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

Chapter 129 Sneak Attack 1

The golden-armored lizard, which had been hiding all around, began to stealthily approach after receiving Ying Xiang's order, moving like a ghost towards Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong.

If it weren't worried that Luo Jiangshan and the others would discover that it was a True Spirit Realm demon beast in advance, how could it be so cautious? It would have rushed up and killed Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong long ago.

The golden-armored unicorn had been secretly observing the two for a long time. Although they were only human cultivators at the second or third level of the Opening Yuan Realm, he always felt a strange sense of unease whenever he wanted to make a move.

It seems he's being targeted by some powerful being, and if he dares to make a move, he'll be killed instantly.

If Eagle Soar hadn't urged it on, the golden-armored unicorn lizard might still be watching from the sidelines.

Although both Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong gave him a feeling that his life was threatened, Dongfang Jinghong's situation was slightly better, and he was prepared to make a move against this woman first.

Moreover, based on the observation just now, Dongfang Jinghong is one of the few people in this group who can fly. With the added benefit of her armor, in this entire human team, apart from Luo Jingshan, probably no one can outrun her in the air.

In addition, her illusion sword technique caused the most injuries and even deaths among the Kaiyuan Realm demon beasts.

Although Li Youan focused most of his attention on the demonic beasts charging at him, with Ying Xiang's help, he was able to spare some attention to observe the overall battle situation and manipulate some simple early warning formations around the battlefield using the energy thread he had just used.

At the same time, he was also making the most of the time to set up new and more powerful formations, but the battle was too intense for him to spare much attention.

Although these simple early warning formations allow him to sense the general flow of demonic energy around him, the effectiveness of the warnings is greatly affected when the Golden Armored Unicorn Lizard, a True Spirit Realm demonic beast with the innate ability to conceal its aura, launches a stealthy attack.

This golden lizard with a single horn was like a seasoned hunter, very patient. Even when urged by Eagle Soar, it did not rush to attack, but waited for the perfect opportunity to strike.

At this very moment, Dongfang Jinghong was using an extremely beautiful move, "Illusion Sword Technique: Overlapping Shadows and Splitting Light," to envelop a monkey demon at the fifth level of the Kaiyuan Realm with several sword shadows that were almost solidified.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of his fingers, the monkey demon was pierced through the sword and turned into a hedgehog.

The moves don't have to be old, as long as they work.

Although Li Youan was observing his surroundings, he also thrust out his spear, piercing through the chest of a Shadow Leopard at the sixth level of the Kaiyuan Realm. He then flashed behind the Shadow Leopard and pulled out his spear.

After killing the monkey demon, Dongfang Jinghong's fiery wings on the back of his Crimson Fire Armor trembled slightly as he pounced on another eagle demon in the air.

Before the eagle demon could even react, with a "whoosh," it was cleaved in two by a sword, its blood splattering across the air.

Dongfang Jinghong shook the blood off his longsword and adjusted his direction in mid-air, preparing to pounce on a golden-armored unicorn lizard hiding in the bushes and spitting venom at Li Youan.

Just as she shifted her form, her old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated. Her body appeared in mid-air for an extremely brief moment of stillness before the golden-armored unicorn lizard moved!

The shadow beneath the rock where he had been hiding suddenly came to life. A dark green afterimage, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot out at incredible speed.

Unlike the Shadow Leopard, this golden-armored unicorn lizard didn't pounce directly. Instead, it thrust its long tongue, covered in fine barbs and venomous slime, straight at Dongfang Jinghong's back like a javelin.

The venomous tongue gleamed with a blindingly cold light, like the sharpest spear, as it pierced towards them.

This attack was as fast as lightning, condensing all the demonic power of the Golden Armored Unicorn Lizard at the third level of the True Spirit Realm. Its speed was already at its limit, and its grasp of timing, environment, and angle was ruthless and cunning to the extreme.

This was the deadly attack that the golden-armored unicorn lizard had been planning for a long time.

Instead of choosing Li Youan, who was constantly maneuvering on the ground, he chose Dongfang Jinghong, who was more mobile and constantly attacking monsters in mid-air.

"A startling sight! Behind you!!!"

Li Youan remained highly focused, with the warning array constantly covering the area around them. The moment the Golden-Armored Unicorn Lizard launched its attack, had Li Youan not anticipated it and been completely absorbed in the array, he would have missed the extremely faint fluctuation.

The moment he sensed something was wrong, Li Youan's pupils contracted sharply, becoming as small as pinpoints. Without thinking, he roared angrily, warning Dongfang Jinghong.

The moment the golden-armored unicorn lizard launched its attack, Dongfang Jinghong did not notice, but the protective jade pendant hanging at her waist instantly turned bright red and flashed with red light. A burning sensation came from her waist, and Dongfang Jinghong knew that there was an unpredictable danger around her.

Upon sensing the warning from the jade pendant, Dongfang Jinghong felt a chill run down her spine. However, being in mid-air, she was already in a gap in her power exertion. Even the Blazing Armor required a very short activation time during this delicate transition.

"There's no escaping it!!!"

Dongfang Jinghong was somewhat anxious. Although she knew that she had many protective magic treasures and would not lose her life, no one wanted to be injured. In fact, based on what she sensed now, it was no longer a matter of minor injuries.

A close call!

In that split second, Li Youan had no time to think; his body made the most instinctive, subconscious choice.

Without any hesitation, he forcefully reversed the trajectory of the spear that was originally aimed at the monkey demon in front of him. His body lunged backward at an almost folding angle.

As the gun retracted, he pushed his feet to their limit, and like an arrow released from a bow, he shot towards Dongfang Jinghong to his side and rear.

As he turned, he flung out the three array flags that had been hidden in his left hand with all his might, not to set up an array, but like hidden weapons, aiming at the base of the unicorn rhinoceros lizard's long tongue, in an attempt to disrupt the attack.

"puff!"

The three battle flags were easily shattered by the long tongue, serving no purpose whatsoever. The long tongue continued to shoot straight towards Dongfang Jinghong.

Li Youan followed behind the battle flags and finally arrived at Dongfang Jinghong's side before the long tongue could strike.

Li Youan didn't even have time to launch any defensive attack before Dongfang Jinghong was sent flying from his original position. Then, Li Youan only had time to hold his spear in front of him as a shield before the tongue of the golden-armored unicorn lizard attacked him.

"Pfft"

A sickeningly loud sound, like a sharp weapon piercing flesh, rang out.
