Friend or Foe Obscured

Nine flying swords, flashing with lightning, swirled around Ji Ruxue.

Ji Ruxue stood amidst the lightning, like a goddess descending to earth, mysterious and captivating.

Ji Ruxue leaped into the air, carrying nine flying swords, and charged towards the five-headed ghost.

Because she was deep within the Azure Tide Secret Realm, her Divine Sense was suppressed, forcing Ji Ruxue to approach the ghosts and engage in close combat.

Jie Hui was also taken aback by Ji Ruxue's ability to control lightning.

But before he could make any move, Ji Ruxue and the Five Ghosts were already close by.

Ji Ruxue formed a sword finger with her left hand and gestured it towards her.

Nine flying swords shot out in succession, but instead of harming the enemy, they circled around to the outside and surrounded the five ghosts.

"Exorcising Evil Sword Formation, activate!"

Ji Ruxue shouted in a delicate voice.

As Ji Ruxue continuously performed sword incantations, a certain connection suddenly arose between the nine flying swords.

Countless Miaofa flew out from the nine flying swords.

The French characters were formed from silver lightning bolts, which quickly connected with each other.

A gray-black transparent light curtain, with nine flying swords as its base and lightning runes as its barrier, suddenly appeared.

The five ghosts were trapped inside.

Jie Hui's expression became extremely solemn.

Ji Ruxue had actually cultivated a sword formation, and it was even a Thunder Method sword formation.

Fortunately, although the sword formation trapped the ghost, it failed to sever his connection with it.

In other words, the five demons are still under his control.

Jie Hui slid the prayer beads, and the five demons, each wielding a long sword, simultaneously slashed at the same spot on the sword formation barrier.

Upon seeing this, Ji Ruxue revealed a cold smile.

"A mere ghost dares to try and break my sword formation? Wishful thinking!"

"Lei Lai!"

Each of the nine flying swords shot out a bolt of lightning.

Nine bolts of lightning, with immense force and boundless divine might, struck the five-headed skeletal demon in the blink of an eye.

The five skeletal demons merged into one, facing different directions, and slashed out fiercely with their long swords.

A dazzling burst of lightning instantly filled the entire sword formation, completely obscuring the figures of the five ghostly creatures.

As the lightning subsided, the weakened figures of the five ghosts were revealed.

The five ghosts' souls became much more transparent, as if they might disintegrate at any moment.

The ghost that Ji Ruxue, Jie Hui him filled with hatred.

He reached out and took out Human-Skin Hand Drum.

A gentle tap.

A dull drumbeat sounded.

Ji Ruxue swayed slightly, a look of terror appearing on her face.

A gigantic beast with an exceptionally terrifying appearance appeared before her.

The giant beast was hundreds of feet tall, and resembled a human, but had the head of a bull.

His eyes were bloodshot, revealing cruelty and bloodlust.

Looking down from his vantage point, Ji Ruxue as insignificant as an ant.

Surrounded by the giant beast, Ji Ruxue felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, deeply aware of her own weakness, and unable to muster even the slightest will to resist.

All she wanted to do at that moment was escape, to get as far away from the giant beast as possible.

But his feet felt like they were made of lead, and he couldn't move an inch.

What terrified Ji Ruxue even more was that the giant beast raised its right foot and slowly stepped towards her.

Ji Ruxue's vision was completely filled by the enormous foot.

She could even smell the pungent stench emanating from the giant beast's feet.

Just Ji Ruxue thought she was going to die at the hands of the giant beast...

A loud shout rang in her ears.

"Junior Sister Ji, wake up!"

Ji Ruxue suddenly woke up as if from a dream.

She suddenly realized:

He was in the Azure Tide Secret Realm, inside the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall.

The battle between Zheng and Jie Hui.

Where did this giant beast come from inside the main hall?

That giant beast is an illusion!

This is a mental attack targeting the soul.

Having seen through the beast's true nature, the creature that had previously terrified Ji Ruxue now appeared to her as nothing more than a facade.

Ji Ruxue formed a sword-finger gesture with her right hand and gently pointed it at the giant beast.

A burst of Sword Qi shot out.

The giant beast instantly transformed into countless tiny specks of light and dissipated.

Ji Ruxue suddenly felt that everything before her eyes brighten up.

Everything before her eyes returned to normal.

Looking up, she discovered that the Exorcising Evil Sword Formation had been broken because she was no longer in control.

The five demons have already been taken back by Jie Hui.

The removal of the ghosts meant that the stone Meditation Cushion, which had been occupied by the five ghosts, was now empty.

Ji Ruxue stared coldly at Jie Hui, nine flying swords spinning rapidly around her, looking as if she hadn't yet recovered from her fear.

There were beads of sweat on her forehead, the cold sweat from being startled by the giant beast.

But she had no intention of giving up.

Although the human head drum of Jie Hui was strange, Ji Ruxue had already seen it once and was on guard, so she believed she would not fall for it easily again.

"Bald monk, take this!"

Nine flying swords, crackling with lightning, were about to strike Jie Hui.

Jie Hui said calmly, "Female benefactor, this humble monk has already given up the stone Meditation Cushion, why are you being so aggressive?"

Jie Hui took the initiative to show weakness, but Ji Ruxue was unwilling to give up easily.

The flying swords shot out one after another, rushing towards Jie Hui.

Jie Wu suddenly transformed into a giant golden man, stood up, and roared in a deep, booming voice.

"You bitch, can't you understand what my senior brother Jie Hui is saying? You really think you can run rampant just because you have a broken sword formation? If you dare to release it, I'll smash you into pieces."

"Junior Sister Ji, let's not cause any more trouble, come back."

Mu Yunxin suddenly spoke up, offering advice.

"Snort!"

Ji Ruxue snorted coldly, somewhat unwillingly sheathing her flying sword, and turned to walk towards her stone Meditation Cushion.

With three Foundation Establishment Peak Stage cultivators present at Primordial Unity Temple, even if the Blissful Union Sect and Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect join forces to fight against them, the only outcome will be mutual destruction.

This will only allow the other people in the main hall to reap the benefits for nothing.

The empty stone Meditation Cushion was occupied by a member of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect.

Jie Hui sat on his stone Meditation Cushion, but he failed to snatch Meditation Cushion, and the five ghosts were seriously injured as a result.

His expression was no longer as kind and gentle as before, but rather quite gloomy.

Suddenly, he realized that someone was spying on him.

Looking around the main hall, Jie Hui realized that Xue Gu from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect was spying on him.

However, the other party wasn't spying on him; they were staring at him without any attempt to hide it.

A surge of anger suddenly rose in Jie Hui's heart.

We've already admitted defeat and handed over the empty stone Meditation Cushion; what more does the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect want?

Did they want to steal my stone Meditation Cushion?

Just as Jie Hui was filled with resentment, he noticed...

Xue Gu's gaze swept over Lei Huayuan and the other four Lei Clan cultivators, a barely perceptible sneer appearing on his lips.

Jie Hui stared intently at Xue Gu, seemingly unsure of Xue Gu's intentions.

Xue Gu nodded slightly.

Then, he turned his head away and stopped looking at Jie Hui.

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Jie Hui's face, and his expression returned to one of compassion.

A little over fifteen minutes later.

A vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi began to gather, causing the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the entire hall to rise sharply.

The people in the main hall felt a strange sensation, as if they were inside a giant Spirit Vein.

It seemed that with each breath, he could inhale a large amount of Spiritual Qi, and his cultivation level seemed to be quietly improving.

Everyone's expressions brightened.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid, condensed in the present moment.
