"Senior Xing, you don't have to be so courteous. As fellow martial artists, of course we have to fight the demon together. Besides, this is all Xing 'er's hard work. Speaking of which, I have to thank her!"
"Of course. Miss Xing 'er spared no effort to set up the array for our sect. This old man and the entire sect are extremely grateful. However, due to the hard work of the past few days, Miss Xing' er is currently resting in the backyard. This old man has yet to thank her again!"
Luo Ping had originally wanted to ask why Xing 'er was not here. Now that he heard Xing' er's explanation, he knew the reason.
"Xing 'er is not only talented in array formations, but also conscientious in her work. It seems that my choice back then was very correct."
At this moment, Luo Ping felt that his previous decision was very correct. He had taught Qu Xing 'er the several array formations in the Three Heavens Steps Heavenly Dipper Steps, and in just a little more than a year, she was able to skillfully arrange them. Moreover, the power of the array formations was extraordinary, which showed how high her talent was.
"This junior thanks Senior Xing on behalf of Xing 'er."
Luo Ping cupped his fists and bowed.
"Haha, Lao Xing, you don't know. The array that Miss Xing 'er helped us set up is so powerful … Aiya, you can't imagine it!"
Qi Yuehai said proudly. His expression and tone were just like a proud child. Xing Zhen immediately rolled his eyes.
The two of them had known each other for dozens of years and had also fought for dozens of years. However, their friendship was very deep. It was normal for them to bicker.
"Hmph, what's there to show off? The array that Miss Xing 'er helped us set up is definitely more powerful than yours!"
"Alright, Lao Xing, since that's the case, let's let Young Hero Luo test it out and see whose array is more powerful."
"Let's test it out. Then we'll have to trouble Alliance Leader Luo."
The two Xiantian Martial Kings decided to compare the power of the array through a practical test. Of course, the person who tested it was still Luo Ping.
"Senior Xing is too polite!"
…
"Young Master? I'm so happy to see you! "
Qu Xing 'er stood at the door of Luo Ping's room and greeted him excitedly before walking in. When Luo Ping saw this, he smiled and gestured for her to sit down.
"Xing 'er, I didn't expect your perception to be so high. I've already tested the array formations of the two sects. Whether it's defensive or offensive power, they can be rated as first class. This has really opened my eyes."
"Isn't this all thanks to young master? Every single one of the formations you gave me is profound and profound. Otherwise, Xing 'er wouldn't have been able to take on such a great responsibility. However, Xing' er has a question."
"You want to ask me where I got my array formation, right?"
"Exactly!"
When Luo Ping heard this, he picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip before he spoke with a smile.
"That's why I asked you to come over."
…
Three days later, Luo Ping was cultivating in the backyard of the Godly Saber Sect when he suddenly had a bad feeling. He immediately opened his eyes and left the room.
"Alliance Leader, why have you gathered everyone here?"
Seeing that everyone had already arrived at the hall, Tan Batian was the first to ask.
"When I was cultivating just now, I had a bad feeling, so I discussed it with Uncle Ding. We've decided to follow our previous agreement and hand over half of the people to Senior Qi to bring back to the Omnidirectional Saint Sect. This is to prevent the demon from appearing in advance."
When everyone heard this, they finally understood and nodded in agreement. Thus, a portion of the Sect Masters consciously stood by Qi Yuehai's side, intending to immediately set off. After all, cultivators wouldn't have an ominous feeling for no reason.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang in everyone's ears, so they immediately rushed into the courtyard to see what was going on. They saw a blood-red sea of fog rapidly condensing in the sky above the courtyard, revealing a figure shrouded in it.
On the blood-red figure's face, a pair of ink-black eyes stared intently below. Waves of light flowed, revealing the face of the concealment formation. After staring at it for a moment, he let out a chuckle.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a formation master in the Mortal Domain who could set up the Indigo Imperial Demon Formation. Moreover, its power is not to be underestimated. How interesting, hehehe …"
The ear-piercing voice clearly passed through the light barrier and into the ears of everyone present. When the sect leaders saw the scene before them, they all understood the identity of the person who had come. However, they did not expect the demon to appear in advance.
Moreover, it was such a coincidence that he had come to the Godly Saber Sect. It seemed like he was destined to meet them.
When Luo Ping heard the demon's words, his expression changed slightly. The guesses in his heart had finally become reality. He felt that the upcoming battle would be even more troublesome.
However, he couldn't tell everyone the truth right now. Otherwise, no one present would have the courage to fight the devil, including Qi Yuehai and Xing Zhen.
"Everyone, hurry up and act according to the plan. Those who should go to the eye of the formation to operate it, go immediately. Everyone else, get into position. Once the demon breaks through the formation, immediately carry out the next plan."
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
After Luo Ping quickly ordered the sect leaders to take action, he paid close attention to the situation outside the formation. There were only a few people left where he was standing.
At this moment, the blood-red figure had stopped laughing. He did not care about the situation inside the light barrier at all. Instead, he gently raised his arm.
A cloud of blood mist shot out from his hand towards the light shield below. With a 'peng' sound, the light shield was dented, but there were no cracks.
"To be able to block 10% of this Blood Lord's power, you are not simple. However, you are too naive if you think you can stop me."
After saying that, the blood-red figure attacked again. A wave of blood flew toward the light shield like a dancing flood dragon. Just as it was about to shatter the light shield, the light shield suddenly shone brightly. The light shield suddenly became twice as thick.
The blood-red figure did not expect the attack to fail again. A wave of anger surged out from his body. His black eyes directly looked through the light barrier and locked onto Luo Ping.
Although there was the barrier of the formation, Luo Ping could not feel the blood-red figure's killing intent. However, he could see that the blood-red figure had already regarded him as a person who must be killed. After all, the blood-red figure had a panoramic view of his actions when he commanded everyone.
"Young man, prepare to receive this Blood Lord's anger! Kekekeke … "
The blood-red figure was angry and attacked with all his might. Several waves of blood slammed onto the surface of the light barrier. The impact caused the ground to shake. The thickness of the light barrier was thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
…
In a hidden corner of the 'Godly Knife Sect', more than ten sect leaders were gathered in a circle. They were using all their strength to inject their True Qi into a circular slot. Each of them was exhausted and pale, sweating profusely.
"No, I feel that my True Qi is insufficient. If this goes on, I will be injured."
"Me too. I didn't expect the demon's attack to be so strong. The amount of True Qi consumed by the formation is several times faster than the previous test!"
"Hurry up, hurry up and change people. Otherwise, we are really done for."
After a few people shouted a few words, seven or eight people immediately walked out from behind them. At the same time, they released their True Qi and injected it into the slot, replacing the original people.
The seven or eight people who came out again were full of True Qi. As soon as they attacked, they increased the defensive power of the formation again. Although the light barrier outside the formation did not become thicker, it temporarily stopped the trend of thinning.
Although they knew that it might not be able to stop the formation for long, they still tried their best to inject their True Qi. Even if it was only for a moment, it might be a different result.
…
"Hmph, taking turns to fight? You want to exhaust this Blood Lord's power? You are too naive. "
The blood-red figure withdrew his left hand and suddenly changed his style. He did not continue to launch the blood wave attack. Instead, he clenched his five fingers and released a suction force toward the light barrier in front of him.
Light waves flashed on the surface of the light barrier, and very obvious patterns appeared one after another. They converged from all directions, and flowed toward his palm.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that the lines were True Qi of different colors. They were all injected by the sect leaders to maintain the formation. Now, the blood-red figure had taken advantage of them.
"This … this demon is too arrogant. He actually absorbed all the True Qi. Isn't he afraid that they will not be able to fuse and cause a backlash?"
Even though Qi Yuehai was already a Connate Martial King expert, he still felt incredulous when he saw this scene. He could not help but ask.
After all, everyone knew that True Qi of different attributes were very difficult to fuse with each other unless there were specific conditions.
First, when a warrior began to cultivate, he would cultivate several attributes of True Qi at the same time. This way, they would grow in balance and not cause chaos in their True Qi.
Second, when two types of True Qi met, there would be a great difference in power. In the end, one would swallow the other and fuse it into one's own power.
Third, there were some secret techniques that specialized in absorbing other people's inner strength and turning it into one's own power. They could brazenly absorb other people's True Qi.
For example, the Qi Transforming Sect, which was famous in the martial arts world, had a secret cultivation method called the Qi Transforming into One Great Technique, which could achieve this.
However, even so, there was a limit to how much they could absorb other people's True Qi. Basically, they could only absorb one or two attributes at the same time. Even the sect leader of the Transforming Qi Sect, Li Xinghai, a Connate Martial King expert, could only absorb four attributes at the same time.
However, the demon in front of them had crazily absorbed the True Qi of seven or eight sect leaders. Not only did Qi Yuehai feel incredulous, but Xing Zhen, Gao Ge, Ding Zhangshan, and Qu Xing 'er, who stayed behind, felt that their world had been turned upside down.
Only Luo Ping was not surprised at all. This was because he could also use this method now, but he was not as skilled and natural as the blood-red figure.
"How he did this is not something we need to consider now. We need to make a decision now. Do we continue to defend or withdraw the formation?"
"However, no matter which decision we make, it is very disadvantageous to us! Therefore, we must choose the method with the least damage. "
