Chapter 96: Chapter 96: A Dying Counterattack
The narrow mountain valley entrance had been ravaged by countless spells and magical artifacts.
The Five-Colored Poison Lizard incessantly pressed against the ground, causing countless earth spikes to rise endlessly.
The Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger was even more ruthless in its vicious attacks this time.
Fortunately, Li Yufei was an experienced Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with combat experience, expertly controlling his Spiritual Power.
Otherwise, with his cultivation at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, he would have long exhausted his Spiritual Power.
Of course, this was also due to Li Yufei possessing three impressive Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts.
Among the three artifacts, one was a Taiqing Sword, a standard artifact of the Taiyi Sect’s Sword Peak, another was a Cyan and Red Silver Ring Saber, and additionally, a dark red Spirit Bat Shield.
The Taiqing Sword is renowned; as long as you are part of the Taiyi Sect, whether a sect disciple or from an affiliated force, you can use Sect Contribution Points to acquire it.
The sword’s might is remarkable, capable of releasing a Taiqing Sword Aura at critical moments.
This is comparable to a strike from a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, which is precisely why the Ye Family’s Five-Colored Poison Lizard dared not use its long tongue attack.
The Cyan and Red Silver Ring Saber attacked in sweeping arcs, primarily targeting the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger, while the Spirit Bat Shield, though pitch black, was effective against the Blood Eagle.
From this, it was evident that Li Yufei was indeed wealthy, and the resources within Li Mugu must not be lacking.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to produce three Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng appear, a trace of Spiritual Aura flashed in the Lizard Lord’s eyes, and the next moment, its long tongue stabbed towards Li Yufei’s chest!
Clearly, the Poison Lizard had considerable Spiritual Wisdom, knowing that he could heal long tongue injuries.
Simultaneously, the Blood Eagle’s claws, covered in blood-red Spiritual Light, menacingly reached towards Li Yufei.
The attacks of the Three Beasts intensified considerably.
Meanwhile, on the Qi Cultivation Cultivators’ side, encircled by Ye Family Members and Spirit Beasts, only Li Mu Hai remained in the blink of an eye.
Among them, two were reduced to charred corpses by a single Fireball Skill from Ye Jingcheng’s Two-tailed Red Flame Fox.
For a Spirit Beast like the Red Flame Fox, if left unchecked, it could be terrifying on the battlefield.
Li Mu Hai stood dejectedly at the edge of the valley, a Spirit Talisman falling from his hand, yet it failed to break the Array.
He had two Array-Breaking Techniques, and now using the last one completely shattered his illusions.
"Your Ye Family hides so much, you will get your comeuppance sooner or later!" Li Mu Hai raged impotently!
A Tier One Array-Breaking Talisman did not cause a ripple in this Array, representing only one possibility: this Trapping Array is a Tier Two Middle Grade Trapping Array.
The Ye Family’s most accomplished Array Master, Ye Xingliu, hinted that Ye Xingliu likely broke through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!
But before Li Mu Hai could continue, a red and white Snow Needle pierced through his forehead.
This red and white Snow Needle was not Ye Jingcheng’s, but rather his third granduncle, Ye Haiyi’s.
Evidently, in the Ye Family, Ye Jingcheng was not the only one who favored using such ambush artifacts.
The inexplicable demise of Li Mu Hai was swiftly followed by all Ye Family Members launching spells at Li Yufei!
Although Li Yufei repeatedly brought out three Spirit Talismans to no avail, under such overwhelming attacks by so many cultivators, he finally released a Taiqing Sword Aura, though this time not targeting the three Tier Two Spirit Beasts, but rather the Two-tailed Red Flame Fox.
This scene left Ye Jingcheng astonished, and Ye Haiyi once again deployed the Shield to defend against the Nail Spiritual Artifact, but it was cleaved into two by the Taiqing Sword Aura, which continued towards the Red Flame Fox.
If this Sword Aura struck true, the Red Flame Fox would undoubtedly perish.
Luckily, the Shield’s resistance caused the Sword Aura to pause momentarily, the Purple Gold Wings flew up once more, and the Sword Aura slashed at the Red Flame Fox’s hind leg as Ye Jingcheng released a Layer of Stone Skin Skill at the critical moment.
Yet the effect of the Stone Skin Skill was noticeably reduced when used on others, causing the Red Flame Fox to cry out loudly in pain.
This made Li Yufei deeply regretful.
In his eyes, the Red Flame Fox had an even greater potential for reaching Foundation Establishment than any Ye Family Cultivator present.
Yet before his sinister gaze could lock onto another, a long tongue already ensnared him!
The venomous spikes on the tongue pierced through his Tier One Spirit Armor, injecting countless toxins into Li Yufei’s mind!
Another blood-red light descended, the Blood Eagle seized the Spirit Bat Shield, while the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger’s claws tore through him, turning Li Yufei to two halves in a flash of Golden Light!
The Ye Family also achieved a great victory.
Ye Jingcheng quickly turned to look at the Red Flame Fox.
The hind leg was almost hanging by a thread, with blood gushing from within.
Ye Jingcheng hurriedly brought out a Qi Blood Pill, Body Tempering Pill, and various Healing Elixirs!
He also used the Tier One Middle Grade Wood Healing Art; the Alchemist and the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture had equipped Ye Jingcheng with means to restore his Spirit Beast.
Of course, among these methods, he also deployed part of the Treasure Light!
He didn’t dare to release much, merely preventing the leg of the Red Flame Fox from being crippled, deciding to completely heal it when he was alone.
This time, the Red Flame Fox had been targeted due to its overly prominent performance.
Ye Jingcheng secretly warned himself to restrain from showing off, even within the family.
"Jingcheng, are you alright!" Ye Haiyi came over, taking out a Pill Bottle and handing it to Ye Jingcheng.
This Pill was familiar to Ye Jingcheng, as it was the same Healing Pill as the Tier Two Elixir Ye Xingliu had given him before.
Clearly, the family placed high importance on the Red Flame Fox.
Ye Jingcheng was also concerned for the Red Flame Fox and gave it the Elixir.
The fox cried softly, and Ye Jingcheng placed it into the Spirit Beast Bag after infusing it with more Treasure Light.
Once these tasks were completed, the family had already dismantled the Tier Two Array, clearing the battlefield thoroughly.
The Tier Two Array was set up with an Array Disc, requiring prearrangement and leaving an Array Guide, with a specific sequence needed for retraction.
"Jingcheng, the Lizard Lord wants you to provide feed!" Ye Haiyi was somewhat puzzled, but ultimately handed over several pills.
These pills were also familiar to Ye Jingcheng: Tier One Top-Grade Spirit Feeding Pill.
Ye Jingcheng knew the Pill Recipe for this Top-grade Spirit Feeding Pill, but unfortunately, his Alchemy Skill was not yet sufficient.
He fed the Lizard Lord the Spirit Feeding Pill, additionally infusing it with some Treasure Light.
The Lizard Lord squinted its eyes contentedly and disappeared in the next instance.
Apart from the disappearance of the Lizard Lord, the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger and the Blood Eagle were put into the Spirit Beast Bag by Ye Haiyi.
"Let’s go, to Li Mugu; as Tribulation Cultivators, we cannot abandon the resources in Li Mugu!" Ye Haiyi continued, heading towards Li Mugu!
Li Mugu had a Tier Two Array.
If the Li Family Cultivators held Li Mugu with a Tier Two Array, the Ye Family indeed would have no way to deal with it; after all, the difference between a Tier Two Array controlled by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and one without such a cultivator is vast.
One could only blame the Li Family’s greed.
"Everyone, put on the Spirit-Blocking Robe of the Li Family Cultivators, Li Mugu likely does not have a Soul Talisman, and even if they continuously use Spirit Talismans for transmission, there should be at least half an hour of time!"
Ye Haiyi spoke again.
He took out the Spirit-Blocking Robes he had stored earlier, although some robes were utterly destroyed, some were merely damaged!
But with a well-executed plan, it would at least not alert the Li Family Cultivators from afar!
