Chapter 816: The Fall of Mount Yan Pass (I)
Mount Yan Pass.
Dense demonic qi surged across the ruins. The ground was dim and soaked in blood. The once radiant formation was now in tatters, with only faint glimmers of formation lines flickering intermittently on exposed stones.
The reek of blood filled the air, demonic smoke soared into the sky, and not a trace of immortal light could be seen. Cries of battle and the clash of dharma artifacts echoed across the land. Thick black clouds spread for nearly fifty kilometers as it rushed southward.
Zhao Tinggui sped through the air atop a small golden cloud, a white jade lantern in his hands radiating multicolored light. Each time the golden cloud tried to accelerate, streaks of violet light shot out from the layers of demonic clouds. The white jade lantern in his hand would immediately emit colorful rays to block them, leaving behind crackling and shattering sounds.
Zhao Tinggui’s dharma artifact was indeed impressive to shield him from the violet rays. But even as those rays were shattered, a wave of white radiance would fall on him. Just as the golden light beneath his feet would start to rise, it would be dimmed again by the white glow.
Boom!
The streaks of violet light seemed never ending, leaving Zhao Tinggui’s face pale and ashen. His refined junior martial brother, dressed in brocade robes, remained calm and composed even in danger as he said, “Senior brother... this Murong Gong is overwhelmingly powerful... I fear we are no match for him!”
Zhao Tinggui’s expression was grim, and his heart had long since turned cold. His usually polished and smiling face was now slightly pale, with traces of blood at the corners of his lips.
“Tang Shedu... Tang Shedu...”
Zhao Tinggui knew Tu Longjian had broken through and expected difficult times ahead for him, but he truly hadn’t imagined that Tang Shedu would defect from the Azure Pond Sect overnight and join the enemy, ruining the entire strategic situation.
The defection had caused the front lines to collapse like a landslide. Li Xuanfeng was exceptionally strong, so he might yet escape with his life, but the rest likely had no more than one in ten chance of survival. Zhao Tinggui’s heart turned to ice.
