BXBX NOVEL Chapter 764: Retreat
“How…”
The expression of the hawk-nosed man changed drastically.
Before he could act, his Dharma Form in the sky dissipated into countless light spots, just like the brown-haired man’s Dharma Form had.
While losing a Dharma Form doesn’t result in the fall of a Void Returning cultivator, the Dharma Form represents the manifestation of the Primordial Spirit.
Without it, it’s akin to losing an arm, significantly reducing both strength and combat capabilities.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Suddenly, a series of bell sounds that existed only at the level of the Primordial Spirit rang in the ears of both the brown-haired and the hawk-nosed men.
Initially, they didn’t feel much, but as the bell sounds intensified, their gazes gradually became glazed.
To outsiders, they appeared to have suddenly frozen in place.
They were motionless.
They failed to awaken from the bell’s illusion even as Jiang Chengxuan’s attack approached.
Pff! Pff!
Brilliant slashes of light swept across, and the bodies of the brown-haired and hawk-nosed men were shredded into nothingness.
Two Void Returning Divine Lords fell, drawing the immediate attention of everyone present.
A Void Returning Divine Lord was the backbone in any sect or family, and the sudden fall of two such individuals caused Gussa, who was battling Wen Tao, a great deal of distress.
His gaze swiftly turned towards Jiang Chengxuan, his face showing intense killing intent.
“You shall die!”
As he spoke, several weapons in the hands of his three-headed, six-armed Dharma Form transformed into rainbow lights, launching an attack on Jiang Chengxuan.
However, he seemed to forget that Jiang Chengxuan was within the protective array of Heavenly Edge Immortal City.
With the array still intact, it was nearly impossible for Gussa to harm, let alone threaten Jiang Chengxuan’s life.
There were two booms.
Jiang Chengxuan simply utilized a small portion of the array’s power to block Gussa’s attack.
This only fueled Gussa’s rage further.
Yet, his current opponent wasn’t Jiang Chengxuan but Wen Tao, who was on the same stage as him.
With the enemy also bolstered by the great array, Gussa had no chance of directing his focus towards Jiang Chengxuan.
Instead, after Jiang Chengxuan had dealt with the two deepsea nomad cultivators, he moved directly to the area Hong Mei was responsible for.
At that time, Hong Mei, with the help of the array’s power, was entangled with two demons at the Dharma Form stage.
It seemed that Hong Mei was also managing well on her end.
However, with Jiang Chengxuan choosing to join her, his goal was naturally not just to defend.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Just like before, the bell sounds that existed only at the Primordial Spirit level suddenly rang in the ears of the two demon cultivators.
The two demon cultivators clearly knew what had happened to their companions.
Therefore, this time, they were much more vigilant.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chengxuan’s Illusionary Heaven Bell’s effects were inescapable.
Even though they were on high alert, they were still influenced by this Primordial Spirit attack method.
The difference was that they were not completely enchanted by the Illusionary Heaven Bell like the deepsea nomad cultivators were before.
Still, being so significantly distracted during combat against an opponent of the same stage immediately put them at a disadvantage.
Hong Mei seized this opportunity.
Suddenly, huge red ribbons appeared between heaven and earth.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
In just a moment, they pierced through the defenses of the two demon cultivators, wrapping around their colossal bodies.
At the same time.
Terrifying sword qi rippled in the void.
This was the power of the Heavenly Edge Immortal City’s Taiji Sword Array.
Accompanied by piercing howls, the Dharma Form of the two demon cultivators were punctured by the endless sword qi like paper, dissipating into countless points of light.
“Arghhhh!”
At the same time.
The two demon cultivators screamed in agony.
Their bodies were covered in blood and torn apart by an overwhelmingly strong force.
The sea surface churned violently as two massive figures recondensed their forms.
They looked towards Heavenly Edge Immortal City, their eyes filled with fear.
They had narrowly avoided being completely annihilated like the two deepsea nomad cultivators.
If not for using their life-saving items at the critical moment, they might not have survived the attack.
However, this meant they would no longer have their life-saving items for their once-in-tens-of-thousands-years tribulation.
“Alas, what a pity.”
Hong Mei sighed regretfully.
She knew how crucial life-saving items, like those used for averting tribulations, were for cultivators.
They could be used not just to withstand heavenly tribulations but also to save one’s life in dire situations.
If the two demon cultivators didn’t have any tribulation-averting items on them, it would be very difficult for them to escape this attack.
Thinking of this, Hong Mei couldn’t help but turn to look at Jiang Chengxuan and smile.
“Junior Brother Jiang, thank you so much for what you did just now.
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat them so quickly.”
“Senior Sister Hong Mei, there is no need for thanks.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and shook his head.
“The reason why I was able to repel them was because you were strong enough.
By the way…”
At this point, Jiang Chengxuan seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but look in Wen Tao’s direction.
“Senior Sister Hong Mei, you and I have already defeated our opponents. Why don’t we work together with Senior Brother Wen Tao to deal with the two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators?”
“Ok.”
Hong Mei had no objections to Jiang Chengxuan’s suggestion.
The two of them headed towards Wen Tao’s direction.
As for Wen Tao, because of the array, he still had the upper hand against the two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators, Black Dragon Warlock and Gussa.
Jiang Chengxuan and Hongmei couldn’t help but look at each other.
In the next moment, the two of them controlled the power of the array to assist Wen Tao.
In an instant, Wen Tao’s attack became even more powerful.
This made the Black Dragon Warlock and Gussa’s expressions turn even uglier.
At this moment.
They already knew that it was already impossible for them to occupy this Heavenly Edge Immortal City.
At that moment, they couldn’t help but glare at Wen Tao, Jiang Chengxuan, and the others before ordering everyone to retreat.
