The sky was dark and gloomy, with chilling and sinister demonic clouds covering the heavens. Pitch-black pillars of light shot up from all parts of the Heavenly Demon Sect, instantly forming a protective array that blotted out the sun.
This is the Heavenly Demon Sect's protective formation—the Heavenly Demon Myriad Ghosts Binding Spirit Formation, which cannot be broken by anyone other than a Saint of the fourth rank or above.
Beneath the dark purple spiritual energy barrier of the grand formation, a middle-aged man in purple robes with hawk-like eyes and a wolf-like gaze exuded a terrifying killing intent, his eyes fixed on Chi Yuan's figure with a sinister look.
He was Yuwen Huayuan, the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Feng Yaoyao noticed that the surrounding space had been sealed off by the great formation. Her phoenix eyes flashed, and she threatened, "Hey, I advise you to calm down. I am a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. If you don't want to suffer the consequences, don't provoke us. Otherwise, when my Holy Ancestor arrives, your entire sect will be wiped out!"
"Hmph, so what if you're from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Yuwen Huayuan, however, remained completely unafraid. Pointing at Chi Yuan, he said sternly, "I can spare you all trouble, but this traitor must stay and pay for my son's life. Otherwise, none of you will leave today!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yaoyao looked at Chi Yuan and asked, "Little Fengfeng, did you kill his son?"
"I killed him, but I killed him because he wanted to harm me."
Chi Yuan answered truthfully and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master. This is trouble I caused before I became your disciple. I didn't want to involve you, so I kept it a secret. But I didn't expect to drag you into it."
“Disciple, this is where you are wrong.”
Feng Yaoyao frowned slightly in dissatisfaction and said, "Since you have become my disciple, your affairs are my affairs. What can't we do together? You must not have such thoughts again."
"Your disciple obeys."
Chi Yuan answered earnestly.
Feng Yaoyao turned to look at Yuwen Huayuan, secretly circulating her spiritual power, and said calmly, "Did you hear that? It was your son who tried to harm my disciple first. He deserved to be killed by my disciple. I advise you to behave yourselves and not make trouble, otherwise your sect will be in turmoil today!"
"Arrogant! Do you really think my sect is a pushover?"
Yuwen Huayuan flew into a rage, his voice booming like thunder, "I don't care whether he's right or wrong, he killed my son and he must pay for it with his life!"
Having said that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed down with his claws. Instantly, a huge ghostly claw wreathed in demonic flames howled and snarled as it reached out to grab Chi Yuan.
"court death!"
Feng Yaoyao suddenly stepped into the void, her petite body unleashing a burst of flames as she punched out, shattering the ghost claw with a single blow.
Upon seeing this, Yuwen Huayuan's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "High-level Venerables, follow me to deal with this woman. The rest of you, capture these four people, dead or alive!"
Upon receiving this order, Yuwen Huayuan, along with two other ninth-level Venerables and three seventh- or eighth-level Venerables, launched a joint attack on Feng Yaoyao.
Feng Yaoyao remained calm and composed; three days ago, she might not have been able to handle this situation.
But just two days ago, she received a Saintess Gu from a Great Emperor, and her cultivation has reached the level of a half-saint.
It's more than enough to deal with six high-level spirit lords.
"Xiao Yuxi, you protect the people, I'll go deal with them."
Feng Yaoyao left with a remark and then faced the combined attack of the six high-level Spirit Venerables.
An Yuxi immediately activated the Glazed Lotus to protect the four of them inside.
Boom boom boom boom boom—
As soon as the Crystal Lotus appeared, as many as thirteen mid-to-low-level Spirit Venerables, ranging from the first to the sixth rank, launched their attacks, fiercely bombarding the Crystal Lotus's divine light barrier.
"Heavenly Thunder Slash!"
An Yuxi would not stand idly by and take the beating. She pushed the power of the tribulation lightning to its limit, and several lightning slashes with destructive force blasted out. The few low-level spirit venerables who were locked on did not even have time to groan before their bodies were blasted into dust by the incomparably powerful tribulation lightning slashes.
With fewer attacks from several Spirit Venerables, the already strained divine light barrier suddenly felt much less pressured. An Yuxi then unleashed another Heavenly Thunder Slash, instantly killing three more low-level Spirit Venerables.
At this moment, only five mid-level Venerables of the fourth to sixth rank remain.
An Yuxi herself had not expected the tribulation lightning to be so powerful in actual combat. Killing low-level Spirit Venerables was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, which greatly boosted her confidence. Her cultivation at the late stage of the fourth level of Spirit Venerable erupted, and she used the power of the tribulation lightning to attack the remaining five mid-level Spirit Venerables again.
Boom boom boom boom!
Four more earth-shattering explosions rang out. Despite their best efforts to defend themselves, the four mid-level Venerables struck by the tribulation lightning were still blasted apart by its destructive power.
"Break for me!"
The last remaining sixth-tier Venerable had bloodshot eyes, burning with life force. He disregarded his own safety and unleashed his strongest attack. Finally, at the last moment before being shattered by the tribulation lightning, he broke the divine light barrier of the Glazed Lotus.
However, although these thirteen mid-to-low-level Venerables were all blasted into dust by the tribulation lightning, they did not truly die. They only lost their physical bodies, while their souls remained unharmed.
In fact, the Heavenly Demon Sect mainly cultivates the divine soul; for the Venerables of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the divine soul is their true form.
Therefore, even though his physical body was shattered, the threat from the thirteen Venerables was still not eliminated.
Not only that, but because An Yuxi's tribulation lightning was less effective at suppressing the soul, and the Heavenly Demon Ten Thousand Ghosts Binding Spirit Array had an amplifying effect on the soul, the threat not only did not decrease but increased.
"The demons descend upon the world, and a hundred ghosts roam the night!"
At this moment, all thirteen mid-to-low-level Venerables stopped their attacks and then simultaneously unleashed a divine soul attack technique. Thirteen enormous demonic phantoms, carrying immense pressure, descended from above their divine souls.
Immediately afterwards, countless hideous ghostly figures shrieked as they flew out, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on An Yuxi and her companions.
"My wife, buy me a moment."
Chi Yuan said with a grim expression, then frantically activated his divine soul power and began to unleash the second form of the Void Soul Severing Technique.
He couldn't deal with a Spirit Venerable with a physical body, but it was different with a soul body. Now his soul realm was close to the peak of the ninth level of Spirit Venerable, and he was fully capable of killing the soul bodies of mid-to-low-level Spirit Venerables.
An Yuxi nodded, stood protectively in front of Chi Yuan, and spread the tribulation lightning in her hand to the surroundings, forming a crimson lightning pool filled with thunder, resisting the overwhelming ghost shadows.
Chi Yuan swiftly unleashed the second form of the Void Soul Severing Technique, conjuring thirteen giant soul swords above his head. These swords then locked onto the souls of the thirteen mid-to-low-level Venerables, slashing out like lightning.
"How is this possible?!"
"He's only at the Emperor Rank, how could his soul be so powerful?!"
The thirteen venerable ones were utterly terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies.
They attempted to break through the space to escape, but found that the space was imprisoned by the sect's protective formation, leaving them no choice but to force their way through.
However, how could the souls of these low- to mid-level Spirit Venerables withstand the Void Soul Severing Technique that Chi Yuan used with the power of a ninth-level Spirit Venerable?
Accompanied by a series of shrill screams, the thirteen giant swords of divine souls tore apart the divine souls of the thirteen Venerables as easily as ripping cloth, annihilating them in a single blow!
