g. Lu Xia Tian drew his hands back, and the ethereal flying sword drifted over. Threads of sword patterns rippled outwards, pushing the surrounding seawater away. It seemed like an endless abyss, a th...I... Nan Xuan Yu felt a surge of blood, almost choking him. Before this, Si Kong Jian Dao hadn't claimed to be a Fourth Rank Pill King.

"Several senior brothers, what happened" asked Qi Ying, a junior sister beside Xiang Qingcheng, with a puzzled expression.

“Perhaps Nan Xuanyu felt these water demons were too difficult to deal with and wanted to rest,” Si Kongjian added another jab at Nan Xuanyu. Although right now, Lu Xiaottian’s threat seemed bigger than Nan Xuanyu’s, any competitor less was always a good thing between two rivals.

"Fellow Daoist Sikuang, where are you getting your words from I've just entered the fray. This Shui Yin Demon is not a late-stage Old Demon after all, how could it be so hard to deal with." Nan Xuanyu naturally wouldn't accept Sikong Jian saying that he could only last this long.

"That's true, Senior Brother Nan Xuan is incredibly powerful. Dealing with some ordinary Shuiyin demons would be child's play for him."

For Nan Xuanyu, dealing with the more troublesome Shuiyin Yao Dan than before was already a burden. Now he also had to deal with Si Kong Jian Dao's sarcastic remarks on the side, which was simply double torture. Nan Xuanyu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. How could he not have noticed that Si Kong Jian Dao's mouth was so annoying in the past

Lu Xia Tian didn't provoke Nan Xuan Yu any further, instead focusing on recovering his depleted energy. Though Nan Xuan Yu currently viewed both him and Si Kong Jian Dao as frauds, it was actually Si Kong Jian Dao who had deceived him. Lu Xia Tian's words were genuine; dealing with those Shui Yin demons wasn't difficult for him.

The might of the Shuiyin Yao dan lies in its sudden attacks. These Shuiyin jiao, taking advantage of the favorable terrain of Biyue Yaoci, are extremely stealthy, almost silent and invisible. Even from a slight distance, their exact location cannot be discerned by divine sense, making it impossible to counter them head-on.

By the time his presence was detected, he had already gotten dangerously close. If it were just one or two attacks, it would still be manageable given that Sikong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu's reaction speeds were quite capable of dealing with them easily. However, there were several attacks coming at once, forcing the two to rely solely on their immense strength to withstand them. This naturally doubled their consumption of energy, not to mention that a slight misstep could leave them looking rather disheveled.

The Water Hiding Demon Thorn is difficult to detect, and it depends on the person. For someone like Si Kong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu, this might be true. But for Lu Xiao Tian, whose primordial spirit had already surpassed the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, finding a Water Hiding Demon hiding in the Bi Shui Yao Chi was not that difficult. However, once it made a move, before the emerald ripples even appeared, Lu Xiao Tian would already sense its presence.

Compared to Si Kong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu's approach of casting a wide net to counter attacks, Lu Xiao Tian adopts a precise defense. Therefore, he can easily handle more attacks with less power.

As a body cultivator, Lu Xia Tian's physical prowess was naturally far superior to that of Si Kong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu. Lu Xia Tian only needed to use his methods to cushion part of the Water Hidden Demon's attack, leaving the rest to strike him. He didn't even need to activate his Five Elements Magnetic Golden Armor to remain unscathed as he effortlessly deflected them.

As for Sikong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu, Lu Xia Tian looked like he was only at the early stage of Heding. The methods Lu Xia Tian used seemed ordinary to the extreme, already comparable to the strategies of a late-stage He Ding powerhouse. In contrast, the difference between them was immediately apparent.

It's just that Simao Jian Dao and Nan Xuanyu couldn't see through Lu Xiaoteng's abilities.

“The Shui Yin Yao’s attacks have become even more ferocious.” Nan Xuan Yu was still trying to maintain his dignity, but Lu Xiao Tian frowned secretly. Several water-hidden demon jabs shot from afar, surpassing their previous strength. Nan Xuan Yu hadn't noticed yet.

Lu XiaTian could sense that the several Shuiyin demons who had just attacked him were significantly stronger. It seemed they were waiting for this attack.

Lu Xia Tian glanced at Xiang Qing Cheng, discovering that Xiang Qing Cheng actually had signs of making a move. Several people's divine senses that were rolled out couldn't escape Lu Xia Tian's perception. Xiang Qing Cheng's primordial spirit was not weak, and it had not yet exceeded the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It was just that Xiang Qing Cheng's divine sense seemed to be even more at ease in this Bi Shui Yao Chi.

As a cultivator of the water system, it is reasonable that his perception is more sensitive than that of ordinary cultivators in this special spiritual place, Bi Shui Yao Chi.

Even Lianxiang was taking action, so Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't just stand by. In an instant, his figure flashed, intercepting Nan Xuan Yu's left side with a speed that seemed slow but was actually incredibly fast.

Nán Xuán yù looked at Lù Xiǎo tiān in surprise, thinking that he and Sī Kǒng jiàn dào would really just watch from the sidelines. Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Lù Xiǎo tiān took the initiative to join the fray.

Lu XiaTian extended his hand forward, and a blood gang force split from the palm of his hand into two, forming two blood-colored vortexes like trumpets.

Three Water Concealing Demon jabs came shooting towards them, two of which were intercepted by blood-colored vortexes formed by the power of the Blood Gang. The blood-colored vortexes couldn't directly block the Water Concealing Demon's attacks. However, once these incredibly powerful Water Concealing Demon jabs entered the blood-colored vortexes, their firing speed was constantly being slowed down.

Unlike other Water Concealing Demon Needles which once thoroughly defeated would transform into emerald green smoke and vanish, until the very end, these two Water Concealing Demon Needles remained. Even though their form had been depleted by half, they still revealed two emerald green thorns, as thick as embroidered needles and as flexible as cow hair.

Now stripped of its former aggression, the two green spikes still struggled valiantly, trying to break free.

On the other side, Nan Xuan Yu only needed to deal with one attack, allowing him to concentrate his efforts on intercepting the green thorn.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

"Demon gall, spiked!" Nan Xuanyu looked surprised. Then he glanced at Lu Xiaoteng, "It seems you can recognize the water-hidden demon gall's attack"

"Yes, it's more relaxed." Lu XiaTian nodded truthfully.

The places on Nan Xuan Yu's body where she had been wounded by the Shui Yin Yao suddenly ached again, and the sliver of goodwill she had just started to feel for Lu Xiao Tian instantly vanished.

“It seems like our trip this time won't be too smooth. Little Sister Dan, you mustn't be as reckless as last time.” Si Kong Jian Dao said seriously for once.

"We'll talk about it later. If these water demons aren't dealt with, the path ahead will be fraught with difficulties." Xiang Qingcheng said with a slight frown.

"I have a pill in my hand, specifically designed to lure water-hiding demons. However, it's not easy to dispel their vigilance. There are also too many risks with a large group. One person needs to place this pill in an easily ambushed location, and several others should cast spells from the sidelines. When the water-hiding demon is lured into a specific area, they will all join forces to cast spells. These demons excel at hiding their forms, but once we've tricked them into a vulnerable position, it will be much easier to deal with them."

Sikong Jian Dao turned his gaze to Lu Xia Tian, "You may appear ordinary in your cultivation methods, but there's something extraordinary about you. You are the perfect candidate to place that spiritual pill."

“To place that elixir, even the slightest misstep could lead to an ambush by the demon horde. Even a late-stage body cultivator would find it difficult to escape if they didn't know how. I'll go instead.” Xiang Qingcheng shook her head.er searching for quite some time, I never expected you to be hiding here. This is even better, using this Buddha Soul Heavenly Derivation Formation actually lured out a cultivator of the secret sect’s...
