Fortunately, Daoist Master Xuan Peng had long been used to this kind of environment that was full of danger during the past few months. Hearing Daoist Master Xuan Feng's reminder, the light under his feet flashed and he dragged Daoist Master Xuan Feng's body to the side to hide.
However, the strength of the attacker was clearly beyond everyone's expectations. A Blood Shura flashed out of the void, and the Companion Spiritual Treasure that had struck the air suddenly changed direction and slashed horizontally along Sage Xuan Peng's shoulder.
"Ah!"
Sage Xuan Peng screamed in pain. His left arm had fallen off at the shoulder. Enduring the pain, Sage Xuan Peng turned around and picked up his fallen left arm with his right hand. At the same time, he spat out a formation board outlined by Spirit Qi and covered the wound on his left shoulder with a "pop". The gushing blood immediately stopped, but Sage Xuan Peng's face still turned pale because of the blood loss, and beads of sweat began to drip down his cheeks.
The Blood Shura cut off Sage Xuan Peng's left arm with one strike. He laughed hideously and slashed at Sage Xuan Peng with the Companion Spiritual Treasure in his hand again. At this time, Xuan Yong had already run over with a roar, but it was too late.
Clang!
The Blood Shura's Companion Spiritual Treasure was broken into two. Sage Xuan Peng escaped death. Ignoring the pain of his broken arm, he scrambled towards Xuan Yong who was coming to his rescue.
The Blood Shura was stunned when he saw the Companion Spiritual Treasure in his hand suddenly break in two, and then he screamed. The Companion Spiritual Treasure had grown with Mara, so the Blood Shura would also be seriously injured when the Companion Spiritual Treasure was destroyed.
Lu Ping suddenly appeared on the sea outside the Barren Reef, but he did not look at the Blood Shura. Instead, he frowned and looked at the place where the sea and the sky met.
At this time, the Blood Shura knew that the person in front of him was the person who cut off his Companion Spiritual Treasure. However, the person's ability to destroy the Companion Spiritual Treasure so easily frightened the Blood Shura. Seeing that the person did not notice him, the Blood Shura turned to escape.
However, just as he was about to cast the space god art, he seemed to see The Friar waving his hand at him. It seemed like two blades suddenly slashed out from Lu Ping's hands.
The Shura then crashed into the portal. However, in the sea ten miles away, when the portal opened, a head fell off first. Then, the Shura's body was thrown out of the portal.
Linglong's wine cauldron jumped out from the void. The mouth of the cauldron faced downwards towards Mara's dissolving corpse. A cyan colored essence was sucked into the cauldron before disappearing.
At this moment, Xuan Ling had already arrived in front of Daoist Xuan Peng. She began to examine the wound on Daoist Xuan Peng's arm.
Xuan Peng Immortal laughed bitterly and said, "There is no need to look. There is a strange power on Mara's Companion Spiritual Treasure. It has caused the flesh and blood in the wound to die. This broken arm can't be reattached."
As Xuan Peng Immortal spoke, he lifted the broken arm in his right hand. Only then did Xuan Ling see that the bone and flesh where the broken arm was broken had died a lot. The wound on the shoulder had been blocked by Xuan Peng Immortal's Real Vitality, but the bone and flesh that were not injured had further necrosis.
Xuan Ling turned to call Lu Ping, but she saw that Lu Ping had come to their side. Lu Ping nodded at Xuan Ling, motioning for her to stay away. Then, he slapped Xuan Peng Immortal's back.
Xuan Peng Immortal felt a huge wave wash over his whole body in an instant. Then, he felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of cyan red blood.
At the same time, a Spirit Qi Array disk on the wound on his shoulder was instantly broken by the blood that shot out from the wound.
Xuan Peng Immortal's pale face became even more haggard. A dignified late stage Core Forging cultivator was on the verge of collapse. If Xuan Yong hadn't rushed over to support him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Xuan Heng and Xuan Feng also rushed over. Xuan Heng was worried about his old friend's safety. He asked anxiously, "Junior Brother Tianping, what is going on? How did he get poisoned?"
Lu Ping gave a Spirit Pill to Xuan Peng Immortal and forced him to swallow it. Then, he said, "It's Poison Asura!"
"Poison Asura?"
The few of them were stunned. They had experienced many battles with Demonic Luo over the years, but they had never seen Poison Asura.
Lu Ping didn't explain in detail. Instead, he ordered them, "Quickly pack up. We have to leave this place as soon as possible!"
Seeing how serious Lu Ping was, they didn't ask for the reason. Instead, they quickly tidied up the Mo Luo team's spoils of war. They mainly cast out a few special mystic instruments to collect as much of the Mo Luo's essence as possible. After returning to Soul-Gathering Island, Lu Ping would purify the essence and use it to concoct Essence Condensing Pellets, Spirit Forging Pellets, and other consumables.
Just after everyone finished collecting, they saw that Lu Ping had already put Xuan Peng Immortal on Lu Qin-er's back. Lu Ping said anxiously, "Go!"
Everyone didn't know what was going on. They all followed behind Lu Qin-er. At this moment, Xuan Ling sensed something and turned around. She suddenly exclaimed.
When they heard the sound and turned around, they saw that Mara had appeared at the point where the sky and the sea met. They were heading in the direction of Spirit Gathering Island.
When they returned to Spirit Gathering Island, the Laozu of the various sects on the island had already heard the news. The sky was filled with all kinds of talismans, swords, and talismans. The disciples of various sects were in and out of the island. It was a mess. No one had expected that Mara's army would abandon Phantom City and head for Spirit Gathering Island.
More than ten Dharma adepts rose into the air and gathered together. Although everyone's expressions did not look good, none of them panicked. The protective matrixes of the five islands were connected, and the Phantom City was the core of the entire matrix. If the Mara army could not even break through the Phantom City, it would be even more impossible for them to break through the protective matrixes here.
Of course, the cultivators on the island naturally wouldn't allow Mara's army to attack. Otherwise, no matter how strong the protective array was, it would be broken one day.
Mara's army got closer and closer. The bodies of the Laozu's of the various sects all emitted a strong aura. Beams of light flashed on everyone's bodies. It was obvious that the treasures on the Laozu's bodies were ready to be used.
Below these Laozu's, groups of Core Forging adepts also flew up from the island. Their bodies were also flashing with light and their treasures were circling around them.
The Mara's army got closer and closer, but they didn't stop at all. They charged straight towards the protective array of Spirit Gathering Island.
Everyone was stunned. Did Mara's army think that they could break through the protective array of Spirit Gathering Island just by charging at it with their bodies?
They were getting closer and closer. Many of the cultivators' treasures had already flown out from the protective array and were heading towards Mara's army to kill.
Roars rang out one after another as assorted magic treasures and Magic artefacts flew out from the densely packed Demon Luo army to block the attacks from the cultivators on Spirit Convergence Island. Dazzling lights of various colours burst out in the sky like fireworks and even the world seemed to change colour because of it.
Seeing that Mara's army was about to crash into them, the Laozu's, including Lu Ping's, all had serious expressions on their faces. They took out their treasures and spirit treasures, preparing to meet the attack of Mara's army.
However, at this moment, a low roar sounded from within the ranks of Mara's army. At the same time, it reached the ears of the various sects' cultivators on Spirit Gathering Island.
The protective shield of the island began to rumble. It was like the surface of water being blown by a strong wind, rippling and rippling.
The Heavenly Demon was even more powerful than the Jade Demon. It was a Heavenly Demon equivalent to a late Dharma adept!
There was actually a Heavenly Demon here. Previously, the two sides in Phantom City had been in a stalemate for several months, and there had been many battles. Asura's silhouette had been seen many times. The great sects and demon tribes had all fought with Asura, but the Heavenly Demon had never appeared!
The various sects' Laozu's had a bad feeling. Although the protective shield of the island was blocking the sound waves, when the sound waves reached them, Lu Ping flung out the Cloud Sail. It transformed into a huge cloud sail in the sky, covering the top of Zhenling's camp.
The various sects' Laozu's also tried their best to prevent the sound waves from harming the cultivators of their sects. However, they obviously did not have a spirit treasure like the Cloud Sail that was specially designed to defend against sound waves or spiritual attacks. It could not protect their disciples on a large scale. Many Blood Condensation disciples with lower levels of cultivation died on the spot with black blood flowing out of their mouths and ears. Most of the Blood Condensation disciples fainted. Even some of the Core Forging disciples felt dizzy. Their bodies swayed in mid-air, and those who were not strong enough fell from the sky towards the island like dumplings. Their faces were bruised and swollen.
Tian Kang's Laozu shouted, "Disciples of all sects, gather towards Zhenling!"
The various sects' Laozu's also came to their senses. Before they could express their gratitude to Zhenling, they all ordered their disciples to gather under the cloud sail. Zhenling's camp also began to shrink, trying its best to cover as much of the area under the cloud sail as possible.
However, the Heavenly Demon's roar did not last for long. Only a few cultivators from the sects closest to Zhen Ling Sect managed to hide under the cover of the Cloud Sails. Most of the cultivators were moving towards Zhen Ling Sect's camp when the Heavenly Demon's roar came to an abrupt stop.
"It changed direction, it changed direction. The Mara's army changed direction. They are not coming for Soulgathering Island!"
After the heavenly devil's roar stopped, the huge Mara's army began to change direction in mid-air like a slow-moving giant. Then, it slowly circled around Soulgathering Island and headed towards the north of the island.
"They are indeed coming for Soulgathering Island!"
At this time, even the ten or so Dharma adepts in the sky, including Lu Ping, knew that even if the Mara's army was coming for Soulgathering Island, they would not be able to break through the protective array of the island in a short period of time. However, they could not help but feel relieved.
Even the heavenly devil had appeared. How many Asuras would there be in the Mara's army? Other than that, how many more Jade Shura, Jade Demons, and Blood Mara were hidden among them?
More than ten? Dozens? More than a hundred?
Just thinking about this made the Dharma adepts of Laozu's scalp go numb!
Now, if they weren't here for the Spirit Gathering Island, then where were they going?
To the north of Soulgathering Island, there was another large spirit stone mine occupied by human cultivators — Yuan Ling Island!
