A journey through the world of martial arts

Chapter 224 Seven Fiends' Qin Music
The talisman chains were destroyed in an instant, and everyone present changed their expressions drastically. At the same time, a dense moonlight power ignored the restrictions and directly entered Nie Xiaoqian's soul, instantly filling the entire hall with an astonishing aura.

With this assistance, the divine soul continuously rammed into the two remaining array flags outside and the restrictions in the hall. However, with just one collision, the two array flags exploded with a bang, and the two Xuan generals, Azure Dragon and White Tiger, who were struggling to hold on, were immediately knocked off balance and almost fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Jin Guang immediately pointed his finger upwards, and the "Chongzheng Fangtian Seal" instantly shone brightly, with ripples of spiritual light continuously enveloping Nie Xiaoqian's soul. At the same time, the restrictions in the hall were also activated. In less than a moment, Nie Xiaoqian's soul slowly came to a stop.

Although he forcibly sealed the soul with magical artifacts and restrictions, Jin Guang knew that once the Soul-Inducing Technique was activated, it would not stop. The current calm was only for a more powerful counterattack later.

"Four generals, heed my command! Deploy the Four Spirits Locking Heaven Formation!" Jin Guang shouted, and the four Xuan Xin generals straightened their expressions and replied in unison.

The four immediately sat cross-legged in four directions, and simultaneously performed the same hand seals. Four colors of light, namely blue, white, red, and black, appeared on their bodies. Centered on their bodies, beams of light appeared in the field, and within the beams of light floated magical artifacts that shone with great spiritual light.

The Four Spirits Locking Heaven Formation is a formation practiced by the four generals of Xuanxin. The four are integrated into one, combining four different magical attributes to form a unified offense and defense. Although it is not the strongest formation of the Xuanxin orthodox sect, it is definitely the most perfectly coordinated. Only those who are with the formation day and night can unleash its full power.

The four members of the Azure Dragon Clan simultaneously raised their hands high, and talismans floated into the air, forming a huge magic talisman that slowly pressed down on Nie Xiaoqian's soul. This was to take advantage of the moment when she was accumulating power and trap her inside in advance.

At the same time, the golden light protecting the four people activated the magic array. Instead of helping them, he set up another restriction around their magic array using the "Chongzheng Fangtian Seal". The purpose of this restriction was to provide timely support if the Four Spirits Locking Heaven Array had any flaws.

Just after Jin Guang and the others finished doing this, Nie Xiaoqian's soul, which was sealed inside, suddenly moved. Moreover, unlike before, her soul had become much more solid, and a faint glint flashed in her black and white eyes.

Nie Xiaoqian glanced at the sealing formation with her divine sense, let out a soft hum, and raised her hand. Streams of moon-white light gathered in her hand, instantly forming a white longsword. Nie Xiaoqian raised the sword and slashed, a sound of air being torn apart directly striking the Four Spirits Locking Heaven Formation. With a crack, a small gap was broken in the formation.

The four Xuanxin generals who were in charge of the formation were startled. Although they knew the formation would be broken, they did not expect it to happen so quickly. However, they did have a backup plan.

After the four communicated telepathically, they simultaneously channeled their magical power. The four-colored pillars of light that had been lingering outside suddenly shifted slowly toward the center. The further they went in, the more they felt the persistent pressure gradually dissipate.

Seeing the four-colored pillar of light move, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes turned slightly cold. She snorted and swung her sword, sending four light blades slashing horizontally towards the pillar of light. However, the light blades were blocked by four golden talismans halfway through their journey. The two forces collided, and the light blades and talismans disappeared at the same time.

However, this delay allowed the four-colored pillars of light to gradually merge into one, but Nie Xiaoqian, who was deep in the center, felt a blockage. The moonlight power outside her soul was being constantly transferred and transformed. In just a few breaths, Nie Xiaoqian was horrified to find that half of the moonlight had been devoured.

Within the Yin Yue Dynasty, Jing Wuyuan held the precious mirror, continuously absorbing the power of the moonlight and channeling it into Rong's body. However, at this moment, Jing Wuyuan's expression turned solemn. The blood color on Rong's body was slowly fading, and the speed was accelerating. In just a short while, the lower body had recovered completely, with only the upper body retaining its blood color, but it seemed that it could not hold on for long.

"Using an array to break another array? Since that's the case, I, Jing, will show you the Thousand-Mile Soul Control Technique!"

Jing Wuyuan already knew what the other side was doing through the connection between his body and soul. If Sima Sanniang were to take action, he might have to be more cautious, but with just Jin Guang and the four Xuanxin generals, he was confident that he could defeat them with the formation.

He reached out and picked up a magic sword from the altar, took a step, and chanted incantations. Then, a dark green light shone from the magic sword and shot straight at the Nine Yin Moon. Instantly, the Nine Yin Moon turned dark green, and the moonlight it cast also turned emerald green.

This is a star-based technique that Jing Wuyuan has no chance to cultivate, called "Emerald Moon." It uses the power of the moonlight to transform yin and yang energies and strengthen vitality. At this moment, it is midnight, when the moonlight is at its most intense, giving life upon life, which is perfect for strengthening the soul and breaking through the sealing formation in one fell swoop.

The mirror, though seemingly powerless, was used to manipulate the moonlight.

The blood energy on Rong's body was already being forced close to her neck, and it would retreat back to her brow in a moment, at which point all her efforts would be in vain. At this moment, the emerald moonlight descended upon her, and Rong's body was instantly stained green. The blood energy seemed to have smelled some highly nourishing substance, and it spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, the blood color covered Rong's body again, and the blood color was even more intense than before.

At this moment, inside the Xuanxin Sect, Jin Guang stared grimly at the four-colored pillar of light that was collapsing inward. The incident had happened so suddenly that even with his eyesight, he had only seen a flash of green light before it turned into this state.

Nie Xiaoqian stared coldly at the four Xuanxin generals. Having received the blessing of the moonlight, her power now surpassed the sealing power of the four of them. She only needed to exert a little effort to break the seal. However, she already had her own idea. If she could absorb the essence of the blood energy from these four people, she would gain unexpected benefits.

As the pillar of light was constantly being pulled away, the four members of the Azure Dragon Clan felt their magical power being rapidly depleted, and they were already struggling to hold on.

"metropolitan!"

Upon hearing the Azure Dragon's voice, Jin Guang's eyes flashed slightly. He then left his position and entered the formation. Just as he landed, Nie Xiaoqian's soul roared, and a green light barrier flipped and pressed down, trying to crush Jin Guang to the ground.

Sensing the oppressive force on the emerald light barrier, Jin Guang's eyes sharpened. He flicked his finger, and a brilliant golden light shot out from his fingertip, blasting the emerald light barrier apart with a bang. As smoke and dust filled the air, Jin Guang's mind stirred, and his figure moved instantly, reaching out to grab something in a certain direction.

Nie Xiaoqian's original intention was to use the golden light to break through the formation and restrictions, and then use its power to escape. However, she did not expect that the other party's magic power had been cultivated to a very high level. The move that destroyed the light barrier did not leak any power at all, which caused her plan to fail.

However, even without the opponent's help, Nie Xiaoqian's soul still broke through the Four Spirits Locking Heaven Formation. Just as she was about to take the opportunity to absorb the Azure Dragon, a sudden pressure enveloped her entire body. Nie Xiaoqian's expression changed, and before her magic power could be fully gathered, she instantly moved to another place.

However, before she could catch her breath, several long yellow banners covered with runes suddenly rose up around her. The banners shimmered with light, and beams of spiritual light shot towards Nie Xiaoqian. Upon seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she swung her sword, scattering the incoming spiritual light. However, the scattered spiritual light suddenly transformed into clusters of blazing fireballs, which, as if controlled, quickly converged and, in an instant, became a huge fireball.

Nie Xiaoqian was now extremely vigilant. This was definitely not a technique that Jin Guang and his group could have used. The smooth and effortless maneuver just now must have been the work of a master of formations. Within the Xuanxin Sect, only Sima Sanniang possessed such ability. Thinking of this, Nie Xiaoqian's face darkened. Sensing the intense heat emanating from the fireball, she focused her mind, and the moonlight around her condensed into a protective shield to resist the fierce heat. At the same time, she teleported the situation back to the Yinyue Dynasty through her mind.

I am absolutely no match for the combined forces of Jin Guang and the others on my own. Only with their assistance might there be a sliver of hope for victory.

Just as Nie Xiaoqian was sending the message, Sima San Niang outside had already sensed the fluctuations in the other party's mind through the formation. She immediately nodded to Yan Chixia and Jin Guang, who understood and immediately took their positions in the formation, while simultaneously forming hand seals and casting spells.

At the same time, Sima Sanniang and the four Xuanxin generals shouted and brought out a black and white array plate. This was a "Yin-Yang Dual-Pole Plate" that Sima Sanniang had refined earlier. It was originally intended to make up for the shortcomings of the Qiankun Dual-Pole Array, and it was now being used.

With the combined efforts of the five people, black and white light emanated from the "Yin-Yang Polarity Disc," moving towards Nie Xiaoqian and finally landing steadily three feet above her head.

Just after the array plate returned to its position, Yan Chixia and Jin Guang simultaneously formed the last magic seal. The two beams of light, one golden and one red, were injected directly into the eyes of the yin-yang fish. With this help, the array plate shone even brighter. The black and white light, like two dragons, connected head to tail, continued to fall downwards.

Sima Sanniang smiled as she watched the array plate unleash its full power. Yin and Yang were the most fundamental elements in the world. They were simple in some ways, but complex in others. Jing Wuyuan might be able to break this technique, but it would take him a considerable amount of time. This was exactly what Sima Sanniang was planning.

If the soul cannot be recalled within half an hour after the summoning of the spirit, the technique will fail, and the method of changing the soul and shaping the body will also be in vain. At that time, not only will the caster be implicated, but the person protecting the formation will also be severely injured.

"Let's see how you handle this!"

Within the Yin Yue Dynasty, Jing Wuyuan already knew from the message sent by Nie Xiaoqian that the situation was dire. Sima Sanniang and Yan Chixia were not there before, presumably searching for a solution. Now that they have suddenly returned, they must be absolutely certain that they can destroy his magic.

Just then, the body on the altar suddenly shone brightly, with red and green colors clashing back and forth. A surge of power immediately spread downwards. Jing Wuyuan's expression changed, and he immediately sent a telepathic message to the Four Sages and the others, telling them to stay close to their positions and not to let their guard down.

Jing Wuyuan was prepared for this backlash, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly and so fiercely. Just after Jing Wuyuan sent the message, the backlash collided with the Big Dipper Seven Elements Zhou Tian Formation formed by the Four Sages and Meiji. The seven of them shouted in unison, and rays of light clashed with the backlash. In an instant, the two forces erupted in the formation, flashing with seven-colored light.

For a full quarter of an hour, the seven disciples, including the Four Sages and the Enchantress, finally managed to dissipate the backlash by taking advantage of their home field. However, all seven of them suffered from turbulent blood and qi and significant depletion of their magical power. Moreover, after inspecting the area, the Evil Dragon discovered that sixteen of the other 360 disciples in the array positions could not withstand the aftershocks of the backlash and died on the spot, their souls not even preserved.

"Hold your positions!"

The evil dragon spoke in a deep voice, and everyone in the formation heard it. They immediately mobilized all their magical power. As for the sixteen people who died, they were replaced by others. Although there was a slight inconsistency, the formation was eventually filled.

On the altar, Jing Wuyuan's white light dissipated, and he looked at the body with a solemn expression. At this moment, the red and green colors on the body were already very dim, and the soul was slow to return to its place. A trace of decay was already emanating from the body.

Jing Wuyuan held the precious mirror and reflected the moonlight, slowly dissipating the deathly aura. At the same time, he took a deep breath, summoned the precious mirror, and quickly cast several hand seals. A frost-like aura shot out from the precious mirror, quickly freezing Rong's body. Simultaneously, six black arrows flew out from Jing Wuyuan's sleeves. When they approached Rong's brow, they suddenly transformed into six black beams of light and rushed into Rong's brow.

This item is the "Breaking the Barrier Arrow" forged by Jing Wuyuan. It can transform existence into non-existence, turning the real into the illusory and the illusory into the real. It is an unparalleled weapon for breaking formations and breaking restrictions.

He had previously intended to use it to break the great formation of the Forgotten Forest, but because the Ten Thousand Banners Sealing the Heaven Formation had earth veins as its core, it had far-reaching implications. If they were unable to evacuate in time after breaking the formation, they would also be trapped inside. Now that the enemy was thousands of miles away, he had no worries about using this item this time.

Just as the Breaking Arrow passed through Rongti and arrived at Nie Xiaoqian's side, Sima Sanniang, who was in charge of the formation, had already noticed it. Just as the Breaking Arrow was about to exert its power, she waved the apricot-yellow flag in her hand towards Jin Guang and Yan Chixia. Upon seeing this, the two of them simultaneously mobilized all their magical power. The Yin-Yang dual dragons opened their eyes, their heads and tails joined together, and transformed into a pair of black and white scissors, which cut towards Nie Xiaoqian.

Seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian tried to resist, but she was firmly trapped in place by the omnipresent array force. She could only watch helplessly as the scissors attacked. Just when she thought she was doomed, six black flying arrows suddenly flew out from her body and crashed into the dragon scissors. Four of the arrows shattered the dragon scissors, while the other two easily pierced the array that bound Nie Xiaoqian.

Seeing that the formation had been broken, Nie Xiaoqian immediately flew away, but before she had gone far, the blazing ball of light blocked her way. Nie Xiaoqian snorted coldly, swept her sleeve, and a wisp of frost rushed up, instantly freezing the ball of light for a moment. When the ball of light was unfrozen, Nie Xiaoqian was already very close to the edge of the "Qiankun Liangyi Formation".

Seeing Nie Xiaoqian break through the formation and the blazing celestial sphere, Sima San Niang was not flustered. She waved the apricot yellow flag, and the four Xuanxin generals shouted at the same time. The four spirit phantoms attacked from all sides. No matter how powerful Nie Xiaoqian was, she gradually fell into a disadvantage under the wave of powerful attacks.

With a single sword strike, the four phantom images of the spirits were obliterated. Nie Xiaoqian's originally solid soul began to waver, and her legs became barely visible. Seeing this, Sima San Niang waved her magic flag again. Yan Chixia and Jin Guang exchanged a glance and simultaneously unleashed the "Wind, Fire, and Thunder Talisman" with both hands. Taking advantage of the moment when Nie Xiaoqian revealed an opening, the two talismans, one gold and one red, struck her soul at the same time. Instantly, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the formation, with wind and fire raging.

After a shocking explosion, Nie Xiaoqian's soul was in a terrible state. Apart from her head, which was still intact, her limbs and torso were all broken and charred.

Nie Xiaoqian raised her head and looked at the seven people outside the formation with a sinister look. Suddenly, a strange zither melody came, like an evil sound echoing, like a ghost singing in the sky, and there was also a kind of evil aura that permeated the space.

Upon hearing this voice, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes instantly turned red, and her aura surged. Her damaged body was rapidly repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than half a breath, she was restored to her original state, and a black and red aura surrounded her.

"It's the Seven Fiends' Qin music!"
