Chapter 947: Sudden Attack
Luo Li nodded slightly, her eyes sweeping across the crowd before finally landing on Lan Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you are responsible for monitoring the movements in the city. If you find anything unusual, notify me immediately."
Lan Xiaoxiao readily agreed: "Don't worry, Luo Li, I will keep a close eye on them."
Luo Li looked at Shi Heng again: "Master, have the pills been distributed?"
Shi Heng nodded. "They have been distributed to the disciples in the city, and everyone's strength has improved. However, the power of the Phantom Spirit Pearl is too strong. You must use it with caution to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Luo Li smiled slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes: "I understand. Although the power of the Phantom Spirit Pearl is strong, I will use it with caution. The most important thing now is not to let those forces succeed."
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the courtyard. A guard hurried over with a nervous look on his face, "Young Master, this is bad! The defensive formation to the west of the city has been destroyed, and an unidentified spiritualist has broken in!"
Luo Li frowned, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "As expected, he is here."
She said, "But at this point in time, we should just send someone to test the waters. Xiaoxiao, Brother Wanbai and I will go over there. Master, you two stay here for now."
After saying that, she quickly turned around and headed towards the west city gate with Song Wanbai and Lan Xiaoxiao.
She knew clearly that since they had decided to act secretly, they would never easily reveal their whereabouts. The destruction in the west of the city was probably just their bait, and the real target might be the core of the formation of Buli City, which was the key to controlling the entire defense of Buli City.
Luo Li, Lan Xiaoxiao and Song Wanbai quickly rushed to the west of the city, only to see that the originally solid defensive formation had been torn into a crack, and several people were stopped by the disciples of Bulicheng.
Luo Li's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand and waved it. A spiritual barrier instantly sealed the crack, blocking their retreat.
"It's just a test." Lan Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, unsheathing the long sword in her hand, pointing the blade directly at the black-clothed spiritual masters, "Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
Song Wanbai stood beside Luo Li, scanning the surroundings with vigilance, and whispered, "Be careful, they may have a backup plan."
Luo Li nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Xiaoxiao, make a quick decision and don't give them a chance to pass on the news."
Lan Xiaoxiao responded immediately, her figure as fast as lightning, and she rushed into the black-clothed spiritual master in an instant.
Her swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword strike carried a biting chill. Although several black-clothed spiritual masters were quite powerful, they were defeated one after another under her attack.
Luo Li stood in place, forming seals with her hands, and spiritual energy flowed through her fingertips.
She did not attack directly, but focused her attention on the surrounding environment.
She knew very well that these black-clad spiritual masters were just bait and the real threat might be hiding in the dark.
Sure enough, just when Lan Xiaoxiao was about to deal with the last black-clothed spiritual master, a black shadow suddenly attacked from the side and went straight for Luo Li!
Song Wanbai was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He flashed in front of Luo Li and slapped out with his palm, engaging the black shadow head-on.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Song Wanbai was knocked back several steps, and the black shadow also revealed its figure - it was a middle-aged man in a gray robe, with a gloomy face and a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
"As expected of the Young Master of Buli City, you're indeed alert." The gray-robed man chuckled. "But do you think you can stop us with just a few of you?"
Luo Li's eyes were cold as she said calmly, "The You Clan's people are really impatient and are taking action so quickly."
"Who said I'm from the You Clan?" The gray-robed man laughed lightly, "I'm just a passerby who wanted to exchange some ideas with the Young Master of Buli City."
Luo Li's expression turned cold, "That's ridiculous."
Before Luo Li finished speaking, the gray-robed man suddenly flashed and turned into a shadow, heading straight for Luo Li.
He was extremely fast and almost in the blink of an eye he had already approached Luo Li. A dark soul power condensed in his hand, carrying a cold aura, and went straight for Luo Li's throat.
Seeing this, Song Wanbai hurriedly attacked again, but the speed of the gray-robed man was far beyond his expectations. Before his palm wind touched the other party, the gray-robed man had already bypassed him and continued to approach Luo Li.
Luo Li's expression remained unchanged. She quickly formed seals with her hands, and a dazzling spiritual power barrier condensed in front of her, blocking the attack of the gray-robed man.
The two forces collided, making a low roar, and the spiritual energy fluctuations spread out, shaking the surrounding buildings slightly.
"As expected of the young master of Buli City, you are quite capable." The gray-robed man sneered, his figure flashed again, and he retreated several feet in an instant, putting some distance between himself and Luo Li.
Lan Xiaoxiao had already dealt with the black-robed spiritual masters. Turning around, she saw the gray-robed man with a flicker of anger in her eyes. "You're playing tricks on me! You dare to come to Bulicheng and act wildly? You're courting death!"
Before she finished her words, the sword in her hand had already turned into a cold light and pierced the heart of the gray-robed man.
The gray-robed man was not in a hurry. He waved his hand lightly and a black spiritual barrier appeared in front of him. Lan Xiaoxiao's sword pierced the barrier with a crisp sound, but failed to break through.
"Little girl, you have quite a temper." The gray-robed man chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. "But you can't hurt me with brute force alone."
Lan Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, and the sword's momentum changed. A strong chill suddenly burst out from the sword's edge, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.
The gray-robed man's barrier gradually began to crack under the erosion of the cold air.
"Interesting." A hint of surprise flashed across the gray-robed man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He clasped his hands together, and the black soul power suddenly increased. The cracks on the barrier healed quickly, and instead forced back Lan Xiaoxiao's coldness.
Luo Li frowned slightly when she saw this.
She could see that the gray-robed man's strength far exceeded their previous expectations, and it would be difficult for Lan Xiaoxiao to win alone.
"Xiaoxiao, step back." Luo Li said in a low voice, and at the same time, she formed seals with her hands again. A golden soul power surged out of her body and turned into a golden chain, heading straight for the gray-robed man.
Seeing this, a serious look flashed in the gray-robed man's eyes.
He obviously recognized the power of Luo Li's move and did not dare to take it head-on. He quickly retreated, trying to avoid the pursuit of the chain.
However, the golden chain seemed to have a spirit, chasing after him relentlessly without slowing down at all.
The gray-robed man gritted his teeth. He had originally wanted to force Luo Li to use the Phantom Spirit Pearl, but now it seemed that it was impossible.
He moved, as if to escape.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Seventeen, Xiaoliu, catch him."
The light of the contract formation suddenly appeared, and Xiaoliu and Shiqi appeared at the same place in an instant.
As soon as Xiaoliu and Shiqi appeared, they quickly locked onto the location of the gray-robed man.
Xiaoliu's body was as fast as lightning, and he turned into a shadow in an instant, rushing straight to the back of the gray-robed man.
