"Whoosh!" A shocking flying sword pierced through the air, heading straight for Gou Qian's vital point.
Gou Qian's hair suddenly stood on end. There were rumors that there was another extremely powerful sword cultivator in the Scarlet Moon Desert other than Lu Xiaotian. However, most outsiders had only heard of his name and had never seen him. Even when he had gone with the one-armed Xiang Qingcheng to the Buddhist Sect to pressure them, he had not truly made a move.
The sword cultivator, Nameless, was still extremely unfamiliar with the outside world. He was far less famous than Lu Xiaotian. However, even though he was not as famous as Lu Xiaotian, the pressure that this sword essence, which was as heavy as a mountain, gave Gou Qian was not any weaker than Lu Xiaotian's severed arm.
Gou Qian clapped his hand, and a huge stone-shaped shield appeared in front of the flying sword. "Buzz …" The shield cracked open, and the flying sword pierced through it.
With the lotus clone joining the battle, Gou Qian could no longer control the Frost and Lightning Formation as he pleased. The severed arm took advantage of the opening. The giant flaming hand suddenly trembled, and the Phaseless Fire Seal formed by the raging flames entered various parts of the lightning barrier.
Immediately, a small hole appeared in the barrier, and the severed arm came out of it. Once the severed arm left the formation, Gou Qian's formation lost its original threat. The severed arm grabbed at the air, and the Phaseless Fire surged, forming three flaming blades. These were the Great Azure Heavenly Blades formed by merging two Fire Sutras. Although the two Fire Sutras had only the Phaseless Fire Sutras, the divine abilities they formed were ever-changing.
The three Great Azure Heavenly Blades carried boundless flames as they slashed through the air. Wherever the blades passed, the thunderclouds would shatter, and icy mist would surge. The layers of ice that had been sealed in ice for an unknown number of years also crackled.
Gou Qian's heart skipped a beat. Only now did he realize that the severed arm had held back a considerable amount of power when fighting him. He had only been stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. He inwardly blamed himself for being careless. He had not discovered that the lotus clone had been hiding behind the severed arm.
In reality, this could not be blamed on Gou Qian. Ever since Lu Xiaotian realized the flaws of the sword embryo, he had been thinking of ways to conceal his own aura. He had cultivated many magic treasures that could conceal the sword embryo's aura. Even old monsters much stronger than the lotus clone might not be able to suppress the lotus clone in this aspect. For Gou Qian, the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Ordinary methods were unable to withstand the divine abilities of the severed arm and Lotus Flower Clone. Gou Qian gritted his teeth as his figure shook, and he actually transformed into the shape of a stone tablet that was around three meters tall. The dense little dots on the stone tablet were like the stars in the sky, and the veins that were either deep or shallow seemed like the distant river of stars in space.
Seeing Gou Qian turn into a stone tablet, Duan Bi was naturally shocked. Gou Qian was actually not a human. He had been with him for such a long time, but he had not noticed it at all.
The Gou Qian before him was completely different from the Old Monster Ice Fox and the other world spirits he had encountered before. If he had not joined forces with the Lotus Avatar to force him into a desperate situation, he probably would not have revealed his true appearance.
Since they knew that Gou Qian's identity was extraordinary, the severed arm and the lotus clone's spirits were greatly shaken. The flying swords and the Great Azure Heavenly Blade surrounded Gou Qian and attacked him relentlessly, not giving him any chance to catch his breath and escape.
Gou Qian could be considered to be quite capable. At first glance, his body was only a stone tablet, but if one was not careful, one's consciousness would seemingly sink into the river of stars within the stone tablet.
The berserk lightning power and the bone-chilling icy aura interweaved together. The surging spiritual power under the Great Azure Heavenly Blade and the flying swords interweaved together. Gou Qian's divine abilities were extremely powerful, but when faced with the joint forces of the lotus clone and the severed arm, he was suppressed in an extremely short period of time.
The Great Azure Heavenly Blade and the Misty Flying Sword moved unhindered between the heavens and the earth, splitting the clouds and splitting the earth. The stone tablet that Gou Qian had transformed into had exhausted all of its abilities, but the lightning power and icy aura it mobilized had become increasingly smaller. When the three Great Azure Heavenly Blades slashed down on the stone tablet, the Misty Flying Sword took advantage of the fact that Gou Qian was unable to split himself and flashed past the center of the stone tablet.
A miserable scream accompanied by cracking sounds rang out, and a hole appeared in the center of the huge stone tablet. With the hole as the core, cracks appeared in the surroundings from the sword aura that moved unhindered. The lightning and icy aura mobilized by the stone tablet with great magic power became ownerless powers, dissipating into the air.
The long-bearded old man Gou Qian's figure appeared once again. However, he floated in the air, appearing extremely indifferent. He was like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
"I never would have thought that after countless years of planning, the two of you would still be able to break through my plan. Man proposes, God disposes." Gou Qian gave a long sigh.
"It seems that you should be a World Spirit a level higher than the Old Ice Raccoon Monster. If it wasn't for the help of my good friend, your plan most likely wouldn't have failed. "The severed arm spread out his Divine Awareness, but did not discover any other hidden threats. Immediately, he relaxed a bit.
"Winner takes all, haha …" Gou Qian gave a long laugh. He did not leave behind any useful information for the severed arm and the lotus clone. His indifferent figure exploded into pieces together with the broken stone tablet, disappearing into nothingness.
The lotus clone frowned slightly. He extended his hand and grabbed a Spatial Ring from the shattered stone.
"Fortunately, there are still some gains."
Opening the Spatial Ring, there were many spiritual items inside. However, most of them were used by Body Integration Realm cultivators. Other than the large amount of Spirit Crystals and two that could be used directly, there was only a cultivation technique that completely attracted the severed arm and the lotus clone's attention.
"Soul Returning Mantra!"
"It's a secret technique that helps people recover their soul power and mends their lost memories!" The lotus clone exclaimed.
"I wonder if it's useful to Xiang Hua."
The severed arm was also very excited. Although his original body had a certain level of confidence in Xiang Hua and would not harm him, Xiang Hua had stayed in the Magnificent Sect for thousands of years after all. He was greatly favored by the Buddhist Sect. Because the severed arm had used Mingyuan to escape, Mingyuan, as a chess piece, had lost its usefulness. At this time, Xiang Hua's usefulness could not be replaced by anyone.
"We'll know once we try. However, how to pass this cultivation technique to my original body is still a problem. Xiang Hua is now tightly protected by the Buddhist Sect. Even you and I can't sneak into the Buddhist Sect to get close to him. Mingyuan, that monk, was exposed in advance. There's no one to replace him now, "the lotus clone shook its head.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's make two preparations. On the one hand, we'll find out if there are other monks in the Buddhist Sect who can come into contact with my original body and use this Soul Returning Mantra. On the other hand, we'll follow our original plan and use the Celestial Boundary Stone to help Demon Lord Skyreach recover his strength," the severed arm said.
The severed arm and the lotus clone had no way of knowing if the Soul Returning Mantra was useful for the memory loss caused by the Forgetting Soul Stone. Not only did this technique have to be studied deeply, but it also had strict requirements for the caster. Neither the severed arm nor the lotus clone could replace his original body's attainments in this Dao.
"That's right." The lotus clone nodded.
The severed arm took out the demonic orb that Demon Lord Skyreach resided in. Demonic aura lingered inside. He then recounted his experience with Gou Qian to Demon Lord Skyreach. There were some things that Demon Lord Skyreach did not know in detail. He could only make deductions based on what he saw and what he knew. Along the way, the two sides had a lot of exchanges.
