The Lone Grave Elder was alarmed. He immediately chose to flee. If he kept fighting, he would end up losing his life here.
Black corpse qi gathered below his feet, lifting him up into the sky like a rocket. He moved alarmingly fast, shaking off the rebelling Ancient Bronze Corpse General in a split second. Just when he was about to burst through the ceiling, four skulls the size of carriage wheels blocked his path, spitting out rolling Blood Flames of Corpse Incineration.
The darkness and moonlight that had just flooded the hall was purged once more by the firelight. The entire hall creaked and trembled, like an old man with a foot in the grave. Unable to bear its own weight anymore, it began to collapse.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down. Every single floating speck of dust seemed incredibly clear in Li Qingshan’s eyes. He did not go to assist Xiao An.
After undergoing the heavenly tribulation, her strength had evolved by no less than his. A supernatural ability like the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty made it such that she would become even more powerful than other cultivators with every step forward she took.
He directed his gaze towards the sky again. The Golden Pheasant Elder had been scared out of his wits by Li Qingshan’s punch. He was not even bold enough to circle around. He unfurled his wings and flew off into the clouds.
Li Qingshan casually let go of the hilt and shook his hand. He exhaled gently. He leaned backwards by dropping a shoulder as he extended his hand as hard as he could, like a lead ball being thrown into the air. However, his feet showed no intentions of leaving the ground. Instead, they became even more deeply rooted.
Compared to his movements, everything that unfolded in the surroundings seemed like a static frame.
Turbulent daemon qi surged into his arm. Something was released, and his slender hand suddenly turned into the colour of black iron, swelling and extending rapidly.
Three meters, fifteen meters, thirty meters. With his five fingers that were as thick as the hall’s pillars spread out, he reached towards the fleeing golden pheasant in the air.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
The Golden Pheasant Elder was fear-stricken. He felt a terrifying force crush down on him, almost suffocating him. He fell back towards the hall again. In that instant, the comparison between the two of them seemed to turn back to normal. An arrogant rooster was trapped in the hands of a human, delivered to the kitchen. All that remained was fright.
All the disciples of the Green Vine mountain widened their eyes. All of this was something that would only appear in a nightmare. No one could imagine just what kind of monster was hiding within the hall as they stared at the huge, demonic claws.
The hall was extremely spacious, but it was probably extremely restrictive to the monster!
The golden pheasant was forcefully ripped apart by the huge hand. Li Qingshan’s hand had shrunken back to its normal size, gripping the Golden Pheasant Elder’s throat. The elder struck the ground heavily, and golden feathers floated around in the surroundings.
Boom! The shockwave expanded in all directions, speeding up the collapse of the hall. The debris and beams fell with a rumble.
The Golden Pheasant Elder called out, “You can’t kill me! That’ll defy the Treaty of Kings! It’ll lead to war! You’ll suffer a horrid death too! Release me! We have no particularly great grievances!”
Li Qingshan bent over and whispered into his ear with a smile, “I have another name, Niu Juxia!”
The Golden Pheasant Elder’s eyes narrowed. He opened his mouth in an attempt to say something, but he lost that ability forever. Li Qingshan snapped off his neck. Not only had his spine been crushed, but he had been beheaded too. Blood spurted everywhere.
At the same time, Xiao An’s bone sword had already penetrated the Lone Grave Elder through the forehead. His deathy-white face was filled with fear, making him seem no different from the many corpses he had seen in the past.
Having lost the Ancient Bronze Corpse General, the Lone Grave Elder became the weakest among the three. He could not even block a single strike from Xiao An. Flames surged out, and he was incinerated instantly.
Rumble! The hall collapsed completely.
The disciples of the Green Vine mountain looked over. A man wielding a blade stood within the ruins atop the mountain. His scarlet hair surged wildly in the wind as the full moon hovered behind him, blurring his appearance and casting a black silhouette, which made him seem even loftier than the Green Vine mountain below his feet.
The only thing they could clearly make out were a scarlet pair of scorching yet cold eyes.
He raised the ice blade high into the air and moonlight poured over the blade. Murderousness filled the air, as if it wanted to dye the moon bright red too.

Chapter 365: Returning Underground | Legend of the Great Sage
The disciples of the Green Vine mountain staggered backwards. They all turned around and scattered at the same time.
Yu Shukuang was the first one to flee. The Green Vine mountain was already done for. He had no plans on going down with it, but he felt very despaired inside. Even the three elders could not stop him, so just how long could they flee for?
Standing up high, Li Qingshan looked down over them. No matter how quickly they fled, no matter how far they had fled, killing them would only take a single stroke.
His blade was raised, but he never swung down with it, as he saw a familiar person or two among them. He smiled and placed the blade down.
“He’s vanished.” Xiao An emerged from the ruins.
“Are you certain?” Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
“Yep,” Xiao An nodded.
“Fucking hell. He can escape even when he’s bisected. That old bastard must have been playing dead earlier. I have to start defiling corpses in the future!” Li Qingshan cursed.
After the original battle, the Green Vine Elder, who should have been laying on the ground, had actually vanished. Needless to say, he must have used this opportunity to escape.
Now that he thought about it, even regular people would toss around for a bit after they had been bisected. The Green Vine Elder had collapsed like two pieces of wood; he was even better at playing dead than Milliped. Just who was the daemon in this case?
Li Qingshan had used his mirror image to distract the three elders, while the Green Vine Elder had used these two “old friends” of his to distract Li Qingshan.
“Let’s go! We’ll go hunt down that actor!” Li Qingshan sniffed the air and dove back into the hole. According to the smell of blood, the Green Vine Elder had fled through the hole he had created. It would be troublesome if he ran into that simpleton Milliped.
Xiao An tilted her head in thought. What’s an actor?
Within the pitch-black, narrow hole, the Green Vine Elder clutched his abdomen that had been split open completely as he lay on his enlarged vine staff, flying off. The shaking from above gradually grew further away, but he did not relax at all. The terror of the blade was firmly embedded in his heart; he remained shaken.
From the moment Li Qingshan had stabbed the Green Vine Elder with his blade, the Green Vine Elder could feel that it was impossible to emerge victorious from this battle.
This was because he understood something very well; it was not because he was completely unprepared, but because the blade had arrived far too swiftly and viciously. Unless he used a protective technique and called out his protective spiritual artifact beforehand, it would be impossible for him to block it. Dodging would be even less possible.
