"Could it really be a ghost? No, even if it were a ghost, it would have been scattered by Lightning Release."
Li Chuan, the original body hidden within the Shadow Clones, saw that various Ninjutsu had no effect and thought to himself.
Seeing that they couldn't distinguish Li Chuan's original body, the nine enchanting women simply pounced on all the Shadow Clones, intending to not let a single one go and conquer them all.
Facing the nine enchanting women, Li Chuan, his original body, and the Shadow Clones dodged.
However, the nine enchanting women were light and extremely fast, and the surrounding space was locked by the grand formation, making it impossible to leave. Soon, some Shadow Clones were caught and entangled.
All the Shadow Clones entangled by the enchanting women did not dissipate like they would from a normal attack. Instead, they stood frozen on the spot with looks of enjoyment.
Then, those enchanting women immediately pounced on the next Shadow Clone.
While secretly activating the Eight Gates to increase his speed and evade the repeated pounces of the enchanting women, Li Chuan collected and analyzed information about them.
Soon, he had a solution in mind.
"They have no physical bodies, only souls, and they are using mental attacks. Then let's try the Killing Curse!"
Li Chuan quietly took out the elder wand and aimed it at an enchanting woman pouncing towards him:
"Avada Kedavra!"
A green light directly hit the enchanting woman, who did not dodge any attacks.
"Ah!"
This time, the green light did not pass through the woman like the previous Ninjutsu. Instead, it hit her body like a normal attack.
The woman no longer acted as if she didn't care. Instead, she let out a painful scream, and her body dimmed considerably.
"It seems to work."
Li Chuan's eyes lit up. He immediately took out more than ten wands and distributed them to the Shadow Clones that had not been frozen. Instantly, green light filled the grand formation, and Killing Curses struck the enchanting women one after another.
"How is this possible? My heavenly demons!"
The Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect outside the formation, seeing his nine heavenly demons being hit by the green magic and their figures gradually dimming, was greatly alarmed. He quickly formed hand seals to make them retreat into the Zǐ flags for nurturing.
He had spent a hundred years refining these heavenly demons; they couldn't be broken by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like this.
He just didn't expect that a righteous path cultivator would actually know such a magic that was clearly similar to the Demonic Path, and one that specifically targeted the Yuanshen (Primordial Spirit/Soul).
As the nine heavenly demons retreated, the frozen Shadow Clones returned to normal. Li Chuan immediately took out more wands and distributed them to the Shadow Clones.
At this moment, the voice of the Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect came from the air again.
"Xuan Yin Divine Fiend!"
Immediately, malevolent energy surged within the formation, transforming into various demons that attacked Li Chuan and his Shadow Clones.
The power of this malevolent energy was clearly much stronger than the malevolent energy released by the short man before. Once it got close to a person, it could corrode flesh and blood clean in no time.
Li Chuan did not dare to be careless. He led all the Shadow Clones to raise their wands and cast the Fiendfyre.
Blue Fiendfyre dragons rose up, biting at the demons transformed from the Xuan Yin Divine Fiend. For a moment, they were evenly matched.
Meanwhile, not far from where the two were fighting.
Seven cultivators of varying ages, dressed in a free and easy manner, were flying on their swords.
One female cultivator, who looked only eighteen or nineteen, stepped on her golden flying sword that resembled a snake and asked the leading middle-aged bearded cultivator:
"Senior Brother Chu, this time the Lotus Fairy of Drunken Immortal Cliff invited us Yun Zhong Seven to subdue a demon. Did she say she would give each of us a Spirit Enhancement Pill as a thank you gift?"
"That's right, the Lotus Fairy said so in her flying sword letter."
The bearded cultivator smiled and nodded.
The young female cultivator immediately beamed with joy.
"One Spirit Enhancement Pill can be equivalent to fifty years of arduous cultivation. If we can consume it, we will have a chance to form a Nascent Soul and catch up to Senior Brother Duan Lei!"
"Shimei Shangguan, do not be careless. According to the Lotus Fairy's letter, that Nine-Headed Serpent is already in the Nascent Soul Realm. Its physical body is incredibly strong, and its nine heads each have divine abilities. It will not be so easy to deal with."
A middle-aged beautiful female cultivator among the seven heard this and advised.
Before the young female cultivator could reply, a male cultivator stepping on a wide-bladed giant sword spoke first:
"Senior Sister Qin, no need to worry. We seven are all at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, and we cultivate the most powerful flying sword techniques. With the seven of us joining forces, even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is no match for us. Besides, the Lotus Fairy is also in the Nascent Soul Realm."
The male cultivator was very confident, but he also had the capital to be confident.
Emei Sword Cultivators themselves were the strongest existence among cultivators of the same level. As the backbone of the Emei Sect, their Yun Zhong Seven had even joined forces to kill a Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator when they were in the mid Core Formation stage.
The name Yun Zhong Seven of Mount Emei also became famous throughout the cultivation world at that time.
"Junior Brother Dong is right, but Senior Sister Qin also has a point. Although the Lotus Fairy is a rogue immortal in the Nascent Soul Realm like Senior Brother Duan, she is not good at fighting and is only focused on alchemy.
At that time, she probably won't be able to help much."
At this point, a graceful middle-aged male cultivator among them said with a smile.
"Everyone be careful, such strong malevolent energy!"
While the few were laughing and discussing subduing the Nine-Headed Serpent, a strong man who was stepping on a flying chain giant blade and had been silent suddenly spoke up, as if he had sensed something.
Everyone immediately became vigilant and amplified their senses.
Soon, they discovered the Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect and his disciple not far away, as well as the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation below.
"It's Nan Tong of the Xuan Yin Sect!"
The male cultivator stepping on black and white Yin Yang twin swords' eyes narrowed, and he quickly recognized the other party's identity.
The leading bearded sword cultivator's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he roared:
"There are demonic path cultivators doing evil! Junior Brothers and Shimei, follow me to subdue the demons!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
The six people responded in unison, forming hand seals and merging with their swords, instantly transforming into streaks of light flying towards the Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect.
On the other side, Nan Tong, who was controlling the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation, was furiously and continuously urging the Xuan Yin Divine Fiend, wanting to extinguish Li Chuan's Fiendfyre and refine him alive.
Suddenly sensing the seven streaks of light flying from a distance, he was greatly alarmed:
"Not good, it's the Yun Zhong Seven of the Emei Sect!"
The Yun Zhong Seven of Emei. If he encountered them alone, he felt that he could fight them using the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation.
But now the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation was being held back by the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator below, and even the nine most powerful heavenly demons had been seriously injured and returned to the flags. Meeting the Yun Zhong Seven now, he definitely couldn't win.
"Go!"
So he immediately sacrificed the somewhat damaged eight demonic soldiers to go and block the Yun Zhong Seven first, intending to put away the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation and escape.
However, just at this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation below. Because the force was too strong, the entire Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation began to shake and become unstable.
Immediately after, a giant White Tiger phantom actually directly broke through the blockade of the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation and swallowed him in one gulp.
