Chapter 122 Heavenly Demon Harp
Just as the main battlefield at Litian Cliff was engulfed in fierce fighting, with the three elders of Zhenwu Sect locked in a fierce battle against Qiu Xiaochi and his men.
Several figures were quietly sneaking into the relatively weak rear side of Litian Cliff, following a hidden path concealed by energy turbulence and the aftershocks of battle.
Li Jingyun took the lead, his white robes remaining spotless amidst the chaotic killing intent and various energy impacts, which only accentuated his upright posture and extraordinary presence.
His eyes were calm as still water, and his divine sense was exceptionally sharp, accurately capturing every slight fluctuation of the array.
His steps appeared leisurely, but in reality, each step landed on a node in the formation's operation or in a blind spot of detection, as if he knew the entire Litian Cliff like the back of his hand.
"Turn left, avoid that spirit pool, its aura has a bewitching effect."
"There are three points of reflection from the Soul-Separating Mirror in the corridor ahead. We need to use the Water Mirror Technique to simulate our passage through them."
Chu Tianyi, Mo Yuan, and the other five elite disciples of the Dao Academy followed closely behind, holding their breath and strictly following Li Jingyun's instructions.
They were like sharp blades in the shadows, silently piercing the depths of the Heavenly Palace.
Occasionally, when encountering patrol teams that cannot be avoided, he would move with lightning speed and close in instantly.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a wisp of sword energy flickered from his fingertips, like a sudden flash of cold stars, striking the brows or vital points of the disciples of the Heavenly Palace.
The disciples' eyes dimmed, and they collapsed to the ground.
Their cultivation and vitality were instantly annihilated by the sharp sword energy, cleanly and efficiently as if they had merely fallen into a deep sleep.
However, as a powerful force in the demonic path with a history of ten thousand years, the internal defenses of the Li Tian Palace would not be limited to this.
Just as they were passing through a crystal forest filled with the shimmering light and shadow of the Lihen Sha, a sudden change occurred!
The glass-like plants that refracted iridescent light suddenly shone brightly, and countless distorted rays of light intertwined to form a huge net that enveloped everyone.
The shifting light and shadow began to reflect the regrets and pains that everyone was most unwilling to touch deep within their hearts.
A powerful mental shock came, attempting to break their will and make them sink into their own inner demons and illusions.
"It's the Thousand Illusions Centrifugal Formation! Guard your mind!" a disciple skilled in formations shouted, his face turning pale instantly, clearly affected.
Li Jingyun merely snorted coldly, and a pure and vast sword intent instantly erupted around him, like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, instantly dispelling all illusions and delusion.
He didn't even use much spiritual power; it was just that pure and powerful sword intent that caused the distorted light and shadow around him to quickly dissipate, restoring the true path.
"A mere illusion, yet you dare to obstruct me? Break!"
He pointed his fingers like a sword, making a sweeping motion in the air. A clear, autumn-water-like sword intent flowed from his fingertips, instantly outlining a profound and complex sword seal.
Once the sword imprint was formed, it exuded a supreme artistic conception that cut through illusion and distinguished reality from illusion, and it lightly imprinted itself on the place where the light and shadow were most intense in front of us.
"Buzz!"
The entire glass forest trembled violently, all illusions shattered instantly, and the glass plants seemed to lose their spirit, their light dimming.
Li Jingyun forcefully crushed the illusionary array with his absolutely powerful swordsmanship!
Just when everyone thought they were about to break through this area, several incredibly powerful auras suddenly erupted from the passages leading to the main hall!
"How dare you! Who are you, you petty scoundrel, trespassing on this sacred ground!" A hoarse, angry shout boomed like thunder.
Three old men, leading a large number of elite disciples from the inner hall of the Li Tian Palace, swarmed out from different directions, instantly blocking the path of Li Jingyun and his group!
These three elders were surrounded by a murderous aura, clearly pillars of the Heavenly Palace, and their cultivation was at least comparable to that of the guardians outside.
Almost simultaneously, in the skies above the main battlefield, Qiu Xiaochi, who was fiercely fighting against Lie Xiushan, had a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"Let me show you the true power of my Heavenly Palace!" Qiu Xiaochi's furious voice echoed across the battlefield. "I'll show you what the Heavenly Melody of Separation and Hatred truly is!"
Qiu Xiaochi pressed his hands down in the air, and a simple, ancient seven-stringed zither with flowing light appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Heavenly Demon Harp!
The moment this zither was played, a sense of tragic grandeur and desolation instantly filled the air, even overpowering the shouts of battle on the battlefield.
Even the raging Lihen Sha seemed to become docile, converging on the zither as if paying homage to a king.
Qiu Xiaochi sat cross-legged, his ten fingers flying, and suddenly plucked the white strings of the zither!
"Clang!"
The first note of the zither rang out, and this sound disregarded distance and defense, directly affecting the depths of the souls of all living beings!
The Zhenwu Sect disciples, who were fiercely attacking the breach, felt a sharp pain in their hearts, as if they had lost the most important thing in their lives.
An indescribable sadness and despair welled up in his heart, his fighting spirit was instantly thwarted, inner demons arose, and even the circulation of his qi and blood stagnated!
Even the most fearless war beasts became sluggish and disordered in their movements!
The disciples of the Li Tian Palace, under the influence of this zither music, seemed to be injected with a powerful stimulant, their eyes growing increasingly frenzied, and their attacks instantly becoming several times more fierce!
The balance of power on the battlefield has begun to tilt in favor of the Heavenly Palace!
"The Song of Parting and Sorrow - The Heartbreaking Chapter!" Qiu Xiaochi's face was solemn as his fingertips slid rapidly across the strings.
Invisible sound waves, like ripples of death, spread towards the Zhenwu Sect's battle formation, accompanied by a poignant and sorrowful melody!
Wherever the sound waves passed, space distorted, blood and qi dissipated, and even the protective light shield of the Sky-Splitting Warship rippled violently!
Elders Lie Xiushan, Shen Yuan, and Wang Yuan's expressions changed simultaneously. They could sense the terrifying power of the music, which not only weakened their own forces but also stirred up their inner demons. If this continued, their battle formation would surely collapse!
"Join forces, use the Qi and Blood Smoke to resist the demonic sound!" Lie Xiushan roared, and the three elders activated the battle formation with all their might. The blazing Qi and Blood Smoke rose into the sky again, trying to dispel the all-pervasive sound of the zither. The two sides fell into another form of fierce confrontation.
Just as Qiu Xiaochi unleashed the Heavenly Demon Harp, its sound resounding across the battlefield, and the three elders led their men to surround Li Jingyun and his group.
The four powerful auras that were originally assisting in the defense on the main battlefield or fighting with the elders of the Zhenwu Sect paused almost simultaneously, and then abandoned their respective opponents without hesitation.
They transformed into four streaks of light and sped towards the interior of the Heavenly Palace, towards where Li Jingyun and the others were!
It was none other than the four guardians: Zi Li, Li Tiansheng, Xuan Gu, and You Hun!
They received orders to first eliminate the powerful enemy who had infiltrated from within!
Especially the Purple Glass Protector, when she sensed the powerful sword intent that had infiltrated, her heart skipped a beat, knowing that the newcomer was Li Jingyun.
Almost simultaneously, the four guardians passed through the corridors and halls and appeared in front of the three elders of the Heavenly Palace.
Their gazes instantly locked onto Li Jingyun and his group, who were surrounded in the center.
The expression behind the veil of the Purple Glass Protector was extremely solemn.
She had fought Li Jingyun at the Tian Shu Ruins and naturally knew his strength; he was no mere figurehead as one of the two prodigies of the Dao Academy.
She looked at the young man in jade robes, long sword, and standing with his hands behind his back, and her clear, cold voice rang out:
"Li Jingyun...it really is you."
Facing the sudden appearance of the four guardians and a large number of elites from the Li Tian Palace, Li Jingyun showed no panic on his face, but instead revealed a smile of interest.
His gaze swept over the four people, finally settling on Zi Li, his tone remaining calm:
"The arrival of the four guardians of the Heavenly Palace is quite a show of respect for me, Li."
"Perfect timing. The music outside is so noisy, but this place is quite peaceful. Let me, Li, experience the skills of the four of you."
Before he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the longsword Dragon's Roar at his waist.
The instant he gripped the sword, a supreme sword intent, sharp and soaring to the heavens, erupted with a thunderous roar!
