Chapter 352 Annihilation of the Mountain Gate
In order to avenge their previous humiliation, the six clans of Zhao specially brought out a sixth-tier array-breaking bead, aiming to completely destroy the Blood Dragon Stronghold's grand array.
However, the one in Zhang Lingyu's hand is a fifth-tier one.
This fifth-tier array-breaking bead was originally intended to break through the Flower Fragrance Valley, but Qiu Lexuan, who was guarding the array, was injured by a cultivator from our sect and sacrificed herself to break the array, so it was no longer needed.
In the end, Yu Guang Pavilion did not take it back, and it ended up in his hands.
Blood Dragon Stronghold's protective formation is only at the fifth level; using a sixth-level formation-breaking bead is really overkill...
"Wouldn't this be considered abusing my power for personal gain?"
He smiled and shook his head. The moment he took out the array-breaking bead, the cultivators behind him immediately understood his meaning. At the same time, countless spells, talismans, and spirit ships launched a frenzied attack on the great array.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the Formation-Breaking Pearl had been taken out, Tu Xuan's heart sank. However, it was still too early to leave now. With the blood energy accumulated in the several bone towers and his own magic power, he could hold out for a while.
After saying that, he quickly formed hand seals, and the several towers made of white bones deep in the valley exploded with a bang, and dozens of streams of blood energy turned into a blood-red torrent that continuously poured into the mountain-protecting formation.
The reason they were willing to slaughter the mortals under their rule was for this very moment.
"A futile effort..."
Zhang Lingyu gently shook his head, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a figure landed in front of him, immediately attacking the great formation without hesitation.
"Golden Core Puppet!"
Tu Xuan, who had still held a sliver of hope, was terrified by the scene. He knew that Zhang Lingyu's ability to form his core so quickly must have been due to some extraordinary encounter.
The reason they lingered was to see if they could kill the other party and gain some benefit from it.
But isn't this incredible stroke of luck a bit too much? Starting with a puppet at the Golden Core level...
Once he realized what was happening, he stopped his movement technique without hesitation and quickly fled into the distance. He even felt that he wasn't fast enough, so he used some kind of secret technique that would deplete his lifespan.
This scene left the Blood Dragon Stronghold cultivators inside the great formation completely stunned.
They were the ones who wanted to beat you up earlier, but now you've run away without a word. Aren't you just making a fool of them?
Seeing Tu Xuan walk further and further away, the demonic cultivator stopped his spellcasting and began to kneel on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy. Since the array plate was not in his hands, he could not dispel the great array and could only save his life through this method.
'Looks like we've saved another formation-breaking bead this time...'
Zhang Lingyu was somewhat amused and exasperated. He first ordered the cultivators to attack, then left the Golden Core puppets to cooperate in attacking the formation, while he went to chase after Tu Xuan.
Now that we're here, how can we let them go?
Despite Tu Xuan's speed, Zhang Lingyu stopped him in less than a quarter of an hour by activating the Shadow Chasing Shuttle.
Seeing that he had caught up so quickly, Tu Xuan didn't hesitate and went straight to meet him in a battle of magic.
He was a bandit cultivator, and since he started cultivating, he had been doing a life of danger. He had seen this kind of scene no less than a hundred times, and every time he had to lose half his life to survive.
If I win the fight and obtain Zhang Lingyu's many treasures, I will surely be able to advance further.
This time, however, he was not so lucky. Within just over ten rounds, he had already fallen into a disadvantageous position and was in mortal danger. His opponent had no intention of getting entangled with him any further.
Looking at the crimson-gold sea of fire that had completely surrounded him, Tu Xuan could no longer contain himself. He roared to the sky, "Fellow Daoist, even now you still refuse to show yourself? Do you really intend to watch me perish?!"
"With our combined strength, dealing with a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator shouldn't be a problem at all!"
As the first Golden Core cultivator to surrender to the Chu Kingdom, Blood Dragon Stronghold was a thorn in the side of the Zhao Kingdom. The five sects, including Blood Flame Sect, had long anticipated that the other side would definitely take it down, so they secretly sent a Golden Core demon cultivator to guard it from the side.
One Golden Core cultivator, coupled with Tu Xuan and the mountain-protecting formation, is enough to withstand the attack of three Golden Core cultivators.
After all, with the war so intense, it was already difficult for the Zhao state to spare three Golden Core cultivators. If one or two more Golden Core cultivators were added, the situation would only worsen.
The moment Zhang Lingyu appeared, Tu Xuan had already notified the other party, but there was no sign of the other party making a move.
Perhaps the opponent was thinking that he might only be a Golden Core cultivator in the early stages, and there was no need to expose himself directly. It would be best to launch a sneak attack and take him down in one fell swoop.
But as the situation worsened, he finally sensed something was wrong: the Golden Core demon cultivator sent by the Chu Kingdom made no move whatsoever.
There are definitely people there; I've seen them myself. They've always stayed in Blood Dragon Stronghold...
This made him wonder if he really didn't want to take action or if he was thinking of letting the two fight and the third party benefit.
Or did they just slip away?
He himself relied on secret techniques, and while his magical power had reached the level of a Golden Core cultivator, his spiritual soul was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, making it impossible for him to detect whether the other party was still there...
Tu Xuan's roar still echoed in the air, but the only response he received was the crackling sound of the Burning Yuan Fire Sea.
Zhang Lingyu glanced casually in one direction, then clenched his fist, and the sea of fire instantly condensed into a single point of light, heading towards Tu Xuan.
The latter couldn't dodge in time, and his entire head exploded like a watermelon, even piercing a large hole in the magic weapon he had just taken out.
As the headless corpse fell from the sky, Zhang Lingyu didn't rush to retrieve it. Instead, he calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, aren't you coming out?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, it's been a long time..."
A woman in a white dress suddenly appeared not far away, her pretty face covered by a veil. She bowed from afar and said softly, "Shuyan congratulates you on successfully forming your core."
"Congratulations, congratulations! But Fellow Daoist Jiang, we met briefly outside Tianliu City not long ago. How can you say it's been a long time?"
Zhang Lingyu's lips curled into a smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist, you just stood by and watched Tu Xuan die, and Blood Dragon Stronghold was destroyed by me, without offering any help?"
"Fellow Daoist, you jest. Blood Dragon Stronghold is inhumane and has committed such boundless acts of slaughter. This humble woman wishes for their swift annihilation; how could I possibly aid and abet such evil?"
Jiang Shuyan covered her face and laughed, continuing, "Besides, you and I have been friends for many years. If it were anyone else, it would be one thing, but since you've come to attack, how could I possibly kick you when you're down?"
"In that case, I, Zhang, thank you very much, fellow Daoist..."
Zhang Lingyu truly meant what he said. In fact, he had already noticed Jiang Shuyan from the beginning. Fortunately, he had a tacit understanding with this woman; otherwise, it would have been difficult to deal with someone else.
Even with the help of Tu Xuan and the mountain-protecting formation, a Golden Core cultivator, along with his numerous magical treasures and Golden Core puppets, would inevitably suffer some injuries. As for the cultivators below, it's hard to say.
So if it were someone else, he would just run away without stopping.
"Fellow Daoist is too kind. It was nothing at all. There's no need for thanks. Haven't you helped me a lot in the past?"
Jiang Shuyan smiled, but her expression turned serious in an instant. She advised, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, we are destined to meet. Since we have met today, I also have some advice for you."
"The state of Zhao is doomed. It would be better to surrender to the state of Chu as soon as possible, so that we can save our lives and property!"
