Chapter 2815

They had no contingency plan for dealing with this great celestial demon. In their haste, what could they do?

He Lingchuan glanced again at the Secret Realm scene above, his heart burning with anxiety.

He did not rush to attack, because against an enemy like Pili Tian, physical slashing was nearly useless—

Most combat techniques and arts fundamentally relate to space. In Pili Tian's comfort zone, He Lingchuan wanted to slash and wound this god of space—how much effort would that take?

Unless... He Lingchuan's mind sparked with an idea.

Trap Him!

But trapping the god of space is no easy task. At the very least, you cannot simply trap him within space.

Even He Lingchuan, usually calm and composed, could not help feeling a touch of irritation now.

Actually, the dark heavenly canopy should have been saved for Pili Tian. If he had known Pili Tian would descend to the mortal realm... alas, defeating Bai Zhan Tian had drained too much primordial force, making it hard to reactivate the dark heavenly canopy in a short time.

This thought unfinished, a blue light flashed before his eyes. He Lingchuan startled, sliding his step to dodge.

However, the blue blade mark left by Pili Tian did not vanish, but instead resembled a solidified lightning bolt, remaining in place. He Lingchuan had not yet found his footing when a breeze stirred behind his neck, and simultaneously, a warning stirred in his heart.

This is not reality, otherwise the blood demon transformed into a cloak would have engaged, filling He Lingchuan's rear blind spot.

Fortunately, the crouching beast on the Yinglong battle armor also possessed the ability to save its master, and it lunged backward immediately.

He Lingchuan himself employed the "Following Shadow" divine ability, and his person also flashed to a distance of ten zhang.

When he glanced back, he saw Pili Tian gripping the serrated sword, slashing toward the lunging crouching beast.

This strike was ordinary and unremarkable—neither earth-shattering nor seemingly imbued with any divine light.

Yet the crouching beast split apart.

It was severed by a diagonal line into two halves, from left ear to right cheek, then to right foreleg, as precise as drawing a line.

He Lingchuan had seen people eat preserved eggs at home without a knife, instead using a thread to cut them into small pieces, the cut cleaner and flatter than a blade.

Now, the cross-section of the crouching beast was just like that.

This is Pili Tian's famed technique—Severing Art.

As the god of space, he can use the serrated sword in his hand to switch and divide space, just as a person uses a thread to cut a preserved egg.

After the crouching beast fell to the ground, it returned to He Lingchuan's shoulder in only a few breaths. Meanwhile, the Panlong cultivators and generals also arrived, attacking Pili Tian and promptly relieving much of He Lingchuan's pressure.

With many comrades rushing forward to besiege Pili Tian, He Lingchuan finally had the chance to produce spiritual medicine, feeding himself a few pills, and hurriedly circulating his qi to heal his wounds. He had only moved twice just now, and his wound grew more painful.

For an ordinary person, one second would be enough to make them faint from pain.

Worst of all, the annihilating force left by Bai Zhan Tian still wreaked havoc in his wound, more stubborn than psoriasis. This also caused the spiritual medicine he applied to be ineffective, his wound nearly unable to heal itself.

If he does not quickly expel this thing, in He Lingchuan's upcoming battles, it will act like a time bomb, colluding with external enemies.

While he clung to the precious opportunity to circulate his qi and heal his wounds, he also watched the Panlong masters battling Pili Tian.

At this moment, the Between Between Between Beijia army beneath the Ming Sha Lin fortress walls had lost the will to fight, retreating en masse. The Panlong army surged forward like a tide, filling the void they left behind and, taking advantage, encircling Pili Tian and the other Between Between Between Beijia immortals and demons.

Thus, it is now Pili Tian and the Between Between Between Beijia immortals' turn to be deeply trapped behind enemy lines.

In the eyes of ordinary people, clashes between masters are naturally dazzling. Pili Tian alone faced five strong enemies, yet remained calm and unhurried. His evasion differed from ordinary people's—he needed no posture, no leg movement, directly teleporting and dodging.

He Lingchuan had noticed earlier that after Pili Tian slew the crouching beast, he similarly left a blue, lightning-like light trace in midair, occasionally flashing with a faint glow.

The more he observed, the more he felt something was wrong.

Though surrounded, Pili Tian's counterattacks seemed absentminded—if he missed his opponent, so be it, the next second he would shift away, never lingering in battle.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the blue light traces on this battlefield increased, at least twenty or thirty. They hung suspended in midair, flashing with a faint blue light.

Upon closer inspection, each light trace had a different shape and direction.

At this moment, everyone's ears suddenly rang with Zhong Shengguang's urgent shout: "Run! Leave immediately!"

"That's a formation—he is setting it up, intending to trap you all inside!"

Zhong Shengguang used the Water Moon Mirror to observe the whole scene. From a high vantage point, those dozens of blue light traces were staggered and arranged, as if following some sequence. Although unlike conventional formation layouts, Zhong Shengguang still sensed the scent of conspiracy.

A trap? Everyone startled, then retreated toward the city below.

"Only just realized?" Facing Pili Tian, the corner of his mouth twitched into a cold smile.

Too late.

He Lingchuan retreated hastily, when suddenly a strange sound came coldly to his ear:

"... Emperor."

Very familiar, but absolutely should not appear at this moment.

He Lingchuan silently thought it was bad, for this was Liu Qingdao's voice:

"Emperor, Mingke Immortal's urgent message: Panlong Secret Realm encountered strong enemy intrusion, Ge Mother lost contact!"

Liu Qingdao truly wasted not a single word—the sound transmitted from reality, like striking He Lingchuan's eardrum with thunder, shaking his heart with lingering echoes, especially the last four characters.

Ge Mother lost contact!

No wonder Jia Lou Tian and other celestial demons could successfully invade the Ge Mother Plains—originally, the guardians were absent from their posts.

Ge Mother is an extremely powerful and special existence, and also the core power of the Ge Mother Plains.

Once she loses contact or is controlled, it equates to the Ge Mother Plains' defensive capability being reduced by sixty or seventy percent!

And He Lingchuan knows the defensive standard of the Ge Mother Plains all too well. The enemy's successful invasion shows they came prepared, even calculating Ge Mother's floating position.

Their target must be the Panlong Secret Realm.

Now that Ge Mother and Jiuyou Dadi are both absent, unable to oversee the Secret Realm, the Panlong Secret Realm is in danger!

He Lingchuan's heart tightened, and the surrounding scenery suddenly blurred.

Oh no! He was about to be awakened, yet he had not yet had time to make proper arrangements for the aftermath of this war, and Pili Tian was still active on this battlefield.

The last image He Lingchuan saw was the surrounding blue light flaring brightly!

Zhong Shengguang's judgment was correct—Pili Tian had indeed been setting up a formation while fighting, and now it suddenly activated.

In the next instant, his vision went dark.

……

Beneath the walls of the Mingsha Forest stockade, dozens of blue lights flashed.

Wen Daolun stared fixedly at the Water Moon Mirror, then suddenly grabbed its frame.

"What's going on? Where are they?" His voice was sharp enough to crack, "Could it be... could it be they were all killed by Pili Tian?"

The mirror showed that many masters and war generals of the Panlong Army, including the Tiger Wing General, had all vanished in an instant!
