BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Seeing the dire situation, Li Su handed the Green Cloud Mirror to the sect leader and made a decision. He launched a sudden attack, directing his Flying Immortal Swords at two weaker Golden Core stage demonic cultivators, catching them off guard and striking them down with deadly precision. Three others, further away, reacted quickly and were injured but survived. The Golden Core peak-stage cultivator retreated and narrowly escaped.
The Holy Maiden of Silent Moon’s expression turned murderous. She hadn’t anticipated such formidable resistance from Li Su and the Flying Immortal Sect’s leader. Despite her spiritual soul treasure’s attacks, the Nascent Soul cultivator managed to entangle her. Li Su’s unpredictable actions further confounded her. Initially targeting her spiritual soul treasure, he now attacked the Golden Core cultivators under her command.
The Holy Maiden of Silent Moon intensified her assault with countless magic needles, but the sect leader, holding the Green Cloud Mirror, deftly blocked them all. “Supreme-grade spiritual weapon!” the Holy Maiden deduced, realizing the mirror’s exceptional quality. Demonic cultivators often lacked skilled craftsmen, relying on plundered treasures and dark enchantments. Exceptions were rare, mainly found in larger demonic sects.
Meanwhile, Li Su continued to confront the remaining Golden Core demonic cultivators. Despite their efforts to gather and resist, they bore visible injuries and suffered greatly.
The Holy Maiden of Silent Moon could no longer restrain herself. The moon-shaped mark on her forehead glowed, and her demonic energy surged as she rapidly formed hand seals.
“Eight Forms of the Silent Moon.”
In an instant, a terrifying attack surged towards the sect leader. It appeared as if a silver moon had materialized in the sky, carrying the immense might of heaven and earth, crashing down with tremendous force.
The sect leader’s expression turned serious, and the Green Cloud Mirror emitted a brilliant light.
“Boom~”
The shockwave from their collision rippled through the surroundings.
“Now is the time!”
Seizing the opportunity amid this intense confrontation, Li Su didn’t hesitate. He swiftly deployed several formation flags he held, a method he devised to prevent the Holy Maiden of Silent Moon from detecting the Great Yan Sword Formation.
Deploying the Great Yan Sword Formation during battle was a last resort. It was better to set it up in advance and activate it as needed. However, setting it up beforehand risked the Holy Maiden detecting anomalies in the area due to her extensive spiritual awareness.
Li Su’s approach was to initially leave the Great Yan Sword Formation incomplete, ensuring its imperfections were purposeful and precise. He would figure out the critical points to establish in advance.
The Great Yan Sword Formation was already perfected as he deployed these formation flags. Li Su produced the formation disc and boldly initiated it. Around him, the formation curtain of the Great Yan Sword Formation began to rise rapidly.
As the Great Yan Sword Formation ascended, the defensive formations upheld by several flying boats above shattered swiftly.
“Formation!”
The Holy Maiden of Silent Moon, engrossed in a battle with the sect leader, immediately sensed it. This formation made her uneasy. She quickly dashed towards the outside, but the sect leader, without a word, launched another fierce attack.
The sect leader wielded four top-tier spiritual weapons she had not previously used, unleashing an immensely powerful strike. The Holy Maiden had to stop and defend herself with all her might.
Her formidable cultivation and magical techniques helped her fend off the attacks, but this brief delay allowed the Great Yan Sword Formation to take shape. The Holy Maiden and the demon cultivators she had brought were suddenly trapped.
Only a few of the demon cultivators on the periphery avoided being enclosed by the formation as the surroundings transformed. Almost simultaneously, Li Su and the sect leader seemed to vanish.
In the hazy surroundings, numerous ancient long swords materialized. These swords didn’t target the Holy Maiden of Silent Moon but the bells suspended in the sky.
The Holy Maiden acted swiftly, but she couldn’t prevent it this time. The ancient long swords destroyed many bells, filling the entire sword formation as if they were everywhere.
“At least it’s over!”
Li Su let out a long sigh. After the Great Yan Sword Formation was activated, the sound of the bells was no longer heard from outside. Yet, Li Su and the sect leader were now controlling the formation.
Although they had isolated themselves within the Great Yan Sword Formation, the soul technique used sound as a medium for transmission, making it impossible to block out the unsettling sensation when it attacked at close range.
But it was finally destroyed, and dozens of Great Yan Swords launched an assault on the Holy Maiden of Silent Moon.
Li Su whispered to the sect leader, “This Saintess is incredibly strong.”
Beside him, the sect leader nodded in agreement. The Holy Maiden of Silent Moon possessed exceptional strength and many treasures, although not top-tier spiritual weapons. Her collection included various life-saving and auxiliary items, such as talismans and runes, many of which seemed to have been plundered by the demon cultivators from various sources.
Despite her resources, the Holy Maiden of Silent Moon found herself in an incredibly challenging situation. The power of the Great Yan Sword Formation surpassed her expectations.
“Saintess, save us!” cried the other demon cultivators, but their pleas went unanswered as they perished in agony.
The Holy Maiden of Silent Moon did not heed their cries and instead focused on launching a secret technique. Li Su gripped the Purple Twilight Divine Thunder, and the sect leader’s true essence quivered once more.
A peculiar aura emerged within the formation as the silver moon on the Holy Maiden of Silent Moon’s forehead shone brightly. Her power surged, and she formed hand seals, launching an attack towards the Great Yan Sword Formation.
“Boom!”
The formidable formation, capable of entrapping even a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, trembled under her assault. The Holy Maiden immediately launched another attack, switching her treasures from offense to defense. With her increased power, their might rose once more. It would take some time for the Great Yan Swords to break through their defenses.
Li Su couldn’t help but exclaim, “How can this technique be so terrifying?” Even the sect leader struggled to counter the Holy Maiden’s might.
The Holy Maiden continued to fend off the sect leader and the sword formation while attacking the Great Yan Sword Formation to break through and escape.
“Master, come inside!” Li Su called out, deciding to be cautious. The sect leader didn’t insist and promptly returned to the inner space of the formation.
As soon as the sect leader was inside, Li Su tossed the Purple Twilight Divine Thunder into her hands. The Holy Maiden of Silent Moon sensed the impending danger but couldn’t evade it in time. She used all her true essence to protect herself as the terrifying thunder surged.
The Great Yan Sword Formation turned into a sea of thunder, temporarily disabling the Great Yan Swords. The Holy Maiden was submerged by the thunder, unable to evade as she focused solely on escaping and didn’t notice when these potent treasures enveloped her.
The thunder raged for some time before gradually diminishing in intensity. Li Su couldn’t help but regret using such a powerful item, but his primary concern was the outcome of the battle.
Upon inspection, Li Su saw that within the Great Yan Sword Formation, the Holy Maiden of Silent Moon had fallen to the ground and appeared unconscious. She had indeed suffered greatly. The Purple Twilight Divine Thunder shattered all her protective treasures, and her aura had weakened significantly.
At this moment, she seemed weaker than a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. If one were to appear now, they could easily capture her.
