Chapter 208: A Counter-Plot
The 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' made its move, shattering the countless golden light blades.
"A mere second-tier formation dares to try and deal with me... It's wishful thinking!" As the golden light blade in the sky dissipated, Fu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze sharpened as he looked down at Zhu Yaqin in the air and said coldly, "Young lady of the Zhu family, I'll give you a chance. Hand over the inheritance that the Zhu family obtained in the ancient ruins... Otherwise, this place will be your burial ground."
"Fu Yun, you old scoundrel, do you really think that with the help of this mid-stage second-tier beast, you can contend with us?"
Zhu Yaqin spoke in a cold, detached tone.
"What, you still have tricks up your sleeve?" Fu Yun's gaze sharpened as he asked.
"Of course..." Zhu Yaqin said, "This is the burial place I specially chose for you!"
She moved gracefully as she spoke.
At your feet, vibrant flowers bloom, stretching upwards like a bridge of blossoms.
This is the extraordinary phenomenon of Zhu Yaqin's immortal foundation: "A hundred flowers blooming in clusters of Yi wood."
A powerful aura of vegetation swept away.
"Is that so!" Just then, a cold, eerie voice rang out beside Zhu Yaqin.
Beside her, light flickered, and a bead shimmering with a ghostly glow flew over.
The beads are like flower buds, with flames seemingly brewing within them.
As it flew toward Zhu Yaqin, the flower buds bloomed, and a faint light shone from within, just like fireworks.
A burst of fiery power erupted in all directions, creating ripples in the air.
Then, metal buds shot out like sharp blades, trying to pierce Zhu Yaqin's body.
The person who made the move was none other than Zhu Yulin, who had just attacked Fu Yun.
At this moment, as she made her move, she immediately retreated three zhang and conjured a "golden light shield" to protect herself.
Clearly, this was a meticulously planned sneak attack.
But just as the bud-like magical artifact exploded, Zhu Yulin's pupils suddenly contracted.
"How is this possible..." Almost at the same time, Zhu Yaqin, who was walking towards Fu Yun, suddenly felt a gust of wind rise beneath her, carrying her rapidly to the side and into the air. At the same time, she also summoned a second-tier talisman.
"Golden Shield".
A golden light enveloped it.
They successfully blocked both the flames and the blades of flower buds.
Taking advantage of the impact, Zhu Yaqin's body retreated several feet.
After regaining her balance, she simply looked coldly at Zhu Yulin below.
His eyes held both sorrow and indifference.
"You...you had foreseen this all along?" Upon seeing this, Zhu Yulin's eyes showed a look of realization.
Just as she opened her mouth.
High in the sky, golden light burst forth, and golden blades of light, like shooting stars, crashed down upon Zhu Yulin.
A dazzling golden light poured down, illuminating the valley.
Zhu Yulin felt an intense light overhead, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind.
Even with the "golden light shield" protecting her, she still felt her soul tremble, and a great fear surged into her heart.
She immediately looked up and saw the sky filled with "golden blades of light".
That light blade is too fast.
It's almost instantaneous.
She activated it as soon as she unleashed the second-tier spiritual artifact, "Netherflame Bud".
Therefore, while Zhu Yulin was surprised that Zhu Yaqin had avoided the surprise attack, the golden blade had already fallen.
"Fu Lang... save me!" Zhu Yulin cried out in alarm as the light blades rained down like a meteor shower.
At the same time, she guided her hands and with a thought, the extraordinary phenomenon of the Immortal Foundation within her dantian manifested.
But then she saw a misty haze, and a pale peony flower emerged from her dantian.
Along with this, a vast and boundless surge of magical power erupted forth.
call!
Just as the peony was in full bloom, hanging about ten feet above Zhu Yulian's head, countless golden blades of light swept down and pierced the flower.
Under that golden light, the peony flower shattered and was annihilated by the golden light.
Even with all her might, Zhu Yulin, who was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was unable to withstand the full force of this second-tier mid-grade formation's attack. The sword light blades descended and pierced the golden light shield that Zhu Yulin had condensed with second-tier talismans.
Bang, bang!
A series of crisp sounds rang out.
However, cracks appeared in the golden light shield above Zhu Yulin's head.
The celestial foundation phenomenon was shattered, and under the pull of the energy, she staggered backward within the golden light shield.
A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
She looked at Fu Yun with a face full of fear.
It turned out that her attack on Fu Yun earlier was just an act.
His aim was to find an opportunity to get close to Zhu Yaqin and then assassinate her.
Little did anyone know, Zhu Yaqin had already anticipated this.
On the other side, Ruan Zhitu seemed to be gathering the power of an array to deal with Fu Yun.
Unexpectedly, he turned his attack on Zhu Yulin, clearly intending to deal with this early Foundation Establishment cultivator first.
In this way, dealing with Fu Yun and the 'Nether Cloud Leopard' will be much easier.
When the countless golden blades of light struck Zhu Yulin, Fu Yun's pupils contracted, revealing a look of surprise.
To his surprise, Zhu Yaqin had anticipated Zhu Yulin's ambush and managed to evade it in time.
Ruan Zhitu quickly gathered a 'Golden Blade' and attacked Zhu Yulin.
Everything seemed to have been planned in advance.
If Zhu Yaqin and Zhu Yulin truly had an ordinary relationship, Fu Yun wouldn't be surprised.
To his surprise...
Nine years ago, Zhu Yaqin had already sought out Zhu Yulin.
The two had long planned to lure Fu Yun out and then ambush and kill him.
Even the second-tier spiritual item that Zhu Yulin used for Foundation Establishment, the "Peony of the Hidden Garden," was a gift from Zhu Yaqin.
Zhu Yaqin deliberately consigned her to a shop, where she was bought by Zhu Yulin.
The two even planned to lure Fu Yun out today.
At a crucial moment, Zhu Yulin was instructed to attack and injure him.
Therefore, by activating the grand formation and employing various other methods, it would not be difficult to kill Fu Yun, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
However, Zhu Yulin had already informed Fu Yun of this plan long ago.
Fu Yun instructed him to play along and planned to capture Zhu Yaqin today.
Fu Yun had anticipated that Zhu Yulin would attack Zhu Yaqin.
He is also waiting for the moment of success.
Who would have thought that such a strange change would occur?
"I underestimated this girl!" Fu Yun thought to himself, without hesitation.
He used his divine sense to control the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' beside him, and it leaped up, instantly appearing three zhang away. It opened its leopard maw and spewed out a stream of demonic energy that rushed towards the golden light blades that were piercing Zhu Yulin.
"Hmph..." However, as soon as the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' flew out, Zhu Yaqin let out a cold snort.
But then she made a hand gesture, and the spirit beast pouch at her waist flashed with light, immediately emitting a faint glow.
Accompanying this was a buzzing sound, which continued to grow louder and louder.
In the end, it sent chills down my spine.
"That is..." Fu Yun stared intently.
But then a swarm of flying insects, their thin wings shimmering with crimson and gold light, flew rapidly toward the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' in front of Zhu Yaqin.
These flying insects were so fast, and their numbers kept increasing, instantly turning into a cloud of insects.
It was only the demonic energy spewed out by the "Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard" that shattered the "Golden Blade" high in the sky.
The swarm of insects then split into two groups.
A beam of energy bypassed the point where the 'Golden Blade' clashed with the demonic energy and flew towards the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard'.
One wave swept directly down towards Zhu Yulin, whose body was protected by the 'golden light shield'.
These flying insects opened their mouthparts and began to gnaw at the "golden shield" protecting Zhu Yulin.
Beneath these flying insects, the already cracked "golden shield" was instantly gnawed open, creating a gap.
One by one, flying insects swarmed in and swept towards Zhu Yulin in the middle.
"No..." Upon seeing this, Zhu Yulin was terrified and immediately summoned a 'Blazing Flame Talisman'.
The talismans flew out, transforming into raging flames that swept towards those that had flown out.
At the same time, Zhu Yulin himself retreated rapidly to the rear.
However, when she unleashed her Flame Talisman, the flying insects immediately avoided the encroaching flames.
Immediately, the flying insects dispersed, then converged again from all directions, surrounding Zhu Yulin once more.
In the blink of an eye, the flying insects transformed into a large circle, trapping Zhu Yulin inside.
She was filled with fear and once again summoned the 'Blazing Flame Talisman'.
However, flying insects directly devoured the flames and flew through them, attacking her directly.
The ferocity of the insects, which were not afraid of the flames, filled Zhu Yulin with despair.
the other side.
A swarm of flying insects devoured the incoming demonic energy and instantly surrounded the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard'.
Flying insects landed on the 'Black-Patterned Clouded Leopard' and began to gnaw at its body, causing the 'Black-Patterned Clouded Leopard' to howl in pain.
Its demonic aura surged, causing some of the flying creatures to be blasted away.
However, there were too many flying insects, thousands upon thousands swarming in, and their hides were hard, as if forged from refined iron.
They were completely unafraid of the demonic aura of Foundation Establishment level cultivators.
The demonic aura released by the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' was completely unable to stop the attacking forces that were flying out.
In just two breaths, its body was instantly covered with insects.
In some areas, the bones have been gnawed away and are clearly visible.
"A swarm of insects... fearless of blades and fire, a swarm that can devour magic... You... you truly possess the legacy of an ancient relic!"
Upon seeing this, Fu Yun was shocked, but his eyes also burned with desire.
As the son-in-law of the Zhu family, he naturally knew that the clan had inherited the legacy from an ancient site in the Nanling Mountains.
Unfortunately, despite his repeated attempts, he was unable to find the right method.
Therefore, after more than a decade of preparation, he wiped out the Zhu family in one fell swoop.
Who would have thought that even after killing several Foundation Establishment cultivators, he still wouldn't have obtained that inherited secret technique.
This infuriated Fu Yun.
Finally, he learned from Zhu Yulin that the Zhu family had indeed obtained an ancient inheritance.
Unfortunately, no one has been able to unravel the mystery.
However, it seems that Zhu Yaqin uncovered some of the secrets.
In the past, the Zhu clan was destroyed, and Zhu Yaqin happened to go to the Yue Kingdom in order to completely unravel the secrets of its inheritance.
Who would have thought that before Zhu Yaqin could return, the Zhu family had already been wiped out.
This also allowed them to escape a calamity.
Now, Zhu Yaqin is seen controlling a swarm of flying insects, which actually devoured the demonic aura of a second-tier great demon.
This truly shocked and excited him.
After years of planning, the thing he had long coveted finally appeared before his eyes.
However, he quickly suppressed his excitement.
His gaze sharpened, and he looked up at the sky.
High in the sky, golden light writhed, and countless golden blades materialized, slashing down at Fu Yun.
"I've played with you for so long, it's time to end this!" Fu Yun's gaze turned cold, and then he made a hand gesture.
A talisman immediately flew out of the storage pouch at his waist.
