Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 447: Only a Dead Enemy is a Good Enemy

Lin Fengmian gathered all his strength and swung the Zhen Yuan Sword in his hand with a sweeping motion.

“Sky-Splitting Slash!”

A sharp surge of sword energy erupted, tearing through the void as it shot straight towards Moon Shadow Blade Emperor.

Moon Shadow Blade Emperor had thoroughly studied Lin Fengmian and was well aware of his techniques.

The giant mantis swung its two blade arms, carrying an overwhelming sword intent that instantly shattered the void.

Sword energy and blade light intertwined, spiritual energy churned, and it seemed as though heaven and earth would be torn apart by their battle.

Moon Shadow Blade Emperor barely managed to block the attack, but before he could catch his breath, Luo Xue, who was controlling the divine aspect of the Eight Desolations Fiendgod, suddenly launched her own attack.

“Thunder Marsh!”

Thunder erupted from all directions, intertwining with sword intent to form a massive vortex that instantly engulfed him.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Fengmian struck while the iron was hot. His massive sword carried boundless power, as if he wanted to split the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor in half.

“Moonlit Waters!”

Under the glow of the bright moon, the blade-armed mantis suddenly vanished from its original position, eerily reappearing in a different spot.

Its translucent wings flapped, and it transformed into a series of afterimages, darting across the sky at an incredible speed.

“Boy, do you think you can kill me? Not so easy!”

Lin Fengmian snorted coldly. “Little Mantis, you’re quite the dodger. Let’s see how many times you can dodge!”

The Eight Desolations Fiendgod spread its sword-like wings, transforming into a streak of light as it pursued relentlessly, matching the praying mantis’s speed with its own.

At first, Moon Shadow Blade Emperor clashed head-on with Lin Fengmian, but he soon learned his lesson and focused on stalling for time. Even so, he found himself in constant peril.

His figure was battered, his blade arms covered in wounds, and his body drenched in blood, like a lone boat struggling against the raging waves.

Moon Shadow Blade Emperor was utterly frustrated. His avatar was inherently tricky, with natural advantages in speed and attack frequency.

But now, it seemed that he had met his match. Although Lin Fengmian couldn’t match his speed, he could still teleport and shift his position.

What was even more infuriating was that Lin Fengmian’s attack speed wasn’t slow either, and with eight arms, he was hammering away relentlessly.

Moon Shadow Blade Emperor was beaten to a pulp. He couldn’t outfly Lin Fengmian, and he couldn’t outfight him either.

If it weren’t for his bizarre teleportation technique, he would have already been cut down by Lin Fengmian’s sword, becoming another victim.

Lin Fengmian, growing impatient with the prolonged battle, muttered, “This old guy is way too slippery.”

At this moment, dark clouds rolled in from the distance, accompanied by an overwhelming pressure. The Heavenly Fiend Sovereign was finally approaching!

Moon Shadow Blade Emperor couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief and laughed heartily. “Boy, your time is up!”

“Little Mantis, prepare to die!”

The four heads of the Eight Desolations Fiendgod let out a deafening roar before suddenly dissolving into mist.

In an instant, dark clouds darkened the sky, obscuring the bright moon.

At the same time, Lin Fengmian abruptly appeared in front of the blade-armed mantis and swung his sword horizontally.

With the moonlight blocked, the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor couldn’t teleport away and panicked.

Fearing that the sword might be dodged, Lin Fengmian used the flat of his sword to deliver a crushing blow.

Moon Shadow Blade Emperor had never seen such a massive “fly swatter” before. In an instant, he was struck down and sent crashing into the mountains below.

Not one to let up, Lin Fengmian spread out his sword-like wings and unleashed a barrage of sword feathers.

Moon Shadow Blade Emperor stood up quickly, his two blade arms moving so fast that they became a blur. Blade energy surrounded him, shattering all the incoming feathers.

But he was also pinned down by the seemingly endless barrage of sword energy, unable to move.

Lin Fengmian’s killing intent flared, and with one swing of his Zhen Yuan sword, he brought it down with the force of a thousand jun.

“Die now!”

The blade-armed mantis crossed its two blades, barely managing to block the strike, but the force drove it deep into the ground.

“Annihilation Abyss, Burial of the Immortals!”

Lin Fengmian and Luo Xue unleashed their ultimate techniques at the same time. While the Annihilation Abyss couldn’t fully suck the blade-armed mantis into it, it still trapped it in place.

The lightning summoned by Luo Xue from all directions surged into the mantis’s body, causing the accumulated sword energy and thunder within it to grow exponentially.

“Die!”

Lin Fengmian unleashed the thunder inside the mantis’s body. With a deafening explosion, endless bolts of lightning erupted from within the blade-armed mantis, scattering in all directions.

The massive mantis avatar shattered, and the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor reverted to his original form, blood pouring from his mouth.

Now wielding his twin blades, blood seeped from his arms and coated the blades as he roared, “Blood Moon Blades!”

A dense barrage of blood-red blade light filled the sky, forcing Lin Fengmian, who had been about to press his advantage, to halt his advance.

The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor didn’t dare to linger for a moment. He turned around and fled, unable to resist any longer.

With his avatar destroyed and his domain shattered, he had fallen an entire realm in strength.

“Take this!”

Lin Fengmian hurled his sword straight at the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor, who was terrified out of his wits.

“Boy, how dare you!”

Just as the sword was about to strike him down, a massive hand descended from the sky and caught the Zhen Yuan Sword.

The colossal hand, which still had immense momentum, swung towards Lin Fengmian.

The Eight Desolations Fiendgod transformed by Lin Fengmian let out a deafening roar. Its sword-like wings shot into the sky, and its eight arms swung out to block the incoming fist.

The fist was deflected, but the avatar was left riddled with cracks, with spiritual light spilling out from the cracks.

Lin Fengmian retrieved the Zhen Yuan sword and glanced reluctantly at Moon Shadow Blade Emperor.

“Moon Shadow, if you dare to oppose me again, you’d better hide in the Heavenly Fiend Hall for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!”

“Sky-Splitting Slash!”

With a fierce swing of his sword, Lin Fengmian tore open a rift in space and leaped into it without looking back.

The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor was stunned. This was the chaotic emptiness of space! Had he just jumped in?

Wasn’t that suicidal?

Moments later, a towering figure descended from the sky, its overwhelming pressure causing the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor to tremble.

Wielding the Heavenly Opening Axe, the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign tore through the void once more. Seeing the empty chaos within, he was consumed by rage.

“Damn it!”

His furious roar echoed like the wrath of the heavens, and boundless divine power crashed down.

The surrounding mountains were instantly flattened by the unparalleled power, leaving behind a cloud of dust and a newly formed plain.

Western Desert

The battle was already decided. Even if Moon Shadow Blade Emperor returned, he couldn’t turn the tide.

Jun Yunshang, standing on the city walls, stopped beating the war drum. Her red robes fluttered in the night wind as if stained with endless blood.

At some point, Jun Aoshi, covered in blood, quietly returned to her side and knelt down with his sword in his hand.

“My lady, I have fulfilled my duty and returned alive.”

Jun Yunshang nodded softly, her gaze distant as she worried about Lin Fengmian’s situation.

Jun Aoshi reassured her, “I don’t know how he did it, but he’ll be fine.”

Jun Yunshang nodded firmly. “I know. He never loses.”

Zhao Ban approached quietly and asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty, we’ve captured over twenty thousand cultivators. How should we deal with them?”

A flicker of pity crossed Jun Yunshang’s eyes, but she hardened her heart.

She slowly closed her beautiful eyes, her voice trembling but resolute. “Spare no one. Kill them all, and make sure it’s done cleanly.”

Even if these cultivators were kept as prisoners, she couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t be reclaimed if the Heavenly Fiend Hall exerted pressure.

In that case, it was better to eliminate them all and deny everything later.

This battle had to strike such fear into the Moon Shadow Dynasty that they would never dare to fight back, thus ensuring a decisive victory.

As Young Master Ye had said, only dead enemies are good enemies.
