Chapter 556 - Xuanji, Moonlight
previously--
thunderbolt--
the little white hand made a gesture and thunder roared in the sky. the black fox's tail swung and turned the mountains and rivers into huge waves that soared into the sky.
arcs of lightning scattered in the air, wrapped around a huge black fog fox head which opened its huge mouth ferociously, as if it wanted to swallow the entire world.
ying--!!!
the fox's roar echoed in all directions.
however, facing this vast spiritual energy, yu yan's eyes were as calm as always.
his heavenly demon sect patriarch robe was not stained with dust and did not have a single wrinkle even after the joint attack of si xuanji and hu mu.
gu yu yan put his left hand behind his back and held his chest with his right hand.
"red moon, i am getting more and more confused."
sizzle—
the beast energy condensed by hu mu's aura instantly shattered with a sound like broken glass.
countless blood pillars gushed out from the ground below, and turned into blood eels from yu yan's body, swimming in the sky, and in just a moment, hu mu was wrapped up into a bloody cocoon.
ying—!!!
seeing hu mu being caught by the demonic blood cocoon, si xuanji clenched her fists and hurriedly prepared to use some spells to help him escape, but the moment her attention was diverted, a bloody hand had already slapped her shoulder.
gu yu yan's voice sounded from behind her: "red moon, you are now very different from the one in my memory..."
si xuanji's yin-yang eyes slightly widened, and she immediately turned to look behind her, but she didn't have time to use her spiritual power.
crash--
the blood eels swimming in the air suddenly turned into iron chains made of blood, tightly wrapped around her hands, feet, neck, waist, and abdomen, and then exerted tremendous force as if trying to tear her apart.
"tsk--"
this method was one of gu yu yan's blood punishments. although it was essentially a formation, it was like a direct spell and could be activated without setting up the terrain in advance.
ordinary cultivators would be torn into strips of meat in just three breaths if they were entangled by this chain.
even si xuanji's divine body and jade bones of the void returning stage made a series of "crackling" whines under the tearing of the blood chains.
yu yan's body landed from the sky ten feet away from her. his bloodshot eyes behind the mask stared into si xuanji's eyes. after a moment of silence, he said: "in my impression, you are not a reckless person like immortal yun tian, so i am very curious about what it was that could make you, a person who is afraid of death, step into the eastern region and face me. could it be that you are tired of living for such a long time? hehe..."
si xuanji gritted her teeth and stared at yu yan, her eyes still bright, with no intention of answering him. she glanced in the direction of the heavenly demon sect, hoping that ye anping could move faster.
her cultivator name was "red moon".
the moon contained her void returning golden core spiritual energy.
where the moonlight couldn't reach, she was equivalent to a cultivator without a golden core.
although he could still use immortal spells that were beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators by relying on her vast energy, simple spells were of almost no use in the battles between void returning stage cultivators.
now she could indeed make the moon break through the dark clouds and let the moonlight shine on her.
but as mentioned before, the moon itself was her inner spirit.
letting the moon fall, basically meant exposing her spiritual core to gu yu yan.
gu yu yan was a formation practitioner, and this was his territory.
as long as she summoned her spiritual core, gu yu yan could smash it with just one blow, and then she would be dead.
"tsk—"
"heh..."
gu yu yan looked at si xuanji, who was now in such a miserable state but still confident of victory, and felt a little dissatisfied. his bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly.
clatter—
the blood chains that bound si xuanji's hands and feet straightened again, and even si xuanji couldn't help but let out a cry: "ah!"
"that's quite a nice sound."
gu yan sneered, but soon his face fell again, and he turned to look at a bald man who was meditating on the top of a mountain about a thousand miles away.
he had actually noticed that grand master zhiming and zu yuan, who had lost his cultivation, were already watching from there. he originally thought that the bald man was red moon's heavenly soldier, but the baldy from the awareness sect had no intention of taking action until now.
to be honest, he had never fought with this baldy before, and he had never seen him take action. he only knew that he was a cultivator who specialized in formations, like him.
"grand master zhiming, if you don't take action now, red moon will die in my hands. hehe..."
the mocking voice spread a thousand miles and fell into the grand master zhiming's ears who was meditating on the top of the mountain, but he did not move at all.
zu yuan, who was standing next to him, looked at this situation with a troubled expression.
seeing si xuanji being tied up in such an embarrassing state was like seeing a naughty kid finally being punished for her pranks. he was indeed a little happy right now.
but happiness aside, he didn't want to see si xuanji die at the hands of yu yan.
"grand master zhiming, you won't help?"
"i..." grand master zhiming put his hands together and answered in a very calm tone, "i can't beat him."
zu yuan was speechless: "..."
however, grand master zhiming's words were true. even if he still had his cultivation and joined forces with zhiming, si xuanji, and the demon king to attack yu yan, their chances of winning were less than 20%, not to mention him acting alone.
every kind of cultivation had its advantages and disadvantages.
the advantage of a cultivator who practiced formation techniques was that he was almost invincible in his own territory, not to mention gu yu yan, who had already reached the top of the cultivation at the void returning stage.
but zu yuan didn't get it.
si xuanji herself drew up the plan to attack the heavenly demon sect. she must have been aware of yu yan's ability in his own territory.
"hiss—amitabha~~"
zu yuan hurriedly shouted: "what amitabha, damn you? you can bear it, but me and my granddaughter can't...can't bear it!!! quickly start the fire formation!"
boom boom—
sun juehu and gu yu yan collided in the air, creating arcs of light.
however, yu yan never took her seriously from beginning to end. it was as if he was playing with the spear in sun juehu's hand that turned into an ice dragon, like teasing it with a dragon ball.
after all, perhaps in the next tens of thousands of years, he will never have the opportunity to fight with cultivators of the same level again.
if he didn't take advantage of it now, he wouldn't get another chance in the future.
"hahahahahaha—!!!"
clang—!
sun juehu pointed her spear at gu yu yan's blood arm and shouted: "how can you laugh?!!!"
"so what if i laugh? what can you do by yourself?" gu yu yan didn't take her seriously at all, and took the time to shout to the grand master zhiming in the distance, "baldy!! are you still not going to attack?!! do you think my heavenly demon territory is your immortal martial arts arena where you can go up one by one?!! hahahaha..."
"hah--!!!"
yu yan winked meaningfully: "empress, calm down... ok?!!"
as soon as the shout came out, the blood column around his body turned into a soft whip and hit the spear in sun juehu's hand with all his strength, then turned into countless tentacles, slapping sun juehu violently.
boom boom boom--
explosions continued in the air, beating the frost and snow protecting sun juehu's body into bursts of ice mist, and a cloud of snow appeared in the air.
sun juehu was struggling. she gritted her teeth, looked at the blood stomach behind her wrapped around si xuanji, and shouted again: "red moon!!! come out and help me!!!"
ying—!
accompanied by the fox's cry, the dark mist once again formed a long whip and wrapped around yu yan.
however, yu yan just glanced sideways and waved his hand to block it.
"fox, wouldn't it be better to take the opportunity to escape?"
"ying—!!!"
however, the moment this shout was uttered...
gu yan suddenly felt a violent twitch in his heart, his eyes widened, and a long-forgotten pain rose from his abdomen.
bang—
the blood flowing around his body instantly exploded into countless blood drops, and a bloody rain fell within a radius of one hundred miles.
sun juehu was still gritting her teeth, thinking about how to fight back. seeing the blood claws that were whipping her suddenly explode, she was a little confused.
"cough—"
gu yu yan vomited a mouthful of blood, and turned in horror in the direction of the heavenly demon sect behind him, with a look of disbelief on his face.
boom—
a blood-red light shot toward the sky from the heavenly demon sect.
then, the blood stomach that wrapped si xuanji disintegrated instantly.
si xuanji's tightly closed yin and yang eyes slowly opened, she pursed her lips looking in the direction of the heavenly demon sect, then raised her right hand to the sky, and the full moon that had been waiting for a long time broke through the clouds and fell like a meteorite.
the silver-white moonlight sprinkled on her long black and white hair, shining vividly.
she deliberately flew higher, looked at gu yu yan who was vomiting blood below, and said with a loli voice: "gu yan, as you said, if i hadn't been prepared, how could i come here to fight you?"
"..."
"even for a void returning cultivator, life and death are only a moment away."
si xuanji glanced at sun juehu standing with her spear. with a wave of her hand, a yin-yang shield rose from behind her head. then, she said softly: "just like what i said to you when we met..."
"go to hell—"
buzz—
the moonlight fell like a meteor, shattering the mountains and rivers.
a ray of light, like a new sun, shone over the eastern region, which was covered with dark clouds all year round.
when the light dissipated, gu yu yan's figure had disappeared from their sight.
si xuanji exhaled a breath of spiritual mist and whispered: "what a disappointment..."
then she turned her head to look at sun juehu who had pointed the spear toward her, and her eyes became gloomy.
sun juehu flicked her hair behind her, tightly grasped the spear, and said: "is sister red moon really powerful? or is mr. ye really powerful?"
"...sun juehu." si xuanji frowned slightly, "can't you..."
"no!!"
sun juehu's eyes sharpened, and she arrived near si xuanji in an instant, thrusting her spear toward her chest.
boom--
the spiritual light lit up the land again in an instant.
hu mu, who was standing aside, also turned back into human form at this moment. watching sun juehu and si xuanji fighting, he closed his eyes and calmed his mind for a while, no longer caring about them.
the fight between the si and sun women had nothing to do with him.
he only agreed to help them kill gu yu yan.
and gu yu yan was not dead yet!!
"hmm...yulan...hiss—" hu mu whined, sniffed lightly, and then turned into a ball of black mist again, hurrying toward the heavenly demon sect.
