The golden spear fell from the sky like a meteor, piercing straight into the river.
Because the spear was too long, the front half of the spear sank deep into the mud at the bottom of the river, but the end was still above the surface.
The black python was firmly nailed to the spot, and the golden spear coincidentally pierced through its neck. Half of its body was submerged in the water, faintly discernible. It looked like it was on the verge of death, and not long after, the surrounding river water was dyed red by the dirty blood that flowed down.
Many cultivators on the shore exclaimed. There were many demon cultivators in Donghua Continent, but most of them were of low cultivation level. In the past thousands of years, many of them had been killed by the Devil Sect. It was their first time seeing such a huge demon python, and they were all guessing its origin.
Huo Xuan and the other three stepped on the clouds, and slowly descended into the river.
Luo Qingyu glanced at the demon python and thought for a while. He turned around and said, "Senior Huo, in my opinion, this demon is not suitable for us to deal with. Let's not take its life for now, and bring it back to the elders to decide."
Huo Xuan slowly nodded his head, obviously agreeing with Elder Chen's opinion. From this demon's mouth, they might even be able to investigate many things about that fierce person. Thus, he cupped his hands towards Elder Chen and said, "Elder, please take action and subdue this demon."
Elder Chen said expressionlessly, "Martial Nephew Huo, please move the Great Sun Dragon Sparrow Spear away first. I have a way to take it."
Huo Xuan saw that the black python had no more strength to struggle, so he shook his shoulder lightly. The golden spear sensed it and flew up, disappearing into his High Cloud in the blink of an eye.
Nascent Soul cultivators could place their Dharma treasures in the Astral Clouds to be nourished. After a long time, it could be used as one's own Qi. If one wanted it, its power would be two to three times stronger. Even if it was taken away by others, it could not be used without the Non-Phase Contract. However, this method had a drawback. Even if the treasure was damaged, it would inevitably affect its owner. Even though the benefits were great, not everyone was willing to do it.
Elder Chen raised his hand, and took out a jade box from his sleeve. He opened its cover, and a green light was emitted from it. It shrouded the black python's body, and shook for a while. In a flash, he stowed it away. A moment later, he closed the box and tossed it into his sleeves.
Seeing that the black python had been retracted, Zhong Muqing turned around and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior Martial Brother Huo. What should we do with these four Sky Shuttles? "
Huo Xuan said sternly, "We'll return it to the Sect Master when we return."
Hearing him say this, Zhong and Luo did not say anything. Although they felt it was a pity, they did not insist.
Huo Xuan looked at the two of them and smiled, "Yes, bring it back to the sect. He would have to wait until after the duel to ensure his safety. For now, I'll leave it in the hands of the two Junior Brothers. "
Luo Qingyu and Zhong Muqing looked at each other and smiled. They cupped their hands together and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Huo."
Even though these four Sky Shuttles were not as powerful as before after being separated, it was still a profound weapon. If they could find a way to refine it, they would have an additional talisman to protect themselves when they ascend to the Extreme Heaven, which would be beneficial to them.
As for taking possession of this treasure, no one had such thoughts. To use the Four Symbols Sky Shuttles to its full power like Luo Canghai's, it would require a compatible mystical method. They had their own method of inheritance and would not change to another method halfway through.
Elder Chen seemed to want to avoid arousing suspicion. With a wave of his hand, he threw the White Tiger Sky Shuttles to Huo Xuan and said, "This item is useless with me, Junior Martial Nephew Huo, I'll leave it to you."
Huo Xuan took it and pondered for a moment. He turned around and walked towards Zhang Yan. When he was close, he handed over the Sky Shuttles and said politely, "It's all thanks to Junior Martial Brother's effort that we could break the Four Symbols Sky Shuttles Formation this time. I'll leave this treasure in Junior Martial Brother's care."
Zhang Yan knew that Huo Xuan said he was leaving it to him to take care of, but in reality, he was lending it to him. Zhang Yan did not refuse and accepted it with a carefree smile. He then cupped his hands and bowed as thanks.
At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the sky. Everyone raised their heads to look and saw that the curtain of the sky was like an eye opening. There was a splendor about a mile wide pouring down like a river. When it reached the bottom, it was even more like a torrential wave. The spiritual energy contained within it was incomparably dense, causing people to wonder if they were standing in a paradise.
The cultivators on both sides of the river cried out in surprise. They all sat down cross-legged and greedily absorbed the spiritual energy. They came to the Sword Competition Assembly this time to observe the battles of the various sects and broaden their horizons. They also came to try their luck. With such benefits, how could they miss it?
Huo Xuan looked at the sky a few times. His expression was calm. It wasn't strange at all. Such a strange phenomenon was caused by the restriction on the object dispersing. Once the Divine Gate was opened, the spiritual energy hidden inside would leak out. He said, "Junior Brothers, please return to your respective peaks to breathe and adjust your breathing. Two days later, you'll be able to leave for the Ultimate Heaven."
The leakage of this spiritual energy would only last for one or two days. For small sects of itinerant cultivators, it was something that could only be chanced upon. Even Core Formation cultivators could benefit from it, but for Yuanying cultivators from large sects like them, it wasn't of much use. Therefore, they didn't really care about it.
The four of them exchanged a few more words before they bowed to each other and bid farewell. Huo Xuan and the others then returned to their peaks first.
Zhang Yan also wanted to leave, but he had only taken one step when a thought suddenly emerged in his mind. He stopped moving and turned around again. His eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at the water.
He knew that the backlash of the formation power was indeed powerful, but those who were experienced in fights of magical powers would try to seek luck and avoid disaster. As the disciple of that fierce person, how could Luo Canghai not be on guard? There were many suspicious points in this.
Especially when he had fought with this demon before. The other party could be said to be crafty and cunning. Even though he had exposed the death substitution technique, it was a little too easy for him to take down the demon so easily.
His eyes flickered slightly. Suddenly, he bent his finger and flicked. The Xuanming Heavy Water suddenly shot out. With a thump, it rushed into the water and hit the white python that was hiding at the bottom of the river. Just as it was about to touch its body, the huge python suddenly twisted its body and actually dodged it.
Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo's technique, I was almost fooled by you."
With a splash, the waves were lifted, and the white python scuttled out. It was riding on a cloud in the sky, its sharp claws holding onto the cloud. It looked down from above and spoke in human language, "Zhang Yan, I don't think there's any flaw in this supernatural power of mine. How did you see through it?"
Just Now, he was using the supernatural power passed down in his family, which was called "Reincarnation in a Corpse".
Like the Devil Sect's Body Changing Technique, once it was used, it would greatly reduce one's cultivation.
And this Dao technique of his, after giving birth to a pair of brothers, only one of them would be left in this world, and the other would be refined into a Life Changing Vessel. If he encountered a dangerous situation where he could not escape, as long as they were within a thousand feet of each other, he could use the supernatural power to transfer his spirit into another body. Not only would his cultivation not regress, even his old injuries would be healed, as if he was reborn.
With this supernatural power, the disciples of the Luo family had an extra life. But unless it was a real life and death situation, they would not use it lightly. But he did not expect that such a secret matter would actually be seen through by Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Even though you lost the Four Symbols Heavenly Shuttle, your performance at the end was too bad. It was as if you were at the mercy of others, which was too suspicious. If you had fought hard and then pretended to be defeated, it would really be difficult to see through it."
Luo Canghai stared at him for a moment, then his python body shook and returned to his human form, and there was no sign of exhaustion in his expression.
At this moment, light and shadow flickered, and four streaks of light suddenly arrived and surrounded Luo Canghai. It turned out that Huo Xuan and the others had noticed the commotion here and turned back halfway.
Huo Xuan's expression was solemn as he said, "Good technique. If it wasn't for Junior Brother Zhang noticing, we would have really been deceived by you."
Elder Chen's expression was not too good as well. He prided himself as a respected elder, yet he was unable to see through the flaw, and he felt that he had lost quite a bit of face.
All of them had seen the white python earlier, but because of its long lifespan, it had grown especially strong, and it didn't possess the slightest bit of cultivation. They only took it to be a mount, and it was an insignificant thing in their eyes, so they didn't pay much attention to it. However, they never imagined that Luo Canghai actually possessed such a Divine Ability, and it was truly unexpected.
Luo Canghai looked around and sneered without end. He circulated his cultivation technique, and the strong cloud above him transformed into a black cloud that was 300 meters tall. Water sprayed out like a spring, and the waves circled around thousands of layers. As the waves rolled, the sound of tides could be heard.
He originally wanted to wait for Zhang Yan and the others to leave before breaking through the restriction and leaving a message to ridicule them. But in the end, he still failed on the verge of success. Up until now, he had exhausted all his methods and had no more tricks up his sleeves. But it was impossible for him to just give up like this. Even if he was no match for Luo Canghai, he would only give up after a fight.
At this moment, Luo Qingyu suddenly stood out and said, "It was the two Senior Brothers who seized the talisman earlier, why don't you hand this person over to me?"
Among the three disciples of Qincang School, his cultivation technique was the most tenacious, and the formation diagram in his hand was to encircle the opponent and fight with him, so it was difficult for outsiders to see the mystery within.
Huo Xuan pondered for a while. Just Just Now, Luo Canghai might not be able to defeat Luo Qingyu even at his peak. Now that the Four Symbols Heavenly Shuttle was gone, Luo Canghai had lost his claws and teeth. Even if he still had any skills, Luo Qingyu would not be difficult to deal with. So he said with relief, "Alright, I'll leave this evildoer to you."
Luo Qingyu cupped his hands and bowed. Then, he straightened his fingers and made a gesture. In an instant, a green light spread out and a landscape painting appeared under his feet. The painting was misty and illusory, and there was a faint sound of the ancient zither, which lingered in the air, elegant and distant.
Zhang Yan had entered the "Qing Ping Han Yan Formation Diagram" before, so he was not completely clueless about it. However, at this moment, it seemed to be very different from what he had seen before, and there were many inexplicable changes. It seemed that this formation diagram had been refined to a higher level.
Luo Canghai was surrounded in the middle, but he could not escape. Seeing that there was only one person to fight with him, it was exactly what he wanted, so he did not struggle, but let out a humph and let the formation diagram drag him in.
After a while, the painting scroll closed, and the two figures disappeared, leaving only a cloud of clear air, like a towering mountain, deep and dark, still in the same place.
After a while, the green air suddenly surged, and the auspicious clouds slowly dispersed. A light green spiritual light shot out from it, and paved a path.
Luo Qingyu, dressed in green, stepped out of the cloud light, and Luo Canghai was nowhere to be seen. He came in front of the crowd, bowed and said, "My fellow disciples, I have taken down the evildoer."
