337: Chapter 338: There are quite a few opportunities!

Li Xuanfeng seized the Opportunity, his figure darting out from the torn opening like a ghost. The Liuyue Scimitar in his hand flashed with cold light as he lunged fiercely toward Xiao Caiyue!

"Die!"

His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the scimitar cut through the Void Realm, aiming straight for Xiao Caiyue's throat!

He saw it clearly: the core of this Grand Array was this sickly woman! As long as he killed her, the Grand Array would break on its own!

Seeing this, Xiao Caiyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Talisman was locked in a stalemate with the Black-robed man's Nether Ghost Shield, and the suppressive power of the Grand Array had weakened due to the damage to the formation base; at this moment, she had no other defensive means at her side.

Yet, there was not the slightest panic on her face.

Her left hand flipped within her sleeve—another Talisman appeared in her palm!

A second-rank talisman of the highest grade—the Thunder-Light Electric-Fire Talisman!

"Go!"

Xiao Caiyue let out a low cry, and the Talisman flew from her hand, transforming into a blinding ray of lightning that shot toward Li Xuanfeng!

Her current Spiritual Qi was already at its limit from controlling the Grand Array, and she indeed only had enough left to activate one more Third-Tier Talisman. But to deal with this Foundation Establishment Early Stage Li Xuanfeng before her—a second-rank talisman of the highest grade was enough!

Seeing that Talisman, Li Xuanfeng's soul nearly left his body!

Although the lightning emitted by that Talisman was not as terrifying as the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Talisman from before, that destructive aura still made his entire body turn cold!

A second-rank talisman of the highest grade; if it hit him head-on, he, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, would be dead or severely injured!

"Damn it!"

He roared angrily and hurriedly sacrificed several defensive Talismans, laying down layers upon layers of light shields before him!

At the same time, he took out a small jet-black shield and poured his Spiritual Qi into it frantically. The small shield expanded rapidly in the wind, transforming into a black iron giant shield a zhang high, protecting him tightly from the front!

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The Thunder-Light Electric-Fire Talisman erupted with a roar!

The blinding lightning and scorching flames intertwined like a thunder-fire storm, instantly swallowing Li Xuanfeng!

"Ah—!"

Li Xuanfeng let out a shrill scream.

Those layers of light shields shattered like paper, and the black iron giant shield also melted rapidly under the scorching of the thunder and fire.

He resisted with all his might, but the power of the thunder and fire was too overbearing; his defenses could not hold out for long at all!

"Escape!"

This was the only thought remaining in Li Xuanfeng's mind.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, his figure turning into a streak of bloody light, tearing an opening from the edge of the thunder-fire storm and fleeing crazily into the distance!

But how could he escape?

A cold light flashed in Xiao Caiyue's beautiful eyes, and she performed a hand seal; the Formation Plate suddenly emitted a ray of spiritual light!

Within the Grand Array, that formless power condensed once again, descending directly upon the frantically fleeing Li Xuanfeng!

"Suppress!"

Li Xuanfeng's figure suddenly stiffened, as if gripped by a giant invisible hand, unable to move!

His pupils shrank sharply, filled with despair—"No—!"

The next moment, the remaining power of the Thunder-Light Electric-Fire Talisman erupted with a roar!

The blinding lightning and scorching flames completely swallowed him!

"Rumble—"

The explosion was deafening, and Li Xuanfeng's body instantly turned to ash in the thunder and fire; he could not even let out a second scream.

Only a jet-black Storage Pouch was blown away by the aftermath of the explosion, landing on the ground with a "clatter."

...At the same time.

"Puff—" Xiao Caiyue spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her already pale face was now so white it was almost transparent, with not a trace of color to be seen.

Her figure swayed, and she nearly lost her footing; the light from the Formation Plate in her hand dimmed slightly, and the suppressive power of the Grand Array weakened accordingly.

The Grand Array, Third-Tier Talisman, second-rank talisman... the continuous high-intensity activation had left her frail body unable to bear the burden.

Her already withered Meridians were now aching faintly, and the weak Spiritual Qi in her Dantian was nearly exhausted.

She forced herself not to collapse, raised her eyes, and looked at the Black-robed man.

...A good Opportunity! Seeing this, the Black-robed man spoke:

"Third-Tier Talisman, second-rank Formation Plate, and that silver-white Puppet... tsk tsk, this family fortune is thicker than mine, a demonic Cultivator."

He paused, his voice cold and sinister: "After I kill you, these things will all be mine."

As soon as he finished speaking— "Come out, all of you!" He waved his hand fiercely!

Three streaks of jet-black light flew out from his sleeves, landing in front of him with "bang, bang, bang!"

The light dissipated, revealing three coffins as black as ink! The coffins were engraved with twisted runes, emitting a nauseating corpse stench.

"Crack—crack—crack—" With three crisp sounds, the coffin lids exploded open simultaneously! Three corpse Puppets stood up slowly from the coffins!

These three corpse Puppets were cyan-gray all over, with hideous faces and exposed fangs, emitting a cold and evil aura from their entire bodies. Although they were far less powerful than the second-rank corpse Puppet from before, their individual auras were not weak, comparable to a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator!

"Roar—!" The three corpse Puppets let out low roars simultaneously, ghostly green flames flickering in their hollow eye sockets, and they lunged fiercely toward Xiao Caiyue!

...At the same time— "Bang!" The second-rank corpse Puppet punched the already immobile silver-white Puppet, sending it flying!

The silver-white Puppet's body tumbled several times in the air, crashing onto the ground in the distance with a "boom," kicking up a cloud of dust, and then it ceased all movement.

Lu Shiyin's face turned pale, and she repeatedly activated her dharma techniques, but the Puppet still showed no reaction. It had been completely destroyed.

The three first-rank corpse Puppets roared and lunged toward Xiao Caiyue! They were extremely fast, reaching her in the blink of an eye!

Xiao Caiyue's pretty face was cold as frost, and she tightly gripped that last Third-Tier Talisman in her hand—the Divine Thunder Talisman. This was her final trump card.

But her Spiritual Qi was only enough to activate this one Talisman. If she used it, she would completely lose her combat ability, and even... whether she could survive was an unknown.

But if she didn't use it—those three corpse Puppets had already killed their way to her!

Her gaze swept over the three corpse Puppets and then looked toward the Black-robed man in the distance. If she used this Divine Thunder Talisman on the corpse Puppets, there would be no one left to keep the Black-robed man in check.

This person was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator; once he caught his breath, she, along with the sisters Lu Shiyin and Lu Shiqing, would likely none of them survive.

If she used it on the Black-robed man—those three corpse Puppets would likewise tear her to pieces.

"Enough..." Xiao Caiyue took a deep breath, a flash of determination in her beautiful eyes. Even if she died, she would drag that Black-robed man down with her!

She was about to activate the Divine Thunder Talisman in her hand— "Whoosh—!" A sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the direction of Changge Hall!

Xiao Caiyue looked up abruptly! She saw—a dazzling golden light shooting up into the sky from Changge Hall!

That golden light was resplendent and eye-catching, like a second sun, tearing through the darkness and illuminating the entire Lake Heart Island!

Following the golden light were dozens of relatively weaker, yet equally formidable golden rays, like a swarm of meteors streaking across the sky!

"That is—" Xiao Caiyue's beautiful eyes widened suddenly.

The Black-robed man also looked up abruptly, a flash of shock and suspicion in his eyes. The golden light was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached them!
