Chapter 1245: The Counterattack of the Protective Sect Array

Just as everyone had made up their minds and was discussing who should go to seek reinforcements.

A streak of blood-colored light flashed abruptly.

Immediately after, a figure manifested.

A cold voice rang out in its wake.

"Seeking reinforcements?"

"I think you had all better consider how to survive today first."

The expressions of the five people changed drastically.

"It's Xuan Ji!"

"She has pursued us here!"

"Quickly retreat into the Floating Cloud Sect!"

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder turned and fled toward the interior of the Floating Cloud Sect.

After entering the perimeter of the Floating Cloud Sect, Spiritual Power surged within him; he formed seals with both hands and rapidly struck streaks of Spirit Light into the void.

As the streaks of Spirit Light merged into the void.

Above the Floating Cloud Sect, a curtain of light rapidly manifested.

At the very instant the light curtain fully formed.

Su Junwu and the others arrived in close pursuit and entered the Array.

"Fellow Daoist friends, quickly assist me!"

No sooner had the four entered the Array than the urgent voice of the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder rang in their ears.

The four dared not delay and simultaneously converged their power onto the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder.

After receiving the power reinforcement from the four, the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder shifted his hand seals, and the radiance on the light curtain grew increasingly intense.

From beginning to end, Xuan Ji merely watched this scene indifferently.

She was in no hurry to strike.

Seeing that the Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array had fully formed, she then drifted leisurely to the outside of the Array.

Her gaze pierced through the light curtain, looking at the five figures flickering within, "Is this your reliance?"

"The power seems..."

"Not bad."

Inside the Array, the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder looked at Xuan Ji through the light curtain, his expression grave, "Xuan Ji, the strength you possess is indeed beyond expectation."

"But my Floating Cloud Sect is not famous for nothing; you cannot break my Floating Cloud Sect's Protective Sect Array."

"If you do not wish to make a fool of yourself, you had best retreat now."

Upon hearing this, a cold sneer appeared on Xuan Ji's face, "Whether it can be broken or not, one must try to know."

Having said this, she paused, "Today's matter was originally only between my Gentleman Alliance and the Xuanming Dao Sect."

"It has nothing to do with you other sects."

"I can give you a chance now: hand over Su Junwu, and I can choose not to pursue the matter of your other three sects interfering."

As soon as Xuan Ji's words fell, Su Junwu's expression changed instantly.

"Fellow Daoist friends, do not listen to this demoness's honeyed words; she only wants to divide us and defeat us one by one."

"Rest assured, Daoist Su, her little schemes cannot deceive us."

A look of wisdom flashed across the face of the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder.

The other three nodded one after another upon hearing this.

Hearing their conversation, Xuan Ji shook her head, "Since you insist on meddling, then do not blame me for being ruthless."

As the words fell.

A brilliant blood-colored light suddenly erupted from the blood-colored armored dress on her body.

Above her brow, a profound rune appeared, mysterious and eye-catching, like a star in the sky.

She extended her palm and pressed it against her own face.

A ferocious Asura Mask instantly covered her beautiful face, concealing her features.

She pointed a finger.

A sharp blood-colored long sword emerged, hovering before her, its tip pointing directly at the Floating Cloud Sect Array.

At the very moment the four Asura Magic Treasures appeared simultaneously.

The four Asura Magic Treasures produced a profound resonance.

In an instant, the aura exuded by the four Asura Magic Treasures climbed by more than double.

"Extinguish!"

Maintaining the posture of pointing at the Blood Sword, a cold voice was transmitted from beneath the Blood Asura Mask.

The next moment.

Endless blood-colored light surged into the Blood Sword.

*Whoosh~*

The Blood Sword transformed into a streak of rainbow light and tore through the air.

In the blink of an eye, it pierced the Array outside the Floating Cloud Sect.

*Boom~*

In an instant.

The Array, which was capable of withstanding a strike from a Great Vehicle Perfection cultivator, trembled violently.

Where the sword tip collided with the Array, a crack as thin as a strand of hair emerged.

Seeing this scene, the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder's pupils constricted.

Immediately after.

A cold sneer appeared on his face, "To be able to strike a crack in my Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array when it is activated to its limit, this shows that your attack power has truly reached the Great Vehicle Perfection level."

"However, it is a pity that you have, after all, only just barely crossed this threshold."

"My Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array is endless and inexhaustible; as long as it is not directly shattered, it can recover rapidly."

"Your power is useless against my Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array."

While the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder was speaking, the crack on the Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array beneath the Blood Sword recovered rapidly.

By the time his voice fell, that tiny crack had already completely vanished.

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder's mouth curled slightly, and looking through the light screen at Xuan Ji, a look of mockery appeared on his face, "Moreover... my Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array has more than just a defensive effect."

"As long as I wish, I can take the attack it receives and, after it is attacked, convert it into an attack of equal intensity and return it."

"Because of the condensation of the Array power, this attack's might even exceeds the enemy's original attack!"

"Are you..."

"Prepared to welcome the fury of my Floating Cloud Sect?"

As the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder's voice fell, on the Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array, thousands of streams of light surged across the light screen like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, they converged into one at the location that had been attacked, and then transformed into a beam of light, shooting out explosively.

Ding~

The Blood Sword shuddered and was knocked back under the impact of the beam of light.

The beam of light did not pause in the slightest, continuing to shoot toward Xuan Ji.

As if crossing space, it landed on Xuan Ji in an instant.

Boom~!

Dazzling Spirit Light instantly engulfed Xuan Ji.

"Success!"

Seeing this scene, a look of excitement appeared on Su Junwu's face.

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder's face wore a cold sneer, "This strike is enough to heavily injure a Great Vehicle Perfection Cultivator."

"Although this Xuan Ji's attack power is strong, comparable to a Great Vehicle Perfection Cultivator."

"I do not believe that her defensive power can also rival a Great Vehicle Perfection Cultivator."

"Under this strike, she will surely die!"

As the Floating Cloud Sect Sect Master's voice fell, the other three Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators also revealed looks of excitement.

Although the Gentleman Alliance has an astonishing background, it does not possess many top-tier powerhouses of its own.

If Xuan Ji dies.

Although they would not dare to take things to the extreme and completely annihilate the Gentleman Alliance.

But if the Gentleman Alliance loses Xuan Ji, this absolute combat force, it would become much easier for them to restrict the other party's development.

At that time.

Their several sects would all benefit from this.
