on the power of the earth's fury and swirling the winds of heaven and earth. Mountains around it glimmer with spirits, shifting like chess pieces on a board, moving slowly under the control of the fou...When the Bloodflame Sect Master made a move, Lu Xia Tian immediately sensed it and retreated. The Bloodflame giant hand and Mo Yu Yan's golden spear both missed their targets, causing the surrounding lihuo clouds to collapse like a disaster.

“Activate all the Mountain-Protecting Formations, now!” The Blood Flame Sect Master's entire body was engulfed within crimson battle armor, his specific expression unreadable. However, anyone could hear the mix of fury and alarm in his voice.

The Bloodflame Sect Master's roar echoed through the forest, but his pursuit of Lu Xia Tian wasn't particularly swift. He watched helplessly as that faint shadow flitted effortlessly through the trees.

...Time was too short, and it took time to activate all the protective formations. At this moment, there was only one medium-powered fire stone soul-shifting formation activated. In the sky, the stones resembled a forest, but this formation had just been activated and hadn't reached its peak power yet. A faint figure extended their hand, drawing across the void, and a graceful sword light slashed at the edge of the formation. This incomplete barrier was cut open by a thin crack. The cloaked figure swayed slightly and passed through the gap in the barrier.

In the distance, a woman with one side of her face hidden by her hair and the other side strikingly beautiful, arrived accompanied by a group of disciples from the Huasheng Sect. The woman with half her face obscured wore a cold expression as she wielded a red silk ribbon. As it danced, it suddenly churned the surrounding space into a sea of fire-colored ribbons.

This stunning woman's adoption of this strategy to ensnare the enemy in a short period of time was undoubtedly correct. Even if she could only delay the opponent for a moment, the powerful figures within Yangli Zong would swarm over. As long as they were not cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or higher, they wouldn't even dream of leaving this place.

This woman, with her hair partially obscuring her face, reacted quickly. Though her strength ranked relatively low among the elders of Yangli Zong, and her combat skills were even considered middling at best, she was exceptionally skilled at trapping her opponents. She had confidence that she could hold off the other party for a while.

But before she could fully unleash her power, a flying sword swooped in from an unexpectedly cunning angle, dodging the swirling red clouds with minimal wasted energy. It zipped straight to her.

This woman was instantly shocked and pale. Even the Blood Flame Sect Master probably wouldn't be able to reach this point.

Without a second thought, the woman flipped her palm over. Another crimson handkerchief flew from her sleeve and whirled rapidly in front of her, instantly forming a large shield.

Alas, the red silk shield proved insufficient to protect her. The seemingly ethereal swordsmanship was far beyond her expectations, slicing through her protective talisman with ease. Panicked, she abandoned her treasure and fled for safety.

A cry of pain rang out. The woman's body stumbled in mid-air, almost losing her balance. A spray of blood shot out from the air as she gasped, her right arm hanging by a thread of skin; if it had been severed another moment, she would have fallen to the ground.

The woman was still shaken, but as she saw the figure pass by where she had just intercepted it, she turned back and met its gaze. There was a calm in those eyes that hadn't been touched by the panic of the numerous Yang Li Zong experts who hadn't noticed him. There was only an extreme composure, as if entering Yang Li Zong was as easy as walking on flat ground for him. And the group of Yang Li Zong experts who wanted to surround him seemed unable to stir a single ripple in his eyes.

The woman was shocked to her core. There wasn't even a sliver of resistance left in her. At this moment, the sword energy that seemed light and airy but was actually incredibly domineering entered her body, traveling against her meridians like needles. This beautiful woman with half-revealed hair could be certain that if the other party wished it, they could kill her effortlessly and then calmly withdraw.

Fortunately, the other party had no intention of pursuing them. They completely disregarded those Nascent Soul disciples, simply flying over the panicked Nascent Soul disciples.

At this time, the Lihuo Phantom Pythons guarding the mountain gate had already been alarmed and flew towards Lu Xiaoteng's direction, encircling him.

Where the sword passed, it naturally stirred up a storm of blood and carnage, but its speed did not slow down.

Throughout the entire Yangli Sect, the mountain-protecting formation had been activated layer by layer. People were bustling about everywhere. Apart from the Shenxu Realm elders who had gone out, even those still in seclusion had come out early. Including Mo Yu'e and the nine others, they all rushed over, but the faint shadow in the distance had already disappeared leisurely from the mountaintop. Only the entire Yangli Sect, which had been startled, was left behind. At this time, the power of the mountain-protecting formation, which had only gradually increased, was shining with brilliance. But such a dazzling appearance was nothing more than a loud slap in the face to the Shenxu Realm experts led by the Blood Flame Sect Master.

Everyone looked in the direction where the faint shadow disappeared, the shock in their hearts was self-evident. Mo Yu'yan, this outsider, also had a look of astonishment on her face. Yangli Zong was already a major force in the surrounding area. Ordinary small fry would not dare to provoke them casually. It's good that Yangli Zong doesn't go out of their way to cause trouble for them. Where did they dare to offend Unless a major force came to attack Yangli Zong's mountain gate. But when a large force attacked, Yangli Zong would have early signs, and the protective mountain formation could be opened in time, completely enough.

What was once an impenetrable defense in the eyes of everyone, now looked like a joke. The man not only ventured deep into Yangli Sect, bypassing its defensive barriers and the numerous Fiery Illusion Snakes on the perimeter, but did so undetected by anyone. Although Bloodflame Sect Master eventually noticed something amiss, the outcome left them filled with shame. Even when discovered in the core region of their sect, the intruder calmly evaded the attacks of both the Sect Master and his companion, shattering the first activated Fire Sha Slayer Spirit Formation. While the formation hadn't fully opened yet, that single sword strike broke it apart, leaving everyone astonished at how effortless it was.

After breaking through the formation, he disarmed the formidable Talk Wen with a single blow. He stealthily infiltrated the core area of Yangli Zong. With effortless precision, he dismantled the already activated formation and wounded Talk Wen with his sword. Under the relentless pursuit of Yangli Zong's disciples, he calmly withdrew, leaving Yangli Zong's people unable to even touch him.

"A person this powerful couldn't be a combined deity, could they" As the Heishen sect disciples saw Blood Flame Sect Master and the elders all with grim faces, silent as statues, one black marten demon drew a cold breath.

“It wasn't a combined entity powerhouse. If it were an expert before the combination stage, we would be afraid of dying without a life left. However, that person's swordsmanship is so powerful that it is truly unprecedented in my life.”Injured and with hair covering half her face, revealing a pale complexion with talk lines shaking her head. In normal times, she would have already returned to her cave to heal. But at this time, Yang Lizong encountered such a mysterious and formidable enemy. If she retreated now, she would naturally miss the best opportunity to understand this person. Even if she didn't have the intention of rebelling against Yang Lizong, knowing more about the strong enemy could be the difference between life and death in the future. Since she couldn't beat him, she had to do her best to avoid encountering that mysterious person again. She couldn't guarantee that she would be as lucky as this time if she faced him again.. However, Lu Xia Tian did this secretly, and he didn't think the other party would notice so quickly."All of you, go out. I have something private to discuss with Dongfang Xiaoyou." By this time, Zhu...
