"Damn it!"
Seeing his fellow disciple being slain and an array banner falling, the Four Symbols Profound Spirit Array also became invalid and couldnāt be activated anymore; the leading Demon Cultivator showed a furious expression.
He used his magical power, intending to retrieve the fallen array banner to prevent it from falling into the enemyās hands or being destroyed.
However, just as he was about to act, Lu Yuanshan was a step ahead of him.
As Lu Yuanshan approached the falling array banner, he waved his large sleeve, unleashing a wave of magical power that swept the array banner into his sleeve.
The array bannerās light flickered and was instantly stored into his storage bag.
At this moment, the reason Lu Yuanshan did not destroy the array banner but instead stored it away was due to Lu Pingās suggestion.
Though the Four Symbols Profound Spirit Array was a demon array, its effectiveness was commendable, capable of slaying Crystallization Cultivators.
Lu Ping considered bringing it back for Lu Changfeng to study and learn from.
To see if it was possible to design a similar array.
Of course, it couldnāt be a demon array.
It would have to be improved significantly.
"You..."
A step too late, the array banner was taken by Lu Yuanshan, leaving the array-setting Demon Cultivator even more enraged.
Yet, he dared not blindlessly charge at Lu Yuanshan, his heart filled with dread.
Even joining forces with four people to activate the Four Symbols Profound Spirit Array wasnāt enough to be a match; going alone would surely yield no success.
"Iāll take you on!"
Seeing that even the Four Symbols Profound Spirit Array couldnāt subdue Lu Yuanshan and an array banner had fallen into his hands, Xue Chaoyiās loud shout rang out.
He used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to escape from Liu Qiumeiās attack, wielding the Demon Dragon Blade directly at Lu Yuanshanās head.
Lu Yuanshanās strength had deeply caught Xue Chaoyiās attention, and he decided to eliminate Lu Yuanshan first.
However, at the next moment, his attack was intercepted by the Vermilion Bird Dharma Form.
With a loud boom,
the Vermilion Bird Dharma Form soared across the sky, its wings spreading, blazing flames surging, as one wing sweepingly struck the Demon Dragon Blade.
This strike sent the Demon Dragon Blade flying backward, retreating over ten zhang.
Liu Qiumei acted decisively, blocking Xue Chaoyiās attack with one strike and then continued to activate the Vermilion Bird Ring, swiftly positioning it above Xue Chaoyiās head.
The Vermilion Bird Ring emitted an extremely powerful suppressive force, enveloping like a mountain, making Xue Chaoyi feel as if he was trapped in a swamp, significantly limiting his movement.
The Vermilion Bird Ring had a major useātrapping the enemy.
This effect was also useful against Crystallization Cultivators.
"What kind of magical artifact is this?!"
Feeling the suppressive power of the Vermilion Bird Ring, Xue Chaoyiās expression changed. He had no choice but to temporarily forego attacking Lu Yuanshan to free himself from this confinement first.
Yet, before he could take effective action, the suppressive power of the Vermilion Bird Ring intensified, pressing down like a towering giant mountain.
Xue Chaoyi gritted his teeth and had to use an escape talisman.
As the talisman unfolded, Xue Chaoyi transformed into a phantom with a swish, escaping from below the Vermilion Bird Ring.
This Tier Three Escape Talisman allowed him to narrowly dodge the predicament.
Even so, Lu Yuanshan had already anticipated this move of his.
With one array banner missing from the Four Symbols Profound Spirit Array, no matter how it was used, it couldnāt be set up again.
Lu Yuanshan simply disregarded the three Demon Cultivators holding the array banners momentarily and changed his attack target.
He unfurled the Wind Thunder Wings and rapidly pursued in the direction where Xue Chaoyi had escaped.
In just an instant, Lu Yuanshan caught up, wielding the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, and unleashed an ancient Sword Qi, slashing towards Xue Chaoyi.
Xue Chaoyiās face turned grim, realizing he had underestimated Lu Yuanshan.
He thought he could kill him with his Fake Elixir Stage strength, but now, there was no assurance of winning against Lu Yuanshan.
Moreover, Liu Qiumei on the side was also a formidable opponent.
With a whoosh,
Lu Yuanshanās strike, simple in form, was nonetheless imposing in its might.
As his Lifebound Flying Sword sped through the sky, it generated a piercing sound that startled Xue Chaoyi.
The intimidating sword power came slashing towards him, reaching him in a blink.
Reacting swiftly to the crisis, Xue Chaoyi immediately maneuvered the Demon Dragon Blade to block in front of him.
The Demon Dragon Blade appeared just in time, clashing with the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword with a clang.
The Demon Dragon Blade was firmly struck but remained unscathed, vibrating in Xue Chaoyiās hand, causing him to look visibly affected.
Failing to harm Xue Chaoyi with one strike, and having it blocked, Lu Yuanshan only squinted his eyes and immediately initiated his next move.
With a flick, he drew distance from Xue Chaoyi using the Wind Thunder Wings.
This time, Lu Yuanshan again activated the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, executing the Sword Technique Heaven Opening, launching a more fierce attack at Xue Chaoyi.
Xue Chaoyi, however, did not appear flustered, maintaining a calm demeanor. Suddenly, his whole body erupted in flashing red and black light, like flickering lightning.
This was the Blood Demon Sectās legacy body technique called Blood Demon Escape Technique, its power no less than Lu Yuanshanās Purple Extreme Escape Light.
This technique allowed Xue Chaoyi to evade the attack.
Simultaneously, Xue Chaoyi didnāt pause his actions, performing a cultivation technique, stretching out his right hand, and fiercely grabbing towards Lu Yuanshan.
A black hand seal appeared, with five fingers spread wide, reaching two to three zhang in size, exuding potent Fake Elixir Stage aura, sweeping towards Lu Yuanshan.
This movement was as if grabbing a chick, heading towards Lu Yuanshan.
This was a legacy divine technique from the Blood Demon Sect, named Blood Demon Hand, and under Xue Chaoyiās execution, no Crystallization Stage Cultivator could face it head-on and could only choose to evade.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanshan had the Wind Thunder Wings and Purple Extreme Escape Light to rely on; against such an attack, he remained unfazed and quite at ease.
With a swish,
the Wind Thunder Wings unfurled, their surface flowing with silver and purple lightning currents, crackling ominously.
A force of wind and thunder erupted, exerting significant power, propelling Lu Yuanshan forward several zhang with a whoosh.
This distance, seemingly short yet not far, was deftly enough to evade Xue Chaoyiās giant hand grab, without wasting a single piece of magical power.
The higher tier the cultivators in a life-and-death battle, the more they tend to conserve their magical power, utilizing every bit effectively without waste.
Lu Yuanshanās actions at this time were precisely such.
"Your moves, though quick, I donāt believe you can dodge a second, third time."
Seeing Lu Yuanshan avoiding his attack, Xue Chaoyiās expression turned icy, showing no signs of holding back, and once again reached out his withered palm towards Lu Yuanshan.
