After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 433 Unprovoked Interception

As all the strange phenomena in the world disappeared, the moonlight shone on Tianjian City once more, illuminating the blank faces of the people of Tianjian City as they gazed at the sky.

Bai Lu and Guan Bi couldn't help but look at Shen Xu's brow, where they saw a crystal lotus flower with ice crack patterns, its entire body as clear as cold jade, and the flower's heart seemed to be floating with primordial stars.

Guan Bi was shocked. She kept comparing it with the description and illustrations in the book, and finally came to a conclusion that she could hardly believe: "This is... the Immaculate Dao Seal!"

Before they could examine it closely, the lotus flower between Shen Xu's eyebrows disappeared into his brow.

"Shen Xu, hurry up and go!" While Shen Xu was still in a daze, Jiao Jiao's anxious voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Before he could even react to what was happening, a gigantic, ethereal hand radiating a lustrous jade color instantly obscured the sky in front of him, and the intense pressure emanating from it made him feel the breath of death.

Without hesitation, Shen Xu unleashed his still-immature Lightning Flash, transforming into a streak of purple lightning in an attempt to escape the reach of the giant hand.

But the owner of the giant hand clearly had no intention of letting him go. With a casual wave of his hand, he sent Shen Xu flying against a stone pillar. Shen Xu immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, as if his internal organs had been displaced.

The crowd in the teleportation plaza screamed and scattered in all directions.

Jiaojiao instantly left her original position and flapped her wings in the direction where Shen Xu had been knocked away, arriving beside him in the blink of an eye.

It all happened so fast.

It wasn't until Shen Xu was knocked away that Bai Lu and Guan Bi realized what had just happened.

Seeing Shen Xu coughing up blood in the distance, Bai Lu's heart trembled. She hurriedly took out a blue jade sword and was about to throw it at the jade-colored hand.

“Miss, that giant hand is just an external manifestation. Slaying it won’t solve the problem. The Sword Master only has one Sword Jade,” Guan Bi immediately advised.

"What should I do?"

"Wait!"

Just as the giant hand reached out to grab Shen Xu again, a bright red sword light suddenly shone in the night and then slashed at the giant hand.

A series of cracking sounds rang out as the blazing sword light melted the large hand like snow melting in a volcano.

"Who are you, you fiend, daring to injure my Sword Alliance disciples in my Heavenly Sword City? You're courting death!" A red-robed man engulfed in flames blocked Shen Xu's path, his gaze fixed intently in one direction.

Upon sensing the presence of experts from the Sword Alliance, Bai Lu and Guan Bi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anyone hurt a single hair on your head."

The red-robed man's voice immediately put Shen Xu at ease. He then painfully closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground, his consciousness beginning to blur.

"Shen Xu, it's not that simple. The danger isn't over yet. We need to be prepared to unleash that supernatural power." Jiao Jiao's words made him open his eyes instantly.

The man in the red robe felt a sense of unease. The surrounding space had been sealed off, the teleportation array was unusable, and messages could not be transmitted.

This is something that no one person can do alone. Tianjianshan knows that things here will take time, and he must get through this period.

Just then, a purple alchemy furnace suddenly appeared in the sky, its purple aura soaring into the heavens and radiating light.

The man in red robes was startled. "The Purple Qi Flame Furnace! Old Ghost Dan!"

"Old ghost Dan, you think you can escape after doing something like this in our Heavenly Sword City?"

"While the Venerable Ones haven't discovered you yet, you still have a chance to escape," the red-robed man shouted sternly.

But there was no response from the surroundings. The purple aura in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and from a distance it looked like constantly leaping purple flames, burning half of the sky purple.

The man in the red robe grew increasingly solemn. He knew that since Old Ghost Dan had chosen to expose his natal magic weapon, it meant he no longer cared about what would happen next and only wanted to capture the Sword Alliance disciples behind him to refine pills.

But honestly, he wasn't confident he could block Dan Laogui's next attack, not to mention that his enemies might not be just one at the Transcendent Realm.

Gritting his teeth, the man in red leaped into the sky with his sword. The long sword in his hand shimmered with crimson light, and as his vital energy surged, endless flames shot into the sky, each occupying half of the sky alongside the purple alchemy furnace.

Sensing the red-robed man's departure, Shen Xu cursed the man inwardly for his shamelessness. He had promised to protect him, yet he had confronted the man's magical artifact, essentially selling him out.

However, he has no intention of entrusting his fate to others.

Despite the physical pain, Shen Xu gritted his teeth and once again connected with the golden divine seed in his dantian. A faint golden light gradually enveloped him and Jiao Jiao's bodies.

"Guanbi, should I knock down that alchemy furnace?" Bailu asked anxiously.

"Wait a little longer. Since Old Ghost Dan dared to make a move here, he must have something to rely on. We can't waste this opportunity unless it's extremely critical."

"Little girl, what you have in your hand is too dangerous. How about I keep it for you for a while?" A crimson light bypassed the pale blue water light surrounding Bai Lu and completely subdued the two of them.

Bai Lu and Guan Bi's eyes widened instantly, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Bai Lu immediately tried to crush the sword jade in her hand, but found that her body had completely lost the ability to move.

A woman in a red dress with a face full of scars swayed gracefully as she approached Bai Lu and Guan Bi, then gently touched Bai Lu's face.

"What beautiful and charming faces! It's a pity that they can only be like this. Otherwise, I would really like to take your faces back and keep them as a keepsake!"

"Where did Old Ghost Dan get this thing? It managed to bypass the defenses set up by a Venerable One, and it's so perfectly suited to me."

After sighing, the woman in the red dress glanced at the sword jade in Bai Lu's hand, and a hint of greed instantly appeared in her eyes.

But she quickly suppressed her inappropriate thoughts, knowing that if she dared to harm even a hair on Bai Lu's head, this sword jade would surely kill her without a burial place.

The red-robed man, who was confronting the purple alchemy furnace, changed his expression drastically when he saw the woman in the red dress appear in front of Bai Lu.

He didn't know Shen Xu, but he did know Bai Lu. If anything happened to Bai Lu in front of him, he wouldn't have a good ending.

Looking at Shen Xu, who was enveloped in golden light beneath him, the man in the red robe sighed softly, "Good luck to you!"

Without hesitation, he immediately sheathed his longsword and transformed into a blazing ray of light, flying towards Bai Lu's side. The purple flames from the purple alchemy furnace instantly repelled the remaining flames of the red-robed man in the sky.

Purple flames surged into the sky once more, the purple alchemy furnace displaying its divine might, spewing out endless purple flames that seemed capable of scorching the heavens and earth.

The lid of the alchemy furnace, carved with ancient mythical beasts, suddenly opened, releasing endless hazy purple light that enveloped the heavens and earth, sweeping towards Shen Xu below as if to refine him on the spot.

At this moment, the man in red robes had already arrived beside Bai Lu. His blazing sword light slashed at the woman, but she revealed a mocking smile, neither dodging nor avoiding the sword light as it pierced through her body, then turned into a pool of blood and disappeared under the sword light.

"Oh no! We've been tricked." The man in the red robe immediately turned his gaze to Shen Xu.

Seeing that the endless purple mist had completely enveloped Shen Xu, the man in the red robe clenched his fist.

Now it's too late for him to do anything. How can someone at the Qi Sea Realm withstand the refining power of the Purple Qi Flame Furnace?

"Xu Baifei, since you've already given up on that kid, why bother competing with me again!" The woman's figure materialized once more from the filthy blood.

"You wretched woman, do you really think I can't find your true form?"

"Old man Dan, you're getting senile! You've also gotten involved in opposing the Sword Alliance. Do you have a death wish?"

"How dare I oppose the Sword Alliance? I just wanted to chat with these two ladies for a while. Now their lives are in my hands, so you'd better stand here obediently and not move!"

"You dare!" Xu Baifei shouted sternly.

"Haha... How can you be so sure I wouldn't dare?" The woman's silvery laughter made Xu Baifei's heart tighten.

He knew the woman wouldn't dare lay a hand on Bailu, but he didn't dare gamble either.

At this moment, Bai Lu and Guan Bi were extremely anxious. They wanted to tell Xu Baifei that they were not in danger and urged him to go and protect Shen Xu.

But at this moment, there was nothing they could do, and they couldn't even see what was happening to Shen Xu.

At this moment, Shen Xu's face contorted in the purple mist. He could feel the purple mist constantly eroding his flesh and soul, and there were voids in his soul absorbing the purple mist.

However, his physical body was very weak, and his body was covered with many dark purple lines.

Each purple line was eroding his flesh and blood, then turning into purple mist, causing him to almost faint from the pain.

"Is Jiaojiao alright?" Shen Xu practically growled the question from the bottom of his throat.

"You think I don't want to be fast!" Jiao Jiao's voice was also filled with pain, and the purple mist was also staining its divine feathers and seeping into its flesh and blood.

Hearing Jiaojiao's words, Shen Xu clenched his fists. "This is an irreconcilable feud!"

"Shen Xu, Void-Piercing Divine Light!" Jiao Jiao couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

Shen Xu opened his eyes instantly, his pupils melting into a liquid golden-red vortex, golden Dao patterns flowing continuously in the whites of his eyes, and a spiraling golden-red light shot out and pierced the purple mist.

The golden-red light pierced through the purple mist, shot straight into the purple alchemy furnace through the hole in the furnace.

A dark and subtle spatial rift quietly appeared after the golden-red light, and then vanished into nothingness in an instant.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and the purple alchemy furnace trembled violently, with the purple flames in the sky flickering along with it.

A terrifying pressure swept across the ground, causing some ordinary cultivators to instantly vomit blood and faint on the ground.

Shen Xu's golden-red gaze locked onto the main body of the alchemy furnace, and a huge cyan sea of ​​qi suddenly appeared behind it.

A brilliant golden sun shone brightly in the sky, completely overshadowing the light of the two golden-red suns, dispersing the purple glow of the world, and illuminating the entire sky in a golden hue.

The purple alchemy furnace seemed to sense the threat of the golden sun, and its whole body shone with purple light, with golden Daoist runes appearing on its surface.

A hazy purple aura once again emanated, carrying intense purple flames that surged towards the golden sun like a raging sea.

At that moment, the golden sun transformed into a pair of golden wings. With a powerful spread of its wings, it transformed into a golden crane that blotted out the sun and soared into the heavens, instantly dispelling the purple mist that had swept across the sky.

Shen Xu's body radiated divine light, and golden divine feathers instantly covered the sky and earth. Thousands upon thousands of golden divine feathers pierced through the purple alchemy furnace like golden divine swords.

The dazzling light stretched out in succession, like a golden net covering the sky, completely dispersing the purple mist and completely covering the purple alchemy furnace.

A series of crisp, clanging sounds echoed across the sky. Shen Xu seemed to transform into a golden deity, wielding a sky full of golden divine light and continuously piercing the heavens.

At this moment, everyone in the teleportation plaza was stunned. Xu Baifei and the woman seemed to have completely forgotten their confrontation, staring blankly at the golden light filling the sky, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the shock brought by the golden sword rain, strands of purple divine light suddenly bloomed out from the endless golden light, vibrating outwards from the hole in the alchemy furnace.

Under this tremor, all the golden divine feathers exploded with a bang, turning into a sky full of golden light, forming a blazing golden light curtain that was dazzling and spectacular.

Shen Xu was shocked. The golden light on his body dimmed instantly, blood flowed from his seven orifices, the golden sea of ​​energy behind him collapsed, and he fell straight backward.

The golden light on Jiaojiao's body gradually faded, and then she fell heavily from the sky onto Shen Xu.

"Yuan is forbidden here!"

As a cold female voice resonated in everyone's minds, a huge black book covered the sky, and four blurry yet golden Taoist characters appeared out of thin air on the white pages.

The purple alchemy furnace instantly transformed into a purple streak of light, attempting to escape the book's coverage. However, as the last stroke on the book was completed, the purple alchemy furnace crashed directly to the ground.

The purple light dimmed instantly, as if it had turned into an ordinary alchemy furnace.

As the woman in red completely dissolved into a pool of blood and disappeared from the square, Bai Lu and Guan Bi instantly regained control of their bodies.

When everyone in the teleportation plaza could no longer sense the presence of the Yuan Qi, they all cast awe-inspiring glances at the book in the sky.
