Li Xuanming had originally appeared where Fu Teng and the rest were. This was where he had placed the talisman. He had assumed that Li Chengfeng would choose to attack the outer perimeter first. This was in line with Li Chengfeng's usual fighting style and mentality. When the enemy was strong and he was weak, he would try his best to move around and weaken the enemy as much as possible. Then, he would bring the battle into an environment that was advantageous to him.
Li Xuanming had analysed Li Chengfeng in detail. He knew that Li Chengfeng's final target was the flag. That was why he had placed the flag at the weakest point of the Mystic Purity Formation, but in reality, he had placed the fifty most elite disciples of Hidden Modesty Court and Mo Yu, who was the strongest in actual combat, at the back. That was his final line of defence.
However, what Li Xuanming did not expect was that although Li Chengfeng's target was indeed the battle flag at the back, he used two feints and powerful immortal arts to trick the selfish and cowardly Fu Teng into leading his disciples into the array. Because he was afraid of paying too high a price, the outer perimeter of the array became an immovable fortress.
But Li Chengfeng was no idiot. Why would he crash into Fu Teng and the others' Blazing Fire Array with no strategic value at all?
This caused Li Xuanming's perfect plan to fail. He had no choice but to escape from the goddess of victory's skirt.
"Li Chengfeng …" Li Xuanming stared at Li Chengfeng from afar. In a flash, he appeared about ten metres behind Li Chengfeng, forming a pincer attack with Mo Yu and the rest.
The disciples who had fled in all directions were overjoyed when they saw Li Xuanming return. They were shocked that the mountain was tilting and about to collapse. If that happened, even Li Chengfeng and Li Xuanming would be smashed into meat paste, let alone these disciples.
They were overjoyed that after Li Xuanming returned, the Hidden Modesty Court disciples immediately regained their fighting spirit, as if they had found a pillar of support.
As long as someone could stop Li Chengfeng from the front, they could use their spells, talismans and magical weapons from the back without fear!
Who wouldn't know how to beat a drowning dog and take advantage of the situation?
Li Xuanming was on high alert when he saw that Li Chengfeng did not try to escape despite being attacked from both the front and the back. Instead, he was smiling at him calmly.
"... Do you think you can still turn the tables?" Li Xuanming stared at Li Chengfeng like a tiger watching its prey.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned. "How would you know if you don't try?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the top of his head. At this moment, the landslide was getting more and more violent. The explosion of the Profound Purity Array had shaken the mountain, causing it to tilt and collapse even more. Large amounts of mountain rocks fell like rain, blasting toward Mo Yu and the others.
Li Chengfeng chuckled. "As for them, if they don't run now, they'll be smashed into meat paste!"
When these disciples saw that Li Xuanming had arrived, they were relieved. They used their Dharma spells and Dharma treasures, gritted their teeth, and held on.
They knew very well that they could resist a landslide, but they could not resist the collapse of the entire mountain. However, they believed that Li Xuanming would definitely have a way!
The battlefield at the foot of Qianning Peak had turned into a boiling pot. The Hidden Modesty Court disciples who had already escaped were at the outermost layer, the injured and unconscious disciples who had been blasted away were at the centre. Further in were the Hidden Modesty Court disciples who had gradually returned after seeing Li Xuanming, as well as Li Xuanming, Mo Yu and the others at the centre.
The entire battlefield had turned into a sandwich, with three layers inside and three layers outside. Above them, there were still falling rocks, the mountain collapsing and the ground cracking like it was the end of the world.
Li Xuanming scanned the collapsing mountain and sneered. "Form the Yellow Black Array!"
Mo Yu immediately yelled, "Form the Yellow Black Array!"
The Hidden Modesty Court disciples reacted immediately, quickly repositioning themselves. The core group of fifty people formed the Yellow Black Array.
Li Chengfeng stared at them, not intending to stop them. Almost all of his attention was on Li Xuanming, because he knew that Li Xuanming was a great enemy. Any carelessness and carelessness would lead to defeat!
Mo Yu led the Hidden Modesty Court disciples to form the Mystical Yellow Formation once again. Then, they immediately relied on the formation to cast their spells. Behind them, stone peaks rose from the ground one after another, stabbing towards the mountain that was getting more and more slanted. It was as if giant hands were growing out of the ground, supporting the falling mountain halfway up the mountain.
Li Chengfeng was helpless against this sudden change. He had no way to deal with it.
His immortal spells could only be used in certain special places and environments. He used the vigorous growth of plants and flowers to forcefully split the mountain. It looked terrifying but in fact, he was using the principle of leverage.
Without this leverage, Li Chengfeng would not have been able to cause any damage to the mountain, let alone break it!
Now that Li Xuanming was facing a powerful enemy, Mo Yu and the rest controlled the Yellow Heaven Array to support the tilting mountain, preventing it from continuing to fall. Li Chengfeng did not have the ability to destroy the stone pillars created by the Yellow Heaven Array, because he could not attack Li Xuanming with the Setting Sun Spear, nor could he control his immortal energy to attack the stone pillars.
The reason was very simple. Flowers, plants, and trees could move freely in the soil, but they couldn't do anything to the dense, hard, and seamless rocks.
Li Xuanming stared at Li Chengfeng as he slowly recovered his True Yuan. "Li Chengfeng, you're finished!
Admit defeat! "
Li Chengfeng snickered. "Dream on!"
With that, Li Chengfeng stomped on the ground and charged towards Li Xuanming like a cannonball. The Setting Sun Spear in his hand swung nine times, the tip of the spear falling like a shower of stars. At first glance, it was as if there were spear tips everywhere, dazzling everyone.
This was the ultimate technique of the Moon Cleansing Spear Technique: 'Nine Moons in the Sky'!
At his peak, the founder, Li Yue, could make nine thrusts in an instant. Each thrust could be a real spear, so he could make nine thrusts at the same time, achieving nine times the attack power!
However, following the decline of the Cleansing Moon Sect, no one was able to make nine real spear strikes from the peak of the "Nine Moons in the Sky". Being able to make three or four of the nine spear strikes was already their peak.
Li Chengfeng had trained hard for many years, but he could only make two thrusts in an extremely short period of time. To the naked eye, it looked like he had made two thrusts at the same time.
Even so, it was terrifying!
Those who were less experienced would have been stunned by this attack, panicking and not knowing what to do.
However, Li Xuanming was an experienced fighter. He completely ignored Li Chengfeng's ferocious attack, allowing Li Chengfeng to attack him.
Li Chengfeng ignored the Setting Sun Spear in front of him, quickly activating his sword qi. The Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand exploded in an instant, two swords forming a cross slash. This was his ultimate technique: Heaven Reversal Slash!
This technique was both offensive and defensive, a technique that could decide life or death in a critical moment. No matter what attack the opponent used, once he used this technique, either the opponent would collapse, or he would be defeated!
Li Chengfeng instantly felt the sword qi rushing towards him. The violent sword qi enveloped his entire body. If he continued to stab with his spear, he would be sent flying by the sword qi before he could even hit his opponent. Even if he didn't die, he would be heavily injured!
Li Chengfeng immediately retracted his spear and spun it in his hand. The violent Immortal Qi formed a wall in front of him. When it collided with the sword qi, Li Chengfeng was sent flying.
Mo Yu and the rest immediately attacked Li Chengfeng, controlling the array. The sharp stone pillars on the ground shot up into the sky. If Li Chengfeng fell, he would be pierced through!
Almost at the same time, Li Xuanming's feet suddenly shook. A giant green python suddenly burrowed out of the ground and swallowed Li Xuanming into its' stomach '.
Grand Senior Sister, Ouyang Xiu, and the rest were watching intently from afar, secretly guessing that the two elites of the Spiritual Mountain Sect had both used their trump cards and were both hit. But they didn't know who would be the first to make the final move!
