Chapter 175 Bitter Battle with Lin Xitong
"Hmph, catch up with me first!" Liu Rumei sneered.
"Haha, fairy, remember to keep your word!" Lin Xitong was so caught up in the moment that he forgot to pay attention to his surroundings.
In a short while, Liu Rumei led Lin Xitong to the location where Ye Xiaobai had set up the formation.
"Ye Xiaobai, hurry up and make your move!" As soon as Lin Xitong entered the array's range, Liu Rumei immediately shouted loudly at Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai dared not hesitate, for he knew that the slightest hesitation could lead to disastrous consequences. Without hesitation, he acted swiftly, immediately activating the sixth-order formation—the Soul-Locking Immortal-Binding Formation! As he moved, the entire formation began to shine with dazzling light, filled with a mysterious and powerful aura.
Lin Xitong immediately sensed something was wrong; he found himself trapped in this strange formation. He tried to struggle, but found he couldn't escape the restraints no matter what he did. This filled him with an unprecedented fear and unease, as he had never experienced such a predicament before.
However, Lin Xitong guessed that the formation might not be particularly powerful, and that he might not be able to break it even if he tried his best. Lin Xitong still tried to persuade him: "Fellow Daoist Ye, it's fate. I let you go in the Five Elements Venerable's Secret Realm before, so why are you forcing me now?"
"Senior, as long as you hand over the treasures from the Five Elements Venerable's Secret Realm, I promise I won't make things difficult for you!" Ye Xiaobai suggested directly.
"You youngster, you're not satisfied with just one treasure? Aren't you afraid of overeating and dying?" Lin Xitong threatened.
"Senior, don't worry. I've always had a good appetite and I'm not afraid of overeating!" Ye Xiaobai said dismissively.
"Alright, alright! Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony!" Lin Xitong knew there was no point in saying anything, so he decided to let his strength speak for itself.
He then unleashed his ultimate move—Spear Piercing the Nine Heavens. In a short while, a long earth-attribute spear, over five zhang long, appeared before everyone. As earth-attribute spiritual energy from the space continuously poured in, the spear became even more solid.
Ye Xiaobai immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Fairy Liu, quickly attack and destroy that spear!" After saying that, Ye Xiaobai did not forget to increase the input of spiritual power to strengthen the defensive strength of the formation.
"To catch the thief, catch the king first. Why don't we just attack that old man directly?" Liu Rumei said, and immediately used her ethereal copper ring to smash towards Lin Xitong's location.
"Spear Pierces Through the Nine Heavens!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud bangs rang out, and the formation immediately trembled violently, almost being shattered by Lin Xitong's attack.
Ye Xiaobai's expression changed slightly, but after seeing that the formation had finally withstood Lin Xitong's attack, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Liu Rumei also made her move.
A sharp longsword had appeared in her hand without her noticing, and with a surge of sword energy, she slashed fiercely at Lin Xitong.
However, Lin Xitong easily evaded Liu Rumei's attack.
"Hmph, just a trivial skill." Lin Xitong sneered, a look of disdain on his face.
He dodged Liu Rumei's attack in a flash, and then slammed his palm out, the wind whistling as it carried a powerful force.
Liu Rumei's expression changed, and she quickly swung her sword to defend herself.
"boom!"
She was thrown back several steps, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
"hateful……"
Liu Rumei gritted her teeth, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
She never expected that even when she went all out, she was still no match for Lin Xitong.
Just then, Ye Xiaobai activated the formation again.
Beams of light shot out from all directions, forming a huge net of light that enveloped Lin Xitong.
Lin Xitong frowned, and a powerful aura erupted from his body as he tried to break free from the constraints of the light net.
But Ye Xiaobai kept injecting spiritual power, making the light net stronger and stronger.
Lin Xitong was unable to escape for the time being.
"Damn it!" Lin Xitong cursed.
He never imagined that this formation would be so powerful.
"Haha, senior, since you refuse to cooperate with this junior, today is your death day!"
Ye Xiaobai laughed loudly, while constantly making hand seals to control the formation and launch an attack.
Beams of light shot towards Lin Xitong, leaving him in a sorry state.
Lin Xitong felt extremely aggrieved. He, a powerful cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, was being suppressed so badly by a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
His face turned extremely gloomy, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
"You two ants, once I break through this formation, I will tear you to pieces!" Lin Xitong said through gritted teeth.
"Really? Then you try it!" Ye Xiaobai sneered.
He continuously increased the power of the formation, putting Lin Xitong in a difficult situation.
At this moment, Lin Xitong secretly regretted his actions.
I should have known better than to underestimate them, otherwise I wouldn't be in this predicament.
Meanwhile, Liu Rumei also seized the opportunity to launch an attack.
She brandished her long sword, unleashing streaks of sword energy towards Lin Xitong.
Lin Xitong dodged left and right, looking extremely disheveled.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and decided to use his trump card—his incarnation.
He roared, and his body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a gigantic monster.
"Roar!"
Lin Xitong let out a roar, his voice like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.
Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei's expressions changed drastically. They felt a powerful pressure that made it hard for them to breathe.
"What kind of monster is this?" Ye Xiaobai asked in shock.
"Oh no, this guy's going to fight desperately," Liu Rumei said with a grave expression.
She gripped the ethereal copper ring in her hand, preparing to receive Lin Xitong's final blow.
At this moment, Lin Xitong had transformed into a colossal beast tens of feet tall, exuding a terrifying aura.
He opened his blood-red maw and lunged at Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei.
Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei were shocked and quickly used their movement techniques to dodge.
But Lin Xitong was too fast, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of the two.
Ye Xiaobai stopped hiding and directly released the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard and a sixth-tier puppet to join the battle.
Fortunately, the puppet's resistance allowed Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei to breathe a sigh of relief. However, even the sixth-tier puppet struggled to withstand Lin Xitong's relentless attacks, its body cracking more and more, clearly reaching its limit.
"What should we do?" Ye Xiaobai looked at the puppet, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew that if the puppet suffered another heavy blow, it would probably be completely destroyed. Besides, Ye Xiaobai only had a few fifth-tier puppets at his disposal, but their strength was far inferior to that of sixth-tier puppets, making it almost impossible for them to withstand Lin Xitong's attacks.
Liu Rumei's face was pale. She looked at Lin Xitong, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes. She knew that with their current strength, they were no match for this powerful opponent. But she did not give up. Instead, she gripped her natal ethereal copper ring tightly, ready to strike at any moment.
Just then, Lin Xitong launched another attack. His sword flashed with dazzling light, carrying boundless killing intent, and thrust straight at the puppet. Although the puppet fought back fiercely, it was still struck by Lin Xitong's sword and instantly collapsed into a pile of scrap metal.
Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei were both stunned. They hadn't expected Lin Xitong to be so powerful, easily defeating a sixth-order puppet.
With no other option, Ye Xiaobai could only use the remaining fifth-tier puppets to wear down Lin Xitong's strength. Sure enough, with the help of the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard, four more fifth-tier puppets were destroyed before he was able to defeat Lin Xitong.
