That cultivator's attainments in the Dao of Formations can only be higher than mine. " The disheveled old man dodged the attack of a white bone whip and looked at the place where Lu Xiaotian had broken out of the formation with a pensive look on his face. After a moment, he said, "I don't understand the intricacies of this formation right away, but it shouldn't be difficult to break it according to what the swordsman did."
"What should we do?" Jie Dou, the leader of the fire wolves, and the old woman asked in unison.
"Cut off one of the python's heads with all our might, then break through the black veil of light like the swordsman did. However, none of us have the swordsman's skills, so even if we're trying to break the formation, we'll have to give something up. According to my estimates, it'll be good enough if half of us manage to escape. The rest will have to take one or two hits for us unknowingly."
"This." Jie Dou and the old woman were shocked. However, they weren't saints after all. After hearing the formation master's voice transmission, they immediately came to a decision. As for the numbers, it was easy to split. Both sides would each take half, and the rest would die in the black sea.
There were sixteen or seventeen Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators left. Jie Dou and the old woman gave out their orders, directing their companions to distribute their tasks. At the same time, they sent voice transmissions to their own subordinates. In an extremely short amount of time, they decided who to abandon.
The black python's head that Lu Xiaotian had cut off with the Ethereal Flying Sword surged from the sea below. In the blink of an eye, another python's head popped up. A huge water column caught a nearby fire wolf off guard. Just as the fire wolf was about to counterattack, a thick python's tail swept over from the black sea. It swept the fire wolf into the sea, where a few bone whips coiled around it.
Bubbles churned inside. In a breath's time, another Divine Illusionary Realm cultivator had fallen.
However, Jie Dou and the old woman weren't weak. Jie Dou's wolf-headed broadsword slashed through the air, interweaving with several flashes of demonic fire in the air. He weaved an impenetrable net of sabers.
The other Divine Illusionary Realm experts blocked the attacks of the other python heads, creating an opportunity for Jie Dou, the old lady, and the others to break through the restrictions.
Although Jie Dou and the elder with the phoenix head cane were not as strong as Lu Xiaotian's Ethereal Sword Embryo, the two of them worked together. After a few moves, a huge Green Phoenix shadow sucked at the python's neck, snapping it instantly. The attacks of the other two Divine Illusionary Stage experts, who had been preparing for a long time, landed on the severed part of the python's head.
"Let's go together." Jie Dou roared. The wolf-headed demon blade in his hand and the old woman's phoenix-headed staff shot out like lightning at the same time, nailing the faintly discernible black light screen in the void. "This Ghost Python is very powerful." Veins popped out on Jie Dou's forehead. He thought of how Lu Xiaotian's sword pierced through the black light screen. It looked effortless, but when it was his turn, it was much more difficult.
Jie Dou gritted his teeth and swallowed a fiery red Yao Dan. His aura instantly surged. He punched the air and a huge flaming fist landed on the hilt of the wolf-headed broadsword. The demonic aura of the wolf-headed demon blade increased again. With a 'pu' sound, it completely pierced through the black light screen. The fire on the blade grew stronger, burning the hole a little bigger.
On the other side, the old woman surnamed Meng also used her phoenix-headed staff to open up a small gap. A green and red vortex appeared on the phoenix-headed staff, constantly neutralizing the backlash of the black light screen.
Once the gap was opened, the old woman and Fire Wolf Yao Dan didn't delay at all and flew out of the gap.
Their trusted subordinates who had been warned beforehand by the old woman and Fire Wolf Yao Dan were already prepared. At this moment, they also wanted to escape the black light screen.
"Old Jia, hurry. I can't hold on much longer." The old woman with the phoenix-headed staff was livid from the backlash of the black light screen. Only two of her trusted subordinates had managed to escape, but the formation master surnamed Jia was slightly weaker. Just as he was about to leave, he was entangled by a few bone whips and couldn't break free. The old woman couldn't help but urge them.
Damn it. This wasn't like what they'd said before. After breaking the seal, they ran away faster than a rabbit, but left the few of them behind to stall the Ghost Python. Most of the humans and Fire Wolf Yao Dan who were still inside the seal couldn't help but curse. They all wanted to leave. However, the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff and Fire Wolf Yao Dan's strongest subordinates had already escaped the seal. This Ghost Python wasn't to be trifled with. In a brief moment of distraction, the Ghost Python swept away two Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators and sent them into the black sea.
The remaining humans and Fire Wolf Yao Dan didn't have the time to curse Jie Dou and the old woman for causing this. They were all panicking to save their own lives. In reality, they were already at death's door.
Cursing was useless against Jie Dou and the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff who'd cultivated for thousands of years. Only two of Jie Dou's subordinates had escaped. Apart from the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff, only two other human cultivators had come out. The Forest of Ghost Trees had suffered great losses. Seven out of ten of the team had perished.
"Old Meng, I can't make it. Take care of my grandson for me when you get out." The formation master surnamed Jia was entangled by a few bone whips. When he saw a python head pouncing at him, his eyes filled with despair. He immediately shouted at the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff.
"I will." Seeing that things weren't going well, the old woman's eyes flashed with grief. Just like Jie Dou, she was about to withdraw the magic treasure that had broken the black light screen. Unexpectedly, a streak of sword-light suddenly flew in from the incomparably dark void behind them, slashing at Jie Dou and the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff.
"Stop him!" The sword that had been accumulating power came too quickly, and the old woman with the phoenix head staff only came to her senses when it was over three hundred meters away. Who else could have slashed out such an ethereal sword other than the sword cultivator who had disappeared earlier? Recalling how she'd let slip a sentence in the Forest of Ghost Trees and how he'd turned around with shocking killing intent, the woman with the phoenix-headed staff was even more certain that this person was one of the two cultivators the factions outside wanted information about.
However, she hadn't expected that a single sentence from her would incite such a murderous intent. Even though they'd clearly escaped danger, he'd still turned around and attacked. He'd even schemed against them, giving her and Jie Dou the perfect opportunity to attack while they were wrestling with the black light screen's restrictive power. That was when they'd exhausted their strength and had yet to recover.
She could only hope that her two trusted subordinates and Jie Dou's two powerful Fire Wolf Yao Dan could stop this person. However, the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff wasn't confident at all.
Although the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff and Jie Dou's two trusted subordinates reacted quickly, they couldn't compare to the opponent's charged sword. The ethereal sword embryo flashed through the gaps between them and easily pierced through a Fire Wolf Yao Dan's shield before the four of them could join forces. The flying sword didn't pause at all and swept past the old woman with the phoenix-headed staff's neck. Then, it shot at Jie Dou's thick chest.
