Chapter 54: 【Waiting for Opportunity, Helping with a Counter-Productive Result】 (First update, please follow)

Sun Xiao's three arrays were the 'Golden Flame Light-Splitting Array', the 'Mad Sand Flying Stone Array', and the 'Silver Light Ice Lock Array'.

The first array was for strong attacks, the second was for group attacks and weakening, and the third was for trapping and weakening the enemy.

With the three cooperating, Sun Xiao even dared to exchange moves with a Nascent Soul Ancestor within the array.

The two Golden Wind Immortal Sect cultivators trapped in the array were one at the fifth layer of the Golden Core realm and one at the third layer of the Golden Core realm; their cultivation was not very high, at the very least, they did not exceed Sun Xiao's.

The two were besieged by the array, and their strength was greatly reduced; it was normal that they were not Sun Xiao's opponents.

Lu Chengtong would certainly not be stupid enough to break into the array to deal with Sun Xiao. He did not know much about the array path and did not dare to rashly break into it.

His plan was to take the opportunity to attack, not to force a kill.

He only possessed Golden Core realm divine soul cultivation and was weaker than a real Golden Core Master in many aspects, so he absolutely could not take risks.

He continued to wait underground.

Anyway, within a range of ten zhang deep underground, he could ignore the ground pressure and rely on his supernatural power to stay inside.

Along the way, he could also take the opportunity to loot corpses.

People were constantly dying—Qi Refining realm, Foundation Establishment realm, and even Golden Core Masters.

As long as they had a storage bag, he would take it away.

This kind of low-end storage equipment could not be nested, so he could only find a large bag and put all these storage bags inside.

At the same time, he dug a hole specifically somewhere underground to store the bag.

He couldn't carry a large bag all the time anyway, and it wouldn't be lost; it wouldn't be too late to take it away after the dust settled.

Sun Xiao's strength was indeed very strong, but at the moment of life-and-death crisis, the trump cards of a Golden Core cultivator were also extremely powerful.

Lu Chengtong did not know what happened in the array, only hearing a loud noise, and immediately after, the array was broken. Of the two Golden Core cultivators of the Golden Wind Immortal Sect inside, one was left only as a corpse, and the other didn't even have a corpse left.

Sun Xiao was injured; that attack that caused such a huge noise caused his left shoulder to lose a large piece of flesh and blood.

Even, Lu Chengtong also discovered damage to his divine soul.

Suppressing the urge to make a move, now was not the best time.

Sun Xiao ate a pill, stabilized his aura, and then immediately met a Golden Core cultivator of the Golden Wind Immortal Sect.

The Golden Core Masters stationed outside the Golden Wind Immortal Sect returned to support the sect. Although only three returned, it still allowed the Golden Wind Immortal Sect to occupy an advantage in the number of Golden Core cultivators.

There were still a few people who did not come, including Zhao Yongcheng.

The reason for not coming was very simple: in such a dangerous situation, coming might mean death, so naturally, it was best to avoid it as much as possible.

Anyway, no matter which side won, they would not refuse the surrender of a Golden Core Master.

The cultivators who returned to support must have had attachments in the sect, such as clansmen or disciples, so they had to return.

Seven Golden Core Masters had already been killed. As long as he could loot the corpses, Lu Chengtong would not let them go, but if they were too close to where the Nascent Soul Ancestors were fighting, he would not go over, waiting for them to walk away before going to search for the inheritance.

Nascent Soul Ancestors had powerful divine sense; if he were too close, he was afraid he would be discovered before he could fish in troubled waters.

A casual strike from the other party could beat him into serious injury, or even cause him to die.

He absolutely could not act rashly.

Sun Xiao fought with others. Because the array was broken and most of the array flags were damaged, for a time, he only had enough to set up one set of arrays.

And this time his opponent did not enter the array at all, but just broke the array from the outside.

That person had the cultivation of the sixth layer of the Golden Core realm and was a talisman cultivator. He threw high-power talismans at the array as if they were free, and at the same time activated the two talisman treasures beside him, constantly releasing spell attacks.

A talisman treasure is a Dharma treasure refined from a talisman.

Ordinary talismans can only be used once, while talisman treasures can be repeatedly used as long as spirit power is injected, saving the casting time of casting spells oneself; as long as the spirit power is sufficient, one can release continuous attacks.

Of course, this thing cannot be used an infinite number of times; using it too many times will cause damage.

But generally speaking, using it a few hundred times is no problem.

Facing such powerful firepower suppression, Sun Xiao could only grit his teeth and block with all his might.

He also had talismans and Dharma treasures on his person, but how could he be willing to use them like this? It was not until the array was broken and he suffered a backlash that he took out his talismans to fight the enemy.

At this time, the talisman cultivator on the opposite side also consumed a lot, and the attack frequency decreased.

Sun Xiao felt this was a good opportunity and hurriedly activated his flying sword to slash toward that talisman cultivator.

The talisman cultivator also controlled his flying sword to meet the attack, and the two entangled together.

Before, the two fought with talismans and arrays, and the attack range was very large, and the surrounding ground was beaten into many pits, so Lu Chengtong was worried about being implicated, so he did not dare to approach.

But now that it was a flying sword battle, he could intervene.

It was just that these two kept flying in mid-air, and for a time it was difficult to find an opportunity.

Decades of silence gave Lu Chengtong enough patience, so he could continue to wait.

Suddenly, he saw a blood-colored silver light flash out from the darkness; this was also a flying sword, incomparably swift, and the angle of the stab was incomparably strange.

'Clang!'

The flying sword hit a gray tortoise shell and could not move forward.

Sun Xiao was terrified and hurriedly dodged, and the six tortoise shells circling around him also moved together.

This tortoise shell was his true life-saving Dharma treasure, named 'Six Ding Tortoise Shell Shield', usually attached to his chest, back, and limbs. Once there was danger, it would be passively activated to protect his life.

At this time, even this thing was activated; clearly, that move just now almost took his life.

That sword appeared too strangely.

There was actually another Golden Core cultivator dealing with him in the dark!

Lu Chengtong sensed something, looked inside the Treasure Mirror, and sure enough, sensed a Dao seed; this was Hou Zhao who had come.

Hou Zhao formed a core a year ago.

This speed of improvement was very abnormal; he must have used some method that consumed potential or damaged his foundation.

The two major sects were at war, so the Piaoxue Tower must have received the news at the first opportunity. Hou Zhao coming here to seek revenge was also within reason.

That talisman cultivator discovered that he had an extra helper, and regardless of what Hou Zhao's identity was, he seized the opportunity to launch a more violent attack on Sun Xiao.

Seeing this situation, Sun Xiao made a decisive decision and ran to the side of the Great Elder Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, a sword cultivator, and Chen Sanqing's master. He controlled three flying swords to form a Three Talents Sword Array, completely suppressing two Golden Wind Immortal Sect cultivators who were also in the late Golden Core realm.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chengtong couldn't help but sink his heart.

This was what he was worried about.

In an evenly matched battle, Sun Xiao fighting alone was when it was easy for him to make a move.

But in such a dangerous situation, Sun Xiao could rely on others to fight together, just like now, Sun Xiao and Xiao Yi stood together; within Xiao Yi's sword momentum, Lu Chengtong simply could not make a move.

Hou Zhao helped with a counter-productive result this time; he could only take it one step at a time and look for an opportunity later.

In any case, after this battle, Sun Xiao's strength would be greatly reduced; perhaps he could directly make a move on him!
