Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

Chapter 127 Cooperation

Before Dongfang Jinghong could respond, Li Youan turned his right hand and the Bloodthirsty Gun was already in his grasp.

He then let out a low shout and unleashed the full power of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear.

Since his cultivation level reached the third level of the Kaiyuan Realm, Li Youan felt that the Yuan Qi in his body had become more abundant, and the power of his spear technique was much greater than before.

"A hundred birds flock to the forest!"

As the spear thrust out, in an instant, dozens of spearhead phantoms appeared around Li Dong'an, densely packed, as impenetrable as a hundred birds returning to their forest.

After thrusting out his spear, Li Youan swiftly turned and changed his spear technique. The spear tip, like a flower suddenly blooming, covered a large area in front of him.

These two spear techniques were not simply about speed, but rather an excellent combination of spear technique conception and energy utilization, forming an impenetrable defense around Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The three golden unicorn lizards at the forefront had no time to react before their heads were pierced by the Bloodthirsty Gun.

The monkey demons following behind paid no attention to the slain golden-armored unicorns and swung their stone clubs down hard.

"Jingle bells."

The stone clubs did not fall as smoothly as the monkey demons had expected. Instead, they seemed to have hit a viscous swamp. All the stone clubs were blocked, dispersed, and deflected by the Bloodthirsty Spear in Li Youan's hand.

Seeing this, the monkey demons tried to change their tactics, but it was too late. Li Youan seized the opportunity, rapidly wielding his Bloodthirsty Spear. Amidst the spear's shadow, several solid, cold lights shot out like venomous snakes, precisely piercing their throats.

These monkey demons didn't even have time to utter a sound before they fell backward, blood gushing from their wounds.

But Li Youan didn't care at all. He quickly changed his footing and turned his spear around.

"The phoenix nodded!"

Suddenly, Li Youan thrust out his bloodthirsty spear, as swift as lightning, like a phoenix nodding its head.

Seeing that more and more monsters were coming to attack, Li Youan quickened his pace. The Bloodthirsty Spear moved as swiftly and lightly as a phoenix pecking at its prey, leaving only a few afterimages in the air.

Shadow Leopard, who had been waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack from the side during a gap in Li Youan's spear technique, only felt a blur before his eyes.

A chill ran down his throat, followed by a sharp pain that assaulted his brain. The shadow leopard instantly lost all its strength and collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

Although this attack did not kill the Shadow Leopard outright, it rendered it incapable of fighting.

Li Youan did not rush into action for personal gain. After his successful strike, he immediately retreated, spun around, and used the tip of his spear to block the sharp claws of an eagle demon swooping down from above.

"Hmph, you still want to ambush me? You'd better practice some more."

As he spoke, Li Youan quietly flicked out a wisp of extremely fine Yuan Qi from his left hand. This Yuan Qi wisp quickly disappeared into the ground beneath his feet, and then went even deeper, soon connecting with a Yuan Qi seal.

Li Youan's fierce fighting created a good time and opportunity for Dongfang Jinghong.

Standing beside Li Youan, Dongfang Jinghong activated his Blazing Armor the instant Li Youan finished speaking. The pair of fiery wings on the back of the armor then unfurled with a whoosh.

Pale yellow runes flowed across the pair of dark red fiery wings. These runes flickered in and out as the wings vibrated.

With a swift movement, Dongfang Jinghong's fiery wings vibrated rapidly, making her as agile as a butterfly flitting among flowers.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared, like a red firebird, instantly cutting into the horde of monsters.

Dongfang Jinghong's fighting style differs somewhat from Li Youan's, placing greater emphasis on flexibility, unpredictability, and a single, decisive blow.

Her stunning illusionary swordsmanship seemed to find its most comfortable breeding ground in this battle against the horde of demonic beasts, where it was immediately brought to its fullest potential. A single swing of her sword often created at least dozens of illusory sword shadows, making the surrounding demonic beasts wary and overwhelmed.

"Illusion Sword Technique: Splitting Light and Shadow!"

After nimbly darting through the horde of demonic beasts, Dongfang Jinghong returned to Li Youan's side. Her longsword trembled slightly, and she thrust it forward with a sword full of vital energy, which split into hundreds of sword shadows in the air.

Although there were many demonic beasts attacking Li Youan and his companion, with these hundreds of sword shadows, on average each demonic beast had to deal with three or four sword shadows.

Because Li Youan could handle the monkey demons and shadow leopards roaming around on the ground, her move was mainly aimed at the golden-armored unicorns that were hiding in the shadows and secretly spraying venom, as well as the eagle demons that were wielding wind blades in the high sky and occasionally launching aerial attacks.

Wherever the sword light passes, demonic beasts will wail and fall to the ground, or even fall from the sky and lose their lives.

One of the golden-armored unicorns, which was receiving special attention, had just sprayed a venomous spray when it was surrounded by more than a dozen sword shadows. These sword shadows pierced the same spot, tearing open its scales and then penetrating its body before exploding.

"Boom boom boom".

The golden-armored unicorn lizard was blasted to pieces by the internal explosion, its limbs and fragments shooting out like explosives. Some demonic beasts even devoured its flesh and blood.

The monkey demon fighting against Li Youan forced him back, then rapidly swung his staff, shattering the sword shadows thrust by Dongfang Jinghong.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Youan, who had been repelled, had already rushed in front of him again, and swung out his Bloodthirsty Spear. The tip of the spear had already pierced into the monkey demon's ribs and shattered the internal organs in its abdominal cavity.

The monkey demon, who had just been secretly pleased with himself for shattering the sword shadow, suddenly widened his eyes and fell straight forward.

Before they could even feel happy, new monsters had already attacked them. These waves of attacks surged towards Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong like a tidal wave.

Dongfang Jinghong was already incredibly fast, and now, with the help of the wings on the back of the Blazing Armor, her short-range flight ability was even more formidable. She moved through the horde of demonic beasts with even greater ease, and some eagle demons couldn't even keep up with her speed.

Whenever he passed by a monster, Dongfang Jinghong would thrust his long sword out from an unbelievable angle, attacking the monster's various weak points: eyes, throat, abdomen —

Dongfang Jinghong's sword steps were extremely fast, and under the effect of illusion, they also carried a power that could confuse the minds of the demonic beasts, making it difficult for them to distinguish which swords were real and which were fake.

Although Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong appeared to be fighting independently, they were constantly observing each other during the battle, helping each other deal with attacks coming from behind, and killing the monsters in front of them while covering each other.
