260: Chapter 260 Spiritual Thought Takes Form!

Amid the collision,

The lightning snake shattered into several slender electric arcs, scattering into the air and rapidly dimming.

Patriarch Ekuang's beam of light maintained its remaining momentum, continuing to press toward Commander Su Qin like an enlarged iron nail, advancing along a straightened trajectory.

Commander Su Qin horizontally blocked with his whip, forming a silver-white electric arc barrier with the Lightning Whip in front of him. When the light beam struck the barrier, it produced a continuous tearing sound, and an expanding layer of cracks appeared on the surface of the electric arc barrier.

The aftermath of the collision had not yet dissipated before Mo Lin and the other members of the Yao Race already moved.

"A good opportunity."

Using the exploding light from the shattering lightning snake as cover, Mo Lin skimmed close to the ground toward the flank of the Buddha Hall, his claw tips digging into the gaps of the stone slabs and leaving several fast-moving scratch marks on the stone surface.

"Hurry!"

"Let this Patriarch Ekuang hold the line here, and let's go as well."

Shi Yuan did not respond. Dark brown Demon Power continuously poured into the ground, extending forward along the gaps of the stone slabs, bypassing the front area of the Buddha Hall, and simultaneously gushing out from both sides of the hall doors to form two slowly converging beams of light.

Xi Sha emerged from the shadows with both claws raised, dark cyan Demon Power condensing into two slender light blades at the tips of his claws.

"Break for me!"

The claw blades horizontally slashed toward the golden light emanating from the gaps of the hall doors. A low frictional sound came from the point of entry. The golden light did not shatter, but the brightness at the entry point dimmed noticeably.

Commander Su Qin turned his head, glanced at Liu Ruobing and Colonel Zhao Yuanan, and said, "Stop them."

"Yes!"

Liu Ruobing had already moved.

Her figure skimmed out from the rear of the Buddha Hall, landing on the stone steps to the right of the hall. With her hands forming seals, light cyan spiritual light spread to both sides from the soles of her feet: "Azure Wood Spirit Binding!"

The spiritual light transformed into countless slender cyan vines, entangling the dark brown Demon Power beam released by Shi Yuan. Under the entanglement of the vines, the Demon Power was continuously tightened, and the cracks on the surface of the light beam were extending at an accelerated rate.

Shi Yuan pressed his palms downward: "An old tree root dares to block me?"

The dark brown Demon Power beam advanced by an inch, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the vines.

Colonel Zhao Yuanan stood behind Liu Ruobing, a Talisman flying out and unfolding above the Buddha Hall.

"Mountain-Suppressing Talisman!"

Spiritual light fell from the surface of the Talisman paper, transforming into an earth-yellow light beam that pressed directly above Shi Yuan's Demon Power beam. The two forces squeezed against each other on the contact surface, emitting a continuous layer of low-frequency humming.

Shi Yuan did not raise his head.

"Even if the two of you come up together, you cannot suppress me."

Liu Ruobing did not release her hand seal posture.

"Then you can try and see."

Xi Sha's claw blades had already cut open the second layer of the golden Buddha light. The golden light at the entry point was continuously dimming, and the debris at the edges was falling off.

"Shi Yuan, stall those two people."

Mo Lin circled out from the flank of the Buddha Hall, his claw tips condensing dark green Demon Power as he pressed toward Liu Ruobing's direction.

Liu Ruobing turned sideways, her left hand releasing from the seal. A cyan spiritual light shot out from her palm, transforming into a shield interwoven from vines in front of her: "Azure Wood Shield!"

Mo Lin's claw blades crashed against the surface of the vine shield, producing a dull impact sound. A spot on the surface of the vines caved in, but it was not penetrated.

Liu Ruobing retreated half a step, and the shield surface returned to smoothness.

Colonel Zhao Yuanan took a step forward in the gap left by Liu Ruobing's retreat.

"Demon-Suppressing Talisman!"

The Talisman paper unfolded in mid-air, transforming into a slender golden chain that coiled toward Xi Sha's right wrist.

Xi Sha drew his claw blades back from the surface of the golden light, dodging sideways to avoid the landing point of the chain. The chain wrapped around the door frame of the Buddha Hall, making a crisp metallic collision sound. Xi Sha glanced at the place on his wrist where the chain had grazed: "You use your Talisman very accurately."

Shi Yuan suddenly withdrew both palms, the dark brown Demon Power rapidly compressing in his palms before exploding abruptly,

"Earth Vein Collapse!"

The ground cracked from the edge of the steps, the fissures extending to both sides and shattering a piece of the stone steps beneath Liu Ruobing's feet. The spiritual light of the vines dimmed for a moment.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xi Sha withdrew his claw blades from the surface of the golden light, sliding sideways to avoid the coverage area of the chain, and flicked a slender dark cyan Qi blade with his right claw toward Colonel Zhao Yuanan's direction.

"Watch out!"

Colonel Zhao Yuanan dodged sideways. The Qi blade slashed his robes, leaving a bleeding wound on his waist.

He did not look down. Pressing his wound with his left hand, spiritual power condensed in his palm to stop the bleeding.

His right hand pinched open another Talisman again.

Mo Lin turned from the flank of the Buddha Hall. The dark green Demon Power condensed in the center of his claws flicked out from the claw tips, silently approaching Colonel Zhao Yuanan's back and cutting into his lower back.

Colonel Zhao Yuanan's body leaned forward slightly, the Talisman in his hand slipping from between his fingers and falling onto the stone slab. The spiritual light flickered twice and went out.

He half-knelt, supporting himself on his knees, pressing his wound with his right hand as blood seeped through his fingers.

"Damn it."

Colonel Zhao Yuanan looked up at Liu Ruobing and said:

"Retreat..."

"Boom!"

Before Colonel Zhao Yuanan's words could finish, Mo Lin's second stream of Demon Power replenished from the side, his claw tips grazing across his neck.

Colonel Zhao Yuanan's body stiffened for a moment, then fell sideways, landing on the ground without moving again.

Talismans scattered from his hands. An unburned Talisman paper was pressed down during the process of his fall, its spiritual light jumping a few times at the edge of the paper before extinguishing.

Liu Ruobing's gaze lingered in the direction where Colonel Zhao Yuanan fell for a fleeting moment.

The Talisman paper on the stone slab had completely gone out, and the ashes at the edges were being blown away by the wind.

When she withdrew her gaze, her hands did not release the posture of the hand seal, but the color of the spiritual light began to transition from light cyan to dark cyan, with a layer of fine light patterns emerging at the edges.

Liu Ruobing's spiritual light changed at that moment; her body leaned forward slightly, and her hand seal posture remained unreleased, but the spiritual light at the edges of her palms was continuously thickening, turning from light cyan to dark cyan. A layer of fine patterns surged at the edges, as if something was expanding outward from within the spiritual light.

"I want you to die."

Dark cyan spiritual light gushed out from the soles of her feet, spreading forward along the surface of the steps to cover the front end of Shi Yuan's Demon Power beam and the ground behind Xi Sha. The web surface continued to sink, pressing Shi Yuan's Demon Power beam half an inch back to the ground. Shi Yuan's claws slipped on the ground, as if the focal point of his palms was propped up from below by something.

"Spiritual Thought Manifestation."

"Boom~"

Dark cyan spiritual light rose from the web surface, condensing into more than ten slender light blades above Xi Sha. The edges of each light blade continuously contracted, adjusting their direction and spacing to form an even arc, and then falling simultaneously.

"Swish swish swish!!!!"

Facing such an attack.

When Xi Sha looked up and saw that arc, his pupils shrank violently, and his body had already begun to shift before the light blades fell, but his speed could not keep up.

The first light blade grazed his shoulder armor, shattering his scales and causing blood to seep out from the gaps. He took two steps back and withdrew his claw blades from the edge of the door gap. The second light blade had already caught up, horizontally slashing across his waist and abdomen. Blood flowed downward along the edge of his scales, leaving an intermittent trail on the stone slab.
