After Chen Shuangbai had arranged everything, Ji Yang once again activated the great formation, used his Sword Escape Technique, and silently left the area.
Not long after.
He returned once more, carrying with him a Devil Cultivator cultivator stationed at Heart-Eroding Stronghold- Eater's Dock.
As night gradually fell.
" Senior Brother Chen, please do my best."
Chen Shuangbai nodded, carefully examined the man's appearance and physique, and secretly memorized them. Then, he formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation, and a wisp of white smoke appeared from his palm.
The white smoke seemed to be formed from condensed water vapor or gathered mist. It drifted and dispersed, and as if it had a mind of its own, it flew onto Ji Yang and circled around him.
When everyone came to their senses, they found that Ji Yang, who had been standing in the same spot, had disappeared, and in his place was a completely unfamiliar Devil Cultivator.
The " Devil Cultivator " touched his face, then looked at himself again through the water mirror conjured by Chen Shuangbai, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"No wonder the Jade Spring Sect has been able to firmly hold its position as the number one immortal Jing Kingdom."
The entire Empty Sword Sect is populated by sword cultivators.
To put it nicely, their combat strength is outstanding.
However, they are enemies of the Heart-Eroding Stronghold, who are skilled in using various insects, beasts, and poisonous miasma. As a result, three or four out of ten of their strength has been lost, making it a situation where they are mutually restrained.
In addition.
Currently, the Empty Sword Sect has only one Golden Core cultivator, while the Heart-Eroding Stronghold has two.
Naturally, there are many constraints.
These thoughts flashed through Ji Yang's mind. He raised his hand, cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Shuangbai and the other two, and after casting a spell on himself and obtaining the [ Mystic Water Wave-Stilling Mirror ], he took the five fire pills and once again lifted the great formation, disappearing into the vast night.
After seeing him leave, the others began to do their own things.
Chen Shuangbai continued to cast spells on the three of them. Wang Tongfang and Lin Jingtao then cupped their hands and made their way up the highest cliff facing the entrance to the Insect Miasma Ridge.
Chen Shuangbai then cast another Hand Seals, summoning a wisp of white smoke that circled around him before disappearing completely.
He has gained some Mirage Illusory Scene " he acquired half a year ago. Not only can it help others change their appearance, but it can also make his own appearance disappear from other people's sight for a short time.
Chen Shuangbai deactivated the formation and sneaked over under the cover of night.
The Devil Cultivator of Insect Miasma Ridge, fearing that someone might sneak up on them, had cut down all the trees at the two entrances, revealing large open areas where many insects and beasts wandered around, dripping foul-smelling saliva.
Chen Shuangbai did not get too close, but instead used the mystery of his " Mirage Illusory Scene " to hide at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
After about three incense sticks had burned.
Suddenly, a fierce burst of flames erupted from the distant, heavy mountain range. The fire was so violent that it shot into the sky, churning up the thick soil and sending up countless rocks, along with chunks of charred, unidentified flesh, engulfed in flames, turning most of the mountain range into a sea of fire.
Immediately following were the mournful roars of insects and beasts, interspersed with human voices, seemingly cursing.
Chen Shuangbai knew.
Ji Yang has succeeded.
then.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the raging fire. Although he looked quite disheveled, only a large part of his robes were burned off, while his body was intact. On his head was a black bronze mirror that emitted a watery glow, blocking the raging fire and the venom spewed by the insects and beasts.
It's Ji Yang!
Behind him, many surviving insect beasts also discovered the intruder and roared and hissed. Several powerful Devil Cultivator in the Late Qi Refining Stage also used various methods to try to knock him down.
Chen Shuangbai knew she had to do it herself.
With a thought, a dark blue sword light leaped from his waist, followed by a cyan sword light. The two lights merged, creating a dazzling display of light that chased the clouds and the sun – the Cold Spring and Green Parasol swords.
The two swords combined, like a ferocious blue dragon baring its fangs and a lurking green snake, easily catching up with Ji Yang and slashing down at the two Devil Cultivator who were closest to him.
One of the two Devil Cultivator, upon seeing the two sword lights, was first stunned, then flew into a rage, shouting angrily, "So it really is you bunch of sword madmen!"
"Today, I will make sure you never leave alive!"
He cursed angrily, and with a flick of his wrist, a large white bone hammer appeared, adorned with several skulls and flickering with eerie blue flames, making it a truly terrifying sight.
The man picked up the large white bone hammer and slammed it down towards the dark blue sword light.
But the azure sword light seemed to possess sentience; it leaped into the air, dodging his powerful strike, and in his astonished gaze, it pierced straight out of his right eye, bringing with it a large patch of red and yellow substance.
Immediately afterward, the man's body fell from the sky and shattered into pieces.
"Ah?!"
The Devil Cultivator was closely following Ji Yang was immediately horrified upon seeing this scene.
But at that moment, a bright blue light suddenly appeared not far away. With a buzzing sound, an arrow wrapped in spiraling water flow came whistling through the air, carrying immense force, and forcefully knocked a Late Qi Refining Stage Devil Cultivator cultivator to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
"There are more experts?"
The remaining few were immediately terrified and dared not fight alone. They hurriedly gathered the insect beasts around them, which made them feel a little more at ease. They then attacked Ji Yang and Chen Shuangbai together.
Meanwhile, in the distance, where the azure light resounded, many insect beasts and Devil Cultivator also rushed there.
Before long, a series of loud bangs rang out.
But the azure water arrows continued to shoot forth, plowing through the insects, beasts, and Devil Cultivator on the ground time and again, making the low-level Devil Cultivator even more terrified.
Chen Shuangbai had already arrived close and was about to join forces with the Kong Jian cultivator who was burning the insect pit, so that they could support each other.
Seeing this, the remaining few Late Qi Refining Stage Devil Cultivator realized something was wrong and hurriedly manipulated their insect beasts to attack. Furthermore, Law Artifact of sinister white bone or Resentful Blood Law Artifact moved under the cover of the insect swarm, intending to pin Chen Shuangbai and Ji Yang to death here.
Seeing this, Chen Shuangbai no longer held back. With a flick of his hand, a bolt of dark blue lightning shot out, leaving a white line stretching for dozens of feet. It struck the swooping insect beast and another Late Qi Refining Stage Devil Cultivator to the ground, knocking them to their deaths.
" Thunder Method?"
In the meantime, the two had already reunited.
Aside from his damaged robes, Ji Yang was only slightly injured, but his Law Power was still plentiful. He couldn't help but laugh heartily and said, "Senior brother, I haven't let you down!"
Chen Shuangbai laughed and said, "Let's go!"
Immediately.
He unleashed another bolt of Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder, instantly killing or blasting most of the insect beasts that surged forth behind him. Then, riding on Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch, he fled, while two sword lights surrounded and killed the pursuing Devil Cultivator below. Finally, he joined up with Lin Jingtao and the other two and left.
