Lin Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes and coldly sized up the Golden Mirror expert. His expression was ashen. Although he felt that the situation was tricky and dangerous, there was no sign of despair in his eyes, and he was not swayed in the slightest by the other party's words.
Are you really going to let him go? I doubt it!
After all, spirit beasts usually sign master-servant contracts, which is the safest approach. Once the master dies, the spirit beast will naturally suffer the same fate.
The other party simply wanted to secure this opportunity, take Huo Yunxian in, and then suppress him!
This little scheme of theirs was immediately obvious.
If one is in dire straits, one might be able to use this to maneuver and find a glimmer of hope.
Although the opponent was a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, his aura was unstable, indicating that he had only recently broken through and his realm had not yet been fully stabilized. He was also just a rogue cultivator with limited strength.
With both array plates fully set up and activated, and further aided by talismans, they still possess the power to fight.
After all, most of the past two years have been spent on making talismans. Although it takes a little over half a month to make one talisman, the number of talismans is now several dozen, which is enough to put them to the test.
If we can stall until Huo Yun breaks through, then we might even have a chance to turn the tables!
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiuyuan decided to stall for time and immediately cupped his hands, saying, "What you say is right, senior. May I consider it for a moment?"
"What's there to consider? Is a spirit beast more important than your own life? If so, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
The Golden Mirror Master snorted coldly and said with a sinister expression.
"Senior, you may not know this, but this spirit beast has been with me for a long time. It has fought its way up from humble beginnings. It played an indispensable role in my success in Foundation Establishment. After so many years of companionship, we have become like brothers and sisters, like close friends and family! At least let me think about this carefully."
Lin Xiuyuan looked troubled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Mirror Master couldn't help but sneer, "What utter nonsense!"
He was able to achieve Foundation Establishment from among the rogue cultivators, so he was obviously not a fool. Naturally, he would not believe Lin Xiuyuan's words, which were nothing more than a delaying tactic!
They planned to wait until the fire python reached the Foundation Establishment stage before joining forces with the formation to resist it.
This little trick of theirs is obvious at a glance.
The Golden Mirror Master's expression was icy cold as he said directly, "Stop with your petty schemes. If you don't give me a clear answer, don't blame me for taking action and killing you right here!"
“Senior, everything I said is true…”
Lin Xiuyuan gave a wry smile and cupped his hands in greeting.
The Golden Mirror Master realized that this guy was treating him like an idiot.
Before he could finish speaking, the Golden Mirror Master waved his sleeve, and a large amount of magical power surged out as he made a hand seal.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy gathered and formed streaks of golden sword light, radiating a chilling and fierce aura, which whistled down.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan dropped his feigned politeness, his expression becoming solemn and cold, and he activated both array plates without hesitation.
In an instant, a bright blue light shone forth, seemingly illuminating the heavens and earth with a hazy blue glow.
As the beams of light emanated, they seemed to possess a great deal of spirituality, gradually converging to form a faint array pattern resembling the character "甲" (jia), which stood in front of them.
Within this, two powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanated.
Two beams of light shot up with a whoosh, meeting the incoming golden sword lights head-on. They shattered several of them, turning them into specks of golden light that dissipated into the air. The power of the two beams of light vanished, and they slowly dissipated.
The remaining sword light whistled down, striking the blue-armored formation continuously.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out, and as the golden and blue light intertwined, the hazy blue light gradually shone brightly. The faintly visible "甲" (jia) array pattern trembled for a moment before finally stabilizing, and soon completely dissipated the attack of the sword lights.
After this attack, the Golden Realm expert had a general idea of the protective capabilities of this defensive array plate, and immediately took out a low-grade magic sword and activated it with all his might.
Its surface shone brightly, with rays of golden light extending outwards, forming sword beams several meters in size, transforming it into a blazing golden sun.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you don't seize it, I'll launch a full-scale attack and shatter your array. Then there will be no room for negotiation. Will you hand over this fire python or not? If you do, I'll leave immediately!"
While activating his magic sword with all his might, the Golden Mirror Master spoke coldly.
Under the support of surging magical power, the magic sword floated in the air and was fully activated, making it seem as if it had transformed into a blazing sun, terrifying and frightening. It caused the robes of the Golden Mirror Master to flutter, displaying an unparalleled aura, thus forming a strong sense of oppression that swept towards Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan remained unmoved. Seeing that the other party had only taken out a low-grade spirit sword, he felt even more reassured and activated several wooden spirit talismans in return.
The wooden talisman floated in the air, emitting a hazy blue light, and extended out vines and branches, which, together with the blue armor array plate, further strengthened its protective power!
"Senior, I'm afraid you'll end up losing more than you gain. Suppressing me isn't that easy. Heh, why don't you retreat now and let's make peace?"
"Ridiculous! You think you can stop me with just two array plates?"
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Mirror Master was so enraged that he laughed instead, and without hesitation, he urged his spirit sword to strike down.
At this moment, the "blazing sun" surged up once more, emanating terrifying spiritual energy. Clearly visible was a sword beam extending more than ten feet from the magic sword, radiating a chilling aura.
