Chapter 115: Chapter 116: Yongnan Double Tribulation
At this moment, the entire Five Poison Peak appeared unusually silent.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t quite understand why Ye Xingqun would use a Transmission, but guessed it was likely to avoid making too much noise and giving themselves away, disturbing the enemy like alerting a snake by shaking the grass.
After all, if there were cultivators here, they might not notice them, but those cultivators might not discover their arrival either.
The visibility in this three-colored miasma was low, and the Jade Ring Rats were all in this condition.
At this time, Ye Xingyu once again took out an Array Disc.
The two family uncles, indeed, deserved their status as elders; the thoroughness of their preparations earned Ye Jingcheng’s admiration while also instantly alerting him.
In the future, he must also be cautious and meticulous like this.
The Array was quickly set up, and the location chosen this time was also at the edge of a small cluster of Purple Poison Thorns.
This Array Disc was clearly an Attack Array, with the positions of its Array Banner and Array Foundation very close together.
Within arrays, without a doubt, the Mountain Protection and Island Protection Arrays of sects are the most complex and powerful.
These portable array disc arrays are much weaker.
But due to the immense power of the array, it was still highly sought after by cultivators.
Among these array disc arrays, the ones with widely dispersed array banner positions are trapping arrays, covering a wide range, making the array more stable and hard to break; the trapping arrays have special array banner positions, while the attack array has closely positioned array banners.
Of course, there’s no absolute, but Ye Jingcheng thought the Attack Array could be quite large!
After the array was set up, Ye Xingyu left the last array banner for activation.
Elsewhere, the existence of an array might be discovered, but at the Five Poison Peak, it was absolutely impossible.
After all, the three-colored miasma here was too dense.
Indeed, if not for this environment, the Five Poison Peak might have already been swept clean by a Foundation Establishment clan.
"Everyone, pay attention. When the Purple Poison Thorn attacks, its thorns will be stretched out the straightest. Among them, those three-zhang long are thirty years old, and those ten-zhang long have nearly a hundred years of age. When the time comes, I’ll cast a Clarity Skill, aim at the two fifty-year-old ones and unleash the Flying Swords!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, with Ye Jingteng being the most excited.
Then, Ye Xingqun released several Black Wood Ants missing a few limbs, sending them towards the Purple Poison Thorn group!
But the next moment, the Purple Poison Thorn group began to release a layer of purple mist.
The three Black Wood Ants seemed to see something and suddenly flew backwards!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the sound of air being sliced was deafening, as no less than five or six Purple Poison Thorns swept towards the three Black Wood Ants!
These Purple Poison Thorns moved extremely fast, like a purple light shot out.
Two of the Black Wood Ants were immediately rolled back!
At this moment, a Clarity Skill Spirit Talisman was cast in front of the five of them, and instantly, within the range of the Purple Poison Thorn, the miasma dissipated by half, increasing visibility twofold.
The five of them quickly located the three centennial Purple Poison Thorns!
And they spotted more Purple Poison Thorns in the distance.
Ye Xingyu’s Tier One Upper Grade Flying Sword slashed out first, followed by Ye Jingteng, and lastly Ye Jingli and Ye Xingqun.
However, Ye Jingcheng was different; he released several Ice Freeze Talismans and also unleashed nine Silver Snow Needles!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Xingyu’s Magic Sword was the first to be deflected midway by several adjacent Poison Thorns.
The tips of these Poison Thorns were like Poisonous Spears, with considerable power!
The attacks from Ye Jingteng and Ye Xingqun also made no progress.
They wanted to resolve it instantly, but didn’t anticipate that even circling around, these Purple Poison Thorns could still mutually shield each other!
The real issue was that there were too many century-old Purple Poison Thorns here.
Conversely, Ye Jingcheng’s three Ice Freeze Talismans caused the Poison Thorns to slow down immediately; with the Black Wood Vine Spiritual Artifact, he understood Wood Attribute Spirit Plants the best.
As the speed of the Purple Poison Thorns slowed, Ye Jingcheng’s seven Silver Snow Needles shot out. This time, however, he did not aim for the main thorns of the Purple Poison Thorns but severed six sub-thorns instead.
This greatly reduced the pressure on the other four.
Seeing this, the other four wouldn’t miss the opportunity!
Ye Xinghe’s Flying Sword slashed out again, directly severing a century-old Purple Poison Thorn.
This time, Ye Jingteng swung three Cyan Yuan Swords, even unleashing the Cyan Yuan Sword Light which had defeated Ye Jingyu during the family competition.
In an instant, two century-old Purple Poison Thorns were felled!
Their hands waved as they utilized the Artifact Manipulation Skill to retrieve all the fallen Purple Poison Thorns, including a century-old Purple Poison Thorn uprooted entirely.
Yet at this time, from afar, an overwhelming number of Purple Poison Thorn vines surged towards them!
Ye Xingyu and Ye Xingqun hurriedly threw out Fireball Talismans, but were immediately extinguished by the purple toxic gas, only fueling more Purple Qi to fuse with the miasma.
Witnessing this, the group panicked, involuntarily retreating once again, and at this moment, Ye Jingcheng summoned the Crimson Flame Fox!
As the twin tails fluttered, two fireballs the size of well mouths blasted forward!
This was the Crimson Flame’s Fireball Technique, and compared to before, it was faster and had significantly increased in power!
The two fireballs fell, evaporating much of the poison mist from the Purple Poison Thorns and burning within them!
Ferocious beyond measure!
But it wasn’t over yet; at this moment, the Jade Ring Rat squeaked twice!
And in Ye Jingcheng’s hand, a Cyan Heart Mirror suddenly appeared.
The mirror was raised sharply towards the left side!
With this action, a huge cyan light column emerged!
The light column pierced through countless three-colored miasmas, finally landing thirty zhang away.
The light shone on the two cultivators with fierce-looking masks!
These two had massive spirit shields, each wielding a life-taking flying spear spiritual artifact.
These flying spear artifacts, though not as versatile as flying swords in the Cultivation Realm, have a penetrating power unmatched by flying swords.
Especially during an ambush, few cultivators can withstand them, even if they manage to react in time.
Clearly, these two had been concealing themselves nearby, waiting for this moment!
The Cyan Heart Mirror, Ye Haiyi’s renowned treasure, not only broke the spirit shield, but also slowed their movements with its reflection!
At this very moment, Ye Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox sent out two massive fireball techniques once again.
Covered by the fireball technique, the two cultivators looked alarmed!
They quickly took out two golden shield spiritual artifacts!
The two massive fireball techniques struck the shields, but unusually failed to achieve any effect.
The shields deflected the fireballs completely, turning them into heat waves that spread outward.
"It’s the famed Yongnan Double Tribulation among loose cultivators!" Ye Xingyu’s expression changed.
But at the same time, multiple spiritual artifacts were deployed, and the cyan-striped leopard and golden armor mountain-piercing beast instantly charged at the two tribulation cultivators.
The fame of the Yongnan Double Tribulation is great, even daring to rob sect disciples from the Taiyi Sect and others!
They are bold and audacious, yet their concealment is impeccable, once they kill, they flee to distant places, making even the Taiyi Sect unable to deal with them.
Of course, this is also because they don’t kill relatives or disciples of True Masters.
Otherwise, they would have been executed long ago.
Their notorious reputation is undeniable, and there’s even a bounty on them within the Taiyi Sect that remains unclaimed.
Having killed so many sect disciples, naturally, these two tribulation cultivators have a wealth of treasures.
The two shields they just deployed are tier one top-grade shields, golden wood shields.
It’s important to note that even Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingyu don’t possess top-grade shields.
This is not only due to their high cost but also because crafting them is far more difficult than crafting attack spiritual artifacts.
In the market, they are rare items.
Despite being surprised, everyone didn’t stop for a moment!
Ye Jingcheng’s Cyan Heart Mirror was also freed at this moment; its primary ability is the fixed object cyan light.
The two tribulation cultivators took out another mirror to reflect the cyan light and regained their movements!
However, the poisonous miasma emitted by the Cyan Heart Mirror couldn’t be gathered!
The golden armor mountain-piercing beast and cyan-striped leopard charged at the duo.
But the duo took out a copper ring spiritual artifact, smashing them away.
Ye Jingteng’s Cyan Yuan Sword light slashed down again!
But the two golden wood shields blocked the massive sword light.
Using two streaks of Cyan Yuan Sword light, Ye Jingteng had to consume a spirit pill to restore spiritual energy, while three separate blades slashed out.
Ye Jingli’s cyan-scaled python also charged forward, wearing thick thorn armor, and with a flick of its tail, sent the shield flying!
This made Ye Jingteng’s eyes light up!
Though cultivators are adept at artifact manipulation skill, they can’t withstand the mighty swings of the cyan-scaled python!
The golden armor beast can also use earth escape to sweep the duo from underground, while the cyan-striped leopard, with its speed akin to the wind.
For a moment, the two great tribulation cultivators were in a dire state, forced to produce numerous spirit talismans.
With a face full of annoyance, they took several spirit pills.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng and the other four were also extremely frustrated, knowing that if it was any other loose cultivator at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, they would have already captured them.
Remember that Ye Jingcheng initiated the ambush, which gave them the upper hand.
Otherwise, if ambushed, they could immediately lose members.
Yet the Yongnan Double Tribulation possessed too many spirit talismans.
Not only do spirit talismans consume little spiritual power when activated, but they are quick!
Crucially, at this moment, Red Flame Fox and Ye Xingqun had to constantly watch their backs due to the purple poison thorns.
One fireball technique after another was cast, pushing those purple poison thorns back.
Among them, the fireball technique of the Red Flame Fox was like a nemesis to the purple poison thorns.
The poisonous fog was useless, and the vine thorns couldn’t approach.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Ring Rat’s ears twitched again, squeaking loudly.
"Uncle Xingqun, Uncle Xingyu, there’s more!" Ye Jingcheng transmitted his thoughts, remaining extremely vigilant as the Cyan Heart Mirror could only light up one direction.
Next moment, the belly of the Jade Ring Rat also revealed a spirit talisman launcher, firing two ice freeze talismans toward the rear right.
The ice freeze talismans landed, quite clearly freezing a cultivator attempting to ambush!
At this moment, Ye Xingyu’s last array banner also fell instantaneously.
The spirit array activated instantly, forming a giant Evil-Slaying Sword three zhang long.
The sword’s power was tremendous, even Ye Jingcheng’s eyes changed!
With a thunderous boom, a cultivator wearing a spirit-blocking robe was severed in an instant!
This cultivator’s cultivation was surprisingly also at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer!
This cultivator, wounded, showed terror in their eyes and turned to flee!
The Yongnan Double Tribulation also sought to escape together.
