Seeing that Li Tian had successfully held off all the opponents, Zhang Yuhe continued to focus on setting up the formation.
As the array flags were waved, he quickly set up a massive array around Mirror Sky City.
Zhang Yuhe's hand gestures
"Initiate the battle."
In an instant, the weather within a radius of thousands of miles changed dramatically.
Dark clouds gathered over Mirror City, and countless streams of spiritual energy surged toward it.
The dark clouds gathered rapidly, forming a huge vortex, from which bolts of lightning as thick as buckets continuously emerged.
Zhang Yuhe continuously made hand seals, controlling the lightning bolts to strike the sky above Mirror City.
Boom boom...
As lightning struck rapidly, the light screen above Mirror City began to tremble incessantly.
Gui Water Lightning Array.
This is a sixth-tier, large-scale attack formation.
In normal cultivators' battles, such formations are not very useful.
Setting up the Gui Water Lightning Array requires a significant amount of time.
More importantly, this formation does not have a sealing effect.
In other words, once others see the formation activated, they can simply run outside.
Once you escape the area covered by the formation, it becomes useless.
However, the Kui Shui Lightning Array is surprisingly effective when dealing with stationary targets.
Just like now, Mirror City is a sitting duck, and can only rely on its defensive array to hold out.
However, facing the Sunflower Water Lightning-Attracting Array and the constantly generated lightning, the Nine Python Spirit-Binding Array of Mirror Sky City probably won't last long either.
Zhang Yuhe kept making hand seals, and lightning struck Jingkong City like a storm.
Each of these lightning strikes was significantly stronger than the fiery fist shadow that had appeared before Li Tian.
As for the attack frequency, these lightning bolts are countless times faster.
Since lightning is generated by an array, its duration and continuity are far superior to those of a cultivator's attack.
Most importantly, the lightning generated by these formations does not consume Zhang Yuhe's mana; he only needs to replenish the formations with spirit stones from time to time.
Seeing the changing colors of the sky around them, Mingyuefei and the others were taken aback.
They had been feeling uneasy because they had just seen Zhang Yuhe fiddling around.
However, because Li Tian was there, they couldn't take care of Zhang Yuhe for the time being.
In their eyes, Li Tian, as the senior disciple of the Dao Sheng Sect, was definitely much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Yuhe.
So they thought that since they couldn't spare the time for the moment, they might as well concentrate all their efforts on dealing with Li Tian first.
Once Li Tian is dealt with, Zhang Yuhe will be left all alone, and they'll have no choice but to manipulate him.
Little did they know that Zhang Yuhe would set up such a powerful formation in such a short time.
Not only were Mingyuefei and the others surprised, but even Li Tian was taken aback by the scene before him.
He never expected that Zhang Yuhe's skill in array formations would be so high.
Setting up an array isn't just about having array plates or flags; those simple, foolproof arrays are generally only effective for individuals.
The large-scale formation set up by Zhang Yuhe must have required a master who was extremely proficient in the art of formations to create it.
As bolts of lightning struck the light screen of Mirror Sky City repeatedly, Mingyuefei and the others grew anxious.
Once the defensive formation of Mirror Sky City is breached, Zhang Yuhe can completely control these lightning bolts and strike them directly on the altar in the city.
When that time comes, all their previous plans will become nothing more than a reflection in the water or a flower in a mirror.
Thinking of this, Consort Mingyue shouted loudly to the others.
“I’ll hold Li Tian back. You guys find an opportunity to rush over and kill that kid, or break the formation first. At least we can’t let him control the formation to attack Mirror Sky City.”
After Mingyuefei finished speaking, she took out a small, gleaming knife.
A mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the God-Slaying Blade.
Mingyuefei made a hand seal, frantically channeling all her magical power into the dagger.
"go."
The God-Slaying Blade instantly grew countless times larger, transforming into a gigantic longsword that slashed straight down towards the heavens, spanning the sky.
Sensing the immense spiritual pressure within the blade's light, Li Tian's mind went blank. He quickly drew a shield gleaming with spiritual light to meet the blade's attack.
Flying Swallow Leaves the Fire Shield.
This is also a mid-grade spiritual treasure, Li Tian's trump card for survival.
Under normal circumstances, a Nascent Soul cultivator can only use low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures at most.
A mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure requires at least a cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm to activate.
However, neither Li Tian nor Ming Yuefei are ordinary people; they either possess special cultivation techniques or have extraordinary talents.
Despite the enormous cost, they were still able to forcefully activate a mid-grade Heavenly Treasure.
boom……
The blade flashed and struck the shield, leaving a shallow scratch.
After the flash of inspiration, the shield returned to normal.
Despite having a mid-grade spiritual treasure protecting him, Li Tian was still forced to retreat hundreds of miles by the attack.
Seeing that Li Tian had been defeated by Ming Yuefei, the others quickly turned and charged towards Zhang Yuhe.
"Damn, this is so unhelpful."
Zhang Yuhe was focused on manipulating the formation to attack Mirror Sky City when he saw six Nascent Soul cultivators rushing towards him.
Countless curses welled up in his mind.
This senior brother is so unreliable! I promised to leave everything to you so I could focus on setting up the formation.
Damn it, out of seven people, six of them came at me.
Of course, he also knew that Li Tian had done his best.
What was that saying again?
No wonder the Nationalist army was incompetent...
Seeing the six Nascent Soul cultivators rushing towards him, Zhang Yuhe waved his right hand, and nine flying swords shining with various colors of spiritual light instantly appeared around him, slowly circulating.
My natal magic weapon is the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword.
There were nine flying swords in total, all of which were low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.
Each time Zhang Yuhe broke through his cultivation level, he would upgrade the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Formation.
With his current cultivation level, he can at most refine a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.
He used to think that as a Nascent Soul cultivator, having a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure should be enough.
Zhang Yuhe made a hand seal, and the flying sword spun rapidly, soon forming a dense screen of sword shadows around him.
It wasn't that he didn't want to draw lightning to attack these six Nascent Soul cultivators.
When setting up the formation, Zhang Yuhe only considered maximizing its destructive power against Mirror City.
Therefore, he compressed the attack range of the Sunflower Water Lightning Array entirely into the area of Mirror City.
Now this is awkward.
He had to both guide the formation to attack Mirror City and deal with the attacks of six Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Is this supposed to make me do double penetration?"
Zhang Yuhe felt a little numb.
The attack on Mirror City cannot stop; if it does, Mirror City's defensive array will immediately recover.
All previous efforts were wasted.
After releasing the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword, Zhang Yuhe looked at the few Nascent Soul cultivators.
Among these six people, one of the scarred men was also at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Of the remaining five, three were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while the ancestors of the He and Li families were at the early-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
"This is a bit tricky."
Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation combines offense and defense. Now let's see how powerful this divine ability, which comes with the technique itself, really is.
Although he has cultivated Taoism for over a hundred years, Zhang Yuhe has never actually fought anyone in a real magical duel.
This was the first time he had faced a cultivator of the same level head-on.
Six Nascent Soul cultivators arrived in front of Zhang Yuhe. Looking at the sword shadows and light screen surrounding Zhang Yuhe, they couldn't help but feel a little scared.
However, they didn't have much time to dwell on it, because Mingyue Fei might not be able to hold off Li Tian indefinitely.
Once they escape from the heavens, things will be even more complicated.
The scarred man shouted.
"I'll do it."
He quickly pulled out a small, gleaming hammer and poured his magic into it.
The small hammer transformed into a giant hammer phantom and smashed towards Zhang Yuhe.
