A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 328: Chapter 288: Outmatched

With a single word ”Scram,” Lu Qian incited Master Fengfeng’s anger to the point of bursting, his vision going dark with rage, his entire body trembling.

He unleashed his spiritual power, killing intent soaring to the sky, ready to chase after Lu Qian!

The Xuanguang Sect’s Second Elder hurriedly shouted, ”Zhenren! The greater picture is what’s important!”

If Master Fengfeng were to leave for even a moment now, they’d all be slaughtered by Master Yeguang, so how could they continue this battle?

Master Fengfeng had no choice but to swallow his anger, his features twisting, eyes burning, he shouted, ”Lu Qian, I will kill you!”

Hee Yangchen, fighting desperately within the array, stumbled, unable to maintain his stealth state, surrounded and furiously attacked by enemies. As he fled desperately, he gazed incredulously at the direction Lu Qian’s group was leaving, nearly spitting out old blood.

How did the situation reverse like this in just a moment!

Just moments ago, I was still dreaming of taking over as Sect Leader after the battle, only to be slapped awake instantly.

Lu Qian helped him accumulate merits, and it was Lu Qian who smashed his Sect Leader dreams with a single blow!

Lu Qian, damn you, I truly regret ever knowing you!

But the Fifth Elder, upon witnessing this, surprisingly did not gloat but felt a sense of shared misery.

Well, now we’re both in the same sorry state, damned if either of us can laugh at the other.

The Xuanguang Sect Leader, perhaps this position is cursed.

But most crucially, it’s not about how people feel, but rather with Lu Qian and his group retreating carelessly, lacking a Foundation Establishment Feathered Scholar to lead, Sanshan County seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and the chaotic Chongming County army’s flank completely collapsed!

Even with Master Fengfeng urgently reallocating reinforcements, it was too late.

The battle situation worsened instantly, in Master Fengfeng’s heart, he had already torn Lu Qian to pieces, tortured and killed him a thousand times.

...

In Lingsha City, within Master Xuan Ji’s Five Elements Grand Array, Han Wen and Zhang Hansong barged in violently.

The moment Han Wen and Zhang Hansong launched an attack on Master Xuan Ji, Han Wen suddenly cried out in pain! An inexplicable, indescribable aura entwined his Dantian Spirit Flower, tightening like a giant python.

A suffocating feeling staggered him a few steps, nearly causing him to fall. It was Zhang Hansong’s quick reflexes that caught him.

Han Wen had betrayed the non-aggression pact, the Dao Heart Oath backlash had struck!

From this day onward, whenever Han Wen attempts to advance his cultivation, the Dao Heart backlash will strike, he shall never progress in cultivation!

Zhang Hansong sighed, ”Leader, is this truly worth it for Lingsha City?”

Han Wen shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his face.

For the city, it’s not worth it. But for her, it is.

Seizing this opportunity, Master Xuan Ji suddenly activated the array. He couldn’t use the Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist, and ordinary concealment methods were useless against Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, so he unleashed an attack straight away.

”This old man never thought in this lifetime, he could still stand against two Foundation Establishment Feathered Scholars, good, good, good!”

In an instant, a golden spear wrapped in flames, the heavy yet sharp Great Gold Qi Blade, the resilient and swift Spirit Wood Snake Vine, the fiercely lashing Heavy Water Flow Whip... Master Xuan Ji opened his Consciousness Collection fully, burning all Spirit Stones in his arms to supply power. Various Double Transformations came crashing down on the two.

But Zhang Hansong merely sneered coldly, a flash of light radiated from his arms, and the Array Formation Realm roared open as a grand array rapidly erected.

Within the formation, the three lights oscillated, dividing into the three forms of sun, moon, and stars. The blazing sun shone, flames rolled, the moon wheel was bright, cold frost condensed, stars twinkled intensely, its transformation speed was incredibly fast, it was the Sun, Moon, and Star Talents Formation!

Array versus array, the power gap was indeed massive. The Sun, Moon, and Star Three Lights flickered, disrupting and shattering all attacks Master Xuan Ji launched with full force.

Just then, shouts arose, it was Pan Qin and fifty Qi Cultivation Elites coming as reinforcements!

Han Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort from the broken oath, turning to fly out of the building, ”I will hold them off, seize the array quickly!”

Zhang Hansong agreed with a response, Sun, Moon, and Star Lights flashed again. Flames rolled, Fire Meteor suddenly blasted out, cold frost condensed, Ice Cones poured down like torrential rain, within the sun and moon lights were the swift and sharp Geng Metal Sword of the stars.

In just an instant, all the layers of defense Master Xuan Ji set were torn to pieces, and his Five Elements Grand Array was nearly collapsing.

”Both are Five Elements Grand Arrays, but you are far inferior to Lu Qian,” Zhang Hansong mocked.

Master Xuan Ji, however, raised his head high, a brilliant light shone from his aged, turbid eyes, his proud voice rang out loudly, ”Of course, Lu the Kid is my apprentice!”

His gaze pierced through the massive hole in the wall, looking towards the distant skies, yet there was nothing.

Seems I can’t teach Lu the Kid the last lesson, it’s a move I figured out not long ago.

No worries, no worries, his future is bright, why would he need to learn this?

It’s a pity, I wanted to say a final farewell to Taotao and Miss Qingfeng.

Hope Taotao can grow up healthy and happy, no more troublemaking.

Thinking of this, under Zhang Hansong’s shocked gaze, Master Xuan Ji chuckled, he waved his hand, inserting three Silver Needles into his Jade Pillow, Hundred Meetings, and Niwan Palace!

In an instant, a tidal wave of Divine Sense surged to the sky!

Outside the building, Han Wen was already engaged in battle with Pan Qin, and Yunshan Sect’s fifty Qi Cultivation Elites.

Although he couldn’t use Dao Pattern now, Shahe Gang was always rich, for centuries accumulated a large number of treasures through various channels.

For instance, the Wave-Treading Cloud-Stepping Shoes he wore, enabling him to move swiftly and nimbly, leaving behind numerous afterimages in the air. The Black Tortoise Heart Protection Armor, resplendent and incomparably hard, could withstand multiple attacks. The Cyan Gold Battle Saber in his hand, forceful and mighty, its blade like a mirror, slicing through Qi Cultivators’ Defensive Spiritual Artifacts like paper.

Relying on numerous treasures, Han Wen initially faced Pan Qin. Originally at the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, his fierce attacks forced Pan Qin at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment to lower his head. The leader of the fifty Qi Cultivation Elites was Zheng Duan, trying to provide assistance, but Han Wen and Pan Qin were tightly entangled, fearing accidental injury, they couldn’t attack.

Zheng Duan just wanted to rush into the building to rescue Master Xuan Ji, but Han Wen slashed Pan Qin away, flash like a lightning bolt into the Qi Cultivation Elites’ formation. Just a few strokes, several Shuangye Alliance cultivators were slain.

Zheng Duan promptly commanded everyone to disperse and attack fiercely, but Han Wen’s high-tier Spiritual Artifacts were exceptional, making him elusive and difficult to hit, as well as extraordinarily tough to penetrate.

At this point, Han Wen targeted Zheng Duan, cleaving his Defensive Spiritual Artifact in two with one blow, if not for Pan Qin’s timely rescue, Zheng Duan would have perished at his hands.

Now Han Wen was entangled in a brawl with Pan Qin and several dozen elites, unable to overpower each other for the moment.

Meanwhile, Guh Niqiang within the Protective Grand Array had also plunged into a fierce battle.
