108: Chapter 108 Breaking the Formation
This sudden turn of events caused Chen Mingyuan, who was fiercely attacking Ye Yi, to freeze, his eyes filled with horror.
He never expected that Ye Xuan would have a hidden trump card.
However, this brief lapse in concentration gave Ye Yi an opportunity.
Ye Yi also threw out a Talisman toward Chen Mingyuan.
An explosion rang out, and the flesh on Chen Mingyuan's face and body was blasted open, blood gushing out.
"Aaaaah...! I'm going to kill you!" In his excruciating pain, Chen Mingyuan roared crazily as he also brought out a Talisman and gathered his spiritual energy.
This blood-red Talisman shot out countless blood-red long needles, which focused their attack on Ye Yi like arrows leaving a bowstring.
Ye Yi naturally recognized this Talisman; back then, Chen Mingyuan had relied on it to slaughter all the bandits on the mountain!
Chen Mingyuan roared, "Die!"
Ye Yi raised his sword to strike down the blood needles, but he was horrified to find that they possessed corrosive power upon contact; several large holes were instantly pierced through his spirit sword.
"This Talisman is not simple!" Ye Yi was greatly alarmed and hurriedly retreated.
Chen Mingyuan had gone mad. As the son of a Sect and a cultivator at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, when had he ever been pushed into such a pathetic state!
Just as he was about to increase his spiritual energy to tear Ye Yi into ten thousand pieces, he suddenly heard an eagle's cry.
The cry was long and resonant as a White Eagle suddenly descended from the sky and charged at Chen Mingyuan, its sharp claws instantly severing the hand holding the Talisman.
"Puchi—"
Blood erupted from Chen Mingyuan's severed arm like a fountain. The blood-red Talisman lost its spiritual energy support, tracing a strange arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, instantly losing its luster.
Chen Mingyuan froze on the spot before excruciating pain swept through his body like a tide. He looked down at his empty right wrist, the madness in his eyes replaced by extreme terror.
He screamed shrilly, "My hand! My hand!"
At this time, Yun Yue, who was trapped in the Formation, looked at the White Eagle in surprise. She naturally remembered it was the same one that had saved them before.
Seeing the White Eagle hovering around Ye Yi, she was also extremely surprised. She hadn't expected this White Eagle, which appeared to be a Yao Beast, to actually be Ye Yi's spirit beast.
Ye Yi said to the White Eagle, "Xiao Yu, go and destroy those Command Tokens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu soared high and then dove down rapidly like an arrow from a bow. Under its sharp claws, the Command Tokens with their astonishing defense were instantly torn apart, and the entire Formation let out a low hum.
Xiao Yu dove again, and with a piercingly loud sound, its claws collided with another Command Token.
This time, the token could no longer withstand such a powerful impact. The spiritual energy on its surface dissipated instantly, followed by a "crack" as it shattered.
The moment the token shattered, the entire Spirit-Locking Array shook violently, and the power suppressing spiritual energy in the air weakened significantly.
"Two more left!" Ye Yi rejoiced. Without any pause, he swung his saber at another Command Token.
To the side, Immortal Master Kuangdao was completely panicked. He roared, "Kid, you dare!"
He exerted a sudden force, knocking Ye Xuan back, and then lunged toward Ye Yi.
Ye Xuan was shaken until his blood and Qi roiled, and a trace of blood once again seeped from the corner of his mouth.
But he didn't care at all, using his sword to continue his fierce assault.
"Seeking death!" Immortal Master Kuangdao was beyond furious, swinging his great saber to strike at Ye Xuan.
At this critical moment, Yun Yue suddenly erupted with a powerful force. It turned out that after the Spirit-Locking Array's power weakened, she could finally mobilize a sliver of spiritual energy.
After breaking free from the chains, she unhesitatingly gathered that sliver of spiritual energy into a Sword Qi and shot it toward Immortal Master Kuangdao's back.
Sensing the killing intent behind him, Immortal Master Kuangdao could only temporarily abandon his attack on Ye Xuan and dodge to the side. The Sword Qi grazed his shoulder and left a deep mark on the stone wall.
Ye Xuan took the opportunity to let go and dodge to the side, temporarily escaping danger.
Ye Yi also seized this chance and ordered Xiao Yu to destroy the second Command Token.
With the second token destroyed, the power of the Spirit-Locking Array completely collapsed. They could finally use their spiritual energy freely!
Feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body, Ye Yi was overjoyed. Being able to use spiritual energy meant his confidence was instantly restored.
Immortal Master Kuangdao's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water. With the Formation broken, not only had he lost his advantage in suppressing Ye Xuan and Ye Yi, but his own spiritual energy had not yet fully recovered.
More importantly, he hadn't expected Yun Yue to still be able to launch an attack.
Chen Mingyuan was completely dumbfounded. With the Formation broken, Immortal Master Kuangdao might not be able to win. He knew he was completely finished!
"Kill him! Don't let him escape!" Ye Xuan immediately shouted.
This Immortal Master Kuangdao was exceptionally cunning. If he escaped again, there would be endless trouble!
Before Ye Xuan's shout had even faded, Ye Yi had already moved. He drew another intact Spiritual Saber from his waist and charged forward.
The surging spiritual energy in his body flowed through his Meridians and gathered on the long saber in his palm, the blade instantly emitting a layer of chilling light.
He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, sending gravel flying, and his body lunged toward Immortal Master Kuangdao like an arrow from a bow, the blade pointing straight at his heart.
Immortal Master Kuangdao had no way to retreat now. He forcibly activated the spiritual energy in his body that had not yet fully recovered and held his great saber horizontally in front of him, barely blocking Ye Yi's powerful strike.
A loud "Clang!" rang out as the sound of clashing metal hummed.
Immortal Master Kuangdao felt his arm go numb and a sharp pain in the web of his thumb. He couldn't believe it—was this really the strength a Qi Refining Level 3 could possess?!
Although Ye Yi's cultivation wasn't high, his strength was immense. When he charged, he was like an out-of-control wild bull, and even Ye Xuan had to avoid his brute force.
Ye Xuan caught up to strike with his sword, and Yun Yue's incantations were constant, the swords behind her cutting off Immortal Master Kuangdao's retreat like rain.
The three of them directly pushed him into a desperate situation.
"You're not qualified to take my life!" Immortal Master Kuangdao's face was distorted. If Lord Xuan Ming hadn't been busy and unable to help, how could he have been pushed to this point by these few fellows?
Especially Ye Xuan and Ye Yi, these two Loose Cultivators of unknown Schools—their underhanded tricks were countless, from Talismans to Yao Beasts!
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which landed on the great saber in his hand. The originally dull blade was instantly enveloped in a strange bloody light, and a violent aura spread out.
"Not good! He's going to use the Blood Burning Power Burst!" Yun Yue's expression changed, and she immediately warned them.
The Blood Burning Power Burst was a forbidden technique that used the burning of one's essence blood as a price to unleash power far beyond one's own for a short time.
But afterward, one's cultivation would surely plummet, and it might even endanger their foundation.
Yun Yue hurriedly controlled her swords to attack Immortal Master Kuangdao densely, hoping to stop him from activating the forbidden technique.
But Immortal Master Kuangdao was prepared. He swung his saber fiercely, and a blood-colored Saber Qi instantly cut through the green sword rain while simultaneously slashing toward Yun Yue.
Ye Xuan and Ye Yi stepped forward together, striking at the Saber Qi to block the blow.
In that brief delay, Immortal Master Kuangdao's forbidden technique was already fully activated.
His body swelled slightly, his eyes became bloodshot, and his aura was several times stronger than before.
"Die!" The saber in his hand expanded several times as it slashed toward the three of them, the pressure blocking all their paths of retreat.
"Join forces!" Ye Yi shouted, and he and Yun Yue immediately channeled their spiritual energy.
Their spiritual energy combined in front of them, forming a defensive barrier that blocked the attack of the blood-colored Saber Qi.
"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, and the three of them were knocked back several steps by the shockwave.
Immortal Master Kuangdao used the explosion as cover to turn and flee forward. He knew well that the duration of his Blood Burning Power Burst was limited; once it passed, he would no longer be a match for Ye Xuan and the others.
