A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 149 - 121: Each Displays Their Divine Techniques (Part 2)

Feng Jun’s face lit up with joy. At this moment, the Qi Cultivation Elites gathered together, one operating a Flying Spiritual Artifact, while the others reinforced the Defensive Light Shield, blocking the Fire Meteor amidst rumbling explosions.

Guh Niqiang’s strike was merely a distraction, unleashing hundreds of Fire Meteors, and each Flying Spiritual Artifact successfully intercepted several. Only a couple of unlucky ones received a few extra hits, getting their Defensive Light Shield blasted apart, suffering minor injuries.

Right then, Feng Jun shouted, "Quickly descend and help the two Feathered Scholars slay Lu Qian!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a high-pitched screech echoed through the sky, Feng Jun’s face changed drastically, seeing the Golden Crow Illusion suddenly shrink to a height of over a meter, followed by flames that turned entirely from gold to white!

In that instant, Feng Jun, ten meters away, felt a wave of intense heat rush towards him, curling the hair on his head and face.

Another screech! In the blink of an eye, the white flames devoured the red and blue lights completely. However, Guh Niqiang wasn’t entirely unscathed. Her palms were cut by the Dual Wheels, dripping with blood, wounds deep as bone.

Yet, the more painful, the more excited she became, gripping the Sun and Moon Dual Wheels tightly, the pair of High-Tier Spiritual Artifacts creaking under the scorching blaze.

Noticing the actions of the Qi Cultivators, Guh Niqiang let out a long roar, her figure flashing explosively, instantly intercepting the Qi Cultivators, waving her hands, the Sun and Moon Dual Wheels incredibly sharp, surrounded by terrifyingly high-temperature white flames, shattering several Defensive Light Shields in an instant, and several cultivators aboard the front Flying Spiritual Artifact were instantly incinerated to ashes.

Fairy Nishang raised her head with a maddened grin that struck fear into every cultivator, "Where do you think you’re going? You’re surrounded by me!"

At this moment, in the Grand Array, Zhuang Qing’s Xun Wind Li Fire Double Talisman just cleared an area within ten meters of them when the Golden Waterfall Needle bombarded down on him, and the dazzling Golden Flounder Tide rushed at them, the sharpness causing pain on their faces.

The tactic is to first target the weak, then the strong, so Lu Qian planned to first distract Zhuang Qing, directly aiming for the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Huangfu Zhuqing with a Duo Chao Geng Gold Divine Sword. Although under Lu Qian’s control, the Golden Waterfall Needle carried a formidable momentum, the attack of the Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivators seemed no different, but in front of the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Zhuang Qing, it was completely lacking.

Concerned about failing to adequately restrain, Lu Qian’s Divine Sense flickered, and over a dozen Geng Metal Sole Fish split from the Duo Chao, cleverly darting toward Zhuang Qing.

The ability to flexibly reorganize at will was why Lu Qian chose to use the Duo Chao Geng Gold Divine Sword.

At this moment, Lu Qian had already initiated the ’Lake’ Spell, his Divine Sense rippling like waves in a lake. The enemies’ every move, akin to stones thrown into a lake, creating ripples, captured anew by Lu Qian, granting him clearer grasp over enemy maneuvers.

Within these interactions, Lu Qian’s understanding of the ’Mirror’ and ’Lake’ techniques deepened, vaguely glimpsing the threshold of the ’Mirror Lake’ realm, the first tier of the Wave Array Secret Manual.

A massive Gull Flounder Tide surged at Huangfu Zhuqing, and faced with this unstoppable Geng Metal Qi, he was astonished and enraged, the disdain in his heart instantly dissipating.

Never did he expect Lu Qian, although in Late-Stage Qi Cultivation, to launch an attack of such power, comparable to a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment!

Huangfu Zhuqing roared fiercely, Spiritual Power surged wildly, Dao Patterns tremored, and the Bamboo Sea Cloud-Piercing Fan unfolded with a swoosh, spawning layers of densely budding green bamboo, stronger under the ’Tenacity’ Dao Pattern, offering him firm protection.

The dazzling Gull Flounder Tide suddenly pounced, Geng Metal Divine Sword pierced layer upon layer into the bamboo shadows, accompanied by crackling blasts, shattering green bamboo and dispersing bamboo shadows, while the Duo Chao swiftly wore down, with golden light dimming rapidly. Lu Qian’s expression changed, realizing he might have chosen the wrong primary target.

Meanwhile, faced with the descending Golden Waterfall Needle and the oncoming dozen golden monstrous soles, Zhuang Qing’s face darkened like water, stopping the Talisman of Fire and Wind, extending the Ink Jade Brush, and sweeping through the air.

A peculiar Talisman swiftly took shape.

"Fix!"

Invisible ripples spread out from the Talisman, immovably freezing the Golden Waterfall Needle and monstrous soles in mid-air. Lu Qian’s Divine Sense split a thread, attempting to detonate the Golden Waterfall Needle, but the thousands of Silver Needles remained completely unfazed.

In this moment, another Talisman was drawn by Zhuang Qing.

"Scatter!"

The Golden Waterfall Needle and monstrous soles intensely vibrated in mid-air, Lu Qian felt Spiritual Qi chaotically surging, as if an immense invisible grindstone pressed upon the two transformations, grinding them down, dispersing into specks of Spiritual Light.

Then, another loud crack resounded, the bamboo shadows fully shattered, exposing Huangfu Zhuqing, yet the Duo Chao also dissipated in the Grand Array.

Though fully expanded, the Bamboo Sea Cloud-Piercing Fan, under Huangfu Zhuqing’s Dao Patterns, exhibited astonishing defense, even the unrivaled sharpness of the Duo Chao Geng Gold Divine Sword barely managed to disintegrate it, failing to harm the body.

Lu Qian knew the situation within the Grand Array clearly, one Spirit Crystal used out of the five newly placed on the Array Map, with four crystals retaining Spiritual Qi. His Divine Sense only allowed one more use of Triple Transformation. By now, approximately twenty breaths had passed, needing to endure ten more!

Lu Qian’s meticulously maintained ’Lake’ technique provided feedback, the latest situation of both enemy sides simultaneously imprinted on his Divine Sense, he reflexively responded, the Five Elements Command Flag Array Base shuddered, a new transformation emerged timely.

Outside the Grand Array, engulfed in white blaze, wrapped within the over-meter-high Golden Crow Illusion, Guh Niqiang was bloodthirsty.

Amidst the piercing screeching of the Golden Crow, white flames surged like lightning through the Qi Cultivation Elite Team. Guh Niqiang, wielding the Sun and Moon Dual Wheels seized from Feng Jun, shattered one Defensive Light Shield after another in mid-air; Qi Cultivators screamed in agony, disintegrating into charred remains.

Guh Niqiang penetrated the enemy formation, Qi Cultivators cried out in terror, ignoring their peers beside them, recklessly unleashing Magical Artifacts, Talismans, and Magic Techniques, layers of Spiritual Light burst forth, like massive layered nets shrouding that white silhouette.

Initially, with dozens of elite attacks converging, Guh Niqiang could suffer considerable damage. But after the Golden Crow shrank and condensed, her escape speed was staggering, Qi Cultivators’ eyes and Divine Sense struggled to capture her; often her afterimage stayed while the Flying Sky Spiritual Artifact nearby shattered in mid-air.

Guh Niqiang transformed almost into a Divine Golden Crow, maneuvering agilely through concentrated attacks, constantly repositioning by using other Qi Cultivators to obscure her presence, leaving only sporadic attacks able to pursue her.

When facing inevitable attacks, she simply let out a palm, white flames erupted, forming flame whirlwinds shielding her front. The Magical Artifacts launched by Qi Cultivators were like mosquito bites, the Magic Techniques akin to gentle breezes, and the Paper Talismans were burnt to ashes before reaching her.

Within mere moments, Guh Niqiang had slain half of the forty Late-Stage Qi Cultivation Elites!

Feng Jun was furious, thirty out of the forty elites were disciples of the Shahe Gang, and such losses made his heart bleed. But the pair of High-Tier Spiritual Artifacts considered his life’s treasures, the Sun and Moon Dual Wheels, were forcibly taken by Guh Niqiang, leaving him to draw out a spare Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword, roaring furiously, charging directly at Guh Niqiang.

Guh Niqiang saw his furious look and laughed heartily, even raising her hands, "This broken wheel isn’t any good, taking it back!"

With a sizzling explosion, the Sun and Moon Dual Wheels, wrapped in roaring white blaze, shot explosively towards Feng Jun!

Then she spun around, again darting into the Qi Cultivators’ team.

A punch like a mountain, a palm like a sea, a finger like a sword, a claw like a hook, Guh Niqiang rampaged arrogantly, and wherever she passed, Magical Artifacts shattered, charred bodies fell!

So fast! The Sun and Moon Dual Wheels shot back, slashing at his face in the blink of an eye, sharp and terrifyingly hot, Feng Jun dared not receive them. He only managed to throw out the Flying Sword in hand, clanging against the Dual Wheels, then sidestepped, barely avoiding the attack.

In the sharp screeching, the Dual Wheels grazed past Feng Jun, eliciting a scream as his clothes flared up, flesh on his face, chest, and arms scraped away.

By now, he realized the absolute disparity between him and Guh Niqiang, fear flooding his heart, he turned to flee!
