Chapter 164.1
“Left and right commanders.” Seeing Fan Zhuo and Hong Lian appear together, many evil cultivators saluted the two of them.
Several core formation evil cultivators could not see the figure of the sect master, and they could not hide their anxiety. Then one of them asked, “Commanders, where is the sect master?”
The immortals were obviously well-prepared this time, and there were many more people than them. However, as long as the sect master was there, these immortal cultivators in front of them were nothing.
Fan Zhuo glanced at the Immortal Path troops surrounding the Shura Sect, then raised his voice and said to everyone in the Shura Sect, “The sect leader has ordered that the Shura Sect will challenge the Immortal Path. Today, those who took the heads of the Immortal Path cultivators would be rewarded with first-class merit. Those who escaped from the battle would be killed: kill.”
After hearing this, all the evil cultivators raised their flags and shouted, “Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Seeing that the morale of the evil cultivators was high, the Immortal Path was naturally not to be outdone. As the commander-in-chief this time, the leader of the Haoyue Immortal Sect said in a deep voice, “The Shura Sect has done so many evil things that it is difficult to describe them. All the Immortal cultivators are stepping in to destroy the Evil Sect and eliminate evil spirits!”
“Destroy Evil Sect, eliminate evil spirits, eliminate evil spirits!” A group of cultivators who opposed the evil cultivators shouted in unison.
“Destroy Evil Sect, get rid of evil spirits, get rid of evil spirits!” Cheng Qi followed the crowd and shouted with high morale, but his voice was drowned in the sound like a roaring bell.
Li Tianyan looked at him like a little beast with its teeth bared and claws spread and couldn’t help but feel a little funny, but the smile in his eyes was full of doting. When Tian Min and Su Yu, who stood behind the two of them, saw each other, the expressions on their faces softened a little.
After a burst of morale-boosting chants from both sides, the battle between immortals and evils was about to begin. Following an order from Sect Master of Haoyue, the drumbeat of the attack sounded like thunderous bells, and thousands of foundation-establishment cultivators moved at the same time.
Under Fan Zhuo’s command, the Foundation-Establishment evil cultivators sacrificed their puppets and rushed into the torrent of immortal cultivators. On the Shura battlefield shrouded in blood mist, the Foundation-Establishment immortal cultivator and evil cultivators fought fiercely on the boundary between the two sides.
The core formation experts standing at the rear all watched each other eagerly, waiting for an opportunity to take action.
The evil cultivators had puppets to protect themselves, and some even controlled two puppets by one person. The number of immortal cultivators was more than twice that of the evil cultivators. The two sides were evenly matched, and the battle situation below them was temporarily intertwined.
“Second brother, why did you become a puppet?” After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly sounded in the noisy battlefield.
Upon hearing this, the evil cultivator who controlled the puppet turned his head and smiled evilly at the speaker. “This puppet is a trophy that I caught with my own hands. It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
“I’m going to kill you.” The cultivator who discovered that his brother had been turned into a puppet roared at the evil cultivator with his eyes wide open.
Although their voices were obscured by the sounds of fighting on the battlefield, they could not escape the cultivator’s ears.
Everyone looked for the voice and found that it was a peak foundation-establishment elder from Feiyun Villa. Many people still remembered that this person had released news in all the sects in various regions in order to find his missing brother.
Seeing that he finally found his long-lost biological brother, but the other person had become a puppet controlled by the evil cultivator, others couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
The cultivator recognized the puppet as his younger brother and was unable to help but be hit by the puppet instead.
Seeing this, Cheng Qi released a ray of flame, which submerged into the sea of consciousness of the puppet. When the elder saw that the puppet had no breath, he could only put it away first and then raised the heavy sword in his hand to slash at the evil cultivator.
Perhaps being reminded by this person, other cultivator also began to pay attention to the evil cultivator’s puppet. Although the puppet’s shape and appearance had changed slightly, some of its characteristics were still retained.
Soon, someone else recognized the puppets on the battlefield as someone they were familiar with. After the first one, there was a second one. Chaos erupted in the field, and some cultivators were even seriously injured by the evil cultivator.
Cheng Qi glanced at Li Tianyan, then released the flames and snatched away several recognized puppets.
The core formation evil cultivator on the opposite side naturally noticed his movements. Hong Lian looked at Cheng Qi sharply and launched an attack toward the two of them.
Li Tianyan held Cheng Qi in his arms and pointed out as he released a ray of sword intent to easily deflect the blow of the female evil cultivator.
Hong Lian looked at Li Tianyan in surprise. Last time, this person had been seriously injured by her and had fallen into the sea. Although he had advanced to core formation now, he was still in the early stage of core formation. How could he compete with her so easily?
“I just said that if you let them live, there will be endless troubles,” Fan Zhuo glanced at her and snorted coldly.
“You don’t have to be so scared; I haven’t even tried my best yet,” Hong Lian replied unconvinced.
Core formation cultivators from other sects were also secretly surprised when they saw Li Tianyan easily neutralizing an attack from a late-stage core formation and suddenly became curious about his strength.
However, Cheng Qi recognized the aura from just now—the one of the people who had sneaked up on them on the sea that day—and couldn’t help but look at the core formation female evil cultivator opposite in anger. Wrinkling his nose as if to retaliate, he released dozens of rays of flame and rushed into the battlefield, snatching the puppet from the evil cultivator’s hand.
Those evil cultivators who had lost their puppets were no match for the Immortal cultivators. Soon, many people from the Shura Sect had been killed or injured, and the battle situation quickly turned in favour of the Immortal side.
The core formation evil cultivators who were watching the battle saw that more and more people from the Shura Sect were dying below, and they could no longer stand by. Then an evil cultivator took action, and several fierce ghosts with core formation aura rushed toward the foundation-establishment cultivators on the battlefield below.
Two cultivators who were fighting against the evil cultivator were bumped into by a terrifying ghost face. The resentment of the ghost before its death made these cultivators lose their minds instantly, and they were assassinated by the evil cultivator on the opposite side.
The core formation evil cultivator wore a successful smile on his face and then controlled a few fierce ghosts to continue causing chaos on the battlefield.
Naturally, the Immortal Path would not just sit idly by. Seeing that the evil cultivator was targeting the people of the Tianfan Immortal Sect, Tian Min flew forward and used his true spiritual energy to draw a few spells, instantly scattering the evil cultivator’s ghosts.
Smelling the scent of the ghost, Tan Eyu could hardly stay any longer, but cultivators from other areas were present that day. In order not to cause misunderstanding, Cheng Qi did not let her show up.
