Chapter 861: Profound Punishment (II)
Western riverbank.
The river water rolled past, and the formation beneath his feet glowed brightly, preventing the spirit wind in the sky from crossing the riverbank. The demonic smoke moving south had no choice but to settle here, forcing a battle on the riverbank.
Li Xizhi lifted his rainbow light, dispersing the incoming spell art. He glanced downward. The surging devil cultivators were being held off by the formation. Most were blocked, but quite a few were searching for gaps, trying to slip around the edges of the formation.
The Azure Pond Sect’s formation hadn’t originally been designed to trap devil cultivators. It had been a strategic move between Purple Mansion Realm cultivators; a defensive measure rather than a complete blockade. After all, in their eyes, it was just a game of moves and countermoves between Purple Mansion Realm cultivators.
But the situation had changed dramatically. The devil cultivators had surged toward them as one. The formation was no longer enough, even though it left them trapped outside. Most of the devil cultivators coveted the treasures inside and, emboldened by their numbers, hurled spell arts at the formation rather than trying to bypass it. Still, quite a few devil cultivators found other ways to slip through the gaps between formations.
These were mostly Qi Cultivation and Embryonic Breathing Realms cultivators, and Li Xizhi paid them little mind. He was fighting four at once, blocking any Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from attempting to leap over, while still keeping an eye on the situation below.
Xushi’s light rippled in his hand as he slashed away a flying dharma artifact. Another figure landed before him, riding the wind, holding a large hammer in each hand, looking exceptionally fierce.
Now it’s no longer me blocking them. It’s these devil cultivators, greedy for the treasures and techniques I carry, who have surrounded me themselves... A thought flickered through Li Xizhi’s mind.
The Gold In Cloud transformed into a golden Heavenly Glow that leaped a few times in the air. He flicked his sleeve of Heavenly Glow, revealing his form and leaping out of the encirclement.
