Chapter 164 Unsealing
A man in black robes appeared in front of You Yunzi. With a wave of his hand, the demonic cultivators and immortal disciples fighting on the right side of the viewing area were struck by a beam of light, and everyone instantly turned to ashes.
His arrival was so sudden that it shocked everyone. It seemed that the demonic cultivators had released him, but he attacked indiscriminately, not even sparing the demonic cultivators.
For a moment, the people around him were watching him intently, afraid that he would be hit again.
"I didn't expect that your cultivation could still improve after being sealed for so many years." You Yunzi was also very shocked. He used his divine sense to probe and found that the other party's strength was actually above his own.
The man in black robes curled his lips into a smile, his golden pupils radiating a chilling killing intent and rage. He raised his hand and removed his cloak, revealing a pale yet exquisite face. When those pupils looked at You Yunzi, they exuded a terrifying coldness.
"That's all thanks to you for throwing me into the abyss. But unexpectedly, there was a cold spring down there, which was perfect for me to cultivate. Today I am finally free, and it's time to settle the score with you."
"Jiu Ze, back then you attacked the Yanhan Sect to seize the spiritual medicine and slaughtered the immortal sect. How dare you bring up settling scores with me?" You Yunzi said coldly, conjuring a long staff out of thin air. At the top of the staff was a red bead shaped like an eyeball that could roll around.
This is You Yunzi's natal magic weapon, the Soul-Separating Nine Nether Staff. Anyone injured by this staff will not only experience a decline in cultivation, but may also be instantly turned into blood and have their soul completely absorbed.
Back then, Jiuze was defeated by this staff, which caused his cultivation to regress and he was sealed by Youyunzi. If it weren't for the fact that there was a cold spring at the place of the seal, he would probably have been destroyed long ago.
Seeing that the Nine-Headed Staff of the Soul-Separating Netherworlds had narrowed its golden pupils slightly, a cloud of black mist rose slowly from its palm. "As a demon beast, you actually associate with ants. You are a disgrace to demon beasts."
After saying that, Jiuze unleashed the black mist, which instantly shot into the sky and spread outwards. Black flames fell from within, crashing down on the people below like fireballs. Some people were accidentally struck by the black flames, their bodies quickly burned, and they turned to ashes in an instant.
The others, disregarding the battle, quickly activated their defenses, but their cultivation levels were too low, and ordinary defenses were simply ineffective. Their bodies were shattered and consumed by flames.
Strangely enough, the flames could not be extinguished. Some people used water-based magical artifacts to summon water to wash them away, but it was of no use at all, as if they were not ordinary flames.
"It's the Heart-Eating Flame, it never dies or dissipates until the bones turn to ash. Be careful not to get it on you, otherwise..." Before the elder of Floating Cloud Mountain could finish speaking, he saw his disciples being instantly engulfed by the flames. He could only grit his teeth and retreat, trying his best to avoid it, and he couldn't bother to protect them anymore.
Once the Heart-Devouring Flame was unleashed, everyone disregarded everything else and could only focus on saving their lives. Even the demonic cultivators did the same, using all sorts of magical treasures to hold out for as long as possible.
"How about this gift? Today I will make all of you pay with your lives for my deceased wife!"
After Jiuze burst into laughter, his body transformed into a giant python with nine heads. With a sweep of his tail, he crushed the mountains, causing everyone to flee in all directions. However, they were trapped in the barrier and had to be careful not to get tainted by the Heart-Eating Flame.
"Let's make our move." Ping Yao slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and while trapping Qian Wenyang, she flashed to the arena. The arena was already in a mess, with only Jiu Ze and You Yunzi floating in mid-air fighting.
As soon as she said this, the group of demonic cultivators around her seemed to be controlled and sat down on the ground. They made a strange hand gesture, and a black mist appeared between their hands and emitted a black light. It connected with the others to form a huge black magic circle, which pressed down from the sky.
Many people were seeing this formation for the first time and didn't know what it was, but they could clearly feel an unprecedented sense of danger. The key was that they were trapped here with nowhere to escape. It was clear to them that once this formation completely suppressed them, they would all die without a doubt.
"What kind of magic array is this? It's so strange..." someone shouted, their voice trembling.
"This is the first time I've seen this either. It looks like a magic circle formed by burning life force. It must be a forbidden technique of demonic cultivators. We need to be careful."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed mixed feelings. The only thing they could do now was to try their best to break the formation of the magic array. So the elders and seniors of the various sects turned their attention to the demonic cultivators who were activating the magic array, determined to break through them no matter what.
As for the remaining disciples with lower cultivation levels, they couldn't care less and could only leave it to fate.
Pingyao was quite satisfied with the situation over there, and she had also achieved her goal of disrupting things here. However, she was still quite concerned about the barrier that the elders of the Yanhan Sect had set up outside. It seemed that they had made the worst-case scenario plan, and at worst, they would perish together with each other.
We need to finish this quickly.
Ping Yao's eyes darkened. You Yunzi was a very troublesome person, so she would leave him to Jiu Ze. She had other things to do.
Suspended in mid-air, Pingyao glanced around, a glint in her eyes as if searching for something. Soon, her eyes lit up and her smile deepened. "Found it."
Amidst the chaos, Tao Tao expressionlessly rose from the ground. The demonic markings on her forehead grew clearer, and her eyes became increasingly sharp. She glanced at the two people fighting in the sky and narrowed her eyes. The surroundings continued to collapse, and the ground was already in ruins. She stood on the broken walls and was about to change her palm seal when a beam of light struck. Tao Tao's eyes turned cold, and she pushed out a palm with her backhand. The two clashed, and she was jolted back a few steps.
"The Demon-Slaying Pestle was indeed on you. Little girl, you've done me a great favor. Now it's time to return it to its rightful owner." Pingyao looked down at Taotao, approaching step by step, her tone quite threatening.
But Tao Tao ignored him completely. Even though he was already seriously injured and lacked spiritual power, he still desperately summoned the Ice Thunder Sword and pointed it directly at Ping Yao, which made Ping Yao furious. "That is not something you can touch. Since you insist on seeking death, then I will not let you live."
Pingyao pointed a finger at Taotao, and an extremely powerful force attacked Taotao. In her current state, Taotao had no chance of blocking it. If she took the hit head-on, she would surely die.
Just as she was about to attack Tao Tao, an ice-blue barrier suddenly appeared in front of Tao Tao, which actually blocked Ping Yao's attack. This surprised Ping Yao a lot. Although her attack was not at full strength, it was at least eight-tenths of her strength. How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator block it?
"Do you have some kind of magical treasure hidden on you? I want to see just how powerful it is!" Pingyao attacked again, this time holding nothing back.
At this moment, Bai Yan's voice came from Tao Tao's sea of consciousness, "Aren't you going to wake up yet?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao groggily opened her eyes, her mind blank. She was somewhat bewildered by what had just happened, and unfamiliar memories flooded her mind. Vaguely, she recalled that she seemed to have stabbed her father with a sword just now...
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Bai Yan's voice came again, and Tao Tao suddenly came back to her senses. She looked up and saw Bai Yan standing in front of her, activating his defense to block Ping Yao's attack.
"Ayan, what's going on here?" Tao Tao looked completely bewildered. The surroundings were in chaos, as if a lot of things had happened, and her competition with Ye Lan had come to an end.
"You actually swallowed the Demon-Slaying Pestle, you little brat! Hand it over right now!"
Pingyao roared in a low voice. She hadn't expected this person who suddenly appeared to be so powerful. His cultivation seemed to be no less than hers. If they were to fight, she might be able to win. However, she had important things to do and couldn't afford to expend too much energy here.
Seeing Pingyao glaring at her angrily, Tao Tao tilted her head and mobilized her spiritual power. Only then did she realize how serious the damage to her body was. Not only was her spiritual power completely depleted, but her body was also controlled by a strange force. She had only temporarily regained control.
Could it be the Demon-Slaying Pestle? But when did it burrow into my body?
Was it around that time?
Tao Tao frowned slightly. She didn't want this thing at all. It didn't sound like a good thing, and it had even controlled her consciousness and made her do some inexplicable things. The other party wanted her so badly that they wanted to give it to her. The problem was, how could she give it to them?
Seeing that Tao Tao was confused and didn't seem to intend to call out, Ping Yao was so angry that she attacked again, but each time she was blocked by Bai Yan and couldn't get close to Tao Tao at all.
"Who are you? I've never heard of such a master in the Annihilation Frost Sect." Ping Yao looked coldly at Bai Yan and questioned him in a deep voice.
