In the white jade waterside pavilion, a blinding pale light engulfed the entire space.
The crow in the head stared in the direction of those people, its scarlet eyes flashing.
However, the expected loud explosion did not come. The jade falcon hovering in mid-air tilted its head in confusion. The next second, the white light beam seemed to have touched some invisible barrier and was bounced back!
The jade falcon let out a shrill scream, suddenly flapped its wings and lifted up its body. The thick beam of light whizzed past its belly and hit the white jade roof of the waterside pavilion diagonally.
"Boom--!!!"
In the deafening explosion, almost half of the roof was overturned, broken jade shavings flew up and brought up large amounts of smoke and dust, and the cold wind mixed with the fishy smell of the lake poured in.
Bi Yue stared in the direction of those people. When the flying smoke and jade chips dispersed, she saw Su Jingui's round and huge body blocking the front of the four of them.
His legs were firmly planted on the horse, and his hands maintained an extremely complicated hand seal posture. He held up a pale golden hemispherical shield with ancient Sanskrit characters flowing around his body. Su Jingui's face was deep, his hair and beard were flying, and he actually looked a bit like a master.
"Su... Sect Leader Su?" Lin Qingyang was still protected by Cang Mo in his arms, looking at him in surprise.
Su Jingui slowly put away his gestures, exhaled a long breath, and said in a deep voice, "Although I am not good at fighting, this defensive skill... Looking at the entire world of immortality, I am still somewhat accomplished."
Lin Qingyang was still full of confusion. "I know you are good at defense, but... why can you suddenly use spiritual power?!"
"Wait a minute... let me take a breath first!" Su Jingui's inscrutable master posture could not be maintained for even three seconds. As soon as the hand of the seal was loosened, he immediately bent down in full shape, holding his knees with both hands and breathing heavily, "I'm exhausted..."
At this moment, the blood puppets that had been knocked back surged up again like a tide.
"Zheng--!"
A clear and exciting sword cry suddenly resounded through the waterside pavilion!
Jian Hong's expression was cold and stern, and the long sword in his hand swept out. A silver-white sword energy like a crescent moon passed by. The whole row of blood puppets rushing at the front were neatly cut off at the waist without even making a sound!
"How could this happen?" Bi Yue murmured, with doubts in her cold voice.
Li Tian crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows with a sneer, "Is it possible that the ancestral magic weapon of my Tianxuan Pavilion really allows you, an outsider, to do whatever you want?"
As if to confirm his words, the main formation behind Bi Yue, which was originally flashing with a scarlet halo, suddenly began to flash wildly, like a malfunctioning machine. Dazzling sparks and small explosions burst out from the seams of the white jade, and black smoke emitted.
"What did you do?" Bi Yue asked coldly.
Li Tian shrugged nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing. It's just that when we were in the lake before, the gears at the bottom of the lake were jammed. Although those bronze gears are powerful, there are always things that cannot be broken."
Hearing this, an idea flashed in Lin Qingyang's mind, and she turned to look at Su Jingui, who was panting. Under the torn robe, the gold silk armor he had been wearing was missing.
Su Jingui muttered with a bitter look on his face, "That's a magic weapon passed down from our family!"
He was reluctant to part with it, but Lin Qingyang's wolf didn't even give him a chance to hesitate, and just took it off.
"Golden silk armor!" Bi Yue obviously realized it and muttered in a low voice.
Li Tian sneered and continued, "The gears are stuck in the golden armor, and the energy cannot be transmitted. However, the main array is still absorbing it frantically. When the energy exceeds the load limit of the array, it will naturally collapse."
There was another bird song as he spoke, and the jade falcon swooped down in mid-air again, opening its beak angrily, and white light condensed deep in its throat again.
But this time, before it sprayed out the beam of light, Cang Mo snorted coldly, looked over with a cold look with his amber wolf eyes, and saw a black demonic energy rushing out, heading straight towards the jade falcon.
The jade falcon in mid-air seemed to be pinched tightly by an invisible hand, and its movements stopped abruptly. Then, the violent demon power exploded in its body, and the huge white jade body exploded from the inside in an instant, turning into white powder all over the sky and scattered in the wind!
Lin Qingyang looked at Cang Mo beside him. His originally pale face had recovered a lot, and the wounds on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of the demon power.
"Hahaha!" Bi Yue suddenly laughed maniacally again, "Interesting, but I underestimated you!"
As he spoke, several thick red vines covered with barbs on "Elder Chen"'s body were like poisonous snakes, carrying a fishy wind towards Lin Qingyang.
Cang Mo's expression sharpened, and his hands instantly turned into sharp and slender monster claws. With long-suppressed anger and violence, his body turned into a black afterimage and shot out towards the red vine!
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
The most primitive and barbaric tearing! Those red vines were like rotten wood under Cang Mo's sharp claws, being chopped into pieces in an instant. The blood puppets who tried to block him along the way were directly twisted into sawdust by the violent demonic energy that spilled out the moment they approached him!
In the blink of an eye, the black figure that looked like a murderous god had flashed in front of Bi Yue. Cang Mo did not summon Xiao Yue, but pointed his claws at the red-eyed crow, swung his sharp claws in the air, and flew out.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and black feathers scattered in all directions. The arrogant red-eyed crow didn't even have time to utter a scream, and turned into a blood mist and flying black feathers.
The body of "Elder Chen" who lost control of Bi Yue, stiffened for a moment, then fell to the ground with a "bang".
Jian Hong waved an airtight sword shadow, forcing the remaining puppets back.
Several people hurriedly caught up. Li Tian looked at Elder Chen's mangled body on the ground, his eyes a little sad. He knelt down, stretched out his hand and gently covered the old man's unblinking eyes, and helped him close them.
At this moment, the white jade wall behind him let out a violent and dull roar, and the formation finally overloaded and exploded.
With the destruction of the main formation, the surrounding blood puppets that were still hissing like crazy robots froze in place like robots whose power was cut off. The human skin and green clothes on their bodies quickly faded away, and in the blink of an eye they turned back into dull and stiff wooden figures.
But the crisis was not over. The small white jade building that had lost the support of the formation began to shake violently. The lake outside was rolling violently like boiling magma. The water surface made dull explosions from time to time, and sky-shattering water columns tens of feet high rushed up.
The originally lingering white mist in the sky was torn apart, replaced by tumbling black clouds. The wind was raging, and thick purple thunder was like a dancing electric snake crazily shuttling through the clouds. The entire Xuanji space showed a suffocating apocalyptic collapse.
"The walnuts are going to completely collapse!" Li Tian shouted loudly in the strong wind.
Su Jingui was so frightened that he hugged Yuzhu next to him and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What will happen if it collapses? Will we die inside!"
"I asked who is going!" Li Tian yelled back angrily, "No one in Tianxuan Pavilion has ever blown up this thing before!"
"Boom--!!!"
Another thunder struck, and the broken dome of the small white jade building suddenly collapsed, and everyone's figures were instantly submerged in the collapsing doomsday vortex.
