Chapter 1096: A Scene Of Ruin (I)
The roar thundered through the air, muffled like thunder before a storm, and the cultivators battling over the river all faltered in the same moment.
The first to look up was Cui Jueyin. He wielded the Everbright Platform, an Immortal Foundation of the Bright Yang Dao that bound and pulled. As a direct descendant of Chongzhou, he commanded the heavenly light Chongzhou had studied for centuries. Not even Li Zhouwei could rival him in the art of controlling heavenly light.
Radiance streamed from his sleeves, dazzling, scorching, pushing and pulling as he toyed with the four before him. None of them could even touch the hem of his robe. He alone remained uninjured among the Li Family cultivators.
Cui Jueyin's face had remained calm as still water, yet the roar struck his ears like a thunderclap, and the heavenly light in his grasp nearly slipped away. He looked up sharply and saw the white scales rising flake by flake along Li Zhouwei's neck.
"Ah?"
His expression grew complicated as he unconsciously took a step forward. When he stopped himself, his heavenly light loosened for a brief moment. An enemy guest cultivator seized the opening and swept the light aside to close in. Cui Jueyin reacted swiftly, shifting his footwork to dissolve the attack, but his movements grew tighter as he was drawn back into bitter combat.
Guan Kan's skull was facing forward as the ground beneath him split open and rivers surged out, gurgling as pale black Pit Water flowed. Li Zhouwei's gaze lingered briefly on his figure, and the scaled neck made a strange swallowing motion.
In the next instant, he vanished from where he stood, ripples of heavenly light spreading as he reappeared before Guan Gongxiao. The blood-red lines in his eyes and the white scales on his neck had vanished, leaving only a face covered in wounds.
Guan Gongxiao, however, was desperately driving his spell art, crimson light flashing as his cry for help still echoed in the air, "Come quickly to my aid!"
The cry rang out, and the fierce formation of the Capital Immortal Dao immediately fell into disarray. People tried to break free and rush over from all directions. The guest cultivators, elders, direct descendants all showed signs of coming to his aid. Li Zhouwei thrust his halberd with all his strength, shattering the crimson light Guan Gongxiao spewed, and heard a deep shout roll across the sky.
