This aura seems to have traveled from the barbaric era, carrying a piece of history from the past, and reappearing in the world.
A sudden sense of surprise rose in Chen Yuping's heart, but at this moment she was completely focused on the battle and had not yet had time to investigate clearly. She only felt one muffled sound after another coming from the other side.
Her raindrops shattered into fragments in front of a curtain wall, and her Power of Laws seemed to be suppressed by an energy force, no longer displaying its might in front of Xu Long's curtain wall.
At this moment, Xu Long could no longer hold back. A slowly rotating array appeared above his head, and the raindrops in front of him were no longer a threat. A glint flashed in his eyes, and the World-Breaking Blade was about to return.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yuping's heart sank. She knew that if she didn't take advantage of the moment when the sword light lost its offensive power to kill Xu Long, then Xu Long would definitely use the sword light to kill her in return after he was freed from the threat of Yuhua.
Chen Yuping was amazed by the opponent's endless tricks. These ever-forming walls of defense were the best defense, instantly putting her attacking raindrops at a disadvantage.
But at this moment, she had no time to consider anything else. The sword light was clearly meant to break through the swirling clouds and rain. When the raindrops stopped falling, Xu Long had no way to defend himself. At this moment, the sword light would inevitably burst forth with sharpness and shatter her.
A dharma Dharma Body of Earth Immortal is also an extremely rare combat power, Chen Yuping is able to cultivate this dharma Dharma Body due to her own special characteristics.
At this moment, she was about to be annihilated by the sword light. Even though she was the Dharma Body of a powerful being, she was still somewhat shocked and angry when facing Xu Long.
The tide of battle was turned in an instant by Xu Long Xu Long; the advantages and disadvantages were changed in a flash.
She thought she had everything planned out and that everyone was under her control, but she never expected that her battle with Xu Long would completely deprive her of the right to control the situation.
The clouds and rain gathering in the sky were already locked onto by the sword light. A resolute feeling rose in Chen Yuping's heart. She continuously compressed a burst of energy within the vortex of clouds and rain, determined to make a final struggle under the sword light.
Raindrops still shattered before the curtain wall, the laws of nature still manifested between heaven and earth, and a cold glint swept in from behind the clouds and rain, slashing fiercely.
A rumbling sound echoed through the city, causing it to shake violently beneath our feet. A plume of dust rose from the vast yellow sand, and immense energy was released from within the city.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and for a moment the atmosphere in the room became somewhat eerie.
"Run!"
A furious roar suddenly rang out from the crowd after the sword light fell into the city.
Then, a streak of light flashed through the smoke and dust, and a bolt of lightning lit up the curtain wall beneath the array. A gust of wind suddenly swept through the city, as if something was fleeing at high speed.
Chen Yuping was deeply shaken. The roar was clearly filled with surging energy, and when it was emitted, it seemed to churn in everyone's minds like sound waves.
The incoming sword light did not seize the opportunity to annihilate Yun Yu, but instead crashed heavily into the city. Xu Long seemed to sense something and, just before deciding to annihilate Chen Yuping, abruptly changed the trajectory of the sword light.
He focused his sword attack inside the city, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and swiftly swept across the city center, heading towards the walled city.
Chen Yuping was startled. What was this guy's order from above? Why would he flee when he had such overwhelming advantage?
Taking advantage of Xu Long's escape, she quickly gathered the raindrops, finally concentrating her power amidst the clouds and rain. Then, she extended her divine sense and seemed to detect something in a cloud of dust behind her.
The scattered raindrops froze instantly, layer upon layer covering him. Branch Master Chen was greatly shocked. No wonder Xu Long fled so desperately; what was inside the city was...
Ma Fang and her group visibly changed their expressions after hearing Xu Long's roar; they knew that Xu Long was definitely saying those words to them.
Qi Qi turned to look at Deng Shouchong, who was holding the imperial banner Deng Shouchong had clearly heard Xu Long's roar, and he nodded knowingly when he turned his back to Ma Fang and his group.
Then, with a fierce expression, he channeled a surge of Magic Power into his palm, and the banner in the sky instantly burst forth with layers of precious light, illuminating the black whisk below.
"Hurry up!"
With his back to Ma Fang and his group, Deng Shouchong roared furiously, his face contorted with rage. The black whisk within the precious light exerted immense pressure on him.
Upon hearing Deng Shouchong's call, Ma Fang and his group were all invigorated. They quickly rallied their forces, banded together, and desperately tried to break through the encirclement.
At this moment, Yuan Changwu's expression changed several times within the enclosure. He naturally noticed the unusual behavior of Deng Shouchong and his group. Xu Long's angry roar had startled him awake, and Deng Shouchong's angry roar had put him on alert.
Seeing Deng Shouchong's ferocious face, he clearly sensed that something big was about to happen. Even Deng Shouchong temporarily put aside his grudges and was determined to withstand his offensive to buy time for Ma Fang and his group to escape.
He was born with keen senses and a precognitive awareness of danger. At this moment, amidst the smoke and dust inside the city, he seemed to sense something dangerous approaching.
Yuan Changwu's heart sank, and a flash of lightning in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. He looked at Deng Shouchong, whose face was contorted with rage, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. His sinister eyes were filled with a look of struggle.
Watching Xu Long and his group desperately fleeing, he actually looked towards the interior of the city, and in his heart he roared: Danger lies inside the city, and so does opportunity!
"Come at me!"
Yuan Changwu coldly greeted the assembled great cultivators, then waved his hand, and the black whisk withdrew beneath the Dharma banner. With two "whoosh" sounds, the fine hairs on the whisk suddenly grew dozens of feet long and shot straight into the city.
From the air, it looked like a black ribbon being drawn back, exuding an inexplicable aura even in the smallest details.
After the whisk displayed its power, Yuan Changwu gave Deng Shouchong a deep look, then coldly snorted and his figure disappeared directly into the whisk. His body seemed to become one with a bolt of silk, standing out prominently in a Power of Laws.
Deng Shouchong clearly noticed Yuan Changwu's unusual behavior, but he couldn't care less about Yuan Changwu at this moment. The danger in the city was right behind him. If Yuan Changwu wanted to go and die, then he could go by himself!
With a wave of his hand, the Dharma Banner instantly shrank to the palm of his hand. Ma Fang and his group bypassed Yuan Changwu and the other great cultivators, and gathered together in the urn. A flash of lightning appeared in the eyes of Deng Shouchong and the others. The old cunning man had already arrived in front of them.
Goodness, this time they finally got to the front!
Seeing Xu Long's figure flash by, Deng Shouchong and the others immediately understood the terrifying thing behind them. Even the formidable Xu Long was fleeing for his life, so what were they waiting for?
They lined up in a row within the enclosure, their figures flashing like lightning as they followed Xu Long.
They had been cautious and slow in their approach to the city, but now they didn't care about such things anymore. They simply found a path through the ruins and passed by in a flash of light.
Following closely behind Xu Long, Chen Yuping continued on her way. Since entering the city, this powerful Earth Immortal's Dharma Body had been experiencing three shocks a day.
Sensing the energy core within the city was a startling experience; feeling Xu Long's formidable combat power was a second startling experience; and sensing a profound sense of crisis within the city was a third startling experience.
At this moment, she naturally saw Yuan Changwu going against the tide. While everyone was fleeing for their lives, Yuan Changwu was actually leading a group of powerful cultivators against the tide, heading towards the interior of the city. This was truly astonishing.
Upon witnessing these two signs, Chen Yuping, who possessed the experience of Earth Immortal, suddenly felt that her knowledge was insufficient.
Her gaze lingered for a long time on Yuan Changwu, who was advancing, and Deng Shouchong, who was fleeing. The usually decisive Branch Master Chen was still unable to make up his mind about what to do.
The actions of these two people completely baffled Branch Master Chen.
Normally, if Yuan Changwu acted unusually, Branch Master Chen would definitely follow him to investigate and try to sabotage Yuan Changwu plans. But in this crisis, the Chief instantly lost her courage; she was still hesitant.
Hissing sounds echoed through the smoke and dust, as one after another, azure figures appeared and disappeared in the dust, accompanied by the sound of countless scales scraping against the ground.
The thing in the smoke and dust finally reacted, sending a danger signal to the group in the field. Blue scales covered the interior of the city, and rustling sounds echoed in their minds.
A blue river emerged from within the city, churning with blue waves. Countless giant blue pythons surged within it, coiling together and heading towards the center of the city.
The countless giant pythons surged like a flowing blue river, but within the river came endless hissing sounds. When these sounds came together, they resembled eerie signals, conveying information to each other within the blue river.
Behind the countless giant blue pythons, there stood a Human Python standing upright, coldly observing the crowd ahead through the countless pythons.
A flash of resentment crossed her emerald eyes, as if she were recalling something.
Her long, snake-like forked tongue flashed out in an instant, catching the traces left behind by everyone in the air. Looking behind the wall, a strange light flashed in her blue eyes.
Countless giant blue pythons roamed ahead, bursting forth like a floodgate being opened within the city, with an aura as powerful as a landslide, instantly submerging countless broken walls and ruins beneath the blue river.
The snake's forked tongue flickered, constantly catching up on the remaining information in the air. Yuan Changwu and his group, who remained in the area, were instantly locked onto. Under this imposing aura, Chen Yuping immediately abandoned her idea.
It's Mist Beast!
A group of Mist Beast has gathered inside the city!
Upon seeing this, she was finally shocked. No wonder Xu Long had turned into a beam of light and fled. No wonder Deng Shouchong and the others had fled at all costs. This abandoned city was actually hiding a group of Mist Beast!
Seeing the endless Mist Beast attacking, Branch Master Chen instantly transformed into a wisp of water vapor and, like Xu Long, sped away towards the outside of the city.
The blue river behind them was still moving, and the swirling scales made a rustling sound on the ground, like a rushing river engulfing the crowd.
At this moment, Yuan Changwu finally stopped his advance, and the black ribbon instantly transformed into a whisk in the air.
He looked up at the interior of the city, which appeared as an insignificant grain of sand in the rolling blue river, about to be swallowed up by the surging current.
When Yuan Changwu stopped, he immediately saw the upright Human Python. A hint of joy flashed in his sinister eyes. His long-awaited hope had finally come to fruition today!
Then, when his gaze fell upon a flowing blue river in front of the Human Python, his heart sank, and the gloom in his eyes momentarily overshadowed his joy. He instantly realized that he had miscalculated.
He rushed to the city, but still failed to seize the best opportunity. Before the rolling blue river, his face showed constant struggle, and he stood still for a long time.
The powerful cultivators behind him had already changed color, but under Yuan Changwu's long-standing prestige, they managed not to mutiny or flee, though the struggle on their faces betrayed them.
Am I supposed to give up now?! That brat Deng Shouchong's mockery, his contempt in Phoenix City, his aura of superiority over my elder brother!
Am I to endure this forever? I, Yuan Changwu, am exceptionally talented, yet I have been stuck at the Lesser Immortal Realm for far too long. Is my path to immortality destined to end here? I refuse to accept this today!
"Please give it a try first. If you fail, you may leave. If you succeed, our Pill Cauldron Sect will reward you with a great elixir!"
Yuan Changwu clearly sensed the fear in everyone's hearts, but he was also extremely unwilling to retreat. However, given the current situation, he could not afford to fight alone.
As the saying goes, "A great reward will surely bring forth brave men," he calmed his expression and spoke in a deep voice to the crowd behind him.
The sinister look in his eyes had turned into determination, and the struggle on his face had turned into a grim expression. He was determined not to compromise. Although this was not his best opportunity, it was his closest chance!
Having been stuck in the Lesser Immortal Realm for a long time, everything he had endured had become his inner demons. To break through all of this, he had to use his own strength, and breaking through to the Immortal Realm would be the best proof!
His gaze was fixed on the upright Human Python behind the blue river, which was his ultimate goal. He had searched for a long time in the vast yellow sand and finally arrived here. Although it was not the best time, he still wanted to give it a try!
With that thought in mind, he took the first step, his black whisk swirling in his hand, instantly revealing a striking black streak in the blue river.
"I'm willing to go with you, Second Master!"
Exhilarating voices rang out, and the crowd behind them perked up upon hearing Yuan Changwu's promise of a generous reward. The promises of the Pill Cauldron Sect were always powerful, and with Yuan Changwu's assurance, some finally followed in his footsteps.
Seeing the approaching cultivators, a hint of disdain flashed in the upright Human Python's emerald eyes. It naturally sensed Yuan Changwu's murderous intent, but now, in the cyan river, it was like an uncrowned king, so why would it fear the attack of some hot-headed cultivators!
A hissing sound echoed through the city as a black ribbon suddenly parted in the blue river, the two contrasting colors standing out sharply in the city.
