"Fairy Lu (Xiao Yan)!"
Seeing Xiaoyan summoning a flying sword and slashing at the powerful demons in the sky that were emitting demonic energy, the three Holy Lords and Han Lingshuang were all shocked.
The demons above have extremely terrifying auras, and they have at least reached the late Jindan realm.
Although Xiaoyan is very powerful, she is only at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm. How can she deal with four demons at the same time?
Fortunately, Xiaoyan only summoned the flying sword, and no one followed and rushed forward, which made the three saints and Han Lingshuang feel a little relieved.
But in this case, they also knew that this war was inevitable.
The three holy masters immediately looked at each other, and began to communicate with the holy mountain under their feet in their minds, and were ready for battle.
Although their cultivation has improved a lot over the years, even the strongest First Saint Lord is only at the fourth level of the Golden Core.
It is impossible to confront the four demons above head-on.
The only way is for the three brothers to rely on the power of the Holy Mountain and form a formation to have a chance of fighting.
Xiaoyan's flying sword is extremely sharp, and it also contains a sense of killing that can freeze everything.
Once it was used, the four demons in the sky were immediately shocked.
Even as strong as they were, they could feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.
For a moment, no one was willing to take on the powerful sword light, and they all dodged to the sides.
However, since Xiaoyan has taken action, it will not end so easily.
The sword gestures in her hand changed, and suddenly, the sword light split into four beams, chasing after the four demons respectively.
He actually wanted to kill the four demons by himself.
Xiaoyan's action immediately made the four demons feel her arrogance.
The Eagle Demon, in particular, let out a strange cry: "Little girl, you really don't know your place. You're only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, yet you dare to be so arrogant."
Before he finished speaking, the Eagle Demon grabbed with his hand, and demonic energy surged out, transforming into a huge black eagle claw, which grabbed the sword light that was slashing towards him.
The power of the black eagle claw was extremely strong. As soon as it appeared, the three saints and Han Lingshuang felt a powerful pressure coming down from above, which made their breathing stop.
However, Xiaoyan's sword light was even more exquisite.
When the black eagle claw was about to catch it, it drew a mysterious trajectory, like the refracted lightning. With a thunderclap, the sword light accelerated instantly.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the eagle demon and chopped off his head.
At the same time, the other three sword lights also changed, avoiding the obstruction of the demons, exploding with thunderous sounds, and slashing towards their real bodies.
"Distract yourself and use it multiple times, sword energy and thunder sound!"
The four demons were shocked. They had never expected that Xiaoyan's swordsmanship had reached such a level.
While attacking four of them at the same time, he was still able to make such subtle changes.
This caught them, who were once powerful souls, off guard and they could only watch the sword light slashing towards them.
Boom boom boom boom!
There were four loud noises, and Xiaoyan's sword light hit the four demons.
Suddenly, the evil energy spread everywhere.
The four demons were cut by Xiaoyan's sword and flew backwards together.
"Hit it?"
The three Holy Lords, Han Lingshuang, and the many Holy Mountain disciples who were watching the battle below all opened their eyes wide when they saw this scene, and were extremely excited.
No one expected that Fairy Lu could fight against four people alone and actually attack the real body of the demon.
Everyone stared at the four demons, wanting to see what would become of them after enduring such a fierce attack from Fairy Lu.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad."
At this moment, the Eagle King who was cut by the sword light turned over and returned to the holy mountain, laughing loudly.
"No wonder Xie Feng is so obsessed with you, little girl. You are indeed quite hot-tempered, and your swordsmanship is not bad either. You can actually injure me with your mid-level Golden Core cultivation. Even in our era, you can be called a peerless swordsmanship prodigy!"
At this time, the black energy in the Eagle Demon's body had dissipated, and the black robe he was wearing was also cut with a crack, and a sword mark deep enough to see the bone appeared on his body.
However, the Eagle Demon didn't seem to care about his own injuries. Instead, he looked at Xiaoyan with a fiery gaze, as if he was looking at some extremely rare prey.
The sword wounds on his body were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, several other demons also turned back.
Although they all had some injuries on their bodies, just like the Eagle Demon, their injuries were also healing quickly.
Even the breath did not weaken much.
In other words, although Xiaoyan's sword light injured them, it could not hurt them at the root.
When Xiaoyan saw this, her eyes suddenly fixed.
When the people on the holy mountain saw this scene, they felt even colder in their hearts.
"After taking Fairy Lu's sword light head-on, these demons only suffered physical injuries?"
The First Holy Lord immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Xiaoyan is already the strongest fighter on their side, but even she can only barely injure these demons.
Doesn't that mean they are bound to lose this battle?
Thinking of this, the First Holy Lord made a decision immediately.
The soul was shaken, and a voice appeared in the ears of every Holy Mountain disciple: "All Holy Mountain disciples, return to the cave immediately, activate the formation, and join forces to fight the enemy!"
When the disciples of the Holy Mountain heard the voice, they were stunned at first, and then they rushed back to their caves without hesitation.
The next moment, the cave closed and a light curtain of formation appeared in front of them.
"What's this?"
All the disciples of the Holy Mountain were surprised. They had lived in their caves for so long but had never seen such a thing.
At this moment, the voice of the First Holy Lord sounded in their minds again.
"Disciples of the Holy Mountain, listen up! Infuse your spiritual and magical powers into the formation to maintain it."
When all the disciples of the Holy Mountain did as they were told, an extremely powerful formation wave emanated from the Holy Mountain.
The fluctuation was so strong that even the four demons in the sky changed color.
Xiaoyan also looked back in surprise. She didn't know that the Holy Mountain actually had such a hidden card.
"Don't be surprised, Fairy Lu. This is the support your brother left for our Holy Mountain. He once said that this formation can only be used in life-or-death situations."
Facing Xiaoyan's puzzled look, the First Saint Lord explained.
Xiaoyan's body trembled suddenly: "Is this the formation left by my brother?"
After the First Saint Lord explained, he stepped forward, facing the four powerful figures in the sky, and said loudly, "Demons, tell me, what exactly brought you to the Holy Mountain?"
"Are you the so-called First Holy Lord?"
The Eagle Demon looked down from above, his eyes fixed on the First Holy Lord.
The power on his body suddenly increased.
The other three demons all looked at the First Holy Lord.
However, the First Holy Lord was not afraid at all. A powerful formation wave emerged from his body, completely dissolving the pressure from the four demons.
Then he nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I am."
Seeing that the First Saint Lord, who was only at the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm, was not affected by the pressure from them at all, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the four demons.
"Interesting, I didn't expect that you, a mountain soul puppet, actually have some abilities, able to use the formation to take advantage of the situation and gather the power of the mountain soul and many disciples into your own body.
But do you think that you can stop the four of us with just one formation?"
The Eagle Demon stared at the First Saint Lord with a cold gaze.
"Whether you can stop it or not, you might as well give it a try."
The First Saint Lord said with a calm expression, showing no sign of weakness.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. What do you rely on?"
Upon hearing this, the Eagle Demon did not hesitate and slapped the air. Suddenly, a huge black eagle claw fell from the sky and grabbed the First Saint Lord.
Seeing this, Xiaoyan was about to take action, but the First Saint waved his hand to stop her.
"Fairy Lu, there's no need to do anything. Let me learn the magic of this devil."
After saying that, the First Saint Lord stretched out his hand and slapped out.
As he slapped out with his palm, the light of the formation above the holy mountain flickered, and the endless power of the formation condensed in a very short time, and finally condensed into a huge palm surrounded by five colors, which rushed towards the black eagle claws driven by the eagle demon.
"It's my brother's Five Elements Myriad Palm!"
Xiaoyan's eyes suddenly widened when she saw the huge palm surrounded by five colors.
The next moment, the huge palm and the black eagle claw collided with each other.
Bang!
An extremely powerful force burst out, and the black eagle claw only lasted for a few breaths before it was shattered by the palm of the magic weapon, turning into demonic energy that filled the sky and was constantly destroyed.
After breaking the black eagle claws, the huge palm did not stop, but continued to rush upwards and slap the four eagle demons in the sky.
"What?"
The four demons were all shocked when they saw this.
No one expected that the Eagle Demon's proud magic could be broken by a mere fourth-level Golden Core.
Looking at the huge and powerful palm, the four demons felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts.
He immediately understood that this palm strike was extremely powerful and could not be taken head-on.
If they were hit head-on, even with their demonic bodies, they would not be able to withstand it. Even if they did not die, they would be seriously injured.
After feeling the threat from the magic palm, the four demons immediately dodged.
Fortunately, the speed of the magic palm was not too fast, and the four demons avoided it easily after using their body skills.
Finally, the huge palm lost its power and could no longer pursue, slowly falling back to the Holy Mountain and transforming into the power of the formation again.
Seeing that the four demons easily avoided the Five Elements Palm he had activated, the First Saint Lord showed regret on his face.
"Unfortunately, if friend Lu Qing were to use this palm, none of these demons would be able to escape."
"Lord Saint, was this palm technique taught to you by your brother?" Xiaoyan asked.
"Indeed, I was lucky enough to be taught this Dao technique by fellow Lu Qing back then. However, my talent is dull. Even now, I can only use the power of the formation to activate the Myriad Laws Palm, which possesses the Five Elements. And my moves are clumsy. Otherwise, how could these demons escape?"
Xiaoyan nodded slightly.
She realized that the reason why the First Saint Lord was able to perform the Five Elements Palm was because of the formation.
"Brother, did you have such a backup plan back then..."
Xiaoyan was lost in thought as she looked at the light of the formation that enveloped her and protected her.
It was as if I was back to the days when my brother protected me when I was a child.
"Fairy Lu, these four demons are formidable. After all, you have only been practicing for a short time. There is no need to fight for your time and succumb to their provocation.
It won’t be too late to fight him after you have made a breakthrough in your cultivation.
With the formation left by friend Lu Qing, even if these four demons are powerful, they will find it difficult to harm our Holy Mountain."
Seeing Xiaoyan's expression, the First Saint took the opportunity to persuade her.
Xiaoyan looked at the surrounding array light and finally nodded: "Okay."
Seeing Xiaoyan agree, the First Saint Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he was willing to expose the Holy Mountain's last trump card and activate the formation was to persuade Xiaoyan.
Over the years, Xiaoyan's cultivation has become more and more profound, and the number of demon cultivators she kills every year is countless.
But at the same time, the murderous aura in her became stronger and stronger, and her temperament became more and more withdrawn.
In the past few years, Han Lingshuang could occasionally persuade her, but in recent years, her words have become less and less able to shake Xiaoyan's heart.
It was obvious that the Eagle Demon wanted to lure Xiaoyan out, so he deliberately provoked her with words.
That's why the First Saint Lord had to use the formation.
Firstly, the four demons who came this time were indeed extremely terrifying, and were the most powerful enemies the Holy Mountain had ever encountered.
Secondly, the First Saint Lord knew that, besides Lu Qing, the only person who could persuade Xiaoyan at the moment was the old doctor.
But the old doctor is stationed in Jiuli Village all year round and cannot get here immediately.
Then the only way to make Xiaoyan listen to the advice is to use things related to Lu Qing.
Fortunately, his guess was correct. After knowing that the formation was set up by Lu Qing, Xiaoyan finally stopped being impulsive.
"Then the next step is to make these demons retreat when they realize the difficulty."
The First Holy Lord looked upwards.
Above the sky, the Eagle Demon and other four demons were looking at the holy mountain below with fear at the flashing light of the formation.
"Three of you, what should we do? I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful formation in this holy mountain. With this formation, it will not be easy for us to take over this mountain." The Eagle Demon said with a grim expression.
"Indeed, this formation can draw upon the power of the Holy Mountain's mountain soul and gather the strength of countless disciples. Those Holy Mountain disciples are fine, not worth mentioning, but the power of the mountain soul is difficult to deal with."
Another demonic figure nodded.
"Why is there such an exquisite formation on the Holy Mountain? Those three so-called Holy Lords have weak cultivation bases. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to set up such a large formation."
The fourth demonic figure asked doubtfully.
"I'm afraid it's the backup plan left by that person." The strange and handsome man suddenly sighed.
"That one, you mean, the guy known as the best in the world?" Eagle Demon said, not daring to believe it. "That guy has only been practicing for a short time, how could he possibly have such a high level of attainment in formation?"
"That person is obviously the son of fortune of this era. I don't need to explain to you what the son of fortune represents, right?" said the strange and handsome man.
The other three demons were silent.
The son of destiny is synonymous with miracles.
Any outrageous thing seems to become reasonable when it happens to the Son of Fortune.
"Then what should we do? The power of the Holy Mountain's spirit is crucial for us to recover to the Soul Realm. Are we going to just leave like this?"
The Eagle Demon said with a look of resignation. (End of this chapter)
