The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 888: Five Elements Qiankun Vajra Umbrella, Yet It Doesn’t Protect Its Master!

Chapter 888: Five Elements Qiankun Vajra Umbrella, Yet It Doesn’t Protect Its Master!

"Yan Luo!" she announced her name.

Nanli frowned, her first reaction being: "Yan Luo? I’ve never heard of you."

Yan Luo, on the opposite side, was hurt to see that Nanli didn’t even recognize her. She said, "You don’t even remember me? Nanli, have you forgotten who shattered your inner core?!"

Nanli’s eyes narrowed slightly, "So it’s you."

It had been so long since that event that she couldn’t quite recall all the details.

Shandu also voiced his confusion, "Yan Luo... the name sounds familiar."

The others looked at each other in uncertainty.

Only Yun Yubai seemed rather helpless as he said, "She’s the fourth daughter of Yan Buxiu from Penglai Island. How could you all forget about her?"

Ximen Chuan, ever sharp-tongued, sneered, "A useless waste, who would remember her?"

Yan Luo couldn’t stand such words and instantly rushed forward.

Her speed was so fast that Ximen Chuan was caught off guard and couldn’t evade in time.

Yan Luo’s palm was surrounded by a sinister energy. With his remaining spiritual power, Ximen Chuan couldn’t possibly contend with her.

"Who are you calling a useless waste?!" Yan Luo’s arrogance was palpable.

Ximen Chuan’s face turned pale, and he braced himself, ready to be struck down by a single blow.

But Nanli instantly appeared before him.

The Dark Moon Sword she wielded had the power to exorcise evil, and with a single strike, she suppressed some of Yan Luo’s sinister energy.

"You’ve already fallen into demonic cultivation!" Nanli could tell Yan Luo’s strength at a glance, and she didn’t dare underestimate her. She quickly formed a seal and unleashed several more strikes.

However, Yan Luo’s moves, while crude, were powered by the spiritual energy of dozens of elders, making her far stronger than before.

Even Nanli found it difficult to deal with her.

Had it not been for Yan Luo’s poor technique, Nanli wouldn’t have been able to hold her off for so long.

Cinian quickly realized the severity of the situation and sent out a powerful seal, pushing Yan Luo back a considerable distance.

"She... has reached the Demon Spirit realm!" Cinian was shocked upon discerning Yan Luo’s level.

Demon Cultivators and immortal cultivators had roughly similar realms: Qi Refining, Vitality Gathering, Demon Core, Demon Nascent Soul, Demon Spirit, and then Demon Ghost. After that came the Demon Venerable realms, and finally, the Demon God realm.

Cinian had a deep understanding of Demon Cultivators, especially through the teachings of the Divine Buddha Sect monks.

Although Demon Cultivators cultivated at a fast rate, this kind of rapid advancement seemed almost impossible.

Yun Yubai’s expression turned cold. He had intended to rebuke Yan Luo, but when he thought about the Demon Bone and Demon Core inside himself, he couldn’t bring himself to criticize her.

But Nanli was clear-headed. She looked at Yan Luo and said, "An immortal cultivator without a Demon Bone cannot progress in demonic cultivation. I assume you’ve absorbed a lot of the power of cultivators to reach this stage, haven’t you?"

By then, Ji Chengyi and the others had arrived.

But upon seeing Yan Luo’s current form, the Peak Masters and disciples stood by, merely observing, not rushing into battle.

In essence, Ji Chengyi was waiting to see if there was an opportunity to strike.

Yan Luo didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said, "Nanli, are you scared?"

Nanli chuckled, "You’re the one hiding behind a mask and refusing to show your true face. Yan Luo, it seems you’re the one who’s scared."

Yan Luo replied, "My beauty is not something people like you are worthy of seeing. Nanli, you killed my family and stole my Penglai Island treasures. Today, I’ll settle the score with you! If you kneel and beg for mercy, I might spare your lives!"

"Such arrogance!" Bai Hao couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed forward, "Let me teach you some manners!"

In terms of cultivation realms, a Demon Spirit cultivator could be matched by a Deity Forming cultivator.

Seeing Bai Hao charging, Yan Luo immediately focused, preparing for battle.

The speed and ferocity of their clash seemed as if they were tearing the sky apart!

Yan Luo wasn’t foolish; she yelled, "Ji Chengyi, what are you waiting for?! If I fall, you won’t be able to capture anyone!"

Ji Chengyi was jolted awake by her words.

Although allying with a Demon Cultivator harmed their righteous reputation, he couldn’t afford to be concerned with that right now.

He immediately shouted, "Form the Sword Formation!"

Without hesitation, the Peak Masters and disciples flew to the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, surrounding Yan Luo and Bai Hao tightly.

Ji Chengyi led the charge, controlling his long sword as it flew towards the enemy.

Then came hundreds, even thousands, of swords.

The whistling sound of the wind echoed continuously.

The intention was clear: they would not stop until the battle was won!

Nanli couldn’t afford to care about Bai Hao’s battle. She immediately summoned several talismans, forming a powerful array to withstand the onslaught of the thousand swords.

Seven Peaks Sect was truly an ancient sect, with a large number of cultivators. Their sword formation was akin to a miniature Sky Net Formation, its power unimaginable.

Ximen Chuan, Cinian, and the others wanted to help, but the sheer power of the sword formation left no openings for them to exploit.

Nanli’s face grew increasingly pale.

Maintaining the talisman array was draining her spiritual energy.

Cinian shouted, "Nanli, open the Nether Sect!"

They had already exhausted much of their spiritual energy, and this wasn’t the right time to engage in battle.

Nanli wiped the sweat from her brow. "Though we’re not inside Seven Peaks Sect’s barrier, the surrounding talisman array still prevents the use of Nether Sect."

Cinian gritted his teeth, realizing that the situation was dire.

Without enough energy, he couldn’t perform his greatest techniques, like the Great Buddha Palm.

But Yun Yubai said, "Southeast position, Sister, help me out!"

"Oh... you’re from Yunxiao Peak and are familiar with the sword formation. You must have thought of a way to break it!" Cinian hoped for a solution.

"This sword formation has no weaknesses. We can only force our way through," Yun Yubai said solemnly, "We’ll create a path, and you all can fly out."

The disciples in the southeast corner were knocked over.

With their combined efforts, they opened a path, and Ximen Chuan and the twelve Shans didn’t hesitate—they flew out without delay.

Cinian led the way, striking down anyone who got in their way.

Crimson Glow Peak Master also pulled Yun Shen along to escape.

The path was close to collapsing.

Yun Yubai quickly grabbed Nanli’s hand, "Let’s go!"

As the sword energy approached, the path disappeared.

Yun Yubai froze for a moment, contemplating whether to sacrifice himself to clear a path for Nanli.

But Nanli tightened her grip on his hand and called out, "Five Elements Qiankun Vajra Umbrella! Protect your master!"

At her urging, the Vajra Umbrella soared from Yun Yubai’s back and opened, protecting them from the sword formation.

With the Vajra Umbrella shielding them, they were finally able to escape the sword formation.

It was only thanks to Cinian and the others’ interference that the sword formation’s power was significantly weakened.

However, watching the battle between them and the Seven Peaks Sect disciples was not what Yun Yubai wanted to see.

Ji Chengyi and Zhao Yuyang were the ones who had betrayed him, and he didn’t want to see his disciples die here.

Yun Yubai shouted, "Sect Master! Sixth Senior Brother! This is between us—let’s settle it once and for all!"

Ji Chengyi dismissed him completely, "Yun Yubai, you’ve allied with the Evil Girl! You’re no longer my junior brother, nor are you a Peak Master of Seven Peaks Sect! You think you can save them by dying? All of you will die!"
