As the sole disciple of the Xuanji Sect, Xuan Yao was knowledgeable about astronomy, geography, astrology, divination, feng shui, and array formations. He could be said to be a 'charlatan' that Ling Xiao called.
He wasn't adept at combat, but it didn't mean that he could be taken advantage of.
Apart from the hundred-man array formation, he also had the five Heavenly Venerables' minor Five Elements Formation, which was used to protect himself.
The five of them might only have the strength of high-level Heavenly Venerables, but the five elements mutually reinforced and restrained each other. The power that they emitted was enough to kill a low-tier Mystic Thearch and could even resist the might of a mid-tier Mystic Thearch.
It was just that Liu Xu wasn't an ordinary mid-tier Mystic Thearch. He had the ability to transcend cultivation realms and was determined to kill Xuan Yao.
Rumble!
The Five Elements Shield formed by the five Heavenly Venerables cracked under Liu Xu's Nine Suns Sky Burning Fist. Fortunately, it didn't dissipate immediately.
The five Heavenly Venerables' mouths were overflowing with blood as they barely managed to block this move.
"Five Elements Sword!"
The five Heavenly Venerables gritted their teeth as five surges of energy surged again, forming a five-colored giant sword that slashed at Liu Xu.
"Light of Cocoon Fire, break for me!" Liu Xu yelled out and clasped his hands together. The two suns came down together and smashed at the giant sword.
Bang!
The five-colored giant sword might have the power of a mid-tier Mystic Thearch, but it was still insufficient in front of Liu Xu, who was a formidable mid-tier Mystic Thearch. It was directly smashed into pieces.
The five Heavenly Venerables were smashed in different directions as fresh blood spurted out.
Liu Xu didn't chase after the five Heavenly Venerables. He revealed a sinister smile and said, "Haha, dog-headed Military Advisor, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
Liu Xu's killing intent surged as he struck at Xuan Yao. The giant sun emitted intense heat as though it was going to burn Xuan Yao alive.
Xuan Yao wanted to retreat, but he was only a high-level Heavenly Venerate. How could his speed be compared to a mid-tier Mystic Thearch?
Just as the sun was about to drown Xuan Yao, two shouts echoed. "Don't you dare to hurt the Military Advisor!"
As these two voices fell, a powerful force immediately blasted Liu Xu's Brilliant Sun Fire far away.
Liu Xu's eyes twitched. He didn't even look at the newcomer and immediately turned to run. He could sense that the newcomer was definitely not ordinary.
Xuan Yao dodged a bullet and immediately looked at the people who had come. His face was filled with joy. "Damn, I thought you two wouldn't come. Quick … quick, get someone to catch the traitor. He tried to assassinate Yunfeng!"
Surprisingly, it was Hua Xiaogui and Tang Guode, and there were 3 old men by their side. 2 of the old men were mid-rank Saints while the last was at the peak of the low-rank Saint Realm.
It had to be said that their master had taken great care of them. He had used three Saints at once. This was a special honor that no disciple had ever enjoyed before!
"What? Yun Feng was assassinated?!" Hua Xiaogui and Tang Guode cried out in alarm.
"Damn it, Elder Chen, I'll have to trouble you to capture that bastard!" Hua Xiao roared furiously.
The low rank Saint didn't say anything and immediately flashed towards Liu Xu.
"Advisor, where is boss?" Tang Linggang asked Xuan Yao.
Xuan Yao shook his head and said, "He hasn't returned yet. The ladies are fighting in front. Let's save Yun Feng first. He was stabbed by a spear, so he might still be able to be saved!"
"Elder Qian Tong, I'll have to trouble you!" Tang Guode turned to look at a robust old man and begged.
The round-faced old man faintly said, "My mission is to protect you two brats. There are quite a few people lying in ambush around here. If we move, they will definitely make a move. Wait for me to find these people first, so that we don't know what's going on when we get ambushed."
After saying that, he glanced in a few directions. His fingers trembled slightly and a few rays of light shot towards the distance. At the same time, he shouted, "Friends who are watching the show, sacrifice yourself. This old man is the Spiritual Martial Pavilion's Qian Tong!"
Elder Qian Tong's voice reverberated like a morning bell in a grave.
As soon as his voice fell, several people walked out from three directions.
These three groups of people were the five Saints of the Black Demon Sect and the three Saints of the Heaven Slaying Organization who had been lying in ambush. The last group of people was the Ghost Ghost Sect. There were a total of four Saints.
The Black Demon Sect's appearance was reasonable. They were the closest to the Proud Smiling Palace and had been waiting for the two sides to suffer losses before making their move to pick up Ping Yi.
As for the members of the Heaven Slaying Organization, they had yet to reveal themselves. That was because they were experts in concealment, waiting for their opponents to be distracted before dealing a fatal blow. However, this group of people had just arrived. Otherwise, they would definitely help the Ouyang Clan to surround and kill Han Kai and the others.
The four Saints of Gui Zong You had arrived long ago. They were invited by the Gu Clan to help. Like the Black Demon Sect, they wanted to pick up Ping Yi. At the same time, they wanted to prevent the Feng Clan and the Dongfang Clan from coming to the rescue.
A total of twelve Saints had appeared, while the Proud Smiling Palace only had three Saints. This situation made the people of the Proud Smiling Palace feel hopeless.
Following the appearance of these Saints, the people fighting below immediately retreated back to their respective camps.
The Ouyang Clan had more than thirty thousand people. More than half of them were dead or injured. The Proud Smiling Palace had more than twenty thousand people.
Now that the Saints had appeared, there was no point in continuing to fight like this. They just had to wait for the Saints of both sides to decide the victor, and then they would know who was the winner.
Now that all the reinforcements of the Ouyang Clan had arrived, the Proud Smiling Palace was obviously at a disadvantage.
However, the participation of the Martial Spirit Court made them worry.
Ye Yunfeng, who had been stabbed, was carried back by his companions.
He was the brother of the Palace Master. Even if he was dead, they had to bring him back.
At the same time, Liu Xu, who had escaped, was caught. His whole body had been beaten by the Saint. His eyes were full of resentment.
He regretted killing Xuan Yao. If he had escaped earlier, he would not have been caught. He was not reconciled!
There was no medicine for regret in this world. The winner takes all, and the loser takes all.
The Saints who were fighting tens of thousands of miles in the sky also split up and returned to their own camps.
Han Kai was fine, but his face was extremely pale. He was panting and his clothes were torn. It was obvious that he was fighting two people at the same time.
Mad Tooth, on the other hand, had many wounds. His body was covered with Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron. His murderous aura did not relax, and he was still shouting, "I will kill you, you bastard!"
The two Saints that Han Kai had invited were not dead, but they were seriously injured. Blood was flowing out of their wounds, and their breathing was unstable. When they stopped, they quickly took out some medicinal pills to recover.
On the Ouyang Clan's side, Ouyang Xiao and a low-level Saint were fighting Han Kai to a draw. However, Ouyang Xiao was confident that if the fight lasted a little longer, he would definitely be able to kill Han Kai.
If not for the fact that Han Kai's cultivation level was higher than his, the fight would not have dragged on for so long.
Ouyang Zhen was fighting Mad Tooth, and he was also seriously injured. Mad Tooth's fighting style was too desperate. Every move he made hurt the enemy 800 times and himself 1000 times, so he had to be careful.
On the other hand, Gu Lei was fighting Han Kai's friend, Mo Lin. He had the upper hand and was not injured.
He was a thunder-attribute cultivator, and his battle prowess was rarely matched within the same level. Mo Lin was a wood-attribute cultivator, so how could he block his violent attacks? If he had more time, he would definitely be able to kill Mo Lin.
The Gu Clan's low-level Saint, Gu Mo, was fighting with Han Kai's other friend. Both of them were seriously injured.
The opposing Spirit Beasts were also fighting fiercely. Almost all of them were heavily injured, and blood flowed out of their wounds.
The only ones who had the upper hand were Han Kai's Fire Cloud Roc and Mad Tooth's Four-Horned Demon Cow. Both of them were high-level Spirit Beasts, and their battle prowess was quite high. On the other hand, Ouyang Zhen's Golden Leopard and Gu Lei's Thunder Flood Dragon were powerful. The other Spirit Beasts were also fighting fiercely.
All the Saints and eighth-grade Spirit Beasts had stopped fighting, but there were still some Spirit Beasts that were unwilling to give up.
A pitch-black serpent hurriedly swooped down from the Nine Heavens. Its body was covered in blood, and one part of its tail had been bitten off. It seemed like it was trying to escape from its opponent.
A dragon turtle the size of a mountain descended from the sky, and its loud voice reverberated, "Stinky worm, don't run! Grandpa Turtle is going to peel off your face!"
"Master, save me!" the black serpent pleaded to its master, Myriad Viper.
Myriad Viper frowned. He raised his hand, and two black fists smashed towards the dragon turtle.
A light screen appeared in front of the dragon turtle, and it directly blocked the two black fists. The turtle opened its mouth, and several water columns transformed into thousands of sharp blades, which shot towards Myriad Viper.
A Saint artifact appeared in Myriad Viper's hand. With a loud roar, he shattered the water pillars one by one. However, he was still sent flying back tens of meters by the powerful rebounding force. Even his aura became slightly chaotic.
"What a powerful force!" Myriad Viper exclaimed in his heart.
He was already a high-level Saint, but he didn't gain the upper hand in a head-on clash with the dragon turtle. Instead, he was at a disadvantage. It was evident how powerful the dragon turtle was.
The dragon turtle didn't care about its opponent's numbers. It actually charged towards the dozen Saints and eighth-grade Spirit Beasts, and it seemed to have the spirit of fighting against a group of enemies.
Luo Meiying had no choice but to order, "Dragon turtle, come back!"
Only then did the dragon turtle stop and reluctantly retreated. It was still saying, "Stinky worm, just you wait. Grandpa Turtle is going to swallow you alive!"
Everyone looked at the mighty dragon turtle and lamented in their hearts, "What a powerful Spirit Beast!"
Based on the current situation, no matter if it was a Saint or a Spirit Beast, the most powerful one was definitely the dragon turtle.
Even a high-level eighth-grade Venomous Snake couldn't hurt it at all, and it was even bitten until it was severely injured.
When they noticed that this dragon turtle was only a middle-stage Mystic Thearch female's protective Spirit Beast, they were even more astonished.
Why did this woman have such a powerful Spirit Beast as her bodyguard?
Both sides temporarily stopped fighting, but the Ouyang Clan still had the upper hand.
If the Proud Smiling Palace didn't have strong reinforcements, it would most likely be a disaster.
