Chapter 1286 Destroying the Clone Again
The two looked warily at the purple-robed male immortal who had suddenly appeared in mid-air. Yunxi knew he was coming for her, so she said to Difei:
"You protect the immortals below. Leave this person to me. Be careful that the evil immortal doesn't have any other tricks up his sleeve."
The moment she finished speaking, she vanished from her spot. She didn't bother with any more words. When she saw the other person's deep blue eyes, she knew who it was. This time, she decided to strike first.
The opponent did not expect Yunxi to attack without saying a word. He also summoned five flying knives with the five elements attributes without hesitation, forming a knife array to block Yunxi's first strike.
The aftershocks of the collision between the long staff and the flying knife quickly spread across the entire sky. The ghost immortals below, who had just stabilized their souls, let out wails again. Di Fei casually threw out a light shield to protect the immortals in the city below, and then stared intently at the two fighting.
After watching for a while, Di Fei noticed something. Yun Xi and the suddenly appearing purple-robed male immortal were evenly matched, and their fight was truly aimed at killing each other. However, because their strengths were evenly matched, neither of them was able to gain the upper hand for the time being.
However, the battle situation changed after a quarter of an hour. Yunxi's natal staff firmly suppressed her opponent, but the male immortal was not to be outdone. He used the agility and mobility of his five flying knives to launch attacks from all sorts of tricky and unexpected angles, forcing Yunxi to attack her opponent while also preventing herself from being ambushed.
Di Fei swallowed the Grade 8 Soul-Nourishing Pill she had in her mouth and silently waited for her soul power to recover. She had no intention of standing idly by. Moreover, based on her understanding of Ran Xi, the words Ran Xi had just told her were clearly meant for the immortals and enemies below. It wasn't that she was not allowed to help, but rather that she was given some time to prepare. After all, before Ran Xi arrived, she had consumed most of her soul power to deal with the rotating array wheel.
Yunxi truly thought so. She had no intention of fighting alone. She would use every means to kill her enemies, and there was no need to talk about martial ethics with them.
Yunxi was also somewhat surprised. She had just killed one of Jiu Shao's clones, and only three hundred years later, the other party had sent down another clone, and one whose strength was comparable to hers. Jiu Shao was clearly in a hurry.
Yunxi silently calculated that from the beginning of the cultivation world to the ascension to the immortal realm, she had already eliminated seven of Jiu Shao's clones. This was the eighth. If she eliminated this one as well, she would want to see what Jiu Shao would do with only one head left.
So after figuring out the opponent's attack patterns, Yunxi began to use the fight to familiarize herself with the strength of the middle-stage Immortal Lord. She had previously broken through in another Immortal Realm, taking a bite of the Immortal Yuan Power of the Yunming Immortal Realm, and left in a hurry. After returning, she was pulled into the battle.
However, she was dealing with arrays that couldn't dodge, and now she was facing an old adversary, so she naturally had to be cautious, but that didn't stop her from improving her own combat power.
Two figures, one red and one purple, collided, separated, and collided again in the air, so fast that even afterimages could not be seen. Only Di Fei, the Ghost Lord, could see the battle clearly. However, as time passed, Di Fei's brows furrowed.
Because the purple-robed male cultivator's strength was actually rising steadily, having advanced from the middle stage of Immortal Lord to the later stage, and even showing a tendency to break through to the Immortal King stage, Di Fei knew she could no longer stand by and watch. Holding the bone whip in her hand, she teleported into the battle.
Di Fei wielded her bone whip with impenetrable force, finishing off Yun Xi's attacks while also communicating telepathically:
"Ranxi, who is this? How could she break through during a battle? I've never heard of this person in the Immortal Realm before?"
With Di Fei's arrival, Yun Xi's pressure decreased significantly, and she also transmitted her voice:
"He must be an avatar of someone from the Upper Realm. He must have come to the Immortal Realm with great ambitions. I just didn't expect that I, his thorn in the side, would not die and would return at the most critical moment. He will definitely try to kill me. If it weren't for the suppression of the plane, the one above would probably take action personally."
As soon as she finished speaking, her Seven Star Deadly Staff struck again, hitting a wooden throwing knife. A faint cracking sound reached Yun Xi's ears. She curled her lips, knowing that the previous attack had been effective. Now it was just a matter of how long these five throwing knives could last.
Initially, when facing the five throwing knives, she primarily focused on defense. However, once she figured out her opponent's attack patterns, she switched to offense. Intentionally or unintentionally, she aimed most of her attacks at the same spot on all five knives. She was very confident in her Seven Star Deadly Staff; unless Jiu Shao herself came, she would wear down this clone to death, no matter what. Now, her attack strategy was working. The wood-attribute throwing knives were damaged, and their master suffered a backlash, significantly reducing the attack speed of the five elemental throwing knives.
Following the principle of "strike while the iron is hot," Yunxi exchanged a glance with Difei. Difei immediately understood Yunxi's meaning, and the two switched attack positions in a flash, with Difei in front and Yunxi behind.
Di Fei knew that success or failure depended on this moment, so she sent ninety percent of her soul power into the white bone whip in her hand. The next second, the bone whip multiplied into nine, transforming into nine white giant pythons that attacked the purple-robed immortal from all directions.
The purple-robed male immortal manipulated five flying knives to form a knife array once again, blocking Di Fei's full-force attack, and then controlled a fire-attribute flying knife to stab at Di Fei's brow.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before the immortals in the city below could even see what was going on, Yunxi leaped up again, using the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand as a medium to once again draw upon the power of the stars in the sky. The combined attack of the seven stars struck first, piercing through the purple-robed male immortal's dantian and even domineeringly crushing his entire body into a pulp.
At the same time, Di Fei raised her hand and grasped the fire-attribute throwing knife. The knife was only an inch away from her brow, but because of its master's demise, the red light on the throwing knife flickered for a moment and then completely disappeared two breaths later.
Yunxi could see it clearly: a wisp of soul formed within the shattered body and then shot towards Difei, who was holding the throwing knife.
"Hmph! You're still up to no good!"
Yunxi scoffed, and with a flick of her wrist, she used the "Soul-Tethering Silk" to teleport Difei to her side, causing the wisp of soul silk to miss its target and crash straight into a ball of purple flames.
The moment the purple smoke engulfed the opponent, a scream came from the center of the flames, and the purple flames began to thrash left and right, as if something wanted to break out.
Yunxi stared intently at Ziyan, then silently transmitted immortal energy to Xuanlei Ziyan through the contract seal, and instructed:
"Purple smoke, burn this wisp of soul to ashes, leave not even a trace."
"Yes, Master."
With Yunxi's instructions and a sufficient supply of immortal energy, the Xuanlei Ziyan instantly became extremely vigorous, dyeing half of the night sky purple.
Nine Palaces of the Divine Realm
The man, who was sitting cross-legged on a huge array wheel, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsed to the ground, and instantly lost consciousness.
As he fainted, the array beneath him flickered twice and then disappeared. Strange blue-purple patterns immediately appeared on his exposed skin, spreading all over his body. The unconscious man continued to vomit blood, but showed no signs of waking up.
