But the Taoist Bai Gu, with a group of masters from the side sects of the devil, rushed to Liu'an Temple like a meteor, intending to take the initiative and kill all the young disciples represented by Emei.
Leading the group, the Taoist Master Bai Gu radiated a green glow, giving the impression of a demonic heretic emerging from the abyss. Following him were a host of other warriors, each wielding their own magical powers and weapons. Suddenly, a chilling wind howled, demonic light billowed, and the group fled like meteors, incredibly fast.
Among these demons, some have faces as red as the bottom of a pot, eyes as big as copper bells, holding a pair of maces, and look ferocious; some have a face full of flesh, broad shoulders and a big waist, holding two large axes, and are murderous; even worse, some have incomplete bodies, but can drive countless poisonous insects, which makes people shudder.
Like evil spirits emerging from the mountains, these demonic masters rapidly approached Liu'an Temple. Their sole purpose was to capture all the young disciples of the Emei Sect, causing the decline of the righteous sect so they could become the protagonists of the next century.
The manor where they lived was not far from Liu'an Temple. With Bai Gu Taoist's speed of thousands of miles per hour, he could reach the temple in a moment. However, in order to take care of the people behind him, he reduced his speed and always stayed ahead of everyone, neither too far nor too close, showing the style of a great leader of the demon cult.
However, as he was flying with his head raised, he suddenly felt something was wrong. By the time he reacted, he and most of the people behind him had been swallowed up by a white cloud covering several acres.
By the time everyone had landed, the surroundings had become unfamiliar. Some landed in a desert, others in a forest of giant trees, still others in the deep sea, still others in volcanic lava, and finally, still others in a vast space filled with metallic flying swords hanging from the sky.
Bai Gu Zhenren landed in a space filled with giant trees. He immediately realized he had fallen into an ambush. Yet, he stood tall and unfazed, not a trace of worry on his face. With a casual wave of his hand, a burst of green, sinister lightning and fire blasted the giant trees, sending broken branches and twigs flying and raging in a blaze of dark flames.
Seeing that the giant forest hadn't changed despite the severe damage, he simply released millions of gold stars, letting them devour the giant trees to their heart's content. At this moment, a column of water suddenly gushed out from the giant forest, spraying towards the spreading Yin Fire and the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu released by Bai Gu Zhenren, suppressing their actions.
"Is this the inverted five elements formation?" When Bai Gu Zhenren saw this, he snorted coldly.
The other masters of the magic path trapped within the inverted five elements formation, after struggling to detect one of the changes, all showed expressions of despair. They were all elites of the magic path, possessing formidable strength and superb skills, but within this inverted five elements formation, they felt unprecedented pressure and hardship.
The Reversed Five Elements Formation is an ancient and mysterious formation, composed of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which restrain each other and foster an endless cycle of growth. Trapped within the formation, the masters of the magical arts find their magic power suppressed, unable to unleash their full potential. They seek a way out, but every attempt ends in failure, forcing them to struggle endlessly within the formation.
One of the magic masters, skilled in fire magic, tried to burn his way out with flames, but his flames were suppressed by the water element within the Reversed Five Elements Formation, preventing them from igniting. He reluctantly gave up and turned to other spells, but the result was the same: his spells were firmly suppressed by the Reversed Five Elements Formation, preventing him from unleashing his full power.
Another master of the mage arts, specializing in earth magic, attempted to carve a path out with an earth wall, but his wall, restrained by the wood element within the Five Elements Reversal Formation, proved indestructible. Reluctantly, he gave up and turned to other spells, but the result was the same: his Qi was suppressed within the Five Elements Reversal Formation, preventing him from unleashing his full potential.
The other magic masters also tried various methods, but the results were the same. Their true energy was suppressed by the inverted five elements formation, and they were unable to exert their full strength.
The few who escaped the inverted Five Elements formation were attacked by numerous sword flashes and spells. One who was slow to react was instantly reduced to dust by the chaotic sword flashes and spells. However, the remaining few basically used their strongest defensive measures to resist the first wave of attacks.
The Bamboo Mountain Sect elder was one of them. He immediately summoned a set of seventy-two green bamboo swords to form a sword formation, protecting himself and two nearby Bamboo Mountain Sect disciples. Although the green bamboo swords were not very reliable, after forming the sword formation, they blocked the first wave of attacks before they collapsed.
After he confirmed the enemy's attack position, he threw a formation diagram towards a hill three miles away. After the formation diagram fell, it expanded in the wind into a large formation covering several acres of land. The sword in the hand of the mechanical man in the formation lit up, condensing into a space full of flying swords. This was the mechanical man jointly refined by Su Rui, Senior Brother Li, and the elder of Zhushan Sect.
Before the sword formation fell, a sword light with thunder sounded from the top of the mountain and rushed towards the direction of the sword formation.
Su Rui had originally subconsciously hung at the back of the team, but he was now wearing Ma Huai's appearance, so there were many sword lights and spells directed at him.
Su Rui did not give in either. He first sacrificed the semi-finished Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier, and then sacrificed the white bone relic, which turned into a sword light and withstood the first wave of attacks from the flying sword magic weapon with difficulty.
Just when he thought he had to brave the second wave of attacks, someone reached out and pulled him away, and he disappeared.
When he stood still, he found that he was standing in a cloud of mist, and next to him was his master, Yu'e Zhenren.
"We have finally trapped the ferocious insect Bai Gu! Boy Su, you did a good job this time. After this sword fight is over and we return to the mountains, I will take you to ask for a reward from the headmaster!" True Man Yu'e grinned at him.
"Thank you, Master!" Su Rui was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
"We've managed to trap Bai Gu, but this inverted Five Elements formation is no match for Emei's dual-pole micro-dust formation. We can only suppress him for a short while. If we wait too long, he'll break free. Therefore, I intend to personally confront him! You wait here. If any fellow Taoists are in danger, you must come to their rescue immediately!"
The two of them should be at the most central node of the Inverted Five Elements Formation, and they can have an overall view of the situation within the entire Inverted Five Elements Formation. At this time, the environment around the Taoist Bai Gu has changed from a forest of ancient trees to a water town. The Yin Fire he released was suppressed in the water, and the Bai Gu Golden Silkworm Gu could not play a big role in dealing with the formation, so he had already taken it back.
At this moment, he was surrounded by a ball of colorful protective mist, which was the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier, and a bead as big as a bowl was hanging three feet above his head, emitting a green light and surrounded by green clouds.
"Is this the Xuanpin Pearl?" Su Rui murmured when he saw the pearl emitting green light.
