tronger one's soul essence, the less effective illusions would be. Yet, the illusion produced by this formation was so potent that he couldn't see through it. Everything in this Ji Xing Lake was truly..."Soul-devouring jellyfish!" Xiang Yihan's face was filled with apprehension. These soul-devouring jellyfish were legendary deep-sea creatures. Individually, one or two wouldn't be terrifying, and even their afterlives, transformed into wisps of smoke, were barely noticeable. But looking at the blue fishman's orb, the smoke formed a shape. The number of soul-devouring jellyfish collected here was probably astonishingly high. The resulting miasma was intangible, possessing incredibly strong penetrating and corrosive power. Ordinary defensive spirit shields or even spiritual artifacts couldn't stop it. It was extremely sinister.

It was Item One-Flight, caught off guard. In such a hurried situation, it was impossible to escape. However, being pinned down by this Bluefish Man's carefully prepared attack, once surrounded by the enemy, he would be left with no place to run and only death awaited him.

"Well, but my imprisoned water bead has more than just this ability."

The blue fishskin man let out a strange laugh, but it was abruptly cut short. A chill suddenly went from his feet to the tips of his hair, numbing him completely. The smugness on the blue fishskin man's face vanished, replaced by terror. A huge sense of crisis came upon him from below. The opponent also had a trump card, hidden in this water. It was so well concealed that even he, who was proficient in water magic, hadn't noticed it. He didn't yet realize the opponent's method.

“Master, save me!” The blue fish-skinned man had already used his means to temporarily hold back Xiang Yihang’s footsteps. His magic was like spilled water, difficult to retrieve. The threat coming from behind him was something he couldn't withstand even in his prime, let alone now when most of his energy was focused on Xiang Yihang, who was stronger than him.

And the Land Xia Tian, who had been plotting behind him for this blow, how could he give this Blue Fish Skin Man another chance to escape The reason why he chose to travel by water was to prevent a siege like last time. Unexpectedly, the other party really used this old trick. If it wasn't for his own experience, the other party wouldn't have thought that there would be someone underwater. This move was really seamless, but now, it could only be said that this Blue Fish Skin Man was unlucky.

With a Zhao Clan cultivator looming above, Lu XiaTian wouldn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest. He believed it was better to cripple one finger than ten, aiming for a decisive strike. He would first eliminate one opponent before considering anything else. Although this blue fish-skin man wasn't particularly powerful, his mastery of water magic allowed him to escape this water alone. However, if he added Xiang YiHang along with the blue fish-skin man, it might become difficult to escape.

Therefore, Lu Xia Tian immediately used his trump card, the ethereal sword embryo. The eight swords merged into one, forming a sword embryo that, while the blue-skinned fish people focused their energy on Xiang Yi Hang, perfectly concealed his presence with the jade clam pearl.

"Bold!" Above his head, the Zhao clan's great cultivator, Zi Qing Shangren, who thought he had everything under control, was shocked and furious. He personally took action, actually causing a commotion right under his nose. If this got out, wouldn't he be the laughingstock of everyone

However, before Ziqing's words could even finish, the sword embryo shattered the blue fish-skin man's protective spirit tool, which resembled a fish skin, like crushing withered trees and rotting wood.

A piercing shriek tore through the air as the blue fish-skin man's body split in two under the sword light, a spray of crimson blood painting the lake. The other's foot-long Nascent Soul shot out in a terrified and venomous arc.

Lu XiaTian emerged from the water, unable to help but purse his lips. Such a good Nascent Soul, under the gaze of powerful enemies, he didn't even have time to retrieve it.

“Haha, Brother Lu is indeed a man of his word, what a good tactic!” Overcoming the desperate situation, Xiang Yihang burst into laughter. The pressure on him lifted, and the soul-devouring poison water, shaped like jellyfish, lost its control from the Blue Fishman. It shrieked helplessly several times before retreating back into the azure orb.

Lu XiaTian reached out and snatched the azure orb. The orb was spirited, but it struggled in vain and was forcefully taken by Lu XiaTian.

Since I have already agreed, how can I easily break my promise This Zhao clan's great cultivator is coming aggressively, let's try the methods of a great cultivator. It's also good to be mentally prepared for the future.

"Such boldness!" Ziqing, the Taoist priest, roared with anger. With a flick of his sleeve, three spikes, each blazing with flames, shot out. Two flew straight for Lu Xia Tian, while the other targeted Xiang Yi Hang.

This Blazing Thorn shot forward seemingly ordinary, but during its flight, it trailed behind it a long tail like a comet sweeping the moon, stretching endlessly.

The sword embryo's momentum didn't cease. It followed up with a barrage of fiery jabs, instantly filling the sky with flying flames. The sword embryo and the two spikes clashed in mid-air, engaging in a fierce battle that left neither side at a clear advantage. Though these fire jabs were immensely powerful, Xiang Yihang had managed to divert some of their opponent's attention. With Lu Xiaoteng giving his all, for a moment, they actually fought to a stalemate.

Ziqing suddenly felt both surprised and angry. This silver-haired cultivator not only killed a member of the Zhao clan under his very nose, but also blocked a significant portion of his attacks. As a great cultivator, seeing a low-ranking cultivator flaunt their power right before him, he was momentarily at a loss. Ziqing naturally felt extremely angry, but he had to admit that, regardless of this silver-haired cultivator or that Prince Xuan, Xiang Yihan, among cultivators below the Great Cultivator level, they were probably both rare and formidable opponents.

“Master, be careful not to let this boy enter the water. This man is an expert in Water Escape, even Yu Lao Gui wouldn't be able to sense him.” 猿姥姥 (Yuan Laoma) shouted fiercely, her long staff pointed at empty space. A dark ghost ape roared and shook off Xiang Yi Hang’s entanglement, charging towards Lu Xia Tian.

“If you want to attack, you have to see if I agree.” Xiang Yihang stretched out his hand and pointed. The red ring he had previously summoned rose up, chasing after the pitch-black ghost ape. At the same time, Xiang Yihang also sacrificed a deep blue ring that exuded an icy aura. One ring was hot and one cold, one yin and one yang.

Lu Xiaodao's deputy deity was constantly monitoring Xiang Yihang's situation. The two circular auras, one red and one blue, were quite unique. They resembled the Yin-Yang Dragon Scale Sword that he and Xiang Yihang had used during their life-and-death battle, just in a different form. Since Xiang Yihang’s flying sword was destroyed, it wouldn't be easy to refine it again. He resorted to this compromise method. Compared to the Yin-Yang Dragon Scale Sword, the power of this spiritual artifact was slightly less sharp, but with Xiang Yihang's increased magical power, his spells now carried more momentum.

The Yin-Yang Ring came after it was sent out, encircling the ghastly ghost ape from its head to its tail. The ghostly ape roared in fury, and Granny Ape’s wrinkled face flushed red as she poured her mana into it, using her withered staff to continuously transmit power to the ghostly ape. However, it struggled relentlessly but never managed to break free.

A strange glint flashed in Yuan Lao's eyes. The pitch-black ghost ape, which had been roaring just moments ago, suddenly exploded, transforming into thick black smoke that instantly swept dozens of feet away and charged towards Lu Xiaottian.

Xiang Yi's brows furrowed, the Yin-Yang Ring poised to strike, but several whip shadows flew through the air, blocking it. It was Zhao Tongshan's Poisonous Bee Whip. At the same time, a fiery lance from Zi Qing's hand pierced the Red Ring head-on, combining with the Yin-Yang Ring to attack together.

Item Yi Hang remained calm and collected. With a casual toss of his hand, three scorpion-like creatures, each about a foot long, resembling both demons and puppets, were launched from the air. Though they fell from a great height, their descent was surprisingly methodical.

“Chi Luo Xie Shi Zhen!” Zi Qing Shang Ren saw these three azure scorpion beasts, his eyes flashed with a strange color, “Even while dueling, he can still split his divine consciousness to control this formation. He’s quite the individual. The Xiang Shi imperial clan’s legacy has lasted until now, it truly isn't undeserved.”
