Chapter 1277: Chapter 1107: Battle! _2
âMoon Serpent, Iâll leave that Black Python to you.â
The Moon Serpent nodded in agreement, instantly flew out of the clan territory, and confronted the large python still spewing venom.
As the Taiyin Divine Dragon, her bloodline overshadowed that of the snake, and her power was considerably strong, making it possible to quickly resolve matters and assist Li Zhirui.
Hissâ
The Black Python seemed to sense fear. Even though it had transformed from a demon cultivator, its bloodline remained that of the Yin-Devouring Black Python; facing a True Dragon, the bloodline suppression naturally made it dread and terrified.
And indeed, that was the case. The Moon Serpent clashed with the Black Python for dozens of rounds, and it was completely suppressed, being tightly constrained by the Moon Serpent.
However, capturing a scattered immortal alive was exceedingly difficult.
The Moon Serpent did not hold any expectations for this, and therefore, was very ruthless with her actions, harboring thoughts of leaving the Black Python behind.
Hence, every move she made was a killer strike, forcing the Black Python into continual sorrowful wails, suffering heavy losses.
ââ
âJiu, youâre up against two opponents, be cautious!â Da Qing saw Li Zhirui arranging the Moon Serpent and knew his next action, yet no one stepped forward to intervene.
Because it was impossible to stop him, there were only two scattered immortals in the family; if Li Zhirui didnât take action, then it would have to be the Moon Serpent.
Compared to this, Li Zhirui preferred to act personally, because he trusted his own strength!
âDonât worry, if I wasnât confident, why would I act so easily?â
Saying this, Li Zhirui gracefully left the formation, appearing in front of the two demon cultivators, Xue Yin and Bone Soul.
Boomâ
Li Zhirui didnât act, but when he did, it was an eruption of power.
Suddenly, two Sky-reaching Giant Trees appeared in front of him, quickly crushing towards the two individuals, they naturally wouldnât stand there to resist, but somehow, their bodies paused, as if lost in spirit, until the giant trees were just a few feet away, they suddenly awakened.
However, it was too close, even though both tried their best to defend, they were still struck by the Divine Power, being hurled away.
Cough, cough!
The protective spirit light shattered several layers, and the vestment robe they were wearing dimmed.
They hadnât expected Li Zhiruiâs power to be so strong, initially having thoughts of underestimating him.
Now, after a grave lesson, they treated Li Zhirui with much more caution.
Although both were injured, the Asura and Bone Phoenix they commanded remained intact, and under their control, charged towards Li Zhirui.
Buzz!
Li Zhirui sneered, making Bone Soul and Xue Yin shiver internally, as if something terrible were about to happen.
But in the next moment, they knew what their premonition was about.
Li Zhirui seemed like a radiant sun, pure, strong, filled with the Power of Purification; because of his presence, within a few feet, there wasnât a speck of impurity!
While the techniques of the two demon cultivators, whether the Shura Clan emerging from the Blood Pool or the Bone Phoenix refined with True Phoenix Relics, were entirely impure!
Thus, when Li Zhirui applied the Purification Principle, they were horrified to find their strength was not as formidable as imagined, especially when encountering Li Zhirui, the nemesis of demon cultivators.
Just with this, the moves left by the two demon cultivators in this place, were like paper, easily pierced and shattered.
âFellow Daoist, if we continue to conceal our strength, you and I might indeed perish here!â Bone Soul shouted hoarsely.
âIt should have been so from the start!â
Roarâ
Thunder suddenly sounded from flat ground, followed by two earth-shattering roars.
Bone Soul and Xue Yin, the demon cultivators scattered immortals, now appeared disheveled, resembling ghost-like creatures with fierce features.
One was entirely pale, while the other was completely blood red.
Their momentum was indeed one to two layers stronger.
âDie!â
Bone Soul shouted violently, fists crashing down, seemingly very far away, but in the next instant, he appeared directly in front of Li Zhirui.
And where he passed, it triggered a slight space collapse.
This demon cultivator injured easily by Li Zhirui previously, now struck with formidable killer moves.
Crackâ
Bone Soul heard the faint sound, his expression briefly filled with joy, but soon darkened again.
His killer move was indeed powerful, but unfortunately, still hadnât shattered Li Zhiruiâs well-prepared Defensive Spiritual Light.
Meanwhile, Xue Yin, who hadnât taken much action earlier, struck fiercely, sending two sharp scarlet Sword Qi towards Li Zhirui.
âHa! Trying to distract me, arenât you underestimating me?â Li Zhirui sneered, without any movement, a vast ocean suddenly appeared behind him, and several Profound Dragons emerged from it, guarding around him, the Sword Qi couldnât come close.
Bone Soul and Xue Yinâs faces were extremely ugly, even together they werenât opponents for the person before them! Regret filled their hearts, if they had known his strength earlier, they wouldnât have rushed here competing.
Now it seemed, not only without gain, but possibly dying here!
âBoth, while fighting against me, dare to get distracted, do you underestimate me, Li Zhirui?â
Before the words finished, layers of giant waves appeared in the void, howling towards the two.
Simultaneously, thousands of wooden stingers shot from the sky, seemingly simple Divine Power, integrated with Purification Principle; if they couldnât dodge, being grazed would immediately infuse the purification force into their bodies.
And a demon cultivator, bursting with evil internally, is incompatible with purification force, their battleground being within their bodies.
Although it seemed that few wooden stingers hit their target, mostly ineffective attacks, where they didnât notice, the stingers transformed into dense Wood Qi once hitting the ground and dissipated, revealing the Purification Force.
Fighting till now, Bone Soul and Xue Yin were clearly aware they werenât his opponents, continuing entanglements would worsen their injuries.
However, both remained silent, knowing Li Zhirui would not let them leave.
The only way to escape alive was betraying each other, making the other obstruct Li Zhiruiâs chase, thus surviving!
Unfortunately, both harbored malicious thoughts, calculating against each other, even occasionally sabotaging each other, escalating their injuries.
Li Zhirui scoffed internally, at such life-and-death moment, failing to collaborate, still scheming against each other, no wonder they all end dead here, alleviating some of his catastrophic Qi.
Nonetheless, his arrangement needed a little more time, so Li Zhirui pretended ignorance but continued the fierce offensive, each strike leaving marks on their bodies.
Though not too severe initially, they accumulated reducing the twoâs strength substantially.
When they finally realized their wounds were much more serious.
Initially not Li Zhiruiâs match, now weakened, mana insufficient, injuries severe, inducing fear in their hearts.
âI absolutely wonât die here, at the hands of an ordinary person!â Bone Soul screamed intensely, as if this could bring him courage.
Meanwhile, Xue Yin kept scanning surroundings, clearly planning to escape.
âDying by my hand, how could it insult you both?â Li Zhirui smiled slightly, confident of his strength, moreover, his setup was complete, they couldnât escape!
As soon the words fell, countless Firm Wood grew in the wind, mass of Spirit Vines intertwined.
This was the cage Li Zhirui prepared for them!
If not for the short time, he couldnât cultivate Immortal Realm Spirit Vines, it wouldnât take so long steadily accumulating Wood Qi, strengthening the Spirit Seed, ensuring it traps the Immortal Realm, without destruction.
This method was time-consuming, had these two been a bit astute, overcome biases, cooperated well, even by not sabotaging, Li Zhirui couldnât capture them.
Unfortunately, demon cultivators by nature donât trust anyone, especially fellow kind!
