The Enemy Is Before Me-Cut Off His Roots!

"Who is this person, flying directly out of the Thoughtfire?"

The moment this person appeared, everyone in the hall paled.

Whether it was Zhou Meng and Huang Xun tumbling in the air, or the terrified scholars, or even the Elder Beiming, they were all shaken and then recognized the person's identity!

"Qiu Yan!"

"Young Master Qiu!"

"Mr. Qiu!"

The person who flew out of the flames was Qiu Yan, his whole body surging with masculine energy, and wherever his figure went, the scenery distorted!

This is because the Scholar Forest World is composed of thoughts, which belong to Yin, and instinctively rejects and distorts Yang energy!

"Carrying Yang Qi? What's going on?" The Elder Beiming was surprised and doubtful, but his transformed Literary Thought shadow seized the opportunity and flew upwards, heading towards the Cloud-Mist Stars!

Just then, the floor of the hall trembled and then began to ripple, the smooth, flat surface instantly becoming uneven, like the surface of water!

The Elder Beiming was high above, able to take in the entire scene of the hall, and immediately noticed the undercurrent beneath the wavy ground!

"Young Master Qiu, be careful! The Sun Household has merged with this palace and can manipulate the underground Silver-Mercury! That mercury is derived from a point of Dao derived from the accumulated insights and condensation of the entire mountain. Once it touches your body, it will defile your Divine Soul and assimilate your physical body!" He immediately transmitted his thoughts to warn Qiu Yan.

Although Bei Ming did not know how Qiu Yan preserved his soul within the Thought Fire, since the two were not enemies at the moment, he certainly could not allow Qiu Yan to fall into a passive position and be ambushed by Sun Yong.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir!" Qiu Yan replied, his eyes flashing with a sharp light that condensed into two thin beams of light that pierced straight into the ground. Then, a look of understanding appeared on his face. "Lead is life, mercury is nature. This Scholar Forest World is formed from intention. As a sacred place of the Nature Dao, only after the essence of intention from the Book Mountain has settled can it become mercury."

"You old man, you're always meddling! But say what you will, what can Literary Path Creation against absolute power? He's just one person; how can he contend with the power of an entire mountain?"

Sun Yong's voice came from underground. Then the ground churned, creating huge waves that completely engulfed Qiu Yan!

"Who said I'm all alone?" Qiu Yan withdrew his gaze, his entire being radiating a cold and stern aura. The surrounding temperature dropped as a result! He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, his will breaking free from his soul and merging with the resentment that clung to his body.

Li Fire Visualization!

In an instant, the shadow of the Li Trigram faintly appeared behind Qiu Yan. His body was wreathed in flickering flames of resentment, which he inhaled!

"Huh? Swallowing resentment? Has Qiu Yan gone mad? Resentment is extremely harmful to the soul. If it invades the consciousness, one will immediately become delirious and insane!" Not far away, Zhou Meng and Huang Xun, who had just managed to stabilize their souls, showed surprise.

Boom!

At this moment, a huge wave had formed, and Silver-Mercury roared in. Its interior was extremely yin and cold!

Yin is the Postnatal Realm Yin Qi, which is mercury!

In an instant, a chilling aura swept over him, but Qiu Yan remained unmoved. He turned his hand seals, unleashing Water Curtain Technique, and then opened his mouth to spray water!

Call!

A powerful, raging flame erupted from its mouth!

Guided by the hand seals, the flames flowed like water, condensing into a wall of fire around Qiu Yan! Resentment danced within the flames, clearly formed from condensed thoughts— Thoughtfire!

The thought of returning to the soul is related to nature, and is more yin, but the Thoughtfire is yang arising from yin, and yang arising from yin.

Silver-Mercury strikes a wall of fire!

Yin-Yang collide!

Boom!

The entire hall began to shake!

The colossal wave of Silver-Mercury, imbued with extreme yin and cold, shuddered violently, then completely disintegrated and collapsed, from which came Sun Yong's horrified cry—

"I used the power of the Ore Mother to strike a soul, and I was actually repelled! This is impossible! The essence of the Ore Mother is the condensation of countless insights accumulated over decades or even centuries. How could someone Literary Path Creation possibly withstand it?"

The Ore-Mother Hall could not have been built in a day, nor by a single thought, nor by one person. Its power was vast and expansive. Sun Yong, by combining the arrangements made by his predecessors with it, could more clearly feel the strength of this power, which was simply beyond the power of one person to resist!

But precisely because of this, the shock that Qiu Yan's breath Thought Fire caused to shatter the Silver-Mercury far exceeded the damage to Sun Yong's soul!

Surprised, he didn't stop. With a thought, a chill rose from the ground, and Yin energy roared out, combining with the Silver-Mercury and spreading towards Qiu Yan!

But Qiu Yan remained unmoved. He calmed his mind, his Heart Fire pulsating and his soul power flowing. With a hand seal, he visualized and controlled the fire wall around him, causing it to explode and expand rapidly, turning into a cloud of fire in the blink of an eye, pressing down with immense force!

Upright and honorable, we will overwhelm the enemy with righteous forces!

As soon as the fiery cloud appeared, the temperature in the entire hall rose again. Wherever the flames passed, the scene turned dark and seemed to be wiped out!

The scholars, along with Zhou Meng and Huang Xun, sensed the terrifying power contained within the fiery cloud and retreated in panic!

Then, the fiery cloud pressed down on the Silver-Mercury and the yin energy, and that extremely yin power immediately melted away like snow!

Completely crushing!

However, the fiery clouds were also neutralized by the power of Yin. Even so, the scene was still astonishing, with the smoke formed by the clash of Yin-Yang filling the entire hall.

"Impossible! Impossible! The Ore-Mother Quicksilver, is almost at the Innate Realm. No matter how powerful Qiu Yan is, he is only a person, at the Postnatal Realm. The flames he emits could not possibly have such power! I..." Sun Yong's surprised exclamation already contained a hint of panic.

But Qiu Yan immediately interrupted him, "Don't try to confuse me with words. If you're really shocked, you don't need to say so much!" With that, he waved his hands, his sleeves fluttering, Manifest Law Spirit flew out, circling around and causing a lot of Yin Qi to appear in the surroundings.

The Yin Qi was invisible and had already permeated the surroundings, seemingly trying to envelop Qiu Yan. However, he eventually discovered that Sun Yong's words were clearly a cover for his true purpose!

"However, this Yin Qi arrived at just the right time; it concealed Sun Yong's intentions..."

Qiu Yan spoke, the resentment on his body suddenly scattered and merged with the Yin Qi. Immediately afterward, Fire Star appeared, and his will, along with the Yin Qi, burst into flames!

The next moment, the flames followed the connection and extended towards the ground!

"Ah!!!" Sun Yong's scream came from underground.

Clap clap clap!

Then, a series of crisp sounds rang out, the sound of thoughts breaking. Sun Yong made a decisive move and severed several burning strands of thought.

This pain is no different from severing your own limbs!

"Good decision!" Qiu Yan said, his eyes suddenly darting left and right.

All around, the scholars jumped up and rushed towards Qiu Yan as if their lives depended on it, not even caring about the still-burning Thoughtfire, each releasing their Literary Thought!

Instantly, a completely different realm of feeling descended and coalesced into one!

The immense atmosphere created immense pressure, enveloping Qiu Yan!

"This is the perfect time to use our pieces!" Below, the ground rippled, forming a vortex from which Sun Yong's figure emerged. His face was pale, and his aura was fluctuating, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

"As expected of Literary Path Creation, you are indeed troublesome. In that case, I will reveal the trump card I prepared for Bei Xuan! After defeating you, I will corrupt your soul and control it, which will surely allow me to completely suppress Bei Xuan!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Yong suddenly raised his hand and thrust it through his own chest, then pulled it outwards with a sharp motion!

Call!

He pulled out a pale yellow aura, which exuded a profound, noble, and ancient aura, twisting and shifting, faintly forming the shape of a dragon!

Then, as soon as Sun Yong let go, the dragon-shaped aura "whooshed" into the soles of his feet!

At the same time, a sudden gust of wind arose in the sky. Qiu Yan's Divine Soul spun around, and instantly his Yang Qi surged, revealing a firm and tenacious will. He blasted away the Confucian scholars who were rushing towards him. Then, his Divine Soul surged upwards, and with a grab of both hands, he seized Zhou Meng and Huang Xun by the neck amidst the flying crowd!

"Huh? He actually noticed the two of us!"

Zhou and Huang both looked surprised. Just now, they had calmed their minds and lay in wait among the crowd, ready to make their move. But before they could even make a move, Qiu Yan had grabbed them! His thoughts invaded their souls, forcefully suppressing their consciousness!

"You two are both Literary Heart and malicious, why do you aid and abet evil? However, since I've already made my move, I, Qiu, will not show any mercy!"

As he spoke, fire ignited in Qiu Yan's hand, and the two condensed Literary Heart souls instantly burst into flames, which Qiu Yan then flung downwards!

"Ah! Ah!"

Two screams echoed from the fire, but their minds were forcibly restrained by Qiu Yan, making it difficult for them to control their souls. They could only fly downwards like cannonballs!

Directly targeting Sun Yong!

Faced with the two burning Thoughtfire Literary Heart, Sun Yong sneered. Without moving his feet, thin red threads suddenly flew up from all around him, twisting and knotting into a red net that covered the air and blocked the two fireballs!

Whoosh!

Flames burned along the red net, and then ripples appeared on the ground. Tang Qing's Divine Soul flew out from it and stood in front of Sun Yong. Her Divine Soul vibrated, scattering the scattered Fire Star so that not a single one would fall on the latter.

"Well done..." Sun Yong smiled faintly and praised her, but upon hearing this, Tang Qing showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, her face turned ashen, her eyes filled with tears, and her emotional fluctuations were filled with humiliation.

"Don't rush, wait a moment, you'll have to deal with your cousin yourself!" Sun Yong spoke, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and Silver-Mercury slurry flew up, covering his body and instantly enveloping him, turning into a silver mass that twisted and shifted, forming a dragon's head!

With a dragon's roar, the dragon's head flew up, followed by Silver-Mercury that condensed into a dragon's body, roaring as it flew towards Qiu Yan!

Above, specks of light drifted down from the Cloud-Mist Stars...

"Oh? He actually uses Dragon Qi to control Silver-Mercury. This Sun Yong's soul actually contains Dragon Qi..." Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes. "This person is extremely arrogant and has endless tricks up his sleeve. Rather than confronting him head-on, it's better to completely sever his foundation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yan's Divine Soul trembled, and a huge thought roared out, connecting with the scattered resentment. Then, the resentment rapidly condensed, revealing a series of phantom figures, which were Zhan Fang and his group!

As soon as they appeared, they emitted a sense of connection, linking up with the other Confucian scholars present.

"Second brother..."

"Second Brother..."

In the crowd, Zhan Cheng and Zhan Zhen's souls trembled violently!
