Li Xinghe let out a distant cry, "Brother, you have died a tragic death!" without shedding a single tear.
At this time, Nangong Zhendong was gradually gaining the upper hand in his fight against Cangshan. He was somewhat shocked to see Mo Qi kill Li Xingyuan, but he felt that everything was still within his control, so the turmoil in his heart was not immense.
"Mo Qi, you interfered in sect affairs and killed a ladder official without authorization. What crime do you deserve?" Nangong Zhendong said calmly while attacking Cangshan.
His composed demeanor made him appear to be handling things with ease.
Mo Qi's lips curled, "Haven't you interfered in sect affairs enough? And you dare to be the first to accuse. If you want to play the official with me, I can add another charge: insubordination and disrespect for superiors."
"Do you still remember how you groveled before me last year, begging with snot and tears? That was your true self. Don't put on such a proud and arrogant act, it makes me sick."
Nangong Zhendong roared in anger. The past few years were probably the darkest moments of his life, a period he never wished to mention or recall, as the mere thought of it brought him unbearable pain.
Initially, Nangong Zhendong's dark curtain continuously pressed down on Cangshan.
Cangshan's dark energy tore through the dark curtain layer by layer, but the dark curtain could continuously self-repair. A small hole would open only to be quickly restored.
The pressure exerted by the dark curtain on Cangshan grew increasingly intense.
From a distance, Cangshan could feel a tremendous force approaching, almost crushing him. His internal organs felt as if they were about to burst out.
At this moment, due to Nangong Zhendong's overflowing rage and disordered aura, with spiritual energy spilling out, the dark curtain showed signs of stagnation.
Seeing the opportunity, Mo Qi immediately unleashed the Dragon Subduing Pearl, which emitted a dazzling light and swept towards the dark curtain.
The dark curtain began to melt away at a visible speed.
A white light surged towards Nangong Zhendong.
Seeing Mo Qi join the fight and stand shoulder to shoulder with him, Cangshan was invigorated. He immediately formed hand seals and fully channeled his spiritual power.
The dark energy rolled like waves, engulfing the heavens and earth, emitting sounds like wailing ghosts and howling spirits.
The distinct black and white colors struck the dark curtain together. The dark curtain rapidly disintegrated and retreated.
The Sky Curtain Sword shook violently, almost falling to the ground.
With the formation of a two-on-one situation, Nangong Zhendong was immediately put on the defensive.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but his body did not move an inch. His face, however, was covered with a ferocious smile.
Just as the dark curtain was about to crumble and vanish, Nangong Zhendong's body suddenly began to glow. A ball of red light enveloped him, its brilliance blinding, obscuring his form and appearance.
Simultaneously, four streams of light flowed in from four directions, like four small streams, continuously pouring into his body.
His body seemed to be nourished, expanding considerably. The sound of bones creaking could almost be heard.
At the same time, the Sky Curtain Sword's radiance surged.
The dark curtain once again swept forward, connecting heaven and earth.
It advanced unstoppable, like a black mountain range.
The dark energy was rapidly absorbed, becoming part of the dark curtain instead.
Along with it, Cangshan's body seemed to be drained, his entire form withering. He felt his spiritual power being devoured bit by bit.
Cangshan was greatly alarmed and hastily formed hand seals, attempting to stop the output of his spiritual energy.
However, his internal spiritual energy was beyond his control, surging outwards like water from a breached dam.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi felt an unprecedented pressure.
The white light rapidly contracted as the dark curtain surged forward. Waves of undercurrents violently crashed, causing Mo Qi's blood and qi to churn, his bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart.
He glanced at Cangshan from the corner of his eye and found that his situation was even worse than his own.
It seemed that his own strength was being diverted to deal with him.
If no countermeasures were taken, they would both die here.
Mo Qi hastily unleashed the Golden Light Teleportation Technique. The dark curtain rapidly expanded and struck.
Mo Qi dodged from the edge, attempting to escape the dark curtain's attack range, and moved towards the outer perimeter.
Suddenly, a light barrier appeared. His body collided with it, being flung back, and his true form was revealed.
Mo Qi fell to the ground, sustaining no light injuries. At this moment, the dark curtain roared and swept towards him again.
He quickly analyzed the situation before him.
The four people who had come with Nangong Zhendong earlier had disappeared. They must have been hidden in four directions, forming a formation.
This formation not only trapped the two of them but also concentrated the powers of those four individuals onto Nangong Zhendong alone.
Furthermore, when encountering an attacked target with the same elemental attribute, it could simultaneously absorb and transfer their power to be used against attacked targets with different elemental attributes who were still resisting.
At this time, Cangshan's body rapidly withered. His face, which was originally ruddy and full of muscle, quickly became gaunt, almost resembling a skeleton.
The disciples of the Lingdu Sect watching from the periphery saw this and were greatly encouraged.
Those who had been preparing to flee broke out in a cold sweat, thankful they hadn't run.
If they had run, they would have been doomed.
At this moment, they all had only one thought: may the two trapped in the formation die quickly, die thoroughly.
However, Gou Nandong could no longer stay put. Believing that everyone's attention was not on him, he quietly retreated, preparing to slip away from everyone's sight before taking flight on his cloud.
However, Li Xinghe suddenly looked at him and said coldly, "Where do you think you're going?"
Gou Nandong stopped in his tracks and stared back at Li Xinghe with defiance. Being stared at, he no longer felt afraid.
Li Xingyuan is already dead, why should I fear you?
But at this moment, Li Xinghe had not recognized the situation. He believed he could still rely on the Nangong family.
In reality, the Nangong family had allied with the Li family because of Li Xingyuan.
Now that Li Xingyuan was dead, they would not care about the life or death of any member of the Li family.
Seeing that Gou Nandong was actually confronting him, Li Xinghe was furious. He immediately unleashed his flying sword and attacked Gou Nandong.
Gou Nandong showed no weakness and also unleashed his flying sword to resist.
The two fought fiercely, neither giving ground.
The others at this time were watching coldly, not daring to take sides easily.
Li Xinghe shouted at Wang Fuqu and the others, "Stop watching the show and help me quickly!"
These people all agreed with full mouths, "Oh, okay," but made no move.
The formation activated by Nangong Zhendong and others was called the Four Symbols Heavenly Gate Town. Those four individuals were the Four Symbols, and Nangong Zhendong was the so-called Heavenly Gate.
The positions of the Four Symbols shifted unpredictably, their traces difficult to find, while the Heavenly Gate remained stationary.
To break the formation, it seemed only by breaking the Heavenly Gate.
That is, to confront it head-on.
It was to allow the opponent's formation to function to its fullest.
Clearly, Mo Qi did not want him to have his way.
At this moment, he unleashed the Qiankun Circle, allowing its light to temporarily hold back the dark curtain.
The dark curtain still surged forward, but its speed had significantly slowed. Mo Qi seized the opportunity to breathe and activated the Qiankun Mirror, causing a ripple to appear before his eyes.
Within the ripple, he saw Nangong Zhenbei and the other three elders within the formation. Da Feng Novel Network
These four individuals were shifting and moving rapidly.
But without the concealment of the formation, their speed was insignificant in Mo Qi's eyes.
Mo Qi quickly flicked several fingers towards the ripple, accompanied by whistling sounds as they cut through the air.
Several screams were heard, and the elders and Nangong Zhenbei fell to the ground in the distance.
The clear blue sky reappeared. It was then that Mo Qi realized there had been no sky within the formation before.
Deprived of his source of spiritual energy, Nangong Zhendong weakened considerably.
The devouring force instantly vanished.
The spiritual energy lost from Cangshan's body gradually flowed back.
Cangshan's previously depleted face gradually became full again.
Nangong Zhendong, initially full of confidence and high spirits, suddenly found the immense external power gone without a trace.
He had been completely immersed in the control of power and had no idea what had happened.
It was then that he looked around and saw that the four individuals were already dead, and he was filled with terror.
At the same time, he felt his power beginning to drain. Acting on impulse, he hastily pointed his hand, and the dark curtain surged violently, causing the Qiankun Circle to shake, its light rapidly contracting.
At this moment, he pointed his hand again, quickly retracted the Sky Curtain Sword, and the dark curtain dissipated.
With one side waxing and the other waning, the Qiankun Circle and Cangshan's dark energy surged, striking Nangong Zhendong like a tidal wave.
Nangong Zhendong swayed his body and transformed into a stream of green light, fleeing.
With a thunderous roar, in the place where he had been, sand and stones flew, and smoke billowed. After a moment, a large pit appeared on the ground.
Nangong Zhendong wanted to escape, but how could Mo Qi let him succeed? He immediately unleashed the Golden Light Teleportation Technique and pursued him.
