Before Zhang Yan reached the place he wanted to go, he sensed a ball of turbid spiritual vigor on the way. If it was a Xuanmen cultivator, it would not look like this. Moreover, the aura was mixed, indicating that the person's cultivation level had reached a very high level. Even if he had not cultivated the Nascent Embryo, he was not far from it.
He was searching for Demonic Sect cultivators. Since he had bumped into them, there was no reason for him to let them go. He turned around, changed his direction slightly, and flew towards the place where the person was.
In a Void Space, a Daoist with a long face and a wide forehead was traveling. This was Elder Nie Yi of the Xueshuo Sect. He was also very cautious. Every time he entered a Void Space, he would first sense the movement around him to see if there was anything unusual.
At this moment, the Xuanling and Xuanling families were almost scattered in all directions. If he was unlucky, it was very possible to bump into a Nascent Embryo Perfected Master.
Because of this, if he felt something was wrong, he would rather choose to retreat first than to meet the enemy face to face.
After passing through another Void Space, he suddenly felt a warning. He saw a flash of spiritual light not far away, and then it spread outwards. A Daoist in a black robe walked out. Xuan Qi was rolling behind him, and there were two sword lights circling around him.
"Zhang Yan?"
When Nie Yi saw him, he could not help but be shocked.
If there was a Xuanmen cultivator that he did not want to meet now, it would be Zhang Yan without a doubt.
Now everyone knew that the Qincang School's Hall Master Du Zhen was even more ferocious and aggressive than Yan Changsheng back then. Let's not talk about what happened in the ancient times, but for tens of thousands of years, there had never been a Grotto-heaven cultivator like Zhang Yan, who had killed so many of his peers. Even Qu Ruyi, who was a Nascent Embryo Cultivator, could be killed directly. He felt that he could not be this person's opponent, so at this moment, without thinking, he immediately used the Blood Transformation Escape Technique. His body turned into a ray of blood, and he flew into the sky.
Zhang Yan's gaze followed. At the same time, he raised his sleeve and used the Five Elements Escape Technique.
He was very clear that when fighting with Demonic Sect cultivators, the most important thing to guard against was their endless Death Substitution Technique and Escape Technique. In the ten thousand year battle with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, there was naturally a way for them to survive.
Nie Yi's body paused uncontrollably, but the Blood Transformation Escaping Technique was one of the three great escaping techniques of the Devil's Doctrine after all. At this moment, he did not sit and wait for death. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and transformed into two Blood Souls that dashed in different directions. Whether it was the aura or the Spiritual Vigor, it was no different from his own. Those who did not know the details would not be able to tell it apart.
At this moment, two figures that looked exactly like him walked out from behind Zhang Yan. They were the two clones of Prominent Yang and Manifestation.
Xian Yang's clone took out the "Pi Beast Immortal Lamp" and tossed it into the sky, immediately capturing the spiritual energy of this region.
Even though Nie Yi was once again pinned down, but compared to Xiao Lingyun, his reaction was extremely fast, immediately a swift light flew out, accurately hitting the celestial lamp. After shaking it off a little, the binding force was reduced by more than half.
He just needed to open his eyes slightly and he would be able to break free. However, at this moment, the Clear Swan Sword in the Sky flashed, turning into thousands of sword lights that scattered down.
Facing a killing sword artifact, he didn't dare to be careless. He had no choice but to summon out a blood cocoon. Strands of it covered his entire body, not leaving a single gap. As for the two Blood Soul Clones, he couldn't care about them.
Zhang Yan's series of attacks could be said to come one after the other. Although it wasn't intense, he could only struggle to deal with it.
Under the slashes of the dense sword light, the two clones that weren't protected were instantly broken. However, after it dissipated, it did not disappear. Instead, it turned into two extremely vast surging blood clouds. Wherever it came into contact with, the blood clouds would explode. Everywhere they touched, the mountain rocks fell, the grass and trees all rotted. Not only that, but the sword light that had come into contact with it had also become much heavier, as if it was slowly being tainted by it.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. With a thought, the sword light instantly turned into streaks of fire. The blood stains on them melted away, and they returned to their original appearance.
Although his transformation into a sword was not as sharp as the Killing Sword, nor was it as fast and traceless as the Limitless Sword, but after merging the Five Elements Divine Light into it, it was able to handle most situations, and there were almost no shortcomings to speak of.
In a short moment, Nie Yi was slashed by dozens of sword lights. The blood cocoon on his body was damaged everywhere, but it was like a living thing, continuously wriggling and healing. In the end, it wasn't broken. It was obvious that it was a protective treasure.
Zhang Yan didn't care. His intention was to delay his opponent. Since he forced him to stop defending, then his goal had been achieved.
With a thought, he scattered the sword light, covering all directions, sealing off all paths of escape for Nie Yi. At this point, he was like a bug that fell into a spider web, unable to escape.
He waved his sleeve again, and dozens of ink-colored water droplets flew out. They were the Deep Pond Water.
Although Nie Yi trusted the Blood Cocoon Robe, he knew that Zhang Yan's methods weren't simple. He wasn't willing to be hit for no reason, and wanted to dodge.
But at this moment, the "avatar" that hadn't moved yet immediately took out a Five Elements Escape Art and trapped his figure.
The water droplets fell in an instant, and about seven or eight of them hit his body. With a series of booming sounds, the blood cocoon couldn't take the force and burst open.
Outside, the Qinghong Sword was already waiting. Seeing that the protective item was broken, the sword light from all directions attacked at the same time.
Nie Yi was also strong, in the face of such a dangerous situation, he still did not give up resisting, and continuously changed several kinds of supernatural powers and death substitution skills, but under such a siege, he was destined to be defeated. After struggling for a few breaths, he was finally killed by the sword light.
Zhang Yan pointed at his glabella. Accompanied by a clear and melodious sound, the Nine Subduing Devil Slip flew out. With a circle, it swept away all of Nie Yi's essence, Qi, and spirit. Then, with a soft hum, it returned to his acupoint.
He waved his sleeve and released a ray of fire, sweeping away the bloodstains in the area. Then, with a thought, it merged with the sword light and flew into the sky.
On the other side, Zhenren Kangzheng and the others were still being harassed by the three Shaoqing Supreme Sword Cultivators. But they knew that they could counterattack once everyone was here, so they kept their composure.
The three sword lights in the sky spun and stopped at a mountain peak. They were Xue An, Feng Xuanzhao, and Ran Xiushu.
Feng Xuanzhao said, "Elder Xue, this world is vast. The people of Yuxiao are neither advancing nor retreating after arriving here. It's obvious that they're waiting for reinforcements."
Elder Xue said, "So what? The more people that come, the fewer enemies our fellow Daoists will encounter elsewhere. The three of us will delay so many of them. Isn't this a gain?"
Feng Xuanzhao nodded in agreement.
Ran Xiushu was a junior, and he was lazy. Seeing that the two of them didn't question him, he was happy and kept quiet.
About a moment later, the three of them moved again, and the three sword lights attacked one after another.
They wanted to use this method to keep the people of Yuxiao from relaxing and keep them in a state of constant vigilance. As the saying went, a prolonged defense was bound to be lost. As time went on, they would naturally reveal their flaws.
After fighting for another hour, a clear light appeared in the distance. Three cultivators walked out. They were Wu Yunqing, Wu Yunbi, and Zhou Ruying from Yuxiao Sect. They were cultivators of Yuxiao after all, so they were familiar with the formation. That was why they arrived before the people of Devil Sect.
Reverend Kang Zheng took a look and felt that the number of people was sufficient. Moreover, in order to prevent Shaoqing and the other two from retreating, he decided not to wait for the Evil Sect people and moved right away. He transmitted his voice to everyone present and said, "Move!"
As he spoke, he threw out a stone. There was a seven-colored light on it, and it was like a rainbow that filled the sky.
This object was known as the "Rotating Boulder". After being specially refined by the Yuxiao school, the magnetic force within it was more than a hundred times stronger. It could immediately freeze the three's sword lights for a short moment, and in the next few breaths, they could no longer fly like before.
Naturally, this treasure alone could not take down the opponent. If they felt that something was wrong, they would immediately use their supernatural power to escape. Therefore, they still had another treasure …
Wu Yunqing reached into his sleeve and took out an item. This was known as the "Lock of Surrender", and it was the treasure of the Wu Clan. There was no need to use it, but it could freeze the Empty Realm and prevent people from escaping.
These two treasures alone could not deal with the cultivators of the Extreme Sword Sect. However, when used together, it was enough to make the Extreme Sword Sect lose its greatest advantage. In addition, they had more than twice the number of people, so they had the absolute advantage. If they were lucky, it would not be an extravagant hope to keep all three of them here.
Elder Xue and the others felt their bodies freeze, and they immediately used their supernatural power to escape. However, they could not do it.
Elder Xue immediately shook his sword light. Not only did he not leave, but he also charged forward and transmitted his voice, "Go, don't let me die in vain."
When the other two heard this, they did not hesitate and flew away. Their actions could be said to be very decisive.
They all knew that the Yuxiao school had prepared for this moment for a long time. If they stayed, they would only die together. However, if they could escape with their lives, they could return in the future and kill the people who killed Elder Xue one by one.
When the people of the Yuxiao school saw this, they immediately wanted to stop them. However, at this moment, there was a flash in front of them, and an incomparably sharp sword light shone in their direction.
Almost everyone present could feel the determination to die. They immediately understood that whoever rushed forward at this moment, that sword would definitely be slashed at that person.
If they had no way out, they would have to kill their way forward no matter what. However, now that they had firmly gained the upper hand, most people naturally weighed the pros and cons.
Elder Xue knew that as long as there was a moment of delay, Ran Xiushu and Feng Xuanzhao would be able to get far away, even if their speed was not as fast as before.
However, at this moment, one of the people of the Yuxiao school seemed to be slightly unaffected. He rushed out of the formation and used the Star Pulling Technique on the two of them, immediately holding them back.
When Elder Xue saw this person, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. However, he did not hesitate at all. He gathered all of the magic power and essence in his body and slashed at the person.
When he drew his sword, everyone on Yu Xiao's side unleashed their mystiques and dao techniques, all of which were directed at him.
Boom!
Almost at the same time that Elder Xue killed the person, he was also engulfed by a wave of starlight.
