Chapter 72
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
The sound of Ling Buyan’s voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present at this moment. The cultivators behind, who were already very nervous, became even more tense.
At this moment, the person standing opposite Mo Shenyu could see that his eyes had completely turned golden, without any trace of white. Mo Shenyu had no expression on his face, and looked particularly eerie.
In just a moment, everyone felt a sense of danger.
Seeing this, before Li Fenglan could do anything, Lin Chaochen, who was gradually becoming demonic and filled with killing intent, suddenly clenched the sword in his hand and slashed towards the position where Mo Shenyu was.
“Is Lin Chaochen crazy?” Seeing his junior brother’s actions, even Li Fenglan only had time to say such a sentence.
In the eyes of others, Lin Chaochen, who had just been standing quietly in place, suddenly turned into a green light and attacked towards the position where Mo Shenyu was. Lin Chaochen was an immortal of the Tianmian Palace and had a cultivation level of the immortalization stage. Although he was injured in the Guanzhi Mountain secret realm, this strike of his was still not something an ordinary cultivator like Mo Shenyu could resist – everyone thought so.
At this moment, Lin Chaochen’s heart was already filled with killing intent. If it weren’t for the jade pendant left by his master Qiu Wanyou suppressing him, he would probably have exposed himself as a cultivator who fell into qi deviation in front of the entire cultivation world, just like Li Fuyue did years ago.
The aura on Lin Chaochen’s sword was even more terrifying than the sword formation from before, for ordinary cultivators.
He turned sideways and drew a beautiful arc with his sword in the void, and the people standing behind him were unable to avoid it, being forced back several steps by the sword qi.
It was this inadvertent sword qi that made them realize that Lin Chaochen was attacking with the intention of killing Mo Shenyu directly.
“Why did Immortal Lin do this? At this moment, countless people’s faces showed an expression of extreme fear.
In fact, the reason why Lin Chaochen did this was very simple. As a cultivator, he, like everyone else here, noticed the strangeness of Mo Shenyu’s body and instinctively felt danger.
If it were usual, Lin Chaochen might temporarily hide this emotion and observe Mo Shenyu for a while. But now, in his state of demonic possession, he was full of killing intent and now that he sensed the danger from Mo Shenyu, he was left with only the instinct to kill.
A blue light slashed through the sky, and Lin Chaochen’s unrestricted attack as a immortalization stage immortal caused even Li Fenglan to retreat two steps.
However, Mo Shenyu remained motionless.
The outcome of a battle between masters can be determined in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the blade of the long sword in Lin Chaochen’s hand had already pierced towards Mo Shenyu’s heart.
Normally, even if Mo Shenyu didn’t die, he would lose half his life.
But in the next moment, the aura around the long sword in Lin Chaochen’s hand quietly disappeared into the void. All the power was instantly swallowed up, even the long sword itself couldn’t get close to Mo Shenyu.
“What…what’s going on?!”
“There’s something suspicious about Mo Shenyu’s body!”
“The Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm was just recently discovered by him. I knew something was off with the timing of its appearance. It seems Mo Shenyu did something in secret…”
“How come even Immortal Lin couldn’t hurt him?”
…
The panicked voices of the cultivators rang in Li Fenglan’s ears.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Seeing that the attack didn’t harm Mo Shenyu, Lin Chaochen, who was already becoming possessed and confused, took two steps back and frowned.
As he prepared to infuse his spiritual power into his long sword again and stab it towards Mo Shenyu, Ling Buyan, who had been silently watching his movements, finally spoke up.
Although the situation was extremely dangerous, Ling Buyan’s tone remained calm.
He looked at Lin Chaochen, smiled and said, “With your ability, you won’t be able to hurt him.”
Ling Buyan’s tone was very relaxed, even with a hint of disdain in Lin Chaochen’s ears. Except for Lin Chaochen, all the cultivators present heard Ling Buyan’s words.
They didn’t immediately think about what Ling Buyan was thinking when he said this, but instinctively felt fear – Ling Buyan said that even Immortal Lin couldn’t hurt Mo Shenyu? Then us ordinary cultivators are doomed!
Lin Chaochen paused for a moment and was about to try again with his sword. And this time, Mo Shenyu, who had been silent and motionless before, finally stopped standing quietly in place.
Li Fenglan saw Mo Shenyu slowly raise his arms, and the next moment, the sword formation that had disappeared reappeared in front of them.
“How is this possible…” Li Fenglan widened his eyes and looked at Ling Buyan. “How can Mo Shenyu restart the sword formation?”
Ling Buyan also pursed his lips and his expression became very serious.
Yes, how is this possible?
Ling Buyan was the Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor and the owner of this secret realm and sword formation. With him here, how could Mo Shenyu control his sword formation?
“Master.” Li Fenglan felt uneasy and called out to Ling Buyan subconsciously.
But now, Ling Buyan did not have time to explain the cause and effect to Li Fenglan. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, “Watch out for the sword formation!”
Li Fenglan gritted his teeth and summoned his own spiritual sword.
Li Fenglan believed that his guess was correct…this sword formation was indeed tampered with by Mo Shenyu, and was intended for some kind of sacrifice. Combining with the scene he had witnessed during the last beast tide, it was not difficult to guess that Mo Shenyu was likely trying to use the formation to absorb the spiritual energy within these beasts.
What is going on here!
Li Fenglan fought against the danger in front of him with his sword. He couldn’t help but think in his heart: he didn’t understand before how Mo Shenyu, a cultivator who had no interest in cultivation and rarely stayed in the Tianmian Palace, was able to achieve the same fate as Ling Buyan. Now seeing this scene, Li Fenglan finally understood that Mo Shenyu was not weak at all!
Everything before was just surface appearance.
……
After the sword formation was broken, Mo Shenyu also suffered a backlash.
But now, even though he was covered in blood, it didn’t affect the smooth operation of the formation.
Mo Shenyu stood calmly in the center of the formation, and from time to time, cultivators attempted to stab him with their swords, but the outcome was the same as before – their swords couldn’t even pierce Mo Shenyu’s body.
This time, the sword formation was even more dangerous than before. Within a cup of tea’s time, the power of the formation was fully revealed. Li Fenglan saw that several cultivators were unable to resist the formation and were pierced by the long swords. Spiritual energy flowed out of their wounds and gathered into the formation.
Seeing this, Li Fenglan could only defend himself against the long swords in front of him while moving closer to Meng Linzhou – his disciple who had reached the ascension stage, but was now seriously injured. If Li Fenglan didn’t help, Meng Linzhou would likely become the best nourishment for this sword formation.
In fact, while Li Fenglan was approaching Meng Linzhou, his vision had already begun to turn black.
“…Master?” A blurry figure appeared before Meng Linzhou’s eyes. His previous wound had not healed, and now it was reopening. His clothes were almost completely dyed red with blood. Although he was a cultivator, this continuous loss of blood had gradually weakened Meng Linzhou’s state.
When Li Fenglan walked to Meng Linzhou’s side, his unlucky disciple couldn’t even stand still.
“You stay here and meditate, leave the rest to me,” Li Fenglan didn’t waste any words with Meng Linzhou. As he spoke, he swung his sword and knocked away the long sword flying towards him.
Although Meng Linzhou wanted to resist, he didn’t say a word. Suddenly, his leg hurt and the next moment, he lost control and sat down on the ground.
Meng Linzhou: ???
Despite being seriously injured, Meng Linzhou realized that he seemed to have been ambushed just now.
When he saw the white figure next to him, Meng Linzhou finally realized that his master had lightly kicked him just now!
My master kicked me?
Meng Linzhou felt like the whole world was not good anymore.
While dealing with the long sword in front of him, Li Fenglan also glanced at Meng Linzhou. With just one look, he saw his disciple sitting in place, looking at him with a tangled and melancholic expression.
Li Fenglan: …
Ahem, his disciple was already thousands of years old, and as his master, if there was no big deal, he would naturally give him face. But now, it was a matter of life and death. As his master, it shouldn’t be a problem to lightly kick his disciple, right…?
Li Fenglan protected Meng Linzhou, the biggest source of energy in this sword formation, by his side. On the other hand, Ling Buyan was also dealing with the long swords in front of him while saving other cultivators around him.
Both he and Li Fenglan knew that everyone in the Guanzhi Mountain Sword Formation was one entity.
If too many cultivators died, Mo Shenyu’s power would become stronger and stronger.
While Li Fenglan was focused on dealing with the long sword in front of him, Meng Linzhou, who had not been meditating properly, suddenly looked towards a nearby location and whispered, “What’s wrong with Lin Chaochen?”
Meng Linzhou’s voice was not loud, but Li Fenglan still noticed the name and looked towards his junior brother’s position.
Li Fenglan saw that at this moment, Lin Chaochen was half-kneeling on the ground, barely supporting his own body with the long sword in his hand, and the protective barrier around him was becoming weaker and weaker under the attack of the sword formation.
Lin Chaochen was probably possessed by demons and his spiritual energy was out of control.
No… Li Fenglan was shocked when he saw Lin Chaochen’s condition.
Lin Chaochen’s cultivation was higher than Meng Linzhou’s. If something happened to him in the sword formation, everyone, including himself, would probably die today.
Realizing this, Li Fenglan said to Cheng Huang not far away, “Watch Meng Linzhou.” Then he quickly passed through the sword formation, avoiding the long swords, and went to Lin Chaochen’s location at the fastest speed.
The next moment, Lin Chaochen heard a loud “bang” in his ear, and a long sword fell from the sky. When Lin Chaochen looked up, he saw… a familiar white figure.
It was Li Fenglan.
After knocking down the long sword, Li Fenglan’s body also turned in the air with the help of the force. His black hair and white clothes turned into an ink-colored orchid in the air. Li Fenglan didn’t know how stunning he looked right now.
Did he… block the sword for himself?
–After being possessed by demons, Lin Chaochen’s mind was not very clear, but when he saw this scene in front of him, he clearly had such a thought in his heart.
