Chapter 331 Breaking the Formation【Part 2】Extra Release
[For the favor of Heaven and added rewards, seeking recommendation tickets]
"Roar!"
Zhu Jiuyin's blood-red pupils flickered with intense murderous intent. With a sway of its body, it had already appeared a hundred meters away, its speed so fast that it caused even greater astonishment in the hearts of the four fighters.
"Kill it!"
Zhang Peng drew his Precious Sword, its cold light flashing. With a fierce shout, he shot toward Zhu Jiuyin like an arrow, his speed unmatched.
The other three also took action simultaneously, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.
Li Xiaoyao and his two companions were the first to arrive, and as soon as they reached the scene, they witnessed an earth-shattering battle.
The four fighters each had their own methods, and all their weapons were different.
Zhang Peng was the fastest, truly like a Peng bird, swift as the wind and fast as lightning, seizing opportunities to thrust with his sword.
However, Zhu Jiuyin's physical cultivation level was even stronger than its spiritual power. Even Zhang Peng, who was at the Eighth Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, could only leave a white scratch on the snake's scales with his sword.
"This Zhu Jiuyin's cultivation is around the Fifth Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, but its physical strength is so formidable that even a cultivator stronger than it might not necessarily be its match,"
Jiang Lichun said gravely in a soft voice.
"Can they kill this beast?" Li Xiaoyao doubted.
"It's hard to say," replied Jiang Lichun. "Even if they do manage to kill it, I fear it will be a pyrrhic victory."
"After all, fighting a demon beast of this cultivation level, unless one's own level is much stronger, casualties are inevitable when they are equally matched."
Li Xiaoyao, staring at the furiously roaring Zhu Jiuyin locked in battle with the four, suddenly licked his lips. "If I could eat this Zhu Jiuyin, my cultivation should see a significant increase."
Hearing this, Jiang Lichun gave him a look as if he were crazy. "Are you out of your mind? Eat Zhu Jiuyin? With your puny body? You'd probably get turned into mush by its tail before you even got close."
Even Li Tu, who was always unconventional, said, "The old man is right, with your strength, it's best not to go looking for death."
Li Xiaoyao ignored them; he indeed harbored such a thought in his heart.
Powerful demon beasts were absolutely nourishing treasures for cultivators.
The so-called Demonic Cultivation Technique in the System, wasn't it about devouring other cultivators' spiritual power to augment one's own strength?
This magic technique, and eating demon beasts had a marvelous concordance in their methods.
The battle became white-hot, with both sides locked in a fierce and evenly matched struggle.
Li Shisan furrowed his brows deeply and said, "You hold off this beast, and allow me to use my spells!"
"Okay!"
Li Shisan retreated dozens of meters, formed hand seals with his left hand, brandished his sword with his right, muttering an incantation in the air, though what spell he was about to cast was unknown.
"What kind of spell is he casting?" Li Xiaoyao poked the Li Tu beside him and asked.
Li Tu squinted his eyes and said, "The Five Elements Technique." Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
"The Five Elements Technique? Sounds pretty impressive," Li Xiaoyao thought to himself, although he wondered if the spell would be as formidable in practice as its name suggested.
"Indeed, it's quite impressive," Li Tu explained. "The Five Elements Technique is a spell passed down from the ancestors of the Li Family. Its primary function is to use incantations to connect one's own body with the Five Element Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, and from there to control and transform it into an offensive force."
At that moment, Li Shisan's eyes suddenly snapped open, his hand signs condensed, and he shouted, "Taishang Laojun, in haste as this command, bring forth the wind!"
As the shout fell, a fierce wind truly rose out of nowhere, sweeping up broken rocks from the ground and hurling them toward Zhu Jiuyin.
Zhang Peng and his two companions had moved out of the way in advance. A pile of rocks, like a small mountain under the fierce wind, crashed down on Zhu Jiuyin.
The scales on Zhu Jiuyin's body were as hard as iron, but under the attack of the fierce wind and broken rocks, it still sustained considerable damage.
"Roar!"
Enraged, Zhu Jiuyin let out a thunderous roar. Its blood-red eyes instantly fixed on Li Shisan, who had cast the spell. Its body swayed and shook, its upper half slightly curved in an attacking posture.
Feeling the threat, Li Shisan's palms changed signs rapidly, and a mini tornado, dozens of meters high, suddenly appeared, sweeping toward Zhu Jiuyin.
Zhu Jiuyin glared at Li Shisan for a dozen seconds and, after giving a reluctant roar, turned and disappeared into the mountains in an instant.
"Phew!" Li Shisan let out a breath. This Zhu Jiuyin was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Even with the four of them at the Spirit Cultivation Realm, they were unable to kill it on the spot.
Li Xiaoyao, who had been hiding in the distance and watching, was slightly surprised in his heart. He truly hadn't expected that Li Shisan would know such powerful spells.
However, Li Shisan's control and understanding of spells were clearly not deep enough, otherwise, his wind-control technique should have been much more powerful.
"You all go break the formation while I sit and adjust my breath," said Li Shisan as he sat down on the spot, closing his eyes to regulate his breath.
Zhang Peng and the others nodded subtly. Indeed, Li Shisan had exerted the most effort, so they had no objections.
The three approached the edge of the formation. After sensing it for a moment, they exclaimed in surprise, "The energy of this formation seems a bit terrifying!"
Mo Mo's eyes also carried a hint of seriousness. "This formation seems to be arranged by people after creation. However, so much time has passed that the energy of the formation is no longer as strong as it once was," she said.
Mo Ziwen walked slowly around the edge of the formation, occasionally slapping to death some demon beasts that tried to charge at him. Their corpses stained the grass red.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, just as the group was getting impatient, Mo Ziwen's voice suddenly rose with a hint of excitement, "This is it."
Zhang Peng and Mo Mo immediately approached, asking, "What did you find?"
Mo Ziwen pointed toward a rock in the bottom right direction, saying, "This is where the formation's eye is. The three of us will join forces to attack this spot and destroy the formation's eye."
The three stepped back a few paces, looked at each other, held their breaths with focused spirits, and powerful auras started emanating from their bodies.
"Ha!"
With a chorus of shouts, a series of attacks were released from the hands of the three, aiming at the rock.
"Boom!"
The three attacks hit the rock, exploding instantly like fireworks, illuminating the dark night as if it were daylight.
As the three attacked, the formation outside the ancient tomb instantly distorted, like a pool of water as still as a mirror suddenly disturbed by a massive rock, with ripples spreading outward in all directions.
This chaotic energy grew stronger, distorting even the space around it, causing a sense of dread.
"Retreat, the formation is about to break!" Mo Ziwen yelled, and the three immediately backed up hundreds of meters.
Just as they had moved back, a terrifying explosion sounded from the formation, – the earth itself trembled at that moment.
As the dust settled, Mo Mo, not sure if she was asking or talking to herself, said, "Is the formation broken?"
Li Shisan stood up from the ground, walked over slowly, and reached the place where the formation had been obstructing before, stretching out a hand toward it.
His palm passed through without obstruction. Seeing this, everyone's hearts surged with excitement.
The formation was finally broken!
