Chapter 211 In trouble
"Lord Molin, according to the astrologers of Yaohua Palace, the key to the formation is in the center of the nine-square grid formed by the Nine Infants!"

Liu Sijun spoke urgently through the communication talisman.

Upon receiving the message, Gu Changzhou's eyes sharpened. He and the elders of Yougu Palace quickly adjusted their tactics and charged towards the center of the nine-square grid.

However, the leader of the Blood Spirit Cult seemed to have sensed their intentions and immediately diverted some of his power to control the demonic infant to block their path.

The demonic infants roared, spewing out streams of black demonic energy, attempting to devour Gu Changzhou and the others.

Gu Changzhou and the elders of Yougu Palace worked together, resisting the demonic infant's attacks while struggling to approach the array's core.

Gu Changzhou's wind and thunder power complemented the Xuan Tie Sword, continuously shattering the approaching demonic energy; the elders of Yougu Palace unleashed various powerful spells to protect Gu Changzhou.

Just as they were about to reach the core of the formation, the leader of the Blood Spirit Sect personally intervened, sending a powerful beam of blood-red light toward Gu Changzhou.

Gu Changzhou sensed that the blood-red beam of light contained terrifying power, and that if he were hit, he would definitely suffer severe injuries.

His eyes narrowed, and the wind and thunder wings on his back suddenly unfolded. At the same time, the power of stars surged within his body, and the Xuan Tie sword instantly shone with brilliant starlight, which merged with the power of wind and thunder.

"Elders, be careful!"

Gu Changzhou shouted loudly, and at the same time, his figure flashed, rushing towards the blood-red beam of light like a shooting star.

He slashed down with his black iron sword, the power of stars, wind, and thunder on the sword colliding fiercely with the blood-red beam of light.

"boom!"

A deafening roar and the powerful impact caused the surrounding space to tremble.

Gu Changzhou was thrown backward by the force, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly regained his balance, his eyes filled with determination.

Upon seeing this, Elder Song Hongyuan of Yougu Palace quickly formed hand seals and chanted, "Spirit of Yougu, heed my command, condense a shield to protect you!" Instantly, a transparent shield formed from spiritual energy appeared in front of Gu Changzhou, blocking the subsequent aftershocks.

Gao Yongxiu then brandished his whisk and softly uttered, "The Ghostly Wind Sweeps Away the Demon!"

A strong, eerie wind swept out from his whisk, howling towards the demonic infants that were blocking his way, attempting to disperse them and clear a path for Gu Changzhou and the others.

However, the Blood Spirit Sect Leader was too powerful. Seeing that his attack had missed, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He waved his hands again, and the power of the nine demonic infants instantly condensed together, forming an even more powerful black demonic energy barrier that firmly blocked the path of Gu Changzhou and the others.

"This barrier is incredibly sturdy!"

Gu Changzhou said through gritted teeth. He could feel the evil power of the Nine Netherworld Abyss contained in this barrier, and breaking through it would be no easy task.

Song Hongyuan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Lord Molin, this demonic energy barrier is connected to the power of the Nine Nether Demon Abyss. If we want to break through it, we must first weaken its connection with the Abyss. Elder Gao, let's use the 'Nether Valley Demon-Locking Array' together to restrain these demonic infants and create an opportunity for Lord Molin!"

Gao Yongxiu nodded, and the two quickly took their positions, forming complex hand seals.

As they moved, the surrounding spiritual energy began to surge wildly, and beams of eerie green light emanated from their bodies, gradually forming a huge array that enveloped the nine demonic infants.

The demonic infants, feeling the binding force of the formation, became even more frenzied, struggling desperately and letting out piercing roars. However, the power of the "Dark Valley Demon-Locking Formation" was extremely strong, temporarily holding them firmly in place. Seeing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Gu Changzhou's eyes. He seized the opportunity and once again activated the power of stars and wind and thunder within his body, making the light on the Xuan Tie Sword even more dazzling.

He took a deep breath and charged into the black barrier of demonic energy.

Inside the barrier, Gu Changzhou felt immense pressure as the Nine Nether Demonic Qi continuously eroded his body.

But he gritted his teeth and, with his indomitable will, moved step by step toward the center of the formation.

At this moment, Liu Sijun saw Gu Changzhou rush into the demonic energy barrier from a distance, and her heart tightened.

Knowing the danger of Gu Changzhou's journey, she immediately activated the power of the Taixu Mirror, which shot out beams of starlight in an attempt to distract the Blood Spirit Sect leader and buy time for Gu Changzhou.

Li Qing was not idle either. Holding the Li Huo Sword, the six-winged phoenix phantom burned fiercely, carrying the power of the mutated fire spirit root, and rushed towards the Blood Spirit Sect disciples who were trying to break through the defense line, relieving the pressure on Liu Sijun.

Gu Changzhou finally saw the location of the array's core, a black sphere emitting an eerie light, suspended in the center of the nine-square grid.

Without hesitation, he raised the Xuan Tie sword and thrust it fiercely towards the core of the formation.

The Xuan Tie Sword, imbued with the sharp power of starlight and thunder, pierced fiercely towards the black sphere emitting an eerie light.

However, just as the sword tip was about to touch the array's core, a black, eerie light shot out from the sphere, colliding with the Xuan Tie sword and unleashing a violent roar.

Gu Changzhou felt a powerful recoil force travel along the sword, making his arm numb and almost causing him to lose his grip on the sword.

But he did not back down. He gritted his teeth and once again activated the power of stars and wind and thunder within his body, trying to break through this resistance.

When the leader of the Blood Spirit Sect saw that Gu Changzhou had actually broken through the demonic energy barrier and even tried to destroy the array's core, a crazy killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He frantically formed hand seals and chanted incantations, causing the demonic energy from the Nine Nether Abyss to surge out like a raging tide and pour into the black sphere.

The black sphere glowed increasingly eerily, and the patterns on its surface began to spin rapidly, releasing a powerful suction force that attempted to pull Gu Changzhou, sword and all, into it.

Gu Changzhou felt his body being pulled forward uncontrollably. He struggled to swing his Xuan Tie sword, trying to break free from the suction force.

"Lord Molin, hold on!"

Seeing this, Song Hongyuan and Gao Yongxiu were extremely anxious.

They activated the "Nether Valley Demon-Locking Array" with all their might, causing the array to shine brightly in an attempt to suppress the nine demonic infants and buy Gu Changzhou more time. However, under the enhancement of the Nine Nether Demonic Qi, the nine demonic infants struggled frantically, and the array began to show signs of weakening.

Seeing Gu Changzhou in trouble from afar, Liu Sijun was extremely anxious.

She mobilized all the power of her Nascent Soul, causing the Taixu Mirror to shine brightly. The star map within the mirror spun rapidly, and a dazzling starlight shot towards the Blood Spirit Sect Leader, attempting to distract him.

The leader of the Blood Spirit Cult sensed the threat posed by the starlight and had no choice but to divert some of his power to defend against it.

With a wave of his hand, a blood-red barrier appeared in front of him, blocking Liu Sijun's starlight attack.
