"Are you crazy?!"
Within the Jade Mist Valley's grand array, Linghu Xian's expression changed the moment the Li Clan's Old Ancestor made his move.
The Li Clan's Old Ancestor opened with a Yin-Yang Detonation.
Around the Tai Chi Diagram, various rules suddenly materialized in all directions. Then, mutually counteracting rules—such as water and fire—began to collide and detonate!
The sheer destructive power of this strike was something only the Fox Saint and Linghu Xian truly understood.
Furthermore, it was a technique that sacrificed eight hundred of one's own to kill a thousand enemies!
With just a single strike, the rules within the Yin-Yang Fish diagram detonated instantly, sending Tai Chi Dao rhythm rippling out in all directions.
Jade Mist Valley had clearly been prepared.
The moment Li Wei utilized his Dao method, the disciples also activated the Jade Mist Valley's array formation.
Hidden factions always had trump cards; from within the Jade Mist Valley's grand array, two dragon shadows were even summoned, deploying defensive arrays of the 'Earth' and 'Wood' elements imbued with protective Dao methods to withstand the shockwaves.
Driven by the grand array, the Dharma Treasures and Spirit Artifacts of the Jade Mist Valley disciples unexpectedly summoned the phantom of a compassionate old man.
Erupting with extraordinary might, the phantom charged toward Li Wei and the cultivators of the Three Prefectures.
Tens of thousands of Jade Mist Valley cultivators linked their Spiritual power together; this method was exactly like the 'Ancestral Spirit Array' used by the Li Clan to pool Spiritual power, except the vessel wasn't a person, but the grand array itself.
Right after instantly detonating the Tai Chi Fish diagram, Li Wei had already used his 'Mirror' technique to flee, instantly observing the situation in all directions.
This full-powered strike was also his way of testing the waters.
His retreat moments ago was because the Jade Mist Valley disciples had pooled their Spiritual power to have the summoned old man cast a technique.
Inside the array, the old man's words became law; wherever his eyes looked, an aura of destructive slaughter instantly materialized.
The old man's eyes locked onto the advancing Zhangsun Feng.
"Annihilate!"
Zhangsun Feng was not one to be trifled with either. Her Dao-Comprehending realm aura exuded an otherworldly, transcendent presence.
Clad in green, she unleashed a single sword strike. This Zhangsun family ancestor's so-called 'Dao of Severed Emotions' was absolutely a lie meant to fool idiots.
Wherever her sword swept, the destructive aura unleashed by the Jade Mist Valley grand array actually solidified into substantial black mist.
Just as it approached the cultivators of the Three Prefectures, it bizarrely retreated, detonating along its original incoming trajectory.
This caused her nearby companions to breathe a sigh of relief. Without time to marvel, they capitalized on the Li Clan's Old Ancestor's explosive attack to charge in all directions.
"I will handle the Jade Mist Valley's grand array."
Seeing the extraordinary nature of the Jade Mist Valley's grand array, capable of instantly unleashing techniques comparable to Body Integration realm power, Zhangsun Feng issued a command. "Fire Ancestor, please lend me a hand."
"Alright!"
Li Yaotie didn't hesitate in the slightest, instantly grasping the situation.
He was an artifact refiner, and his Unorthodox Artifact Body was deeply versed in side-paths.
Although his Array Dao was inferior to his grandson Tianqi's, it had still barely reached the fourth tier.
His Spirit Treasure body could also withstand the attacks from the grand array. Moreover...
He cast a glance at the distant Fox Saint. He wielded the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire, and as the saying goes, fire and water are incompatible.
The Fox Saint was his mother's master; regardless of who touched whom between them, his mother wouldn't be happy.
...
The moment the battle broke out, Li Wei knew this fight would not be easy.
There was an array outside, and an array inside.
The disciples of Jade Mist Valley and the people of the Peerless Hall used their geographical advantage at the edge of the Jade Mist Valley's grand array to trap their Three Prefectures' mighty figures.
This was the exact type of tactic their old Li family used in the past; today, he was personally experiencing that feeling of having ants crawling all over his body.
Every cultivator in the world has their own karmic opportunities and extraordinary traits.
Even the Divinity Transformation cultivators of Jade Mist Valley and the Peerless Hall could not be underestimated.
Just look—various bizarre techniques, Dharma Treasures, and talismans swarmed the sky in an instant, though the vast majority were isolated by the 'Mirror' technique.
Yet there were also some bizarre moves, such as self-detonation or mind manipulation. Although they were barely scratches, they couldn't be dealt with endlessly.
The true trouble was still the Fox Saint and Linghu Xian before him.
The Fox Saint was even more troublesome because of ice.
Li Wei was currently observing everything through an ice surface brimming with Dao rhythm.
The ice Dao rhythm, capable of freezing almost anything, made even Li Wei's soul tremble; his spatial rules were even isolated by the solid ice.
"Boom!"
Fortunately, there were people behind him.
A pink Dao rhythm landed on the solid ice trapping Li Wei, melting away the Fox Saint's ice method little by little, almost as if holding the ice method in its mouth...
Turning his head, Xuanyuan Liqun was already beside Li Wei, exuding a pink Dao rhythm from his entire body.
"..." Li Wei seemed to understand why this person was constantly feared by the women of the Zhangsun family.
The Dao of Dual Cultivation.
He had heard of this cultivation method; it involved intercourse... Heaven knows just how much dual cultivation this man had engaged in to reach the Dao-Comprehending realm?
Seeing the crowd instantly gathering, and Xuanyuan Liqun wiggling his eyebrows at him, the corners of Li Wei's mouth twitched.
He immediately charged toward the distant Linghu Xian, transmitting his voice: "I leave the old fox to you. Guard carefully against the Jade Mist Valley's grand array."
"Daoist Friend?"
As the Li Clan's Old Ancestor stepped into the mirror surface, Xuanyuan Liqun blanked for a moment.
He had long heard that the Li Clan fought with an absolute disregard for their lives, likely learned from the Li Clan's Old Ancestor himself. Now, he had truly broadened his horizons.
Exploding with full strength the moment they met, using a method that sacrificed eight hundred of one's own to kill a thousand enemies—the moment he got close, he could already sense that the Li Clan's Old Ancestor had sustained a minor injury.
And now, he instantly utilized the mirror to arrive right in front of Linghu Xian.
Thrusting his Spirit Treasure long spear, he couldn't wait to use his spatial technique to drag Linghu Xian off to fight elsewhere.
Despite having lived for a very long time, Xuanyuan Liqun couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
What a true man. From Linghu Xian, he could distinctly sense an aura even more terrifying than the Fox Saint's, yet the Li Clan's Old Ancestor chose to face him alone—and he was only at the Dao-Glimpsing realm...
"Little girl, your family's Old Ancestor..." Xuanyuan Liqun glanced at Li Kuanghua, who had arrived beside him, a trace of worry flashing through his eyes.
"Our Old Ancestor has his own judgments. I thank Senior for your concern."
Li Kuanghua yanked her chain, causing it to rattle loudly. Her eyes held not a single trace of worry as she stared deadlocked at the Fox Saint.
Nearly a century had passed, but she still vividly remembered when the Old Ancestor dealt with Uncle Rain. That battle had lasted for an entire year, but now...
Li Kuanghua cast a glance at the family retainers and Sword Venerable Drizzle; the few of them all nodded in unison.
There was absolutely no look of worry among them.
Witnessing this scene, Xuanyuan Liqun couldn't comprehend it. Where did these Li Clan members get such absolute confidence?
Dao methods blew past like the wind, snapping their robes loudly as they stood in a standoff against the Fox Saint.
Of all the people who had come from Azure Cloud Prefecture, on some exposed patch of skin on every single one of them, there was a mark... a mark that was gradually fading.
It was the scar of a long spear piercing them!
