Chapter 216: Fellow Cultivator, Don't Mislead Yourself!

On the Highland Plain, a massive Mammoth Puppet strode forward with mighty strides.

Wherever it passed, all who stood in its way were mowed down.

During the battle at Xiao Huan Mountain, this puppet had been easily toppled by Red Explosive Ape's few blows, showing no sign of its formidable power.

However, this didn't mean it was useless.

In fact, it was only because the Mammoth Puppet lacked Duan Rui's control that it couldn't execute agile attacks.

Moreover, Red Explosive Ape was, after all, a second-rank demonic beast, not a match for the puppet.

But today, under Gui Caiyi's full control, it unleashed its true might.

Towering in size and made of special materials, it was impervious to sword and blade.

Magical talismans couldn't hinder it either.

With its thick skin and sturdy body, it could occasionally unleash light orbs from the middle-grade spirit stones placed inside, causing devastating attacks.

A massive light orb erupted from its mouth, instantly killing any Qi Refining Ninth Stage cultivator who came into contact with it.

Even Qi Refining Ninth Stage cultivators could only retreat, unable to withstand its power head-on.

"Caiyi, have you found the exit?" Sima Hui Niang's voice echoed from a distance.

Gui Caiyi clenched her teeth, her body glistening with fragrant sweat.

She couldn't find it!

She couldn't find it!

Unable to comprehend array formations, she could only move in a straight line, repeatedly charging at the grand array.

However, what the eyes see may not be the truth.

The moving stone pillars often created illusions, making her efforts futile.

"If this continues, we'll all be trapped and die here!"

Behind her, the Luo Tianhui cultivators wailed in despair.

Countless familiar faces perished under the relentless attacks.

Just as Gui Caiyi was about to lose hope, she noticed something peculiar.

Two stone pillars collapsed, falling together in a heap, subtly indicating a direction.

She hesitated for a moment.

Then, without hesitation, she activated the spirit formula!

The Mammoth Puppet's body glowed with spiritual light, instantly absorbing all the spiritual energy from the five middle-grade spirit stones.

A colossal light orb emerged from its mouth.

Roar!

It was like an angry howl.

The puppet unleashed its ultimate strike, and the light orb swept through, turning the Great River Gang cultivators in its path into blood mist.

After annihilating dozens of people, the orb's power didn't diminish. It continued its destructive path in the direction indicated by the stone pillars, rolling out of the Highland Plain.

An exit appeared!

Gui Caiyi, gazing at the moonlight outside, was overwhelmed with joy.

Suppressing her surging emotions, she shouted, "Follow me!"

Thud, thud, thud!

The Mammoth Puppet took long strides, breaking into a run.

Sima Xian and Zhou Yuanli led their group, guarding the sides.

Behind them, Qin Liangchen, Su Xiaolin, Liu Qiang, and Bian Zhen fought fiercely to hold back the approaching enemies.

Duan Feng wielded the top-grade magical treasure, the Yellow River Saber, holding off the onslaught.

"Come on, Duan Feng!" Feng Xia shouted as she maneuvered her flying sword.

Duan Feng's face contorted in madness, and he pushed her away.

"You all go first!"

Caught off guard by his shove, Feng Xia was forced to retreat hastily.

Just then, several more magical tools flew towards them.

Duan Feng's expression turned ferocious, and the Yellow River Saber unleashed a wave of power, sweeping away the incoming attacks.

Even so, a few magical tools slipped past his defense.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Coincidentally, a massive stone pillar rumbled towards them.

It seemed to be crushing Duan Feng, but it also blocked the incoming magical tool attacks.

Duan Feng hesitated for a moment, then swiftly kicked off the stone pillar and retreated.

Several Great River Gang cultivators flew over to retrieve their magical tools.

"What's Min Longyu up to?"

"His sure-kill attack just failed."

"What a pity, that Duan Feng is the master of the Luo Tianhui's Artifact Hall, and he has a pile of top-grade flying swords and high-grade defensive artifacts."

"Never mind, keep chasing!"

Deep underground, Min Longyu sat cross-legged, his five-colored array plate slowly spinning. On both sides, a massive water mirror reflected the outside world.

His expression was grave, and he continuously cast spells.

As he manipulated the array plate, the stone pillars in the water mirror shifted positions.

If any Great River Gang cultivators were there, they would realize that the stone pillars not only failed to block the Luo Tianhui cultivators but were subtly protecting them.

"Wang Haichao, this is what you owe me..."

"Dan Chenzi, don't let me down!"

He muttered, pressing his hand on the array plate.

The next moment, intense spiritual power fluctuations erupted.

Above the Highland Plain, countless massive stone pillars seemed to buckle under the strain, exploding violently.

The resulting debris shot out in all directions, striking the surrounding cultivators without warning, turning them into sieves.

Duan Feng, who had just escaped from inside, paled instantly.

If he had still been in there, he might not have escaped this fate either.

However, as he witnessed this scene, a wave of doubt rose in his heart.

"The one controlling the array seems..."

"Duan Feng, are you alright!"

Qin Liangchen and Meng Luo Qinglian flew over, shielding Duan Feng.

Duan Feng caught his breath, "I'm just a bit breathless, it's nothing serious!"

Though he said this, the wounds on his body told a different story.

Qin Liangchen shook his head, "You go rest at the back, we'll handle this."

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the Highland Plain, where enemies were emerging one after another.

The thieves' hearts remained relentless!

Soon, Sima Xian and Zhou Yuanli arrived with a group of experts.

"President, what should we do now?"

Sima Huiwang's beautiful face now wore an extremely sinister expression as she glared at the Great River Gang cultivators.

"A bunch of rabble!"

"It was difficult to act inside the formation, but now that we're outside, it's no longer their home field!"

"Everyone, follow my orders!"

"Qi Condensation Early and Mid-stage cultivators, use talismans for long-range attacks."

"Qi Condensation Late-stage cultivators, form teams of three and charge the enemy."

"All Qi Refining Ninth Stage cultivators, move freely on the battlefield, hold nothing back, and kill mercilessly!"

With the order given, the Luo Tianhui cultivators responded resolutely! This battle must decide the victor.

There was no chance of escape.

The Chairman and the Battle Hall Master were still engaged in a fierce battle with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, where could they possibly run to? Moreover, during the initial breakout, Luo Tianhui had suffered heavy losses.

At least a hundred people had died inside.

Among them were their friends, family, and Dao companions!

This blood debt must be repaid with blood!

Soon, under Sima Huiwang's command, the remaining Luo Tianhui cultivators quickly formed battle formations, aiming to snipe the Great River Gang cultivators.

Thanks to the numerous battles Luo Tianhui had experienced since its establishment, the surviving cultivators were all battle-hardened and fearless in the face of such a scene.

Furthermore, Luo Tianhui had reaped great rewards from those battles.

The Fu Clan's talismans and the Duan Clan's magical tools were all top-notch.

Even the Mammoth Puppet, comparable to a Qi Condensation Grand Completion cultivator, the top-grade magical treasure Flying Saber Yellow River Saber, and the high-grade magical tool Fire-tipped Spear were bestowed by Luo Chen.

In comparison, the Great River Gang had a large number of members.

But they lacked unity!

Wang Haichao was stingy and would never bestow good items upon his followers.

This group of people was as poor as beggars.

When Sima Huiwang called them a mob, it wasn't arrogance or conceit.

As Luo Tianhui organized its battle formation and began a systematic counterattack, the offensive and defensive positions shifted instantly! Without the advantage of the Highland Plain's terrain and the protection of formations, the sheer number of cultivators meant nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

Moreover, Luo Tianhui had more than a dozen Qi Refining Ninth Stage cultivators, a number that exceeded what could be counted on both hands.

Even the elderly Granny Yuan could stand at the back and use the Scythe of Geng Metal Sword Technique to kill as effortlessly as she harvested spirit herbs with this spell.

...

Sima Huiwang sat in the center.

Beside her was Gui Caiyi, who was currently infusing middle-grade spirit stones into the Mammoth Puppet.

She surveyed the battlefield from above, and Luo Tianhui gradually gained the upper hand.

"President, something's not right with Min Longyu."

Suddenly, Gui Caiyi raised her head and spoke.

Sima Huiwang nodded, "I sense it too. That large formation should have separated our formation, isolating us for individual defeat, but..."

"Our main force has remained intact."

"Instead, it's the Great River Gang members who are being blocked by the illusion technique, unable to launch a full-scale attack."

Gui Caiyi felt a lingering fear.

The previous siege had been utterly hopeless.

Even with Luo Tianhui's numerous experts, if that formation had targeted them with full force, the outcome might have been far worse than just over a hundred deaths.

A hundred survivors might have been a more accurate estimate.

Thinking of the fallen, Gui Caiyi couldn't help but glance at the Qi Condensation low-rank cultivators behind her, who were frantically activating talismans and attacking the enemy.

Behind them lay a group of injured cultivators.

They had sustained severe injuries during the initial charge and were now unable to move.

It was because of these injured cultivators that Sima Huiwang made the resolute decision to fight to the death.

The Chairman and Wang Yuan were still fighting, and the injured couldn't escape.

How could they possibly leave?

"Regardless of victory or defeat in this battlefield, it won't be decisive."

"It still depends on the Chairman and Wang Yuan."

Beneath Sima Huiwang's ruthless demeanor, there was a hint of worry that she couldn't conceal.

She had witnessed it clearly—two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were pursuing the Chairman.

"But the Chairman is full of wit and extraordinary means, so holding them off for a while should be possible."

"Therefore, as long as Wang Yuan can quickly..."

Sima Huiwang suddenly looked up.

In the night sky above her, three figures stood in two separate places!

It was Li Yixuan!

And the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Yu Family of Wing Flower Mountain.

Beneath that cultivator was a spirit beast with even stronger aura than the Explosive Ape enslaved by the Chairman.

Sensing her gaze, Li Yixuan let out a bitter laugh and sent a sound transmission.

Sima Huiwang paused, then turned to Yu Rou with a solemn expression.

High in the sky, Yu Rou coldly swept her gaze over the battlefield below, briefly pausing over the Highland Plain's stone forest.

"Hmph!"

"Traitors!"

With a cold snort, her gaze finally settled deep within the stone forest.

Violent spiritual energy fluctuations accompanied by vast blood energy raged in a frenzied assault.

Li Yixuan, like Yu Rou, also gazed in that direction.

After a while, she scoffed, "So, this is the one your Yu Family wants to form a marriage alliance with?

Yu Rou frowned, "That's not right!"

"What's not right about it?" Li Yixuan sneered, "Huo Hu has been under the protection of his elders all along, and his only combat experience is probably the grand competition between the disciples within the Flame Alliance. This battle between the two Nascent Soul Supreme Sects was supposed to be the best opportunity for him to temper himself, but he's as timid as a mouse."

Yu Rou shook her head, "But he's still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator..."

"And Wang Yuan is a Body Transformation Second Stage, comparable to Foundation Establishment!"

"And..."

Li Yixuan let out a cold laugh, "You probably don't know that Wang Yuan has been famous in my Da He Fang for many years. Among those of the same rank, no one can defeat him! Moreover, with his fearless battle intent, how can Huo Hu be his match?"

Seeing that Yu Rou still refused to believe it.

Li Yixuan's face showed disdain.

Did she really think that just because they were sect disciples and clan cultivators, they could stand above and casually crush loose cultivators?

Those who could look down on their peers were all geniuses.

They had completely mastered the sect's techniques and had extensive experience, making them mentally strong.

Only then could they suppress loose cultivators of the same rank.

This Huo Hu couldn't be considered a genius of the Flame Alliance.

As for Magical Treasures?

Previously, Li Yixuan didn't understand enough.

But after obtaining that Smoke Chill Silk Magical Treasure, she realized how shallow her previous understanding was.

Magical Treasures were a standard for Golden Core Transcendents, not because of their high price.

That was just one of the reasons! The real limitation for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to use Magical Treasures freely was still Spiritual Energy.

It was the same principle as Qi Condensation Early Stage Cultivators being unable to use High-grade or even Supreme Magical Tools at will.

For Foundation Establishment Cultivators to use Magical Treasures freely was simply a pipe dream.

Generally, even if Foundation Establishment Cultivators fully understood their Magical Treasures and nurtured them to the point of effortless control, they could still only unleash five to seven-tenths of their power.

Moreover, they were still restricted by their cultivation realm.

For someone like Yu Rou, who was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, even with a Magical Treasure in hand, it could only be used as a trump card and not frequently.

Huo Hu was even worse than her!

At the beginning of Foundation Establishment, his cultivation realm was probably not stable, and he hadn't nurtured the Magical Treasure for long.

If he didn't rely on the power of the Magical Treasure at the start to defeat his opponent,

later on, the Magical Treasure's demand for Spiritual Energy would instead harm him.

"If I refine the Smoke Chill Silk successfully, I still can't completely rely on this treasure."

"In normal battles, one should primarily use Supreme Magical Tools. Smoke Chill Silk can only be used as a critical strike to secure victory!"

Huo Hu's current predicament, on the other hand, served as a good example for Li Yixuan.

Since reaching Foundation Establishment, she hadn't experienced many battles with peers.

There were only a few, and most of them weren't life-or-death struggles.

It could be said that she was also among those with little combat experience among her peers.

Now, as she watched the battle unfold, she gained a lot of insights.

As she pondered, her face suddenly changed slightly.

"Yu Rou, what are you doing?"

On the Jade Feather White Eagle, Yu Rou's Spiritual Energy surged.

"Huo Hu is no match for Wang Yuan, and the other party clearly wants to kill him. I can't just stand by and watch."

Swish!

A long sword appeared, its tip emitting a constant stream of spiritual light.

Yu Rou frowned, "Are you going to stop me?"

"Before, didn't you stop me too?" Li Yixuan said with a cold smile.

Yu Rou shook her head, "This time is different. If Huo Hu dies here, both of us will suffer the consequences."

Seeing that Li Yixuan still intended to stop her.

Her face darkened, and she spat out two words, "Li Clan!"

Li Yixuan's expression changed.

Her life was in the hands of others, tightly controlled.

Just as the two were talking, a Dragon Aura Tiger Wrath erupted from a distance.

A figure suddenly rose from the ground, flying high into the sky, and frantically fled towards them.

As he ran, he cursed angrily.

"Madman!"

"Madman!"

Where the Dragon Aura Tiger Wrath erupted, countless pillars collapsed.

A tall figure stood on a hundred-meter-long pillar, watching his back.

He extended his right hand, his four fingers curved but not clenched, only the index finger slowly pointing out.

Yu Rou's face changed drastically as she witnessed this scene.

"No!!!!"

However, the figure seemed to not hear her words at all.

His entire body erupted with a loud noise, his joints cracking, his meridians trembling, and infinite blood and energy converging into his finger.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a blood-colored radiance, like a meteor, tore through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it pierced Huo Hu's body.

"Ah..."

Huo Hu stared at the hole in his chest, his eyes wide.

Then, his body fell like a stone to the ground.

Yu Rou stood frozen in place.

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

The next moment, a piercing scream turned into sound waves and spread in all directions.

"How dare you!"

Whoosh!

The Jade Feather White Eagle shot out like an arrow, chasing after Huo Hu's body.

Li Yixuan was shocked, unsure of what to do.

But her instincts made her take a step forward.

The sword light trembled, ready to block Yu Rou.

However, the sword light soon subsided.

Because on the ground, vines, like snakes, were spreading wildly, forming a cage that completely trapped Huo Hu's body.

Not only that, a radiant sun was slowly rising!

"Fellow Daoist, don't harm yourself!"
