Chapter 145 The Balance of Heaven and Earth
Gradually, the white fog thickened, turning the entire sea of clouds into a killing field.
The more they fought, the more strained they became, revealing the true difficulty of the Thousand Illusions Array.
This formation is a mix of illusion and reality, and there are also elusive assassins from the Dark Fragrance Pavilion hiding in the gaps between the illusion and reality.
Seeing that ordinary illusions were no match for the group, the Dark Fragrance Pavilion sent out more assassins to hide in the illusion array and launch a sneak attack.
Among them were Heavenly Rank assassins, and even Li Jingyun could not deal with them as easily as before.
Their figures blended seamlessly with the white mist, leaving no trace. They would strike from any blind spot, each move deadly.
Xia Yufei, in particular, was slightly weaker in cultivation, and faced numerous dangers. The group formed a defensive formation, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Beside Liu Yiyi, her natal magic weapon, Flower Not Flower, danced in the air, its pale pink petals swirling like a dream, forming a shield. The moment the assassin attacked, the petals tightly bound his figure and instantly shredded him.
Qin Wan unfurled the Mountain and River Fan in her hand, and the green mountains and clear waters on the fan surface surged with spiritual light, transforming into a ten-foot-long green stone mountain. No matter how the assassin slashed at it, the mountain remained unmoved.
Holding the Cold Star Blade, Ye Wei moved with the grace of a startled swan, her blade flashing like a streak of light. The assassin's sneak attack trajectory was nowhere to be seen in her eyes, and with a flash of blade light, a black shadow vanished.
The dew-covered flower hairpin in Su Qingyuan's hair transformed into a sky full of clear light sword array, protecting her body from all angles. Any assassin who dared to approach was pierced through by the clear light the moment they showed their face.
Mo Yuan's dark eyebrows hovered around his body, and his sword energy condensed into a sword domain, which most sneak attacks could not even break through.
Lin Yan held the Heavenly Array Disc above his head, the array patterns flowing rapidly. He used his fingertips to calculate the trajectory of the array's core, predicting the assassin's landing point in advance and setting up a simple interception array.
Chu Tian held the Divine Firmament Sword in one hand. He cultivated both the Dao of Dreams and the Dao of Arrays, and his spiritual perception far surpassed that of his peers. His sword aura was fierce.
Any phantom that gets close is instantly destroyed by a swift sword strike.
At the forefront, Cheng Hao, with his hundred-foot-tall Xuanwu Dharma Body, was like a war god descending to earth. Xuanhuang spiritual light flowed throughout his body, and he held the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear horizontally in his hand, sweeping the spear with unstoppable force.
No matter how many assassins attacked, they could not get close to him.
Occasionally, an attack would land on him, but it would only cause a few sparks to fly, and it couldn't break through his defenses at all.
All of them were elite disciples with firm Dao hearts and extraordinary supernatural abilities. Even when trapped in the killing array and illusion array and surrounded by endless sneak attacks, they still maintained a tight formation and none of them showed the slightest panic.
But the dangers of the Thousand Illusions Maze are far more than that.
The scattered assassin phantoms gradually dissipated, and the next moment, eight Heavenly Rank assassins suddenly burst forth from the gap between reality and illusion!
They occupied all eight blind spots, their movements perfectly synchronized, sealing off every angle, their target aimed directly at Lin Yan, who was focused on deducing the formation's core.
Once the array deduction is interrupted, everyone will be completely helpless and have no chance of breaking the array!
The attack was swift and the killing intent was intense, instantly locking down the entire space!
Chu Tian swung his sword horizontally, but was held back by two assassins.
The others couldn't arrive in time to provide assistance. Lin Yantian's Divination Disc suddenly shone brightly, and he hastily set up defenses, but there was no way to avoid it!
A hair's breadth, a matter of life and death.
Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun suddenly erupted at the same moment!
"We've been waiting for you!"
Li Jingyun's jade robes danced wildly, the tip of his Dragon Roar Sword pointed diagonally to the sky, spiritual energy poured in like a celestial river, and the sound of his Dao resounded throughout the illusory sea, shaking the very soul.
"Severing All Thoughts from the Void!"
The invisible mental force and sword light exploded together. This sword did not cut the physical body, but only destroyed illusions.
As the sword light flashed, the movements of the eight Heavenly Rank assassins froze for a moment, and the entire array space rippled slightly!
At the same instant Li Jingyun made his move, all twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls around Xia Linxian shone brightly!
The Zhenhai Pearl could draw upon the power of the universe, its azure light transforming into a boundless radiance. Combined with the Heavenly Secrets Disc in front of it to stabilize the meridians, his spiritual energy surged in his palm, and a vast Daoist sound shook the heavens.
"The heavens are set in motion!"
The heavens are the guardian, stabilizing the universe and bringing peace!
The twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls were linked together to form the Zhutian Xuanguang Grand Array, whose light swept in all directions, completely imprisoning the entire attack area!
Even the swirling of the thick fog stopped at this moment, and the irregularly moving array core also stopped.
Eight Heavenly Rank assassins were frozen in mid-air, their ability to escape was sealed for a moment, leaving them unable to flee!
Cut through falsehood, and the world will be restored!
The void severs its thoughts and breaks its source; the heavens stabilize the universe and suppress its form!
The two supreme techniques of the two academies, combined with the perfect understanding between the two, created an earth-shattering power!
Seeing this opportunity, the others unleashed a barrage of spells and magical artifacts at the eight assassins.
Boom!
The eight illusory figures of Heavenly Rank assassins shattered under the combined attack of the group and then vanished without a trace.
The thick white mist was forced back hundreds of feet by this supreme power, and the killing force of the illusion array temporarily subsided, allowing everyone a moment to catch their breath.
At this moment, the experts from Anxiang Tower who were maintaining the formation on the outside were already covered in sweat, and maintaining the formation was not easy for them.
"These people from the Daoist academy are so troublesome! If we hadn't adjusted the formation in time, those two would have seriously injured all eight of us with their combined attack," a Heavenly Rank assassin outside the formation said with lingering fear.
"As expected of the two prodigies of the Dao Academy, they truly live up to their reputation. Moreover, one of them is a master of formations. It seems that the first formation won't be able to trap them for long." The guardian elder in charge of the formation said with a heavy expression.
"Even if they manage to break through the first layer of the formation, the second layer will surely ensure their demise. How dare the Dark Fragrance Pavilion allow them to act so recklessly!" another assassin said coldly.
"Don't underestimate them! Quickly inform the Lord of the Tower that if they can really get out of the second layer of the formation, then it will be a fierce battle!" the guardian elder scolded.
The man said nothing more and silently retreated to report to the host.
At this moment, the invasion of the dense fog and the changes in the array's core only paused for a moment before resuming operation.
The elders of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion outside the formation continued to exert their power, giving everyone no chance to catch their breath.
Lin Yan steadied himself within the illusion array, the Heavenly Evolution Disc shone brightly again, and the array deduction accelerated once more.
Chu Tianyi gently spun the Divine Night Sword back into its sheath, and his divine sense swept over the surroundings, finding no trace of the sneak attack.
Everyone looked at Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun, who stood side by side, and their eyes were filled with sincere admiration.
Xia Linxian raised his hand to conceal the mysterious light of the Zhenhai Pearl, and the Heavenly Mystery Disc began to lock onto the array's core fluctuations again. His tone was calm:
"Just now, the supernatural power could only temporarily suppress the array's strength. Although the movement of the eighty-one array eyes slowed down, it was still not completely locked, and the movement of the array eyes is accelerating."
Li Jingyun's voice echoed throughout the crowd: "Seize this opportunity, Junior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Chu, do your best to deduce the array's core; delay will only lead to unforeseen changes."
"Senior Brother Chenghao, guard the front; the rest of you, protect the flanks. Senior Brother Xia and I will hold the line, and we will not allow any more assassins to cause trouble!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison and began to solidify their formation.
Xia Linxian continued to activate his divine powers to slow down the movement of the array's core and the erosion of the mist, creating an opportunity for everyone.
The white mist continued to churn, and the ominous power of the illusion array had not dissipated, but thanks to the tacit cooperation of the two, the dead end of the Thousand Illusions Array was finally torn open with a crack.
