The Da Lou Sword Sect's Shi Fang and the short elder looked at each other. At this moment, the short elder suddenly reached out and the white-robed man beside Qian Qin let out a scream. His body was involuntarily grabbed by an invisible force and thrown into the valley.
As soon as this person entered the valley, an ear-piercing sound that seemed to pierce through the nine heavens suddenly reverberated in the valley. In the blink of an eye, a large number of red dots appeared in the countless withered leaves and weeds on the ground. These red dots were densely packed together and looked extremely terrifying at first glance.
"Senior apprentice brother!!"
Qian Qin's body trembled. She turned around and looked at the people from the Da Lou Sword Sect. She shouted, "Senior, why are you doing this?!"
Just as Gan Qin's words left her mouth, the densely packed red dots that blotted out the sky and covered the earth suddenly moved. They actually turned into a large red cloud, emitting a violent buzzing sound, and directly pounced towards the white-robed young man who had been thrown into the valley.
It was so fast that it was like a red lightning cloud. In the blink of an eye, it surrounded the young man in white. At this moment, aside from the two Da Lou Sword Sect elders, a scene that shocked everyone outside the valley appeared before everyone's eyes.
Countless red dots pierced through the white-robed young man's clothes and entered his body through his skin. In less than three breaths of time, the white-robed young man was covered in blood.
Waves of exceptionally mournful screams continued to be emitted from his mouth. The intense pain caused this person to continuously use his hands to scratch the skin all over his body. Many deep claw marks could be seen all over this person's body.
His body rapidly rolled on the ground of the valley as he struggled. His eyes were filled with deep despair and unimaginable hatred.
"Senior apprentice brother …" Gan Qin's body trembled and she revealed a bitter smile.
At this moment, almost all of the red dots in the valley appeared and entered the white-robed young man's body. His eyes gradually dimmed and his screams became weaker.
This scene happened extremely quickly. However, it left a huge impact on the crowd, causing their expressions to turn ugly.
Guo Xingyi clenched the sword in his hand. After pondering for a bit, he looked at Qian Qin with a hint of killing intent.
"Today's matter was caused by me. If senior apprentice brother Qian Qin didn't die, then there wouldn't be any hatred between us, but now …"
As for the woman who called Guo Xingyi "senior apprentice brother," her face was pale. She covered her mouth and felt like vomiting. Her body was trembling; she was clearly scared by this scene.
Only the blue-robed man who was flattering Guo Xingyi didn't show any signs of discomfort. Instead, he looked at the scene in the valley with an intoxicated expression.
The Da Lou Sword Sect elder Shi Fang faintly smiled and said to the short elder beside him, "Looks like we don't need to kill anymore. This person has already attracted most of the Nine Li Insects into his body."
The short elder let out a hoarse laugh and said, "Brother Shi's restriction spells are the most suitable here, so don't hold back. After we take the Brilliant Golden Fruit, we still need to report back to the Sword Sect!"
Shi Fang laughed. Without another word, he slapped his bag of holding and a red jade slip appeared in his hand. He twisted his left hand into the shape of a sword and pointed at the jade slip. He said softly, "Master, you're going to die.
He pointed at the jade and softly said, "Sword Sealing Restriction!
Open! "
After he spoke, the jade let out a buzzing sound and flew out of his hand. It was like a ray of red light that charged into the valley.
The moment the jade entered the valley, the buzzing sound from it became even louder. At the same time, red threads came out from the jade. After a rumble, the jade began to move strangely. In the blink of an eye, the speed at which it moved increased until it seemed to melt. It turned into countless red threads that spread out and charged toward the struggling man in white on the ground.
The red threads were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived before the white-robed man. However, they did not enter his body. Instead, the threads connected to each other and quickly spread out, forming a red net that completely surrounded the white-robed man and the area around him.
At this moment, the Da Lou Sword Sect elder Shi Fang's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Seal!"
As soon as the word "seal" left his mouth, the red net immediately flickered with red lightning. Crackling sounds rang out as countless red lightning runes appeared on the red net. They were densely packed together, forming an extremely tight seal.
After doing all this, the short old man stepped into the valley first. The moment he entered the valley, whistling sounds came from the withered grass on the ground, and soon after, another wave of red dots charged out. However, there were not many of them.
The short old man's expression was calm as he raised his right hand and flicked his fingers. Every time he flicked his finger, a ray of sword energy would appear and dissipate a large amount of red dots.
In reality, if there were a little more Nine Li Insects, it would be a little troublesome for the short elder to deal with them given his cultivation. However, there were barely any Nine Li Insects left. Thus, it was naturally extremely easy for him to deal with them.
The Da Lou Sword Sect elder Shi Fang's body moved and floated into the valley. With his help, aside from the Nine Li insects that were sealed inside the white-robed man's body, all of the insects outside dissipated in a few breaths of time.
The third person to enter the valley was Guo Xingyi's martial uncle, the old man at the Soul Formation Stage. After him were the others. As for Qian Qin, the anger on her face had disappeared and was replaced with a terrifying calmness.
The short old man sent out one last ray of sword energy to destroy the remaining Nine Li insects. His eyes lit up and his gaze fell on the large patch of golden flowers a few dozen feet away.
"Lu Songyi, go pick the Brilliant Golden Fruit!" The short old man's voice was filled with a sense of majesty that couldn't be refused.
This Lu Songyi was the Soul Formation old man. After hearing the elder's words, he immediately nodded and was about to go pick the Brilliant Golden Fruit.
However, just at this moment, a gust of wind blew in from outside the valley. There was nothing special about this wind; it only created the sound of leaves rustling.
However, when this wind blew on the Da Lou Sword Sect elder Shi Fang and the short old man, their expressions changed like never before!
Shi Fang suddenly turned around. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at the outside of the valley. As for the short old man, his expression immediately darkened. He placed his right hand on his bag of holding and his eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared outside of the valley.
Their actions immediately caused the aura in the valley to change. In an instant, a desolate killing intent enveloped the surroundings.
As a result, the old man named Lu, who was about to pick the Brilliant Golden Fruit, stopped and revealed a look of shock.
As for the others, they were the same. Only the woman, Qian Qin, remained calm as she stared at the white-robed man who was no longer struggling on the ground. It was obvious that he was already dead. She remained silent, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Shi Fang pondered a bit and shouted, "Fellow cultivator, don't try to fool me. I'm the Da Lou Sword Sect's elder Shi Fang. I hope fellow cultivator can come out and speak!"
He and the short old man looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
In the instant that the wind had blown over, he had immediately sensed that the feeling he had felt ever since he had entered the Earth Devil North Region had suddenly increased by countless times. It was as if he had sensed that there was a beast far off in the distance, but then the feeling suddenly changed, as if the beast was right in front of him.
This sudden change caused the hearts of Shi Fang and the short old man to shake violently.
A thick, grey gas slowly appeared outside the valley. This grey gas was so thick that it was impossible to see what was inside. It floated outside the valley and stopped.
The moment the grey gas appeared, Shi Fang's expression became extremely ugly.
The short old man's expression was gloomy as he said, word for word, "Who are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to reply. He let out a roar and touched his bag of holding, causing a bronze mirror to appear in his hand. He threw the mirror into the air and it grew until it was three feet tall. It gave off bursts of green light that surrounded the grey gas.
At the instant the short old man took out his treasure, Shi Fang, who had worked together with him for many years, didn't hesitate at all. He immediately formed a seal with his hands and the sword on his back flew out. It hovered above his head and an illusory sword image that was 100 feet long appeared on it.
Shi Fang shouted, "Cut!"
The moment Elder Fang attacked, the Soul Formation cultivator, Lu Songyi, charged toward the Brilliant Golden Fruit like lightning. After all, he had cultivated for a long time and knew how to seize opportunities. At this moment, he wasn't far from the Brilliant Golden Fruit, so he arrived before it in a flash.
The light from the bronze mirror was like a prison that shrouded the grey gas. At the same time, Shi Fang's sword seemed to come from the heavens as it descended. Before the sword even landed, the sound of the sword piercing through the air echoed across the world.
The Da Lou Sword Sect was famous for their swords, so the power of their swords was not weak.
However!
The instant the Sword Qi slashed down, the gray gas suddenly moved. This movement was like a stampede of ten thousand horses, like a raging wave. In an instant, the gray gas suddenly rushed forward. In an instant, it broke through everything and filled the entire valley.
As it charged forward, a cold voice came from within the grey gas.
"How can the light of a firefly compete with the light of the moon?!"
The voice was cold and indifferent. When it landed in everyone's ears, it caused everyone's hearts to tremble. The azure light that covered the grey aura instantly collapsed and turned into countless azure marks that dissipated into the surroundings.
The copper mirror in the air began to emit cracking sounds. Bang!
Shi Fang's sword collapsed!
