ALL NOVEL Chapter 165.2
There were even five puppets that took advantage of people’s unpreparedness and attacked the foundation-establishment cultivators in the rear. Fortunately, they were stopped in time by the three elders of the Haoyue Immortal Sect.
But precisely because several people were haunted by puppets, no one was able to spare their hands when the female evil cultivator attacked Li Tianyan.
Hong Lian’s bloody sword was already slashing at Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi. Knowing that this kid was not that easy to deal with, Hong Lian did not dare to be careless anymore. She used all her strength in this attack, even using up one-third of the true spiritual energy in her body.
However, this blow was nothing compared to the core formation thunder tribulation that Li Tianyan had experienced.
Protecting Cheng Qi behind him, Li Tianyan held the spiritual sword and injected it with true spiritual energy. A ray of Yang Sword Intention burst out of the sword and collided with the incoming sword.
The Yang Sword Intent was extremely strong and could restrain all evil things in the world. As soon as it came into contact, the red blood on the sword was burned away, the power suddenly reduced, and it was instantly transformed by the Yang Sword Intent.
Hong Lian’s brows jumped when she saw this, but she could not think about it anymore. She could only release her puppets and attack Li Tianyan with the sword.
The spiritual sword in Li Tianyan’s hand collided with her sword, making a metallic buzzing sound, and the swords immediately started fighting.
Seeing that Li Tianyan was dealing with her and the puppet at the same time but still had the heart to protect another person, Hong Lian smiled and said, “You two really have a deep relationship, and you have to take care of your Taoist companion at this time.”
“My relationship with my Taoist companion is naturally stronger than gold, but you, after being exploited to this extent, are still willing to sacrifice your life for others. I admire you,” Li Tianyan replied, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all.
“What did you know?” Hong Lian’s eyes became fiercer upon hearing this.
Li Tianyan fought fiercely with the female evil cultivator one against two, but he was still able to protect Cheng Qi behind him perfectly, and Hong Lian’s several sneak attacks ended in failure.
The previous two core formation puppets had been scrapped when Li Tianyan passed through the tribulation. Without the puppets, Cheng Qi could not face the core formation evil cultivator directly. He could only hold the long whip and hide behind Li Tianyan, waiting for the opportunity.
Cheng Qi’s bright black eyes rolled around, observing the movements around him, and finally targeted the two puppets of Xuan Zhen’s opponent.
Among the two puppets, one was in the early stage of the core formation. He believed he could take it by himself. Thinking of his nether fire, he rushed toward the puppet.
A core formation evil cultivator noticed a scorching heat coming from his sea of consciousness. He immediately wanted to put away the puppet in panic, but it was too late. In just a moment, the puppet changed owners and was controlled by Cheng Qi.
This evil cultivator was also seriously injured by his opponent at the moment he lost his mind.
With the puppet’s protection, Cheng Qi no longer needed to hide behind Li Tianyan. He controlled the puppet to block the female evil cultivator’s puppet. Li Tianyan was no longer restrained and could attack the female evil cultivator on the opposite side with all his strength.
Just thinking about this woman hurting Li Tianyan and almost killing them in the sea made the purple fire in Cheng Qi’s eyes burn brightly. He whipped at the female evil cultivator whenever he found an opportunity.
Even Hong Lian and the puppet couldn’t deal with Li Tianyan. Now that the puppet was stopped by someone, she had to deal with the whips swung by the shuanger from time to time, and she suddenly felt a little rushed. She couldn’t help but send a message to Fan Zhuo, “Why don’t you think of a solution quickly?”
She never thought that a boy in the early stage of core formation would be so difficult to deal with. Now she could finally understand Fan Zhuo’s mood. No wonder he was so afraid of Li Tianyan and did not even dare to confront him.
After receiving the message from Hong Lian, Fan Zhuo only mocked coldly, “What else can I do, you said you could handle it.”
At this time, Fan Zhuo was having a hard time dealing with the two core formations at their later stages and had no way of caring about others. But even if he had the ability, he didn’t intend to help.
In the entire Shura Sect, apart from the sect leader, there was only one Hong Lian who could stand on equal footing with him. However, this woman loved to contradict him in everything, and she wanted to be the sect leader’s wife.
If she was allowed to live, he would have to be deprived of many rights. Fan Zhuo even wanted Li Tianyan to kill this woman before the sect leader showed up.
In the battle with Li Tianyan, Hong Lian spared no effort from the beginning. Every move consumed a lot of true spiritual energy. Now that her true spiritual energy was insufficient, the power of the Blood Demon Sword in her hand was getting weaker and weaker.
Unlike Hong Lian, during these two battles, Li Tianyan only consumed the true spiritual energy stored in one formation eye, which was like a drop in the bucket for him.
The white light of the spiritual sword in Li Tianyan’s hand was dazzling, and the speed of the sword was getting faster and faster, which made Hong Lian unable to resist.
Seeing that she was about to be defeated by this person, Hong Lian bit the tip of her tongue, squirted out a few drops of her heart’s blood onto the demon sword, drained her true spiritual energy, and slashed in the direction of Cheng Qi.
The pressure on the sword was extremely heavy and had already suppressed Cheng Qi to the point of being unable to move even before it got close. He felt enveloped by an extremely terrifying aura, and all the feelings were several times stronger than the last time they were attacked by her.
Li Tianyan also stepped in front of Cheng Qi, and the Yin and Yang swords flew through the air. The Yang sword once again resisted the bloody sword, and the Yin sword penetrated into the heart of the female evil cultivator, who had exhausted her true spiritual energy, instantly draining all the energy from her body and taking her life.
The death of Hong Lian made other core formation cultivators notice, and for a moment, they looked at Li Tianyan with fearful eyes. Hong Lian was the second in command of the Shura Sect, and her strength was even higher than that of Fan Zhuo, yet she died at the hands of a boy who was in the early stage of the core formation.
Until that moment, many core formation evil cultivators had given up. They had finally reached the core formation stage, and they didn’t want to die like this.
