834. Chapter 832 Beast Siege

Zi Xi'er nodded, her eyes flashing with determination and trust.

The two cooperated tacitly, began weaving through the beast horde, slaying any beast that blocked their path.

In this melee, their tacit cooperation grew even more seamless, each movement like a seamless dance, leaving the surrounding beasts no opening to exploit.

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the air: "Lu Yuan, you're really brave, daring to run wild on my turf."

Zi Xi'er and Lu Yuan exchanged a glance, both knowing the voice belonged to Hong Lietian.

Hong Lietian is the sect leader of the Youhun Sect, renowned for his terrifying necromancy, and represents necromantic arts on the entire East Cloud Island.

"Hong Lietian, we're just here to carry out a mission; we have no grudge against you."

Zi Xi'er said calmly, she understood that a conflict with the Youhun Sect was not what they wanted.

Hong Lietian snorted coldly, his figure instantly appearing before them, a sinister aura sweeping over.

"Carrying out a mission?"

"Haha, do you know this area has long been annexed by my Youhun Sect? Are you here to throw away your lives?"

Hong Lietian said coldly, black necromantic energy coalescing in his hand.

Lu Yuan's heart tightened; he knew opposing Hong Lietian was unwise, but the situation before him was beyond remedy.

"Zi Xi'er, let's face this together."

Lu Yuan whispered to her, his eyes flashing with resolve.

Zi Xi'er nodded slightly, she knew that only unity now offered a sliver of hope.

A hint of a feral smile curled Hong Lietian's lips; his form flickered like a ghost as he lunged at Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er.

"Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, cleave!"

Lu Yuan swung his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, a searing flame arcing through space straight at Hong Lietian.

Zi Xi'er condensed ice immortal arts, releasing an ice shard to try to block Hong Lietian's attack.

Hong Lietian snorted coldly, necromantic power erupting, easily dispelling their attacks before launching a fierce counterstrike.

"This guy isn't just strong!"

Lu Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling the terrifying power emanating from Hong Lietian, forcing him to go all out.

Zi Xi'er also exerted her full ice immortal arts, trying to restrain Hong Lietian's movements to give Lu Yuan a chance to strike.

Lu Yuan sensed the chilling aura from Hong Lietian, inwardly staying alert.

He knew this battle would not be easy, while Zi Xi'er gripped her Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, her eyes flashing with resolve.

"Zi Xi'er, we must cooperate to have a chance to defeat him."

Lu Yuan whispered to her, his voice hinting at anxiety.

Zi Xi'er nodded, she knew that unity now was paramount.

She drew a deep breath, ice immortal arts flowing in her hands, chill spreading.

A flicker of contempt crossed Hong Lietian's eyes; he did not take Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er's cooperation seriously.

He stared at the two, coldly saying: "You little lovebirds are only fit to be sacrifices for my Youhun Sect."

"Impudent!"

Lu Yuan shouted angrily, his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword bursting with blinding light, flames blazing along the blade.

Seeing this, Zi Xi'er waved her Ice Crystal Long Whip, scattering frost.

Working together, they turned into a storm of ice and fire, sweeping toward Hong Lietian.

Hong Lietian snorted coldly, black necromantic energy condensing in his hand into a pitch-black necrotic blade.

He showed no fear, charging into the intertwined thunder and fire assault.

"Ice and fire fusion, break!"

Lu Yuan shouted angrily, his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tracing a blade of flame that merged with Zi Xi'er's frost assault, instantly exploding and slashing at Hong Lietian.

Hong Lietian snorted coldly, as he swung the necrotic blade it turned into a black whirlwind, devouring the ice-and-fire attack entirely.

"Looks like you're still not strong enough."

Hong Lietian taunted, his form flickering like a phantom as he launched another fierce assault.

Zi Xi'er frowned slightly, sensing the dire situation, she decided to unleash the Ziyun Clan's inherited secret art—the Cold Jade Ice Shards.

The Cold Jade Ice Shards are the Ziyun Clan's inherited treasure, capable of greatly boosting Zi Xi'er's ice immortal arts power.

She gave a soft chant, a pair of Cold Jade Ice Shards swirling in her hands, emitting a chilling azure glow.

"Ice Seal Nine Heavens!"

Zi Xi'er cried out, the Cold Jade Ice Shards bursting with blinding light, turning into sky-filling frost that condensed into ice blocks, descending upon Hong Lietian.

Hong Lietian's eyes flashed with surprise; he hadn't expected Zi Xi'er to possess such a powerful trump card.

He dared not be careless, necromantic energy surging wildly to form a black shield, trying to resist the ice seal.

Lu Yuan saw this, knowing it was the best moment to strike.

He roared, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword erupting with greater lightning power, tearing through the sky straight at Hong Lietian's opening.

Hong Lietian felt the powerful assaults from different directions, hesitated a moment, but ultimately chose to block Zi Xi'er's ice seal, exposing an opening in that instant.

"Deadly Thunderfire!"

Lu Yuan bellowed, his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword thrusting at Hong Lietian's vital point, lightning and fire intertwining, instantly erupting with terrifying destructive force.

Hong Lietian stared in horror at the incoming sword light, finally realizing he had underestimated his strength.

Lu Yuan led his team on patrol in the mountains when a sudden beast ambush plunged them into fierce combat.

Though they were tense and anxious in peril, Lu Yuan remained calm and decisive, swinging his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword; each strike carried destructive power, felling beasts beneath his blade.

"Lu Yuan, be careful!"

Su Liyan gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, continuously unleashing ice-element immortal arts in battle to provide support for Lu Yuan.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you all!"

Lu Yuan's voice carried firmness and confidence, his eyes flashing with decisiveness and resolution.

In repeated fierce battles, Lu Yuan displayed strength beyond the ordinary, leaving every member of the team shocked and admiring.

Even when encountering powerful demonic beasts, he could quickly find a way to deal with them, resolving crises with the power of thunder and fire and superb immortal arts.

Feng Tianfeng observed from the side, secretly jealous in his heart.

He originally thought he could find an opportunity to disturb Lu Yuan, but discovered the opponent's strength far exceeded his imagination, leaving him unable to act.

Although he felt unwilling, he nonetheless had to admit that Lu Yuan was indeed an outstanding cultivator.

As the battle continued, the team gradually suppressed the demonic beasts' offensive, their coordination becoming ever more seamless, each person exerting their full ability to jointly repel the beasts' siege.

Suddenly, a loud demonic beast's howl echoed through the valley, a huge demonic beast burst forth from the forest, exuding a ferocious aura that made one tremble at the sight. (End of chapter)
