100: Vajra Trapping Demon Formation

"Vajra Demon Trapping Formation, rise!"

Seeing that Nascent Soul Stage Evil Cultivator trying to flee, the Formation Masters who had long been prepared in the distance immediately activated the Formation.

In an instant, a giant gilded golden bell phantom enveloped the entire mountain, along with the surrounding miles of land.

The golden bell phantom was covered with dense Buddhist scriptures, and atop the bell was an angry-eyed Vajra phantom looking down.

"Nine Palaces Enemy-Locking Formation, rise!"

Immediately after, another massive Formation emerged, and a giant Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared in the sky.

Then, black and white chains shot out from the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Diagram, accurately landing on every evil Cultivator.

These chains seemed both illusory and real; no matter how these evil Cultivators attacked, they could not sever them.

Once entangled by these chains, they could clearly feel that they could not leave the range of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Diagram unless they could break the Formation.

As soon as these two Formations were activated, all the evil Cultivators present understood that today's outcome would be a fight to the death!

"Old Ghost Youhun, where do you think you're running!"

"Old Ghost Youhun, weren't you quite arrogant before? Why are you running now that you've met us?"

Seeing the Nascent Soul Stage Evil Cultivator in the evil Cultivator group decisively start to flee, the two Nascent Soul Stage Experts from the Demon Slaying Alliance immediately gave chase.

Seeing the two Formations sealing the heavens and locking the earth, leaving no chance of escape, Old Ghost Youhun could only grit his teeth and stop, then look back at the two people pursuing him.

"Do you truly intend to drive us to extinction!"

Old Ghost Youhun glared and questioned with a tone full of determination.

"Old Ghost Youhun, the number of innocent Mortals and Cultivators you've slaughtered during this time is as high as a million! Your crimes deserve death!"

"That's right! We intend to drive you to extinction! An evil Cultivator like you shouldn't exist in this world in the first place!"

Upon hearing this, the two Nascent Soul Stage Experts also shouted at him with eyes full of killing intent.

"Humph! Just a bunch of Mortals and ants; if they're killed, they're killed. What's the big deal!"

"You need to kill Yao Beasts for your cultivation; what's wrong with us killing a few people for ours?"

As Old Ghost Youhun spoke, he raised his hand and took out a skull carved like ink jade.

The next second, a dozens-of-meters-high black skull phantom enveloped Old Ghost Youhun, its eyes burning with black nether flames.

The black skull phantom opened its huge mouth and spat out a large number of black ghosts, rushing toward the two Nascent Soul Stage Experts in a sky-covering swarm.

On the other side, the other evil Cultivators also began to engage in battle with the people from the Demon Slaying Alliance.

The terrifying aftershocks of the battle caused the mountain below to crack and stones to fly.

Before long, a mountain several hundred meters high was shattered into ruins by the terrifying aftershocks.

In the distant sky, Zhang Daobai looked at the battle scene in the distance, his heart suddenly filled with fervor.

This was a true battle between Cultivators, looking full of passion and shock.

Meanwhile, Lin Luoxue's gaze remained fixed on Mo Xuanxiao, focusing intently on his battle.

Unconsciously, she raised her hand and used her sword finger to mimic Mo Xuanxiao's Sword Technique.

As the battle reached a fever pitch, a large area of dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and Golden Thunder appeared within the dark clouds.

For a moment, a terrifying pressure with majestic power enveloped the entire battlefield.

"That is... Evil-Warding Golden Thunder!"

Seeing the familiar Golden Thunder in the sky, Zhang Daobai quickly recognized it as the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder specifically used to counter evil Cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Lin Luoxue gave up observing Mo Xuanxiao and turned her gaze to the sky full of Evil-Warding Golden Thunder.

Those Evil-Warding Golden Thunders were summoned by the Formation and were several levels stronger than the ones performed by Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue.

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue began to observe the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder with full concentration.

If they could grasp the true meaning within, the power of their Golden Thunder Evil-Breaking Sword Technique would be even greater.

The terrifying pressure brought by the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder made all the evil Cultivators below feel an inexplicable panic.

Even when performing evil techniques, their power was inevitably weakened by ten to twenty percent.

A moment later, the sky full of Evil-Warding Golden Thunder transformed into spears of Golden Thunder, shooting toward the evil Cultivators below like a heavenly judgment.

Seeing this, the people from the Demon Slaying Alliance stopped and scattered to avoid being accidentally injured.

Meanwhile, those evil Cultivators, looking at the spears of Golden Thunder that were like their natural enemies, used their life-saving trump cards one after another.

"Boom!"

With a series of thunderous roars, a golden light lit up across the entire battlefield.

Countless resentful Souls and evil Qi were forcibly annihilated amidst the roars of the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder.

After the golden light disappeared, almost all Golden Core Stage and below evil Cultivators were turned to ash by the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder.

As for the remaining evil Cultivators, their bodies were covered with scorched marks, and more than half of their evil Qi had been blasted away.

"Is this the true power of the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder?"

Zhang Daobai looked at the shocking scene after the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder fell and muttered to himself.

With the advantage in numbers and strength, the Demon Slaying Alliance was completely overwhelming the group of evil Cultivators.

Moreover, the people from the Demon Slaying Alliance seemed to be settling personal grudges; although they could have killed all the evil Cultivators cleanly, they were in no hurry to deal the final blow.

Instead, they seemed to be torturing them, cutting off arms and legs but not heads, stabbing kidneys and lungs but not hearts.

Just then, Zhang Daobai suddenly noticed an unusual evil Cultivator.

Although this evil Cultivator was only at the Late Stage Golden Core, he was fighting back and forth with three Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators.

He also had several high-level treasures on him; even after the Evil-Warding Golden Thunder's bombardment, his black robe was not damaged.

"This person's identity is definitely not simple!"

After noticing this abnormality, Zhang Daobai and many people from the Demon Slaying Alliance all thought of this point.

Soon, an Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator decided to take action personally to capture this evil Cultivator who appeared to have an unusual identity.

When dealing with evil Cultivators, they didn't care about righteousness or not bullying the weak; that was for people, not beasts.

Seeing a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator flying toward him, the evil Cultivator felt something was wrong.

He quickly broke away from the three Golden Core Stage Cultivators he was fighting and flew toward the edge of the Formation without looking back.

Seeing the evil Cultivator trying to escape, the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Demon Slaying Alliance immediately took out a golden longbow and condensed a golden long arrow, aiming it at the evil Cultivator.

After the golden arrow left the string, it instantly transformed into a Golden Phoenix, charging toward the evil Cultivator's back.

This arrow made the evil Cultivator instantly feel a fatal threat, forcing him to stop and turn around to face the Golden Phoenix.

The evil Cultivator took out a bone plaque and crushed it forcefully; after the bone plaque shattered, a stunningly beautiful woman with white hair and white clothes instantly appeared in front of him.

"Empress Yin!"

The moment this woman appeared, many people on the battlefield stopped and turned to look at her.

Empress Yin was one of the tower masters of the Yin Yang Tower, one of the three major evil Cultivator forces in the Yinyue Mountain Range.

It was said that she possessed the Pure Yin Body, with excellent talent and Aptitude, and had long ago broken through to the Soul Transformation Stage.

Her combat power was enough to Rank among the top three of all evil Cultivators in the Yinyue Mountain Range.

After Empress Yin appeared, she directly raised her hand and made a grasping motion in the void; the Golden Phoenix transformed from the golden arrow was instantly crushed by an invisible force, dissipating into a cloud of golden light spots in mid-air.

"No! This is just an Incarnation!"

Soon someone noticed something was wrong and quickly spoke up to remind the others.

Hearing this, the people from the Demon Slaying Alliance breathed a sigh of relief, while the remaining evil Cultivators became even more desperate.

Empress Yin's Incarnation turned to look at the battlefield, then looked back at the person behind her, and said softly, "Let her go!"

Empress Yin's voice wasn't loud, but it was heard clearly by everyone.

Empress Yin's tone was calm, yet it revealed an overbearing authority that brooked no refusal.

In the distance, the two Nascent Soul Stage Experts besieging Old Ghost Youhun also noticed Empress Yin's Incarnation.

They both turned their gazes to the evil Cultivator behind Empress Yin's Incarnation.

Someone who could summon Empress Yin's Incarnation was clearly an evil Cultivator from the Yin Yang Tower, and their status was definitely very high.

"Could it be her?"

Zhang Daobai looked at the evil Cultivator behind Empress Yin's Incarnation and suddenly thought of something, speaking in surprise.

"Who?" Lin Luoxue asked curiously.

"In the Yin Yang Tower, besides the tower masters Empress Yin and Emperor Yang, as well as the reclusive Grand Elders, the one with the highest status is the contemporary Saintess of the Yin Yang Tower, Yue Liuli."

"It is said that the Saintess of the Yin Yang Tower, Yue Liuli, possesses the legendary Grand Yin Sacred Body and has reached the Late Stage Golden Core at only twenty-five years old. It seems that person should be the Saintess of the Yin Yang Tower, Yue Liuli."

Zhang Daobai looked at the evil Cultivator behind Empress Yin's Incarnation, and a look of heat suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He wasn't lusting after Yue Liuli's body, but was very interested in something else of hers.

"Luxue."

"Hmm?"

"What do you think of the name Taiyin Sword Body?"

"!!!"

Zhang Daobai's words startled Lin Luoxue; she soon seemed to understand something and turned to look at Yue Liuli in the distance.

"Taiyin Sword Body... sounds pretty good!"

After carefully recalling the information about the Grand Yin Sacred Body, Lin Luoxue turned to look at Zhang Daobai and smiled meaningfully.

"It is indeed good!" Zhang Daobai also began to laugh.

On the distant battlefield, when everyone heard Empress Yin's words, their eyes fell on the evil Cultivator behind her.

If Zhang Daobai could guess it, how could they not?

"She is the Saintess of the Yin Yang Tower, Yue Liuli!"

At this time, someone spoke up, directly revealing the evil Cultivator's identity.

"Heh, it's just an Incarnation. Even if you came in person, I wouldn't be afraid of you. Let her go? Impossible!"

A Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator left Old Ghost Youhun and flew in front of Empress Yin's Incarnation, speaking with a face full of disdain.

Empress Yin did not get angry upon hearing this, but looked at him deeply, her Aura receding slightly.

"Li Daoshan, if you let her go, I can owe you a favor."

"What a joke! What use do I have for a favor from an evil Cultivator?" Li Daoshan laughed disdainfully upon hearing this.

Empress Yin's gaze turned cold, but she did not give up. Instead, she continued, "Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Artifacts—as long as you let her leave, I will give you a satisfying reward."

"I believe that as long as I capture her, you will give me even more!"

Facing Empress Yin's temptation, Li Daoshan spoke with a clear mind.

"Since we cannot reach an agreement, then let us fight!"

Empress Yin understood in her heart that these people definitely had no intention of letting Yue Liuli go, so she had no choice but to resort to her final method.

"Use the blood fiend formation breaking nail."

Empress Yin's voice transmission echoed in Yue Liuli's ear.

In the next second, Empress Yin raised her hand and grasped at the void, a silver-white longsword appearing in her hand.

Seeing this, Li Daoshan flicked his sword fingers, and eight crimson-gold longswords flew out, shooting toward Empress Yin.

As for the others, seeing the situation, they no longer held back and began to harvest the remaining evil Cultivators.

Meanwhile, that Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator raised his golden longbow once more and fired several arrows at Yue Liuli in quick succession.

Yue Liuli, who was rushing toward the edge of the Formation, felt a sense of crisis from behind and decisively crushed the necklace hanging from her chest.

In the next second, a phantom of a full moon emerged behind Yue Liuli, effortlessly blocking those golden arrows.

"Heh! It seems this Saintess of the Yin Yang Tower is even more important than I imagined."

Li Daoshan, who was engaged in battle with Empress Yin, sneered upon seeing this.

"Hmph! Bullying the small with the great—is this the conduct of you Righteous Path people?" Empress Yin snorted coldly, mocking him in an icy tone.

"Hahaha! Bullying the small with the great? Then what about you evil Cultivators who don't even spare unborn infants?"

Li Daoshan retorted with wild laughter, as if he had heard the world's biggest joke.

Empress Yin fell silent. She really wanted to argue that she had never done such a thing, but once labeled an evil Cultivator, any such rebuttal was useless.

On the other side, after reaching the edge of the Formation, Yue Liuli raised her hand and took out a dark red nail.

The blood fiend formation breaking nail was an advanced version of the blood soul array breaking nail; its refining method was even more cruel and bloody, but its Formation-breaking effect was also superior.

Yue Liuli activated the blood fiend formation breaking nail, slamming it with all her strength against the barrier of the Vajra Demon Trapping Formation.

In an instant, a massive amount of resentful Souls, carrying the blood fiend formation breaking nail, crashed into the Formation barrier, grinding against the Buddhist scriptures on the Formation.

Just then, that Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator holding the golden longbow caught up, switching the bow for a broadsword as he charged toward Yue Liuli.

Seeing this while focusing on breaking the Formation, Yue Liuli hurriedly took out two more bone tablets and crushed them with force.

In an instant, two beautiful women with ample breasts and hips, dressed in revealing gauzy clothes, appeared behind Yue Liuli.

"Damn it! How does she have so many Incarnations protecting her?"

Seeing this, the Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator's expression turned grim.

This was because the strength of these two Incarnations was one at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul Stage and the other at the Late Stage Nascent Soul Stage; although they couldn't exert the full power of their original bodies, they were enough to stop him.

Soon, the two Incarnations began to fight with the Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Meanwhile, Yue Liuli seized the time to attack the Formation with all her might.

Sensing the information coming from the Formation, the Formation Masters in the distance quickly relayed the news to the others.

Upon receiving the news, two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and several Golden Core Stage Cultivators soon rushed toward Yue Liuli.

Seeing this, Empress Yin, who was originally trading blows with Li Daoshan, couldn't help but have a flash of anxiety in her eyes.

After glancing at Li Daoshan, Empress Yin forced him back with a sword strike and then condensed a full moon in mid-air.

This full moon quickly solidified, emitting moonlight that made one's entire body feel chilled.

"Moon Wheel, Slash!"

Empress Yin used all the power of this Incarnation to slash the full moon above her head toward the group rushing to capture Yue Liuli.

After unleashing this strike, Empress Yin's Incarnation dissipated in mid-air.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the silver-white full moon, how could Li Daoshan not understand Empress Yin's intention? He cursed inwardly and then pursued the moon with all his strength.

At the same time, the group in the distance going to catch Yue Liuli felt chilled all over after being locked onto by the full moon.

They felt as if their Souls and bodies were frozen, stiffening in mid-air and unable to move.

They could only watch as the silver-white full moon grew larger in their pupils.

Just as the moon was about to reach them, Li Daoshan successfully blocked its path.

Li Daoshan aligned the tips of his eight swords to form a sword shield in front of him, colliding with the full moon.

There were no sparks or loud metallic clangs. After a momentary pause, the moon sliced through the sword shield.

Seeing this, Li Daoshan quickly manipulated the eight swords to sandwich the moon in the middle.

While Li Daoshan was focused on dealing with the moon, Yue Liuli finally opened a half-meter-wide hole in the Formation barrier.

Seeing the hole, Yue Liuli's face filled with excitement. Without the slightest hesitation, she hurried to crawl through it.

But in the next second, her body came to a halt. It wasn't that she was unwilling to leave, but the black-and-white chains on her body held her fast.

Looking down at the chains around her waist, Yue Liuli thought for a moment before a look of resolve flashed in her eyes.

She pulled out a silver-white dagger and stabbed it into her own heart without hesitation.

This scene dumbfounded the Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator behind her.

What does this mean? Committing suicide because she can't escape?

Are we some kind of irredeemable villains?

Would we really torture you mercilessly if we caught you? Hmm... actually, that does seem possible.

While he was lost in thought, Yue Liuli's body suddenly transformed into a streak of black light, shooting through the hole in the Formation barrier and flying away at high speed.

In Yue Liuli's previous position, a cracked puppet lay quietly.

"A substitute death puppet!?"

Seeing this, his eyes widened, filled with shock and envy.

If one were to discuss the best life-saving trump cards, a substitute death puppet undoubtedly held a place.

It could absorb a fatal blow while sending the bound user ten or even a thousand miles away.

Looking in the direction where Yue Liuli had disappeared, he wanted to pursue her, but he couldn't get away.

"Sigh, I'm going to be punished when I go back."

Looking back at the crowd in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

An Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator failing to catch even a Late Stage Golden Core Stage Cultivator—not only would he be punished, but he might also be laughed at by those old fogies for half a year.

High in the distant sky, Zhang Daobai looked in the direction where Yue Liuli had disappeared and couldn't help but laugh.

Originally, he had planned to see if he could have Youying steal her back after she was killed or severely injured.

He hadn't expected that she would escape on her own before the plan even started.

"Youying, you pursue her first," Zhang Daobai immediately ordered upon seeing this.

Youying was undoubtedly the fastest among them, and it was also the only one that could catch up to Yue Liuli.

Hearing this, Youying instantly vanished into the Void Realm, pursuing the direction where Yue Liuli had disappeared.

Finally, Zhang Daobai started the spirit boat, bypassed the distant battlefield, and also followed in the direction where Yue Liuli had disappeared.

Once away from the battlefield, Zhang Daobai no longer concealed himself, pushing the spirit boat to its maximum speed and accelerating.

Although Yue Liuli had sustained some injuries, they didn't hinder her movement. If she managed to get away, Zhang Daobai would only be left with regret.

It was like an angler hooking a huge fish he'd never caught before, only to have it escape while he was reaching for the net.

Just as Zhang Daobai thought, with the help of the substitute death puppet, Yue Liuli successfully escaped into a mountain forest.

Looking at the wound on her chest, Yue Liuli quickly took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

At this moment, besides being severely injured, the spiritual power in Yue Liuli's body was also nearly exhausted.

But she didn't dare find a place to heal and recover her spiritual power. Instead, she took out a silver-white spirit boat and continued her escape without pause.

Not long after Yue Liuli left, Youying arrived at the spot where she had landed.

After confirming the direction she took, Youying continued to pursue Yue Liuli.

On the other side, Zhang Daobai, who was traveling at full speed, quickly adjusted his direction after sensing that Youying had changed course.

"It seems I guessed correctly," Zhang Daobai muttered to himself.

The Rank of Yue Liuli's spirit boat was much higher than Zhang Daobai's, so its speed was also much faster.

However, Zhang Daobai was not in a hurry because Youying had already found her.

On the silver-white spirit boat, after taking several Medicinal Pills, Yue Liuli began to sit in meditation and regulate her breathing.

She was still within the territory of the Demon Slaying Alliance and had to recover her condition as quickly as possible to deal with the upcoming crises.

Just as Yue Liuli entered her cultivation state, a dark shadow suddenly emerged quietly behind her.

Upon seeing Yue Liuli, Youying unhesitatingly raised its hand and clawed toward her Dantian.

But just as its claws were about to touch Yue Liuli, a flash of white light instantly blocked its attack.

"Pfft!"

The commotion from behind instantly disrupted Yue Liuli's Qi, forcing her out of her cultivation state and causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood as her injuries worsened.

But Yue Liuli had no time to suppress her injuries. She hurriedly stood up, moved from her spot, and took out a Jade Talisman as she turned to look.

But strangely, there was no one in the position where she had just been.

Yet she had clearly felt someone ambushing her from behind just now, only for it to be blocked by her protective Spiritual Artifact.

Ignoring her injuries, Yue Liuli quickly scanned her surroundings, hoping to find the hidden person.

But after searching for a long time, she found no trace of the attacker. The previous ambush felt like a hallucination, as if it had never happened.
