chapter 386: chapter 86: besieged
at this moment, the heavenly desire demon monarch was just about to gather demonic qi, aiming to take down the three individuals in one fell swoop.
however, just at that time, lin jing and his group arrived.
charging at the forefront was naturally lu youjiu, who had already reached the nascent soul stage.
when the heavenly desire demon monarch saw the newcomers, he was stunned for a moment, and his attack slowed down a bit as a result.
the three golden core late stage cultivators, seeing this opportunity, quickly retreated a great distance.
……
it wasn’t until they saw the heavenly desire demon monarch that lin jing and the others realized he was indeed stronger than they had imagined.
over time, the heavenly desire demon monarch had become more powerful, and even his cultivation had recovered to the middle phase of the nascent soul stage.
the heavenly desire demon monarch looked at the group, furrowed his brow, and spoke:
“it’s you few…”
following that.
he gazed at lu youjiu at the very front:
“i didn’t expect you to have reached the nascent soul stage already.”
“you actually dared to come here, quite confident, aren’t you?”
after speaking, the heavenly desire demon monarch glanced at lin jing behind him, then let out a cold snort.
“hmph!”
“you don’t really think i’m scared of you, do you?”
at this moment, the three golden core cultivators stepped forward and said to lu youjiu:
“senior, be careful…”
“this demon cultivator, dai mao, has cultivated some sort of demonic technique that is extremely difficult to deal with; he can even absorb people’s essence and blood to replenish himself.”
lu youjiu nodded and then indicated for the three of them to step back.
recognizing the cue, they promptly moved to the side and started to recover on their own.
at this point in the arena, lu youjiu and the heavenly desire demon monarch stood opposed to each other, while lin jing and the other two were ready to assist at any moment.
……
at this moment, lu youjiu made the first move. with the cold light longsword in hand, he swung out with a strike.
a vast wave of white sword energy shot out, directly sweeping towards the heavenly desire demon monarch.
upon seeing this, the heavenly desire demon monarch also gathered a massive amount of demonic qi, forming a crescent-shaped, sword-like black demon qi that collided with lu youjiu’s sword energy.
“boom!”
a loud explosion erupted as lu youjiu’s sword energy collided with the black demon qi, causing them to explode violently.
the blast generated shockwaves that forced lin jing and the three golden core cultivators, as well as others, to involuntarily retreat a distance.
even lu youjiu himself was forced two steps back.
the heavenly desire demon monarch saw this and couldn’t help but laugh.
“heh heh…”
“just having entered the nascent soul stage and you dream of troubling me, you’re far too naive.”
however, without uttering a word, lu youjiu simply took a large gourd from his waist and gulped down a mouthful of liquor.
in the next moment, lu youjiu’s aura surged, growing noticeably stronger.
seeing this, the heavenly desire demon monarch’s brow furrowed, and he immediately gathered the black demonic qi around him and launched another attack at lu youjiu.
lu youjiu positioned the cold light longsword in front of him and started to cast a spell with one hand, murmuring incantations.
soon, the cold light longsword began to divide: one into two, two into four, four into eight…
before long, numerous longswords densely filled up the nearby area.
right then, the black demonic qi reached him.
lu youjiu, unfazed, flicked his finger, and the flying swords moved in unison.
the swords, radiating white light, completely blocked the black demonic qi from getting through.
then, lu youjiu directly controlled the flying swords and launched them toward the heavenly desire demon monarch…
as lu youjiu charged forward, lin jing and his group also made their move.
as previously agreed, lu youjiu was responsible for the main assault.
the other three, lin jing included, each took a position in different directions.
their purpose was to prevent the heavenly desire demon monarch from escaping.
even holaw three rivers had started preparing to scatter formation flags nearby to trap the heavenly desire demon monarch in place.
seeing the others taking action, the three injured golden core cultivators, at first wanting to caution them,
fell silent upon spotting the formation flags in holaw three rivers’ hands and retreated a good distance away.
at this point, although they weren’t completely depleted, they were nearly spent and remaining on the battlefield would provide no assistance.
it was better to withdraw and heal; once their strength was somewhat recovered, they could then offer help.
at the center of the battlefield, the countless flying swords lu youjiu wielded had firmly restrained the heavenly desire demon monarch.
the battle between them was fiercely intense.
however, with the black demonic qi obscuring the view, the situation inside was largely unclear to the others.
all that could be seen was the swirling black demonic qi on the outside, and the sweeping lights of the swords inside…
of course, there was also the explosive release of the terrifying cultivation auras from both individuals.
under this stirring influence, a slight misstep could lead to injury. lin jing and yan wan wanted to join in but found themselves unable to intervene.
after all, the battlefield was dominated by two nascent soul cultivators, well beyond their means to take part in.
