Chapter 131: I’ll Just Sit Back and Watch You All Perform!

Under the moonlit night, in the Ghost Mist Gorge.

Toxic fog permeated the air, eerie and terrifying.

This place was largely deserted even during the day, and at night, no one dared to enter.

However, in this treacherous gorge, it was surprisingly lively.

Demonic energy soared to the sky, flames lit up.

The aura of the Demon Sect roared like thunder, and sword energy surged high.

Ling Daochen was imprisoned within the Twelve Directions Sect’s Enchantment of Demon Extermination.

Inside the demonic formation, he dashed left and right, employing all his skills, but it was in vain.

The Twelve Directions Sect’s Enchantment of Demon Extermination was indeed as formidable as its name suggested.

Ling Daochen was getting desperate.

At that moment, Xiao Yang was also on the brink of death.

He had been suddenly ambushed by Li Gaitian, who had seized his heavenly spirit.

Li Gaitian was ruthless, aiming to crush Xiao Yang’s head with a single squeeze.

However, in the next instant, a layer of frost suddenly appeared on Li Gaitian’s right hand, completely freezing it.

“What the…”

Li Gaitian felt a chilling aura invade his right hand. In just a moment, his palm and forearm were encased in ice.

“Humph!”

Li Gaitian sneered, directly channeling his mysterious skills to shatter the frost on his hand.

In that split second, Xiao Yang had already counterattacked.

In a clash between masters, victory or defeat hung on a hair’s breadth.

*Bang!*

A dull thud sounded.

Xiao Yang’s left fist had slammed hard into Li Gaitian’s body.

“……”

Just as Li Gaitian had shattered the frost on his right hand, he was met with Xiao Yang’s punch.

The next moment, Li Gaitian was sent flying, and in the process, his entire body rapidly became covered with a layer of transparent ice.

The esteemed Lord of Nine Heavens City and Deputy Leader of the Twelve Directions Sect was actually sealed in ice by a single punch from Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang’s left-hand technique was like a mystical python, while the right was like a fiery qilin—not to be taken lightly.

Li Gaitian had truly slipped on a banana peel this time.

He had never regarded the masked figure in gold as a threat.

Who would have thought that this guy not only excelled in fiery techniques but also had a trump card up his sleeve?

That power of the Great Yin was cold and overbearing; even after getting hit by Xiao Yang’s Great Yin Divine Fist, Li Gaitian was momentarily frozen stiff.

*Boom!*

Li Gaitian flew several miles, crashing headfirst into the gorge’s stone wall.

*Rumble…*

A large section of the stone wall crumbled down, burying Li Gaitian beneath the rubble.

Xiao Yang, on the other hand, broke into a cold sweat.

He had actually sensed Li Gaitian’s presence long ago.

He had merely caught Li Gaitian off guard.

He had intentionally shown a weakness to lure Li Gaitian into action.

Li Gaitian had indeed fallen into the trap.

In his previous life, he had roamed the Northern Realm for a thousand years, contending with the likes of Qin Fei and had seen all sorts of underhanded tricks.

Now, in this new life, he wanted to use Li Gaitian’s own methods against him.

Xiao Yang also knew this maneuver was extremely risky; one wrong move could end his life at Li Gaitian’s hands.

He had succeeded.

Meanwhile, the Fire Demon Child, Three Fire, had seized the opportunity to escape.

The firelight emanating from Tong Yan quickly vanished, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the dark gorge.

Tong Yan didn’t want to risk his life against this masked figure.

Xiao Yang didn’t pay any attention to Tong Yan.

He moved swiftly and arrived near the Twelve Directions Sect’s Enchantment of Demon Extermination in an instant.

He didn’t reveal himself, still hidden in the shadows.

Xiao Yang quietly watched the show.

He observed the changes within the Demon Sect’s formidable array.

As the Demon Sect’s foundational formation, the Twelve Directions Sect’s Enchantment of Demon Extermination was naturally no small matter.

Ling Daochen, being the revered elder of the Qingyang Sword Sect, possessed peak strength at the Divine Martial Realm.

Under Half Saint rank, he was almost invincible.

Yet, no matter how desperately Ling Daochen fought, he couldn’t break free from the demonic formation.

*Buzz!*

Inside the formation, the sound of sword whistles rang out.

Imposing sword light cut through layers of demonic fog, annihilating countless demonic shadows. Just as he was about to break free, an invisible force held him back.

Xiao Yang noticed that the demonic shadows slain by Ling Daochen’s sword light emerged once again from the fog.

He carefully counted, realizing there were twelve incredibly powerful demonic shadows within the Twelve Directions Sect’s Enchantment of Demon Extermination.

These shadows relentlessly lunged towards Ling Daochen’s sword light.

The eerie demonic shadows were undeterred by Ling Daochen’s blade.

Moreover, Xiao Yang discovered that the powers of these twelve demonic shadows could even corrode Ling Daochen’s flying sword.

Ling Daochen’s sword light grew increasingly feeble.

Xiao Yang understood that if this continued, Ling Daochen wouldn’t last much longer.

But he had no intention of stepping in.

In his previous life, Ling Daochen had chosen Qin Fei, not him, Xiao Yang.

It was because Qin Fei was the Innate Dao Body, the chosen one.

In Ling Daochen’s eyes, Qin Fei’s constitution overshadowed the True Sun Holy Body of Xiao Yang.

With the against-the-odds Innate Dao Body, Qin Fei would undoubtedly surpass Xiao Yang in accomplishments.

In the previous life, it was precisely because Ling Daochen supported Qin Fei and protected him that Qin Fei managed to cultivate to the Sacred Martial Realm and had the strength to face him, Xiao Yang.

Recalling the past, how could he possibly help Ling Daochen?

Didn’t you all favor Qin Fei?

Didn’t you choose Qin Fei?

Then let your dear Qin Fei handle you!

This was all part of Qin Fei’s plan.

That guy still wanted to lure him, Xiao Yang, in.

Watching Ling Daochen, who was on the verge of collapse, Xiao Yang felt an unparalleled calm.

*Boom!*

At that moment, a loud bang echoed from afar.

The buried Li Gaitian shook off the dirt and rubble while soaring into the sky.

An overwhelming aura radiated, causing the world itself to change color.

He had just expelled the invading energy of the Great Yin Fist from his body.

In the next moment, Li Gaitian dashed toward the Twelve Directions Sect’s Enchantment of Demon Extermination.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside the demonic formation.

Li Gaitian, with his disheveled hair and a significant lack of composure, was a sight to behold.

To keep his identity hidden, he also wore a mask.

It was a bronze mask with a green face and sharp teeth.

Xiao Yang remained hidden in the shadows.

Even though Li Gaitian possessed Half Saint level cultivation, he couldn’t sense Xiao Yang’s presence.

Having suffered a huge loss at Xiao Yang’s hands, Li Gaitian was seething with anger, with no outlet for his frustration.

He let out an angry roar and charged into the Twelve Directions Sect’s Enchantment of Demon Extermination.

“Thank you, friend, for coming to my rescue…”

Ling Daochen was both shocked and delighted, summoning his flying sword to slay the incoming demonic shadows.

However, those shadows kept emerging, an endless flow.

Just as he was about to collapse, someone charged in from outside the formation.

Moreover, this newcomer exuded no demonic aura at all.

A righteous person had arrived!

“I’ll save you, my foot!”

Li Gaitian lunged at Ling Daochen with a punch right to the face.

Ling Daochen had never expected an ally would attack him.

He hadn’t prepared for it at all.

Li Gaitian’s punch left Ling Daochen dazed.

Xiao Yang watched as Ling Daochen was knocked in the face, his nose collapsing, and he spat out a few bloody teeth.

Ling Daochen’s face was smeared with blood, a sight of utter misfortune.

“You…”

Ling Daochen was shocked and furious.

He covered his face, using his flying sword for protection, staring fiercely at Li Gaitian.

The Demon Sect was the enemy of all forces in the Northern Realm. This person was not a follower of the Demon Sect; why was he helping them?

Ling Daochen couldn’t believe it.

At that moment, brilliant sword light appeared in the distant sky.

Streams of sword light streaked across the pitch-black sky, heading straight for the Ghost Mist Gorge.

“Haha… Reinforcements have arrived!”

Ling Daochen burst into laughter.

The hidden Xiao Yang looked up at the distant sky.

He saw figures riding flying swords, quickly making their way to hover over the Ghost Mist Gorge.

Leading them was none other than Jiang Qitian, the Sect Leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect.
