Chapter 103 Battle of Rotten Peach Peak 7
When the smoke and dust cleared, several cultivators from the thirteen families called out loudly for the pockmarked Foundation Establishment cultivator, but there was no response.
Conversely, the spider silk beneath their feet, which had temporarily ceased its activity, began to stir again. As yet another cultivator was hoisted from the tree by several strands of silk, the thirteen cultivators completely collapsed. Someone shouted, "Run!"
Everyone began to flee desperately down the mountain. People were throwing smoke talismans everywhere, and the smoke filled the air, making the already dark Rotten Peach Peak even more invisible.
The thirteen cultivators leaped through the air and swooped down the mountain; some ran wildly, disregarding their fellow disciples; some tumbled and rolled, fleeing in panic...
The few who were left behind were pitifully caught by spider silk, bound by entanglement vines, or frozen by freezing techniques. They were immediately surrounded and killed, resulting in the loss of four or five more people.
Standing a hundred feet in the air, Xu Xiaolin watched in disbelief as all this unfolded.
In the three years since I arrived in Aolai, similar scenes have actually happened many times, but in each previous instance, it was the opponents who fled in panic.
Is it finally my turn to lose?
Do not!
Xu Xiaolin gritted his teeth. He couldn't accept it—from childhood to adulthood, he had always been the winner.
So he urged the Silver Leaf Swallow to descend several dozen feet, threw down several second-tier fire talismans, which exploded into a sea of fire beneath Rotten Peach Peak, cutting off the pursuit from Wujia Ridge. He shouted, "What a fucking disgrace! Hurry up!"
After speaking, he sat on the Silver Leaf Swallow and soared into the air, taking out the Colorful Phoenix Brooch and channeling some spiritual energy into it.
Whether Cai Fei is here or not, those who caused this defeat should not be allowed to live. The Xu family of Wujialing and the Chu family should not be allowed to live.
A moment later, the colorful phoenix was awakened and flew away from Xu Xiaolin's palm. As it slowly flew in the air, it was rapidly growing larger.
Outside the small stone house, Chu Zhiyin took out all the healing talismans from his storage bag and began to stick them onto Chu Zhengshan's body. Zeng Fuhu and several other cultivators surrounded him, casting healing spells, using healing talismans, and channeling spiritual energy to protect his heart meridian...
They tried all sorts of methods, but they still couldn't stop Chu Zhengshan from vomiting mouthfuls of blood, and it was clear that he couldn't survive.
Cai Fei sighed in his mind's eye: "If it had been you who made the move just now..."
"Stop your sympathy, the big one is coming." Li Zhu coldly interrupted him. "Quickly swallow that Leopard Fetus Pill, then relax your mind and your dantian. I will take control of this body."
The big one is coming?
Cai Fei was taken aback, but then obeyed the order, took out the top-grade Leopard Fetus Pill given to him by Long Hen, swallowed it, and then relaxed his body.
The star pattern on Mengji Beast's forehead suddenly lit up in his mind's eye. In the next instant, Cai Fei's body had already passed through the window. With a tap of his right foot, he sat down on the rock in front of the small stone house.
"Everyone, return the Six Harmonies Returning to Origin Formation to its proper positions!"
A voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar rang out using sound-based magic, startling everyone, including Cai Fei himself.
This was Cai Fei's voice, but it had an indescribable quality to it—a coldness bordering on ruthlessness, confidence bordering on domineering. It was the voice of someone who had long held a position of power, and it shouldn't have come from the mouth of an eighteen-year-old boy.
"Return to your positions immediately!"
The sound repeated itself.
Everyone snapped out of their daze and quickly ran towards the various array plates of the Six Harmonies Returning to Origin Array.
Although it's a bit strange to be ordered around like this by an eighteen-year-old boy, this is Cai Fei, the creator of the aerial miracle of Huaguo Mountain, and the genius who led them to kill two Foundation Establishment cultivators in a short time!
Amidst the chaotic footsteps, everyone returned to their positions, including Chu Zhiyin. After holding back tears, Chu Zhiyin gently laid Chu Zhengshan in a comfortable position and quickly returned to his place, pressing his palm against the array node.
"Everyone, channel all your spiritual energy into the 'Sun' position!"
The "Xun" position is where Cai Fei is sitting. By inputting spiritual energy into this position, one can use various spiritual powers to boost the wind spirit.
At this moment, no enemy cultivators are using any massive objects to smash the formation, so what use is Feng Ling?
As everyone poured their spiritual energy into the sky, a question arose in their minds. However, Cai Fei no longer needed to explain; everyone could feel it—an incomparably powerful aura was forming in the sky!
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the sky, like lightning striking down, and the mountaintop was instantly illuminated as if it were daytime.
However, Xu Xiaolin heard the commotion below and sent out a flashing talisman to investigate.
Under the light, Xu Xiaolin saw Cai Fei sitting in the center at a glance. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
"Cai Fei! What a fine son of Aolai!" Amidst his laughter, Xu Xiaolin's voice boomed throughout the entire Chu Family Village. "Good, very good! Let me see if that demon monkey will come to your rescue again!"
A hundred feet above the ground, the colorful phoenix brooch had transformed into a giant bird with a wingspan of ten feet in just a few breaths. It raised its head and let out a clear cry that resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and could be clearly heard as far as Sushanfang.
It circled briefly in the air before swiftly swooping down towards Rotten Peach Peak.
Horcrux!
A soul weapon of the Golden Core level!
This is a magical artifact made from the inner core of an adult demon beast. It contains a trace of the demon beast's soul, obeys its master's commands, and possesses combat power just as strong as the demon beast did in life.
Judging from the aura of the one above, it was equivalent to an adult thieving bird in its previous life, far stronger than the one that appeared in Flower Fruit Mountain. It could kill all the cultivators on Rotten Peach Peak within ten breaths.
The only weakness is that the Horcrux can only be used once, and once released, it will self-destruct within ten breaths!
In this era where high-level demonic beasts are becoming increasingly rare, each soul weapon used is one less available. Even a super sect like Star Moon only has a handful left, making them incredibly precious. This is one of the reasons why Xu Xiaolin has been hesitant to make a decision for so long.
With such a powerful weapon on display, everyone's attention was immediately focused on it.
Hundreds of cultivators were already watching the battle from the air nearby. After this bird's cry, all the cultivators in the Baizijian area rushed out of their homes, took to the air at high speed, and sped towards the Chu Family Village.
Hundreds of flying machines suddenly took to the skies within Sushanfang. The siege of Chu Family Village by the four families had already become the focus of the market. When the birdsong started, the first thing people thought of was that Xingyue had once again dispatched the Thief Birds!
On the main mountain of the Chu family, the Blood Hand and two other families were engaged in a fierce battle with the Chu family cultivators when a Golden Core level aura suddenly appeared in the south. Everyone involuntarily stopped fighting. When the birds started chirping, everyone summoned their flying vehicles and took off south.
The five Foundation Establishment cultivators who were fighting to the death high in the sky stopped immediately and separated from each other. Guo Xiqin and Chief Feng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with despair.
Chief Feng closed his eyes in anguish, unable to bear witnessing the tragedy unfolding below.
Guo Xiqin hesitated for a moment, but finally activated his flying sword and flew straight to Rotten Peach Peak.
Cai Fei possesses a Soul Talisman, a reward from the old dean a hundred years ago for his meritorious service. It can withstand one fatal attack from those below the Golden Core stage, so there is still hope.
The Guo family's honor also wouldn't allow him to stand idly by in the face of disaster!
On Rotten Peach Peak, feeling endless spiritual energy surging from all around, Cai Fei suddenly struck the array eye beneath him with a palm strike.
"rise!"
With a loud shout, Cai Fei shot off like an arrow, the violently surging spiritual energy propelling him into the air at high speed, heading straight for the swooping giant bird.
