Chapter 1381: Seizure
As soon as the figure appeared, they found themselves unable to move the next moment.
It turned out that the Array Jade Plates Yang Yan refined a few days ago happened to be useful at this moment.
The person only had thoughts of ambush earlier and didn’t even notice that Yang Yan had already implanted the array trap beforehand, thus crashing into it, unable to break free.
With a flash, Yang Yan swiftly carried away the meditating Jian Mingyin from the ground.
All of this happened so quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.
But in the next moment, an attack landed right where Jian Mingyin had been sitting.
Swish!
Yang Yan tossed out a second jade plate; however, the opponent’s Sword Aura merely paused for a moment before breaching the array, heading straight for his face.
With a solemn gaze, Yang Yan threw out a third jade plate.
Surprisingly, the attacker was an Elder from the Feather Spirit Sect.
This person had a very low presence earlier, but Yang Yan, blessed with a photographic memory, recognized him at a glance despite only having glimpsed him during the test that day.
Ling Chongzi, who was originally in closed-door cultivation, had already emerged by this time, and upon seeing the scene before him, he was also astounded.
Although he had long anticipated that there must be those with malicious intentions within the sect, he never imagined that for the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill, someone would truly shed their disguise and make a move at this time and place.
With a cold snort, Ling Chongzi was about to strike when an array was suddenly activated, blocking the majority of people outside.
Ling Chongzi, along with the subsequently arrived Yu Wuxing and Yun Yazi, were also trapped within.
Yu Wuxing, the most hot-tempered among them, punched out, but unfortunately, the array burst forth with Mystical Technique, remaining completely undisturbed.
"Elder Li, are you truly disregarding everything?" Ling Chongzi asked in a stern voice.
Elder Li, pursuing Yang Yan, grunted without answering, but his speed increased a few notches, the sword light surrounding him almost touching Yang Yan.
Yang Yan held Jian Mingyin, who was immersed in the realm of forgetting both self and surroundings—a state where any disturbance could lead to demonic deviation and damage the Dao Foundation.
With no other option, Yang Yan had to exhaust Wish Power, frequently using Instant Teleportation to escape the pursuit of the sword light at critical moments.
However, over time, the opponent seemed to gradually understand Yang Yan’s escape pattern, making the sword light whistle dangerously.
Outside the array, everyone was anxiously trying to break through, but even with Ling Chongzi joining, they couldn’t breach it quickly.
Elder Li had clearly come prepared, and this array was indeed the Profound Celestial Primordial Array, transformed from an Ancient Array.
Moreover, Elder Li wasn’t fighting alone; although he was the only one inside dealing with Yang Yan, a group of black-robed men was burning their cultivation to support the array.
Obviously, they had no intention of leaving alive, only to buy Elder Li some time.
Feeling the sword Qi crisscrossing behind him and occasionally having whirlwind gales tear his clothes, Yang Yan knew that continuing to dodge passively was not a solution.
Once Wish Power was depleted continuously, at most, his Half-Step Transformation Realm cultivation would allow him to fight opponent evenly.
Moreover, he had to protect the Jian Mingyin in his arms, which would certainly bind his hands.
Yang Yan performed two consecutive Instant Teleports, suddenly appearing on Elder Li’s right side and launched a fierce punch.
Elder Li’s aura had barely stepped into the late period of Divinity Transformation, and although Yang Yan’s punch hit him, he managed to dodge the vital points in time.
Yang Yan’s eyes were sharp as he flipped his palm, revealing a jade plate emanating a colorful glow, with surging Spiritual Power ripples instantly spreading.
"Immortal Trapping Array!"
Yang Yan gently murmured three words, and his left hand suddenly slapped forward, spreading colorful light.
Boom—
A tremendous roar reverberated, and the entire world seemed to shake violently.
The black-robed men, strained from burning their cultivation over time, were already severely injured, and now suddenly illuminated by the colorful light, vomited blood one after the other, causing the Profound Celestial Primordial Array to waver.
At this moment, Elder Li disregarded other matters, shock flooding his face, merging man and sword in an attempt to escape the colorful light’s edge.
Unfortunately, Yang Yan would not let him have his way.
Along with the explosion of the left hand’s array, the right fist, infused with intense Blood Qi, struck once again.
At this moment, it was like an apocalyptic scene, the previously reinforced cave abode suddenly shattering, the ground collapsing.
But Elder Li bore the brunt, only spitting thick blood, as black mist surged around his body, blocking Yang Yan’s attack.
The colorful light of the Immortal Trapping Array was actually swallowed by the black mist.
Yang Yan certainly knew this power, only not expecting Elder Li to conceal it so well, having already fallen into Demon Dao and cultivated formidable Evil Technique.
With a sinister look, Elder Li suddenly shouted, tossing his Magical Treasure flying swords like they’re worthless, crazily smashing them towards Yang Yan.
All the attacks aimed directly at vital points, faster than lightning.
Seeing the attack about to strike, Yang Yan’s expression remained unchanged.
As Elder Li’s flying sword Magical Treasures approached, Yang Yan simultaneously used Instant Teleportation and let the Space Blade whistle forth.
A flash of light, and the terrifying combined attack of flying sword Magical Treasures dissipated.
Elder Li’s eyes flashed a trace of surprise, followed by an angry roar, his gaze turning even more sinister.
Suddenly, he unexpectedly pulled off his right arm, with blood gushing, black Demonic Qi swirled madly, coalescing into a spear over two meters long.
Swish—
With a lift of the hand, the spear seemed to vanish into thin air, reappearing almost instantly.
"Hmph! An evil demon is still an evil demon, finally can’t restrain yourself?"
Yang Yan’s gaze flickered as he silently urged the Gravity Law, causing the spear wrapped in Demonic Qi to plunge downward just before piercing him, embedding into the ground.
A second later, an explosion erupted behind him, scattering dust and rocks.
Caught off guard, several black-robed men instantly lost six or seven members.
Immediately, the Profound Celestial Primordial Array shook intensely, teetering.
Yet these black-robed men were resolute in their deadly conviction, immediately increasing power output, stabilizing the array once more.
Yang Yan paid them no mind, gazing steadily at Elder Li: "Why standing there stunned? Why not quickly pull off your right hand too? Almost forgot, without your left, it’s challenging, want me to help?"
Provoked by this, Elder Li’s already pain-twisted face became more hideous.
Yang Yan didn’t wait for him to act first, swinging his right fist once more, targeting Elder Li’s face.
The fist force arrived, Elder Li’s expression suddenly changed, and a black-glowing sword appeared in his hand, cleaving Yang Yan’s Fist Force apart.
Behind him, there were immediately two cries of agony, with two more black-robed men perishing in the Yellow Springs.
