"Shapeless Sword Technique!"
Xie Tianyang shouted, thinking that it was Lu Ping who had come to help. But looking at the short sword, which was only a Spirit Nurturing Magic Treasure, he knew that it was not one of Lu Ping's magic treasures.
Sure enough, a black-robed cultivator appeared behind the slain Blood Asura. With a wave of his hand, the dagger magic treasure returned to his hand. Then, the cultivator looked coldly at Xie Tianyang. His black robes fluttered, and his entire person hid in the void again.
Xie Tianyang gave Su Jin a look. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but the flying swords in their hands did not relax at all. On the contrary, the two spirit treasures cooperated more closely with each other, and their attacks became fiercer, as if they were going to break out of the encirclement.
Seeing this, the four Jade Mara no longer cared about the black-robed cultivator who had suddenly appeared. Only a few Blood Mara hurriedly wandered around the periphery, as if guarding against something, while the four Jade Mara began to block Xie Tianyang and Su Jin with all their might.
Although Xie Tianyang and Su Jin's all-out attack had disrupted the rhythm of the four Jade Mara's coordination, the two of them really could not escape the encirclement of the four Jade Mara. But this was enough. With a strange "gulp", a sword light rushed up from below like boiling water. Including Xie Tianyang and Su Jin, the four Jade Mara were all included in the sword formation.
The boiling sword light continued to spread, scaring away the few Blood Mara that came up from all directions. But the black-robed Yin Tianchu's figure disappeared in a flash. Not only did he not avoid the boiling sword light formation, but he also rushed into the formation and was drowned by the boiling sword light in the blink of an eye.
Boiling Sky Sword Technique!
Jade Demon suddenly realized that his Soul Devouring Divine Art couldn't be used in this strange sword whistle that sounded like boiling water. That earth-shaking sword whistle actually covered up his Soul Devouring Divine Art completely.
Without the Soul Devourer magic, the Jade Demon's strength was only slightly stronger than a Blood Shura. The sword light around it surged up, and in a moment, the Jade Demon let out a shrill roar. Together with the accompanying spiritual treasure in its hand, it was swallowed by the sword light, leaving only a black Soul Devourer that gradually dissipated in the boiling sword light.
Seepage Sword Technique!
Lu Ping had already cultivated this Supreme Sword Technique to the level where he could use it as he pleased. He could change the four basic magic at any time in the process of using the Supreme Sword Technique to adapt to the situation.
A figure slowly condensed in the sword formation. Lu Ping smiled at the sword light formation that was still boiling around him. He did not expect that Xie Tianyang and Su Jin's strength had also reached such a level. If Yin Tianchu had not secretly expelled the Blood Mara, and the two of them had joined forces to stop the four Jade Mara, Lu Ping would not have been able to use this Supreme Sword Technique like a sneak attack to trap the four Jade Mara in the sword formation.
When Lu Ping's sword formation included Xie Tianyang and Su Jin, the two of them seemed to have expected this. Seeing that the sword light around them was only attacking the Jade Mara in front of them, and that it did not affect them at all, they could not help but be amazed that Lu Ping could control such a powerful Supreme Sword Technique so well.
But at this time, the two of them had to suppress their shock, and each of them rushed towards the two Jade Shuras. At this time, the four Jade Mara had been scattered by Lu Ping's Supreme Sword Technique, and it was a good time to take them down one by one.
The other Jade Shura had just regained its footing under the sword formation when a black shadow attacked it. A short sword suddenly appeared three feet in front of the Jade Shura. Although the Jade Shura tried to dodge, its protection god powers were still pierced. The sword pierced half a foot into its body, and the Jade Shura's companion spirit treasure knocked it away.
A palm strangely appeared in mid-air, just in time to grab the flying dagger magic treasure, and then disappeared.
But when the Jade Shura used the companion spirit treasure to smash the sword light where the hand had appeared, it did not find anything.
The Jade Shura was shocked, and it seemed to think of something. Its feet flashed, and when it was about to leave where it had been, a short needle that was about a foot long appeared behind the Jade Shura.
Although the Jade Shura had a protection god power around her, the god powers and spells were like broken cups in front of the short needle. They made a cracking sound, and the protective god powers around the Jade Shura were pierced like rotten wood. The needle pierced right through the Jade Shura's back.
The Taixuan Thorn that Lu Ping had given to Yin Tianchu was now a true disaster spirit treasure in Yin Tianchu's hands. Clearly, Yin Tianchu's power had increased over the years, and it wasn't just in terms of his cultivation.
The Jade Shura looked at the half of the thorn that was sticking out of her chest in disbelief. Her whole body was starting to crack as her lifeforce drained away. She turned into a thick spirit power that evaporated into the air. Only the Taixuan Thorn was left floating in the air, shining with a sharp light.
The sword shadows dissipated, and Yin Tianchu's figure calmly walked out from behind the sword shadows. The moment he appeared, the Supreme Mystery Thorn let out a soft cry, and instantly flew back into Yin Tianchu's body, disappearing without a trace.
At this time, the sky full of sword lights started to gather together. They gathered around the two flying swords that were floating around Lu Ping. Lu Ping, Xie Tianyang, and Su Jin slowly appeared in the air.
Su Jin bowed to Lu Ping and Yin Tianchu. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for helping us. If you hadn't, we would have been in big trouble. By the way, is this a cultivator from your faction?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. This is Yin Tianchu from our faction!"
Xie Tianyang and Su Jin greeted each other as "Brother Yin". Yin Tianchu only nodded silently in return. Su Jin and Xie Tianyang did not mind. They had seen all kinds of strange people in the world of cultivation, and it was easy to offend them by deliberately chasing after small details.
Xie Tianyang said, "I didn't expect you to have someone like Brother Yin, besides Brother Lu. Zhenling has brought a big surprise to the world of cultivation!"
Su Jin was being honest. He said, "Surprise is good enough, but it's hard to say whether it's good or not!"
The four of them met each other in a hurry. Lu Ping said, "This is not a good place to talk. Brother Su, Brother Xie, the situation in your faction is not good. Has your Pure Yang Laozu arrived?"
Su Jin didn't suspect anything. He said, "It's not good. There's an Asura in Mara's army. The three Martial Uncles and Martial Granduncle are doing their best to delay, but they won't be able to hold on for long. I'm afraid we can't count on the reinforcements from the encampment. There are two Skyscraping Demons there. Our Pure Yang cultivator, Jia Xiuqing, and Wuxing School's Pure Yang cultivator, Mu Ye Laozu, both have to block the two Skyscraping Demons. Naturally, they won't be able to do anything else.
At this time, Xie Tianyang saw that Lu Ping's expression was getting worse when he heard that the Pure Yang cultivator from Zi Yang Palace was busy. Xie Tianyang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lu, is there something wrong?"
Su Jin also noticed that Lu Ping's expression was getting worse. He couldn't help but stop talking. However, from Lu Ping's low voice, he received a piece of shocking news. "Something's wrong, something's very wrong. There's a Skyscraping Demon hiding in Mara's army!"
"What?"
"That's impossible!"
Xie Tianyang and Su Jin shouted almost at the same time. However, their eyes were dyed with a layer of deep worry. Previously, they had only reacted subconsciously. The news brought by Lu Ping was too despairing. However, the two of them knew that Lu Ping would never lie to them about this matter.
Previously, after the four of them joined forces to kill the four Jade Mara, the high-level Mara in the surrounding area had already fled, leaving only the small Mara that the four of them casually killed as they flew. Previously, Su Jin and Xie Tianyang had wanted to bring two strong reinforcements to the cultivators of Zi Yang Palace who were surrounded by Mara. Now, the two of them only wanted to inform the three Great Cultivators of Zi Yang Palace who were doing their best to resist the Asuras.
Most of the cultivators of Zi Yang Palace who could rush out of the camp to fight were at least at the mid Dharma stage. However, the sudden appearance of reinforcements from Mara's army had broken the connection between them, and they were now in a situation where they were fighting on their own. This battlefield affected the void within a radius of nearly a hundred miles. Although the four of them attacked everywhere, there were only a few cultivators of Zi Yang Palace, and there were no traces of the Great Cultivators at all. The four of them could not help but feel anxious.
If the three great cultivators stationed at the campsite could not return in time to defend the campsite, then once the Heavenly Demons appeared, the entire Purple Sun Palace would definitely be defeated. Furthermore, even if the three great cultivators could return in time, with the help of the Heavenly Demons, the campsite would only be able to delay the invasion of the Heavenly Demons.
Where did this Heavenly Demon come from? If this Heavenly Demon really existed, it was definitely not one of the two Heavenly Demons that attacked the Purple Sun Palace's encampment at the mountain pass. Instead, it was a new reinforcement from the Devil Luo army. However, how did this Heavenly Demon manage to sneak into the Devil Luo army without being discovered by the two Pure Yang experts of the Purple Sun Palace?
Xie Tianyang suddenly stopped and said seriously, "No, I'm afraid it's too late if this goes on. Brother Lu, have you really found traces of the Heavenly Demon?"
Yin Tianchu's face darkened. Beside him, Lu Ping hurriedly pulled him back and said, "It's not that we've found traces of the Heavenly Demon, but that the Heavenly Demon is indeed hiding in this Mara's army."
Xie Tianyang nodded and said, "Brother Lu, please don't blame me. This is a serious matter, so I have to be careful."
With that, Xie Tianyang suddenly roared into the sky. A buzzing sound came from the Thin Water Flowing Sword that was circling around Lu Ping. These two flying swords were responding to Xie Tianyang's long roar. Lu Ping's Divine Sense even sensed a rich sword Qi in Xie Tianyang's long roar. This long roar must be a kind of magical power that was derived from swordsmanship.
Just as Xie Tianyang let out a long roar, Su Jin, who was beside him, also roared into the sky. Their roars resonated with each other, and suddenly, their roars reached a higher level. Lu Ping's Divine Sense seemed to have caught a strange vibration in the space. It seemed that this long roar could resonate with something, so that it could be used to transmit some kind of message. This must be a secret technique of the Purple Sun Palace. And looking at Xie Tianyang's solemn expression, it was clear that this long roar contained some kind of code used by the Purple Sun Palace for emergency situations!
As Su Jin joined in the battle, the void a hundred feet away from Lu Ping trembled violently. The Invisible Water Sword couldn't remain in its invisible state due to the turbulence caused by the secret technique. It flashed and disappeared into the void again. This time, it didn't appear again. The Invisible Water Sword couldn't remain invisible anymore. It flashed and disappeared into the void again. This time, it didn't appear again.
The Purple Sun Sky Piercing Howl!
This was a secret technique that relied on the essence of sword Qi to activate the cultivator's own life force. Once this technique was used, all the cultivators of the Purple Sun Palace within a thousand miles would be able to sense it. It should not be used carelessly unless a disaster was about to befall the sect. But once the sword roared, all the disciples of the Purple Sun Palace who sensed it must immediately gather in the direction of the person who made the sword roar.
In the Purple Sun Palace, the cultivators who could use this kind of magical power were either pure Yang Laozu or late Dharma adepts or extremely important people in the sect. And the cultivators who used this kind of magical power would definitely have to bear a great deal of risk.
Additionally, due to how far away the roar was, it was also very taxing on the cultivator who was executing the secret technique. The secret technique required the cultivator's life force as the price. Additionally, the cultivator had to rely on the cultivator's essence sword energy in order to succeed.
This meant that after Xie Tianyang and Su Jin used the Purple Sun Sky-Piercing Howl, their lifespans would definitely be affected to a certain extent, and their strength would also temporarily decrease.
Yin Tianchu let out a muffled groan. Clearly, not only could this howl resonate with the flying swords and spirit treasures, it could also inadvertently attack other cultivators' divine sense. However, this kind of secret technique wasn't specifically targeted at divine sense, so it was even less effective against Lu Ping.
The duo's long howl lasted for about 10 minutes. The Devil Luos in the surroundings were so frightened by this sword howl that they dared not come forward. When the two of them stopped at the same time, an abnormal paleness flashed across their faces.
Lu Ping gave the two of them two Divine Will recovery elixirs refined from Jade Mara's Soul-Devouring Crystal. The two of them swallowed the elixirs without thinking.
Xie Tianyang quickly became spirited and said, "Fortunately, this long roar only needs to be heard by the cultivators near the encampment. Otherwise, the consumption would be much higher!"
Su Jin also nodded. It was clearly the first time the two of them had used this secret technique of the sect. A look of lingering fear flashed across their faces as they said, "I didn't expect the consumption to be so great. However, I think the Martial Uncles and Martial Granduncles should have already received the news."
"I can only hope that our sect's Laozu in the encampment at the mountain pass can spare some time to help. Otherwise, we can only delay for a while. With the cooperation of the Heavenly Demons, Asura's strength will definitely increase. Even if our encampment has defensive arrays, it will not be able to stop the Heavenly Demons."
At this moment, Lu Ping suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if the Elders of Purple Sun Palace have received the news. However, I know that Mara's army has received the news. At the very least, the few of us are in trouble!"
The Cold Ice Soft Sword behind Su Jin shook and said, "How many Jade Mara have come? Although the Purple Sun Sky Piercing Howl has consumed a lot of energy, the drawbacks will only appear later. At this time, our battle strength has not decreased much!"
Lu Ping smiled bitterly and said, "It's not Jade Mara, it's Asura!"
Just as Lu Ping's voice fell, a powerful roar suddenly came from the Mara's army in the distance. Mara's army suddenly spread out and opened up a path. An Asura turned into a golden light. With an unparalleled sharp aura, it directly broke through the void and killed its way to the four of them.
Just as the Asura descended, four consecutive blade lights seemed to pass through the void at the same time and directly appeared three feet in front of the four of them, slashing towards their heads.
When the Mara's army saw the Asura's attack, they immediately cheered and made a ruckus. The Mara's army, which was previously frightened by the four of them and did not dare to advance, immediately swarmed forward and blocked the four's escape route from all directions. Among them, there was no lack of Blood Mara patrolling the surroundings. If the four of them tried to escape, they would definitely be obstructed.
Let's fight!
The Thin Water Flowing Sword flew out and the Flying Chain Slash continuously pierced the golden blade lights in front of him. At the same time, he broke the Asura's attack and was also sent flying more than ten feet back.
Lu Ping fiercely suppressed the shock in his heart. At this moment, Lu Ping finally understood how powerful an Asura at its peak was. The Asura that Lu Ping had killed by a fluke previously was not at its full strength. At the very least, Lin Yu Laozu's sneak attack had destroyed 70% of the Asura's combat power!
The Asura's power was far beyond that of late Dharma adepts. During the Mara's Disaster, there were very few great adepts who could fight against an Asura alone. Even the great adepts of the Zi Yang Palace could only fight against an Asura and buy time. Even if there were two great adepts who were facing an Asura, they would not fight it head-on.
In the instant that Lu Ping pierced through the golden blade lights, the Sword of the True Spirit had already flown up from behind Lu Ping. In the midst of the bluish-purple auspicious clouds, the Sword of the True Spirit had already transformed into a dragon that pounced towards the Asura. At this moment, there was no way out other than to charge forward bravely.
Xie Tianyang and Su Jin had also blocked the Asura's attack. However, looking at their slightly disheveled expressions, it was obvious that they were not as relaxed as Lu Ping was.
The three of them exchanged glances and already knew that today's matter would not end well. As for Yin Tianchu, he had already disappeared the moment the blade lights appeared. Vaguely, Lu Ping seemed to have sensed that Yin Tianchu was already hiding behind him, waiting for the moment that the Asura revealed an opening under the joint attack of the three of them to deliver a fatal blow.
