The dark-red Arcane Fortune Li Fire spewed onto the blood sea, making it tremble slightly, but it still withstood it.
But then lightning immediately descended from the sky.
The lightning struck the blood sea, causing it to churn incessantly.
Blood water evaporated into trails of smoke.
An opening was torn in the tumbling blood sea, revealing the people inside.
Chen Chaoyan and Hui Tianyu tried their best to look.
They could not see the old bloody shadow demon anywhere, while Chen Jiezhi, the Cold Mountain Sect Master Gou Zi, and two Chen clan elders were all there wounded.
In addition, there was a girl of about ten years old whom Chen Chaoyan and Hui Tianyu had never seen before.
Chen Jiezhi and Hui Tianyu were relieved that Chen Jiezhi, Guo Zi, and the others were safe and sound.
But after the heavenly lightning tore through the blood sea, the other enemies immediately attacked the people in it.
On the ground, a group of Mirror Moon Tower disciples raised their hands in a hail of voices.
All of a sudden, dozens of bright moonlight beams flew up, crisscrossing and covering Chen Jiezhi and the others.
Chen Jiezhi’s Great Wind Cloud Palm created a storm and clashed with the moonlight beams, causing them to seemingly hit a wall.
The moonlight beams flew backward, and when Chen Chaoyan looked closely, she found that they were clearly crescent-shaped scimitars without hilts.
Mirror Moon Tower disciples were good at using this unique weapon.
The hurricane blew away a few crescent scimitars, but more moonlight beams came toward the people in the blood sea.
The blood water surged as it tried to regather to protect everyone.
But the dark-red Arcane Fortune Li Fire was like a tarsal maggot, entangling it as though it had life.
The water and fire were in a stalemate.
The Arcane Fortune Li Fire could not approach Chen Jiezhi and the others.
But the blood water could not regather under its obstruction.
Chen Jiezhi was expressionless as he knocked the moonlight beams flying away.
The Mirror Moon Tower disciples were riding enormous, strangely-shaped horses and soared into the air.
The horses were all black with dragon scales that refracted light and were more than twice the size of ordinary steeds.
The Cold Mountain Sect Master Guo Zi frowned slightly. “Those are…”
“They’re thunder dragon foals. I’ve heard that the Mirror Moon Tower raises a lot of them,” a Chen clan elder replied.
The exotic beast thunder dragon foal was like a dragon yet not a dragon and like a horse yet not a horse. It could move with the wind and lightning and fly in the sky.
The Mirror Moon Tower disciples moved quickly in the air thanks to the thunder dragon foals.
Each of them held a shining round shield.
These shields reflected light as though they were round mirrors.
The light formed a white blur, affecting the vision of Chen Jiezhi, Guo Zi, and the others.
Amid the sounds of clashing, the flying crescent scimitars changed direction toward the people in the blood sea.
The scimitars had no hilts, and the Mirror Moon Tower disciples never intended to catch them.
They used the round shields in their hands skillfully to bounce back the scimitars like reflecting light.
It might seem disorderly, but they were actually well-trained and beyond expectations.
A light rebound was a fierce attack.
Dozens of round shields bounced back the crescent scimitars while at the same time condensing powerful light to illuminate the enemies’ eyes.
Dozens of crescent scimitars flew in the air and danced arcs in the sky without interfering with one another, creating a perfect web of slaughter.
Chen Jiezhi’s hand seals were majestic as he created a hurricane.
The hand movements, which were originally fierce and swift, suddenly became soft and detailed at this moment.
The palm breeze was like a gigantic net that sucked in the crescent scimitars, not giving them a chance to fly back and rebound.
In a split second, Chen Jiezhi had disarmed the Mirror Moon Tower disciples collectively.
Guo Zi attacked, and the Night Elegance Sword pierced through the night sky like lightning, instantly stabbing a Mirror Moon Tower disciple.
Guo Zi’s longsword pierced through the round shield in the opponent’s hand.
The man looked at the blade that penetrated his shield and pierced his chest, unable to rest in peace.
The surrounding Mirror Moon Tower martial artists took the opportunity to catch up.
Multiple round shields formed several shield walls, squeezing Guo Zi in the center from all directions.
Guo Zi’s sword technique was both fast and lethal.
Sword light drew a strange arc, bypassing the shield walls, but it did not target these Mirror Moon Tower disciples.
Instead, it aimed at the thunder dragon foals beneath them.
The shields were small, but the horses were big.
Even though the Mirror Moon Tower disciples were well-trained and promptly used their shields to protect their horses, they could not withstand the fifth-realm Guo Zi, who had higher cultivation and better sword techniques.
Amid mournful cries, the sword immediately hit several thunder dragon foals, staining the sky with blood.
These thunder dragon foals fell downward, carrying the Mirror Moon Tower disciples with them.
But just as Guo Zi was achieving results, a majestic force suddenly came from the side!
Guo Zi waved his sword and welcomed the moonlight beam.
The other party exclaimed in surprise.
From observation, people would know that Guo Zi’s Night Elegance Sword had astounding speed.
But at this moment, Guo Zi’s sword speed was still beyond the opponent’s expectation.
However, the strength of the opponent’s sword was not something Guo Zi could resist.
Although the longsword in his hand stopped the crescent scimitar, the tremendous force was so great that his body became numb, and the longsword almost dropped out of his hand.
Fortunately, Chen Jiezhi descended from the sky and struck with two palms.
The first palm deflected the opponent’s scimitar.
The second palm struck the opponent’s round shield.
The two sides collided in force, and their bodies flew backward.
Chen Jiezhi retreated with Guo Zi.
Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man with a scimitar in one hand and a round shield in the other with a steady grandeur.
Chen Jiezhi was not confident that he could win against this Mirror Moon Tower elder even if he met him on usual days.
At the moment, he was even under attack by many people.
A dark-red fire net suddenly appeared in midair, blocking Chen Jiezhi and Guo Zi’s retreat back to the blood sea.
Chen Jiezhi waved his palm, and a fiery hurricane tore the net.
He seemed to have a way out now, but the martial artists of the Mirror Moon Tower below had already caught up again.
Endless blood rain fell from the blood sea above.
The blood rain was fishy and pungent.
As soon as the round shields in the Mirror Moon Tower martial artists’ hands became stained, they immediately dimmed and became filthy.
Blood splashed onto the thunder dragon foals beneath them, and they even gave out mournful wails.
The scales of the horses’ bodies peeled off, and they became badly mangled. They even emitted a rotting stench.
The old bloody shadow demon stopped these Mirror Moon Tower members, and Chen Jiezhi and the others could concentrate on breaking the Dharma spells of the Fortune Celebration Temple Daoist experts.
But it was too late.
The old bloody shadow demon helped out Chen Jiezhi and others, but lightning techniques rumbled in the air again, splitting the blood sea into half.
If things get bad, I’ll just escape by myself… The old demon cursed in its heart.
As soon as it had this thought, it suddenly saw clouds floating in the distance.
On the cloud, Chen Chaoyan calmly performed hand seals.
On the Cloud Net Canopy, a ball of purple lightning flashed.
The purple lightning rose into the sky and struck back at the azure thunderclouds above.
In the clouds, azure lightning struck down in succession, colliding with the purple lightning in midair, causing lightning flashes and thunder rolls.
It was so deafening and blinding that people could hardly open their eyes.
Chen Chaoyan did not stop, and her hand seals were continuously changing.
From the Cloud Net Canopy, a stream of water gushed out and rapidly enlarged in midair, turning into a large river.
The river hung in the air, flowing between the heavens and the earth, rushing toward the dark-red Arcane Fortune Li Fire and instantly extinguishing it!
