her fair cheek with her hand, her face contorted in terror."You wretched thing, blame yourself for your bad luck!"Zhao Si was originally a martial artist, strong and sturdy. He tore open the woman's...As the head of the sect, Duan Feng's arrangements were surprisingly orderly. While somewhat underhanded, they were extremely effective.

She and the senior elder attacked overwhelmingly, at the same time, she let the law enforcement elder lead seven core disciples to set up the Seven Absolute Sword Formation, encircling Ye Bufan in the middle.

The Qi Jue Sword Formation belongs to the unpassed secrets of Jueqing Valley, with immense power. But that's not the worst part; the cruelest thing is having Yi Luo Xiang occupy the position at the center of the formation.

Ye Bufan's mastery of formations could easily break this sword formation, but the prerequisite was to destroy the eye of the formation.

This way, trouble really arose; he couldn't bear to attack his own woman, and could only be trapped by the sword formation, unable to escape for a moment.

"This old woman is really cunning, damn it!"

Ye Bufan cursed Duan Feng in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. This move had indeed hit his weak spot.

On the other hand, although Jue Ran's cultivation has made great progress recently, he is still unable to confront the two peak-level masters head-on.

Under the siege of Duan Feng and the Elder Chuan Gong, he was flustered and completely at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, the three elders of Jueqing Valley surrounded Zhongli.

Zhongli Mei only had the cultivation of the middle stage of Great Ascension, while the other three elders were all at the late stage of Great Ascension. The gap in strength was unimaginable.

Just a week later, his shoulder was pierced by a sword, and he was struck hard in the chest, flying backward with blood spraying everywhere.

After falling to the ground, he struggled to get up, but his injuries were too severe. He coughed out two mouthfuls of blood and then slumped back down in defeat.

But he wasn't too panicked. Instead, he looked at Jue Ran over there and gave a wry smile: "Jue Ran, it's my fortune to be with you in this life, even if I die without regret."

I'll take the first step, and in our next life, let's be husband and wife again!

"No!"

Seeing Zhongli wounded like this, and another elder wielding a sword charging at him, he let out a desperate roar.

Having lived for centuries, she had never felt such anger as now. Seeing Zhongli injured pierced her heart with unbearable pain, as if something precious was about to be lost.

"No, you can't die!"

Another roar erupted, and the true essence within her surged wildly. Under the boundless rage, a sharp crack echoed in her mind, followed by a sudden surge of immense power.

It is incredibly difficult for a Mahayana peak cultivator to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Period. Most of the time, it requires luck and opportunity. The vast majority of cultivators are unable to cross this threshold in their entire lifetimes.

Now, by a twist of fate, the incredibly furious Jue Ran unexpectedly broke through the bottleneck of the Great Perfection stage and entered the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

At the same time, true energy surged within her body, her aura reaching its peak.

"Get out of here!"

With a decisive palm strike, Duan Fenghe and the transmission elder, who had just held the upper hand, were sent flying backwards like broken kites.

Then, with a flash of her figure, she appeared before Zhongli Mei and struck again with a palm strike, sending the sword-wielding elder flying.

"How are you Are you alright I don't want you to die, we still have to live well!"

At this moment, she couldn't care less about anyone else. She reached out and hugged Zhongli Mei tightly in her arms, her two hands gripping him fiercely, not wanting to let go for a single second.

After living for hundreds of years, she finally felt what it meant to be in love, what it meant to truly love.

For this man before her, she was willing to sacrifice everything, give up everything, and even be an enemy to everyone.

"I... I'm fine, I'm not dead yet!"

Zhongli Mei looked at the woman before him, his eyes filled with tenderness, as if he had already forgotten his own pain.

They were tender and affectionate here, while those around them were completely shocked.

Xi Chunyang, Feng Xian Dao, Feng Ru Song, Xia Yuan Mei, these several Great Perfection cultivators all had their eyes wide open, almost popping out of their sockets.

They had all spent at least decades in this realm, none of them able to cross the threshold into the Tribulation Transcendence Period. Yet, before their eyes, Jue Ran had done it with such ease. How could they not be shocked

Xia Yuanmei's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. How could this woman improve her cultivation so quickly Was it because she was ruined

"I've been through so many hardships, why don't I have such good luck and get stuck in the Mahayana stage"

For some, it was shock and envy. For the other disciples of Jueqing Valley, it was a devastating blow to their worldview.

Before this, Jueqing Valley had always taken the ruthless path, rejecting romantic feelings between men and women, rejecting physical intimacy, and rejecting any relationship with men.

There are two reasons the sect gives: first, all men are unfaithful and fickle, incapable of true love.

Second, sexual relations will distract from cultivation and breed demonic thoughts, ultimately ruining a century of practice.

Everyone used to believe these things wholeheartedly, but the facts before our eyes tell a completely different story.

Zhongli's willingness to stand up and sacrifice himself for the people he loves at critical moments, how could such actions be considered heartless and unfaithful

And her decisive performance completely subverted their understanding. After being broken, her cultivation level broke through one after another, becoming the strongest in the entire sect.

If that were all, it would be fine. The most crucial thing is that he made a breakthrough in the tribulation period, something countless people have longed for.

This indicates what It shows that the path of compassion is more beneficial for cultivation than the path of ruthlessness. It means that the previous ideology of Absolute Valley was wrong.

For a moment, everyone just stood there, dumbfounded and clueless.

"What are you waiting for She's been possessed by a demon, her cultivation is only temporary, quickly kill her!"

Duan Feng let out a furious roar, now harboring a death wish for Jue Ran.

If we let him go, the foundation of Absolute Valley would be completely shaken. And according to the sect's tradition, the most powerful cultivator will become the headmaster.

That means she's absolutely beyond saving. Her position as sect leader is completely unstable now.

After she spoke, she suddenly drew her long sword from behind and, together with the master who passed down his skills, attacked Jue Ran.

But in comparison, the two of them were far too weak. After just two moves, they were sent flying away.

Fortunately, at this moment, he was focused solely on Zhongli Mian and did not attack them. Otherwise, their lives would have been in grave danger.

"Master, the situation has changed. It's a bit different from what we expected before."

Xia Yuanyi's expression was stern, "Let's take action together. We must help Jueqing Valley eliminate Juran now."

Otherwise, she'll really stand firm during the Tribulation Period, and then all of us will be finished!

Xi Chunyang's face was gloomy, and he no longer had the arrogance and pride from before.

Originally, he had planned to simply instigate a conflict between the Valley of Desolation and the Absolute, content to watch the drama unfold.

The current situation has exceeded expectations. No one expected that she would be able to reach the tribulation period in one fell swoop.

In this case, if the Cruel Valley fails, these people won't fare any better. They might even face annihilation, after all, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence stage is incredibly powerful.

At the same time, Feng Rusong next to him also began to advise: "Master, now that we have made an enemy of Ju Ran, he will inevitably regard us as enemies in the future. "

"Now that she's just broken through and her cultivation is still unstable, we have a chance. If we wait for her to completely solidify her Nascent Soul stage, we're finished!"

"You're right, if we work together, there's no way we can't kill her."

Feng Xian Dao also realized the severity of the situation. The two major sects had united to cause trouble here. Once they established a firm foothold, they wouldn't let them off lightly. Now, there was only one way: to fight to the death.

He and Feng Rùsong both let out a shout, drew their swords, and charged forward.

On the other side, Xia Yuanmei and Xi Chunyang also joined the fray.

Then an astonishing scene unfolded, the three major sects, with six great cultivators at the peak of Mahayana, all made their move together, charging towards Jue Ran and Zhong Li Mei.'ll twist these bastards' heads off and use them as balls!"To be honest, up to now, none of the four women quite believe that Ye Bufan is really dead.Especially Nalan Yujia and Hu Yaoyao, the two were...
