Chapter 1274: Chapter 1274: Luring the Snake Out
Yang Yan was just about to speak when Sect Leader He of the Lingying Sect could no longer stand it.
He immediately stepped forward to rebut and angrily chastised the Golden Core expert, "What kind of thing are you, daring to question the Lingying Sect’s Sect-Guarding Formation!"
"Our Lingying Sect’s formation has been passed down from the Ancient Era, having slain countless Golden Core experts, and even quite a few Nascent Soul experts. What qualifications do you have to question the Nine Heavens Star Formation?"
The scar-faced middle-aged man, realizing he had inadvertently angered Sect Leader He of the Lingying Sect, was so frightened that his body trembled.
Sect Leader He’s reputation had long since become legendary on Wandering Dragon Star, and his strength was among the top on Dragon Star.
Having just entered the Golden Core Realm and having no sect as support, he was simply worlds apart compared to Sect Leader He.
Moreover, the Lingying Sect, as the only sect on Wandering Dragon Star to have inherited from ancient times, possessed a sect-guarding formation whose power was unfathomable.
Thus, the scar-faced man quickly said, "It was I, the insignificant one, who failed to recognize greatness, unaware it was Lingying Sect’s Sect-Guarding Formation. I beg Sect Leader He for forgiveness."
Sect Leader He snorted coldly, ignoring the scar-faced man.
At this moment, Yang Yan also hurriedly said, "Since all fellow Daoists know the power of the Nine Heavens Star Formation, let’s proceed with our action!"
Everyone quickly stood up, cupping their fists and said, "We await the alliance leader’s command!"
Having received everyone’s promise, Yang Yan immediately went to find the hiding place of the Evil Spirits.
After three days of searching, he finally found the hiding place of Xu Caomu and the others.
They were actually at the Sword Sect’s mountain gate, ready to take action at an opportune moment.
Yang Yan revealed his form, standing proudly in the sky, directly shouting with spiritual power, "Xu the Dog, come out quickly, today I will end you all."
Xu Caomu was furious.
As a sect leader, when had anyone dared to speak to him in such a manner?
In a fit of rage, without thinking much, he flew out of the great hall and shouted at Yang Yan in anger, "You little bastard, you seek death."
Before the words finished, Yang Yan took advantage of his distraction, using his strongest move—the Heavenly Fury Life and Death Sword.
This move combined all his spiritual power and his Great Success Sword Intent, delivering a heavy blow to Xu Caomu.
Xu Caomu’s clothes were slashed to pieces by the Sword Intent, revealing numerous scars on his body, with several penetrating wounds.
This injury made Xu Caomu furious beyond measure, trembling all over.
Xu Caomu shouted angrily, "Such audacity! Today, either you or I must die!"
Seizing the moment when Xu Caomu was angry, Yang Yan quickly used a Top-grade Spirit Recovery Pill to restore his spiritual power, instantly recovering all of it.
At this time, Xu Caomu’s sword was already swiftly stabbing towards Yang Yan.
Yang Yan, not lingering in battle, quickly flew towards the Ancient Abyss Sect, provocatively taunting Xu Caomu, "Xu the Dog, if you have the guts, come on."
Xu Caomu was thoroughly enraged, shouting, "You seek death, today I must kill you to eliminate my heart’s hatred!"
Yang Yan laughed joyfully.
Great!
It actually succeeded just like this.
Xu the Dog, today is your death day!
Before long, Yang Yan arrived at the Ancient Abyss Sect.
Xu Caomu was hot on his heels, nearly catching up to kill him.
Seeing this, everyone quickly activated the formation, enveloping Xu Caomu.
As soon as the formation activated, the spiritual power within a thousand miles crazily surged into it, changing the color of the heavens and earth.
The Nine Heavens Star Formation was indeed renowned.
Everyone was overjoyed, thinking this time they might surely eliminate the Evil Spirits, restoring peace and prosperity to Wandering Dragon Star, without having to live in fear anymore.
Thus, no one had the intention to hide their strength anymore, increasingly putting effort into activating the formation, intending to suppress Xu Caomu in one fell swoop.
This Nine Heavens Star Formation was a famous killing array from the ancient times on Wandering Dragon Star, possessing immense power.
Its greatest benefit was its ability to redirect attacks, using another’s strength to counter them, with boundless power.
However, when the attack exceeds a certain limit, it would lose efficacy.
And this limit is determined by the cultivation level of the people controlling the array.
Even so, for a cultivator like Xu Caomu at the Golden Core realm, the power was already immense.
As soon as Xu Caomu entered the array, he felt a tremendous pressure, instantly calming down from his rage, starting to think of a way out.
As the sword sect’s sect leader on Wandering Dragon Star, well-traveled and knowledgeable, he was also quite clear about the prowess of the Lingying Sect’s Nine Heavens Star Formation.
However, the people of the Wandering Dragon Alliance would not give him a moment to think, immediately exerting full force in activating the array, intending to suppress Xu Caomu in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Wang Bingye and others also arrived with the Evil Spirit army.
Seeing Xu Caomu trapped in the array, they were anxious, shouting loudly, "You rats, stop the array immediately and let Sect Leader Xu out. Otherwise, when we break the array, we will surely leave none of you alive!"
Yang Yan mocked, "We have long been in a life-and-death situation with you Evil Spirits, deluding yourselves about us surrendering. If you have the guts, come and break the array!"
Wang Bingye and others were enraged, immediately attacking the array with all their might.
The people of the Wandering Dragon Alliance and various heroic experts were not to be outdone, fully activating the array to defend against the enemy.
With continuous attacks from both sides, the people of the Wandering Dragon Alliance found the array being constantly eroded by the Evil Qi of the Evil Spirits.
It turned out that the Evil Qi of the Evil Spirits naturally countered spiritual power, causing the flow of spiritual power to stagnate, gradually weakening the array’s power.
At this time, Xu Caomu arrogantly laughed wildly, "This Nine Heavens Star Formation is nothing special after all."
Everyone was furious, but could do nothing.
Seizing the moment when everyone was lost in anger, Xu Caomu used all his Evil Power to attack the weak spot of the array with full force.
With a loud boom, a person-sized hole was ripped open in the array, and Xu Caomu took the opportunity to escape.
The people of the Wandering Dragon Alliance were shocked, quickly repairing the array with full effort, and soon sealed the breach.
Escaping from the array, Xu Caomu had lost more than half of his Evil Qi and was unable to continue fighting, so he began cursing the people of the Wandering Dragon Alliance.
"You rats, I, Xu Caomu was nearly caught in your vile scheme. Today I shall flatten the Wandering Dragon Alliance!"
During his cursing, Xu Caomu took the opportunity to restore his Evil Power, while the people of the Wandering Dragon Alliance also took the opportunity to rest.
Yang Yan shouted at Xu Caomu, "Do you really think you can flatten the Wandering Dragon Alliance? Aren’t you afraid of losing your teeth? You old dog, if you have the guts, come on, who’s afraid of whom!"
Yang Yan naturally wasn’t looking for a fight for no reason; he knew they had just missed the best opportunity to kill.
And given the terrifying regeneration capabilities of this Evil being, if they can’t settle it quickly, they would face even more violent attacks.
In such a situation, just a few more rounds and they would be completely exhausted, how would they have any strength left to resist?
It is only now, when this Evil being’s Qi is exhausted and at its weakest, that they can finish it off in one go, which is the best plan.
Sure enough!
Although the Evil being inherited the knowledge and cultivation technique of its original owner, evil remains evil, with limited intelligence, and Yang Yan provoked it with just a few words.
Xu Caomu let out a long howl at the sky, emitting an extremely sharp sound.
Soon, the overwhelming Evil beings crazily rushed towards the array once again.
