Although at this moment, Ye Qing used the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, his own strength and sword intent were greatly enhanced.
However, he was still suppressed by the Holy King and could only defend himself with difficulty, unable to fight back at all.
After all, the strength of the Holy King far exceeds that of an ordinary Immortal King and has reached the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
And now, Ye Qing is only one step away from becoming the Immortal King.
For immortals, the gap between one major realm is definitely greater than the gap between immortals and mortals in the ascending realm.
Therefore, even though his surprise attack just now caused significant damage to the Holy King, and even though he had the advantage in the Hongmeng world, he was only barely qualified to fight him.
Looking at the sword energy colliding in the air, it was gradually swallowed up by the evil spirit.
Bai Xian'er and the Mountain God both saw that Ye Qing was suppressed by the Saint King, and their faces showed solemn expressions.
"No, if this continues, my brother will definitely not be my opponent!"
The mountain god gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Sister Xian'er, we have to go help Big Brother!"
"Indeed, we cannot stand idly by here..."
Bai Xian'er felt somewhat powerless and murmured, "But...how can we help?"
"The Saint King is so powerful that he is not much weaker than my father."
"Now that he has been severely injured by the surprise attack, he is still able to suppress his benefactor."
"How can we help our benefactor with our strength..."
The mountain god pondered for a long time, and said resolutely, "Sister Xian'er, I have a solution!"
"Oh?"
Bai Xian'er asked hurriedly, "Mountain God, what countermeasures do you have? Tell me quickly!"
The mountain god said solemnly, "I have a secret technique called the Soul Prisoner Vine. I can summon a soul vine to attack the soul directly at the cost of burning my life."
"But with my cultivation level, I'm afraid it's not enough to control the Holy King."
"So, I would like to ask Sister Xian'er to lend me some of your power so that I can control the Holy King and buy a moment of opportunity for my brother!"
"This……"
Hearing this, Bai Xian'er couldn't help but look embarrassed, "I'll lend you some strength, of course it's no problem."
"But using this move will cost you your life."
"What if too much life is burned and you are forever...what should I do?"
The mountain god grinned and said casually, "Sister Xian'er, since I proposed this plan, I have already put life and death aside."
"A hero like you, big brother, is rare in history and is hard to come by."
"It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to fight alongside such a hero and change the order of the ancient forbidden land that has lasted for countless reincarnations!"
"Now we are only one step away from killing the Holy King."
"Even if I sacrifice my life, what's the harm?"
Bai Xian'er was silent for a while, then nodded heavily, "Okay!"
"Then I will transfer all my immortal power to you."
"I beg you to give it a try and help your benefactor!"
……
While Bai Xian'er was communicating with the Mountain God, Ye Qing was no longer able to withstand the full-force bombardment of the Saint King.
He had to stop the attack and instead use the power of the Immortal Sword Jingyun to defend himself.
The Holy King raised his chin slightly and said with a joking smile, "It is quite remarkable for an ant like you to be able to hold out for so long under my full-strength attack."
"Unfortunately, your struggle ends here."
After saying that, the Holy King's figure became ethereal and turned into a dark black light, mixed in with the thousands of black lights, and bombarded Ye Qing. The moment it rushed in front of Ye Qing, the black light turned into the Holy King's original body again.
All the other black beams in the surroundings also gathered in the Saint King's palm in an instant and transformed into a long sword as black as ink.
"Hunting souls and killing lives!"
The terrifying black knife roared out, carrying with it the power to annihilate all things, and slammed towards Ye Qing like a mountain pressing down on his head.
Ye Qing looked solemn, and hurriedly poured his immortal power into forming a shield to resist.
However, the moment the shield touched the black knife, Ye Qing instantly felt as if millions of tons of pressure were falling on him.
His pupils suddenly shrank, his internal organs were shaken, and a trace of scarlet blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Although he withstood the knife light for a moment, he was not killed by this soul-hunting move, which directly hunted his soul.
However, the Saint King's powerful strength still blasted him directly from mid-air to the ground, creating a three-foot-deep pit in the clouds.
Thick smoke drifted out, and its powerful force spread in all directions, causing the surrounding clouds and mist to tremble.
The Holy King narrowed his eyes slightly and saw through the knife light directly and accurately that Ye Qing in the smoke was seriously injured and covered in blood.
"Ant, it's time to end it!"
The Holy King raised a ferocious smile and without giving Ye Qing any chance to breathe, he swooped down with the black knife in his hand.
Just as he was about to approach Ye Qing and kill him directly.
A vine with white light surging in it came slamming down from below like a poisonous snake.
The Holy King was caught off guard, and his body, pierced by the vines, was frozen in mid-air.
"what?!"
There was a hint of surprise in the Saint King's eyes. He turned his head and took a closer look, and immediately a murderous look appeared on his face.
At the other end of the vine was Bai Xianer, holding the mountain god in her palms.
At this moment, white light burst out from Bai Xianer's hands, and she poured all her immortal power into the body of the mountain god.
The appearance of the mountain god also underwent a drastic change.
He transformed from a fruit into a white flower, like an unfolding snow lotus, exuding a strong sense of holiness.
This vine of white light emerged from the pistil of the snow lotus and caught him off guard.
"Mountain God, you are amazing."
The Saint King laughed jokingly, "In order to help this mortal, you even risked your life to use the Soul-Imprisoning Sky Vine to control me."
"But do you think it's worth it?"
"That ant has been destroyed by me and can only lie in the pit and wait to die."
"Even if you burn up all your lifespan, you can only delay his demise for a moment."
"After I kill him, I will imprison the souls of the three of you forever in my Flame God Furnace, and let you endure eternal pain that is worse than death."
"When that time comes, don't regret your choice today."
Facing the Saint King's playful threat, the Mountain God was not afraid at all and laughed coldly, "Oh, so what?"
"I am Big Brother's trusted comrade-in-arms. Why should I be afraid of a mere Saint King like you?"
"boom!!!"
As the Saint King finished speaking, just as he was looking disdainful, bursts of white light suddenly burst out from the pit nearby.
The Holy King was slightly startled, paused for breath, and suddenly turned his head to take a closer look.
Ye Qing, who had just been lying motionless in the pit, miraculously stood up again.
He took staggering steps, gritted his teeth, stepped on the clouds, leaped with all his might, and rushed into the air again. (End of this chapter)
