Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 222 - 181: Old Schemer (Extended - ) (Part 2)
The ambush battle... turned into a chance encounter.
"Damn it, something’s wrong... whatever, kill!"
"Don’t let them escape!"
"Roar—"
Hidden spirit beasts and cultivators in Rakshasa Valley all rushed out.
A fierce battle erupted completely.
...
The Demon Transformation Pool.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, everything is ready... the enemies have also arrived."
The array activated, and in a colorful pool, various spiritual liquids flowed. Jiang Ribai stood at the edge of the pool, surrounded by several powerful spirit beasts guarding it.
"Hmm, begin, activate the Demon Transformation Pool!"
Jiang Ribai nodded and said, while four True Core cultivators behind him carried a palanquin imbued with Daoist charm over.
Inside the palanquin, on exquisite silk, lay a large lizard.
That lizard was today’s main figure—the Great Lizard Prince.
It crawled directly into the colorful pool.
Everything was ready.
The lunatic from Spirit Charm Mountain should be dead by now, right?
He couldn’t help but let out a cold smile. This was the consequence of offending him.
...
The battle was intense.
Xiang Yuntian, a generation of sword cultivator, displayed his true level, resisting a late-stage True Core and a mid-stage True Core, and even vaguely gaining the upper hand.
Sword Qi swept across, shaking the mountains. Wherever it reached, the vegetation in the mountains and forests broke along with it, giving a feeling of heaven and earth collapsing.
Li An faced off against an early-stage True Core cultivator, and he was also holed up within the third line of defense—Spiritual Serenity Peak.
This allowed him to almost effortlessly hold his ground.
The True Core cultivator couldn’t break his array at all. They wanted to surround and kill Xiang Yuntian but feared Li An’s sneak attack, leaving them very infuriated.
"Vast Righteousness—"
Xiang Yuntian, facing two formidable enemies, suddenly let out a loud shout. Massive evil Qi erupted from his body, Sword Qi crisscrossed for dozens of miles, shaking the Changkong. This sword was filled with fierce evil Qi, extremely astonishing.
"How dare you—"
The two formidable enemies struggled to stop him, but the next moment, Xiang Yuntian actually burned his essence blood, closing in instantly, and the sword light almost exploded.
The late-stage True Core Dao cultivator could not withstand the sword. His armor was cut open, leaving a huge cavity in his chest.
The mid-stage True Core cultivator took advantage of the opportunity, and a spear pierced straight into Xiang Yuntian’s body.
But the longsword in Xiang Yuntian’s hand transformed into a white rainbow, flying out and directly piercing through the mid-stage True Core cultivator!
The True Core cultivator fell from the sky, severely injured, barely alive and on the verge of death.
It was incredibly tragic.
In an instant, Xiang Yuntian killed a late-stage True Core and severely injured another mid-stage True Core.
He himself was severely wounded!
"What?"
Outside Spiritual Serenity Peak, the cultivators attacking Li An’s array changed their expressions dramatically, frightened, and attacked with gritted teeth, ignoring Li An and going directly for Xiang Yuntian.
Xiang Yuntian’s combat power was terrifying.
Xiang Yuntian had been nailed to the ground by a spear, almost devoid of any defensive capabilities, but he looked at the True Core cultivator coming to kill him with extreme calm, reminding him:
"Lin, his real target is you. Don’t come out yet—"
Spiritual Serenity Peak.
Li An actually had already seen through that the early-stage True Core cultivator, while seemingly going to kill Xiang Yuntian, was actually harboring malicious intentions, having hidden an array outside Spiritual Serenity Peak. Once Li An took a step out, he would no longer be able to retreat back inside.
Clearly, Xiang Yuntian no longer posed a threat, and Li An was the real target.
He had originally planned to stay hidden like this.
But when Xiang Yuntian finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then took a step out.
As soon as he emerged from Spiritual Serenity Peak, an array was already rising!
The earlier-stage True Core cultivator sneered as he turned to attack.
But what greeted him was a sea formed by Fire Pythons—
Li An detonated twenty Fire Python Talismans along with ten Ice Talismans.
At the same time, two flying swords slashed out.
The True Core cultivator’s face suddenly changed. The talismans wielded by Li An were enough to threaten a late-stage Core Formation master!
And there were so many of them... Who would explode dozens of Rank Three talismans at once?
"You lousy..."
He protected himself with all his might.
Finally, with all his strength, he withstood the attack of dozens of talismans.
But just as he hadn’t caught his breath, an even more terrifying wave of flames and explosions almost engulfed him—
"Damn..."
The early-stage True Core cultivator could only exclaim as terror and disbelief flashed in his pupils...
This had to be at least...
A hundred talismans??
Damn it... Does anyone fight like this?
He had never seen it...
Boom!
The sky was filled with explosions, and the early-stage True Core cultivator’s body was obliterated beyond recognition.
He was dead.
Li An patted his sleeve and calmly walked out, face completely serene.
On the other side, Xiang Yuntian was stunned, looking at Li An with a complex expression for a long time before finally uttering a sentence:
"Truly rich as hell..."
Over a hundred Rank Three talismans, this was sky-high in value!
A single Rank Three talisman would cost one to two hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, and the batch of talismans Li An unleashed, at least cost ten to twenty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones...
But Li An completely ignored Xiang Yuntian, suddenly looking into the distance.
The mid-stage True Core cultivator, severely wounded by Xiang Yuntian earlier, just when the early-stage True Core died, he used some secret technique and was about to escape—
"Damn it, don’t let him run!"
Xiang Yuntian shouted.
Li An, however, remained still, and the direction the cultivator fled to, an array was directly rising—
The first line of defense!
The first line of defense was set at the junction of Black Leaf Forest and Spirit Charm Mountain, serving two purposes. One was if the enemy was too strong, Li An would use this line of defense to block them, buying himself time to escape.
