It was common knowledge that Danilo Lujan had once been part of the Blood Sword Immortal Sect. As one of Danilo Lujan's most talented individuals, Xue Qiansha was intimately familiar with the Blood Sword Immortal Sect's Blood Sword Talisman.
He knew that during a fierce conflict between the Danilo Lujan Sect and the Blood Sword Immortal Sect, a practitioner from the latter had used the Blood Sword Talisman to evade capture by three powerful cultivators from Danilo Lujan Sect.
Yet, Xue Qiansha could never have anticipated this turn of events. Li Tianyuan, from the Nine Li Immortal Sect, had somehow pinpointed their location in such a brief span of time.
As shock threatened to overwhelm him, Li Tianyuan materialized on the phantom of an immortal crane, hovering thousands of feet away from Xue Qiansha. Gazing down at him, Li Tianyuan spoke with a detached tone, "You're the defector from the Danilo Lujan Sect, Xue Qiansha, aren't you?"
Xue Qiansha, too stunned to respond, kept his eyes locked on Li Tianyuan. "The Blood Sword Talisman is the ultimate tool for escape. It leaves no trace. How on earth did you find us?"
"The Blood Sword Immortal Sect's talisman is, without a doubt, remarkable. An average Mahayana Realm cultivator wouldn't stand a chance against it," Li Tianyuan acknowledged with a slight smile. "However, I have mastered the Dao of Space. Did you really think a simple talisman could help you elude me? That's quite fanciful thinking."
The Dao of Space!
Xue Qiansha's face contorted with dismay.
"Xue Qiansha, the Nine Li Immortal Sect has no quarrel with you. Leave now, and I'll spare you any trouble today," Li Tianyuan offered, his voice still emotionless. "Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to apprehend you and deliver you to Danilo Lujan. I'm sure they'll be delighted to have you back."
The Danilo Lujan Sect's standing was neck and neck with the Nine Li Immortal Sect among the top ten immortal sects. In recent years, the Danilo Lujan Sect had experienced rapid growth, even challenging the Nine Li Immortal Sect's status.
The Jiuli Immortal Sect was quite pleased with the unexpected return of the Danilo Lujan Cult's traitor, Xue Qiansha, especially considering the significant injuries he had inflicted upon the cult. This was precisely why Li Tianyuan refrained from attacking Xue Qiansha. As long as Xue Qiansha didn't interfere with his schemes, Li Heaven Abyss was content to let him be, allowing the rogue to continue wreaking havoc on the Danilo Lujan Sect.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Qiansha declared resolutely, "If you want to harm my master, you'll have to get through me first!" Unflinching in the face of Li Tianyuan, a cultivator of the Great Vehicle rank, Xue Qiansha stood his ground.
Xue Qiansha was acutely aware that his life was in Peter Parker's hands. Should any harm befall Peter Parker, his own survival would be in jeopardy. Moreover, after spending time with Peter Parker, Xue Qiansha had come to recognize him as his master. Abandoning Peter Parker now was unthinkable.
With Peter Parker's guidance, Xue Qiansha had been part of eliminating several transcendent talents from the Danilo Lujan Sect, including the sect's Right Protector, Xue Jiuming. Such feats were beyond Xue Qiansha's imagination before he met Peter Parker. It was through following Peter Parker that Xue Qiansha found hope for vengeance.
Without Peter Parker, Xue Qiansha feared he wouldn't last long against the Danilo Lujan's pursuit, much less achieve his revenge. Consequently, he was prepared to do whatever it took to create a diversion for Peter Parker.
"Stubborn!" Li Tianyuan scoffed, his cold snort echoing as the overwhelming presence of a Great Ekayāna Rank cultivator bore down on Xue Qiansha like an insurmountable force.
"Li Tianyuan, today I, Xue Qiansha, will witness firsthand the might of a Mahayana Realm cultivator from the Nine Li Immortal Sect!"
Xue Qiansha's roar was filled with fury. His Qi and blood surged, transforming him into a colossal blood shadow stretching ten thousand feet. With a blood-red blade in hand, born from chaos, he launched an attack on Li Heaven Abyss.
Blood Hell Divine Saber!
The strike caused the very fabric of space to rupture. Both heaven and earth were engulfed in a demonic, blood-red purgatory.
Within this nightmarish purgatory, fearsome saber energies tore through the air, seemingly capable of grinding the entire world to dust.
"As expected from the once-celebrated prodigy of the Danilo Lujan Sect, you've nearly reached the threshold of the Quasi-Mahayana Realm. Given time, I fear you might ascend as the fourth Quasi-Sovereign realm genius within the Immortal Breaking Universe."
"What a shame... At this moment, you're still as insignificant as an ant before me."
Li Heaven Abyss gazed down upon the world, utterly dismissive of Xue Qiansha's blade.
With a casual flick of his finger, an invisible spatial blade burst forth, effortlessly cleaving the Blood Purgatory in two before striking Xue Qiansha's blood-red blade.
"Clang!"
The blood-red blade met the spatial blade, emitting a resounding metallic clang.
And then...
Xue Qiansha's body shook violently. His blade was wrenched from his grasp, and the massive blood figure he had become shattered with a thunderous crash. He was sent hurtling through the air for ten thousand feet, like a kite whose string had been cut.
"Grug!"
A mouthful of fresh blood escaped Xue Qiansha's lips, and his vitality plummeted.
Lifting his head to peer at Li Heaven Abyss suspended in the void, a sense of utter helplessness washed over him.
With his present power, he might stand a chance against a Quasi-Mahayana Realm cultivator. But faced with a true Mahayana Realm master, he was utterly defenseless.
"Xue Qiansha, I've already offered you a chance. Since you're hell-bent on courting death, I shall grant your desire!"
Li Tianyuan gazed down with indifference at Xue Qiansha, extending his hand to grasp the air where Xue Qiansha hovered. Suddenly, a vast and powerful spatial force erupted around Xue Qiansha, trapping both his body and the surrounding thousand feet of space.
However, at this critical juncture, a terrifying Sword Spirit, capable of slaying even an immortal god, began to permeate the area.
Instantly, a blindingly bright sword light burst forth from the valley below, shattering Li Tianyuan's spatial confinement with ease.
Simultaneously, a chilling voice echoed through the heavens and the earth.
"Li Tianyuan, you can't just kill one of my men on a whim!"
Li Tianyuan's eyes narrowed as he turned toward the source of the voice. He saw a figure brandishing an ancient golden sword, soaring up from the valley below.
"Young man, your talent surpasses even those of the three quasi-supreme prodigies of the Shattering Immortal Universe. It would truly be a waste for you to die so prematurely."
Facing Peter Parker, who was now before him, Li Tianyuan spoke with cool detachment, "I'll repeat myself. Surrender the two immortal treasures you possess, and I might just spare your life."
Peter Parker responded with a cold smile, "Li Tianyuan, if you desire these immortal treasures, you'll have to see if my sword will permit it!"
