<h4>Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: A Fight to the Death with Swords Drawn, Blood Stains the Divine Pavilion (4th Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    His entire being was firmly trapped within the "grindstone."


    At the same time,


    the grindstone spun, vibrating the space so much that wrinkles appeared.


    And Xiong Xiao let out an extremely shrill and tragic scream.


    "No... I was wrong, please don’t kill..."


    His voice was faint, then quickly disappeared into nothingness.


    All that could be heard throughout the venue were the subtle cracking sounds of bones being ground to dust by that palm.


    Finally,


    after three breaths,


    the palm shadow dissipated.


    And looking at the scene once more, Xiong Xiao’s figure was nowhere to be seen.


    What remained was only the tiny blood mist floating in the air.


    This was all that Xiong Xiao left in this world.


    Under Xue An’sst strike, Xiong Xiao’s spirit had been crushed into nothingness.


    Although this might all seem to have urred slowly, it all happened within the span of just an incense stick’s burning time.


    Yet, in such a fleeting time, Xue An directly annihted Xiong Xiao, the n Leader of the Wutong Divine Sect.


    Such an impressive feat left everyone’s minds nk.


    At the same time,


    Xue An looked towards Qi Sixiang and Bai Tu, whose expressions were changing unpredictably, and smiled faintly, "I’ve had my appetizer, now, it’s time for the main course!"


    Faced with Xue An’s smile, Qi Sixiang and Bai Tu trembled, and then simultaneously roared with fury, "Attack together!"


    At thismand,


    a multitude of strong warriors from both ns and the sect swarmed forward, attacking in unison, trying to bring Xue An to his death.


    Spectacr light burst forth, and his imposing presence filled the air.


    Xue An’s form was like a small boat in a vast ocean,pletely submerged.


    "My lord!" Zhong Anan and the members of the Taiyin Divine n cried out in shock, and then they too rushed forward, attempting to rescue Xue An.


    But at that moment, Qi Xuanfeng, leading a group of his subordinates, blocked their path, and cackled strangely, "Zhong Anan, your lord is now dead without a ce for his corpse. Surrender obediently, and perhaps if I’m in a good mood, I might let you live a few more days. Otherwise, today will be your end!"


    "That’s right! Zhong Anan, don’t be so deluded, just surrender! Xue An, no matter how formidable, didn’t he still die at the hands of our leaders?" Xuan Hun advised earnestly.


    Zhong Anan’s face was cold as ice, she nced at Qi Xuanfeng, then looked towards the smug Xuan Hun and said deliberately, "You may be content to be a dog, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is willing!"


    "You..." Xuan Hun’s face changed and he said with a venomous look, "Zhong Anan, don’t regret refusing this generous offer, and besides, if you’re not willing to surrender, who’s to say that these n members behind you aren’t?"


    Clearly, Xuan Hun was trying to sow discord.


    But Zhong Anan couldn’t help but be startled. What if the people behind her also harbored different intentions?


    Upon this thought, she involuntarily turned around to look at everyone.


    But all the Taiyin Divine n members present bowed solemnly, "n Leader, we are... ready to fight to the death!"


    Their voices echoed throughout the entire Skyfire Divine Pce, causing Xuan Hun’s face to turn extremely ugly.


    Zhong Anan was also stunned, then she felt a surge of emotion, inhaled deeply, and dered with a loudugh, "Good! This is what my people of the Taiyin n should be like!"


    With that, she slowly drew the sword that Mu Guqing had passed to her and called out in a cold voice, "Taiyin Divine n... draw your swords!"


    The sound of swords being drawn rose, and amidst the swirling sword lights, theplexions of Qi Xuanfeng and Xuan Hun turned exceedingly ugly.


    "Hmph, truly stubborn fools! Attack!" Qi Xuanfengmanded with a cold shout.


    Numerous strongbatants rushed forward.


    Everyone in the Skyfire Divine Pce felt that the situation was now definite.


    Because Xue An had already been surrounded and locked down by countless strong opponents, it was unlikely he would escape.


    As for the Taiyin Divine n, they were not even considered a threat.


    Thus, there were far more attackers against the Taiyin Divine n than against Xue An because everyone prefers to pick on the weaker ones.


    What’s more, the Taiyin Divine n was all delicate women, and it was seen as an advantage to get away with even the slightest gain.


    At least that’s what the people charging at the forefront thought, but soon, they paid a heavy price for their assumptions.


    The members of the Taiyin Deity n stood in formation with their swords, not striking out prematurely.


    It wasn’t until these attackers had closed in that Zhong Anan suddenly shouted, "Attack!"


    At thatmand,


    all the Taiyin n members swung their swords in unison, sword light shing like rain, followed by a chorus of screams.


    Those who were part of the first wave of attackers were all in by the sword.


    "Advance!" Zhong Ananmanded.


    The people of the Taiyin Deity n kept their formation and moved forward.


    Everywhere they passed, people couldn’t help but step back in shock.


    Qi Xuanfeng was furious, "Trash, all of you are trash!"


    With that, he prepared to take action himself.


    Just then, a voice from behind him, from Bai Chi of the Ancient Sword Divine n, came through.


    "Elder brother Qi, hold your temper, leave this woman to me!"


    Qi Xuanfeng paused slightly, "Brother Bai, you..."


    "Don’t worry, when ites to swordy, our Ancient Sword Divine n is the progenitor!" Bai Chi said with full confidence. He then looked at the long sword held by Zhong Anan with a greedy face.


    He recognized at a nce that this was the long sword Mu Guqing had relied on before his death.


    The quality of the sword was so enticing that it made him covetous, naturally wanting to seize it for himself.


    So he sneered, and then his figure halted, and he disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhong Anan, shing down with a sinister smile.


    A dazzling sword light thundered down with incredible speed, not giving anyone time to react.


    Bai Chi was utterly confident in this sword strike, convinced that Zhong Anan had no chance of surviving.


    Because at a nce, he could tell that Zhong Anan’s Sword Dao Cultivation was quite ordinary.


    Indeed.


    But as Zhong Anan’s figure shook, although she wanted to dodge, the sword light had already reached above her head.


    A look of unwillingness shed in Zhong Anan’s eyes.


    Was she really unable to change this oue? Well, at least she had fought, she thought to herself, dying without regrets.


    With this thought, a look of relief appeared on Zhong Anan’s face.


    But just as the sword was about to strike Zhong Anan’s head,


    a seemingly insignificant sword thread suddenly shot out from above Zhong Anan’s head and leisurely met Bai Chi’s shing sword.


    There was no sound.


    Not even any extra disturbance.


    In the face of this fine thread of sword energy, Bai Chi’s sword strike was as if dirt had encountered gold,pletely unable to resist, and was directly annihted.


    Bai Chi’s body shook, and he looked at the sword thread with a look of utter astonishment, opening his mouth as if to shout something.


    But at that moment, the sword thread turned into a streak of light and pierced straight through his mouth.


    There was a muffled boom, and arge hole exploded out of the back of Bai Chi’s head, with the sword thread flying out from it and then sweeping across the air.


    Amid muffled thuds, all the powerhouses assaulting the Taiyin Deity n stood rooted to the spot.


    The situation came to a sudden standstill.


    Those watching were all stunned, not understanding what had happened.


    Only in Bai Chi’s eyes did a deep reverence and fear emerge, his lips moved as if trying to say something, but in the next instant, his gaze dimmed.


    And then, his vitality waspletely cut off, and he died, his soul utterly extinguished.


    At the same time,


    a bizarre and terrifying scene unfolded before everyone.


    All the attackers of the Taiyin Deity n stood in ce with a dazed expression. A thin line of blood suddenly appeared on their throats, which rapidly expanded, and then, in the next instant, the heads of these strong personages soared into the air.


    As blood spurted, these warriors also perished, their bodies split in two.
