Yuan Qing's expression was as dark as water. He ordered to the Empty Emperor, "Gu Shixun, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the formation!"
The Ming Emperor found it incredible that Yuan Qing would let the Empty Emperor open the formation.
The defensive formation of Mingguang City was set up by him. Besides the Great Emperor, only he could break it.
And Gu Shixun, the Empty Emperor, was only a Three-Star Saint Emperor. He couldn't possibly break his formation.
But when he looked back, he saw the Empty Emperor holding a golden token.
Ming Emperor Shenwei's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out in shock, "That's the formation token! How is that possible?! I clearly only made one and gave it to that brat Chu Ruoxuan... Could it be!"
At this moment, the Ming Emperor suddenly realized that Chu Ruoxuan was in trouble, and his heart was filled with rage.
His gaze towards the Empty Emperor was filled with icy killing intent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Shixun! What did you do to my disciple!"
The Ming Emperor's violent true essence surged out with this sentence, and the surrounding space was shattered by the immense power.
Unexpectedly, the Empty Emperor Gu Shixun sneered triumphantly and mocked, "Not only the formation token, but even your disciple's demonic soul is mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the same Ferocious Demon Buddha that was on Chu Ruoxuan appeared behind Gu Shixun.
The Ferocious Demon Buddha emerged, exuding immense demonic power. The entire Ming Huang City, both inside and out, felt a terrifying aura of slaughter and ferocity, making people tremble.
It was known that the Ferocious Demon Buddha had long been integrated with Chu Ruoxuan's body. Now it appeared on Gu Shixun.
This meant that Chu Ruoxuan's body had become an empty shell.
"Gu Shixun!"
The Ming Emperor was utterly enraged.
Ten thousand sharp sword blades instantly condensed in the void and attacked Gu Shixun.
Void Condensation Sword Technique!
But Yuan Qing would not let the Ming Emperor succeed. He controlled the Dark Night Bat King to unleash ultrasonic vibrations at him.
However, the Ming Emperor's title as the strongest Saint Emperor was not for nothing.
The Dark Night Bat King's ultrasonic vibrations had no effect on the Ming Emperor's Void Condensation Sword Technique.
In desperation, Yuan Qing took out a top-grade True Artifact long sword and used a sword technique filled with killing intent to block the Void Condensation Sword Technique.
Yuan Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He almost let the Ming Emperor disrupt their next move.
Gu Shixun also used this opportunity to use the formation token, opening a large gap in the defensive formation outside Mingguang City.
The demonic creatures outside swarmed in like a feeding frenzy, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws towards the gap.
For a time, screams filled Mingguang City.
Facing so many Nether God demonic creatures, many people in Mingguang City had their legs go weak with fear.
The Ming Emperor's eldest disciple, Nie Li, led other experts at the King Realm and above to fight these Nether God demonic creatures with all their might, covering the escape of other civilians in Mingguang City.
But the number of demonic creatures was too great, and the Saint Emperors were entangled by the Nether Gods, unable to help them.
The Ming Emperor also couldn't spare his hand.
At this moment, Dao Yuan Ming sent a golden-patterned white jade bowl towards Mingguang City.
This white jade bowl instantly magnified countless times and became transparent, directly covering a large number of civilians in Mingguang City.
When the snarling demonic creatures crashed into this white jade bowl, their bodies instantly exploded, turning into countless pieces of flesh.
This scene scared the demonic creatures behind them from charging forward, only able to growl and roar at the humans inside the inverted, giant white jade bowl.
Yuan Qing's eyes widened, and he stared intently at the white jade bowl, gritting his teeth and spitting out two words: "Saint Artifact!"
All the Saint Emperors finally realized that this inconspicuous white jade bowl was actually a Saint Artifact.
Mu Qingqing looked at Dao Yuan Ming, her bright eyes sparkling with curiosity, "Dean, I didn't expect you to hide a Saint Artifact. Why didn't you bring it out sooner?"
"You little girl, of course, you save the best for last," Dao Yuan Ming chuckled.
The Ming Emperor was a bit troubled. When did this old gambler get a Saint Artifact?
He probably scammed it from some major power again, didn't he?
"Old gambler, tell me honestly, where did you get this Saint Artifact? Don't get into trouble again and implicate me," the Ming Emperor asked with a serious expression.
Dao Yuan Ming waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, go, Shenwei, what are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?"
"This is a Saint Artifact I obtained in the Eastern Continent during my Heavenly Venerate stage, and I won it fair and square in a bet."
Seeing Dao Yuan Ming's proud and triumphant look, Shenwei couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion.
There were Saint Artifacts in the Eastern Continent?
In his memory, the Eastern Continent had always been a backward place with thin spiritual energy.
But now, not only had Dao Yuan Ming and the young Saint Emperor beside him appeared, but now a Saint Artifact had also emerged.
This Eastern Continent was too outrageous.
Heavenly Venerate stage, Eastern Continent, betting?
These three keywords immediately made Mu Qingqing think of the Star Emperor.
When she was in the Eastern Continent, the Star Emperor had once complained that his Saint Artifact was won by a junior in the Heavenly Venerate stage.
She didn't expect this Heavenly Venerate stage junior to be Dao Yuan Ming.
She had to admit, Dao Yuan Ming was too good at hiding things.
The original work did not record him using this Saint Artifact.
With the help of the Saint Artifact white jade bowl, Mu Qingqing and the others temporarily did not have to worry about the safety of the civilians in Mingguang City.
Mu Qingqing knew that the first person to deal with was Gu Shixun, who controlled the Ferocious Demon Buddha.
The Ferocious Demon Buddha could increase its strength by absorbing surrounding spiritual energy. And with Gu Shixun's Saint Emperor-level endurance,
This Ferocious Demon Buddha would likely become a powerful existence close to the Great Emperor.
Seeing Mu Qingqing charging towards him, Gu Shixun dared not be careless.
After all, he was facing a peak Saint Emperor. So Gu Shixun ordered three Saint Emperor-level Nether Gods to attack Mu Qingqing.
These three Nether Gods were all at the Five-Star Saint Emperor level in strength.
Gu Shixun believed that even if Mu Qingqing was a peak Saint Emperor, she would not be able to break through the interception of three Five-Star Saint Emperors.
But he forgot that Dao Yuan Ming was still present.
Dao Yuan Ming drew mysterious runes in the void, and the golden characters turned into silk threads that instantly bound the three Nether Gods.
At the same time, he said to Mu Qingqing, "Little girl, you deal with that demon. I'll handle these three pitch-black ghosts."
Hearing this, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but chuckle.
The Dean's words were still so amusing, calling the three Saint Emperor-level Nether Gods "black ghosts."
However, after nodding, Mu Qingqing immediately used the Lingxu step, crossed through space, and in the blink of an eye, appeared in front of Gu Shixun.
"You...!"
Before Gu Shixun could finish speaking, the top-grade True Artifact Xuanyang Sword appeared in Mu Qingqing's hand.
Without using any true meaning, she simply drew her sword.
Gu Shixun's body was instantly cut with a blood groove nearly a meter long, and blood spurted out.
He was sent flying thousands of meters by a single sword before he could even react.
At this moment, Gu Shixun was stunned.
He had clearly obtained the Ferocious Demon Soul, and his strength had already increased to the level of a Five-Star Saint Emperor, but he was defeated by this little girl with one sword.
Even more outrageous was that this little girl had defeated him instantly using only pure sword intent, without using any true essence or true meaning.
