Startling Change

Xing Liren stared at the black banner in the sheep-headed man's hand, gritting his teeth and roaring angrily.

"Raging Water Banner! Xing Yixuan, it was you!"

Seeing that her identity had been exposed, Xing Yixuan stopped trying to hide it and ripped off the sheep's head mask.

"So what if I'm Xing Liren?"

"We have no past grudges or recent enmity. How dare you disregard our kinship and attack me for no reason? What is your purpose?" Xing Liren questioned angrily.

Xing Yixuan's expression was icy, and she responded sharply.

"Xing Liren, you betrayed your Lineage for your own selfish desires, and you still have the nerve to mention 'family ties'? Today, I will cleanse the Xing Family of its corruption."

Xing Liren's expression became somewhat flustered, clearly not expecting that Xing Yixuan would discover his secret collusion with the Jing Family.

He turned his gaze to Jing Lie, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Xing Liren had only one thought in his mind—he had to get rid of Xing Yixuan; only in this way could he protect this secret.

The current situation was also extremely difficult for Jing Lie.

Treasure Peak is too close to Fangzhu City, and the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Xing Family could arrive at any time upon hearing the news.

Killing Xing Yixuan, a genius of the Xing Family, here would be tantamount to breaking ties with the Xing Family.

Jing Lie turned his head and looked at the gray-robed old man behind him with a questioning gaze.

The old man's eyes were fierce, and he nodded slightly without making a sound.

Jing Lie turned around, his sharp gaze fixed on Xing Yixuan, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

He channeled all his Law Power into the Flood Dragon Banner, Law Power surged into the flag like a tidal wave.

In an instant, the gale howled again, several times more violently than before!

A hurricane suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hundreds of feet high, as if it would shatter the entire Ye Kong.

Xing Yixuan looked at the oncoming hurricane without fear, her red lips slightly parted, and she said coldly.

"Well done! I want to see just how strong Jing Lie, who has been famous for a century and is hailed as the number one Golden Core cultivator in the Jing Family, really is."

Xing Yixuan unleashed the power of the Raging Water Banner in her hand.

All around was filled with water vapor, and a huge water dragon, over a hundred feet long, condensed in the mist.

Every scale on the water dragon's body shimmered with a cold light, making it look just like a real dragon.

"Go!"

Xing Yixuan let out a soft sound.

The water dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, surged forth.

In an instant, the water dragon met the hurricane.

The water dragon's massive body churned in the hurricane.

The dragon claws flashed through the air, carrying immense power as they relentlessly pierced the hurricane.

The dragon's tail swept across with overwhelming force, attempting to tear the hurricane apart.

The hurricane was equally fierce, its gale-force winds relentlessly slicing through the dragon's body.

Both Jing Lie and Xing Yixuan were fully activating their respective Law Treasure, and their faces gradually turned pale, clearly indicating that they had exhausted themselves.

"Boom!"

Sudden.

The hurricane and the water dragon shattered simultaneously.

It emitted a deafening roar that shook the heavens.

The earth shook violently.

A fierce wind swept through.

The rain poured down.

It was as if a storm had struck.

The terrifying aftershocks swept in all directions, engulfing everything within a radius of twenty miles.

Trees were uprooted, rocks were crushed instantly, and the entire earth trembled under this force.

The dense raindrops pounded on the ground, making a "pitter-patter" sound.

Rain and gale intertwined, creating a blurred and broken world.

Xing Yixuan and Jing Lie were affected to varying degrees.

Both were so shocked that they coughed up blood and staggered back several feet, indicating that they were evenly matched.

Outside the beast cave where Song Wen was hiding, rubble, soil, and rotten wood kept falling, resembling a scene of natural disaster.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Xing Yixuan and Jing Lie exerted their full power, and their combined strength was so formidable that the surrounding area of dozens of miles was likely affected by the gale and torrential rain.

What level of Law Treasure did the two use?

A top-grade Law Treasure? Or Life-Bound Treasure?

"I'm afraid there's no chance of obtaining the Heavenly Spirit Pill," Song Wen thought to himself.

At that very moment.

In a valley more than 30 miles from Song Wen, a fierce wind and torrential rain were raging above the valley.

Two figures stood in the dark valley.

A blood-red Formation Plate floated in front of one of them.

The person's hand Method Formula changed constantly, and with each Method Formula, the runes on the Formation Plate became brighter.

As he continuously poured his Law Power into it, the Formation Plate began to vibrate, emitting a low hum.

The crimson light on the Formation Plate gradually intensified. It started as a faint crimson, but as time went on, the light became increasingly dazzling, as if blood were boiling under the scorching sun.

The entire valley was bathed in a crimson glow, as if the blood-red light were tearing through the pitch-black night.

At the same time, the intense Spiritual Qi within the valley surged and churned like boiling water.

Suddenly, a pitch-black array barrier rose out of thin air, enveloping the entire valley.

As soon as the array barrier appeared, it quickly spread outwards.

Its speed was so fast that it was like lightning breaking through the sky or a meteor falling to the ground, covering a range of hundreds of miles in an instant.

As the array barrier expanded, the air was compressed, producing a sharp whistling sound.

Covered by the aftershocks of Xing Yixuan and Jing Lie's battle, the strange phenomena in the valley and the spread of the array barrier did not seem so conspicuous.

Song Wen watched helplessly as the black light curtain pierced through his body and sped past. A sudden tightness gripped his heart, and a nameless panic surged within him.

He hurriedly looked inside himself, but found nothing unusual.

However, that feeling of unease lingered, as if a great crisis was about to befall us.

Song Wen dared not remain hidden there any longer. He emerged from the beast's den and darted through the dark, dense forest, intending to leave this place behind.

The fourteen people on Treasure Peak were also pierced through by the black light curtain.

Apart from the gray-robed old man, everyone else looked astonished.

The old man in the gray robe turned his head, looked towards the valley, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Thirty breaths later, Song Wen had fled dozens of miles away when a dark array barrier blocked his path.

Song Wen used his magical Law Power to lift up a fist-sized rock.

The stone suddenly accelerated and crashed into the array's light barrier.

Just as the stone was about to touch the light barrier, the barrier emitted a dark, ominous light.

When illuminated by this black light, the stone turned into countless tiny stone chips, which scattered and flew in all directions.

A look of surprise flashed in Song Wen's eyes; this array's light barrier was actually launching a counterattack.

Just as Song Wen was pondering how to escape the formation...

Suddenly, the entire formation emitted a deep black light, making the area even darker, as black as undissolved ink, without a trace of light.

Song Wen's expression was solemn, his eyes fixed on the array's light screen, wary of any unknown dangers.

He suddenly felt his body lighten, and a strong sense of weightlessness washed over him.

Then, Song Wen felt dizzy and everything in front of him became unreal and distorted.
