Everyone in the forest saw the sword light, it was so bright and dazzling that it seemed to drown out all the colors around it.
The crowd was silent, even the sound of the wind disappeared, the world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then the second, third and more sword lights fell like rain curtains, and every time they passed, several black snakes struggled and fled. Xuan Shuzhi remembered that he had heard Hua Shi talk about the situation when dealing with the black snake in Yuan Lake. He suddenly came to his senses. He had guessed who the person on the cloud was at this time, and what happened now made him not know whether to be excited or worried, but since it had happened, he had no need to regret it.
He closed his eyes, sighed in his heart, and then raised his voice to everyone: "Those black snakes have become weaker, take advantage of now!"
After hearing his words, some people gradually came to their senses from their shock and went to deal with the black snake in front of them.
Soon someone noticed something was wrong. Just as Xuan Shuzhi said, all the black snakes that were hit by the sword light just now became weaker. The black snakes that had become so strong that they were difficult to fight against over time had now returned to the state where they could be killed at will when they just came out of the cave. It was as if they suddenly lost the power they had absorbed and were beaten back to their original form.
Those present were masters from various major sects and elders with high qualifications and seniority. They were not young boys who had never seen the world. So even though they were full of doubts about who the person who came to help them from above the clouds was, now was definitely not the time to care about these things. Everyone was taking advantage of the opponent's weakening and trying to deal with the black snake in front of them.
At this time, the people in Xuanling Pavilion were not idle either. A lot of black snake bodies had already piled up in front of Yi Zhan, Wen Zhong, Bai Heng and others, and they were all slowly dissipating. When Xuan Shuzhi saw the battle situation reversed, he immediately turned back and said to Ji Yuan on the other side: "Master Ji Yuan, we can hold them here for the time being. If you want to destroy the formation, do it now."
Ji Yuan frowned: "You mean you want me to go?"
Xuan Shuzhi said: "We can control the current situation, but we cannot destroy the formation outside. Apart from a few sects that are proficient in formations, only you, Spirit Master, can do this."
Ji Yuan asked: "Can I trust you?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it that the Spiritual Lord has something to ask of us?"
He glanced at the sky. The sword light continued to pour down on the forest like a falling meteor. Xuan Shuzhi didn't want the man's hard work to go to waste, so he quickly said, "There's not much time to hesitate. You should make a decision quickly."
Ji Yuan also looked up at the sky. He didn't say anything more. Just as Xuan Shuzhi said, he originally hoped that Xuan Shuzhi and others could help him. Now he had no other choice but to trust them. After all, although those sects who were proficient in formations were people of the spiritual way, they still adhered to the old dogma and were unwilling to agree to let him destroy the formation.
He hesitated for only a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll leave this to you guys first..." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sword light that kept swinging above his head, and whispered, "And him."
Xuan Shuzhi was slightly surprised, not knowing whether the other party had guessed the identity of the man in the clouds, but he had no way to confirm it with Ji Yuan, so he just nodded and said, "Don't worry."
The time that the man in the clouds bought for them was precious. Not only Xuan Shuzhi, but Ji Yuan also did not dare to waste it. After saying these words clearly, he immediately turned around and left the woods. Now everyone in the woods was busy fighting, and they were all excited by the appearance of the sword light and the weakening of the black snake. Few people noticed Ji Yuan's departure.
Xuan Shuzhi watched Ji Yuan's departing back until his figure disappeared, then he finally turned around and continued to fight the group of black snakes.
Yi Zhan had come to his side without knowing when, and had just withdrawn his gaze from Ji Yuan. He let out a long breath, and then forced himself to sound more relaxed as he said, "Do you really think it's okay to destroy the formation?"
Everyone in the entire Xuanqing Continent has long been accustomed to the existence of spiritual objects. It can be said that no one wants the passage to the spiritual realm to be closed and wants spiritual objects to disappear from people's lives, even Xuan Shuzhi.
"But now, apart from this, do we have any other options?"
Xuan Shuzhi shook his head and said helplessly: "Guard this place well and wait for Ji Yuan's result."
Although it was Ji Yuan who took the initiative to come to them, hoping that they could help him, even if Ji Yuan did not come, Xuan Shuzhi would definitely persuade Ji Yuan to go and destroy the formation himself, because they had the same goal, and because Xuan Shuzhi thought this was the best way. Even if destroying the entrance to the spirit realm and destroying the formation left by Xuan Qing's spirit in the past was not a good choice, he was not like those old antiques who thought that they had a better way to solve this matter perfectly.
I think the person who is helping them behind the clouds has the same idea.
Xuan Shuzhi's sight swept across the clouds in the sky again. The sword light continued to fall, as if it would never tire. Yi Zhan pursed his lips and followed his sight. He seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice: "Is he helping us?"
Xuan Shuzhi nodded silently. Not only Yi Zhan, but Wen Zhong and Bai Heng had also figured out who the attacker was, but they all tacitly kept silent and focused on dealing with the weakened black snake, trying to resolve the current dilemma.
Yi Zhan groaned softly, and after a while he couldn't help but ask, "How can he still be so absurdly strong? How can he attack like this? Won't his strength run out?"
He said this in a casual manner, but after saying this, he did not hear any response from Xuan Shuzhi. He stared at Xuan Shuzhi with a heavy face and said, "Don't tell me he is now..."
He had already guessed what might happen next, and Xuan Shuzhi did not intend to hide it. He closed his eyes and nodded: "You are right."
No matter how strong Fang Wei was, how much power could a wisp of soul carry? He had now released all the power of his soul and used the Spirit Sand Sword to cut off the spiritual power connection of the group of black snakes. Even if he had more power, it would have been exhausted by this time. And what would it be like when the spiritual power was exhausted?
At that time, that wisp of soul will completely dissipate, and consciousness will return to the body.
Yi Zhan's expression was cold, and he no longer spoke in the following battle, but his attacks became more and more ruthless, and he seemed to be full of anger. With the sword energy constantly coming from above his head, the black snakes were shattered and dissipated wherever he passed, and the murderous aura filled his body.
Xuan Shuzhi watched his actions, sighed in his heart, and finally did not speak again.
Wen Zhong and Bai Heng on the other side were also fighting the black snake. After the sword light appeared, the four former evil men were much more fierce than before. Even the people from other sects around them noticed the abnormality, but no one knew why they suddenly recovered from their fatigue. Everyone just thought that they were inspired by the arrival of help, and many people followed their example and fought against the black snake more quickly.
This battle was long and fierce enough for them. Many people were injured in the previous battle. Later, with the help of the sword light of the mysterious man in Yuntou, although the situation seemed to have eased, everyone was still unable to relax, only because the number of enemies was large and those black snakes seemed to be endless. Even with the power of the sword light to cut off the black snakes, they still found it difficult to end the battle.
With almost instinctive movements of hands and swords, they killed the black snake and then looked for the next one. By the end, everyone was almost gasping for breath due to exhaustion, but the pit still existed, and the appearance of black snakes seemed to be unstoppable.
Xuan Shuzhi didn't know how many times he had looked up in the direction where Ji Yuan had left in the distance. He didn't know whether Ji Yuan was actually destroying the formation and to what extent he had destroyed it. He only knew that if he couldn't succeed again, the people present might not be able to hold on any longer.
In fact, what he was most worried about at this moment was not the condition of the crowd. He knew that although he was struggling now, he was not completely unable to squeeze out any strength. What really worried him was the person on the cloud.
Too much time has passed. How long can that spiritual power last?
Just as he was worried, a muffled groaning sound suddenly came from the distance. Xuan Shuzhi looked up quickly and saw that an elder of Shuiyun City was being slapped away by an extremely ferocious black snake, with its back tightly pressed against the tree trunk behind him.
Xuan Shuzhi's heart sank slightly, and he hurried forward to support the elder, then turned around and swung his sword to deal with the black snake. It was not until this time that he discovered that the black snake seemed different from the other black snakes. The sword light had clearly cut through here, but the power of this black snake was obviously stronger than that of the other black snakes. It was obvious that the strange power it had absorbed had not yet been cut off.
The moment he understood this, Xuan Shuzhi's face immediately darkened. The elder who was saved by Xuan Shuzhi coughed twice and spit out blood, and then he spoke with difficulty: "Just now, the sword light came over and deviated halfway. It seemed to lose its accuracy. I don't know why I couldn't cut the black snake."
After holding on for such a long time, it has finally come to this moment.
The man's spiritual power must be almost exhausted.
Xuan Shuzhi hummed softly and tightly gripped the sword in his hand. All he could do was hope that Ji Yuan could do what he said as soon as possible.
Just a little faster, a little faster...
Unfortunately, his hope was not heard. Instead, something worse happened. Heavy blows were heard in many places at the same time. Then, several black snakes in the forest expanded in size and injured several masters with unusual ferocity!
"Azhi!" Yi Zhan's voice came suddenly, Xuan Shuzhi hurriedly looked up, only to find that Yi Zhan's gaze was actually above their heads.
Xuan Shuzhi hurriedly followed his gaze and realized that in the sky above their heads, a huge black snake had coiled up into the clouds. The dark figure gave off a strange chill. The black snake's body was stirring, and the clouds were blown away. At this moment, in the center of the clouds, the person who had been helping everyone to cast sword intent finally slowly revealed his figure from the chaos.
