The Unrivaled City Lord and others like Dugu Half-Saint immediately took action, forming a Sword Array to envelop Hai Xi Half-Saint, intent on stopping him.
Streaks of Sword Qi, like ribbons, sealed off Hai Xi Half-Saint’s escape routes, making a concentrated effort to detain the traitor.
However, just as the Sword Array was about to coalesce, sharp bursts of blood light suddenly shot over from a distance,
tearing apart the Sword Array.
Taking advantage of the situation, Hai Xi Half-Saint broke free from the Sword Array.
And returned to the side of the Undying Blood Clan.
The moment she received the signal from Hai Xi Half-Saint, Xue Linglong waved her Jade Hand as well, commanding the Blood Slave army to start their withdrawal.
With the Primordial Heaven Sword already in their hands, there was no need for them to continue entangling with the Unrivaled Sacred City.
But how could the Unrivaled City Lord and his people allow Hai Xi Half-Saint to escape after learning that the Primordial Heaven Sword had fallen into the hands of the Undying Blood Clan?
"Stop them at all costs!"
A sinister light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Unrivaled City Lord as he formed Sealing gestures with his hands, causing the entire Unrivaled Sacred City to erupt as if incited at that moment; every Sword Array activated, unleashing countless streaks of sword light that flew out from the depths of the Sacred City, numbering in the tens of thousands!
Transforming into a terrifying sword rain, they poured down upon the Blood Slave army of the Undying Blood Clan, devastating them on impact.
The Blood Slave army immediately let out waves of agonizing screams, suffering heavy deaths and injuries.
Xue Linglong and others, such as Half Saint Xue Yu and Hai Xi Half-Saint, were blocked by the overwhelming sword rain and could not make a swift retreat.
A large number of experts from Unrivaled Sacred City took the opportunity to charge deep into the ranks of the Blood Slave army!
This naturally included Lin Yi!
"Hand over the Primordial Heaven Sword!"
Dugu Half-Saint, riding on a Flying Sword, slashed through hundreds of Blood Slaves, emerging deep within the army.
Following him were other Semi-Saints, each strike of their swords annihilating swathes of Blood Slaves, forcibly carving a path through.
"The Primordial Heaven Sword has already fallen into the hands of our Undying Blood Clan, how could there be any reason to hand it back?"
Xue Linglong remained indifferent. No matter how many Blood Slaves were sacrificed, they could not afford to lose the Primordial Heaven Sword.
"Then we’ll just have to capture you, princess of the Undying Blood Clan, and exchange you for the Primordial Heaven Sword!"
At this moment, a voice came from not far away, and it was none other than Lin Yi!
Xue Linglong clearly did not take Lin Yi seriously, never having regarded anyone from the younger generation of the Eastern Domain as her equal.
Lin Yi didn’t waste words with her, as three strands of Sword Intent burst forth from within him, merging into his sword meridians!
They condensed into three astonishing streaks of red, black, and yellow Sword Qi!
Each streak of Sword Qi was hundreds of feet long, unleashing terrifying sharpness, and hung high over Lin Yi’s head.
Lin Yi flicked his finger, and the three streaks of Sword Qi, each bolstered by a different Sword Intent, suddenly tore through the sky, slashing towards Xue Linglong from three directions at once!
Seeing how ferocious Lin Yi’s attack was, the complexion of Xue Linglong also changed slightly, as the blood energy within her surged forth, forming a barrier of blood light to protect her surroundings.
Despite this, Xue Linglong had still underestimated the power of Lin Yi’s Sword Qi, as the blood light barrier around her was instantly pierced, falling apart.
Though a layer of Undying Blood Armor appeared on Xue Linglong’s body, she was still struck by Lin Yi’s three streaks of Sword Qi, sending her flying.
Three sword scars appeared on the surface of the Blood Armor!
The sword scars lingered, unable to heal on their own!
Looking slightly disheveled, Xue Linglong stabilized her form and her eyes held a more serious look when she looked at Lin Yi, not expecting this young man to have such strength, almost causing her a significant loss.
Seeing that Xue Linglong wasn’t slain by his three swords, surprise appeared on Lin Yi’s face. Even the Undying Blood Clan’s Eighth Prince couldn’t withstand his three streaks of Sword Qi, yet Xue Linglong had managed to persevere.
Just then, the voice of Hai Xi Half-Saint came abruptly from behind, "This man possesses the Chaos Sword Body of the Human Clan, a miraculous talent not to be underestimated!"
Xue Linglong was taken aback, evidently having heard of this type of the Human Clan’s Sacred Body.
But that was limited to legends; she hadn’t expected to encounter a living Chaos Sword Body.
No wonder he could easily breach her Undying Blood Armor, nearly causing her severe damage.
"Chaos Sword Body, if you were to grow up, would not another powerful Sword Saint emerge in the Eastern Domain?"
A cold light swirled in Xue Linglong’s eyes as she stared at Lin Yi. Now that this young man had willingly run into her grasp, how could she allow Lin Yi a way out, leaving such a great threat to the Undying Blood Clan?
Xue Linglong raised her hands, and a massive Blood Cloud emerged, astonishingly condensing into a huge blood-colored Phoenix in midair, occupying one-third of the sky, and emitting a fearsome Divine Beast’s aura.
The Phoenix, a Divine Beast from the Ancient Times, had long since been extinct in the Eastern Domain.
Xue Linglong had obtained a strand of Phoenix’s Residual Soul, integrating it into her body, thus evolving into such a powerful technique.
