Facing Jade Shura's mocking gaze, Lu Ping's eyes shot out two beams of green light. Even Jade Shura had to blink under Ye Ye's gaze.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ping suddenly disappeared in front of Jade Shura. Jade Shura was shocked. She immediately realized what Lu Ping was going to do, but when she turned around, it was too late!
Lu Ping was floating above the Mara army, which was regrouping. Beneath his feet were two hundred shuras that had just been scattered and then regrouped. There were also many more cultivators coming from afar.
Jade Shura only had time to scream. Mara, who was beneath Lu Ping's feet, was shocked. When they looked up, they saw a vengeful smile in the air, hiding its cruelty.
Lu Ping put his hands down, and a blue and purple vortex formed above the heads of the Mara. A strange suction came from the vortex, and it grew stronger.
The Mara felt like there was a cold wind blowing past them. It was like the cold wind had taken away a lot of water vapor, and it made them feel dry. Thirsty?
How could they be thirsty? Was this a joke?
As all the demons complained about this strange feeling, they circulated the essence in their bodies, wanting to absorb some water from the surrounding void to quench this sudden thirst. However, it was only at this moment that they realized to their shock that there was no longer a drop of water in the void around them. They circulated the essence in their bodies to the limit and expanded it to the limit, but they still could not absorb the slightest bit of water from the void.
But that wasn't the most terrifying thing. What scared the Demos the most wasn't the fact that they couldn't absorb water vapor. Instead, when they circulated the original essence in their bodies, they discovered that the water in their bodies was silently being drained away. It was as if there was an invisible force hidden in the void. This force was constantly absorbing the water in each Demo's body while the Demos were at a loss. And the source of this force was the purplish-blue vortex in Lu Ping's hand that was hovering in midair.
From the time Lu Ping used the blue and purple vortex in the air to the time the Mara found that the water in their bodies was being sucked out, it had only been a moment. The Mara wanted to get rid of Lu Ping's strange power, but they found that as the water in their bodies was being sucked out, the true qi in their bodies began to slow down. The Mara stumbled in the air, but they couldn't get away from the vortex in Lu Ping's hand. All they could do was scream.
The Jade Shura finally arrived. Lu Ping felt a little regretful, but he had to retreat. The blue and purple vortex in his hand collapsed, and Lu Ping's power was finally broken.
As soon as the purplish-blue vortex in Lu Ping's hand dissipated, among the 200 Demon Luos that were enveloped by Lu Ping's strange skill, nearly a hundred of them turned into dried corpses. When the sea breeze blew past, the dried corpses turned into dust and scattered all over the sky.
Among the one hundred Mara, almost half of them were big Mara, which was equivalent to the Core Forging stage. Not only that, but more than half of the other one hundred Mara were also affected by Lu Ping's power. Although they reacted in time and managed to escape, the parts of their bodies that were affected were dried up because of the draining of water.
In this attack on Lattice Island, the five Dharma Plane Mara had gathered a total of five hundred Mara, big and small. But Lu Ping's power alone was enough to kill a fifth of the Mara's army. Coupled with the sudden attack from the Child-Mother Formation, the Mara's side had lost a hundred and fifty people, and nearly fifty Mara were injured.
The killing power of Lu Ping's power not only made the Jade Shura's expression change, but it also made the three Dharma Plane Laozu look at her. It also made all the human and demon cultivators on Lattice Island speechless.
The Jade Shura was like a mad tiger. She had lost a lot of her men in a short period of time, and she seemed to be in a frenzy. She started attacking Lu Ping in a way that would destroy both sides. Even someone as strong as Lu Ping had to retreat under her relentless attacks.
But Lu Ping wasn't an easy opponent. Although he was at a disadvantage, he didn't panic at all. His pair of swords were sharp, and he executed the [Water Seep Sword Skill] to its peak. Jade Shura's attacks were fierce, but under Lu Ping's tight defense, she couldn't hurt him at all.
The vanguard of Mara's army had sent as many people as they could to Lattice Island. But Tian Kang Laozu and the others had decided to buy time, so they would not fight Mara. Even the Jade Shura, who was fighting Lu Ping, could not harm Lu Ping in a short period of time.
After Lu Ping used his strange power to kill a hundred of Mara, Mara's army's attacks on Lattice Island were weakened. With the Mother and Child Drawing Spell, and Rong Cheng Laozu's power, the cultivators on Lattice Island could easily defend against the weakened Mara.
Daoist Master Xuan Xu and the other three, who were originally in the most danger, had been seen by the Evil Luo as the key to breaking through the situation when they were fighting the Blood Demon. However, this Blood Demon had almost suffered a great loss from Daoist Master Xuan Xu and the others right from the start.
When the Blood Devil saw that he was actually facing four late-stage Core Forging Cultivators, the surface of the Soul Devouring Poisonous Mist around him suddenly shot out four black mist snakes. The four black mist snakes circled around in the air, then quickly rushed towards Xuan Xu, Xuan Yong and the other two.
The faces of Sage Xuan Xu and the others flickered slightly. However, at that very moment, the golden roc circling above their heads suddenly charged out from the auspicious clouds. With a flap of its wings, it blew away the two black snakes. Then, it reached out with its sharp claws to grab the remaining two black snakes by seven inches and tore them apart with one swipe.
When the blood demon saw that the golden roc was able to break its innate divine ability so easily, it was slightly stunned. In its opinion, even if the four joined forces, they wouldn't be able to break its divine ability so easily.
Just as the blood demon was stunned, a great sense of danger suddenly burst forth. The soul devouring mist around the blood demon rapidly shrank, as if it was condensing into a mist shield. At the same time, a cyan light suddenly jumped down from the back of the golden roc. The Azure Willow Sword on its back suddenly unsheathed, breaking the mist shield that the blood demon was condensing in one fell swoop.
A roar rang out from within the black mist and a stream of black mist sprayed out, sending Lu Xiaoping tumbling backwards. By then, Sage Xuan Xu and the others had already surrounded the blood fiend and began attacking it from all sides.
It was often impossible to guard against the blood fiend's attacks. Thus, in the face of the blood fiend, cultivators would have a greater headache compared to facing the Blood Asura. However, with the protection of the cloud sail and Lu Xiaoping's harassment, Sage Xuan Xu and the others were able to steadily gain the upper hand.
On Grid Island, Master Xuan Heng nodded to the dozen late Core Forging cultivators around him and said, "I'll leave it to you all!"
Then, Daoist Xuan Heng cast out a small bronze bell in his hand, which suddenly expanded in size in mid-air. Following Lu Ping's instructions, Daoist Xuan Heng formed a series of hand seals and the bronze bell vibrated in mid-air. Then, a loud bell chime resounded across the island.
The dozens of Mara that had just attacked Grid Island were the first to bear the brunt of the bell's ringing. The dozen late Core Forging cultivators on Grid Island rushed out and killed the dozens of Mara that were at a loss. In an instant, a dozen Mara of different sizes fell from the sky, and a dozen more fled with injuries. The Mara's attack was once again repelled.
Half a day passed by quickly. The Mara's army had been attacking the seventh line of defence for an entire day. Apart from a few islands that had been repeatedly contested, the rest of the islands were firmly controlled by the joint forces of the human and demon clans.
Just as the sun was about to set, twenty to thirty dazzling beams of light rose from the sky above Phantom City. Following closely behind these beams of light were eight smaller beams of light. Hundreds of beams of light shot out of Phantom City, then suddenly split up and headed towards the various islands on the seventh line of defence.
After an entire day of fighting, Phantom City finally came to an agreement with the nine major sects. The preparations inside and outside of Phantom City were finally complete. Next, twenty to thirty Dharma adepts and more than eight hundred Core Forging adepts were sent to reinforce the seventh line of defence and launch a large-scale counterattack against the Mara's army.
The person leading the reinforcements to Grid Island was a female practitioner. Lu Ping recognized her. She was the Carefree Sect's mid Dharma adept, Yu Huan Laozu. Behind her were forty Core Forging adepts, half of whom were female practitioners. They were probably the Carefree Sect adepts who had followed Yu Huan Laozu to Phantom City.
Seeing that another mid Dharma adept had appeared, the two Jade Shura and two Blood Shura, who were battling the Dharma adepts on Zhenling's side, let out a long howl and simultaneously broke away from their respective opponents and retreated.
A jade scepter flew out of Yu Huan Laozu's hand and shot towards the Blood Demon, who was being attacked by Spiritual Master Xuan Xu and Lu Xiaoping, who were a step too slow.
The Blood Demon was terrified and desperately tried to avoid it. Unexpectedly, the jade scepter was a rare treasure. Just as the Blood Demon dodged, it disappeared into thin air. When it reappeared, it was once again in the sky above the Blood Demon.
The scepter suddenly fell, sinking into the soul-devouring black fog and smashing into the Blood Demon's head. However, there was no sound at all. The soul-devouring black fog immediately dissipated, and the Blood Demon's head was bleeding profusely.
Lu Xiaoping somersaulted in mid-air and landed on the Blood Demon's shoulder. With a wave of the Five Inch Willow Sword in his hand, the Blood Demon's head flew high into the air.
In mid-air, Yu Huan Laozu's surprised voice sounded, and she said, "A doppelganger?"
At the same time, on the two islands on the north-east and north-west island chains, Quan Yu Laozu of the Yulin Sect and Zhang Xiyi of the Blue Sea Sect, who were guarding the islands, quickly received the news after they chased away Mara, who was attacking their respective islands.
"What? Lattice Island is safe and sound? Lu Tianping killed his way out and even led a group of cultivators who were scattered in the Fallen Mystery Land to reinforce Lattice Island?"
"What good luck!"
"What? There's a disciple of the Blue Sea Sect among this group of adepts? Who is it?"
"Brother Liu Yongchang? He's not dead? That's great. What? He actually helped Zhenling defend Lattice Island? "
