"Three little fellows, how much longer are you going to hide?"
Xie Tianyang's body turned into a fiery ball of light and floated above the lake. The glaring light on the ball of light expanded and contracted, and the scorching heat waves roasted the lake water below. Only after reaching a distance of five hundred feet did a faint white mist rise into the air. The water level of the lake that was several dozen feet deep was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hehe, although the Green Sea Snakes are known as the spirits of the water, you three are still too inexperienced. You dare to enter the Central Plains with such low cultivation, and even come to this desolate Western Wilderness? You must have gone out to play without telling the adults in your families, right?"
Xie Tianyang's words came out from the fiery ball of light. The lake had already shrunk by a third, and the water level had also dropped by nearly ten feet. However, there was still no movement from the lake.
Xie Tianyang frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Then, he chuckled and continued, "Although I am from the Ziyang Palace, I am not afraid of you Green Sea Snakes. However, I do not want to offend you for no reason. I believe there is more than one Flood Dragon Blood Stone. I only want half of it. You three can take the rest. I am even willing to help you three escape from the source of the river and escape the pursuit of the Tenma people and Koi Clan. What do you think?"
There was still no movement from the lake. Xie Tianyang's tone gradually turned cold, "Since you are unwilling to cooperate, I will have to use force!"
Xie Tianyang stretched out his hand, and a raging flame immediately ignited in his palm. As the flame burned, it extended forward. A moment later, a flaming longsword gradually took shape in Xie Tianyang's hand.
The [Li Fire Celestial Sun Sword] had undergone a major change compared to before Xie Tianyang entered the Sacred Lake. The entire flying sword now seemed to have no substance, and only a dazzling blue flame with a hint of white was left.
The [Li Fire Celestial Yang Sword] slowly rose from Xie Tianyang's hand. The violent energy that was brewing within it made it impossible for anyone to doubt that the moment this flying sword slashed down, the entire lake beneath Xie Tianyang's feet would evaporate, and the surrounding tens of feet would become a scorched desert.
The Great Divine Sword Technique of the Purple Sun Palace, "A Single Spark Makes a Great Fire," was originally a set of fire-elemental techniques, but Xie Tianyang had successfully mastered it using his sword techniques. He had even been praised by the Dharma adepts of the Purple Sun Palace, who had named this set of sword techniques the "Heavenly Sun Sword Technique" and had been passed down in the Purple Sun Palace.
With a Core Forging cultivation level, Xie Tianyang was able to transform the sect's ten thousand years of inheritance, which had been tempered hundreds and thousands of times. Furthermore, he had received unanimous praise from the sect's upper echelons. This Xie Tianyang could be said to be the number one person among the third generation disciples of the Purple Sun Palace who had yet to advance to a Dharma Artifact.
However, Xie Tianyang's Li Fire Celestial Yang Sword did not slash at the pool of water beneath his feet. Instead, it drew a strange arc in the air and suddenly stabbed behind him.
Bang!
After a crisp sound, Xie Tianyang's body suddenly lunged forward, and then he slowly turned around, only to see Li Tong still retreating in the air with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother Li, this is not right of you!"
Xie Tianyang's words were light and charming, but there was not the slightest hint of playfulness on his face.
"Hmph!"
Li Tong's sneak attack had failed, and he had instead been forced back by Xie Tianyang's sword. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he did not refute it. He only snorted coldly, but his heart was in turmoil. His attack could be said to have used all his strength, and it was also a sneak attack, but this Xie Tianyang actually resolved it so easily. Furthermore, the power of his counterattack was so turbulent that he almost suffered a loss. Could it be that this person had hidden his strength before this?
Xie Tianyang saw that Li Tong did not reply and only pointed the flying sword in his hand at him from afar. A cold sword aura with a chilling murderous aura permeated through the air.
He was going to kill him!
It was unknown when the sneer on Xie Tianyang's face had disappeared, but his divine sense slowly extended in all directions. He said, "Could it be that Brother Li thinks that you can do anything to me? I don't know where Brother Ma is right now, but since Brother Li has revealed his killing intent, I can only ask Brother Ma to join forces! "
The corner of Li Tong's mouth revealed a trace of a mocking smile. Xie Tianyang's expression immediately changed, "So you really have a helper?"
Several kilometers behind Li Tong, specks of light suddenly appeared. A moment later, these specks of light formed a variety of colors, falling towards Li Tong's back.
Xie Tianyang suddenly came to a realization, "So it was this Xie who leaked my whereabouts. Brother Li deliberately came to kill me, and not by chance. Moreover, you also planned to gang up on me. Unfortunately, Brother Li's method is not enough to keep me here."
After saying that, the light beneath Xie Tianyang's feet flashed. Clearly, he would retreat the moment he sensed that something was amiss. However, as Samling, who had been hiding in the pool of water, did not reveal himself, Xie Tianyang held onto a sliver of hope that Samling did not know why he was hiding here.
At that moment, a series of firecracker-like sounds suddenly rang out from the direction opposite Li Tong. Violent spiritual energy fluctuations spread all the way there, causing Li Tong's face to sink. He waved his hand and the Koi Clan cultivators behind him quickly flanked him from both sides. The flying sword in Li Tong's hand flashed and he took the lead in attacking Xie Tianyang.
Although Xie Tianyang was confident that his strength was above Li Tong's, he did not dare to fall into a situation where the Koi Clan was ganging up on him. With a flash of light, he escaped the encirclement of the Koi Clan cultivators. With the exception of Li Tong, none of the other Koi Clan cultivators could keep up with Xie Tianyang's speed.
"Oh, right." Xie Tianyang blocked Li Tong's attempts to get close to him while saying in a mocking tone, "This Xie has underestimated you fellows. I believe the one coming from the other side is Fourth Young Master Ma. Are you fellows planning on a pincer attack?"
"A pity, the Heavens do not grant the wishes of men!"
Li Tong let out a muffled groan and the flying sword in his hand suddenly turned into countless sword rays that swam towards Xie Tianyang from all directions. At first glance, it actually looked similar to Lu Ping's [Water Seep Sword Art].
A flaming lotus abruptly blossomed above Xie Tianyang's head and a clump of scorching white light suddenly appeared around him. No matter how many fish made of sword light approached Xie Tianyang, they would all be roasted into wisps of smoke.
Xie Tianyang was just about to open his mouth to ridicule Li Tong when he saw the Koi Clan cultivators who had wanted to surround him earlier stop. After Xie Tianyang retreated, the encirclement they had formed earlier happened to encircle the lake.
A trace of vexation flashed across Xie Tianyang's face. Since the other party could discover that he was hiding here, how could they not figure out his objective? However, it had become a habit for the great forces to kill off the disciples with potential from the other side. Thus, when Xie Tianyang saw Li Tong charging towards him aggressively, he assumed that Li Tong was here for him.
At this time, Xie Tianyang wanted to move forward but was stopped by Li Tong. Although Xie Tianyang was confident that his strength was above Li Tong's, it was impossible for him to defeat Li Tong in a short period of time.
As the cultivators of the Koi Clan were about to form a battle formation around the lake, they suddenly heard the sound of explosions coming from behind them. The explosions were getting closer and closer. Then, they saw a chaotic stream of light, mixed with the roars of countless spells and the clashing of magic treasures, smashing into the lake that the Koi Clan had surrounded like a meteor falling from the sky.
Chaos, complete chaos!
Just as Li Tong launched a sneak attack on Xie Tianyang, the cultivators of the Pegasus Clan, led by the cultivator who thought himself to be smart, had also approached the vicinity of the lake. If not for Ma Chenxi's pursuit of Sixth Brother Lei, the Tenma people and the Koi Clan might have formed a pincer attack and surrounded Xie Tianyang.
However, it wasn't too late. Just as the Tenma people sped up and prepared to converge with the Koi Clan, dozens of cultivators from the source of the river suddenly charged out. Both sides were shocked when they suddenly met.
The Tenma people were after all used to being arrogant. The Tenma people cultivator at the front didn't think and stretched out his leg. A huge energy giant foot directly charged towards the closest cultivator among the dozens of cultivators that were dozens of feet away.
"Ah!" A scream broke the strange situation between the two sides. Zhang Zhi Ming was the leader of the dozens of cultivators. He was the first to yell, "You've gone too far. Everyone, let's attack together and kill!"
Actually, there was no need for Zhang Zhi Ming to instigate. The dozens of cultivators had already fought back. The Tenma people naturally wouldn't show any weakness. Both sides immediately tangled together in mid-air.
After Zhang Zhi Ming finished yelling, he shrank his body and wanted to escape from the chaotic battle. He had gathered so many cultivators and naturally knew that his side was just a motley crew. Although he had the advantage in numbers, he didn't have the cohesion of the Tenma people. He could collapse at any time.
However, when he wanted to leave, someone had already targeted him!
"Zhang Zhi Ming, it seems that Western Wilderness Palace can only do some shady business of sowing discord!"
The cultivator who temporarily acted as the leader of the Tenma people had already noticed Zhang Zhi Ming the moment the two sides met.
Zhang Zhi Ming's expression didn't change. He stretched out his hand and pointed. The Tenma people cultivator was stunned, but suddenly felt something strange behind him. He turned around and struck out with his palm. A violent wave of spiritual energy collided with the thing behind him, and another spiritual energy storm exploded.
"Art of Heaven and Earth Reversal!"
The Heavenly Pea Clan cultivator shouted and the stream of light beneath his feet suddenly transformed into four horse hooves. Instantly, the Heavenly Pea Clan cultivator transformed into a beam of light to rapidly circle Zhang Zhiming, not giving Zhang Zhiming the opportunity to utilize the Western Desolation Palace's formidable magic technique that was renowned for.
Both sides already knew that Xie Tianyang might have found the Green Sea Snake and its location. Although both sides were in a chaotic battle, they intentionally or unintentionally moved towards the direction of the lake. This just happened to cause chaos among the Tenma people cultivators who were setting up formations around the lake.
Li Tong's expression changed. He turned around and was about to attack. This time, Xie Tianyang stuck close to him and swept his sword horizontally, forcing Li Tong to retreat. However, Xie Tianyang laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting. This kind of chaotic battle is rare. Brother Li, don't be in a hurry to command your people. Although the Pegasus Clan has come, Brother Ma hasn't come as well!"
Li Tong's expression froze. Before he could turn around to look, in the depths of the river source, a loud, dull sound suddenly rang out.
Li Tong and Xie Tianyang both stared blankly for a moment, before both sides simultaneously stopped fighting. Both of them could hear that something was wrong from the muffled sound, and could see the astonishment on both sides' faces.
"Since when can Dharma adepts enter the river source?"
This was the only thought left in the minds of both of them.
