Chapter 917: Chapter 198: Jade Ruyi Restrains Sword Light, Divine Thunder of the Upper God Shakes the Four Directions

Gongyang Sheng had no choice but to step in and help again. However, after just two exchanges with Zhang Yan, two of his personal magical artifacts had already been damaged. Unwilling to use common items to make up the numbers, he shook his body, and from the gang cloud above his head, he took out a quaintly styled Jade Ruyi. It floated amidst swirling mist, rising and falling. With a slight urging, a beam of clear light immediately cascaded down, penetrating straight into the Earth Fire Sky Pit Forbidden Array below, illuminating everything in minute detail.

Sixteen beams of sword light were obstructed as if they had entered thick mud, their momentum suddenly slowed.

At this moment, Sha Daoist shouted loudly, "Senior Brother, together let’s kill Daoist Zhang!"

He initially intended to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, forcing the enemy to save their comrade, but since Zhang Yan had already been alerted by a sense of danger, he was on guard. Therefore, he wore both the "Seven Stars Restraining Yang Robe" and the "Jingluo Escape Treasure Protective Clothing," making it difficult for ordinary Dharma Treasures to harm him.

Sha Daoist could not move him with his strength alone, but if several people united, the chances of success would greatly increase.

Gongyang Sheng, having been reminded, shifted his focus. He, too, quickly decided, saying, "Nephew Rui, quickly go and assist him. Fellow daoists, join me in besieging Daoist Zhang!"

Rui Daoist, having received the order, was about to rush down to rescue Ye Jijiu before the flying sword arrived.

Zhang Yan had just found an opportunity and wouldn’t let the opponent rescue their person. Spreading his sleeves wide, 365 drops of You Yin Heavy Water flew out together, scattering in all directions,

The crowd had previously witnessed the power of this item, so they had no choice but to halt their attacks to protect themselves.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yan made up his mind to recall the Star Sword Ball.

Unexpectedly, the Jade Ruyi that Gongyang Sheng held above his head was quite divine, and the light it emitted covered it like an umbrella. The Star Sword Ball, after several attempts, could not break through at the edge.

Gongyang Sheng, seeing Zhang Yan fend off the incoming You Yin Heavy Water, witnessed this scene and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Five hundred years ago, during the battle between Central Pillar Continent and the Shaoqing, he had narrowly escaped with his life. Since then, having witnessed the power of the flying sword, he had always thought about how to resist this technique.

And this Jade Ruyi was refined specifically to trap flying swords, even if a disciple of the Shaoqing Sect personally tamed a flying sword to attack, he was confident in being able to restrain it to some extent.

Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. Ever since stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm, the sword control dharma techniques he had learned were hard to keep up with his current cultivation level. Therefore, he didn’t rely on them as his main tool. Originally, he had wanted to find an opening to first slay Ye Jijiu with the sword here, but now it seemed impossible.

However, he had many methods at his disposal and was confident that he could take down this person without using that method.

But this delay allowed the other elders of the Lie Xuan Sect to fend off the You Yin Heavy Water and catch their breath.

Gongyang Sheng didn’t hesitate either. Secretly forming a spell, he caused another pitch-black iron ruler to fly out from the gang cloud above his head. Seeing him take action, the rest followed suit, sacrificing their convenient Dharma Treasures, all aimed at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold light. With a wave of his robe sleeves, he scattered more than fifty Red Thunder Beads, the True Light of the Water Element under his feet rising and swirling upward, supporting these treasures. Instantly, white foam splashed and a thousand waves of jade surged,

Among these treasures, the iron ruler led the way under its owner’s full power. The True Light of the Water Element found it difficult to capture and control, but the continuous water waves, while coming and going, also slowed its descent.

Gongyang Sheng saw dozens of red flying beads coming towards him. Initially thinking they were similar to the You Yin Heavy Water, he intended to block them just as before. But when the items reached his eyes, his expression suddenly changed, and he roared, "Dodge quickly!"

The others reacted the same at first, not paying it much mind. But upon hearing his warning and realizing these items were not simple, they found it too late to evade. They could only sacrifice protective Dharma Treasures, bracing themselves to bear it.

The clouds resounded with earth-shattering blasts, as if the Heavenly Land were collapsing. Despite the protection of treasures, five people, including Gongyang Sheng, found their blood and energy boiling, their robes torn and tattered, retreating messily for miles before halting.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Yan pointed his finger, gathering the 365 drops of You Yin Heavy Water once more, like a raging tide, rushing towards Ye Jijiu.

Nearby, Rui Daoist had just reached closer to Ye Jijiu, preparing to deal with the Five Spirit White Carp Shuttle with combined efforts. But hearing a roar from behind and looking back, he was shocked, quickly taking out a banner. With a shake in the wind, it transformed into a large five-zhang form, standing before him.

However, just a few dozen drops of You Yin Heavy Water had already been enough to keep people busy; now, with all of them here, within a few breaths, the banner was tattered.

He hastily abandoned the item, sacrificing a Jade Talisman next, which only held out for a moment before it, too, shattered. The remaining less than 20% of You Yin Heavy Water struck the protective treasure light. Rui Daoist was violently shaken, his light scattered, spewing several mouthfuls of blood, and was knocked back.

Zhang Yan took a step forward, like a flash of light and shadow, piercing through a hundred-zhang distance in a blink. When he reappeared, he was less than ten zhàng from Ye Jijiu. Raising his hand, he pointed forward, unleashing a purple thunder light, like sweeping the universe, erupting with sound.

Ye Jijiu, driven by a desperate courage, knew there was no escape and no way to survive. He gritted his teeth, instead channeling all his mana into a ferocious counterattack, wielding the Dragon Centipede Sword with full force. A silver flash, faster than lightning, headed straight for Zhang Yan, hoping to slay his formidable enemy first.

But just as the Dharma Sword flew out, the Five Spirit White Carp Shuttle let out a shriek, charging from the side and knocking it aside.

By then, the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder was already upon him. With his protective treasure light shattered and his Dharma Sword dislodged, facing this deadly strike, he had no means to resist. His body exploded into dust before he could even let out a scream. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Seeing such a tragic scene, Rui Daoist was terrified beyond measure. Seeing Zhang Yan with his back turned, he wasted no time running away, only for a thread-like golden light to silently flash over him while he was still fleeing, disappearing instantly.

After running several dozen zhàng, his body suddenly stiffened, and with a cry, his body split in half at the waist, tumbling from the sky.
