The Fire Root Cultivator was exceptionally decisive, summoning a raging flame as he flew towards the Elder with Long Eyebrows. However, at that moment, countless Purple Scale Flying Blades suddenly emerged from the two spatial rifts. Each of these Purple Scale Flying Blades possessed individual strength comparable to ordinary magical tools. The dense rain of Purple Scale Flying Blades immediately forced the Foundation Establishment Practitioner to retreat. Fortunately, the Cultivator reacted quickly, instantly summoning a massive Fire Circle artifact. As the Purple Scale Flying Blades flew into the Fire Circle, they emitted a series of "puff" sounds before dimming and retreating. By the time the Cultivator repelled the Purple Scale Flying Blades, the rifts between the two spaces had already healed, completely isolating them once again.
The Elder with Long Eyebrows let out a cold laugh, pointing his Gengjin Wutu Sword forward. The Flying Sword once again vanished into the void and swiftly sliced through the Spatial Barrier, reconnecting the two spaces. Xunuo sighed, feeling a sense of helplessness. The old monster at the Foundation Establishment Stage wielded unmatched power; he could repeatedly strike to break through space, while Xunuo lacked the strength to make several attempts at interception. If it weren't for holding a Teleportation Talisman that allowed for escape at any moment, Xunuo wouldn't dare attempt such a mana-consuming endeavor. For now, he could only do his best and hoped that Thunderstorm and the others would succeed quickly to relieve some pressure.
Xunuo couldn't help but glance upwards, just in time to witness Zhao Yihe's astonishing heart-piercing strike. This scene left Xunuo greatly shaken; it wasn't just the ferocity of that attack but also Zhao Yihe's formidable physical form after transformation that stirred envy within him for such a powerful Cultivation Method. However, following this strike from the Elder with Long Eyebrows, Xunuo had no time to spare for admiration and focused desperately on stabilizing the space within the formation. Fortunately, he knew that the battle outside had concluded and reinforcements were on their way, increasing their chances of eliminating their foes.
Indeed, Xunuo's hopes were not in vain. After slaying the Robust Cultivator, Thunderstorm and two others quickly gathered above the formation. Xunuo immediately sent them a message: they should first eliminate the Cultivator who highlighted the Fire Root. Within the Qian Kun Two Instruments Formation, this was the only Cultivator whose mana had not been diminished in any way; his threat level was second only to that of the Elder with Long Eyebrows. Eliminating these two would require far less mana and time compared to dealing with others. They couldn't afford to waste time.
Once their tactical roles were clearly defined, Xunuo focused primarily on stabilizing the formation. Thunderstorm's Azure Void Earth Hammer proved incredibly effective in this strategy of cornering their opponent. Under the influence of the formation, their enemy moved slowly and couldn't evade the near-instantaneous speed of Azure Void Earth Hammer; they could only summon their Fire Circle artifact to withstand it. Unlike the Purple Scale Flying Blades that relied solely on sharpness without sufficient force, one strike from Azure Void Earth Hammer caused flames around the Fire Circle to explode like fireworks, showcasing its tremendous power. Liu Canghai put away his Nine-Headed Bone Whip—an artifact he feared would be ineffective against Thunderfire—and summoned a Flying Sword Artifact instead, appearing intermittently beside their opponent to launch sneak attacks.
Zhao Yihe remained in his beast form above the formation, motionless and fixated on the fiercely resisting Fire Root Cultivator. This peculiar figure not only intimidated Xunuo but also instilled fear in Thunderstorm and Liu Canghai as well. This was evident from their positions outside the formation; Thunderstorm and Liu Canghai stood about ten feet apart at one end while Zhao Yihe stood alone at the opposite end.
At one moment, just as Xunuo repelled the Fire Root Cultivator and re-isolated both spaces, Zhao Yihe made his move. In an instant, he appeared drenched in blood at his original position. The Cultivator highlighting the Fire Root had a gaping hole in his right chest—the size of a large pot—his entire right shoulder collapsed as his right arm hung limply by his side, blood flowing down like a stream along his arm. The Fire Root Cultivator's eyes quickly lost focus as he looked down in disbelief at his chest. The Azure Void Earth Hammer descended without hesitation, smashing down on the still-dazed Fire Root Cultivator and turning him into a pulp.
Xunuo couldn't help but grin widely as he cast a deep glance at Zhao Yihe—was this what it meant to be in sync with a protagonist?
This fellow was a Wind Spiritual Root user; having witnessed Wind Spiritual Root Cultivators' escape techniques before, Xunuo finally gained some understanding of Zhao Yihe now. However, Zhao Yihe's nearly invincible close-combat style combined with his bizarre evasion speed—and his ability to elude Xunuo's Divine Sense—made Xunuo feel an overwhelming sense of admiration towards him. He glanced up at Zhao Yihe again; from this angle, it felt like he was looking up at him.
However, Zhao Yihe's next words brought Xunuo back down from his pedestal: "I still have one more strike left; clarify your target quickly." It seemed that activating such secret techniques took a toll on him.
Upon hearing Zhao Yihe's words, Xunuo wasted no time confirming their target and fully utilizing this super powerhouse. The next target he chose was not another Fire Root Cultivator because this particular one possessed not only Fire Root but also Water and Wood Spirit Roots—highlighting Wood Spirit Root specifically—and thus held no advantage within the Fire Sea Space due to mutual cancellation effects.
Xunuo chose a single Golden Spiritual Root Cultivator, who was a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage Cultivator. His Gold Spiritual Root attribute was not significantly restrained within the Fire Sea Space. More critically, his Golden Sword Artifact was powerful enough to rival the Gengjin Wutu Sword wielded by the Elder with Long Eyebrows. Additionally, the Golden Spiritual Root Cultivator's strength in offense and weakness in defense made it easier for Zhao Yihe to take advantage of him. Once Xunuo confirmed his target, Thunderstorm swiftly summoned the Azure Void Earth Hammer and struck hard. The space erupted with a series of deafening sounds, and the Heaven and Earth Vitality became chaotic.
As the Elder with Long Eyebrows broke through two Spatial Barriers with his sword, the area fell silent, filled only with an aura of death. The Elder felt a sinking sensation in his heart, fully aware of what had transpired. It was indeed true that what one feared would come to pass; his greatest concern was that the enemy would split up to break through. He could sense that if the power of this formation reached its limit, as long as he could gather one or two companions, he could unleash the Gengjin Wutu Sword three or five times to tear a large hole in the formation, allowing them to escape while the enemy would be unable to intercept them all.
He believed that once they were out of this formation, killing off a few minor threats outside would be a piece of cake. However, if the enemy eliminated the other Cultivators within the formation and concentrated its power to annihilate him, he couldn't guarantee he would survive. Anticipating Xunuo's strategy, he decided not to give Xunuo any opportunity to cast spells at ease.
His sharpest weapon was the Gengjin Wutu Sword, a Flying Sword that was not only the only Intermediate Magical Artifact among his team of Cultivators but also unique among all three teams. This Flying Sword could indeed break through Xunuo's formation, but after doing so, he dared not let it leave the formation; even a single strike against the formation would be done through sword light. He worried that if the enemy quickly closed the formation again, severing their Divine Sense connection, this Flying Sword would lose control. Ultimately, it was this formation that exerted too much pressure on him.
However, having reached this point, he had no choice but to unleash all the power of the Gengjin Wutu Sword and rely on this Flying Sword to forcefully break through the formation. He couldn't depend on others; in fact, others were in even more difficult situations and needed him to rescue them. The Elder steeled himself and grasped the sword's body with one hand, drawing blood from his palm which instantly seeped into the sword. This act not only enhanced the Flying Sword's might but also strengthened their bloodline connection.
Pointing at the sky, he shouted "Hah!" The Gengjin Wutu Sword emitted a dazzling golden light and shot forth like a bolt of lightning. Xunuo kept a close watch on the Elder with Long Eyebrows and felt frantic upon witnessing his series of actions. With one less opponent in the formation, Xunuo could strengthen its power slightly; however, it wasn't enough to fully utilize its mobility capabilities. Dealing with the Elder's Flying Sword meant integrating the formation's power without worry; yet with such dispersion of power within the formation, even slightly altering its direction was challenging.
Thunderstorm and Liu Canghai were fiercely attacking that Golden Spiritual Root Cultivator while Zhao Yihe seemed indecisive, his eyes darting back and forth. Xunuo shot him an exasperated glance but knew better than to push; he needed Zhao Yihe to seize his own opportunity in battle. Yet this current predicament made Xunuo extremely anxious. Suddenly, he saw the Elder with Long Eyebrows summon the Gengjin Wutu Sword. Xunuo's expression turned serious as he called upon the Heavenly Shadow Spike in preparation for a counterattack.
The Gengjin Wutu Sword slashed through the formation this time with brilliant radiance. Seeing this, Xunuo concealed himself along with Thunderstorm and others within the formation. The Golden Sword soared into the sky, flipping over as its tip pointed directly at the formation, ready for an immediate strike. Following closely behind was a Yellow Light carrying a Yellow Silk Umbrella that aimed to fly out through the massive gap in the formation. In mid-air, a Purple Light Halberd suddenly appeared and charged toward the Elder with Long Eyebrows. Prepared for this encounter, he coldly snorted as the Yellow Silk Umbrella flew out from the formation first, spinning rapidly while its tassels fluttered toward the Purple Light Halberd. The two artifacts collided instantly when Zhao Yihe made his move.
A scream that overshadowed even their clash echoed into the heavens. The protective Yellow Light around Elder with Long Eyebrows dissipated entirely as a massive wound opened from his chest down to his abdomen, spraying blood like rain back into the formation. Zhao Yihe trembled violently; his eyes glazed over as one giant claw gripped a piece of intestine tightly. The Gengjin Wutu Sword high above seemed heavily injured yet also summoned; with a sharp clang it rushed toward Zhao Yihe.
Xunuo shook his Formation Flag repeatedly and saw Zhao Yihe flickering erratically around the perimeter of the formation without any pattern. The Gengjin Wutu Sword glimmered as its sword light appeared to lock onto Zhao Yihe, flickering behind him unpredictably. Xunuo nearly gave up on dealing with enemies inside the formation and focused entirely on activating its mobility powers; even so, he couldn't shake off Gengjin Wutu Sword's lock-on as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
