Gou Zai created a blessed land in the immortal abode

The number of people flanking should not be too large, and Kong Chengli ultimately selected three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Including him, there are a total of four late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

The next day.

The Kong family's spaceship has set sail.

The spaceship flew over Wangjiangdu and headed towards the Zhao family's encampment.

Kong Chengli looked at Kong Chengjie and instructed him:

"You have already drawn them in this battle. Do not engage in a deadly battle with the Zhao family cultivators. It would be best to lure them to Wangjiang Ferry and use the power of the formation to ambush and kill them."

Kong Chengjie's expression was solemn: "Understood."

Kong Chengli nodded slightly, and then, along with the other three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, boarded flying artifacts and flew towards the teleportation array.

Kong Chengli and his three companions flew close to the dense forest, using high-grade concealment talismans to hide their auras to the extreme.

"stop."

Kong Chengli suddenly raised his hand, and the four of them immediately hovered in mid-air.

His gaze was sharp as he looked toward the Zhao family camp in the distance. The camp was brightly lit, and the figures of patrolling cultivators could be vaguely seen moving between the tents.

"There is a detection array ahead."

Kong Chengli whispered, "If we go any further, we'll definitely be noticed."

Even with a concealment talisman, there's still a high probability of being discovered once you enter the formation.

A cultivator behind him said, "Fellow Daoist Kong, the detection array covers an area of ​​at least a hundred zhang. How are we supposed to get there?"

Kong Chengli did not speak, but took out a mirror, chanted an incantation and made hand gestures. A beam of spiritual light shot out, and the next moment, the image appeared on the mirror.

"This teleportation array is guarded by twelve cultivators, including five late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and seven sixth-stage Qi Refining cultivators." Kong Chengli's expression was solemn.

"It won't be easy to fight," a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator said in a deep voice.

They only had four late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, while the other side had five, not to mention seven Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators.

"What should we do?"

"There's no other way, we'll have to fight it out. All we need to do is destroy the teleportation array."

Kong Chengli nodded: "That's the only way."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you will be responsible for destroying the teleportation array, and we will be responsible for holding off the enemy."

Jiang Qing replied earnestly, "Understood."

He possesses a magical artifact called the Crimson Flame Pearl, a weapon of the Fire Virtue path, which allows cultivators to summon earth fire.

Extremely powerful!

If it were to self-destruct, it would be comparable to an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages, more than enough to destroy the teleportation array.

"Whether this battle is successful or not, the alliance will definitely remember your contribution!"

Kong Chengli was afraid that he would be reluctant to expose his magic weapon, so he made a promise in advance.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Kong, I also know what it means to prioritize the greater good."

"In that case, let's make our move."

Without hesitation, Kong Chengli took out his treasured sword, which he had nurtured for over ten years. The other three followed suit, each taking out their own magical artifacts.

"Gentlemen, this battle is of paramount importance; it's a matter of success or death!"

Before he finished speaking, Kong Chengli rushed out of the dense forest first, followed closely by the other three.

The effect of the concealing talisman was broken the moment it entered the detection array's range, and several white rays shot out from the array in an instant.

Fortunately, the formation's offensive power was insufficient; these white rays, when they landed on Kong Chengli and the others, couldn't even break through the spiritual shield formed by the talismans.

"There is an enemy attack."

The Zhao family cultivators guarding the formation reacted extremely quickly. Several Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators stood up at the same time, their spiritual light shining on their bodies, and the sound of their magical artifacts being drawn echoed one after another.

But Kong Chengli was faster.

The advantages of sword cultivators were on full display at this moment.

With a single swing of his sword, the sharp sword light reached the guardian cultivator in the blink of an eye.

"Splash!"

With a single sword strike, a burst of spiritual light erupted.

A cultivator from the Zhao family at the sixth level of Qi Refining hurriedly raised his shield to defend, but was cleaved in two by the sword, along with his shield.

"It's a sword cultivator! Be careful!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kong Chengli's second sword strike was already delivered, instantly slaying another cultivator.

The other cultivators' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this. They quickly retreated while summoning talismans and magical artifacts to shield themselves.

"You three go and stop the other three. A sword cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining is not someone you can handle."

At this moment, five late-stage Qi Refining cultivators near the teleportation array rushed over.

Three of them stood in front of Kong Chengli.

"What a fine sword, what a sharp sword aura."

The Zhao family cultivator in the center had a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice:

"The Kong family has two sword cultivators. Kong Chengheng is still in seclusion, so you must be Kong Chengli, right?"

Kong Chengli looked calmly at the three people in front of him and chuckled:

"He does have some brains."

"snort!"

The Zhao family cultivator snorted coldly and said:

"You four dare to come and break in, with just your sword? Today I'll tell you, you may come alive, but you won't leave alive!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

After Kong Chengli finished speaking, another golden sword light slashed out.

The Zhao family cultivator's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly, simultaneously summoning a spiritual shield to block in front of him.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and a deep crack was slashed into the spirit shield.

"Such powerful killing force!" The Zhao family cultivator was shocked.

He had heard that sword cultivators, though both at the late stage of Qi Refining, possessed attack power far exceeding that of other cultivators of the same level, but he only truly experienced the terror of it when he faced one in person.

Now, he dared not be presumptuous at all and quickly said:

"Let's go together."

At the same time, the other three also began to tremble.

The other two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators blocked the remaining late-stage Qi Refining cultivators for Jiang Qing.

At the same time, he used hit-and-run tactics to restrain as many opponents as possible, creating opportunities for Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing twisted his body, avoiding the interception of a Zhao family cultivator, and headed straight for the center of the array platform.

The teleportation array's stone platform was right in front of them, its eerie blue light standing out starkly in the night.

"Stop him!"

When the Zhao family's late-stage Qi Refining cultivators saw Jiang Qing approaching the teleportation array, they wanted to quickly break away and intercept him.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Kong Chengli's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed several sword strikes, forcing them to turn around and fight back.

It would be difficult for Kong Chengli to kill all three of them, but he could certainly intercept one or two.

After all, no cultivator can ignore a sword cultivator's attack.

Jiang Qing quickly approached the teleportation array. Several mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators followed behind him. His expression remained unchanged as he summoned the Crimson Flame Pearl and began to perform a magic incantation.

In an instant, a burst of scorching flames erupted, causing the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators to shudder and hastily dodge.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Qing poured all his magic power into the Crimson Flame Pearl, then activated it with all his might and hurled it fiercely toward the teleportation array platform.

The Crimson Flame Pearl traced a crimson path in the air before striking the base of the array platform with pinpoint accuracy.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out, and a huge fireball shot into the sky, with scorching heat waves sweeping in all directions.

Pebbles flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

"It's a success!" Jiang Qing was overjoyed.

But the joy lasted only a moment.

A golden light shot out from within the formation. Jiang Qing had no time to dodge and could only barely use the little spiritual power he had left to protect himself.

"Bang!"

He fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
