#272 - We've been locked up for so many years! It's time for us to get out!

Xu Ming unleashed a sword strike.

This seemingly ordinary sword strike was excessively sharp.

It seemed capable of cutting through anything.

Xu Ming's sword strike indeed cleaved the space, even revealing the void.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar,

Xu Ming's sword strike sliced the enormous hand-shaped Dharma idol in the sky into two halves, completely dissolving it into spiritual energy that dissipated in the air.

Holding his long sword, Xu Ming slashed again towards Xia He.

Xia He tossed out a semi-immortal grade glazed golden lotus, blocking it in front of himself.

This glazed golden lotus was obtained by Xia He in the Western Regions and had saved his life in several life-or-death battles.

As a result, this glazed golden lotus was neatly sliced into two halves by Xu Ming.

Even in this critical moment, Xia He was stunned for a moment.

An Jade Purity Realm cultivator, merely wielding a second-grade immortal sword, had actually cut his glazed golden lotus into two halves?

"Could this be his Sword Domain?"

Xia He frowned, guessing in his heart.

Everyone's Sword Domain is different.

Xu Ming's Sword Domain was like compressing all the sword energy and intent into his long sword; his Sword Domain merged with his long sword into one entity.

And the long sword in his hand was like a fire blade forged from lava; everything in the world, in front of this blade, was like a piece of paper!

Xu Ming's Sword Domain was not as flashy as Xu Xuenuo's, with both offense and defense.

However, Xu Ming's Sword Domain brought sharpness to its extreme!

This was truly a single sword breaking through all techniques!

Xia He dared not directly confront this sword.

After creating some distance, Xia He began chanting incantations, and formations appeared beneath Xu Ming's feet.

The Heavenly Mystery Sect's cultivators practice many Taoist arts, but the most famous of the Heavenly Mystery Sect is still formations.

These formations formed instantly.

"Three Thunder Formation", "Minute Fire Formation", "Soul-Seizing Heart-Confusing Formation", one formation after another activated simultaneously.

However, Xu Ming only needed a single sword strike; with one sword strike, each formation was destroyed.

Whether tangible or intangible, to Xu Ming's Sword Domain, everything was as thin as a cicada's wing.

Watching the Heavenly Mystery Mirror getting closer and closer to Three Stone Peak, Xia He knew that time was running out.

Xia He took out a dagger and slashed it across his wrist.

Fresh blood flowed continuously from Xia He's wrist.

However, this blood did not flow to the ground but floated in the air, as if the air was a plane, and Xia He's blood continued to spread, drawing a formation!

"It's time to come out; if I die, what great cause do you still want to achieve? You can just stay in that abyss forever!"

Xia He raised his head and slowly spoke to the empty sky.

Just as Xia He's words landed, this formation drawn with blood hurtled towards the sky.

A crack was torn open in the sky.

From this crack, black mud kept dripping down; when this black mud fell on the ground, it scorched and corroded the earth, and everything that touched this black mud turned into dead matter.

In that crack, an eye appeared.

"Boom!"

The next moment, two hands reached out from this small opening, and then forcefully tore, as if this hole was too small, and it was trying its best to pry this hole open!

The crack in the sky was torn larger and larger.

A huge bull-headed monster poked its head out from the crack; its head was like a mountain.

It looked around, as if suddenly understanding Xia He's meaning, and reached out towards the Heavenly Mystery Mirror.

Xu Ming frowned, feeling uneasy, and used the movement technique taught to him by "Thief", quickly approaching that large hand.

Xu Ming slashed horizontally with his sword.

"Clang!"

A huge sound spread in the sky.

It was like two iron blocks colliding with each other.

Xu Ming narrowed his eyes; it was the first time Xu Ming had cut something so heavy.

However, Xu Ming felt that it was not that his sword was not sharp enough, but that his strength was too small.

Xu Ming gripped his long sword tightly; after the blood energy berserked, Xu Ming used all his strength on this sword; the blood vessels in Xu Ming's arm were constantly bursting, and the Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sword and this evil demon's arm splashed with sparks.

"Get out!"

Xu Ming finally slashed, and the evil demon's thick arm was cut into two pieces by Xu Ming!

"Roar!!!"

This evil demon let out an extremely painful roar.

Green blood poured down, like a waterfall; that arm fell towards the ground.

The sword energy of this sword dissipated in all directions, and mountain peaks were leveled by the sword energy of this sword!

The Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sword in Xu Ming's hand could not bear the burden and turned into iron powder scattered in the air; Xu Ming hung his hands down, no longer having any strength, and could not even lift them.

But fortunately, no one could stop that Heavenly Mystery Mirror anymore.

Under the escort of Wang Xuan's Dharma Body, Xia He could only watch as the Heavenly Mystery Mirror smashed towards Three Stone Peak.

Even at this last moment, Xia He could not figure out what use this Heavenly Mystery Mirror was to them?

Could it be that the Heavenly Mystery Mirror could unlock the formation of Three Stone Peak?

And Xia He didn't need to figure it out.

In Three Stone Peak, Thief raised his head.

In the prison, Xu Cang and the others were almost without blood; as time passed, they were almost at their limit.

But that inexplicable feeling filled Thief's eyes with joy:

"Old Master!" Thief shouted to Xu Cang, "The Heavenly Mystery Mirror is here!"

Thief's voice brought some hope to everyone's eyes.

"I knew that young man was great ~" Zhou Wanfeng chuckled a few times, "After I go out, I must reward him well."

"That kid really didn't disappoint this old man's expectations." Xu Cang's mouth slanted up, "It's time; it's been so many years! We should go out!"

"Let's go out and have a look ~"

Thief said joyfully.

Xu Cang glanced at Thief, put his index finger and middle finger together, and pointed towards Thief's direction.

A sword energy shot into Thief's body.

Thief spat out a mouthful of blood, a happy smile on his face, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, he twisted his head, and then raised his head,

Thief raised his head and spat out a piece of silver.

Xu Cang released three more sword energies.

This piece of silver, wrapped in sword energy, kept breaking through the mountain peak!

In less than three breaths, this piece of silver had already rushed out of this mountain peak, suspended in the sky above Three Stone Peak.

And it was at this time that the Heavenly Mystery Mirror seemed to be entangled by something, its speed getting faster and faster, even breaking away from Wang Xuan's Dharma Body, turning into a stream of light, and smashing towards Three Stone Peak!
