Chapter 154: Feigning Weakness
A dozen or so breaths later, Yang Jiuli appeared at the mouth of the valley.
There is a stream here, with lush vegetation.
Yang Jiuli's appearance had already alerted the two tiger demons.
With a roar, the two winged tigers flapped their wings and flew towards Yang Jiuli, spewing out a fierce wind that attacked directly.
At the same time, the Black-Winged Fiend Tiger spread its wings, creating howling winds that transformed into wind blades that slashed towards Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli stopped in mid-air, grabbed Li Yourong with his left arm, and swung his sword at the two ferocious tigers in front of him with his right hand.
brush!
A chilling aura burst forth from the sword, causing snowflakes to bloom in the air as it slashed towards the two ferocious tigers with immense sword energy.
He then unleashed the ninth move of the Snowdrift Sword Technique: One Sword Drifts Snow Seals the Vast Ocean.
The sword energy whistled past, and the chilling aura swept away like a long river, vast and mighty. As the sword energy spread out, the black evil winds spewed out by the two evil tigers were directly frozen in the air, turning into ice crystals, which then fell to the ground. The wind blades were also frozen in an instant.
brush!
The sword energy followed suit.
The two ferocious tigers flapped their wings and dodged away.
While the ferocious tiger was dodging, Yang Jiuli had already unleashed two sword strikes, sending two streams of sword energy rushing forward like a long river.
These two moves are actually the "Sword Subduing Dragon" move from the Thirteen Sword Forms.
The powerful sword energy roared, like a winding river of swords sweeping towards the two ferocious tigers, attempting to entangle and bind them.
Like a sword subduing a true dragon!
The two ferocious tigers were unable to dodge in time and were directly entangled and bound by the sword river.
The chilling aura froze his hair, turning it into frost, each hair like a silver needle.
"This kid's swordsmanship is truly remarkable, it should have reached the second level, which is the Foundation Establishment level inheritance. I wonder where he obtained the sword inheritance from? If we can get it, why worry about not being able to create a family of sword immortals?" Outside the valley, Huang Teng quietly arrived.
After witnessing Yang Jiuli's skillful move, he was captivated and developed a desire for Yang Jiuli's swordsmanship.
However, he was quite cautious and did not immediately step forward.
Instead, they were observing quietly.
Zhang Xuanli was also watching from the side, but he had already picked up a second-tier talisman that was crackling with lightning in his hand, ready to unleash it.
Roar!
At this moment, the two black demon tigers roared, and black demonic energy rose from their bodies.
With a flap of their wings, a powerful surge of magic shattered the Frostfire Sword River that bound them.
The two winged tigers managed to escape.
Then, their eyes flashed with ferocity as they looked at Yang Jiuli and pounced directly at him. With a flap of their wings, a malevolent aura swirled out, transforming into a tornado that swept towards Yang Jiuli from the left and right. They also spewed demonic energy from their mouths, which crashed down like pillars of rainbows.
"Haha, just as I expected, he's only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he can't possibly maintain the combat power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
At this moment, Huang Teng, who was outside the valley, was overjoyed. He moved and flew into the valley.
"These two demonic tigers are only at the late stage of the first rank, yet they can break free from the Sword River. What can they do to me?" Zhang Xuanli sneered and flew rapidly into the valley.
The two were clearly preparing to seize this opportunity to take down Yang Jiuli in one fell swoop.
The two flew into the valley.
Huang Teng summoned the "Azure Flame Wolf Smoke Bell" and hung it in front of him. This second-tier spiritual artifact grew to a height of seven feet and spun around.
With a hand gesture, a wisp of mist swirled from the bell, transforming into a skeleton that lunged at Yang Jiuli.
Zhang Xuanli threw out the second-tier 'Heavenly Thunder Talisman', which flashed and flew directly into the sky.
The talisman radiated light, transforming it into a talisman several feet in size, which then descended with an immense pressure.
Then, lightning flashed on the talisman, transforming into bolts of lightning that struck down at Yang Jiuli below.
In an instant.
Two tornadoes, transformed from demonic tigers, swept towards Yang Jiuli.
Behind them, azure flame skeletons, formed from the ghostly mist, lunged forward.
Lightning flashed overhead, like a net of lightning crashing down, leaving no way to avoid it.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli's gaze turned cold, and the 'Frostbite Sword' in his right hand hovered in front of him.
With a thought, a talisman flew out of his storage pouch at his waist.
With a flick of his hand and a chant, the talisman flashed, suddenly enlarged, flew directly to the top of his head, and emitted a dazzling mystical light, transforming into a light shield that enveloped the entire area six feet around him. The lightning bolts all struck the light shield.
Rumble!
The lightning struck the light shield, scattering bursts of fire, but it did not shatter it.
Yang Jiuli was in the middle of it all, and was unharmed.
The tornado whipped up by the demonic tiger was shattered by the mysterious light emanating from the light barrier the moment it touched it.
Moreover, even when Huang Teng summoned the Ghost Mist Skeleton to bite at it, it failed to devour the light shield.
The flames emanating from the skeleton burned towards them. The intense flames could burn a top-grade first-tier magic weapon, but they could not damage the light shield emanating from the mysterious light. In an instant, Huang Teng and Zhang Xuanli, who had made the sudden move, felt a tremor in their hearts and sensed that something was wrong.
"This is a second-tier mid-grade talisman, the 'Mystic Light Protective Talisman'..." Zhang Xuanli's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a loud voice.
A mid-grade second-tier talisman.
One of these is worth around three thousand low-grade spirit stones!
Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators simply do not have the wealth to purchase such talismans.
After using the "Mysterious Light Protective Talisman" to defend against the attacks from the three sides, a black and gold array plate appeared in front of Yang Jiuli.
"Black Fiend Whirlwind Formation, activate!" Yang Jiuli injected a wisp of divine sense into the formation plate, activating it.
Immediately, he made a hand gesture, and a deep voice echoed out.
Suddenly, in the area where the two black winged tigers were located, black light shot into the sky, and light patterns also shot into the sky at the mouth of the valley. An array light shield formed out of thin air in the sky above the valley, covering the entire area of 600 meters in radius.
High in the sky, a black dome of light obscured the heavens.
The valley was dark and oppressive.
The pressure from that second-tier formation was as heavy as a mountain, making it difficult for people to breathe.
The two black demon tigers were so overwhelmed that they trembled and immediately turned to flee.
However, the surrounding area has been isolated by the light shield, creating a closed space.
The two demonic tigers crashed into the array's protective barrier, and were blasted away by the black gale within, rolling several feet on the ground.
"This is a second-tier formation!" Upon seeing this, Huang Teng felt a chill run down his spine.
"When did you set up this formation?" Zhang Xuanli was terrified and looked at Yang Jiuli with disbelief.
They tracked them down and witnessed Yang Jiuli battling two ferocious tigers.
At the critical moment, the two immediately launched a swift and decisive attack, intending to kill Yang Jiuli.
During this period, Yang Jiuli had no time to set up an array.
call!
Just then, a cold light suddenly burst forth from beneath Huang Teng, and an extremely cold aura gushed out from the ground like a water column.
"This is..." Huang Teng was shocked and immediately looked closely.
But then he saw a sixteen-foot-long white jade python rise up from beneath him, spewing out extremely cold air.
Huang Teng moved, riding the wind beneath his feet, and soared upwards at lightning speed, flying to the side to dodge.
However, just as Huang Tengfei was dodging, black gales suddenly stirred around him, evolving into a huge vortex.
He was completely engulfed in the whirlwind.
A series of gusts of wind, like sharp blades, cut towards Huang Teng.
The swirling whirlwind further destabilized its center of gravity, lifting its body high into the air.
In a panic, Huang Teng pulled with both hands, and the light from his robes shone, forming a protective shield around him.
This is a second-tier robe.
That's why he dared to hunt down Yang Jiuli.
However, the protective aura formed by the robe was instantly shattered by the whirlwind blade.
A series of wind blades slashed towards Huang Teng.
Huang Teng immediately formed a hand seal, summoning the second-tier spiritual artifact in front of him, the "Azure Flame Wolf Smoke Bell." Azure flames immediately surged from the artifact, coiling around his body like a dragon, blocking several wind blades. However, the whirlwind stirred, and the wind blades continued to emerge, instantly shattering the protective flame shield formed by the azure flames, turning it into a stream of fire that dissipated. Countless wind blades then slashed towards Huang Teng himself.
"No..." Huang Teng cried out in grief, but before he could react, he was killed and his body fell from the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Huang..." Not far away, Zhang Xuanli felt a sense of dread.
It was Yang Jiuli who activated this second-tier formation, creating a whirlwind blade that trapped Huang Teng.
Huang Teng has an extraordinary background and profound cultural heritage.
However, they were no match for the second-tier formation and were killed in an instant.
"This is a second-tier high-grade formation!" After letting out a cry of shared sorrow, Zhang Xuanli flipped his hand, and a talisman immediately appeared in his palm. It was a second-tier barrier-breaking talisman. He chanted an incantation and immediately began to activate the talisman.
However, before Zhang Xuanli could activate the talisman, a cold jade python had already flown over, exhaling a burst of cold air from afar.
A chill swept in, causing frost to appear on Zhang Xuanli's wrists.
The light patterns of the 'Breaking the Forbidden Zone' he was about to activate dimmed and stopped activating.
Zhang Xuanli felt a chill run down his spine as his palms turned frosty. A surge of magical power coursed through his body, like a hurricane howling out from his arms, dispelling the frost.
However, as soon as Zhang Xuanli broke through the frost on his arm, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he heard the whistling of sword energy in his ear.
When he turned his head and looked closely, he saw three rivers of icy sword energy rushing towards him like autumn waters.
He moved his body and immediately dodged.
However, in the air, Yang Jiuli made a hand gesture, and the black mist on the array's light shield churned, with wind blades slashing down from the sky.
Zhang Xuanli didn't even have time to cast a spell; the patterns on his robes rose up, forming a light shield to block the attack.
Swish, swish!
In mid-air, the wind blades pierced Zhang Xuanli's protective light shield, causing cracks to appear instantly.
The next moment it shattered.
Dozens of wind blades crashed down from the sky.
In addition, the sword river had already attacked, piercing directly through his back.
"No..." Zhang Xuanli's eyes widened, and she cried out loudly, her face full of resentment.
However, dozens of wind blades annihilated it.
Zhang Xuanli's consciousness collapsed, and he died.
Only the mangled remains fell to the ground.
In mid-air, Yang Jiuli flipped his hand, and the 'Frosty Fiend Sword' disappeared into his storage bag.
With a flash, Xiao Bing flew to Yang Jiuli's side, carrying two storage bags and the 'Azure Flame Wolf Smoke Bell' which had shrunk to the size of a fist.
With a flick of his hand, Yang Jiuli brought two storage bags to his front. He then used his divine sense to probe inside the bags.
After confirming that there were no problems, I put it into my storage bag.
In addition, he summoned two ferrets from among the spirit beasts.
The little sable rubbed against Yang Jiuli's chest obediently.
"Go on!" Yang Jiuli patted the little guy's head.
The two little creatures flashed forward and immediately flew ahead, checking on the remains of Zhang Xuanli and Huang Teng.
Immediately, the two men's remains were wrapped in the little sable's magic and rolled in front of Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli glanced at it.
Huang Teng and Zhang Xuanli were in a terrible state, with their limbs broken.
Fortunately, he is still alive.
"It's still usable!" Yang Jiuli whispered.
He then flicked his hand, and a chilling aura swept out, freezing the two men's remains.
After doing all this, he rolled the two bodies into an empty storage bag.
Two ferrets spewed flames toward the mouth of the valley, trying to erase some traces in the vicinity.
A raging inferno rose up, and the two demonic tigers that Yang Jiuli had killed were instantly incinerated into ashes.
The entire valley was engulfed in flames, turning into a sea of fire.
