Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 498 Fierce Battle Within the Formation

Seeing the Murong family cultivators guarding the mountain gate pouring out in droves, Song Xian flipped his hand, took out a white porcelain bottle, and gulped down the contents.

In an instant, his spiritual power surged, and he quickly returned to his peak state.

This was indeed a hundred-year-old spiritual milk. Originally, most of his spiritual power had been consumed, but after drinking this bottle of spiritual milk, his consumed spiritual power was immediately replenished.

Lin Zixiang, Hu Xiaobao, and the others who were standing nearby looked at him with puzzled expressions when they saw him suddenly take out a porcelain bottle and take a deep breath.

But Song Xian showed no intention of explaining. After drinking the spiritual milk, he put the porcelain bottle directly into his storage bag.

With a formidable enemy at hand, they naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

With Zhao Botao's order, the Beast Taming Sect members engaged the enemy. After giving a few instructions to those around him, Song Xian led his men into battle.

His situation was different from Zhao Botao's. Zhao Botao was a direct descendant of the Beast Taming Sect. He had decided to abandon the Hunyuan Sect and lead the Beast Taming Sect disciples to withdraw from the formation without asking for permission or giving orders. Hong Haoran could be magnanimous and not pursue the matter.

However, if he abandons the Beast Taming Sect and leads the Hunyuan Sect disciples to leave the formation without permission, given Hong Haoran's protective nature, he certainly won't let it go easily.

In the current situation, both sides are in the same boat, and the only way to defeat the enemy is to work together.

Flames rose from his palm, transforming into a massive fireball that hurtled towards a Foundation Establishment cultivator leading the Murong family like a meteor.

He was a burly man with a full beard, at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and appeared to be the captain of the Murong family's team.

Seeing numerous enormous fireballs shooting towards him, the middle-aged man with a thick beard's expression changed slightly. He immediately retreated, clasped his hands together, and water surged around him, condensing into giant water tornadoes that rushed towards the fireballs.

"Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Miao, quickly help me!" The water tornado solidified, and the bearded man shouted as he retreated.

In Song Xianzhen's discerning eyes, this water-shaped tornado was indeed powerful, possessing a force of 1000 points.

Ordinary second-tier superior spells only have 500 attack power, but this one can reach 1000 points. This is not only because it cultivates water-attribute techniques, but also because it is affected by the great formation, which enhances its water-attribute power.

This level of array, in addition to triggering powerful array restriction attacks, can also enhance the corresponding attribute spell power of the cultivators within the array, simply by drawing runes corresponding to the array on the cultivators' backs.

The fireball collided with the water tornado, and amidst the hissing and popping sounds, a large cloud of smoke billowed up.

Seeing the enemy retreat, Song Xian followed closely behind, controlling the remaining fireballs to pursue them.

Just then, a black disc appeared beneath his feet, from which thick black threads crisscrossed, attempting to bind him.

It turned out that it was a tall, thin man at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment who made the move next to the bearded man. The black disc was the binding technique he used.

The enormous disc turned like a gear, making a creaking sound, and countless black threads shot out from it, wrapping around the fiery walls surrounding Song Xian like long snakes.

A hissing sound rang out continuously as the tough, thick black threads melted away like willow catkins under the raging flames. Soon, even the black disc visibly twisted.

Relying on the protective wall of flames, Song Xian completely ignored the harassment from the black disc beneath him and pressed straight towards the leader of the opposing team.

As the fireballs pressed towards the opponent, he once again clasped his hands together and unleashed the Flame Meteor spell, condensing numerous fireballs once more.

Just as the fireball was taking shape, a golden spear thrust straight at them from the right.

The golden light was as dazzling as the sun, but it was another man with a dark complexion who had reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment who had made his move.

Behind him materialized a giant clad in golden armor and helmet, wielding a golden spear in his left hand and a golden shield in his right, resembling a celestial soldier. With a flick of his spear, a massive golden spear, radiating dazzling light, pierced forth.

With a loud bang, the golden giant spear struck the fiery city wall, shattering the fiery shields one by one with a crisp cracking sound.

The enormous golden spear, with its unstoppable momentum, burst forth with golden light, shattering large sections of the fiery shields under its onslaught.

The golden giant spear slowly pushed inward, and the city wall composed of flame shields visibly deformed. Song Xian narrowed his eyes, looking at the dark-skinned man at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

Although this person's cultivation level was slightly lower than that of the bearded man at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment who led the group, his strength seemed to be stronger. With just this one attack, the power was as high as 1550 points.

Despite the support of the formation, being able to unleash such a powerful attack makes him an absolute standout among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Under the pressure of the golden spear, the fiery city wall twisted and deformed, on the verge of shattering.

Song Xian immediately controlled the fireball and shot it towards the man.

The fireball crashed down like a meteor. The dark-skinned man's face was solemn. Behind him, a giant in golden helmet and armor raised his right shield. As the shield shone with golden light, a gigantic golden shield phantom materialized.

Amidst the resounding impacts, cracks gradually appeared in the phantom shield. The man roared, and the golden spear in the giant's hand shot out from behind him like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Under the attack of the spear, the fireballs shattered one after another.

On the other side, the bearded man and another tall, thin man at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment also did not stand idly by.

Both of them used their magic to attack Song Xian.

The bearded man clasped his hands together and chanted incantations. Strands of white frost appeared around Song Xian, then condensed into ice mirrors. In the blink of an eye, six ice mirrors, each ten feet in size, appeared around him.

The six enormous ice mirrors flashed with light, and frost shot out from within, instantly freezing an area of ​​several dozen feet in radius. The frost spread rapidly, forming a small iceberg.

Song Xian was trapped inside the ice mountain. The ice continued to spread and surged towards him, and the bone-chilling cold enveloped the entire area.

However, the next moment, a huge flame erupted, the iceberg melted visibly, and the frost emitted by the ice mirror evaporated rapidly under the burning heat of the flames. As the flames surged, the mirror surface shattered.

As the ice mirror spell disappeared, a huge black ring floated above Song Xian's head. It was a spell cast by another tall, thin man at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

The black ring emitted a dazzling light and hung down, forming a cylindrical black barrier that enveloped Song Xian.

From a distance, it looked like a huge, black, transparent cylinder encasing him inside.

Song Xian, who was in the middle of it, felt a powerful invisible force binding him. His body felt as heavy as if it were filled with molten lead, as if he were trapped in a quicksand vortex.

In his discerning eyes, the data in that black ring was a... ???
This was not because the technique was too advanced for him to perceive, but because it was not an offensive technique in itself.

His Eye of Truth can't see through everything; it can only display attack and defense stats.

For offensive binding spells like these that lack offensive capabilities, the Eye of Truth will not display specific data.

Seeing that he was trapped by the light hanging from the black ring, the bearded man who was leading the group immediately put his hands together, and a giant frost python condensed above his head and attacked him.

Wherever the giant python passed, its breath turned to ice, and the ice layer continued to spread.

Soon, the giant frost python arrived in front of Song Xian, its body coiled outside the black barrier, surrounded by layers of frost, even the inner space was shrouded in frost.

In an instant, the surroundings transformed into a world of ice and snow.

Within the black beaded barrier, golden flames surged, rapidly melting the frost within. The golden flames transformed into a three-legged golden crow, which flapped its wings, instantly engulfing the black barrier in golden flames.

Under the blazing golden flames, the giant black halo above Song Xian's head trembled continuously, and the black barrier hanging down from its light also shook violently.

The Golden Crow charged forward without any sound of impact. Its golden flames surged instantly, and the black barrier shattered like a mirror under its impact. The giant black ring on the barrier also melted under the golden flames.

With a thought, Song Xian unleashed the Golden Crow's Blazing Flames toward the bearded man at the head of the group.

On the left, the dark-skinned man at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment once again thrust out with his massive golden spear.

Song Xian clasped his hands together, and flames and meteors condensed to meet the incoming golden spear.

Seeing that his binding spell had been broken, the tall, thin man on the right cast the spell again. Black light surged from his body to the top of his head and gathered into a ring.

Before the black ring could even drift over, Song Xian had already taken the initiative and unleashed the Blazing Encirclement. As several flames appeared around him, they instantly transformed into a huge cage of flames, engulfing the man and the black ring together.

These three are clearly elites of the Murong family, each possessing unique and exquisite magical skills, and are undoubtedly among the best of the next generation of the Murong family.

With the combined strength of the three, plus the added power of the grand formation, they are indeed very difficult to deal with.

The three of them clearly knew Song Xian's strength. Judging from the battle just now, they must have planned to deal with him together before they set out.

After all, he was the strongest fighter on the Beast Taming Sect's side, and given his previous encounter with Murong Hai, the Murong family head couldn't possibly not give him special instructions.

Therefore, as soon as Song Xianfang made his move, the bearded man who was leading the group quickly retreated and called for help from his two companions.

Faced with the combined attack of these three, Song Xian was not at a disadvantage, but it would be difficult for him to quickly defeat them and turn the tide.

If his Yin Netherfire had not been damaged, he would have been more than capable of dealing with these three people. However, without the Yin Netherfire as his trump card, it would not have been easy for him to fight three against one.
