Chapter 1591
The Great Battle
Li Zhirui's sudden attack caught even Xuanxian Lu Wanli, who was standing in the army, off guard. He didn't even have time to stop the attack before he saw the celestial being's life force vanish.
This unexpected turn of events terrified the group of cultivators, who were all on edge. Some even secretly mobilized their magical power to activate their defensive magic treasures.
I don't expect to be able to stop the Xuanxian's attack, but at least don't end up like this, not even having time to react to death.
"Your methods are quite impressive."
Lu Wanli said with a gloomy expression, "But I'm afraid it will be difficult to save my own life."
Killing someone right under his nose was tantamount to being slapped hard in the face in public. How could he swallow this insult?
"I do admire your courage."
Li Zhirui asked in a calm tone, "Why do you think you are stronger than me and can kill me?"
While one's aura cannot determine a person's true strength, it still has considerable reference value as an assessment tool.
In his view, the other party's aura was not only not stronger than his, but was actually slightly weaker.
"Who said I'm the only one fighting this battle?"
Lu Wanli revealed a strange smile, then turned to the side and said, "Brother Zhang, things have come to this point, why don't you show yourself? It would be good to resolve this matter quickly."
"Brother Lu, you're in a bit too much of a hurry. Why reveal my whereabouts so early?"
In the crowd, an inconspicuous Immortal cultivator quickly stepped out of the crowd and came to the front, standing side by side with Lu Wanli.
And his aura was completely revealed.
He was also a powerful Xuanxian (mysterious immortal) expert, and his aura was even stronger.
"My name is Zhang Daoyan."
His words exuded confidence.
Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow. No wonder the other party was so confident; it turned out there was a second Xuanxian, and his strength seemed quite formidable as well.
Li Qiankun and the other elders and disciples of the Tongtian Sect looked worried. They could clearly see that with their sect leader fighting two opponents, they were now at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, considering the overall picture, the opposing side possesses dozens of celestial beings, making them far superior to them.
In an instant, an atmosphere of despair and fear quickly spread throughout Dengxian Mountain.
"There's no need to worry so much. These people alone are no match for the mountain-protecting formation." Li Zhirui noticed the change in the emotions of the people behind him, frowned slightly, but still patiently reassured them.
"Ah!"
Lu Wanli sneered and said, "Even now, you're still so stubborn, unwilling to admit that you're inferior to us and not a match for us?"
"A life-or-death battle, do you think you can decide the outcome with just a few words?" Li Zhirui shook his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes. The more the other party acted this way, the more he appeared to be outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.
Perhaps his disdain was too obvious, for he immediately shouted, "Then why don't you dare to come out and fight?"
"Then so be it!"
The next instant, Li Zhirui flew straight out, facing Lu Wanli and Zhang Daoyan.
'Proceed according to plan!'
Before he left, he specifically reminded Li Qiankun that he should only go out to fight after confirming that there were no problems.
Upon seeing the two, he didn't waste any words and immediately attacked, sending out two green vines that aimed directly at their vital points.
"Such methods are not something you should use to embarrass yourself." Lu Wanli curled his lips, full of disdain. With a thought, a flame appeared in front of him, attempting to burn the two green vines.
But to his surprise, it didn't work!
The green vines continued their aggressive advance and had already closed in on the two of them.
He attacked again, and although he showed no fear, he gave the impression of being enraged.
Fortunately, Lu Wanli got serious this time and successfully burned the attack; otherwise, he would have really lost face.
After this test, Li Zhirui realized his strength; he was no match for him at all. If he were alone, defeating him wouldn't be a problem, but killing him would be more difficult.
As for Zhang Daoyan standing next to him, since he hasn't made a move yet, we can't quite gauge his strength.
Although he did not feel threatened by this person, thanks to his previous concealment methods, perhaps he is still hiding a lot of strength?
In short, Li Zhirui remained quite wary of him.
A thousand thoughts flash by in an instant.
Facing the battle between two Xuanxian, he naturally dared not be distracted in the slightest.
"Brother Zhang, let's all attack together and kill this man quickly!" Lu Wanli shouted impatiently.
"Great!"
Zhang Daoyan nodded in agreement, his inner power surged, and a white light flashed, as if he had directly traversed space and appeared in front of Li Zhirui.
Ding!
However, thanks to the defense of his natal magic weapon, which he had activated at some unknown time, this surprise attack had no effect.
Moreover, its power was mediocre; the defensive aura only caused a slight ripple, but it quickly subsided.
But Li Zhirui's expression did not become more relaxed; instead, it became even more serious.
Because at the point where the white light was activated, he keenly sensed a life-threatening threat, but when the attack landed on the defensive aura, its power was quite weak. Such a strange change made him feel that this person's methods were probably not simple!
'With a major battle imminent, why is he still hiding his strength? What exactly is he plotting?'
A hint of doubt flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes, and alarm bells rang in his mind. He became even more wary of this mysterious cultivator.
"I beg Brother Zhang to cover me while I capture this man!"
At this moment, Lu Wanli burst out excitedly, making it impossible for him to continue considering the matter.
Although he looked down on him, the other party was still a Xuanxian, and his strength was not as bad as he said. Therefore, Li Zhirui still had to be on his guard and deal with the attack carefully to avoid being caught off guard.
Rumbling--
To be fair, Lu Wanli did possess some skill. With a single move, a raging sea of fire erupted, resembling an endless stream of ferocious fire beasts that relentlessly pounced upon him.
Li Zhirui is more skilled in wood-based magic, but that doesn't mean he's less proficient in water-based magic. On the contrary, he's only slightly less skilled in water-based magic.
He made hand seals, and his magical power surged forth. In an instant, a torrential downpour began, as if he had torn a hole in the sky and the Milky Way was pouring down.
In the Five Elements, water overcomes fire, but the water and fire created by the two using their supernatural powers are not ordinary things. While the theory of the Five Elements certainly exists, its effects are not as powerful.
sizzle-
The battle between the flames and the torrential rain instantly evaporated a large amount of water vapor, forming a thick fog that enveloped the surrounding area.
It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and for some unknown reason, it even had the effect of hindering and suppressing divine sense, making it impossible for either side to find the other's location.
Seeing this golden opportunity, Zhang Daoyan, who was overseeing the battle, was naturally eager to seize it. He immediately made a decisive move, his ten fingers moving in rapid succession, and streaks of white light shot out.
Although he couldn't see Li Zhirui's location, it didn't matter. As long as the attack range was large enough, he would eventually hit him!
Moreover, he remembered the opponent's previous location, so he was at least 60% confident of hitting him.
If he succeeds just once, he can immediately escape from this calamity!
Thinking of this, Zhang Daoyan couldn't help but show a look of excitement and anticipation on his face. Li Zhirui, shrouded in thick fog, immediately sensed the danger approaching from all sides and unhesitatingly summoned his natal magic weapon. At the same time, just in case, he added several more defensive measures.
bang bang bang-
The sudden attack made him tense up, and the attacks were continuous. If he hadn't been well prepared, the situation would probably have become very troublesome.
Because all the defensive divine abilities he had used before are now completely shattered!
Damn it!
Li Zhirui's face darkened. He realized that he had underestimated Zhang Daoyan. This man's strength and methods were definitely not simple, and he might still be hiding his true strength.
In order to change this passive situation, he took the initiative to resolve the fog.
Ultimately, isn't this fog just water?
At the same time, facing a situation where he was outnumbered two to one, Li Zhirui did not give up. Instead, he became even more excited and expectant, wanting to know if he could be a match for the two of them.
"Die!"
Lu Wanli roared, interrupting his thoughts. He looked up and saw a ray of light rapidly attacking him.
Zhang Daoyan, who was overseeing the attack, did not miss this golden opportunity and launched another attack.
"Good timing!"
Li Zhirui said with a sigh that he also wanted to take this opportunity to test his own strength.
The three immortals clashed again. Compared to their previous probing attempts, this time they truly wanted to eliminate each other and use each other as stepping stones to escape their tribulations.
Their battle was not as terrifying or brutal as outsiders imagined; on the contrary, it was quite restrained, unlike a battle between immortals.
If those celestial cultivators were put in there, they would probably become skeletons in no time.
As time went by, the two sides were locked in a protracted struggle, expending much of their magical power, yet the victor remained elusive.
"Hahaha, you're not strong enough!"
Lu Wanli realized this and immediately burst into laughter, as if victory was just around the corner.
-
at the same time.
Another battlefield.
"You should not resist stubbornly. If you ask me, you should surrender your numbers as soon as possible so that you can be reincarnated quickly. Otherwise, if too many living beings die in a while, you will have to wait in the underworld."
A celestial being offered a seemingly kind suggestion, but the murderous intent and chilling aura in his words sent shivers down one's spine.
"That's right. Maybe we can even guide you into the Dao and be called your teachers."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The army of cultivators burst into laughter, their mockery and ridicule undisguised.
"Damn it! You're courting death!"
The disciples were not very old and still retained some of the impulsiveness of youth. They immediately cursed, "Today, I will make sure you never leave here alive!"
"Oh? With your meager strength, you dare to take our lives? That's utterly laughable."
Whether it was those dozens of celestial immortals or cultivators of other realms, they all scoffed at this claim, not believing that the Tongtian Sect, these ants, possessed such power.
"Then just you wait and see!"
Li Qiankun secretly instructed several disciples, saying, "Once I detonate the underground formation and cause chaos among the crowd, immediately activate the Thunder Orbs, talismans, and other spiritual objects. Seize the opportunity to kill as many cultivators as possible."
The reason for this instruction is that the other party is not stupid and cannot stand still and wait for the spirit to fall into the ground. Therefore, the spirit can only play its greatest role when there is chaos!
"Yes!"
The dozen or so disciples exchanged glances, their hearts brimming with barely suppressed excitement.
"All disciples, prepare yourselves!"
Rumbling--
The next instant, a deafening explosion spread from the earth, but most importantly, it caused chaos among the army of cultivators!
"Let's do it!"
But before they could calm down, Li Qiankun gave a cold shout, and dozens of beams of spiritual light shot out and landed beside them.
"Damn it! This is bad!"
Even from a mere glimpse, the celestial being was terrified and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone be careful! Defend with all your might!"
Many cultivators heard it but didn't react, and many others didn't even hear what he was saying. Only a very few cultivators reacted immediately.
Boom boom boom!
The next instant, a series of terrifying explosions occurred, shaking people to their core and making it impossible to find peace.
After the attack subsided, when the Tongtian Sect disciples looked at the army of cultivators again, they were pleasantly surprised to find that less than one in ten had survived!
Moreover, almost all of those who survived were celestial beings; even if a few weren't, it could be said that they were extremely lucky.
It should be noted that the Tongtian Sect had prepared dozens of different Celestial Immortal-level spiritual artifacts for this attack, each of which was extremely powerful. Now that they were put together, they collided and produced an even more exaggerated power.
"Utterly shameless! You actually resorted to such shameless means, it's truly despicable!" Some of the surviving Celestial Immortal cultivators said hatefully.
"Ah!"
Li Qiankun scoffed and said, "Why can't it be used?"
"You have gathered a large force to wage war, with dozens of Celestial Immortals, far superior to my Tongtian Sect. Why didn't you consider this? Now that you are inferior in skill, you come to accuse us of being utterly shameless. What about you?"
"We have not relied on any external objects..."
At this point, Li Qiankun was too lazy to pay any attention to them; talking to them was simply a waste of breath.
"Make your move and spare their lives too!"
Now there's no need to use Celestial Immortal-level spiritual artifacts anymore, because they only survived by chance and are carrying rather serious injuries, making them no match for them at all.
The Tongtian Sect does have a few Celestial Immortals; with them providing support and the other cultivators joining forces, they could easily kill all of these people.
"You just wait!"
He left behind a harsh remark and fled in a sorry state.
"Hahahahaha..."
The disciples couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, their previously tense minds were finally able to relax a bit.
"Sect Leader, is the great battle over?" a disciple suddenly asked.
Li Qiankun was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "It's not up to us to decide; it depends on the situation on the sect leader's side." (End of Chapter)
