Chapter 491: Chapter 151: Ten Thousand Swords Lingering Death

Sure, here is the translation of the Chinese text:

```html

Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan saw that Xia Qinglian had only recovered to the Eighth Layer of Golden Core cultivation, and their fear dissipated more than half.

The two stood side by side, instantly returning from deadly enemies to fellow righteous path cultivators fighting for the world!

They were both at the Eighth Layer of Nascent Soul. Even if they were injured from fighting each other earlier, the combined strength of the two would be equivalent to a Nascent Soul Peak.

"Did you kill Zheng Shengmo?!"

Wei Shouyuan suddenly asked Xia Qinglian.

With an expressionless face, Xia Qinglian raised her hand, a Red Flame Fox skin flew into the air, and their faces changed:

"It really is you!"

"You disguised yourself as the Red Flame Fox to kill Zheng Shengmo!"

"I thought something was off; no matter how lustful, Zheng Shengmo would not have violated a normal steward disciple. Is Lin Qingchou also a remnant of the Demon Sect?"

"But why did Ye Xiyue also help you deceive us?"

The two thought of many things at once, but still could not understand why Ye Xiyue would become Xia Qinglian’s accomplice.

Xia Qinglian retrieved the Red Flame Fox skin, and said calmly, "What use is knowing so much when you’re about to die?"

Her beauty unrivaled, her cold peach blossom eyes exuded endless murderous intent, intimidating those who dared not look directly.

Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan instinctively stepped back half a step, Shi Shuhong shouted:

"Demoness! If your cultivation had recovered, we certainly would not be your match. But it’s a pity you’re so eager for revenge, daring to emerge with just the Eighth Layer of Golden Core!"

"Zheng Shengmo must have been attacked by your design. Today, we are not so easily tricked by you!"

Wei Shouyuan also shouted loudly, "Demoness! That day you faked death to escape, making your master die for you. Today you deliver yourself into our hands, we shall kill you and completely extinguish the Demon Sect!"

While speaking, they secretly activated their spiritual power, Shi Shuhong shouted, "Attack!"

Suddenly, more than ten Upper Grade magical artifacts appeared around Wei Shouyuan, immediately flying toward Xia Qinglian, blocking all escape routes.

Shi Shuhong also had a giant sword in his hand, as he swung it, the giant sword suddenly became mountain-sized, with a sound of wind and thunder, slashing toward Xia Qinglian!

The killing intent soared to the sky, earth shook, mountains trembled!

The combined strike of two Nascent Soul Eighth Layers is something even a Nascent Soul Peak great cultivator dares not take directly.

Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong’s faces twisted grimly as they put forth their full strength, determined to kill this witch in one move without giving her any chance.

They were cautious enough; using such full force by two Nascent Souls against one Golden Core would be astonishing if spoken of.

However, in the next moment, those ten plus magical artifacts imprisoning Xia Qinglian were burning.

The mountain-sized giant sword halted over Xia Qinglian’s head, unable to move an inch further.

Soon, the ten plus magical artifacts burned into ashes, falling as flying dust.

The entire sword body of the mountain-sized giant sword was covered by a thick layer of frost, strangely suspended in mid-air.

"Li Fire!"

"Profound Ice!"

Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong’s eyes widened as if experiencing a nightmare.

Xia Qinglian’s Li Fire and Profound Ice, they knew well; if Xia Qinglian were at her peak, they wouldn’t endure a single strike.

Yet now Xia Qinglian’s Li Fire and Profound Ice only wasted their magical artifacts.

This meant Xia Qinglian indeed only regained the Eighth Layer of Golden Core!

They truly had hope of surviving!

"Magical artifacts, I still have magical artifacts! I will exhaust you to death!"

"Wei Shouyuan, bring out all your magical treasures, don’t hide them anymore!"

They went all out, emptying all their belongings, surrounding themselves with Upper Grade magical artifacts, including several Ancient Immortal Artifacts!

They laid everything on the line, with such an array, they didn’t believe an Eighth Layer Golden Core cultivator could do anything to them!

Crack.

A soft sound suddenly arose.

Shi Shuhong pointed at Wei Shouyuan, "Your sword... is freezing?"

Wei Shouyuan lowered his head to see a layer of frost over his Immortal Sword.

He found all surrounding magical artifacts also had frost.

"No, not just magical artifacts!"

"I cannot move!"

Both of them quickly froze over with a thick layer of frost.

If Xia Qinglian were at Nascent Soul Peak, they would already be dead.

Nevertheless, the Profound Ice and Li Fire Technique at Golden Core Eighth Layer wasn’t that powerful; Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong struggled desperately, quickly breaking free from the frost.

For the first time, they could crack Xia Qinglian’s Profound Ice!

Confidence surged in them, Shi Shuhong laughed loudly, "Junior Brother Wei, today our names shall go down in history!"

Wei Shouyuan laughed, "Xia Qinglian, your Profound Ice has been broken, now let’s see what else you have!"

Suddenly, the sunny sky turned dark.

A full moon appeared mid-air.

No, it was a huge circular array!

Countless flying swords appeared within the array, humming, gathering like thunder.

"Thousand Sword Array?"

"No, not just a thousand swords! It’s..."

Shi Shuhong looked up at the massive array, with countless dense flying swords, his voice trembling:

"Ten Thousand Swords Array!!"

Wei Shouyuan showed fear, "She knows the Ten Thousand Swords Array? Isn’t that something only Ninth Grade Array Masters can use?!"

Shi Shuhong’s eyes filled with bloodshot veins, "We cannot let this array form, quickly, kill her!"

But they froze again with a layer of frost. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The massive array in the air stopped moving, then thousands of flying swords flew out, turning into a heavenly sword rain, falling on Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan!

The sword array is the ultimate slaughter array.

Among sword arrays, the Ten Thousand Swords Array is the strongest!

Usually, the Ten Thousand Swords Array is used in massive battles between major sects, like at this moment encountering just two people, but for the first time in several thousand years!

Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan struggled desperately to shatter the inhibiting frost.

Yet in the next instant.

Ten Thousand Swords has arrived!

"Quick, block it!!!"

All their artifacts flew up, soon crushed by the terrifying swords, leaving them staring helplessly at numerous chilling sword tips stabbing down.

They invoked all spiritual energy, fighting with all they had, but their spiritual energy quickly exhausted.

Ah!!

Ah!!!

As the hideous screams sounded, countless sword tips pierced their bodies.

But those flying swords didn’t kill immediately; instead, they transformed stabbing to slicing, beginning to shave their flesh piece by piece.

Xia Qinglian watched them expressionlessly, speaking slowly:

"Little Orange is from Xiaohu Village under Cyan Lotus Mountain, her mother suffered a difficult birth, Senior Sister Li helped deliver, later Little Orange recognized Senior Sister Li as a godmother."

"That day Little Orange’s sixth birthday, she came up the mountain wanting to celebrate with her godmother, you captured her, forced her to reveal Cyan Lotus Mountain’s defenses, cut off her limbs, letting her bleed to death."

"Senior Sister Li came searching for Little Orange, Shi Shuhong struck and shattered her body with his palm, she hadn’t ever seen her goddaughter one last time."

"Ah!!! Mercy! I am willing to kowtow and apologize!"

"Ah!! I am willing to become Saintess’ disciple, spare my life!!"

The agony of execution caused them to beg pathetically, crying loudly the same as demons fallen to hell!

Xia Qinglian continued, "Senior Sister Chun Hongtang saved Aunt Liu’s son during a beast tide twenty years ago, that day Aunt Liu with her son came up the mountain to pay respects, neither mother nor son had any cultivation."

"You called them Demon Sect fiends, beheaded them, and hung their heads on Cyan Lotus Mountain’s summit."

"Zhen from Lu’an Village below, married to Junior Brother Wang, lived atop Cyan Lotus Mountain, that day she gave birth, the child just born, Wei Shouyuan you killed the child before Zhen and Junior Brother Wang’s eyes."

"Then you began peeling all the flesh off Junior Brother Wang piece by piece before Zhen, Zhen bit her tongue and committed suicide..."

The execution by Ten Thousand Swords continued, Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan couldn’t scream anymore, only Xia Qinglian’s ice-cold voice echoed.

Finally, the sword array disappeared, the sky turned bright again.

Two skeletons fell to the ground, a ball of Li Fire burned them to ashes.

Xia Qinglian kneeled, raising her eyes to the sky, tears streaming:

"Senior Sister Li, Little Orange, Aunt Liu, Zhen, Junior Brother Wang..... today’s blood of half enemies may repay, wait for me to slaughter the Three Great Sects, then come down to accompany you all!"

Phew!

Her face pale, suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood, her body collapsed softly.
