135: I'll assist you in the main attack.

However, Yao Delong's figure vanished once again like a phantom!

Only a faint afterimage remained in place, which was shattered by that terrifying giant claw!

Yao Delong's true body had already appeared dozens of zhang away, his golden crow setting sun sword pointing obliquely at the ground, a drop of dark purple demonic blood slowly dripping from the tip.

His breathing was steady, as if that thrilling, peerless assassination by teleportation had been nothing more than a casual stroll.

"Hiss—!"

"Tele... teleportation!?"

"A Nascent Soul Stage old monster!?"

Across the entire battlefield, whether it was the Cultivators fighting the Yao Beasts or the terrified Mortals, everyone gasped in unison, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets!

Exclamations of disbelief rose one after another!

Teleportation! This was a spatial Divine Ability that only Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could master!

How could this guy before them, whose aura was clearly only at the "Late Foundation Establishment Stage," possibly perform it!?

Even Li Chen, who was knowledgeable and of prominent background, was completely stunned at this moment, his mind going blank.

As a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator, he seemed only a step away from the Nascent Soul Stage, but in reality, it was an unbridgeable chasm!

He couldn't even touch the threshold of the method of teleportation! Just who... exactly was this Yao Delong!?

"Don't just stand there!"

Yao Delong's cold voice rang out like a thunderclap, instantly snapping the shocked Li Chen back to reality.

"I will trap it, you focus on dealing full damage!"

Before the words had even faded, Yao Delong's eyes narrowed, and his hands formed seals like phantoms!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four sword lights of different colors, but equally brilliant with spiritual light, shot out from his storage ring!

They were clearly four extraordinary High Grade Earth-Grade Weapon Flying Swords!

The four swords, along with the golden crow setting sun sword in his hand, instantly wove together in the air to form an incredibly profound formation diagram!

"Great Five Elements Sword Formation—Trap!"

Hum—!

The five Flying Swords burst into brilliant light, with gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow five-colored radiance flowing ceaselessly. Instantly, they formed a massive, five-colored light barrier covering dozens of zhang, trapping the Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King—which was rolling in a frenzy due to intense pain—firmly inside!

Inside the light barrier, the power of the Five Elements rotated and crushed, while Sword Qi slashed horizontally and vertically, continuously weakening the giant lizard's Demonic Power and restricting its movements!

"What an exquisite sword formation!"

Li Chen's heart was once again stirred with tumultuous waves. The proficiency of this formation control technique and the sheer power of the sword formation far exceeded his imagination!

But he was a Prodigy after all; he instantly suppressed the shock in his heart, and a fierce killing intent erupted in his eyes!

"Die, you wicked beast!"

Li Chen roared, pouring his internal Yuan power without reservation into the long saber in his hand!

The Moyang Sect's signature saber technique—the Azure Underworld Mountain-Severing Slash—was pushed to its extreme by him!

A terrifying cyan blade aura, as if capable of severing mountains and tearing the firmament, carried unparalleled sharpness and a will of destruction as it viciously slashed toward the Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King, which was trapped in the sword formation, bleeding profusely from its left eye, and suffering from greatly reduced perception!

The Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King's left eye was ruined, and the intense pain was piercing. Furthermore, being trapped by this strange Great Five Elements Sword Formation, where the power of the Five Elements rotated and crushed, its movements were hindered, and its Demonic Power could not circulate smoothly.

Facing Li Chen's long-prepared lethal strike, it could only rely on instinct and its formidable Physical Body to take the hit head-on!

Clang! Puchi!

The blade aura struck its scale-covered spine, erupting in blinding sparks. Although it failed to completely break through the toughest scales, the terrifying impact force and sharp Saber Intent still tore through several scales, leaving a massive wound deep enough to see bone! Demonic blood gushed out like a fountain!

"Roar!"

The Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King roared in pain repeatedly, frantically thrashing its giant tail and spewing poison mist, attempting to attack the sword formation's light barrier and Yao Delong outside the formation.

However, the Great Five Elements Sword Formation rotated ceaselessly, with the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other, neutralizing and deflecting most of its attacks. Yao Delong's figure was elusive, like a butterfly flitting through flowers, pacing outside the formation. His fingertips changed seals, continuously adjusting the sword formation to keep it firmly trapped.

Li Chen seized the opportunity, his saber light like a waterfall. Sharp cyan blade auras, like maggots on bones, continuously slashed at the relatively vulnerable parts of the Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King exposed by its rolling and attacking—its abdomen, joints, and neck!

With the precise coordination of Yao Delong's sword formation, every one of Li Chen's slashes achieved remarkable results!

In just a moment's time, seven or eight terrifying wounds, deep enough to see bone and bleeding profusely, had been added to the Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King's massive body! Its aura had also noticeably withered significantly!

Xin Yuelan stood in the distance, watching Yao Delong, who was moving with ease within the sword formation and allowing Li Chen to display his Divine Might merely by using a trapping formation. Her red lips under her mask tightened, and her heart turned cold.

She recalled that day's life-and-death battle outside the Yin Yang Sect... Back then, to deal with her, Yao Delong had exhausted all his trump cards, used all his means, and even had to resort to that strange Pill Fire Fusion method just to barely succeed!

Yet now, facing this Sixth-Rank Yao King, which was equivalent to a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator and even more troublesome due to its thick skin and flesh, he appeared so... relaxed?

By merely relying on the sword formation to trap the enemy and coordinating with Li Chen's attacks, he had managed to severely wound it!

This huge contrast filled her with a sense of desperate powerlessness. Was there really any hope of escaping from him? How... how could this bastard's growth speed be so fast!?

"Roar—!!!"

Driven to a dead end, the Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King finally went completely berserk!

It let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar, and from the gaps in the dark purple scales on its massive body, blinding blood-red light suddenly erupted!

A violent, chaotic Demonic Power, filled with an aura of destruction, soared into the sky!

Innate Secret Technique—Berserk Rage!

Its body seemed to have expanded a size, its muscles bulging, and its aura instantly skyrocketed!

Although it had not truly broken through to the level of a Seventh-Rank Yao General, its Demonic Power intensity, physical strength, and speed had reached a terrifying level!

Its only remaining right eye was completely covered in blood-red, leaving only a pure desire for slaughter!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In its berserk state, the Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King's strength surged. Every collision and tail swipe caused the light barrier of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation to distort violently, emitting groans of being unable to bear the load!

The spiritual light of the five Flying Swords also dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Not good! The sword formation is about to break! Retreat quickly!" Yao Delong's expression shifted slightly as he shouted sharply. At the same time, he abruptly retracted his hands!

Before the words had even faded!

Crack—!

Under a full-power tail strike from the Purple Scaled Poison Lizard King, covered in blood-red light, the light barrier of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation shattered with a boom!

The five Flying Swords let out a mournful cry and flew back to Yao Delong's side with dimmed spiritual light, where they were quickly put away by him.

The berserk giant lizard broke free from its restraints, its blood-red single eye instantly locking onto Yao Delong and Li Chen outside the formation!

That monstrous, fierce aura made even Li Chen feel a palpitation in his heart!

"Fellow Daoist! This beast has gone berserk, its strength has skyrocketed, I fear it is difficult to contend with head-on!" Li Chen quickly flew to Yao Delong's side, his expression extremely grave.

Yao Delong, however, remained calm, as if the breaking of the sword formation just now was a trivial matter. A confident arc even curled at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Li, do not panic. Just wait on the sidelines and seize the opportunity. For what comes next, watch me."
