Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1129: Danger_2

Bang!

The clash of Sword Qi and Spirit Light resulted in a violent explosion, the powerful shockwave spreading in all directions, with the surrounding plants and trees suffering the brunt of it.

However, Mo Qiu was unaware that Li Zhixuan’s initial target was never it, but rather the other Individual Immortal Water Devil!

She truly went all out with her strike earlier, after all, if it didn’t look convincing, Mo Qiu, the old demon, wouldn’t have believed it, and it also would’ve made the two Water Devils less cautious.

But who said Li Zhixuan couldn’t launch a second all-out attack in a short time?

And this time, she aimed for a one-hit kill!

As long as she could kill or heavily injure an Individual Immortal Water Devil, even if facing two at once, even if Mo Qiu’s cultivation was higher than Li Zhixuan’s, she had ample confidence to win!

It’s not that Li Zhixuan was arrogant, but after the previous exchange, she had a clear understanding of Mo Qiu’s power.

Though his cultivation was high, his strength was average, not much stronger than hers, and his combat sense was poor, seeming like he hadn’t fought in many years.

”Ah!”

Just as Mo Qiu relaxed, a pained scream rang in his ears; he was sneak-attacked by Li Zhixuan, who severed his right hand. Although he survived, he was incapable of fighting in the short term.

Meanwhile, the other Individual Immortal Water Devil beside him was also lightly injured by the Sword Qi Li Zhixuan casually unleashed.

Three swords!

Li Zhixuan needed only three sword strikes to kill an unprepared Individual Immortal, and injure another.

The pressure she faced instantly dropped to rock bottom, you could even say it was non-existent!

Mo Qiu was horrified in his heart; he never expected Li Zhixuan’s strength to be so terrifying, he thought that he could quickly resolve this by relying on his cultivation and joining forces with other Water Devils.

But the reality was quite the opposite of his expectations.

Not only were they unable to quickly breach the defenses, allowing numerous Water Devils to enter Shanhai State, but they were stuck outside the city walls.

’Is it possible that this attack will fail?’

In fact, given the current circumstances, they had already failed!

”Scared?”

Li Zhixuan sneered, looking at Mo Qiu with disdain in her eyes.

She intended to provoke him, making it easier to find a flaw. Unfortunately, Mo Qiu had lived many years, and though his strength was lacking, his experience was not.

Although retreating in disgrace seemed shameful, any further fighting would yield no results or might even lead to their demise here.

Thus, Mo Qiu made a very wise decision — retreat!

”Fool!”

Li Zhixuan coldly spat out as she watched the fleeing Spirit Light of the opponent.

His retreat would bring tremendous negative impact to the Sea Clan, possibly more severe than dying under Li Zhixuan’s sword!

The other four Water Devils, seeing this, also fled.

As for those of the Mortal Realm Water Devils, once they lost control and guidance, their consciousness returned, and each was eager to escape, unwilling to stay behind to die.

This disorganized flight, in the eyes of the cultivators, was no different from moving Spiritual Objects.

The cultivators in the city were thrilled at this scene; disregarding any lingering danger or ambush, they charged out, slaughtering the Water Devils fixated on fleeing.

Li Zhixuan did not pursue them, partly because she had exhausted a lot of mana, having used her trump card twice consecutively, and partly because even if she caught up, it would be difficult to capture another, so she simply gave up.

”How could the Sea Clan send such a fool to lead their army!”

Li Zhirui laughed after hearing the recount: ”But this is good for us; at least it greatly reduces the family’s pressure, with no casualties among the family members.”

Though the beast tide remained, without Mo Qiu and others’ control and drive, many Water Devils regained their senses and began withdrawing madly.

Clearly, if this continues, soon the beast tide may completely disappear, ending the challenge the Li family faces prematurely.

However, the Water Devil known as Mo Qiu was unwilling to give up; after all, returning in such disgrace, leaving aside potential punishment, ridicule would be certain, and that would last a long time!

This was something Mo Qiu, with his high pride, could not accept.

So, he wanted the Li family to pay a painful price as a lesson, and more so to restore his face.

”Does anyone have any strategies? If we return like this, we will definitely be the laughingstock of many Sea Clans, possibly facing punishment too.”

As soon as he spoke, Mo Qiu made his stance and the consequences of fleeing clear.

The demons were bitterly silent, unable to think of any good solution for a while.

The Li family’s strength exceeded their expectations, shattering their hopes completely.

”How about pulling the same trick again, but this time targeting another city, surely the cultivator forces in that city aren’t as strong?”

Lan Mu cautiously suggested, ”And this time we can strike suddenly, catching them off guard, they definitely won’t expect it.”

”Then I’ll trust you one more time, but if there are any mistakes again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Mo Qiu’s expression remained grim but softened slightly.

Five Individual Immortal Water Devils, after a few days of rest and recovery, silently arrived at the front of the city one night.

Crash!

The five Water Devils concentrated their attack on a single point, with a muffled grunt, the city’s formation was shattered, the city walls collapsed with a boom, and numerous cultivators employed various means to save their lives.

As they were about to strike again, Li Zhirui appeared immediately, barely calming the panic-stricken crowd, helping them regain their composure.

Then his gaze turned to the five Water Devils led by Mo Qiu, his voice icy cold, saying, ”Originally I was thinking when to solve you all, now you’ve all delivered yourselves to my doorstep.”

”Since you’re here, don’t leave!”

As he spoke, countless vines and giant trees erupted from the ground, trapping them in an instant. Simultaneously, massive water vapor gathered forming a glacier, splitting into various weapons attacking them.

”Petty tricks, and you dare show them here.”

Saying this, Mo Qiu then attacked the cage, intending to break free first, and then address other concerns.

But to his astonishment, his attack upon the vines did not cut them through!

”How is this possible?! Could these Spirit Vines be Immortal-grade Spiritual Objects?”

Mo Qiu knew things were unfavorable in his heart, a sense of urgency followed, urgently urging, ”Quick! Attack this spot together, we must break free from this cage.”

Of course, these Spirit Vines were not Immortal-grade Spiritual Objects. Even with spatial resources at hand, Li Zhirui found it immensely difficult to nurture Immortal-grade Spiritual Objects, requiring an incredibly prolonged time and effort.

They were essentially akin to the initial Purifying White Lotus, inherently a special Divine Power, appearing indistinct from tangible items, yet wholly transformed by mana.

No other choice, after Li Zhirui broke through to the Immortal Realm, some common divine powers required Spirit Seeds that were hard to come by, he couldn’t afford to wait lengthy periods to nurture them.

Thus, he explored alternative ways, creating some similar divine powers.

However, this divine power had a significant drawback, which was the high mana consumption, but for those cultivating the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record,” this wasn’t considered much of a shortcoming.

”Stop struggling, you cannot escape.”

Despite saying so, Li Zhirui didn’t cease using spells to attack them.

He was wholly buying time, waiting for Feng Buming and Feng Changqing to come to their aid!

Once they arrived, it wouldn’t guarantee all five Individual Immortal Water Devils would be annihilated, but they could at least settle one or two!

By then, the beast tide sparked by the Sea Clan would no longer pose a significant threat to the Li family.

”Damn it! He’s stalling for time, waiting for reinforcement!” Mo Qiu immediately realized Li Zhirui’s intentions.

”Not too stupid, but it’s too late!”

The distance between the two cities was merely a dozen miles, such a short distance was but a few breaths for the Fengxi race.

Had they not been cultivating earlier, Li Zhirui wouldn’t have needed to hold out for so long.
