Chapter 165.1
“He still not giving up yet,” Li Tianyan sneered. This guy was still thinking about advancing.
But it could also be seen from this that he had indeed reached a critical moment. There was no thunder tribulation in the Shura battlefield. Once he successfully advanced, it would be difficult to deal with him.
Su Yu recognized the light mirror in Li Tianyan’s hand. When he saw the picture in the mirror, he couldn’t help but ask solemnly, “Tianyan, is there any way to stop it?”
Xuan Zhen and others also noticed that the leader of the Shura Sect had not shown up yet, but it was because of the death energy on the battlefield. Was he plotting against the entire Shura Sect?
“There is a way,” Li Tianyan said, looking at the battlefield below that was not yet over. If the sect leader noticed it, he might show up immediately. “It’s best to fight quickly.”
Li Tianyan said this to Xuan Zhen while releasing the Soul-Chasing Bell, allowing Tao Wu to secretly extract the death energy from the battlefield.
After hearing this, Xuan Zhen communicated with the leader of the Haoyue Immortal Sect. After some discussion, Xuan Zhen signalled to Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi.
Following the gestures of Sect Master Haoyue, the drumbeat from behind became faster and faster, a bit urgent. The cultivators on the battlefield heard the drumbeat and struck faster, sparing even less force.
Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi joined forces to erase the remaining marks of more than 300 puppets, and a large number of evil cultivators were killed in the blink of an eye.
The foundation-establishment evil cultivators began to panic, and many wanted to abandon the fight and flee. However, as soon as the escaping evil cultivators exited the battlefield, their heads were penetrated by a powerful force of true spiritual energy.
Hong Lian killed a few people to scare the monkeys and then said to the evil cultivators on the battlefield, “Kill them all back. No one is allowed to take a step back.”
“But, commander, without the puppets, we couldn’t defeat these cultivators,” an evil cultivator who wanted to escape said anxiously.
So many people in the Shura Sect had died, but the sect leader had not yet appeared. No matter how stupid they were, they would understand what was going on. They had joined the Shura Sect because they wanted to follow the sect master and become the masters of the Hengwu Continent in the future, not to be a stepping stone for others.
As soon as the man finished speaking, his forehead was already pierced, his soul gone, and he fell to the ground. The fallen evil cultivator opened his eyes wide, and his strong unwillingness turned into death energy that flowed into the sky above the battlefield.
Hong Lian looked at these former subordinates, but there was no trace of pity in her eyes. “Whoever takes the heads of five cultivators, I will let him withdraw from the battlefield.”
The other evil cultivators did not dare to say anything after seeing this. They retreated to the battlefield to fight like trapped animals. Seeing that they had no way out, they could only fight back with all their strength. Some even began to explode their magic weapons, just to take the lives of the cultivators on the opposite side.
At first, a few cultivators accidentally died at the hands of the evil cultivators. When the cultivators realized it, the evil cultivators were not able to succeed so easily. Under the full force of the foundation-establishment cultivators, the evil cultivators had no ability to resist at all.
Fan Zhuo saw that in this war, almost all the evil cultivators had died, while only a few immortal cultivators had died. He immediately led all the core formation evil cultivators to attack together, targeting the place where the foundation-establishment cultivators were concentrated.
At one time, dozens of bloody palm prints formed by true spiritual energy pressed down toward the battlefield from top to bottom.
The immortal side had always been paying attention to the movements of the evil cultivators. As soon as they saw them taking action, the sixteen core formation cultivators also moved at the same time, stepping forward to receive the evil cultivators’ bloody palm prints.
On the Immortal Path side, only the four core formations of the Haoyue Immortal Sect Leader, Xuan Zhen, Biluo Immortal Sect Leader, and Li Tianyan were left.
At this time, it was already the battlefield of the core formation. Seeing that there were not many foundation-establishment evil cultivators left, the Haoyue Immortal Sect Master thought there was no longer a threat, so he had people beat the drums for retreat. Upon hearing the drums, the foundation-establishment cultivators quickly evacuated the battlefield and retreated to the rear.
The core formation cultivators waited until the entire team had withdrawn, and finally had no need to worry about it. They let go of their hands and feet and started fighting with the evil cultivators on the opposite side.
On the contrary, on the Shura Sect side, no one took care of the foundation-establishment evil cultivators. Before they could escape from the battlefield, they were injured by the true spiritual energy from the core formation’s fight.
The elders at the late stage of core formation from the Haoyue Immortal Sect and Elder Wu Gen of the Tianfan Immortal Sect faced off against the left and right commanders of the Shura Sect, respectively. Other core formation cultivators also found their own opponents.
Suddenly, true spiritual energy surged on the battlefield, and the buildings in the Shura Sect collapsed one after another due to the residual power. The momentum was even greater than the more than two thousand foundation-establishment confrontations just before.
With Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi present, the core formation evil cultivators did not dare to sacrifice the puppets. There were so many immortals that they were suppressed for a while and had no room to breathe.
Fan Zhuo and Hong Lian had to put aside their grudges for the time being and discuss countermeasures. They had to find a way to delay until the sect leader showed up.
In the end, the two finally reached a consensus. Fan Zhuo sacrificed his puppet and held off the two core formation cultivators from Immortal Path. Hong Lian broke away from the fight the moment his opponent was stopped and headed in another direction with the Blood Demon Sword.
That was right; their plan was to delay Li Tianyan so that he had no chance to take action. If possible, they would directly kill him to avoid future troubles.
The two discussed for a long time and finally decided that Hong Lian would fight Li Tianyan. At the moment the two of them acted, other core formation evil cultivators also released their puppets at the same time.
