Chapter 1835 Burn it for me!
The stone pillar itself, along with Zhao Hu and the others who were bound by chains, seemed to instantly become independent, experiencing a brief, physical isolation from the array below and the dark golden chains that were draining their power!
Although this stripping was extremely brief, it was enough to interrupt the formation's continuous extraction and erosion of them.
"Now! Azure Wood Pure Spiritual Light—Bloom!"
With a wave of her jade hand, the green-faced fox unleashed a torrent of rich, azure light that had been prepared beforehand, instantly enveloping the stone pillars that had been temporarily separated!
The pure and vibrant purifying power collided violently with the remaining malevolent energy on the dark golden chains, producing a hissing sound, and the chains' light visibly dimmed.
At the same time, gentle life energy permeated into Zhao Hu and the others' bodies, protecting their fragile hearts and souls.
"Break the formation! Save people!" Ye Yan shouted, his figure moving like lightning as he rushed towards the nearest stone pillar.
He condensed his earth-yellow spiritual energy into a blade and slashed fiercely at the already dimmed chains!
"Roar! Set it ablaze! Crimson Flame Sky-Burning Ring!"
The Crimson Flame Fox roared and suddenly spread its arms wide!
A terrifying crimson-gold flame erupted from its center, spreading wildly outwards like an explosion!
The flames did not attack in a scattered manner, but quickly condensed into a blazing ring of fire several meters high and over a foot thick, which perfectly separated the central array area from the ascetics and puppet groups on the outside!
boom--!
The intense heat instantly distorted the air, and the puppets at the forefront, once touched by the flames, immediately crackled and their movements became sluggish.
The ascetics who had realized what was happening also changed color. They immediately activated their dark golden protective Buddhist light and unleashed their baleful attacks in an attempt to break through the wall of fire.
"Enemy attack!!"
"The formation has been disrupted! The offering has been lost!"
"Stop them! Activate the guardian puppets! We can't let them take the offerings!"
An angry roar came from outside the wall of fire.
Of the twelve ascetics maintaining the formation, apart from the three Nascent Soul cultivators who were immobilized by True Man Lingxu, the other nine suddenly sprang up, attempting to bypass or break through the fire wall. At the same time, they urged the puppets on the periphery to surge towards the fire wall like a tide.
The scene instantly descended into chaos!
Lingxu Zhenren only had three breaths to suppress the three Nascent Soul ascetics, and now one and a half breaths had passed.
After Mingchuan used the spatial stripping technique, his face was as pale as paper. His body swayed and he almost fell over, but he gritted his teeth and held on, his eyes fixed on the rescue site.
Ye Yan acted the fastest, having already severed two chains and rescued the two barely alive experts from the three major sects, quickly dragging them away.
While maintaining the purifying light, the blue-faced fox also helped by using its gentle vines to pull the rescued people to the relatively safe edge of the cave.
Zhao Hu and Han Tieshan were imprisoned on the two most central stone pillars.
"Tiger!"
Ye Yan rushed in front of Zhao Hu, his spiritual power transformed into a blade, and he fiercely slashed at the chains.
However, the chains binding Zhao Hu seemed exceptionally thick, and the runes were even denser, failing to sever them even after two consecutive strikes!
"Ming-ge... hurry..." Zhao Hu seemed to regain a sliver of consciousness, managing to utter a few words with difficulty, his eyes filled with anxiety.
On the other side, the fire wall maintained by the Crimson Flame Fox began to fluctuate violently under the frenzied attacks of dozens of puppets and nine ascetics, and the flames were weakened layer by layer!
Lingxu Zhenren's three-breath suppression time is about to end!
The three Nascent Soul ascetics began to struggle, and the fine threads of moonlight on their bodies began to flicker!
"Oh no!" Mingchuan thought anxiously.
He was almost completely exhausted at this point, barely able to stand, let alone use powerful spatial magic again.
At this critical moment——
"Amitabha……"
A peaceful chant, yet imbued with immense Buddhist power, suddenly resounded in the cave!
It did not come from those ascetics, but from the white relic fragment given to him by Master Huineng, which was in Mingchuan's arms!
The bone fragments floated up automatically, emitting a soft, milky-white Buddhist light.
The Buddha's light was not intense, but it carried a pure power of righteousness and peace, dispelling evil and revealing truth.
Where the Buddha's light shone, the puppets that were frantically charging at the wall of fire suddenly stopped moving, made a soft "hissing" sound, and began to melt away.
Even the Vajra Subduing Demons aura circulating within the nine ascetics became sluggish, as if it had encountered a natural nemesis.
Although the bone fragment had limited energy and a small range of influence, this sudden interference from a high-level orthodox Buddhist force undoubtedly disrupted the opponent's rhythm and bought precious moments for the rescue.
"good chance!"
Ye Yan's spirits lifted, and he mustered all his spiritual power to unleash a fierce third strike!
"clang--!"
Sparks flew as the thick chains binding Zhao Hu finally snapped!
Almost simultaneously, the Green-Faced Fox used the light of purification in conjunction with its spiritual vines to break the chains binding Han Tieshan.
"go!"
Ye Yan helped the weakened Zhao Hu to his feet, while the Green-Faced Fox swept up Han Tieshan and the other rescued people and quickly retreated towards the edge of the cave where Ming Chuan and the others were.
"Trying to leave?! Leave behind the offerings!"
Three breaths have passed!
The three Nascent Soul cultivators finally broke free from Lingxu Zhenren's suppression and roared in shock and rage.
One of them even bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of dark golden blood essence, which landed on an array plate in front of him!
"Vajra Subdues Demons, Shattered Spirits Gather into Soldiers! Condense!"
The array plate shone brightly with blood-red light, and the ground of the cave shook violently. The chaotic star power surging from the earth's cavity and the remaining malevolent energy of the array converged wildly, actually condensing into a dark golden malevolent giant with a height of three zhang, three heads and six arms, and a ferocious and blurry face behind everyone's retreat!
Although the giant lacked intelligence, it exuded the berserk aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Each of its six arms held a weapon of murderous intent, such as a knife, sword, pestle, and shield. It roared and blocked the retreat route, smashing down fiercely on the retreating crowd!
In front, puppets and ascetics charged through the wall of fire, while behind, a giant of malevolent energy blocked their path!
"I'll hold it off! You all run!"
Seeing this, the Crimson Flame Fox roared and charged out, its flames rising to their peak, transforming into a crimson-gold fire meteor that crashed fiercely into the giant of evil energy!
"Crimson Flame Fox!" the Blue-Faced Fox exclaimed.
Boom——!
The Crimson Flame Fox collided with the Giant of Fiendish Energy, and the flames and fiendish energy violently tore each other apart and annihilated each other!
The Crimson Flame Fox was sent flying backward by the shock, blood spilling from the corner of its mouth. The giant of malevolent energy was also shaken violently, one of its arms was blown off, and its movements became sluggish.
"Quick, let's go! Leave this to me!"
The Crimson Fox wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and pounced again, engaging the giant of malevolent energy in fierce combat to cover the retreat of the others.
At this moment, Master Lingxu also flew down, no longer hiding.
The pressure of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was fully unleashed, and the cool, moonlit light illuminated the cavern. With a wave of his hand, a wave of moonlit sword energy swept towards the ascetics and puppets who were trying to bypass the wall of fire, clearing the area and creating an opening for retreat.
