Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1154 601: Life and Death Sword

Inside the massive beast's belly, Qiankun Venerate King channeled his Spiritual Power desperately, fighting to escape. Soon enough, he burst through the fanged creature's body and soared into the air.

Scars marred his body everywhere, leaving him in a terribly ragged state. Gazing at Tianxuan Divine Girl, he demanded, "How many of those Divine Talismans are left with you?"

Tianxuan Divine Girl let out a cold snort, warning him, "Hmph, I have loads more. Dare to act up again, and you'll pay dearly!" Saying this, she called forth the Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship anew, firing it straight at Qiankun Venerate King.

The Array's onslaught battered them both. Amid the fierce Array strikes, they traded a few hasty blows, each focused on fending off the attacks, looking utterly bedraggled for the time being.

Qiankun Venerate King eyed Tianxuan Divine Girl obstructing his path, his Evil Qi surging more fiercely than ever.

Glancing toward Gu Sheng's location, he felt the aura there steadily intensifying. A twinge of concern hit him—if they dragged this out further, Gu Sheng could truly claim the Holy Road Master's inheritance.

Tianxuan Divine Girl faced Qiankun Venerate King with unyielding determination: "You won't get past me unless it's over my corpse!"

These words stunned Qiankun Venerate King: "You little girl, why throw your life away protecting that boy?"

Tianxuan Divine Girl stayed silent.

Her stance fueled Qiankun Venerate King's rage. He had long viewed Tianxuan Divine Girl as his own prize, so her defending another was utterly unforgivable.

Blazing with wrath, Qiankun Venerate King's aura turned even more horrifying, unleashing a savage barrage without holding back.

Though the Array's assaults aggravated his wounds, his Cultivation surged back to the Nascent Soul Realm's pinnacle, giving him a clear edge in power.

Tianxuan Divine Girl, however, suffered grievous injuries, and her damaged Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship had lost much of its might.

Qiankun Venerate King bellowed in fury: "Little girl, today you'll face the price of defying this king!" He then swung his sword, unleashing a tyrannical Sword Qi that roared toward Tianxuan Divine Girl.

Tianxuan Divine Girl failed to evade in time and got hurled back by the Sword Qi instantly. Blood sprayed from her mouth mid-flight, her aura dropping sharply without cease.

Qiankun Venerate King pressed his assault mercilessly. Tianxuan Divine Girl clenched her teeth, fighting back fiercely.

Yet the power gap proved overwhelming. Her Divine Artifact flew from her grasp, and she herself was blasted away, crashing onto a purple-gold lotus flower at last.

From the lotus, Tianxuan Divine Girl forced herself upright, just as Qiankun Venerate King's oppressive pressure closed in swiftly.

Despair and bitterness twisted her ashen face.

Qiankun Venerate King instantly read Tianxuan Divine Girl's intentions.

He sneered mockingly: "Hmph, you barely fled the Array earlier at huge expense—not just the Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship wrecked, but your hidden aces all spent, aren't they?" Laughing haughtily, he lifted his Life and Death Sword, chopping ruthlessly at the purple-gold lotus flower.

This strike channeled his full might, the Sword Qi carving toward Tianxuan Divine Girl along its path.

Tianxuan Divine Girl unsheathed her Spirit Sword. Spiritual Power roiled inside her, ready to clash directly with Qiankun Venerate King's Life and Death Sword.

Qiankun Venerate King had assumed Tianxuan Divine Girl would dodge the fatal blow, eager to mock her retreat.

Instead, Tianxuan Divine Girl stood firm and met it head-on, catching him completely off guard.

A flicker of panic stirred in him—he truly didn't wish to slay Tianxuan Divine Girl.

Her vital role in the Purple Spirit Realm meant her death would bring the Purple Spirit Realm Master's wrath upon him, and besides, he coveted her possession—killing her would shatter that ambition forever.

"Are you insane? Dying for some casual friend!" Qiankun Venerate King yelled in alarm.

His sword momentum carried it ever nearer to Tianxuan Divine Girl, Sword Qi and Demonic Qi twisting into a colossal black maelstrom.

From afar, Bixuan and the others watched in mounting distress.

They whispered, "What's wrong with Tianxuan Divine Girl—why risk everything for that Gu Sheng?"

The pride of the Purple Spirit Realm, Tianxuan Divine Girl held exalted standing, whereas Gu Sheng shone as a genius in the Xinghong Spirit Domain—yet a wide chasm separated them. It hardly seemed worth her staking so much for him.

Tianxuan Divine Girl completely disregarded the others' pleas.

Immensely proud by nature, she prized her dignity above her very life.

Dodging Qiankun Venerate King's sword might spare her body, but it would plant an indelible Heart Demon, ravaging her Dao Heart and potentially derailing her Cultivation journey ahead.

Beyond that, a vague sentiment stirred within her—one she barely grasped herself—simply not wanting Gu Sheng to perish.

This feeling swelled relentlessly in her chest, potent enough to make her wager her existence.

Tianxuan Divine Girl flung her arms wide, the purple Spiritual Mist around her quivering intensely.

The Spiritual Mists leaped onto her flowing black locks, cloaking her in an enigmatic, holy radiance.

Deeper from her core, fresh waves of purple Spiritual Mist erupted, slowly shrouding her form.

Tianxuan Divine Girl coughed up Essence Blood. Her hands danced swiftly, weaving intricate seals; with each one completed, her presence skyrocketed.

To counter Qiankun Venerate King's devastating sword, she unleashed a forbidden Ancient Secret Technique.

Even bolstered by the Ancient Secret Technique, Tianxuan Divine Girl's frail condition left her boosted momentum far short of matching Qiankun Venerate King's.
