As the Universe Turns - Chapter 253
Chapter 253 Stalemate
“Rumble!”
The Heavenly Luo Sword Formation collapsed in an instant. A terrifying force surged out with Murong Xi as the center, instantly causing the four Elders of the auxiliary formation to spit out blood and fly backwards. Ghost Lord Yinshan, Xuanming Youji, and Patriarch Guituo were also unable to escape. They were all knocked backwards by the force.
“Watch out!”
In an instant, Xiao Chen activated the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique, protecting him and Ling Luan within the True Essence Spirit Barrier. Another loud explosion rang out, and the Mysterious Flower and Leaf Realm trembled violently. Inside, Chu Tianqing’s expression suddenly changed, “Xi’er …”
“Sect Master!”
Mr. Xiaoxiang and the others tried their best to protect the Spiritual Energy Grand Formation, but when they were shocked by the terrifying power outside, Hua Weiyang’s face turned pale and his Spiritual Energy almost dissipated.
Seeing this, Chu Tianqing could no longer care about Murong Xi outside. He could only circulate all of his strength and try his best to protect the Spiritual Energy Grand Formation. He could not harm Hua Weiyang in the slightest.
It was only after a long time that the Mysterious Flower and Leaf Realm gradually stabilized. However, the entrance had already loosened a lot due to the tremor just now.
“Miss Wei Yang, how are you?”
Chu Tianqing’s face was already extremely pale. First, he had consumed too much energy just now, and second, he was worried about the situation outside. Hua Weiyang shook his head and tried his best to say, “There’s still one last point left. Stabilize the formation …”
“Young lady, hold on!”
Mr. Xiaoxiang and the others immediately joined forces to stabilize the formation once more, causing the spiritual energy on the flower and leaf to gradually circulate.
At this moment, smoke and dust erupted within a radius of ten kilometers outside the Xuan Mountain. Under the tremor just now, several mountains were shattered. More than half of the people from the Yin Mountain Sect and Xuan Ming Mountain were killed or injured. If the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect hadn’t been protected by the elders, many of them would have died under the Luo Sword Formation just now.
“Uh …”
Murong Xi’s face was deathly pale. A mouthful of blood gushed out from her mouth and staggered to the ground. Her hair was messy, and she was unable to raise her cultivation at this moment.
Together with the four Elders of Immovable Mountain, as well as some other elders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect with higher cultivation bases, because of the collapse of the Heavenly Luo Sword Formation just now, they were actually unable to raise their cultivation at this moment.
“Shit …”
Murong Xi’s expression immediately changed. What should he do this time?
When the smoke and dust scattered, they saw Ghost Lord Yinshan, Xuanming Youji, and Patriarch Guituo. The three of them were also lying cross-legged on the ground, blood flowing out from the corners of their mouths. It turned out that the three of them had also been injured in that moment, and they wouldn’t be able to use much strength in a short period of time.
Seeing this, Murong Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. If not for the collapse of the Heavenly Sword Formation just now, she would not have been able to injure these people. Thinking of this, she immediately said to the disciples behind her, “Protector!”
The disciples didn’t hesitate and immediately surrounded him. The people on the first floor held their swords in case Yinshan Sect and Mysterious Mountain attacked. The people on the first floor helped Murong Xi and the four Elders of Immovable Mountain carry out their martial arts.
On the other side, the people of Yinshan Sect and Mysterious Nether Mountain also protected Ghost Lord Yinshan and Xuanming Youji. Patriarch Ghost Tuo’s palm trembled and his cultivation resumed between the two of them.
At this moment, the situation suddenly became strange and tense again. A few Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm experts, because the Luo Sword Formation had collapsed that day, were now unable to use their strength. Then, it would depend on who recovered their strength first.
“Dark Nether Ghost!”
Xuanming Youji waved his hands and the eight ghosts surrounded her, helping her recover her strength. Ghost Lord Yinshan sent her a secret message, “Murong Xi can’t move now. Why don’t we join hands and kill her together with Patriarch Ghost Tuo?”
“If you think that with your current state, you can break through the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sword formation, you might as well try.”
Xuanming Youji closed his eyes and placed his hands on his dantian. He slowly absorbed the Profound Nether Force sent by the eight ghosts, and his body gradually shrouded in a layer of ghostly light.
Ghost Lord Yinshan’s gaze narrowed slightly. He looked towards the Heavenly Spirit Sect. If the three of them were at their peak, this sword formation would naturally be broken, but now it was not easy. If he missed the opportunity to recover and let Murong Xi and the four people from the Immovable Mountain recover first, it would be bad for them. Xuanming Youji’s words weren’t bad, so he should think of a way to recover his strength first.
Thinking of this, Ghost Lord Yinshan also asked someone to protect him and attempted to disrupt Murong Xi’s heart. He then sneered at the Heavenly Spirit Sect and said, “Madam Chu, you have just suffered heavy injuries and were pierced through by the Nine Heavens Ten Gu of the Mistress of the Dark Underworld. Can you still recover your strength? If you can’t recover, then these disciples of your sect will have to accompany you to death …”
Murong Xi’s face was still calm. He knew that he wanted to confuse his heart, so he sneered, “Ghost Lord Yinshan, if you have the time, why don’t you think about how to recover your strength? Otherwise, I’m afraid that you won’t die in the hands of the old man, but the two people beside you …”
These words were also powerful. This time, the three great demonic sects of Yinshan Sect, Mysterious Nether Mountain, and Ghost Tuoluo Mountain had joined forces to attack Spirit Mountain. On the surface, they looked like they were “connected by the same energy.” In reality, which of the three leaders of the demonic sects didn’t have evil intentions?
Ghost Lord Yinshan sneered. He looked at the two of them left and right. Seeing that Xuanming Youji and Patriarch Guituo were both closing their eyes to recover their strength, he thought that he couldn’t fall behind the two of them. He didn’t say anything else and immediately began to circulate his magic arts.
The two sides were in a stalemate just like this, but the current situation was still very unfavorable for Heavenly Spirit Sect. Murong Xi and the four Elders who were motionless were unable to raise their own strength to fight against the enemy in a short period of time, while the three of them only needed to recover slightly.
“Wu Chen, let’s get out of here.”
Seeing that the situation over there had finally eased slightly, Ling Luan immediately pulled Xiao Chen’s sleeve and said anxiously.
Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He immediately activated his movement technique and flew towards Murong Xi. When the people from Yin Mountain Sect and Xuan Ming Mountain saw two figures suddenly flying out of the bushes behind him, they were all shocked. When they reacted, Xiao Chen had already brought Ling Luan and landed firmly beside Murong Xi and the four elders.
“Grandmother!”
Ling Luan hurriedly ran to Murong Xi. When Murong Xi saw the two of them suddenly appear, her face was also slightly shocked. She believed that the two of them had been hiding there until now.
“Ling’er, are you alright?”
“Ling’er is fine. Grandmother, don’t worry.”
Ling Luan shook her head. At this moment, Xiao Chen also walked up and looked at Murong Xi. “Senior Murong, what should we do now?”
Murong Xi slightly activated her cultivation technique and immediately felt a sharp pain coming from her dantian. At this moment, it was still difficult for her to gather her Qi. If she forcefully activated her cultivation technique and fought against others, she was afraid that her body would not be able to withstand it.
Looking at the three of them in front of him, they had already recovered some of their strength. If this continued, once the other party recovered their strength first, the consequences would probably be very serious.
Xiao Chen also slowly turned around. Ghost Lord Yinshan and Xuanming Youji had already seen him before. As for Patriarch Guituo, he was extremely familiar with him. Last time, he asked disciple Feng Zhuyun to take the Soul-absorbing Green Lamp to deal with him. Unexpectedly, the Soul-absorbing Green Lamp was taken away by the other party.
