Chapter 585: Each Plays to Their Strengths

"You all must die here today!" a Netherworld Sect disciple shouted coldly.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, and he tightly gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand.

"Su Liyan, give me support!" he whispered to Su Liyan.

Su Liyan nodded, her hands trembling slightly, and she condensed a mass of cold air in the air.

The cold air turned into an ice arrow that shot toward the enemy.

Mo Di also transformed into a dragon form, launching into a fierce battle.

He darted through the enemy's encirclement like lightning, weaving back and forth through the forest, using his dragon wings and sharp dragon claws to inflict deadly blows on the enemy.

Lu Yuan, aided by the power of the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, dodged the enemy's attacks like lightning and swiftly counterattacked.

The thunderfire sword in his hand released dazzling lightning and roaring flames, encircling the enemy.

"Don't show mercy! Finish them all!"

Zi Xi'er saw the opportunity and shouted loudly.

Everyone cooperated tacitly, unleashing their strongest immortal arts and martial techniques.

They mercilessly struck each Netherworld Sect disciple, making the enemy feel the shadow of death. She revealed a brilliant yet cold smile, her hands trembling slightly as the cold jade ice shards moved, and one after another illusions appeared.

Seeing these illusions, the Netherworld Sect disciples were all stunned.

"What's going on?"

A follower muttered to himself, "How did these woods become a scene where truth and falsehood cannot be distinguished?"

Su Liyan seized the moment to unleash the power of her ice-system immortal arts.

She gathered the power of the cold jade ice shards, guiding forth a frost-snow storm that blanketed the entire Ghost Wailing Forest.

The freezing cold air solidified the atmosphere, and bitter snowflakes fell from the sky, instantly covering the forest.

The Netherworld Sect disciples were frozen stiff, unable to move their feet, and their assault gradually slowed.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately shouted loudly, "Zi Xi'er! Su Liyan!"

"Take the chance to finish them off!"

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan acted in tacit unison.

Zi Xi'er employed a marvelous technique, using her family's inherited concealment art to create layer upon layer of illusions in the Ghost Wailing Forest.

Those Netherworld Sect disciples were lost in endless illusions, unable to discern reality from falsehood.

They bumped and collided with trees, even attacking each other.

At the same time, Su Liyan gathered all the power of the cold jade ice shards, moving amidst the tumultuous wind and snow.

She skillfully dodged the enemy's attacks and punished the Netherworld Sect disciples with the storm's power.

Lightning intertwined, the storm raged, illusions and cold intertwined in the Ghost Wailing Forest, forming a picture of death.

Lu Yuan kept a close watch on the battlefield, deeply aware that he could not afford to be careless.

The strength of the Netherworld Sect should not be underestimated; changes could arise at any moment.

In the battle, Lu Yuan silently recited the immortal art that aided him, and swiftly set up the "Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation."

This was his own creation; under this formation, they could cooperate better in combat.

"Su Liyan, there are enemies to the left at three o'clock!"

Lu Yuan hurriedly reminded.

Upon hearing, Su Liyan immediately turned, swiftly manipulating the power of the cold jade ice shards to condense a huge ice wall on the left.

Those Netherworld Sect disciples trying to flank and attack were blocked by the ice wall.

Zi Xi'er also sensed a powerful energy fluctuation deep within the Ghost Wailing Forest.

"Lu Yuan!"

"Danger to the rear left!" Zi Xi'er anxiously transmitted.

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed; he immediately used his immortal art to perceive the location of the danger.

He quickly adjusted the formation, assigning Su Liyan to handle the enemies ahead while he rushed toward the rear left. Before his eyes appeared a huge black shadow, flapping its black giant wings, hovering in the air.

Mo Di transformed into a giant dragon, its ferocious aura sending chills down one's spine.

Mo Di let out a roar, its dragon breath—a intertwining of fire and lightning—burst forth, aimed straight at those Netherworld Sect disciples.

The flames scorched a patch of ground, and the lightning utterly wiped out the enemy.

Lu Yuan stood within the formation, waving the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand.

He guided the lightning power, forming in the air one after another sword qi thunderbolts that struck straight at the enemy's vital points.

The battle proceeded extraordinarily fiercely, lightning crisscrossed the sky, and flames blanketed the entire battlefield.

Whenever the thunderbolts struck down, they repelled countless Netherworld Sect disciples.

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan cooperated, keeping them trapped inside the Ghost Wailing Forest.

They continuously chanted spells to control their immortal arts, forming one after another flowing ice wheels on the ground.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed tightly; he felt this battle was far more difficult than he had imagined.

Mo Di continued as a giant dragon, howling through the air; the storm stirred by its dragon wings tore through the atmosphere.

From time to time, it exhaled a dragon breath of intertwining fire and lightning, bombarding the Netherworld Sect disciples.

Lu Yuan had no time to think; he focused entirely on guiding the lightning power.

A trace of mysterious power descended upon Lu Yuan, making him feel infinitely powerful.

He concentrated his spirit and waved the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, forming one after another sword qi thunderbolts that struck straight at the enemy's vital points.

After a heart-pounding battle, the Netherworld Sect disciples were ultimately defeated.

Only a few enemies who had dodged Mo Di's and Lu Yuan's attacks remained in the Ghost Wailing Forest.

"Go!"

Mo Di let out a dragon's roar, "Go tell your sect leader, Lu Yuan and I have already defeated you!"

Those Netherworld Sect disciples fled in terror from the Wailing Ghost Forest.

"Damn it!"

They fled swiftly, not daring to linger another moment.

Lu Yuan watched their retreating backs, gripping the Thunderfire Sword tightly in his hand.

"We won this battle."

Lu Yuan smiled and said to Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er.

Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief, their admiration for Lu Yuan's combat prowess growing ever stronger.

"Fortunately, fortunately you and Mo Di are here!"

"Otherwise we'd be in big trouble." Zi Xi'er sighed.

"Yeah, Lu Yuan, you're amazing!" Su Liyan also exclaimed in praise.

"We still have some matters to attend to."

Lu Yuan gazed at the Wailing Ghost Forest, "We need to leave this place as soon as possible." After this battle, Lu Yuan and the others didn't linger long before hastily leaving the Wailing Ghost Forest.

They arrived at a place called Azure Rosy Cloud City, a gathering site for cultivators.

Azure Rosy Cloud City is famed worldwide for its abundant resources and huge cultivator market, an ideal place for cultivators to exchange skills, purchase materials, and trade treasures.

After arriving at Azure Rosy Cloud City, they did not rush to search for resources everywhere or participate in the cultivator market's trading activities.

Because they knew that, after defeating the Netherworld Sect, there was still an important matter awaiting them.

Lu Yuan, feeling hopeful, found an alchemy master named Gu Lao Dan Shi.

According to reliable information, Gu Lao Dan Shi possessed a miraculous alchemy technique—the Stellar Transformation Technique.

It is said that this alchemy technique can transmute various rare materials from heaven and earth into spiritual medicines, and enhance one's internal breath cultivation.

Gu Lao Dan Shi was old and kind-hearted, with a long beard that swept the ground. (End of chapter)
