Chapter 3606
Seeing this, Xiao Hua sighed in his heart. During the trip to Yaotai Mountain, Li Xiang had made it clear that they had to hide their strength and keep a low profile. Although Li Xiang might not have seen the immortal weapons hidden in the fog, he also knew that the Confucian cultivators would not easily let the Daoist cultivators go. Xiao Hua rashly wanted to save these Jindan cultivators and display his superhuman skills, but at this time, he really did not have the strength to do so. Several Jindan cultivators were scattered around the great formation. He had only used the Soaring Dragon Shears to kill a dozen immortal weapons. Just as he was about to use his Yuanying hand to cover the nearest Jindan cultivator, there was a sound of surging waves. Countless ice currents flashing with an extremely cold aura appeared all around the great formation. One by one, ice cavalrymen, several zhang tall, strangely protruded from the ice currents. Streams of vast Qi once again rumbled and poured into these ice cavalrymen. Streaks of azure light seeped out from these ice cavalrymen. The Azure Dragon Saber that they wielded was more powerful than any magic tool. Cracks appeared in the void as it flashed out. Even the magic treasures of Jindan cultivators could not achieve such an effect.
The Confucian cultivators … had gradually released their means!
When these ice cavalrymen appeared, the Jindan cultivators were all greatly shocked. Their faces were ashen, and their hearts were filled with despair.
Previously, the Iron Glacier Armor had already beaten them to a pulp. Now, the ice cavalrymen were several times more powerful than the Iron Glacier Armor. The Jindan cultivators' fighting spirit was completely gone, especially the Jindan cultivator near Xiao Hua's confinement area. He completely gave up resisting and only wanted to be protected by Xiao Hua. After Xiao Hua used the Soaring Dragon Shears to kill a dozen ice cavalrymen, he really could no longer take care of this cultivator who had lost all fighting spirit. The ice cavalryman suddenly thrust forward, and an ice spear that was a hundred times colder than ice pierced deeply into his back. Even the Jindan cultivator who was about to self-destruct was suppressed by this coldness. His entire body turned into an ice sculpture and fell to the ground.
Not only that, but these cold currents that were like the eruption of an icy river instantly appeared everywhere within the imperial formation that spanned dozens of kilometers. Ice spears that were comparable to Jindan Stage cultivators strangely appeared from the void. Even within the space that Xiao Hua had just sealed, the powerful imperial formation's heavenly might tore apart the restriction inch by inch. At the places where the restriction was torn apart, strands of icy currents appeared like blood clots. Hundreds of ice spears appeared along with the appearance of the ice cavalry, and each ice spear stabbed towards Xiao Hua like flying swords.
Xiao Hua had no time to care about himself, let alone the several Jindan Stage cultivators. After the ice spear appeared, they all died in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
Reverend Xiang Tian and the Nameless Yuanying, who were charging towards the ancient treasure, were surrounded by ice cavalry just like Xiao Hua. These ice cavalry blocked their path, and even with all sorts of divine abilities, they were unable to kill these ice cavalry!
Xiao Hua naturally had to resort to trickery. Although the Dharma Eye between his eyebrows was not particularly obvious, it was still slightly open. After all, Confucian cultivators were very proficient in using deception tactics, so Xiao Hua naturally could not be careless.
Sure enough, after a dozen ice cavalry arrived, an Immortal General that was several times stronger than the ice cavalry rushed out of the icy water with an ice cavalry in his hand. With a whistle, he stabbed towards Xiao Hua like the other ice cavalry.
Unfortunately, although this Immortal General did not show his face, his filthy thoughts could not be exposed to the light of day.
Xiao Hua also did not seem to notice. He casually waved his Daoist robe and scattered most of the ice spears. A few ice cavalry powerlessly pierced the golden light protecting Xiao Hua's body.
Seeing the ice spears pierce Xiao Hua's armpits, the Immortal General raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was happy. Unfortunately, his eyebrows seemed to have stopped there and could no longer be raised. At this moment, Xiao Hua suddenly shook his hand and a wishful staff appeared in his hand. The wishful staff whistled through the air, flashing past the ice spears and smashing into the Immortal General's head. The Immortal General did not understand how he had died under Xiao Hua's hands. This staff … was too strange. No one would have imagined it!
When Xiao Hua encountered such an obstruction, there was no need to mention Daoist Xiangtian, Daoist Yuan Qing, and the nameless Nascent Soul cultivator. There were even more cold currents near the strange treasure. Before Daoist Yuan Qing could catch up to Daoist Xiangtian, he was blocked by many ice cavalry and had no choice but to use his small halberd to meet them.
The ice cavalry and ice spears might be the appetizer for these Nascent Soul cultivators, but the Immortal General hidden among the ice cavalry was the appetizer. Several times, the three Nascent Soul cultivators were almost stabbed by the Immortal General. How could the three Nascent Soul cultivators not know that something was wrong?
Reverend Xiangtian hurriedly slapped his hand on the door above him, causing a cluster of green light to shoot up into the air. The green light transformed into countless sword lights that rained down like a fountain, enveloping the space several hundred feet around Reverend Xiangtian.
These sword lights were filled with sword shadows and chilling intent. They strangled the ice river and frost inch by inch, not allowing the ice cavalry to appear again.
Reverend Xiangtian did the same. Reverend Yuanqing and the nameless Nascent Soul cultivator did the same. One of them unleashed a water-colored light that looked like a boat in the ocean to protect himself, while the other condensed a huge spindle-shaped magic treasure to shield himself. Neither the ice spears nor the cavalry could break through their defense.
Seeing the few Gold Core cultivators inside the defensive formation fall into the ice river one after another, Xiao Hua sighed and withdrew his magic power. He used his divine sense to urge the Soaring Dragon Shears to sweep away the ice spears and ice cavalry that came out of the ice river. The Wishful Staff in his hand also danced and flew toward Daoist Xiangtian and the others.
For a moment, the entire defensive formation was in a stalemate with the four Nascent Soul cultivators. Although there were still dozens of ice rivers within the defensive formation, the ice rivers seemed to be helpless against the defenses of the four Nascent Soul cultivators.
Seeing that the previous defense was effective, Daoist Xiangtian immediately urged his flying sword to rush toward the treasure while the nameless Nascent Soul cultivator used his Nascent Soul hand to grab the treasure.
Seeing this, Daoist Master Yuan Qing knew that this was an excellent opportunity. Almost without hesitation, he activated the small halberd. Streaks of crystalline thunderbolts flashed in the air, shattering countless ice spears. Like the Nameless Nascent Soul attacking Daoist Master Xiangtian from both sides, the halberd fell towards Daoist Master Xiangtian's back.
"You dare!"
Daoist Xiangtian coldly smiled and pointed his finger at the flying sword. The flying sword let out a whistling sound and instantly grew in size. It was originally flying toward the treasure, but it strangely changed direction and directly chopped toward the nameless Nascent Soul's Nascent Soul hand.
Moreover, the momentum of this change was as heavy as a mountain, as if Daoist Xiangtian had already planned for this.
The nameless Nascent Soul's expression changed slightly. He knew that this was a diversion tactic, but at this point, the nameless Nascent Soul had no choice but to face it head-on.
Looking at the smug expression on Reverend Xiang Tian's face, he opened his mouth slightly. "Web …" He spat out a mouthful of clear air, and a cauldron the size of a thumb flew into the air. Following his chanting, a dozen huge pillars of origin energy rose from the mouth of the cauldron and landed on the cauldron with a sound no less powerful than that of the pillars of origin energy.
"Weng …" After the cauldron received the origin energy pillars, it shined brightly like a meteor and blocked the small halberd that was about to transform into a dragon.
"Rumble …"
In an instant, Daoist Xiangtian used his flying sword to split open the nameless Nascent Soul's Nascent Soul hand and the cauldron to block Daoist Yuan Qing's small halberd magic treasure.
With a loud sound, the entire defensive formation violently trembled. Whether it was the ice river or the mist, they were all violently tumbling, causing Daoist Yuan Qing to feel extremely bitter.
Although he had overestimated Daoist Xiangtian, this overestimation was not enough.
They were both mid stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but Daoist Xiangtian was able to fight against two of them with ease. Daoist Yuan Qing didn't know what the nameless Nascent Soul cultivator was feeling. He only knew that his Qi and blood were surging and the magic power in his body was tumbling like the ice river. A sharp sound seemed to be coming from his ears.
Along with this sound, the sound of the pipa in the defensive formation reached its peak and soared into the sky.
"I can't let Daoist Xiangtian and that nameless Nascent Soul cultivator join forces. I must join forces with Xiao Hua to kill Daoist Xiangtian!"
This was the only thought in Daoist Yuan Qing's mind. At the same time, he didn't care too much. While urging his magic power, his halberd flashed with an unusually strong brilliance, he desperately rushed towards Daoist Xiangtian's cauldron. At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Xiao Hua, preparing to join forces with them to attack.
However, the mist and ice river in the defensive formation were tumbling madly. The sound was loud and chaotic, and the Noble Qi was like a giant python that was slithering chaotically. Daoist Yuan Qing was unable to transmit his voice.
"Oh no …" Daoist Yuan Qing's heart suddenly shuddered and he had an ominous feeling.
As soon as this feeling appeared, the entire defensive formation suddenly fell silent. All the sounds of the pipa, the river of ice, and the roaring of the Vast Pillar of Qi strangely disappeared, like the waning of the night.
In this moment of extreme silence, Daoist Xiangtian's Cold Plum Blossom Flying Sword rushed out of the ice river and once again turned into a big plum blossom hand to grab the strange treasure on the cliff.
"Damn it!"
The big hand only rose a few feet, but Xiao Hua's angry voice was heard. The entire defensive formation was filled with the sound of thunder. Xiao Hua turned into a bolt of lightning and streaked across the sky, pouncing towards Daoist Xiangtian's big plum blossom hand to stop him.
"Wu …" In the midst of the thunder, a wisp of flute sound came from an unknown place. Although it was clear, it was extremely penetrating, and Xiao Hua's thunder was unable to cover it.
Along with this flute sound, the entire defensive formation was suddenly filled with a burst of weak wind from all over.
When Daoist Xiangtian saw Xiao Hua using the Thunder Escape Technique, he was shocked. He pointed his finger at the cauldron and dodged Daoist Yuan Qing's halberd, which suddenly grew several times larger and fell towards Xiao Hua's head.
Although Xiao Hua's Thunder Escape Technique was extremely fast, the cauldron produced a huge suction force, and he had to pass through it. Xiao Hua sneered and waved the Wishful Staff in his hand. In the eyes of Daoist Xiangtian, the Wishful Staff inconceivably grew longer and bigger and hit the cauldron!
The cauldron was no longer under Daoist Xiangtian's control and began to tumble in the air!
