What the two sides reached at this time was a fragile balance.

On the one hand, both parties are exploiting each other's value.

Luo Yan needs Li Qinniang to lead the way to the ruins, and Li Qinniang needs Luo Yan to break the formation outside the ruins.

On the other hand, both sides are also wary of each other's hidden strength.

In the absence of necessity and certainty, rashly starting a fight will be disadvantageous to both sides.

But such a fragile balance cannot last forever.

As long as any party reveals a flaw, or encounters a big enough benefit, someone will immediately take the risk.

Therefore, Luo Yan kept his hands in his sleeves at all times to ensure that he could silently release the Xiandu Thunder - this thunder was the fastest among all thunder techniques, even faster than a flying sword, making it perfect for taking the initiative and defeating the enemy.

At the same time, he also instructed the Kunlun Mirror in his sea of ​​consciousness to help keep an eye on any movements around him.

Following Li Qinniang through the woods, we entered a swamp.

Luo Yan frowned, noticing that these swamps were mainly composed of light blue sewage, with many insects and bugs breeding in it, mosquito larvae wriggling in the water, and swarms of mosquitoes flying in the air, which would even deter cultivators.

If you go deeper, you will most likely encounter miasma.

Li Qinniang remained indifferent and just continued to move forward calmly.

Luo Yan followed her to the center of the swamp, only to find that the surrounding trees were becoming increasingly dense, blocking out the sun and making the light dim.

"It's right here." Li Qinniang said suddenly.

Following the direction of her finger, Luo Yan saw a deep pool with a diameter of about three or four meters, located at the edge of the junction of the swamp and the low hill.

At first glance, it doesn't look impressive, but upon closer inspection, you can see something unusual.

First of all, the water color is wrong; it is too clear and clearly distinguished from the surrounding swamps.

Secondly, there are no insects in the water, and even swarms of mosquitoes refuse to approach, as if there is an invisible wall of air.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, do you recognize this formation?" Li Qinniang asked with a smile.

"Sumeru Dayan Formation?" Luo Yan released his spiritual sense to explore, carefully inspecting the distribution of spiritual power, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, "No, there is also the Renshui Locking Dragon Formation."

"Two arrays are nested in a chain, one to protect the outside, the other to lock the inside. What kind of structure is this? It doesn't look like a relic to me, but more like a prison."

"Is there any way to crack it?" Li Qinniang continued to ask, while glancing into the distance imperceptibly.

Her senior sister was hiding behind a low hill and had already ambushed the thirty-six gods and demons. She was waiting for Luo Yan to break the formation so that she could rush out and kill him.

"It's hard to say. The person who set up the formation is too high-ranking." Luo Yan was studying the formation when he heard Kunlun Mirror say, "There is a demon cultivator behind the low hill ahead."

Hmm? Luo Yan immediately tensed up, and suddenly realized that Li Qinniang beside him had revealed a trace of demonic energy.

But it disappeared in a flash, so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.

What's wrong with this guy? Luo Yan was extremely alert.

The trace of demonic energy just now almost made him think that the other party was going to attack. He was about to make hand gestures to release thunder magic, but the other party took it back.

It was as if he was deliberately trying to scare me... Wait, deliberately?

Thinking of the Kunlun Mirror's alarm, Luo Yan immediately realized what was going on.

The demonic monk behind the low hill is in the same group with Li Qinniang. They are lying in ambush here, waiting for the moment when he lifts the formation, and then they will attack and kill him.

However, Li Qinniang and the opponent were not on good terms with each other, and she did not want to be killed by a surprise attack, so she deliberately released evil spirit to make the opponent alert.

In short, she wanted to trick herself and that person into a fight, and then she would reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan continued to study the formation calmly.

The Sumeru Dayan Formation and the Renshui Locking Dragon Formation are both formations of extremely high levels. If Elder Shiding were here, he probably wouldn't dare to say that he could easily break these two formations.

Fortunately, it had been ten thousand years since the formation was set up. The mountains and rivers had moved, and the stars had changed their orbits, causing the originally perfect formation to have many weaknesses.

The person who set up the formation should be an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, or even an immortal of a higher level, but his attainments in formations are not deep, and he does not know how to make up for the shortcomings, so that the formation that originally had a score of 100 points is now only about 15 points.

But even 15 points is like an insurmountable chasm for a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As the saying goes, if you don't have the right tools, you can't do the job. Even if Luo Yan could come up with a hundred methods, he would still be at a loss as to where to start due to his low level of cultivation... Hmm?

That’s right!

With the bonus of the talent of "understanding a thousand things after hearing one thing", Luo Yan suddenly had an idea in his mind.

I have the acquired five elements great extinction divine light!

The Renshui Dragon Locking Formation is an extremely powerful water formation. It looks like a deep pool below, but the actual amount of water is almost endless. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an entire ocean.

It is not surprising that ordinary monks would be crushed into meat patties if they got involved.

But such a formation will definitely not be able to escape the five elements.

I only need to activate the Five Elements Divine Light, extract the Ren Water Essence and refine it, and this formation will be solved!

As for the Sumeru Dayan Formation, it is an advanced space-based formation.

Mount Sumeru can be so close yet so far away, which is perfect for trapping the enemy.

However, I have a mirror in my body, which has the laws of time and space, and its best thing is to teleport me here and there...

"Ahem." Kunlun Jing said, "Sumeru Dayan Formation, I can help you break it."

"No, I don't want to crack it." Luo Yan smiled slightly, "A Jing, can you take control of the formation?"

"It's possible..." Kunlun Jing said subconsciously, and then reacted, "You want to use the formation to kill them?"

"That's right." Luo Yan smiled, "It's rare that I encounter two large formations, and I can solve both of them. How can I not make good use of them?"

"Okay." Kunlun Mirror agreed.

Luo Yan flew in the air with his sword, stretched out his arm, and pressed down towards the pool of water below.

The air wall that originally separated the inside and the outside suddenly began to distort slightly.

Li Qinniang:?

She suddenly had a very bad feeling.

From childhood to adulthood, her premonitions of deadly danger have been very accurate, and this intuition has even saved her life several times.

A great fear arose in her heart, and Li Qinniang almost screamed and stepped back immediately:

"The formation has been broken! Senior sister, please take action!"

The female demon monk who was ambushing behind the low hill immediately jumped out with countless demons!

The devil's name is "Thirty-six Gods and Demons". He uses secret methods to attract the "Fifth Transformation of Le Tian" outside the sky, lure the devil from outside the sky to the lower world, and then refine it for his own use.

The demon from Hualetian was born with the ability to change into various forms. He could be a flying bird in the sky and an elephant or horse on the ground. No visible weapons could hurt him.

As soon as these thirty-six demons appeared, they immediately transformed into yakshas with green faces and fangs and rushed towards Luo Yan!

Li Qinniang was closer to Luo Yan, so she quickly distanced herself from him. At the same time, she threw out a demon head from her sleeve. It was an ordinary celestial demon, shaped like a human head, and it rushed towards Luo Yan with a roar.

Luo Yan flew down several feet on his sword and landed in the Sumeru Dayan Formation. He swung his right hand and thunder of immortality appeared. Red lightning struck straight down and immediately killed the human-headed demon, destroying it and turning it into a wisp of black smoke.

The evil female monk took the opportunity to drive the gods and demons to kill him. Thirty-six demons surrounded Luo Yan and spewed out large amounts of inky smoke, which was directly sprayed on Luo Yan's face!

This smoke is the innate magical power of the gods and demons, and it is extremely poisonous. If an ordinary cultivator is touched by it, his emotions will be aroused immediately, his heart fire will be so intense that he cannot control it and he will be unable to move. He can only allow himself to be slaughtered and eaten by the demons.

However, Luo Yanan stayed in the formation, motionless. A large cloud of black smoke surrounded him, but it could not get closer to him, as if blocked by an invisible wall of air.

The female cultivator of the evil sect was startled upon seeing this, and then she looked at her junior sister Li Qinniang, only to see that she had already ridden her sword and was speeding away, disappearing into the dense woods.

The next second, Luo Yan rubbed his hands together, and five-colored light gushed out from between his palms, quickly sweeping across the surrounding demons.

Those demons all wailed, the five elements fell into chaos, and turned into black smoke and disappeared!

These thirty-six gods and demons that were powerful enough to besiege a Jindan-level cultivator could not even survive for a short breath under the radiation of the Five Elements Great Extinction Divine Light!
