Huo Renyu held the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, continually calculating to find a way out. Although it was difficult and he couldn't freely move through, at least he was able to enter and exit without being trapped in one place.
He successively found Yu Xiao, Shi Mingzhu, and Shi Yuzhu, and after the four of them gathered together, they discussed finding the key to breaking the array.
Yu Xiao also devised a daring plan to locate the Chuandeng Monk and kill the Demon Monk in a direct and brutal manner.
Huo Renyu tried hard to search, leading them through one cave after another. Apart from encountering four Barbarian Monks along the way, whom they killed, they just waited for Huo Renyu to make his calculations, which was quite boring.
Shi Mingzhu and Shi Yuzhu quietly followed, while Yu Xiao was anxious at the side, constantly urging.
Despite the stress, Huo Renyu managed to remain calm and focused on calculating the array's variables, occasionally speaking to soothe them to remain patient.
After a lot of effort, they finally found the cave that was just one step away from the main cave and were figuring out how to break through when suddenly a portion of the rock wall collapsed, revealing a Barbarian Monk who had lost both legs and only had one right arm intact.
Initially, they were startled, but soon realized this person was no good. Yu Xiao was the first to release his Flying Sword, also launching the Heavenly Heart Five Thunders from his palm, followed swiftly by actions from Shi Mingzhu and Shi Yuzhu.
The three simultaneously launched their Flying Sword Magical Treasures and Immortal Law magic, and the Chuandeng Monk exerted all his effort to dodge Shi Feiyang's flying sword pursuit, barely managing to save his torso, head, and one remaining right hand, only to face a concentrated group assault.
If he had been an ordinary Sword Immortal of lesser practices, his body protected by Demon Light would barely be scratched by ordinary Flying Swords, and standard spells would cause no damage. However, these three were elite young disciples of the Kunlun Sect.
Yu Xiao was Mr. Zhong's direct disciple, a key figure in their cultivation lineage. The master of Shi Mingzhu and Shi Yuzhu, known for her fierce protectiveness, treated her seven female disciples as her own daughters, nearly coddling them.
The Flying Swords Magical Treasures used by the trio were personally refined by two Sword Immortals, and the spells they deployed were the authentic Immortal Laws of the Kunlun Sect.
The Chuandeng Monk had no time to react and was hacked relentlessly by Flying Swords and bombarded by Divine Thunder, barely preserving the remainder of his flesh, which was then instantly blown to pieces!
The Demon Monk's Lifebound Demon was also hit, bursting into a ball of red light that tumbled around before finally stabilizing, but before its body could fully regenerate, another wave of attacks from Yu Xiao and the others hit, now including Huo Renyu. Together, their sword lights and Treasure Lights mixed with dazzling flashes of electricity pummeled him relentlessly.
The Chuandeng Monk displayed his six-armed demonic form, wildly smashing a pair of golden cymbals together producing an ear-piercing blast that sent out thousands of Demonic Flames and massive waves of golden light, raining down like a deluge and sweeping across like a flood.
Yu Xiao released a burst of blue light to counter the golden light, feeling its force a thousand times stronger than a real mountain torrent. As soon as they made contact, he felt a suffocating pressure at his chest and hastily mustered his True Qi just to hold his ground.
Shi Yuzhu cast a sheet of white light to shield against the fiery rain. The fist-sized fire rain, dense like hail, burnt intensely upon striking the white light, which began melting shortly thereafter.
Meanwhile, Huo Renyu and Shi Mingzhu attacked the Chuandeng Monk with their Flying Sword Magical Treasures, only for him to block them with a White Lotus flower.
The Demon Monk released two Golden Sabers to counter the four's Flying Swords and summoned the Vajra Devil Subduing Pestle, which emitted golden light from its tip and pierced through the White Light Magical Treasure protecting Shi Yuzhu.
Following that, the body of the Vajra Pestle flew forward targeting the leading Huo Renyu, who saw trouble coming and swiftly merged body with sword to dodge aside. The tip of the pestle grazed the tail of the sword light, dimming it as it slanted toward the ground. The two were separated, and Huo Renyu rolled to the side as the Vajra Pestle slammed into the ground beside him, creating a ten-foot-deep hole.
The Demon Monk, with his twin sabers, skillfully entangled the opposition's four Flying Swords, showing no signs of weakness. He constantly clashed the golden bowls together, unleashing an onslaught of Demonic Flame and Demon Light that the four could not withstand, forcing them to retreat continuously.
Shi Feiyang woke Xiong Man: "Your tribulation has passed, but there remain outcomes to settle. Wei Da, too, met his fate by your sword and suffered intense soul refinement. Essentially, he aspired to enter the Immortal Path but diverged due to one lapse in judgment.
Gather the fragments of his torn soul, use this Spiritual Medicine to stabilize and refine it over forty-nine days, then send him for reincarnation. Craft a simplified Cultivation Technique from what you've learned, one that can nurture Qi and establish a foundation, prolonging life and allowing cloud ascent. Pass this to him after his rebirth, and let that be the end."
Xiong Man took in everything, feeling the relief of escaping a calamity and reveling in her achieved fame.
You all doubted me, claiming I would fall into tribulation over this man, but I have come through!
For those who once looked down on me, seeing me now should bring a sense of shame—if not, their faces must be too thick.
"Yes, I'm talking about you, Luo Ziyuan!"
Her mood greatly uplifted, she took out a small bottle made from the Heavenly Heart Crystal Jade of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain and gathered Wei Da's fragmented soul into it.
Fortunately, just now, Chuandeng Monk had only tortured Wei Da by repeatedly ripping off his arms and legs instead of using spells to refine his soul. Had the soul been fragmented into such fine pieces, her effort wouldn't have been enough to help him recover. As it were, with only his primordial qi being damaged, paired with the spiritual medicine she possessed, recovery should not be difficult.
Shi Feiyang, accompanied by Xiong Man, flew into the neighboring chamber, where the "Four Young Masters of Kunlun" were barely holding up, being pursued relentlessly by Chuandeng Monk. They arrived just as Huo Renyu's lower leg was pierced through by the Vajra Pestle and pinned to the ground, followed by a Demon Blade flying towards him, aiming to behead him.
Xiong Man quickly released her flying sword to counter the Demon Blade. The Vajra Pestle leaped up from the ground, striking towards Xiong Man.
Xiong Man summoned the Dragon Sparrow Ring, and two rings of light, one yellow and one blue, flew out, correctly fitting over the Vajra Pestle and tightening around it. The golden light on the Vajra Pestle dimmed, and it began to wobble as though it was about to fall.
Meanwhile, Chuandeng Monk was determined to quickly finish off Yu Xiao and Shi Mingzhu, who had just hit him with the Five Thunder True Method, causing him immense discomfort. Aware that his arch-enemy, Shi Feiyang, was nearby and could attack at any moment, he wanted to make a quick decision. Erecting a barrage of Golden Light Demon Fire while swinging the White Lotus, he emitted a stream of sticky smoke that covered Yu Xiao and Shi Mingzhu and pinned them to the ground.
The thick, fine smoke was formidable, carrying a scent so sickly sweet it made one feel thoroughly relaxed. But after the relaxation, one's every vein seemed to boil, blood rushing upwards and swarming into the scalp, causing an unbearable burning sensation all over.
It was Yu Xiao and Shi Mingzhu's fate to face this trial. Young and fond of each other after years of cultivation together and developing mutual affection, they could no longer restrain themselves under the influence of Chuandeng Monk's magic. Yu Xiao saw Shi Mingzhu as tender and lovely, and Shi Mingzhu saw Yu Xiao as strong and handsome. As they locked eyes and sensed each other's heated scent from a few meters away, they lost all reason and rushed towards each other with open arms to embrace.
Chuandeng Monk's spell was extremely malicious. If they were to hold each other, skin to skin, they would completely fall into depravity, unrestrainedly rewarding each other in public. Once True Yin and True Yang merged, their primordial spirits would be captured by Chuandeng Monk to be consumed as Bodhi Nectar for the Demon Monk's cultivation!
Ignorant of all else, they dashed towards each other. Huo Renyu and Shi Yuzhu saw this and shouted in alarm, unable to stop them. Suddenly, a surge of Hongmeng Purple Qi arose from the ground and separated them, promptly followed by two Golden Flowers appearing above their heads. The Pure Yang Golden Flower shining directly above their heads spun instantly, breaking the spell and causing both to faint, collapsing on the ground.
At this moment, Shi Feiyang released the Three Yangs One Qi Sword to block Chuandeng Monk's attack on Xiong Man and directed her to forcefully capture the Vajra Devil Subduing Pestle with the Dragon Sparrow Ring while he used the Yuan Yang Ruler to rescue Yu Xiao and Shi Mingzhu.
Huo Renyu, unconcerned about his leg injury, rushed over to lift Yu Xiao and dragged him back forcefully. Shi Yuzhu also pulled her sister to the other side. Both instinctively tried to keep them as far apart as possible, as the scene had been utterly harrowing! If they had indeed made a spectacle of themselves, not only would their own Dao foundation have been destroyed, but the Kunlun Sect would also become a laughingstock among all cultivators!
Fortunately! Fortunately, that scene did not occur!
Each holding one person, they leaned against the stone wall, still terrified.
Chuandeng Monk, unable to retrieve his Vajra Pestle with Shi Feiyang protecting it, could also not strike Xiong Man. He watched helplessly as the yellow and blue rings confined the Vajra Pestle, rapidly dimming its light until it no longer responded to his command and descended into Xiong Man's hands.
Enraged by his defeat and knowing he couldn't overpower Shi Feiyang, Chuandeng Monk roared at Shi Feiyang and then turned into a streak of red light, hurling himself towards the stone wall.
As a Divine Demon, he would typically have smashed through the stone wall to make his escape; however, a layer of red light sprang up on the wall's surface and bounced him back!
Chuandeng Monk was taken aback and hastily attempted to crash into the wall again in another direction. This time, a layer of green light emerged and rebounded him once more.
Growing increasingly desperate, he flung himself about like a headless fly. Every attempt ended in failure, being blocked back every time. He then tried to crash into the ceiling and floor, where vast spreads of colorful lights emerged.
Shi Feiyang declared loudly, "Chuandeng Old Demon, did I give you permission to leave?"
He had already prepared the Twelve Flower Evil God Gang, locking down the surrounding space. With a wave of his hand, a profusion of colorful flowers appeared inside the cave—yellow osmanthus, purple orchids, green chrysanthemums, white pear flowers, pink peach flowers, red lotus flowers... Numerous fresh flowers spun and danced, raining down petals beautifully.
Shi Feiyang, forming a signal with his left hand, directed twelve streams of colorful fireworks toward Chuandeng Monk. Chuandeng Monk tried to dodge and shift forms but was quickly trapped within.
Bellows like a trapped beast, he violently pounded a golden bowl, releasing waves of Golden Light Demon Fire, clashing with the Twelve Flower Evil God Gang. He swung the white lotus at Shi Feiyang, recognizing that this object was extremely corruptive, capable of eroding the Divine Energy, Essence, and Spirit, with the potential even to dissipate the Pure Yang Golden Flower on the Yuan Yang Ruler.
Just as he was about to counter with Hongmeng Purple Qi, Xiong Man summoned the Dragon Sparrow Ring, with its yellow and blue circles of light spinning as they flew. The sticky smoke it encountered instantly dispersed into nothing.
The Dragon Sparrow Ring danced upwards and downwards, annihilating all the adhesive smoke that came close.
Master and disciple, with four flying swords side by side, advanced to slice forward. Chuandeng Monk, still fiercely struggling, had four figures emerge from the colorful mist and flying flowers behind him—Varnagyin II, Kshayina Shabu, Wei Fengniang, and Zhong Ang, each armed with a sword and casting spells, coming from behind to assault Chuandeng Monk.
