Chapter 120: The Heavenly Fiend Wolf Formation
"Fellow Daoists, is there really no room for negotiation?" Li Ruoyu's gaze sharpened like a ferocious bird as he stared at Su Mancang and Yu Tieshan. "You both know that my cousin is about to form his core. With the help of my Li family, why shouldn't you become a top-tier Foundation Establishment family? It's not worth ruining your future for such a petty gain!"
"Hmph, we don't have the lofty ambitions of Patriarch Li. I just want to live!" Yu Tieshan said coldly.
"Without these spirit stones, my Su family would have already fallen apart by the time your ancestor reached the Core Formation stage!" Su Mancang said.
"It seems there's no room for negotiation on this matter?" Li Ruoyu said coldly.
"We urge Patriarch Li to immediately gather spirit stones!" Yu Tieshan and Su Mancang said in unison, cupping their hands in greeting.
"No spirit stones!" Elder Li Jun sneered. "If you continue to cause trouble, don't blame the Li family for being impolite."
As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from him.
"If they won't give it to us, then we'll have no choice but to go and get it ourselves!" Yu Tieshan said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with determination.
"Patriarch Yu, I hope you will reconsider. My Yunmeng Lake is not so easy to invade!" Li Ruoyu sneered.
As he spoke, flames rose from his body, and a vast aura swept out.
Three sparks condensed above his head.
These are the three flowers of 'Heaven, Earth, and Man' that only cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage can condense.
If one reaches the Core Formation stage, one can cultivate one's innate divine power.
Three flowers gather at the top.
A vast amount of fire magic swept out, transforming into a hundred-meter-wide lake of fire in the air.
Amidst the three sparks, a faint roar could be heard, as if a ferocious beast was lurking.
"What, you want to make a move?" On the flying boat, the one-eyed man Yan Jiuming strode out with a fierce look in his eyes.
He spoke in a cold and domineering tone.
As he spoke, a gray, menacing aura emanated from him, making him intimidating.
All that could be seen was the baleful aura surging from his dantian, which transformed into a gray, baleful lake suspended in the air.
Three gray Dao flowers also gathered above their heads, emitting a vast fluctuation of magical power.
The surge of magical power caused the array light barrier of Yunmeng Lake in front of it to dent slightly by three inches.
The aura of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was evident.
This is Yan Jiuming's Dao foundation; the strange phenomenon manifested by the "Yin Wind Sea".
The gusts of yin wind emanating from those three Daoist flowers were like wind blades, cutting through the void with a whooshing sound.
It made a creepy sound.
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid that my clansman will raze Black Wind Mountain to the ground after he reaches the Core Formation by interfering in the affairs of Yunmeng Lake?"
Li Ruoyu said with considerable authority.
"Hehe, the Li family patriarch?" Yan Jiuming said, "The Chu Kingdom's immortal sects have rules that disciples of different sects cannot interfere in the struggles between aristocratic families and immortal clans. My Black Wind Mountain is just here to collect a debt. If your Li family's patriarch in the immortal sects interferes, someone will deal with him."
"Naive!" Li Ruoyu sneered. "Today, I, Li, will make my words clear: anyone who trespasses on my Li family will be killed without mercy!" As he spoke, Li Ruoyu moved his hand, and a crimson light flashed at his waist, transforming into a crimson bow that flew into the air in front of him.
This was none other than the near-third-tier spiritual weapon, the "Crimson Dragon Blazing Bow".
As soon as it appeared, a burst of flames swept out from the bow.
Accompanied by the roar of a dragon that resounded through the heavens and earth, it seemed as if a dormant dragon was about to break out of the sea.
The moment the 'Crimson Dragon Blazing Bow' appeared, Li Ruoyu's large hand reached out to grab forward.
Instantly, flames wriggled in his palm, transforming into a giant fiery hand that gripped the bowstring of the 'Crimson Dragon Blazing Bow' and slowly pulled it back, poised to strike at any moment. Moreover, within the array light screen above his head...
boom!
A muffled sound rang out, and a vortex appeared out of thin air.
Intricate array patterns cascaded down from the vortex, intertwining and converging behind Li Ruoyu, transforming into a fiery array plate.
The array was aimed at the three sparks above Li Ruoyu's head.
Whoosh!
In an instant, from the vortex of flame array high in the sky, a vast amount of fire magic power poured down and poured into the array plate.
After the formation absorbed and transformed the energy, it poured it down onto the three Dao flowers above Li Ruoyu's head.
In that instant, Li Ruoyu's long hair flew wildly, and his aura suddenly soared, seemingly surpassing the late stage of Foundation Establishment and reaching the Great Perfection, approaching the Core Formation stage. He slowly pulled the bowstring, and the runes on the bowstring bloomed, frantically absorbing the fire-type magic power in his palm.
A surge of powerful magic flowed down from above, penetrating the bowstring and causing the 'Crimson Dragon Flame Bow' to shine brilliantly.
The roar of the dragon resounded, captivating all who heard it.
"Within ten breaths, withdraw from the Yunmeng Lake region, or don't blame me for being merciless with my arrows!" Li Ruoyu said in a calm yet authoritative tone. His rolling sound waves, like a raging storm, actually swept outwards through the array's light barrier.
Outside the lake.
Runes bloomed on the airship, evolving into a light shield that blocked the impact of the rolling sound waves.
Even so, the airship was still shaken slightly.
Su Mancang frowned, his face solemn, and whispered to Li Ruoyu as she drew the bowstring, "This 'Crimson Dragon Blazing Flame Bow' truly lives up to its reputation as a near-third-tier spiritual weapon. Combined with the 'Separating Fire Gathering Spirit Array' of Yunmeng Lake, its power is probably approaching that of a Core Formation True Person!"
Yu Tieshan also looked solemn. He glanced at Yan Jiuming beside him and whispered, "Only Master Yan can deal with Li Ruoyu!" It was precisely because of the Li family's powerful background that they had hesitated to come and forcibly collect the debt.
The reason I dared to come here is because I have Black Wind Mountain to rely on.
"Hmph, it's only right to pay back debts. Since the Li family of Yunmeng Lake is so immoral, today my Black Wind Mountain will act on behalf of Heaven!" Yan Jiuming's eyes turned cold. He stepped forward and said in a resounding voice, "Men of Black Wind Mountain, prepare to follow me and raze Yunmeng Lake to the ground!"
"Yes!" The Black Wind Mountain cultivators responded loudly from the rear, aboard the Black Gold Flying Boat.
"Tsk tsk, we should have broken the formation by force long ago. Why bother with the talk of courtesy before force? With this time, I, He, would have already destroyed Yunmeng Lake." On the flying boat, He Zizai, one of the Four Fiends of the Black Wind, grinned ferociously. As he spoke, he slapped his storage bag.
call!
A flash of light immediately appeared on the gold-inlaid storage pouch at the waist.
Five battle flags roared out.
Clang!
Guided by He Zizai's hand gestures, the array of flags flashed and landed in the five directions below.
In the blink of an eye, runes flashed on the array flags, and light patterns shot into the sky.
These intertwined light patterns evolved into a spiritual energy array plate suspended vertically in the air.
Whoosh!
Below, by Yunmeng Lake, the powerful energy of the earth veins was drawn in and gathered on the array flag.
After the local energy was injected into the array flag, a wolf howl actually rang out from within the flag.
Five streams of gray, malevolent energy shot into the sky and poured into the array plate high above.
Upon closer inspection, it appears that within the gray aura, there is a phantom image of a demonic wolf.
Five streams of gray evil energy merged in the high-altitude array, forming the nascent shape of a demonic wolf.
The wolf's howl shook the heavens and its sound waves were terrifying, not at all weaker than the roar of the dragon that the 'Crimson Dragon Flame Bow' had just emitted.
"This is a near-third-tier 'Heavenly Fiend Wolf Formation'..." Upon seeing this, Li Jun's face turned solemn within Yunmeng Lake.
"Hmph, thinking you can break this formation with this? Wishful thinking! Do you really think I'll give you the chance?" Li Ruoyu sneered.
As he spoke, the bowstring was already drawn to its fullest extent.
Flames surged around his body.
Then, Li Ruoyu loosened his grip, and the arrow flew off the bowstring, accompanied by a roaring burst of flames.
call!
The arrow flew away, creating a fiery dragon as it streaked across the void.
The flames wriggled and actually condensed on the arrow, transforming into a fiery dragon that lunged forward.
At this moment, in Yunmeng Lake, the crimson protective array cracked open, creating a vortex about ten feet wide.
The arrow, like a fire dragon, pierced through the whirlpool and shot directly towards the flying boat on the lake ahead.
Li Ruoyu intended to shoot and kill He Zizai on the flying boat in one fell swoop, so that the "Heavenly Fiend Wolf Formation" would be unable to be activated.
Whoosh!
As the arrows flew past, the fire dragon roared, whipping up waves of fire that crashed in like a raging torrent.
On the airship, the evolved light shield was directly shattered by the impact.
An overwhelming heatwave swept down.
Yu Tieshan and Su Mancang both looked solemn and immediately conjured protective light shields, but they were still forced to stagger back by the impact of the fire wave.
The fire waves on the arrows alone have this power.
It's not hard to imagine how earth-shattering the power of that arrow must have been when it fell.
However, just as the arrow flew out of Yunmeng Lake and Yu Tieshan and Su Mancang staggered backward, Yan Jiuming stepped forward.
With a flick of his hand, a black and gold gourd flew out from his palm, soaring into the sky and growing larger as it caught the wind.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a black and gold gourd that was about ten feet wide, and the gourd's mouth pointed at the arrow in the sky.
However, runes bloomed on the gourd's mouth, evolving into a vortex. The terrifying devouring power drew the flames on the arrow into the gourd's mouth, causing the crimson flame dragon's aura on the arrow to immediately weaken by three-tenths.
However, it was only for a moment. The arrow, carrying the fire dragon, swooped down and pierced the mouth of the gourd.
But then a fierce wind howled from inside the gourd, actually shredding the arrow and causing the fire dragon to dissipate.
Li Ruoyu's attack, which far surpassed that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was thus neutralized.
"It's resolved!" Su Mancang breathed a sigh of relief. "As expected of the person chosen by those adults!"
"It seems that Black Wind Mountain is enough for this battle!" Yu Tieshan breathed a sigh of relief.
His visit to Yunmeng Lake was merely for show.
Whether we can defeat the enemy depends on Black Wind Mountain.
Seeing Yan Jiuming's methods now, the last worry in my heart disappeared.
"A near-third-tier spiritual weapon!" Inside Yunmeng Lake, Li Ruoyu's face turned extremely gloomy.
"How could Black Wind Mountain have so many near-third-tier spiritual artifacts!" Li Jun's expression changed drastically.
First, He Zizai took out a near-third-order formation.
Now Yan Jiuming has taken out a gourd that is almost at the third tier, which seems to be specifically designed to counter the 'Crimson Dragon Blazing Bow'.
This made him uneasy.
"Hehe, without making some preparations, how dare I, Yan, come to disturb your Yunmeng Lake!" Yan Jiuming laughed menacingly.
"Gather!" At this moment, a palm-sized black iron array plate floated in front of He Zizai, who was next to Yan Jiuming.
He condensed a spell and poured it into the array plate.
Instantly, high in the sky, within the array plate formed by runes, a giant wolf shrouded in gray malevolent energy completely materialized. This giant wolf was twelve feet tall, and although it was formed from malevolent energy, it was lifelike, with the wolf fur on its back as fine as needles, shimmering with a ghostly light.
Once the giant wolf had fully taken shape, it extended its paws and stepped out from the array plate formed by the array runes. Then, the giant wolf's eyes flashed with ferocity and emerald flames. With a swift movement, it leaped towards the array light shield of Yunmeng Lake in front of it.
