A fierce expression immediately formed on Lin Dong’s face.
“Junior Brothers, set up a sword formation! We will break it once we kill the flying yaksha. As for that Jiuxiao Sect disciple! Ignore him!”
“Yes!”
While he was speaking, Lin Dong suddenly waved his hand.
Abruptly, a long golden-colored rope that had a few purple-gold bells tied to it flew out from his hand like a spirit snake and bound the flying yaksha.
At the same time, Lin Dong summoned a blue flying sword, and it shot into the air and slashed towards the demon monster.
The other Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples each took out their own flying swords, and together with Lin Dong’s blue flying sword, they formed a five-pointed star formation in the air.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The five-pointed star formation took the form of five flying swords. They were influenced by each other’s mana, and their power increased steadily as they spun in the air, forming a sword pillar that was as thick as a bucket. The pillar spun and twisted violently, and a harsh gust of wind blew through the pyramid.
Immediately, the fierce battle began!
“Heavenly rooster sun chain!”
The flying yaksha had been about to make a move when it suddenly saw the long rope fly out from the hands of the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciple. The rope emitted a strong realgar smell that spread with the wind. As soon as the demon general smelled the scent, it felt its muscles go numb, and the rope wrapped around it.
Lin Dong knew that the rope was a magical treasure.
It was made of ten-thousand-year-old realgar essence that had been mixed with various natural treasures as well as five-colored roosters that had been hatched at the peak of their yhang energy. The blood from the rooster’s crest had been calcined in the pill furnace of the Yu Hua Sect. It had then been refined by an extremely powerful elder and infused with mana. The rope was specially used to counter the earth demons.
As long as an ordinary earth demon was tied up, it would be unconscious.
However, the flying yaksha was not an ordinary demon!
Although it was tied up, it would definitely not surrender!
On the side, Lin An watched the scene with great interest.
Since the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples had already launched an attack against the flying yaksha, he did not want to interfere.
However, the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples assumed that Lin An was scared out of his wits!
Hence, they treated him as if he did not exist.
The flying yaksha posed the greatest threat, so killing it was their topmost priority. Once they succeeded, they would turn their attention to the insolent Jiuxiao Sect disciple.
Nevertheless, the flying yaksha was not an ordinary demon. Many disciples had perished in the past after getting struck by its demonic claws, but the Heavenly Mystery disciples cautiously continued attacking the demon general.
“This is an excellent opportunity to sharpen your skills and fight!”
“The flying yaksha is indeed extraordinary! All of you retreat! I will do it!”
“Watch the sword!”
Lin Dong’s magnetic voice boomed through the pyramid.
Suddenly, the flying yaksha’s body emitted a red light as it flew into the air. It violently pounced, but its strength had been greatly reduced, and the blue flying sword pierced through its heart.
Lin An, who was standing by the side, smiled slightly when he saw the scene before him.
He was in no hurry to take part in the battle.
The arcane voice in the pyramid had explained the rules clearly, and he knew that the trial was still in its infant stage.
Battling the flying yaksha was merely the beginning of the trial.
Nonetheless, Lin An could tell that the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples were well skilled.
This was especially so for their leader, the man called Lin Dong. The magic treasures in his possession seemed to be effective.
However, the current situation was still dangerous.
“Do you think it’s over! Hehehe!”
Suddenly, an ear-piercing shriek rang out.
A second devil-like creature had once again agglomerated in the middle of the pyramid!
“An earth test king!”
The earth test king was a devil above the flying yaksha. Its mouth was filled with sharp teeth, but there were no flesh wings on its back. Instead, there were two battle flags. It was rumored that as long as the earth test king waved one battle flag, it could kill a nascent soul stage cultivator!
Upon seeing the scene, Lin Dong hurriedly retreated.
With lingering fear in his heart, he said, “This is not good. The creature that just appeared is the geodesic king, an existence comparable to the flying yaksha. Damn it! I knew the trial wouldn’t be that simple!”
“It’s all Lin An’s fault. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have to risk our lives!”
“Don’t worry, as junior brothers, we still have the Heavenly Mystery Sect’s sword formation, which can defend against most of the geodesic king’s damage. We also have a chance of killing it!”
The might of the sword formation was the foundation of the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
Although the disciples had trained in a simplified version of the formation, it was still very effective.
However, at that moment, a black fog suddenly accompanied the vast demonic sound. The sound waves abruptly agglomerated into many long spears that ruthlessly pierced towards the defensive sword formation of the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
“Myriad phenomena!”
Suddenly, Lin Dong shut his eyes and clenched his fists.
After mustering his strength for about three breaths, his eyes were suddenly opened, and an enormous lightning blade suddenly exploded through the black fog. The lightning blade transformed into tens of thousands of rotating blade lights, and countless scenic images appeared within the blade lights.
There were houses, palaces, cities, trees, flowers, mountains, immortals, lightning, flames, heavenly wind, dragon and tiger, and all sorts of phenomena rotating within the blade lights.
Soon, the geodetic king’s attack was torn apart, and all of a sudden it was gone.
The black fog in the pyramid immediately cleared and revealed a glimmer of light.
“Hahaha! I knew it. The monster didn’t stand a chance against Lin Dong!”
“I did not expect him to use such superb power!”
“Senior Brother Lin Dong is really formidable. He is indeed worthy of being the leader of our Heavenly Mystery Sect.”
The Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples could not help but flatter their leader, and Lin Dong seemed at ease with the flattery.
“Stand by, I think there’s an attack coming!”
After saying this, Lin Dong uneasily glanced at Lin An, who was still standing at the side. When he saw that Lin An did not have any intention to attack, he felt at ease.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples were currently facing a challenge. If Lin An caused trouble, it would ultimately affect the mental state of the disciples.
Once he saw that Lin An did not have any intention to attack, Lin Dong immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, at that moment, the geodesic king pulled out the long flag on its body.
“Roar! Prepare to die, human!”
After letting out the loud roar, the monster suddenly waved its hand!
Abruptly, an intense wind blew wildly within the inner space of the pyramid.
Its force was similar to tens of thousands of sharp blades cutting through a human’s skin.
Soon, the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciple’s sword formation emitted a crackling sound, and the disciples began to feel exhausted.
“Senior Brother Lin Dong. I feel that the sword formation is about to collapse!”
“Don’t be afraid. Hold on for now. I still have another magic treasure!”
After assuring the disciples, Lin Dong frantically fished out a small bell from his spatial bag.
The bell was an opportunity that he had unintentionally obtained.
He did not have a detailed description of the small bell. All he knew was that the bell was a powerful defensive treasure.
Under Lin Dong’s control, the small bell quickly grew bigger and transformed into a transparent bell shape. In the next instant, it enveloped the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples.
Suddenly, several notifications from the success rate system appeared in Lin An’s eyes.
[The success rate of the Eastern Emperor Bell blocking the demon’s attack is 50%!]
[Using the Eastern Emperor Bell can increase the host’s peak foundation establishment stage cultivation by 10%!]
‘This Eastern Emperor Bell can actually affect the Scripture of No Beginning!’
When Lin An saw the scene in front of him, a trace of joy immediately flashed in his heart!
