"We have to fight even if we can't win!"
Fan Ye, with his Mad Demon Sword in hand, entered his frenzied state again.
He charged directly at the Living Immortal, with Nong Qing and Ling Ge close behind.
Fan Ye was right, to do what is known to be impossible.
For the sake of the Moon Radiance Realm, they were willing to lay down their lives.
Seeing Fan Ye and the other two charge forward recklessly, the dozen or so sect leaders also gritted their teeth.
They spurred their cultivation and followed suit.
It wasn't that they weren't afraid of death, but if they didn't fight, they would only die.
The Living Immortal did not make a move. Yong Gaoya waved his horsetail whisk, and the wind and clouds surged.
He Lianna swung her peach wood sword, and lightning flashed, blocking everyone.
The Living Immortal, however, fixed his gaze on Ming Yue in the plaza.
He had not forgotten that the treasure from Sifang Mountain was still on Ming Yue.
Without any warning, his body suddenly vanished from its spot.
In an instant, he appeared beside Ming Yue, his right hand forming a claw.
Black energy permeated his hand as he lunged towards Ming Yue's head.
The Heavenly Demon was proficient in three thousand demonic arts, and this was his Sky Shattering Claw.
It meant that the power of one claw could shatter space.
Even before this claw reached her, it had already frozen Ming Yue's form.
She was unable to dodge. With Ming Yue's cultivation,
she absolutely could not withstand the power of this claw, the result would be a shattered skull and splattered brains.
Ming Yue sighed in her heart, all her hard work of several hundred years.
Her considerable fortune, all gone before she could enjoy it.
The Living Immortal was too fast, and his attack was sudden.
She didn't have time to activate the golden crown and could only close her eyes and await death.
She closed her eyes in terror. Zhu Ji, standing beside her, wanted to intervene but it was too late.
Moreover, with her meager cultivation, she couldn't stop it either.
She didn't even have time to scream, only to watch in horror.
The claw, enveloped in black energy, approached Ming Yue.
It was about to touch Ming Yue's head, but was powerless to proceed.
Just then, a soybean-sized flame.
Flashed above Ming Yue's head, and then, with a bang, the flame exploded.
It transformed into a raging inferno, engulfing Ming Yue.
The demonic energy on the Sky Shattering Claw met the flames and instantly melted like ice and snow. The Living Immortal abruptly withdrew his hand.
Because the high temperature of the flames had already burned his skin.
But he ignored his injured hand and shot upwards.
For a terrifying sword light was slashing towards his lower back.
It was emitted by Ji Shiyou's Moon Reflection Sword, and the golden-purple flames protecting Ming Yue.
Needless to say, it was the masterpiece of the Golden Crow Immortal.
After the explosion, they did not attack with Nong Qing and the others, but had been watching the Living Immortal.
Seeing him disappear and head towards Ming Yue, they immediately attacked together.
Before the Living Immortal could stabilize himself in the air, rolling waves of fire surged towards him.
It was the Golden Crow Immortal, attacking in anger.
Ming Yue was her reverse scale, and the Living Immortal dared to reach for Ming Yue, making her furious.
Therefore, she attacked without reservation, unleashing all the Golden Crow True Fire within her.
"Are you alright?"
Ji Shiyou did not pursue the Living Immortal but rushed to Ming Yue's side, asking anxiously.
If it weren't for Zhu Ji and Cheng Zui being nearby, he would have wanted to examine Ming Yue from head to toe to be reassured.
Ming Yue's eyes had opened, but her eyeballs were still, making her appear dazed and foolish.
"Ming Yue, how are you? Don't scare me!"
Zhu Ji cried out in fear upon seeing Ming Yue's state.
Just as she was about to examine her to see if she had sustained any hidden injuries, Ming Yue suddenly moved.
She quickly took out a lotus-shaped golden crown from her bosom.
She rapidly performed a set of complex hand seals, and the golden crown transformed into a giant golden lotus.
"You scared me to death. From now on,
I'll take root right here, and no one will make me leave!
No, the enemy is too strong, I need to strengthen my defenses."
Ming Yue zipped into the golden lotus with a whoosh, patting her chest.
Then she took out a storage bag from her bosom and began to search for offensive and defensive magical treasures.
Instantly, she set up a mobile fortress around the golden lotus.
Seeing this, Ji Shiyou knew.
Ming Yue was fine, she was just scared.
Just as he was about to walk over and give her some instructions.
He heard a bang, and a giant golden crow descended from the sky.
It slammed heavily onto the ground, it was the Golden Crow Immortal's true form.
The golden crow rolled on the ground and transformed into human form.
It flew up again and engaged the Living Immortal in battle.
Two hundred years ago, during the battle between immortals and demons.
The Golden Crow Immortal had fought the Heavenly Demon and injured him.
Therefore, she had not taken the Heavenly Demon seriously just now.
Because after two hundred years, her cultivation had greatly increased.
So she was confident she could heavily injure the Living Immortal again.
However, she did not know that the reason she was able to injure the Heavenly Demon back then.
Was because the Heavenly Demon had transformed one of his clones into Qing Lan and sent him to the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Qing Lan had taken half of his cultivation, which was why he was no match for the Golden Crow Immortal.
Later, Qing Lan pretended to perish together with the Heavenly Demon, and upon his return, the two merged.
The Living Immortal's cultivation recovered to its peak, and after another two hundred years of cultivation.
Even though the Golden Crow Immortal's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds in these two hundred years, she was still no match for him.
Ji Shiyou saw that the Golden Crow Immortal was at a disadvantage and being suppressed by the Living Immortal.
He brandished the Moon Reflection Sword and soared into the sky.
Together with the Golden Crow Immortal, they fought the Living Immortal.
With the help of the Moon Radiance Pearl, Ji Shiyou's cultivation was no longer inferior to the Golden Crow Immortal's.
Moreover, he and the Golden Crow Immortal both cultivated the Golden Crow Fire.
Their combined efforts were far more than just one plus one equals two.
The master and disciple, working together, immediately turned the tide of the battle.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, the Living Immortal made a gesture in the air with both hands.
His demonic energy transformed into wisps of black threads.
They crisscrossed in the air, weaving a giant black net.
Under the Living Immortal's control, the black net blotted out the sky and covered the entire summit of Mount Wuliang. Those within the net looked up.
They saw thick black demonic energy, obscuring the blue sky and white clouds.
Even the sun had disappeared, and everything was pitch black.
And as the demonic energy grew thicker and heavier, the immortal sect members beneath the net.
Felt their cultivation rapidly draining.
Nong Qing and the others, who were fiercely battling He Lianna and Yong Gaoya, had stopped fighting.
They gathered together to circulate their energy in resistance, preventing their cultivation from draining.
As for the injured sect leaders, they were too weak to circulate their energy.
Some had already been drained of their cultivation and were on the verge of death.
This black giant net was the Living Immortal's most proud demonic art, called the Immortal-Demon Siphon.
It meant that regardless of the immortal essence cultivated by righteous sects.
Or the demonic arts practiced by heretical paths, it could be used as a conduit.
Absorbed into the Living Immortal's body to enhance his cultivation.
The Living Immortal hovered high in the sky, and the black giant net.
Continuously supplied the absorbed magical power.
Into his body, making his might grow stronger and stronger.
Among everyone, only Ming Yue, Zhu Ji, and Cheng Zui within the golden lotus were safe.
The golden lotus blocked the suction of the Immortal-Demon Siphon, but it seemed it wouldn't last long.
For the color of the golden lotus had become dim and lusterless, and it was on the verge of collapse.
Ji Shiyou and the Golden Crow Immortal in the air were also circulating their energy to resist, preventing their cultivation from draining.
But as the Living Immortal's cultivation was continuously replenished and strengthened.
The power of the Immortal-Demon Siphon grew stronger and stronger, and it was only a matter of time before their cultivation was siphoned away.
At this moment, Ji Shiyou whispered something into the Golden Crow Immortal's ear.
The Golden Crow Immortal's eyes lit up, and she nodded silently.
