This was an illusory sea. There were maple trees of different heights everywhere, each with a different crown. They were distributed irregularly. The entire forest glowed with a light like the setting sun. The falling maple leaves rode on the golden light and wandered freely. The snow was covered in a thick layer of fallen leaves. They crunched when they stepped on them. Everyone who just entered was involuntarily affected and could not help but walk deeper.
Ah —
The rising and falling screams were like sharp knives that cut open this painting. A demon warrior's foot sank deeply. The fallen leaves suddenly bared their fangs and transformed into the carving knives of top craftsmen, cutting away the flesh that had sunk in. When he pulled his foot back, he only saw white bones from the knee down. There was not a trace of flesh on them, like exquisite master-level sculptures. Another ghost encountered a passionate maple leaf and turned into a butterfly to follow him. When he became more and more impatient, it suddenly turned into a mouth and bit off his head. There was even a disciple of the Evil God Pagoda who was surrounded by countless maple leaves. When the maple leaves dispersed, all that was left was a dark brown meat patty.
Such a scene played out at every moment. Those who were strong and cautious by nature were carefully searching for traces of their enemies in the forest. They gradually discovered that the golden radiance was gradually weakening, and thus knew that the effects of the life and death force field had begun to show, and that this region would soon be unable to hold on any longer.
"Separated?"
"Separated."
The expression under Zhu Rong's mask was as cold and deep as the pool of water in a deep cave. At some point, only the disciples of his sect remained behind him. None of the people of the Mu Yun Sect had disappeared.
"He must have escaped." Guan Xiaolong felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. Thinking back to his experiences in the past few days, it was as if an invisible pair of hands had slowly pushed him to this step. Ever since Li Hongzhuang was exposed, he felt like he was a prey that had been targeted for a long time. However, the main target of the hunter was not him. At most, he was a rabbit that was just an appetizer.
"What is going on? Have they all gone crazy? " Xu Longxiang's legs were a little weak. The deep maple forest gave him a great deal of pressure. He stopped and did not dare to go forward.
"Shouldn't you be the one answering my question?" Guan Xiaolong said, suppressing his anger. He didn't trust anyone, especially the people sent by Li Hongzhuang. However, he did not dare to say too much, fearing that Zhu Rong would discover an even more terrifying truth.
"Shut up and listen to me!" Zhu Rong observed the Divine Realm and found that the aura of the Divine Realm was gradually weakening. He made up his mind. "Li Xueyi has already surpassed the level of God Realm in creating such a realm. She must have consumed a lot of energy, and with the life and death force field constantly drawing energy, she won't be able to maintain it for long. Now, we have no other choice. If Little Yan doesn't die, I'm afraid that the Five Elements Sect will be in danger … "He turned around and glanced at the group of disciples, then said in an unprecedentedly solemn tone," Now is the moment of life and death for our sect. Whether we can survive this crisis or not depends on whether you are willing to risk your lives or not! "
Guan Xiaolong thought about it carefully and knew how difficult the situation was. How could he survive if he didn't kill Yan Li? Of course, he could also choose to flee for his life, but that kind of life was no different from death to him, who was used to enjoying life. "Master, what should we do!"
Zhu Rong naturally could not see through Guan Xiaolong's thoughts. Seeing that he was the first to step forward, he thought that his judgment was indeed not bad.
Wrong, accepting a disciple who was so considerate of the sect, all these years of love and care were not in vain. He immediately said with relief, "I'll find Little Yan and use the Divine Realm to fight Li Xueyi head-on. All you need to do is to kill him with all your strength and then imprison his soul. If you have no other choice, it's fine if you can't get his soul, but the most important thing is to kill him!"
"Yes, kill him!" Xu Longxiang's face under the mask revealed a ferocious expression. Although he did not know why Li Hongzhuang wanted to do this, he believed that falling into Yan Li's hands would not end well.
Zhu Rong was a little surprised by his cousin Guan Xiaolong's enthusiasm. He secretly noted it down and planned to promote him when he returned. He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Alright, focus and get ready. We must join forces to give Little Yan a thunderous blow. If we give him a chance to fight back, the consequences will be unimaginable." Everyone knew that he was referring to the "Hidden Sword Technique".
"Let's begin."
Zhu Rong sat cross-legged on the ground and made a few hand seals. Then, he took out a piece of talisman paper. Yan Li's appearance appeared in his mind. Intense hatred ignited the talisman paper, and the small fire instantly turned into a raging flame. It was as if the paper had been set on fire, and a big hole was burned in front of him. Guan Xiaolong and the others saw that Yan Li was on the other side of the hole. They would be able to catch him if they went through.
"The Immortal State …"
A flame mark suddenly appeared between Zhu Rong's eyebrows, and a burning ring of fire suddenly flew out from his body. Wherever the ring of fire passed, it was set ablaze. The raging flame instantly burned the maple forest within a few miles into ashes. The process was so fast that it was as if the maple forest had never existed, or as if someone had just changed the scenery.
"Kill!" Guan Xiaolong shouted and rushed into the hole first.
Yan Li looked at the broken pieces on the ground and was stunned for a moment. He picked up a piece and examined it with his divine sense. Suddenly, he was shocked. There was his mark on the sword, so his divine sense could pass through it without any hindrance. On the level of divine sense, there was also a huge and sophisticated structure inside the broken sword, just like a miniature Li Ya. He picked up a few more pieces and found that they were no exception. What was even more strange was that there was a faint connection between the broken swords. There was an invisible thread connecting them, which was completely different from the feeling of being damaged. Although there were many pieces, they were actually a whole, like a precious relic that needed a spell to be activated.
But the problem was, how to activate it?
Yan Li was not sure if Li Ya had succeeded in his advancement. If he had succeeded, how could he be worthy of all the treasures he had paid for his advancement to the Moon Grade without making a single sound? That was one-tenth of the wealth of a Confucian orthodoxy. Then, he found a strange phenomenon. His divine sense penetrated through one piece and came out from another. Not only were they connected, but even the internal space was integrated. But why did it break?
"Father, father, you really gave me a difficult problem!"
Yan Li was a little worried. Gu Haiyuan had greatly overestimated his ability. This kind of complicated design could only be completely analyzed by a master craftsman. Even a skilled craftsman would not be much better than him. At this time, he suddenly remembered a sentence that Gu Haiyuan said when he was alive. He had forgotten most of the original content of the sentence, but there was a small part that left a deep impression on him.
"So let me tell you, this so-called talisman is the rearrangement of the different orders of everything in the world. It is like an army, formed by ten thousand civilians.
If the phalanx of soldiers cooperates well with each other, advancing and retreating, it can easily destroy the scattered regular cavalry troops … "
Gu Haiyuan once said that the later stages of the Li Ya's advancement required a very high level of attainment in talisman. At first, Yan Li thought that the old man wanted him to learn the Dao of talisman. The reason why he had a deep impression of this sentence was because the principle of the sword technique was the same. For example, the "Sheathe Edge" evolved from the "Green Lotus Sword Song" would not have any effect if the first and second style did not cooperate, or if the order was slightly wrong. When it was attached to the Tool Crystal, a similar reaction happened.
"Could it be that I was still wrong about the order?"
Yan Li looked around. Time did not allow him to make a new deduction. Could it be that he had to stop here? He painstakingly created this situation to solve all his worries and settle all his grudges in this valley. But without the Li Ya, he and Li Hongzhuang could only run for their lives. How could he be willing?
Sensing the approaching murderous intent, he had already recognized the newcomers' auras. After all, two of them were irreconcilable enemies.
"There must be a way! Think again … think again … "
"Wait! Talisman is the rearrangement of the different orders of everything in the world … An army is not just a phalanx, there is also the Long Snake Formation, the Swallowtail Formation, the Sharp Arrow Formation, the Flying Wing Formation … Different formations can deal with different situations. They are born because they are 'useful'. Just like a teapot, it will be born because someone needs it, and then it will continue to exist … I've always been wrong! "
Yan Li's eyes suddenly became brighter than the stars. Rearranging things in different orders to produce different effects, then there was no pattern or template. No matter how large, detailed, and complicated the internal structure of the Li Ya was, it was all born because of "needs".
What are my needs? What kind of changes do I need from the Li Ya?
At this time, Guan Xiaolong had already swung his sword at Yan Li. His sword slashed through the air, immediately forming several ice swords that were like water droplets. The ice swords glowed like crystals, but what they flashed was a sharp cold light.
At this moment, Yan Li's eyes were pierced by that cold light. He instinctively felt a disgusted aura, and then he instinctively thought of something — the Song of Shattered Jade! He instantly understood. When he had attached the Tool Crystal, his consciousness had been filled with the appearance, shape, and abilities of the Song of Shattered Jade. In a situation where he was unaware, he had subconsciously hoped that the Li Ya could have some more changes to make up for the monotony of his moves. Thus, the Li Ya had shattered into the appearance of the Song of Shattered Jade.
He then remembered that although the Song of Shattered Jade had been destroyed, its core still emitted a kind of power. It seemed to be the secret behind the Song of Shattered Jade that could evolve into that form.
What would happen if he fused this core into the Li Ya?
Yan Li was given a fright by this idea that had suddenly popped up in his mind. Everything he had learned in his life was warning him: it was impossible for Precious Artifacts to fuse together, especially Precious Artifacts that had been forged by different cultivators. Even the supreme treasure of the Three Realms, the "Essence of Moon Soul", could only fuse two Precious Artifacts of the same nature that had been forged by the same cultivator.
Before he had time to think deeply, the ice sword had already struck.
