Chapter 80: Chapter 74: Break Out of the Encirclement!_3

Under the pressing crisis, the two didn’t even speak to ask questions but suppressed their doubts in their hearts.

Another period of time went by, as long as it took to drink a cup of tea, but the situation remained in a deadlock.

Just when Li Xiangyun and his companion thought they had the victory in hand, the situation on the field suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

“What are you doing!”

Li Xiangyun’s face turned to one of instant horror as he let out a roar of anger.

He saw six Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators rushing towards the central control Array Core, and before the two Li family Foundation Establishment Cultivators could stop them, they self-detonated at the base of the Jade Pillar.

“Boom…”

A massive explosion echoed to the heavens, the Array Core began flickering unpredictably, and the light curtain shook wildly, as if it would shatter at any moment.

“Scoundrels, you’ve ruined my great plan!”

Li Xiangyun and his companion were furiously enraged.

Although the second-tier Array was very strong, it could only defend against external enemies; its internal defensive strength was not so formidable.

Under the self-destruction of several Qi Refinement Cultivators, the impact was evidently significant.

Li Xiangyun and his companion frantically channeled Mana into the Array Core, hoping to stabilize the Array. Unfortunately, the outcome left both of them disappointed.

The Cultivators within the Array were all showing expressions of terror, and some unrest started to appear among them, clearly the abrupt change had made them consider their options.

Lu Li had been observing his surroundings the whole time and noticed the initial movements of the group. Still, he was utterly unable to stop them from self-destructing.

Ye Yuchan and others beside him also showed faces of concern; all of this was predicted by Lu Li, apparently, the opponents were prepared in advance.

At this moment, the several Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators outside of the Array seized the hard-earned opportunity, fully activated their attack magic tools, and powerful Demonic Qi surged upward as the magic artifacts fiercely smashed towards the Array.

“Bang…”

With a loud noise, due to the instability of the core and the enemy’s assault, the Array suddenly dimmed and then the Array Core itself split apart.

The Array had been thoroughly breached!

“Go!”

At the moment the Array shattered, Lu Li immediately mounted the Aminokaze and flew toward the northwest. Lu Yuting and others followed closely behind, blending into the escaping crowd, completely inconspicuous.

The surrounding Cultivators also sprang into action, flying en masse towards the outside of Bright Sun Island.

While protecting Lu Yuling and fleeing, Lu Li surveyed the situation around him.

He saw six Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators had completely encircled the two Li family Cultivators.

“All of you, go after those fleeing Cultivators. How much spoils you get depends on your own abilities,” said the middle-aged leader of the Demon Cultivators, his face chillingly cold as he addressed the group of Qi Refinement Demon Cultivators.

As soon as the words fell, a group of Demon Cultivators chased after the targets, turning into streaks of rainbow light that quickly vanished into the void.

Seeing that they were surrounded, Li Xiangyun and his companion’s faces tightened. Instantly, they retrieved their Defensive Magical Artifacts and positioned them above their heads.

Rich treasure light enveloped them, yet it provided not a hint of security.

The leading Demon Cultivator was apparently a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator and was slightly stronger than Li Xiangyun, who was also in the late stage.

As for Li Zhengyang, who was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he was nearly on par with the remaining five Demon Cultivators.

“Kill!”

The leading Demon Cultivator issued the death order, and soon a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators engaged in fierce combat, filling the void with murderous aura and stirring up massive waves.

Observing the scene behind, Lu Li actually sighed in relief.

Thankfully, the group of Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators didn’t care for these Qi Refinement Realm weaklings, merely sending a group of Qi Refinement Demon Cultivators to pursue them. The two from the Li family could probably hold out for a while, by which time Lu Li and his companions would have long since fled.

Whether the two Li family Cultivators could break through the encirclement depended on their own fortune.

Lu Li, watching the large group of Qi Refinement Realm Demon Cultivators pursuing from behind, felt no concern and continued to lead Lu Yuling and the others swiftly across the surface of the sea.
