Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 1561: Chapter 1561: Sky-covering Water Formation

Bam!

Amidst the splashing water, the dignified Heavenly Realm Early Stage expert, the second-ranked Master Xuanyin, Xue Tianao, was actually blasted back by the seemingly not so powerful water column for over ten zhang.

"This..."

Witnessing this scene, many cultivators were dumbfounded, even like Duan Zixiao and Zhao Gujin, leaders of first-class forces, looked horrified. That was an Early Stage Heavenly Realm expert, yet he was knocked back over ten zhang with one strike?

"It seems that this You River is at least at the level of an Intermediate Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit, and with the aid of the array, it’s hard even for Master Xue to get near him!"

The Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect, Ouyang Wantong’s face was also quite unsightly, but fortunately, this result was already within his expectations, so he wasn’t too surprised.

Since the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River set the battleground on this Stepping Heaven Stone, how could he not be prepared? After all, on the human side, besides Xue Tianao, there is also Lu Yanji, who is in the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Realm.

Facing Lu Yanji at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Realm, the Intermediate Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit would not be too afraid, but nonetheless, You River is alone. If many human experts attack together, he would be in great trouble.

So You River must have arrived here early and used those array formation inheritances to set up a special large array around Stepping Heaven Stone.

With such a powerful combination and the defenses and attacks of the array, Xue Tianao, an expert at the initial stage of the Heavenly Realm, really couldn’t do much.

"Sect Leader, look, President Lu and the others are here!"

Just as Ouyang Wantong’s face looked grim, he suddenly heard a voice of surprise by his ear, it was from the Second Elder Wu Yingjiang, which made him turn his head immediately.

In the southwestern sky, several figures approached in the air. The one leading was full of immortal demeanor with a rosy complexion, it was the President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, the number one on the Heavenly List, Lu Yanji.

Beside him were Vice President Qian Sanyuan and the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute, Qingmu Wu, both of whom were prominent Heavenly Rank experts on the Tenglong Continent.

And when everyone saw another figure emitting a fire attribute aura, their expressions became complicated, because it was Wu Zhukong, the former Palace Master of Wuyan Palace!

Previously, according to Shenxiao Sect’s intelligence, it was thought that after a great battle at Lianyun Mountain, Wuyan Palace would be left with none, only to find out Yun Xiao had taken Wu Zhukong as a servant, shining brightly during the battle at Demons Mountain.

To be able to take a Heavenly Realm Early Stage expert as a servant, one can imagine how mysterious that young man’s methods are, especially since as far as they know, Yun Xiao has not yet broken through to the Heavenly Realm.

Whoosh!

As thoughts raced through everyone’s mind, a flash of white shadow was seen. A snow-white pegasus with wings directly flew through the air, heading towards several major experts of Demons Mountain.

"That’s Red-dressed Immortal Xu Hongzhuang of Demons Mountain!"

One sharp-eyed person exclaimed, and upon hearing this name, many people became pensive, with the image of a figure carrying a wooden sword in coarse clothes emerging in their minds.

It was rumored that Red-dressed Immortal of Demons Mountain and the Meridian Refining Master Association’s remarkable genius had a marriage contract, and perhaps it won’t be long before she becomes Yun Xiao’s wife.

These ordinary cultivators, only knowing a fragment of the truth, instinctively believed this story, thinking that Yun Xiao might care more for Xu Hongzhuang than other female friends.

"Teacher!"

Upon seeing her teacher Hou Tianlie again, Xu Hongzhuang softly uttered, her eyes reddening, leaving the Master of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain somewhat baffled.

"What’s the matter, Hongzhuang?"

Hou Tianlie cherished and valued this treasured disciple greatly, but he also knew that with Xu Hongzhuang’s current strength, there were probably not many on the entire Tenglong Continent who could bully her.

"Isn’t it that boy Yun Xiao, making Sister Hongzhuang..."

"Xue’er, don’t say it!"

Just as Snow Stepping Flying Horse, full of discontent, wished to complain about Yun Xiao in front of the Mountain Master, Xu Hongzhuang directly interjected, her voice even containing a trace of anger.

Seeing Xu Hongzhuang showing signs of anger, even the daring Xue’er didn’t want to upset her red-dressed sister, so ultimately she kept silent.

"So it’s this tangled emotional debt again!"

Even before Hou Tianlie saw Yun Xiao’s figure, he had already guessed it, and knowing their experience on the Hidden Dragon Continent, he sighed inwardly.

Such matters of the heart, even Hou Tianlie, a Late Stage Lingyun Realm super expert, felt helpless, not to mention that Yun Xiao, with his current strength, may not be easy to deal with.

"Let’s focus on how to deal with that Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit first!"

Embarrassed by her teacher’s peculiar gaze, Xu Hongzhuang quickly changed the subject. Meanwhile, Xue Tianao, who had been knocked back over ten zhang, had already flown to Lu Yanji’s side.

"Elder Lu, that demon has set up a Water Attribute large array. I can’t break it with my strength alone. It seems we’ll have to try working together!"

Xue Tianao showed the respect of a junior in front of Lu Yanji. However, upon hearing his words, a gleam of sharp light flashed in Lu Yanji’s old eyes.

"Just as I suspected, that guy was prepared all along!"

Looking at the rushing water curtain, Lu Yanji did not refuse Xue Tianao’s suggestion. If they could kill that Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit here in advance, it would certainly save a lot of trouble.

"Old human guys, I advise you not to waste your efforts. My ’Sky-covering Water Formation’ can’t be broken by the likes of you two, at the Early Middle Stage of the Heavenly Realm!"

Seeing the actions of Lu Yanji and Xue Tianao, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He, suspended on the Stepping Heavenly Stone, couldn’t help but let out a sardonic voice, causing many cultivators’ hearts to sink.

These human cultivators indeed held quite a bit of confidence in Lu Yanji, but they had also witnessed Xue Tianao’s previous encounter, so they were not absolutely sure that these two, working together, could truly break the so-called Sky-covering Water Formation.

Disregarding You He’s ridicule, Lu Yanji and Xue Tianao moved their bodies slightly and instantly stood before the water curtain.

Boom!

A stronger Yin Cold Qi than before suddenly erupted from Xue Tianao’s body, and sensing the aura among it, many leaders of the first-class forces were deep in thought.

"This aura seems like Master Xue is about to use the Xuantian Finger!"

Ouyang Wuantong, the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, murmured. With Shenxiao Sect’s intelligence network, they naturally knew about the Xuanyin Hall’s special Heaven Rank Meridian Technique, the Xuantian Finger.

Even Wu Zhukong, the Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, had suffered a significant loss under Xue Tianao’s Xuantian Finger, almost capsizing in the ditch.

Whish... Whish...

As for Lu Yanji, President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, at this moment, a wisp of black fog emerged from both his hands. Even Ouyang Wuantong couldn’t recognize this black fog.

"It’s President Lu’s Black Wood Qi!"

It was Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu, the two major experts from Lianyun Mountain, who had learned the details of the Black Wood Qi from Yun Xiao, who recognized it immediately.

"Not only is it Black Wood Qi, but also Yuan Ming Spider Poison. It seems our President Lu has employed some unknown tricks as well!"

Qingmu Wu, being a Poison Vein Master, naturally had a deeper sensitivity to poisons. When he saw a slight green tint among the black fog, he couldn’t help but speak softly.

Even though Qingmu Wu was already an Intermediate Level Heavenly Rank Poison Vein Master, he was quite afraid of President Lu’s Yuan Ming Spider Poison, believing that if he wasn’t careful, it would still be extremely troublesome for him.

As Qingmu Wu mentioned, at this moment, the technique Lu Yanji displayed appeared to be the normal Black Wood Qi on the surface, but it was the hidden Yuan Ming Spider Poison that was the true assassin’s move.

Even if it couldn’t greatly affect the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He, at least he believed it should be sufficient to break this water curtain array.

Thump! Thump!

In the next moment, Xue Tianao’s Xuantian Finger and Lu Yanji’s combined attack of Black Wood Qi and Yuan Ming Spider Poison simultaneously struck the water curtain, producing two strange sounds.

Crash! Crash!

At the same time, two water columns emerged, just as when they had previously blasted Xue Tianao away. However, could these water columns now blast away the already Middle Stage Heavenly Realm Lu Yanji?

The facts proved: Yes, they could!

The originally confident Lu Yanji suddenly felt an immense force coming at him, making him unable to activate the Yuan Ming Spider Poison in time, and he wanted to dodge swiftly.

Bang!

But even with such a fast reaction speed, the water column still struck fiercely against Lu Yanji’s chest, and then the two figures flew out once more, causing the faces of all the human cultivators to turn somewhat unpleasant.

It was obvious that Lu Yanji and Xue Tianao’s joint attempt to break the array had failed. Although they promptly neutralized the Dark Force within the water columns and were not injured, it indirectly showed the formidable defensive power of the so-called Sky-covering Water Formation.

Moreover, the Sky-covering Water Formation seemed not merely defensive; once someone tried to break it, water columns of flow would strike out, preventing the enemy from fully concentrating on breaking the array, truly formidable to the extreme.

"Judging by the power of that Water Formation, even adding another Wu Zhukong might not be enough to break it!"

As Lu Yanji steadied himself, his face turned uncertain. Although they had another Early Stage Heavenly Realm Wu Zhukong on their side, he admitted that even with the combined strength of three people, it would just be futile.

"Elder Lu, it seems you’ve encountered some difficulty, do you need my help?"

Just as everyone was focused on Lu Yanji and Xue Tianao, unsure how to break that Sky-covering Water Formation, a cheerful voice suddenly echoed from the southwest horizon, causing everyone’s hearts to stir as they collectively turned their gaze toward it.
