Qiu Honglei smiled and linked arms with Zu An: "Uncle-Master Chi Fuzi, you've lost your mind. My master is such a beautiful woman in front of you, how could she possibly be that old man Yan Xiangu?"
Hearing her praise her beauty, Zu An felt a chill, but he couldn't refute her, so he could only remain silent.
The other followers around him burst into laughter, mocking Chi Fuzi for being just as unable to accept defeat as Lu Sanyuan. They said that the person in front of them was clearly the leader of the Yun Cult, and that he was blind to mistake him for Yan Xiangu.
A few high-ranking officials were somewhat puzzled. Lu Sanyuan and Chi Fuzi would never joke like that, and this Master Yun was indeed a bit strange.
At least in their minds, it was impossible for Master Yun to defeat Lu Sanyuan so easily, but this person was exactly the same as Master Yun in both appearance and weapon. It was hard to imagine that someone could pretend to be so convincing. After thinking about it, they could only assume that Master Yun's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds during his seclusion some time ago.
At this moment, Chi Fuzi said in a deep voice, "I did underestimate you, but do you think you've won?"
After saying that, he had another array plate in his hand, and bursts of light flashed around him. Then he and Lu Sanyuan disappeared from the spot.
"This is the Qimen Dunjia technique of the Hidden Dao!" someone recognized it. This kind of escape technique often sets up a safe location in advance. Once activated, it can instantly teleport to that location. It is a life-saving trick. Where would the enemy find it in a short time?
Many people sighed inwardly. The tricks of the Hidden Path were endless and impossible to defend against. Having escaped such a dangerous enemy, not to mention the Cloud Cult Leader and the Holy Maiden, they themselves did not know when they would be retaliated against.
Just then, a water-like ripple appeared in the sky, and then two figures fell from the sky.
It was none other than Chi Fuzi and Lu Sanyuan. Chi Fuzi laughed loudly, "I laugh at Yun Jianyue's lack of wisdom. He clearly had the upper hand, yet he talked so much nonsense, giving me the opportunity to activate the formation. If he had attacked directly from the beginning, where would we be now..."
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly noticed Lu Sanyuan's horrified gaze. He also sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly looked around, his face turning pale instantly: "How is this possible? Why are we still in the same place!"
Even the Venerable of Heaven and Earth and the Venerable of Freedom were taken aback. What was Chi Fuzi up to? He didn't usually have this kind of comedic talent.
Zuan smiled slightly: "Didn't expect that, did you? When I destroyed your formation, I also made some arrangements for spatial restrictions."
This time, to save Yun Jianyue, he naturally had to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Of course, they learned from the lesson of Zishan, where a group of the world's top figures personally demonstrated how to use formations to scheme against an invincible being.
Akaburi's face turned as red as an eggplant. He never expected that his words would be turned back on so quickly, and it sounded particularly harsh.
He took out the array plate, about to set up the arrays he was most proud of, when a sigh suddenly rang in his ears: "Do you think I will give you another chance?"
He was horrified to find that Yun Jianyue had appeared beside him at some point and pointed a finger at him. Although the finger was moving slowly, he couldn't avoid it no matter what he did.
Struck by a finger, his vital energy was sealed, leaving him powerless to resist.
However, Zuan showed no joy on his face; instead, he retreated rapidly with a solemn expression.
Almost simultaneously, a streak of blood-red light appeared where he had just been standing. In that instant, the air itself seemed to split open, revealing the endless void within.
Such a powerful attack would severely injure anyone who was hit, even if they didn't die.
"Are you alright?" Qiu Honglei rushed to Zu An's side and checked his body with a worried expression.
Zuan shook his head, instead staring solemnly at the other side, and gasps of surprise echoed through the arena.
Because in everyone's eyes, a bizarre scene was unfolding at that moment.
Lu Sanyuan, who had been lying on the ground unable to move, stood up again. The flesh and blood at the wounds of his two severed arms began to surge wildly, turning into two lumps of flesh that grew at a visible rate.
Everyone who saw it felt their scalp tingle. You see, high-level cultivators do have regenerative abilities, but depending on the severity of the injury, it often takes anywhere from several months to several years.
Such a rate of growth and regeneration is unheard of; it's both disgusting and terrifying to look at.
"What's going on? What are you? Get out here! Ahhh!" At this moment, Lu Sanyuan let out a shrill scream.
As the sect leader of the Ruthless Path, he was known for his ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness, and rarely showed any emotional fluctuations.
But in that instant, everyone saw fear in him.
"Hehehe, don't resist me, I can let you feel what a higher level of life is." A sinister voice came from his mouth, accompanied by a series of ear-piercing buzzing sounds, which did not sound like those of a human, but rather like a group of strange insects.
"No, you can't do this to me. We are allies. You can't break our agreement." Lu Sanyuan's face was contorted with pain.
"You failed to fulfill our agreement first. A piece of trash like you is no longer qualified to be my ally." The buzzing sound came from his mouth again.
Seeing the same person speaking two completely different voices alternately, the surrounding followers felt their scalps tingle and retreated to a distance, watching Lu Sanyuan in the arena warily.
Qiu Honglei was also somewhat afraid. She wasn't afraid of fighting, but she was afraid of this unknown and strange thing.
Zuan narrowed his eyes slightly, could it be...?
At this moment, Lu Sanyuan seemed to know his fate and asked in despair, "How did you enter my body? I clearly did not take the pills you gave me!"
