Severing the Branches
Blade Intent is formed by the bonding and tempering of mental and spiritual thoughts through a powerful will. When combined with Spiritual Power, it not only possesses extremely strong offensive capabilities, but can also shake the soul and seize the spirit.
However, on the one hand Great White Blade Intent is still in its early stages and not yet resilient enough; on the other hand, although Yang Tianyou possesses powerful Soul Power, he has not yet condensed his Divine Sense and cannot freely release it outside his body. Therefore, he can only exert the effect of suppressing the soul and capturing spirits in close combat.
The Hundred-Ghost Twin Fiends are incredibly powerful, and protected by Second-Tier Upper-Grade defensive magic Law Artifact, making them difficult to approach. Therefore, the effect of their Blade Intent cannot be fully utilized.
But the Golden-Scaled Beast was different. Five or six tenths of Spirit Beast strength was concentrated in its Fleshly Body, and it was also good at close combat. This allowed Yang Tianyou to unleash his full power, and his Blade Intent also made a great contribution, giving him a crucial opportunity.
Roar!
Under the threat of death, the Golden-Scaled Beast unleashed its full power, instantly sending up clouds of blood mist from its entire body, tinging its originally golden scales with crimson.
It slightly raised its eyes, its beastly pupils turning crimson, and suddenly extended its right claw, its golden-red tip gleaming, aiming for the chest of the person in front of it.
The Zhao Household family's clan- Spirit Beast's intention was clear: either die together, or retreat!
Feeling the frenzied and violent aura before him, and the stinging pain in his chest, Yang Tianyou grinned.
"You want to drag me down with you? Who's afraid of who!"
He didn't retreat even a step, his heart surging like Volcano eruption, his arms as steady as mountains, without the slightest hesitation, his long sword slashing furiously, thunder shaking the eight directions!
Boom!
The violent fluctuations of Spiritual Qi swept out like a hurricane. In an instant, dust filled the sky, carrying flying stones, and a large crater with a diameter of several dozen feet appeared on the ground!
Thump!
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was mixed with the whistling of the air. A gust of wind blew by, and the dust gradually dissipated. Yang Tianwang hurriedly led his men over to check.
Amidst the chaotic earth and rocks, Yang Tianyou stood proudly, knife in hand. His clothes were torn and his flesh was mangled at the chest, but he had ultimately triumphed!
"Nineteenth Younger Brother, are you alright?" Yang Tianwang stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's alright, that beast probably didn't expect me to have this trick up my sleeve!" Blood trickled from the corner of Yang Tianyou's mouth as he waved the discarded Talisman in his hand; it was none other than a Defensive Talisman the "Black Mountain Talisman."
Upon seeing this, Yang Tianwang laughed heartily, "Only you, the creator, could use this Tier 2 Talisman so easily and swiftly. Anyone else wouldn't even have time to activate it."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou smiled slightly, endured the pain, and popped a Golden Radiance Pill into his mouth. Feeling the medicinal power surging in his body, his injuries were gradually healed, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the battles in the other two locations had just ended.
Wolf Ancestor launched a sneak attack, immediately inflicting a severe blow on Three-Horned Yellow Ox. Although the latter was tough and didn't die immediately, it was still easily defeated and killed by Wolf Ancestor in the subsequent battle.
On the other side, the Blazing Flame Eagle fared even worse. It was besieged by two Foundation Establishment from the Liu Household, and with the help of thirty Qi Refining forming an array, it soon perished at the hands of Liu Lingyu.
Yang Tianyou's formidable fighting power undoubtedly deterred the lurking eyes, and after the battle, these people retreated one after another.
"Is Fellow Daoist Friends alright?" Liu Changqing stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Daoist Friends. This injury will heal with a few days of rest!"
"That's good. What do we do now? Retreat?"
"Withdraw! But we'll withdraw only after Zhao Leicong has fallen. If necessary, we'll add fuel to the fire. I can't rest easy until I see him perish," Yang Tianyou said, his eyes gleaming.
"That's only right. Zhao Leicong is a major threat; we absolutely cannot let him live." Liu Changqing nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go! Zhao Leicong and Iron Rakshasa have gone over there to fight. Let's follow them!"
After saying that, Yang Tianyou suppressed his injuries and rushed out first, followed closely by the others.
Thump!
Another dull bell rang out, and the Nine-Tiger Golden Bell flew backward in response. Zhao Leicong, whose mind was drawn to it, turned pale once more.
At this moment, the Zhao Household Ancestor appeared extremely miserable. Perhaps knowing that he could no longer delay, Iron Rakshasa finally used all his battle techniques except for the Rakshasa Battle Body.
Instantly, the Iron Rakshasa's already extremely fierce attack intensified. Although Zhao Leicong fought desperately with his Qi-Exploding Pill, he was still beaten so badly that he couldn't lift his head.
Within a few dozen moves, this powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator became emaciated, his Blood Qi depleted. His once rosy, infant-like face now resembled that of an old man on his deathbed, dull and wrinkled.
Yang Tianyou flew over from afar and, seeing this situation, felt a great weight lifted from his heart. Given Zhao Leicong's current physical condition, let alone Golden Core Formation Pill, he would probably fall below the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection after the battle, and his lifespan would only be a few years left.
Of course, it is more likely that he perished at the hands of the Iron Rakshasa.
But...
Yang Tianyou suddenly turned around, and other Foundation Establishment on Bianhe Mountain, who were also highly sensitive, looked up at the distant night sky.
There, a bolt of lightning hurtled towards them, its passage causing thunder and lightning to rumble and clouds to surge, creating an exceptionally powerful spectacle.
"You audacious Devil Cultivator! How dare you act so presumptuously within the territory of my Luochuan Sect!"
The sound crashed down like rolling Thunder, followed by a burly, imposing young man holding a long Iron-Black Long Spear upside down.
Amidst the howling wind, the young man glared angrily, his feet treading on wind and thunder. In the blink of an eye, he was already less than a hundred feet away from the Iron Rakshasa.
With Long Spear in hand, his movements were like a dragon, and amidst the crackling lightning, the burly young man thrust out his spear.
Boom!
Thunder roar erupted as a bolt of Blue-Purple Thunderbolt struck down from the sky, its target being Iron Rakshasa.
Faced with this attack, the latter frowned slightly, and the demonic runes on his massive body began to writhe, eventually transforming into a black shield above his head, forcefully blocking the attack.
"Yun Zhan, it's you again!"
"Haha, it's me, your grandpa! Come on, we didn't have a proper fight last time, how about we settle this with a fight to the death?"
Yun Zhan laughed heartily, his expression heroic, his Long Spear Taishan, crackling with Thunder as it pierced through the air.
"A fight to the death? Then let's fight!"
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, Iron Rakshasa snorted coldly. She stepped into the void with her right foot, enduring the Thunder strikes, and ascended to the sky step by step.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two clashed with tremendous force, accompanied by thunder, Lei Ming, and howling ghosts, their battle crisscrossing the sky and demonstrating to Yang Tianyou what a true Foundation Establishment expert should be.
"Another expert no less formidable than Iron Rakshasa. Judging from his words, he should be a cultivator from the Luochuan Sect. We cannot hesitate..."
Yang Tianyou glanced at the battle in the sky, his eyes gleaming. Then he nodded slightly to Liu Changqing and Concealment into the distance.
The latter's eyes flickered slightly, naturally knowing what he was going to do. Without saying much, he and Wolf Ancestor organized the cultivators from the Yang and Liu Households to evacuate.
"Senior Liu, what's wrong with my Nineteenth Younger Brother...?" Yang Tianwang asked softly, his face full of doubt.
"Daoist Friends is going to sever the Zhao Household's branches!" Liu Changqing said meaningfully.
"Cut off the branches?" Yang Tianwang was taken aback, then suddenly realized, and without saying anything more, followed closely behind Wolf Ancestor to retreat.
