Chapter 5234: Change of Battlefield
unable to leave the Demon Suppressing Tower.The termite refused to be captured by Lu Xiaoteng. Realizing there was no escape, it fell into a frenzy of resistance, launching attack after attack. Howeve...The giant crocodile had thick scales on its surface and tremendous strength within. It felt like it could never use up all its power. Relying on its powerful defense, the giant crocodile charged forward all the way.
With the endless power provided by the Yanyan Ghost Pill, even two or three fellow-ranked Smoke Bone Corpse Snakes couldn't break through the defense of the Tuo Corpse King in a short period of time.
Moreover, there was also Quayan and the couple Zuojian standing beside him. Although Six Great Luo Jinxian-level powerhouses from Yan Gu Shi She arrived, they didn't have a good way to deal with the imposing Tasha King.
As for Su Qing, after taking the Yanyan Ghost Pill, she focused all her efforts on healing. Protected by the couple of Zhuo Zu, she didn't need to take action for a while.
When things are critical, it's still good to have your own people protecting you. Su Qing’s original panic disappeared, her injuries healed faster than the Taishi King’s, and she could even devote some energy to further refining the Shun Yin Luo Pan.
"After this, I'll send you out of Mount Liusha first. If the pursuers are relentless, then you can seek me out on your own. After I have gotten rid of my enemies, I will go to find the Ghost Mother of Mirage Puppets. Even if I cannot rescue Luo Qian, it won't delay you from finding me."
The lotus avatar guarded against the smoke-boned corpse snake monster, slowly retreating while sending a voice transmission to Su Qing, informing her of Lu Xia Tian's main body's previous location and current situation.
As for whether she could find the original body, let alone Su Qing, even the lotus avatar would have to rely on luck. Even though there was a certain connection between her and the original body, the entire Immortal-Demon battlefield was vast, with a complex and intertwined environment where several realms were in conflict. This could weaken that connection to its absolute minimum.
Su Qing provided relatively specific information about Luo Qian, but both she and Luo Qian were afraid of the powerful ghosts and demons in the Chen Mo Dead Realm, so they didn't dare to go too deep. They only wandered around the edge. When it came to the Chen Mo Dead Realm, Lianhua's avatar still needed to find the news of the Shengkui Ghost Mother by itself.
This isn't a big problem for the lotus avatar, he can't find the Phantom Puppet Mother on his own anyway. But just like finding Su Qing, it's twice as easy to find someone to help. If you catch a few informants, the problem with finding information will naturally be solved.
“Okay,” Su Qing agreed. This was already the best solution.

Even without the Lotus avatar by his side, after recovering from his injuries and fully refining the Shun Yin Luo Pan, Su Qing was confident that his strength had increased significantly.

When she encounters pursuers like the King of the Turtle Corpses and the Qu family brothers, she can directly counter-kill them, so she wouldn't have to flee everywhere as she did before.
"Wanting to leave isn't that easy." The gigantic bone orb, which had been lying dormant, began to spin at high speed and charged towards the lotus avatar.
The lotus avatar stretched out a hand, summoning the seven town-crushing swords to float in mid-air and fire consecutively towards the bone orb.
Pffft.... The Bone Orb was pierced by the seven town-slaying swords, but its momentum didn't falter. It seemed like the seven town-slaying swords only drilled small holes into it, and hadn't harmed it in the slightest. Furthermore, the broken sword holes were healing at an alarming rate. It continued to charge towards the Lotus Avatar without slowing down.
The old monster was somewhat capable. The lotus avatar's eyes showed a hint of surprise. With a flicker of his divine sense, the seven swords that had been used to subdue him returned, faster than the bone ball. They overtook the bone ball once again and pierced it.
"The same trick didn't work the first time, but it did the second" A cold snort echoed from within the ball.
Before the words could even finish, the old monster inside wanted to quickly heal the hole. However, this time, there were faint sword shadows left at each of the fourteen holes, all echoing with each other. Although the sword shadows couldn't stop the monster's methods, healing would only be a matter of time.
At this point, a lot could have happened for someone of their caliber.
The lotus avatar raised its hand again, and a streak of rainbow light flew out from between its sleeves. Carrying astonishing fairy essence, the sword slashed down.
A bone claw shot out from the bone orb, but it was only met by the bone claws of Taixiao Immortal Sword. Dozens of claw shadows were extinguished one after another by the seven great town swords. The Taixiao Immortal Sword thus successfully struck the bone orb.
This time, the old monster didn't dare to let the power of Taixiao Immortal Sword erupt directly. The bone ball burst out with astonishing defense, trying to block the sword edge outside. However, the inconspicuous sword hole before had become a rather large loophole for the opponent at this time.
The sword wound wasn't fatal, but it was enough to give the old monster a headache.
>
Whoosh, a grey figure darted out from the bone ball, and with a sudden strike of the Taixiao Immortal Sword, it cleaved the giant bone ball in two.
"What an amazing sword immortal!" The gray figure stood in mid-air, a giant serpent rising to its feet with its tail trailing behind it. It held a hazy, grayish lamp in its left hand and a snake skull staff in its right.
The emerald eyes stared intently at the lotus avatar. He had taken a minor hit during their previous encounter, due to his own carelessness and underestimation of this human swordsman's skills.
It's fortunate that there weren't more serious consequences, but his decades of painstakingly crafted, offense-and-defense integrated Ruyi Bone Ball was severely damaged. It truly pained him; if he had taken a more serious attitude from the beginning, it wouldn't have been damaged this quickly.
The lotus avatar's strike landed successfully, but there was no hesitation. Since they had already made a move, they wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. They would press their advantage with lightning speed and further expand their gains; otherwise, the enemy would not easily allow them to leave.
The Taixiao Immortal Sword, once it broke through the skull-shaped barrier, faced no obstacles. It continued to shoot towards the old monster like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
The seven swords swept toward the Smoke Bone Corpse Serpent Demon on top of Yiping Mountain, their tips facing each other to form a large circle. The Seven Swords Mystic Seal enveloped down upon them.
Yān Píng's mountain-bone staff pointed upwards, dozens of staff shadows striking towards the Seven Swords Xuan印 on top of their head. At the same time, with a lift of his left palm, a small lamp floated above it, a beam of gray light shooting out from within, landing directly in front of the Taixiao Immortal Sword.
Hum, sword intent and gray light intertwined into a curtain of light, holding each other in stalemate.
The sword marks left by the seven towns' swords also fell under the high-speed counterattack of the staff shadows, constantly twisting and deforming.

Yānpíng Shān's complexion changed slightly. The power of these seven town swords seemed ordinary at first glance, but when combined, their tenacity was unexpectedly formidable. Several times, it seemed as if the formation would be broken, yet the Seven Swords Mystic Seal held strong.
Although the Seven Swords Seal doesn't seem very powerful, being constantly harassed like this, switching positions several times and still unable to shake off the opponent, ultimately left Yan Ping Shan feeling uncomfortable. It seemed like the other party was holding back some trick they hadn't used yet.
"Come without going back is not polite." Since Yan Ping Shan couldn't break through the Seven Swords Seal immediately, he decided to attack the real Lotus Avatar directly instead of confronting the illusion.

Yān Píngshān spat out a jet of darkness from his mouth. The darkness struck the dim lamp shrouded in corpse gas. Instantly, three crimson serpents with burning ash flames emerged from within the lamp and darted towards the lotus分身. Most sword cultivators are strong in offense but weak in defense.
These three Bone Smoke Serpents, each one is forged from tens of millions of Bone Smoke Corpse Snakes refined essence, taking over ten million years to cultivate with the Yang-Robbing Corpse Lamp.
Though he hasn't gathered enough Xuan Tian Qi to refine it, at least within the area of Liushibi Mountain, the power of the three Yan Gu Snake Spirits is almost comparable to that of a Xuan Tian Immortal Artifact. This is also his reliance on dominating this region.
The smoke bone serpent spirit circled around its side, biting at the lotus split body from all directions. The lotus split body continuously shot out several sword qi, and the sharp sword qi hitting the smoke bone serpent spirit's head was directly bounced back, failing to cause any harm.
Hiss! The skeletal snake spirits let out a chilling cry. Although there were only three of them, they sounded like a multitude of snakes hissing in unison. And these hisses, when woven together, formed a powerful force.

Low-level smoke skeletons and corpse spiny bees around were affected by the chaotic sound waves and fell to the ground.
The couple on the left, slightly farther away, were also dazed and confused. The attack hadn't been fatal yet, but it was causing significant interference in their actions.
Fortunately, this effect was indiscriminate, and even the six Golden Immortal-level smoke bone corpse snakes were affected accordingly. In comparison, Su Qing's cultivation base and the protection of the Shun Yin Luo Pan meant she suffered relatively less influence.
The lotus avatar stood motionless in the void, simply watching as three serpent spirits made of smoke rushed towards it. As the smoke serpents neared, the sword intent swirling around the lotus avatar formed a phantom sword stele.
On the phantom sword stele, lines of inscriptions flickered, each stroke imbued with a distinct sword intent. Despite the formidable attacks of the Smoke Bone Serpent Spirit, it remained unable to penetrate the phantom sword stele's defense.
Yān Píngshān, with a pair of jade-green eyes wide with disbelief, stared at the scene before him. The spectral image of the sword stele was astonishingly powerful, effortlessly deflecting the attacks of his three Yán Gǔ Shī Líng (smoke bone spirits) without even showing a hint of damage. It was truly beyond comprehension.
For a time, he couldn't see any signs of weakness from the other party. However, there were a few places where the sword monument's illusory shadow was not perfect. When attacked, these flaws would become apparent, perhaps offering him an opportunity to breakthrough.
The corpse lantern on top of the mountain flattened its palm again, shooting several gray beams towards the gap in the sword stele's phantom. The curved blade was also hidden within one of the corpse lights.
Ding ding ding, the phantom of the sword stele flickered, and the lotus avatar inside frowned slightly. He had made some disguises for the weaknesses of the sword stele phantom, but he didn't expect the other party to find the weakness so quickly.
Although they may not be able to truly attack for the time being, the opponent's strength is undeniable. Their attacks are extremely sharp, and their defenses are also incredibly strong. Especially within Liushishan, the effect of the opponent's corpse lamps is particularly evident. Defeating such a powerful opponent is undoubtedly extremely difficult.
After getting a general understanding of Pian Shan's strength, the lotus avatar temporarily stopped thinking about comparing strengths. It focused its energy on restraining the opponent and creating diversions.
Once we leave the range of Mount Liusha, their Corpse Lantern effect should weaken. If this guy, Yān Píng Shān, really dares to chase us outside, I'll show him what happens!
The battle between Lotus's avatar and Yān Píngshān reached a stalemate, but the fight on the side of the Tǎ shī Wáng became even more intense.

At this time, two more powerful beings at the Da Luo Jinxian level arrived from the side of the bone-smoke corpse serpent. The turtle corpse king, who had been advancing rapidly all along, was inevitably slowing down under the siege of several enemies of the same rank. After all, at this time, the bone-smoke corpse serpents at the Da Luo Jinxian level already held an absolute numerical advantage.
Eighteen snake-shaped flying knives swooped around the Tǎshǐ King like locusts, launching a fierce attack. These serpentine blades were relentless, probing every inch of the Tǎshǐ King's body for any possible weakness.
Although the King of Turtles is covered in thick scales, making it difficult for opponents of equal strength to break through its defense, facing several opponents of equal strength for a long time, its defense cannot be maintained forever. After a while, several places on its abdomen become somewhat vulnerable.
"Senior, it's no use, I can't maintain this form and charge in directly anymore. Otherwise, I'll be killed by these troublesome fellows."
With two muffled thuds, the Tasha King only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. His body swayed and he hurriedly sent a voice transmission to his lotus flower avatar.
“Just go with the flow.” Every bit of strength was precious at this moment, and Lotus hadn't set her sights too high on the Tasa King either.
It's no longer realistic to rush out of this area all at once. Not only is that the case for him, but Su Qing and the others who want to leave this place will likely face many twists and turns as well.
“Yes, senior!” The Giant Toad King, who had been struggling under the relentless assault, was overjoyed upon hearing this. Instantly, his form shrank dramatically, transforming into a human body with a toad’s head.
"The Formation of Ten Golden Pearls!" The King of Turtles stretched out his hand, and ten transparent golden pearls with turtle patterns flew out one after another.
In the blink of an eye, ten golden light pillars formed. The eighteen snake-shaped flying knives, within these rapidly changing golden light pillars, seemed to be affected by some unknown force, their speed decreased slightly, and subsequently collided frequently with the Jinshuzhu, causing their power to greatly diminish.
The Corpse King relaxed his breath, glad that the Lotus Avatar was finally making some sense. Otherwise, he would have been in a difficult position.
As the enemy, the Tasa King was a powerful and highly skilled Da Luo Jinxian. Several times he blocked their attacks with his formidable physical body, and often helped Left Thorn and his wife, Quayan, resolve crises. Several of the same level Yānguǐ Shīshé decided to team up and take down this guy first.
>
With a flick of his bone staff, a terrifying grey sphere carrying an aura of annihilation shot towards the Tasa King.
The golden crocodile bead's defenses, formed in an instant, couldn't completely hold out. A deafening boom echoed as the sound intensified, and the serpentine flying knives poured in through the opening created by the blast.
The Corpse King was instantly shocked and terrified. It seemed that regardless of whether he transformed into a form conducive to combat, the other party already regarded him as a thorn in their side, a pest they wanted to eliminate quickly.
Three powerful enemies had been brewing this intense attack for so long, exceeding expectations. But it wasn't that easy to get past. Under the severe crisis, the Tasha King directly recalled ten golden Ta-zhu pearls, forming a golden light shield in the shortest time.
With a deafening roar! The golden light shield trembled violently. Even the Taishi King, hiding within it, was shaken to his core, his inner corpse qi surging wildly. He was terrified beyond measure. If not for the Yanyan Ghost Pill, he estimated that under this powerful onslaught, he wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer and would have most likely been severely injured by the opponent.
"Help me!" The King of the Lizard Corpse, though fighting three opponents, was in a dangerous situation. In truth, his previous performance had been too dazzling, attracting an even greater backlash.
Surrounded by flying knives in a serpentine pattern, a gray light ball attacked at high speed, not giving him any chance to breathe or escape. At this time, the King of Turtle Corpse naturally had no choice but to seek help from others.
Quayan was too busy with his own affairs to notice. As for the cultivation of the Left An couple, it had indeed taken a leap forward compared to before. Together, they blocked the four enemies, leaving them no time to spare.rable to few others. Unexpectedly, he encountered someone here who not only didn't fall behind but was also Lu Xiaitian, a fellow practitioner with equal cultivation in both alchemy and martial arts.“...
