Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Chapter 254 Battle

"Demon Lord, enough nonsense!" Xie Wanning's face darkened as she suppressed her reluctance.

She kept reminding herself that her sister had fallen into demonic possession and that she could not regard the person in front of her as Xie Wanxun, but only as the Demon Lord.

Xie Wanxun lowered her head, concealing the smile in her eyes.

"You're courting death." The lacquered wooden sword appeared in Xie Wanxun's hand, and she leaped into the air.

At the summit of the Forgotten River Cliff, where the winds and clouds shifted dramatically, the two stood facing each other, an epic battle about to erupt. A biting wind howled past, as if setting the stage for this fateful duel.

Xie Wanning was dressed in white, her body surrounded by a chilling aura. The Luoze sword in her hand emitted a cold light, and the thin ice on the blade reflected a cold, eerie glow.

Xie Wanxun's black robes fluttered, demonic energy surged, and the sword in his hand was entwined with demonic energy, eerie and powerful; the vines behind him were like lurking ferocious beasts, ready to pounce.

In an instant, Xie Wanxun launched the first attack, his figure rushing towards Xie Wanning like a ghost. The demonic sword in his hand was wrapped in rolling demonic energy, surging like a black raging tide. At the same time, several vines flew out from all directions, like nimble black snakes, winding towards the opponent's vitals.

Xie Wanning remained calm and composed, her expression cold and stern. She wielded the Luoze Sword, unleashing a chilling sword aura that instantly cleaved the oncoming demonic energy. Then, with lightning speed, she wielded her sword, countless icicles raining down upon Xie Wanxun and the rampant vines amidst the flashing sword shadows.

"interesting."

Xie Wanxun snorted coldly, swinging her lacquered wooden sword repeatedly to shatter the flying ice shards. At the same time, she manipulated the vines to twist and turn sharply, skillfully avoiding the ice shards, and continued to approach Xie Wanning like an arrow released from a bow. Wherever the vines passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a "sizzling" sound.

Seeing this, Xie Wanning took to the air and, with the help of the power of ice, condensed a huge ice cloud in mid-air. Within the ice cloud, countless ice swords appeared and disappeared.

"fall!"

With a low shout, the ice sword rained down on Xie Wanxun like a meteor.

Undeterred, Xie Wanxun unleashed a torrent of demonic energy, forming a black shield that deflected the ice swords. Taking advantage of a lull in Xie Wanning's attacks, she plunged the demonic sword into the ground, her hands swiftly forming hand seals. In an instant, the earth trembled, and countless vines burst forth from the ground, hurtling towards Xie Wanning.

Xie Wanning frowned, turned in mid-air, and the Luoze Sword in her hand burst out with dazzling light, instantly freezing the surrounding air into a thick layer of ice.

"Break the ice!"

Using the ice as a shield, she unleashed fierce sword techniques. Each strike carried the power of ice, severing the approaching vines. The severed vines instantly froze into ice shards, dissipating into the air.

A hint of a smile flashed in Xie Wanxun's eyes. She abruptly drew her demonic sword, her demonic energy swirling wildly around her, forming a massive black vortex. She leaped into the vortex, the lacquered wooden sword carrying earth-shattering power as it slashed towards Xie Wanning. At the same time, the vines that hadn't been severed, nourished by the demonic energy, grew even thicker and stronger, coiling upwards like dragons, attacking Xie Wanning alongside the lacquered wooden sword.

Xie Wanning felt unprecedented pressure. She gathered all her spiritual power into the immortal sword, and the sword shone brightly.

"Freeze!"

The surrounding ice rapidly spread, forming a massive ice cage that trapped her, Xie Wanxun, and the vines within. Inside this ice cage, Xie Wanning unleashed her strongest sword technique, countless ice swords spinning rapidly around her before hurtling towards Xie Wanxun like a storm.

The two forces clashed fiercely within the icy cage, flashing light and producing a deafening roar. Their swords clashed, producing a piercing metallic clang; vines and ice spikes intertwined, sending ice shards and fragments of vine flying everywhere. The entire battlefield was ravaged by the immense power, space itself warped, and it seemed poised to collapse at any moment.

The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows, and neither could gain the upper hand.

"Domain, open!" Xie Wanning unleashed a chilling domain around her.

"Demon Realm, open!" Demonic energy spread out, carrying rampant vines, surging towards the opponent.

"boom!"

The deafening explosion shook the Wangchuan Cliff.

Birds scattered, and trees collapsed.

Xie Wanning struggled to her feet. She looked around but couldn't find Xie Wanxun.

"Demon Lord?" Xie Wanning called out, her voice filled with worry.

Receiving no response, Xie Wanning called out anxiously, "Wanxun, where are you? Sister, sister, are you alright?"

Could it be that my sister couldn't withstand the impact just now?

Xie Wanning felt a sudden panic, as if a hand had gripped her heart tightly, a sharp pain spreading throughout her body, and her hands began to tremble. Her lips also trembled involuntarily, unable to conceal her inner turmoil.

"Sister, don't scare me, where are you?" Xie Wanning clearly felt a sharp panic coming from deep in her left chest, which made her unable to help but gently press her hand against her chest, trying to calm her uneasy mood.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Chirp!"

The Crimson Flame Bird rushed to Xie Wanning and nestled close to her.

"Xiao Chi, you're alright!" Xie Wanning exclaimed in surprise.

"Chirp!"

The Crimson Flame Bird flapped its wings, let out two light chirps, and then disappeared from Xie Wanning's sight.

It flew towards the River of Oblivion.

"Xiao Chi, where are you going?" Xie Wanning hurriedly chased after him, but stopped at the edge of the cliff.

Below the cliff, the fog was so thick that nothing could be seen clearly.

Xie Wanning took out the Luoze Sword to prepare to fly, but found that the Luoze Sword was suppressed by a force and could not fly at all.

What lies beneath the cliff?

Xie Wanning took a deep breath, planted the Luoze sword in the ground, and stood there, looking down at the misty bottom of the cliff.

There must be a connection between Wangchuan Cliff, the Demon Lord of Wangchuan, and Xie Wanxun.

Xie Wanning closed her eyes and resolutely took a step forward. Her body instantly lost its balance and plummeted straight down the cliff.

The wind whistled past her ears, like a horde of demons screaming. Xie Wanning's heart leaped into her throat, pounding wildly as if it would burst from her chest.

Was she wrong?

Just as Xie Wanning was filled with despair, thinking she was about to die on the cliff, a strong gust of air suddenly surged up from below, slowing her fall.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and held her firmly. Xie Wanning felt her body suddenly freeze, and the sound of the wind in her ears instantly diminished.

She slowly opened her tightly closed eyes and saw a familiar face filled with concern.

There was no panic in Xie Wanxun's eyes, as if catching her falling from the cliff was just a routine thing.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright, you little fool." The calm voice entered Xie Wan Ning's ears like a reassuring pill, gradually calming her wildly beating heart.

"elder sister?"

"It's me. What's wrong? Did you guess it?"

"No, I made the right bet."
