Chapter 79: Chapter 74: Break Out of the Encirclement!_2

Li Xiangyun and his companion immediately cast several magic spells toward the central control pillar in the plaza. Soon, the jade pillar began to emit dazzling light that shot into the sky and instantly merged into the array light screen.

Gradually, the array stabilized.

“Fellow cultivators, act now to intercept the Qi Refinement cultivators outside and relieve the pressure on us two,” they ordered.

“This Star River Sky Water Array is a second-tier, top-grade big formation, strong enough to hold until our Li Family Cultivators arrive.”

“The Li Family will surely not forget everyone’s friendship! If anyone dares to secretly defy us, hmph…”

As Li Xiangyun reached the last sentence, his face turned cold, his threat unmistakable.

The cultivators around changed expression and dared not procrastinate, promptly summoning their magic artifacts to attack beyond the array.

Lu Li and his group also conjured their attack magic tools, slashing outwards at the array, each selecting a Demon Cultivator’s magic artifact to intercept.

“Boom boom boom…”

In a moment, the sounds of collisions and battle cries were endless, and the array light screen shook violently under the attacks of several Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators, the tremendous force making it feel as though everyone inside was under the weight of a mountain, making breathing difficult.

A powerful aura of malevolence filled the nearby battlefield, the void instantly became filled with dust and smoke, shrouding the entire Bright Sun Island.

Lu Li specifically chose a Qi Cultivation tenth-layer Demon Cultivator to face off against, and with Aminokaze, intercepted the opponent’s red flying saber artifact outside of the array light screen.

No matter how much the other increased their mana output, Lu Li was always a bit stronger, fighting evenly matched and inconspicuously in the midst of the entire battlefield.

The middle-aged Demon Cultivator on the other side showed a bizarre expression, then suddenly reduced his mana output, though his flying knife artifact shone even brighter, clearly just for show.

Lu Li cooperated well, letting Aminokaze’s aura pour out but without triggering much of its power, creating an impression of tremendous force. The two thus tangled in the void, knife light and sword qi clashing wildly, putting on a brilliant display.

It was clear both were seasoned fighters; in this large-scale battle, recklessly consuming mana was asking for death.

Lu Yuting and the others beside them also chose Demon Cultivators of similar cultivation levels, successfully intercepting the opposing artifacts.

The Qi Refinement cultivators in the vicinity each picked an opponent, tacitly not attacking outright, but merely putting on a convincing show.

Not far from Lu Li, cultivators from the Chen Family and the Lin and Wang families were also involved. Seeing Chen Wuluo and others, Lu Li couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

And so time passed slowly, and half a quarter hour later.

Outside the array light screen, countless magic tools stirred crazily in the void, various treasures and malevolent auras scattering wildly, the battlefield becoming increasingly chaotic.

With the help of these Qi Refinement cultivators, Li Xiangyun and his companion had managed to stabilize the array.

However, the prolonged transfer of mana had left both looking a bit pale.

They each took out a medicine pill to restore mana and swallowed it, with a medium-grade spirit stone still held in their hands.

Feeling the slow restoration of mana inside their bodies, Li Xiangyun revealed a confident expression and sneered coldly at the several Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators outside the array.

“You won’t be able to break through this formation, so stop wasting your efforts. If the Li Family elders arrive…”

“Is that so? Then I shall wait and see!” the leading Demon Cultivator scoffed dismissively.

The six Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators once again fully activated their attack magic tools, their powerful auras imposing, intimidating everyone present.

Six top-grade magic artifacts loomed in the void, and the overwhelming Demonic Qi and sky-reaching malevolence converged, stirring the surrounding sea and raising huge waves.

“Kill!”

The six artifacts accumulated their momentum to the limit, striking the array light screen with the weight of ten thousand jun.

“Crack…”

Only a dissonant sound that split the void was heard as the six artifacts struck the array light screen, causing the entire formation to tremble wildly, ripples spreading out in all directions like water waves.

But moments later, it returned to its original state.

“Hmph… You’re wasting your effort,” Li Xiangyun, seeing that the array was still solid, finally relaxed and mocked the Demon Cultivators.

Meanwhile, the two continued to tirelessly send mana toward the control center.

For a time, the battle reached a stalemate.

The few Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators outside the array weren’t in a hurry, continuing their strange, methodical assault.

Lu Li scanned the situation on the field, feeling that something was amiss.

If things continued this way, these Demon Cultivators couldn’t possibly breach the array. If the support from the Li Family arrived, it would be of no benefit to the attackers.

Obviously, they couldn’t be so unwise; there must be something they were relying on to be so confident and bold.

Soon, he began to relay a message to his parents and Lu Yuting, “If the situation changes, escape immediately in the direction away from the Foundation Establishment cultivators, there’s no need to deliberately head toward Mystic Moon Island…”

Lu Yuting’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, “Li, have you sensed something?”

Afterward, Lu Li shared some of his guesses with everyone.

Ye Yuchan looked worried, “Li’s words make sense, these Demon Cultivators can’t be that foolish.”

Thinking it over, they all felt a sense of heaviness in their hearts.

What happened next confirmed Lu Li’s conjecture.

At that moment, Lu Yuting spoke seriously, “Yu Ling is not highly skilled; please look after her, Li.”

Ye Yuchan and Lu Chen were taken aback, wondering,

“Lu Yuting has the highest cultivation level, why ask Li to take care of Lu Yuling.”
