With a thought in his mind, Shi Mu's eyes revealed a faint golden light, and he secretly used his spiritual eyes to detect all the movements around him.
The group of people walked forward for a while. At this moment, a black cloud flew towards them very quickly in front of them. There was a faint sound of roaring in the cloud, and an extremely rich demonic energy quickly filled the air.
"There are phantom beasts, be careful!" Wen Hua, who was very advanced in cultivation, was the first to notice the strange thing ahead and shouted.
"Eh..." Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he looked near the black cloud.
There was an imperceptible fluctuation in the void there, and a faint shadow flashed past. If he hadn't had spiritual vision, he would never have seen the slightest clue.
At this moment, the black clouds in the distance had arrived in front of everyone.
Two to three hundred densely packed black figures flew out of the black clouds. These figures were two to three feet tall, their bodies were covered with purple streaks, and they were surrounded by demonic aura. They were obviously monsters.
Most of these monsters were of earth-level cultivation, but there were also forty or fifty of them who were in the heaven-level realm. They pounced on them with incomparable ferocity, and their momentum was extremely frightening.
"Be careful, there are many phantom beasts. Try your best to defend yourself against the enemy. Don't mess up your position!" Wen Hua shouted loudly.
Before he finished speaking, those monsters rushed forward, and the two sides immediately got into a melee.
Although there are several times more monsters than everyone else, there are only forty or fifty heavenly beings, which is about the same number as the disciples of Lihuo Temple, and the others are just some earthly beings.
Moreover, the power of thunder and lightning has a lot of restraint effects on monsters. Therefore, although a group of monsters surrounded everyone and gained the upper hand through the corrosive effect of the demonic energy, the audience in Lihuo did not appear to be defeated, and the defense was flawless.
Shi Mu muttered something in his mouth, and the lightning of the Thunder-Breaking Sword exploded, releasing an arc as thick as an arm. The power was astonishing, and it flew around him to kill him.
A dazzling electric light flashed, and one or two monsters and phantom beasts were split in half.
Yan Luo was not far away from Shi Mu at the moment. The purple shark thorns in Yan Luo's hand stabbed out one after another, turning into countless purple phantoms. Any monster that came close would be penetrated through the body.
At this moment, Ximen Xue also arrived not far away from Shi Mu and the others, holding the white jade ruler, breathing white light and emitting a biting cold air.
She recited a spell in her mouth, waved her hands, and used the ice and snow magical powers one after another. Although the ice and snow magical powers were not as lethal to monsters as the thunder and lightning magical powers, the ice and snow magical powers had the effect of delaying movement, and they cooperated with Shi Mu and the other two.
In an instant, the three of them had killed more than a dozen monsters and phantom beasts, among which there was surprisingly a heavenly monster.
Other disciples of Lihuo Temple also attacked and defended, and several familiar people joined together to launch some thunder and lightning formations, which were more powerful, and the situation gradually turned against everyone.
So far, not one of the disciples has died, but nearly a hundred monsters have been killed, leaving behind a large number of magic beads.
At this moment, a loud roar sounded, but it was a huge monster with a body that was seven or eight feet tall.
This monster's head is shaped like a lion, with purple lines flashing all over its body, and demonic energy surging, condensed into a set of purple gold armor, holding a purple gold halberd, exuding an extremely terrifying aura, and has reached the late stage of heaven.
As soon as they heard the roar, the monsters that besieged everyone immediately retreated and flew into the air.
The audience in Lihuo looked at each other, and no one pursued him for a moment. They all looked at Wen Hua, as if waiting for his order.
Wen Hua's eyes flashed and he was about to speak.
At this moment, the monster leader roared again in the air, but this roar was harsh, like a steel needle piercing his ears.
The surrounding monsters also let out bursts of screams, and the next moment their bodies emitted a huge black light, and they swooped down from mid-air very quickly.
The black energy surged and gathered around these monsters, forming a thick black arrow, like countless sharp arrows coming through the air, making a harsh scream.
"Oops!" Wen Hua's face changed drastically, he muttered something, his body glowed with purple light, and an ancient purple mirror appeared above his head, shining brightly.
Purple light flashed, and a huge round purple light shield emerged, blocking everyone.
Rumble!
Hundreds of monsters rushed forward, slamming into the purple light shield.
The light shield counterattacked, and the bodies of dozens of earth-level monsters with low cultivation levels exploded and turned into a black mist.
However, the purple light shield was also eroded by the demonic energy, and the spiritual light on its surface quickly dimmed, and it trembled violently. Wen Hua's body also trembled, and his face turned pale.
The purple light shield only lasted for a few breaths, and finally shattered. Wen Hua groaned and staggered back.
As soon as the light shield shattered, the giant arrow transformed from the monster behind roared towards the crowd, crashing into the crowd.
When several screams were heard, a purple light lit up, and seven or eight people who were seriously injured were immediately sent out of the tower.
The formation of the Lihuo audience was suddenly in chaos, and they were fighting in a melee with a group of monsters.
Although the monsters used this strange move to break everyone's formation, they were also seriously injured, with most of them being killed or injured.
Shi Mu and the other two were lucky enough not to be hit by the strange moves of those monsters just now. At this moment, the three of them joined forces again and killed more than a dozen monsters in an instant.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed in front of the three of them, and the leader of the monster suddenly appeared, roaring like a thunder explosion on the ground. The halberd in his hand was shrouded in a mass of demonic energy, and he chopped it off at Shi Mu's head.
Shi Mu's face changed slightly, he shouted loudly, waved his hands, and the purple lightning of the thunder-breaking sword burst out, expanded several times out of thin air, blocked it in front of him, and struck towards the halberd.
"boom"
The two collided with a loud bang.
The monster leader swayed for a moment before standing firm, but Shi Mu's body was shaken and he couldn't help but step back.
He has not practiced thunder attribute skills, nor has he mastered Thunder Sword Technique to perfection. Under such circumstances, he will not be able to exert the power of Thunder Breaking Sword.
Shi Mu took five or six steps back until he encountered a soft body and then stood firm.
He turned around to look, Yan Luo's face turned red and she glared at him fiercely.
Shi Mu sneered, thinking about the sound transmission in his mind, and quickly apologized.
Yanluo snorted and looked at the monster leader in mid-air, full of anger.
Her figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot. The next moment, she appeared behind the monster leader. The purple shark thorn in her hand glowed with purple light and drew a dazzling purple line.
In just a flash, the purple shark thorn had already touched the back of the head of the monster leader. Purple lightning flashed on the surface, and the sound of hissing could be heard endlessly.
The leader of the monster was also extremely impressive. He turned around like lightning, trembled the black halberd in his hand, and turned behind him at an incredible speed, barely blocking the purple shark thorn.
Yanluo's eyes lit up, and with a flick of his arm, the purple shark thorns transformed into countless shadows, pouring down towards the monster leader like a violent storm.
The monster leader shouted angrily, and waved the halberd in his hand into a black whirlwind, but it could not block Yanluo's purple shark thorns. He was stabbed several times in succession in less than a breath, but fortunately they were not stabbed to the vital parts.
He was not fatally injured, so he had to retreat continuously to avoid Yanluo's fierce attack.
The fight between the two was extremely fierce, but there was a melee around them, but no one noticed it. Only Ximen Xue next to him saw it, his mouth slightly opened, and a look of shock flashed in his beautiful eyes.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and his body suddenly flew out. With a loud shout, the lightning of the Thunder-Breaking Sword flashed, and it slashed towards the monster.
With a flash of purple light, the Thunder-Breaking Sword transformed into seven or eight huge sword shadows, wrapping the monster leader inside and causing a sudden stir.
The purple electric light suddenly exploded, covering everything within a radius of more than ten feet with dazzling electric light.
A scream came from the electric light, and the next moment Yanluo's body flew back, falling down together with Shi Mu.
The purple electric light dissipated, and the monster leader disappeared without a trace.
Ximen Xue's eyes flickered as she looked at the two of them and was about to speak.
At this moment, a loud shout came.
In mid-air, four human figures stood in the air, with dazzling purple electric light glowing from their bodies. They were extremely thick, like purple electric dragons running around, and their power was astonishing.
One of the four people is Wen Hua, and the other three are also powerful figures in Lihuo Temple, and their cultivation has reached the late stage of heaven.
The four people muttered words, and thick electric rays shot out from their bodies and merged together. The electric rays exploded in the air, and the light was scorching, as if a giant sun with purple light appeared.
The next moment, the four people shouted loudly at the same time, and the purple sun flashed suddenly, turning into countless thick electric rays, which shot down downwards, covering a radius of several hundred feet, enveloping everyone below as well as the monsters.
.
Shi Mu's expression changed, and a blue light flashed in his hand, but it was immediately held by a silky palm.
"Don't worry." Yanluo's voice rang in his ears.
Amidst the roaring sound, the purple electric light whizzed down, but as soon as it touched the crowd, it immediately bypassed them gently and struck those monsters hard.
Waves of shrill screams could be heard, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The purple electric light also dissipated, and the four people fell slowly in mid-air. Their faces were all pale. However, at this moment, all the monsters and phantom beasts around them disappeared. It was obvious that they had all been wiped out in the previous hit.
"What a powerful thunder formation..." Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but murmur in admiration.
"This is our Lichen Sect's famous formation, the Ten Directions True Martial Thunder Jue Formation. It can identify qi and kill the enemy without hurting yourself. Could it be that Senior Brother Lei Ji doesn't know about it." Ximen Xue looked over with beautiful eyes.
There was a faint flash of strange light in the middle, and he said.
"Of course Farei knows about this formation, but this is the first time I've seen one with such power." Shi Mu frowned slightly and said.
"Really..." Ximen Xue said softly, glanced at Shi Mu, and a faint strange expression flashed through him, and then looked away.
Shi Mu's heart sank, but after taking a look at Ximen Xue, he didn't say much.
In a great battle, although all the monsters and phantom beasts were killed, seven or eight people were also sent out of the tower. It can be said that the losses were considerable.
Under Wen Hua's auspices, the phantom beads left by these phantom beasts were evenly divided.
"Everyone, everyone's vitality has been greatly damaged after this battle. Let's rest here for a while before moving on." Wen Hua said loudly.
After a long battle, everyone was very tired and consumed a lot of their energy, so they immediately landed on the ground and rested cross-legged.
Shi Mu and Yan Luo also sat down on the ground. Ximen Xue sat down next to them, but they were facing other directions and did not look over.
"Just before this group of monsters appeared, I saw a figure flash past..." Shi Mu communicated with Yan Luo and told them about the shadow they saw before.
"I also saw it. There was indeed someone who was using an escape technique similar to the magical power of space. These monsters should have been attracted by that person. The person was still there during the melee, but he disappeared now." Yan Luo
