Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1113: Magical

The murderous golden light and spiritual fire smashed towards Mount Wanxian from left and right.

If Li Zhirui didn’t step in to block them, the Mountain Protection Array would not withstand the duo’s attack.

After all, despite Jiang Fengwu’s high talent in the Array Tao, he was limited by his cultivation, and being able to set up a formation one realm beyond himself was already remarkable.

To set up an Immortal Realm formation with a Mortal Realm cultivation is just wishful thinking.

Li Zhirui naturally wouldn’t let them have their way. Without hesitation, he stepped out, a torrent of Mana surged from his body, and he unleashed several Defense Divine Abilities. Instantly, numerous water curtains and overlapping green leaves obstructed the two Divine Powers.

Bang!

A muffled explosion sounded, and the water curtains and green leaves turned into specks of Spirit Light, scattering everywhere, but they perfectly blocked the attack.

Zhang Zongkang’s probing attack was casually wiped away by Li Zhirui.

”What skill! Such strong power!” Xu Shenzhang said with a gloomy face.

If they hadn’t roped in Zhang Zongkang and attacked the Li family with only him and Jiang He, the outcome would have been disastrous.

Because they could all see that Li Zhirui, facing three opponents alone, was very relaxed. Clearly, he hadn’t even used his full strength.

”Brother Zhang, you must not hold back anymore, otherwise we are bound to lose!”

Zhang Zongkang’s face didn’t look good because this comment carried a hint of blame.

But his performance just now was indeed disappointing, and he couldn’t argue, merely grumbling, ”Don’t worry, with the three of us joining forces, an early-stage Individual Immortal is nothing!”

”You all underestimate me too much.”

Li Zhirui let out a cold laugh. His Mana, like a roaring wave, condensed into a vast lake out of thin air, covered in mist, with giant trees and Spirit Vines growing within.

The three dared not linger above the lake, choosing to fly away. But then, countless Spirit Lights flew out from Mount Wanxian, crashing down on them and blocking their retreat.

And in those brief moments, the water mist suddenly became so thick that it engulfed all three of them. Giant trees and Spirit Vines launched various attacks, constantly cutting the distance between the trio.

On top of that, the water mist—blocking Divine Sense and sight—quickly severed their connection.

”Not good! He plans to defeat us one by one!”

All three of them realized this at the first moment, pondering Li Zhirui’s terrifying power, knowing that without teaming up, this operation wouldn’t just fail, it might cost them their lives!

So, while on guard for attacks that could come anytime from the thick mist, they also cautiously moved around, trying to locate each other. Only by regrouping would they have a chance to survive this crisis.

Swish!

Xu Shenzhang heard a sharp wind sound, felt alarmed, and hastily defended. A dark green wood arrow pinned onto his Defensive Spiritual Light, then exploded fiercely.

If Xu Shenzhang hadn’t sensed danger and quickly added more Mana, he might have been injured.

Before he could catch his breath, Li Zhirui appeared from the thick mist with a playful expression, saying, ”I already know your purpose for coming to Mount Wanxian. Hand over the Treasure Map, and perhaps I might spare your lives.”

”If you continue to resist stubbornly, you’ll lose all your years of cultivation in vain.”

Xu Shenzhang was horrified, forced himself to calm down, wondering how Li Zhirui knew about the Treasure Map — had he already dealt with Jiang He or Zhang Zongkang?

This is impossible!

They had been separated for less than a quarter of an hour, even if Li Zhirui was powerful, he couldn’t capture them both so quickly.

It made more sense if he had ambushed and killed them quietly.

But if not, how did he know about the Treasure Map?

”I have no idea what you’re talking about! Let us leave quickly, or the sect will mobilize its forces and slaughter your entire Li family, with tens of thousands of members!” Xu Shenzhang, puzzled, simply denied it and used the Hundred Rainbow Sect to threaten Li Zhirui.

”Heh!”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui’s face turned cold, and he said with a chilling tone, ”Apparently, you know little about me; the thing I detest most is threats!”

”Especially under current circumstances, where you are meat on the chopping block and I wield the knife. You dare to be so insolent because you think I wouldn’t dare to act against you?”

Li Zhirui was willing to waste time with Xu Shenzhang, knowing the situations on the other two battlefields. Those two were being completely suppressed, with no chance of turning the tables. He didn’t need to assist there, and wanted to exploit Xu Shenzhang for some information.

”Humph! Kill me if you want, but just do it!”

”You do have some backbone, I just wonder if you’ll remain this brave under torture.”

Seeing this, Li Zhirui knew it was impossible to learn anything from Xu Shenzhang for the time being, but perhaps that might change in a while.

Xu Shenzhang remained on high alert, but he couldn’t detect attacks in the thick mist and could only defend himself as much as possible.

Thud—

A cyan-hued wood spike silently shot out from his side, piercing through several layers of his Defensive Spiritual Light and directly stabbing into his flesh.

”Ah!”

Accompanied by a scream, Xu Shenzhang felt unbearable pain all over, and the blood flowing from the wound was tinged with a bit of green, reeking foully.
