The island-protecting formation of Xuan Qi Island was an energy shield formed by the gathering of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. It could be broken by external forces from a single point, but it would restore the broken shield in a very short period of time. Of course, this would consume a huge amount of energy from the formation itself. This was why Hu Lili and the other three stayed in Daoist Master Qu Xuancheng's cave mansion to constantly replace the Spirit Stones that contained spiritual power.
Of course, this was under the condition that external forces were not enough to completely destroy the island-protecting formation. For example, Lu Ping used two minor magical attacks on Flying Thunder Island to break the island-protecting formation of the Li family. That situation was first because the Li family did not have any cultivators to guard the formation, and secondly, it was deliberately done by Lu Ping. Moreover, the power of the island-protecting formation of the Li family on Flying Thunder Island was far inferior to that of Xuan Qi Island.
Lu Ping's Divine Sense swept around and found that although the island-protecting formation of Xuan Qi Island was broken by the joint efforts of the demonic beasts from time to time, and a few demonic beasts broke in, they were quickly killed by the cultivators. It did not affect Xuan Qi Island too much. Most of the cultivators could rely on the protection of the island-protecting formation to use the magic weapons in their hands to resist the attacks of the demonic beasts outside the island.
Lu Ping, who was relieved, used the Divine Sense attack that he had just learned from his teacher's speech and unexpectedly injured the Daoist Master outside the island. The Golden Scale Sword took the opportunity to slash the Daoist Master's throat.
When the demonic cultivator woke up, his face turned pale with fright. He only had time to cast a small protective magical power, but it was pierced by the Golden Scale Sword. A bloody light flashed, and a crisp sound rang out. The Golden Scale Sword was protected by a blood-red magical ring around its neck. The blade of the sword streaked across the magical ring and cut off a large piece of flesh from the demonic cultivator's shoulder.
Although the transformed Daoist Master was no different from a normal human, being seriously injured by a cultivator of the same level still made this Daoist Master burst out with primitive hostility.
A long and painful howl rang out, as the Sage Yao Cultivator instantly escaped from Lu Ping's attack range. At the same time, a long spear appeared in his hand, which he hurled towards the island's Grand Array Formation.
The speed of the spear was extremely fast. Before Lu Ping could block it with his Golden Scale Sword, a crisp sound rang out. The spear had already pierced through the island's Grand Protective Array, leaving a large hole of ten feet in size. The demonic beasts outside burst into a clamor, as if they were cheering for the strength of the Daoist Demon Cultivator. Several demonic beasts leaped up one after another, and before the island's Grand Protective Array could automatically repair itself, they crashed into the hole.
The cultivators on Xuan Qi Island spontaneously formed five simple formations and surrounded the demonic beasts. Suddenly, several red lines appeared on the bodies of the five late Blood Condensation demonic beasts. Under the shocked gazes of the cultivators, the demonic beasts fell to the ground and broke into dozens of pieces. Blood splattered all over the ground.
The cultivators on the island looked at Lu Ping excitedly. Among the cultivators present, only a Core Forging Enlightened Master like Lu Ping had the ability to instantly kill the late Blood Condensation demonic beasts with such a strange method.
The Sage Yao Cultivator outside the island looked at Lu Ping with increasingly gloomy eyes. He stretched out his hands and threw another two spears towards the Grand Protective Array.
This time, Lu Ping was already prepared. The Golden Scale Sword sprinkled out sword light that filled the sky, and it slashed towards the two spears.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang" The sound of metal clashing rang out incessantly. Lu Ping's expression changed. Amidst Lu Ping's sword light, a spear actually broke through the encirclement and pierced a large hole in the Grand Protective Array. One of the cultivators couldn't dodge in time and could only let out a scream before the spear pierced through his body. He was dead.
However, the spear that fell to the ground disappeared, leaving behind a large bloody hole in the cultivator's body. In Lu Ping's divine sense, the spear suddenly exploded into a ball of spiritual energy and quickly disappeared into the Heaven and Earth.
This spear wasn't a magic tool, but a minor divine ability of the Sage Yao Cultivator!
Lu Ping instantly sensed that something was wrong. With a flash of light, he appeared outside Xuan Qi Island. The Sage Yao Cultivator thrust another two spears at him. Lu Ping's Golden Scale Sword only managed to cut down one spear, but the other spear pierced through the Grand Protective Array and killed a Late Blood Condensation cultivator.
When the attacking demonic beasts outside the island saw that Lu Ping, a human Core Forging cultivator, had suddenly left the island, they howled. Several more demonic beasts flew into the hole that the spear pierced through and started fighting with the cultivators inside.
However, before the demonic beasts could get excited for long, a strange buzzing sound came from afar. A purple cloud flowed over from the center of Xuan Qi Island, instantly wrapping around a Peak Blood Condensation demonic beast that had just escaped from the cultivators' encirclement.
An enraged roar came from the purple cloud, which then turned into a scream. The purple cloud continued to sway, and it looked as if the demonic beast was struggling in its true form. However, as the scream grew softer and softer, the purple cloud also grew calmer.
At this moment, the purple cloud suddenly exploded, leaving only a corpse riddled with holes on the ground. The purple cloud that had exploded gathered once again in the sky. At this time, people could clearly see that this purple cloud was actually nearly a thousand fist-sized purple bees.
The swarm of bees flew over and circled above the Xuan Qi Island cultivators. Only then did the Xuan Qi Island cultivators notice that among the buzzing of the purple bees, there seemed to be a deep but distant sound of drum beating.
Once a demonic beast broke through the island's Grand Protective Array, the sound of the drum would change. The swarm of bees would gather in the sky, forming a rotating array that would envelop one of the demonic beasts. When the swarm of bees exploded and reassembled in the sky, only the demonic beast's corpse was left on the ground.
After leaving Xuan Qi Island, Lu Ping quickly rushed towards the demonic cultivator. At the same time, Lu Ping also understood why Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng left Xuan Qi Island to fight with the demonic cultivator.
Although the Grand Protective Array could withstand the attacks of demonic beasts, it could only protect Blood Condensation Realm cultivators and Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts. However, for Enlightened Masters in the Core Forging Realm, the Grand Protective Array might be able to stop them for a while, but Enlightened Masters in the Core Forging Realm had ways to kill the Blood Condensation Realm cultivators who were protected by the array. Lu Ping could only passively defend against the demonic cultivator's attacks. Even though Lu Ping had a thousand tricks up his sleeves, the Grand Protective Array had become an obstacle for him.
Just as Lu Ping left Xuan Qi Island, he realized something. This was also a sect's hope for its cultivators. During the Blood Condensation Realm, the sect would protect the cultivators. But once the cultivators entered the Core Forging Realm and became high-grade cultivators, the sect would have to shoulder the responsibility and face the sect head-on instead of hiding behind the array formation to avoid the danger.
When the demonic cultivator saw Lu Ping leaving Xuan Qi Island, his expression changed. He turned around and wanted to retreat. When Lu Ping was protecting his sect's Blood Condensation Realm cultivators in the Grand Protective Array, the demonic cultivator had nothing to fear. But when Lu Ping stood out, the demonic cultivator immediately remembered Lu Ping's sharp sword strike.
Seeing him retreat, Lu Ping's face was filled with anger. This person had killed two of his sect's disciples in front of him. This made Lu Ping feel ashamed. The cultivator who was pierced by the spear was obviously not able to dodge the demonic cultivator's attack. However, it was obvious that he was very confident in Lu Ping's protection and was a little careless.
Although the demonic cultivator's expression was a little anxious, he didn't panic when retreating. But at this moment, he heard Lu Ping's cold snort. The demonic cultivator had a bad premonition. Suddenly, a cold intent came from his side.
The demonic cultivator recalled the scene of those Late Blood Condensation demonic beasts being strangely dismembered on Xuan Qi Island, and a chill ran down his spine. A blood-red ring appeared once again, growing bigger and trapping the demonic cultivator inside.
However, that cold intent suddenly disappeared, the Daoist Master Yao was suspicious, the blood red ring magic treasure was still protecting him, but suddenly discovered that the top of his head darkened, a huge silver jade colored seal descended with a loud rumble.
The demonic cultivator instantly sensed the huge power contained in the seal. His expression changed dramatically. A huge clamshell suddenly rose up, and the demonic cultivator's upper body suddenly transformed into a huge, ferocious-looking, iron-armed crocodile. It raised both its arms, and the surface of the huge clamshell was suddenly covered with a layer of iron-black halo.
Lu Ping knew that the demonic cultivator had fused his protective divine ability with the clamshell-shaped protective treasure. This was a secret technique commonly used by Core Forging Daoists to greatly enhance their defensive abilities.
This was the first time Chen Lian used Landslide after it was upgraded to a magic treasure. Although it only condensed one restriction, it made a qualitative leap in the power of Landslide.
A loud noise resounded, causing the attacks of the demonic beasts that were attacking Xuan Qi Island in the distance to stagnate. When Landslide fell, it brought about a huge wind pressure that compressed the seawater under the demonic cultivator's feet into a huge pit.
The demonic cultivator, whose upper body had transformed into a demonic body, stubbornly resisted the pressure of Landslide. His entire iron-black body suddenly overflowed with a layer of strange red.
However, this was not the end. "Ding Ding" two crisp sounds rang out. The red bracelet around the demonic cultivator's body was knocked by two identical jade bracelets. A cold and hot aura was suddenly channeled into the blood-red bracelet. The blood-red bracelet suddenly trembled with a buzzing sound.
The demonic cultivator's expression changed. His Zhen Yuan, under the guidance of the cold and hot aura in the bracelet, suddenly had a feeling of losing control.
The red light on the surface of the demonic cultivator's body flourished, unexpectedly pushing back Landslide in one fell swoop. Just as he was about to stabilize the blood-red bracelet, he suddenly looked startled. He reached out to touch his neck.
Just as the demonic cultivator's hand touched his neck, a faint red line appeared.
The demonic cultivator looked at Lu Ping with a look of despair and fear. He opened his mouth and let out a howl. Suddenly, blood burst out of his throat, and his head fell backward. The howl stopped abruptly.
When the demonic beasts that were attacking the formation behind him wailed, as if they had received a shocking command, they all sank into the seawater. The demonic birds in the sky also scattered. Lu Ping took the opportunity to throw a little turtle into the seawater. The little turtle's feet were still entangled with three small snakes.
The cultivators on Xuan Qi Island behind him had just burst into a burst of cheers when three consecutive howls suddenly came from three directions several miles away. Three Core Forging stage demonic cultivator's aura rushed straight over. Lu Ping's expression changed. This was obviously a trap, waiting for the Core Forging stage cultivator to fall into it. However, he didn't expect that the demonic cultivator, who was the bait, would die before he could lure Lu Ping into the trap.
Lu Ping's heart palpitated not because of the three Core Forging stage demonic cultivators, but because of where Daoist Qu Xuancheng was.
