jiangnan laughed: "Then let's see if your brilliance can surpass our glory!"
Saying that, Jiangnan walked forward slowly. Every step seemed to step on the beat of Nian Hongyan's heartbeat!
This was a full-force attack by four Eternal Realm experts! Forgive her—in this lifetime, she had never seen such a terrifying formation!
How could this be blocked? No matter how strong the mysterious senior was, there had to be a limit!
Yet the next moment, under Nian Hongyan's horrified gaze, Jiangnan's figure gradually dissipated before her eyes!
Transforming into a glazed-colored gale, the starry sky was suddenly filled with endless wind sounds, the whistling hurricane in her ears, and the eternal, unceasing heartbeat!
Jiangnan's voice echoed in the wind, every sound entering her ears!
"Bitter South Wind!"
In an instant, the entire Modong Galaxy was directly wrapped in an ultra-giant glazed-colored storm, with countless wind shadows emerging within!
The attacks of the four Eternal Realm experts directly slashed into the storm, only to be ruthlessly shattered by the gale!
Shijian Shengzi's eyes bulged, utterly incredulous!
The next moment, a casual greeting came from behind him:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Yo, Holy Son?"
Shijian Shengzi whirled around, and in his eyes was a figure wearing a ghost mask!
When did he come over? Why didn't my divine sense detect anything?
His body immediately burst forth with dazzling sword light!
"Sword Sea!"
Countless sword lights surged forth, each one enough to slice through the void!
But Jiangnan's body turned glazed-colored!
Without any extra movements, not even defending, he raised a fist and directly smashed it into Shijian Shengzi's stomach!
"Pwah—!"
With this punch, Shijian Shengzi was bent over like a shrimp, his internal organs churning, even his primordial soul feeling as if it were about to be shattered!
And the countless sword lights slashed onto Jiangnan's body, but without exception, they all shattered into pieces like broken mirrors!
Shijian Shengzi's entire figure was blasted away like a cannonball, leaving over a dozen spatial ripple rings along its trajectory! He was directly smashed into the storm, and the next moment, a shocking scream came from Shijian Shengzi!
Before Zhen Gui Wang could recover from his shock, Jiangnan's figure had already appeared before him!
He raised his hand and violently slapped toward Zhen Gui Wang!
A glazed-colored giant hand formed, blotting out the sky!
Zhen Gui Wang roared: "108-Layered Heaven Immortal Defending Array!"
Above his Zhen Gui Primordial Spirit, 180 layers of immortal arrays blossomed, forming an ultra-strong defense!
But the array shield was directly smashed by Jiangnan's giant hand, and even the Zhen Gui Primordial Spirit was slapped into black mist on the spot!
Zhen Gui Wang's body screamed as it was slapped into the gale!
Huanlou Xianzi was already panicked: "Someone! There's someone in this immortal forbidden zone! What level is..."
Before she could finish, a warp bubble wrapped her up and directly sent her into the gale!
Jiuyou Xianzun's face turned white with fear!
What is this? What the hell is this? He slaps Eternal Realm experts one by one?
He turned to run:
٩(‧̣̥̇థ口థ)۶ "Great Teleportation!"
But the spatial fluctuations around him shattered, the space forcibly smoothed, making escape impossible! Moreover, the surrounding space frantically compressed Jiuyou Xianzun, directly trapping him in place!
Jiuyou Xianzun was so crushed he spat blood!
"Yan Gui Blood Sacrifice!"
Countless blood mists emerged from his body, and the Evil Ghost King's form also turned blood-red, erupting with a miserable ghostly howl! Eight bone claws fiercely slammed toward Jiangnan's location!
But Jiangnan's eyes turned crimson, and a rolling killing intent instantly blossomed!
The evil spirit was directly shattered by the impact, disintegrating into countless vengeful souls, and even those billions of vengeful souls were crushed into nothingness!
Jiuyou Xianzun said in terror: "Impossible! This isn't..."
Jiangnan kicked Jiuyou Xianzun right in the butt, sending him tumbling into the gale!
"Go and be impossible in there, will you?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed space, as easily and casually as picking up a tablecloth, then gave it a fierce shake!
Space waves surged in the starry sky, and everyone outside the Eternal Gale was shaken into the gale!
Jiangnan clapped his hands in satisfaction:
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "This should be enough to attract a Creation Realm, right? But first, let's see if they have anything good on them. Guh heh heh~"
Nian Hongyan: "(º△º*)
What... what did I just witness...
