A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

As for the attacks from the others, they were all deflected when they landed on him, but they did cause some damage; the lava armor on the demon ape's body was clearly cracked.

However, being in the lava pool, he was able to absorb the power of the lava to repair his armor, and soon he was back to normal.

"What? His injuries have healed so quickly? Even a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage wouldn't be able to defeat him, would they?"

Wang Lingxiao's expression changed.

"Otherwise, why would the six of us have asked for help? It's because our attack strength wasn't enough to inflict fatal damage on the demonic ape."

Zhao Fu replied.

Su Chun glanced at the lava pool beneath the demonic ape. If he could deal with the power of the lava pool, the demonic ape would be much easier to handle.

Chapter 71 Each with their own thoughts

Su Chun's gaze was fixed on the lava pool beneath the demonic ape; it was definitely not just lava inside.

She possessed the strongest spiritual power among those present. Her spiritual power penetrated the scorching heat emanating from the demonic ape and seeped into the lava pool. Upon seeing this, she was shocked.

Because she discovered something even better than the thousand-year-old Blood Grass—a red crystal about the size of a human head.

The demonic ape heals its injuries by absorbing energy from the crystals.

"The Fire Spirit Crystal, one of the five great spirit crystals? Such a large piece, its value is far beyond that of the Blood Grass."

Didn't Su Chun obtain a special Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array at Hidden Sword Peak of the Ancient Sword Sect?

This method requires five spiritual crystals, which are known treasures that contain the purest power of a single attribute.

It has a similar effect to spirit stones, or it could be considered a type of spirit stone.

Spirit stones inherently contain the power of the five elements. After a cultivator absorbs them, they need to extract the spiritual energy of the attributes they require.

But Five Elements Spirit Crystals are different. As long as you have the corresponding elemental root and cultivate the corresponding elemental method, you can directly absorb spiritual energy from them. The effect is about five times that of ordinary spirit stones.

However, since this plant only grows in its specific environment, it is rare to encounter mineral veins.

If Su Chun can collect all five types of spirit crystals, she can set up the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array to directly absorb the five elements of spiritual energy in the world without refining or transforming it. In this way, her cultivation speed can be increased by five times.

In this way, there's no need to worry about the cultivation speed.

Su Chun's eyes lit up, but she wasn't sure if the others had also discovered the Fire Spirit Crystal.

It's about the size of a human head, and its value starts at at least 100,000 spirit stones.

Su Chun suppressed his excitement and turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

Enraged by the attack, the Crimson-Eyed Demon Ape rose from the lava pool with a roar, its towering body resembling a moving volcano, emanating an even more intense and malevolent aura.

He glanced at Zhao Fu and the others, as if to say: It's you guys again.

He suddenly slapped his chest and spewed out a torrent of crimson flames that rushed straight at Wang Lingxiao.

Wang Lingxiao had the strongest aura present, so naturally, the goal was to eliminate him. The attacks from the others were simply insufficient to cause him significant damage in an instant.

Wang Lingxiao's expression changed. He dared not take the attack head-on and quickly used his movement technique to dodge.

A torrent of flames grazed past his shoulder, scorching the rock wall behind him into a glassy state.

Just as the demonic ape was about to continue its pursuit, Zhao Fu and the others launched another attack.

The demonic ape quickly mobilized the power of the lava pool, creating a large amount of lava in front of it to form a lava barrier to block the attacks from the crowd.

He wasn't an idiot; if he could avoid being directly attacked, he naturally wouldn't let himself be beaten for nothing.

After the lava barrier collided with the power of the group, it was pierced, but the remaining power was not enough to hurt the demon ape. It was crushed by the demon ape with one hand.

"Damn it, this guy is more troublesome than I thought." Wang Lingxiao's face was solemn.

However, he could also tell that the demonic ape seemed afraid to leave the lava pool area.

If we could stop him from absorbing the power in the lava pool, or force him out of the lava pool, things would be much easier.

“Junior Sister Zhao, you are a water-attribute sword cultivator. Do you have any means to cut off the power of the lava pool, or force him out of the lava pool?”

Zhao Fu looked helpless. If only she had that ability.

Although water overcomes fire, the five elements are mutually generating and restraining; there is no absolute restraint. Restraint is either a matter of equal strength or a matter of being stronger than the other.

Her water-attribute techniques were clearly no match for the demonic ape's fire-attribute power.

Furthermore, this demonic ape is not simply a fire-attribute monster; it is also skilled in earth-attribute defensive spells.

"Hey! Does anyone among you specialize in water or ice-attribute techniques? Magical artifacts are fine too?"

Wang Lingxiao's question made Su Chun fall into deep thought.

She has ways to sever the connection between the lava pool and the demonic ape, such as the Moon Imprisoning Pearl used to trap the Gold-Eating Bees.

She could barely use these magical artifacts that bore Ding Yuqin's divine imprint, but she couldn't unleash their full power.

But she couldn't possibly reveal her Core Formation stage magic weapon here.

Just as Su Chun was pondering what to do, another disciple from Jade Sword Peak spoke up.

"Senior Brother Wang, I have a special technique here called the Ice Binding Technique. This technique can be enhanced by the number of people casting the spell. My strength is weak, and even if I were to use this technique in actual combat, it would not be very effective. However, if you are willing to lend me your magic power, it might work."

Of the nine people present, three were from Jade Sword Peak.

The demonic ape had no time to listen to their conversation; his attacks came one after another, and the group could only dodge while communicating telepathically.

Fortunately, the demonic ape dared not leave the lava pool; otherwise, with them distracted in battle like this, someone would probably have already met their demise.

"So what do you mean?"

Wang Lingxiao quickly asked.

The female disciple immediately explained her method.

The magical power of one or two people is definitely not enough. She felt that she should ask the cultivators present who possessed yin-type magical powers such as ice, water, wood, and wind to lend her their power. Only in this way could she guarantee that the lava pool would be frozen 100% or that the demonic ape would be forced out of the lava pool.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lingxiao glanced at the power fluctuations emanating from everyone present.

There were nine people present. The three from Jade Sword Peak naturally possessed yin-type magic, and the man surnamed Sun mainly cultivated wind-attribute magic, making a total of four people.

This spell clearly requires time to prepare, and during that time, the rest of the people will definitely have to focus all their efforts on drawing the demon ape's fire.

The remaining five people—Su Chun, Wang Lingxiao, Pan Zhuo, plus a disciple from the Metal-attribute Divine Sword Peak and a disciple from the Metal-attribute Heavenly Sword Peak—must take the lead in the attack.

Their combined strength had no effect on the demonic ape, meaning they would have to withstand the attack head-on, and it was impossible for the five of them to escape unscathed.

What happens after that?

But Wang Lingxiao really couldn't think of any other good solutions.

"In that case, Junior Sister Zhao, you four prepare your spells, and the five of us will draw the demonic ape's fire."

Wanting something without taking risks is obviously impossible. There's a saying that even if you suspect they might have some kind of conspiracy, you can't help but get involved due to the circumstances.

"it is good."

A strange, unintentional smile flashed across Zhao Fu's face. Then, she, the man surnamed Sun, and her two junior sisters retreated behind the crowd.

Su Chun glanced at Zhao Fu and the other three, then at Pan Zhuo and the others, and finally cooperated with them, coming to Wang Lingxiao's side.

The five of them arrived in front of the demonic ape at the same time.

The demonic ape stopped its attack and glanced at the two groups of people. It naturally understood that these humans were probably thinking of some way to deal with it.

Fourth-tier monsters are quite intelligent.

"Let's do it!"

Wang Lingxiao took the lead in making a move, and immediately unleashed a high-grade magic artifact, a magic seal that was filled with fire and lightning.

The magic seal landed on the demonic ape's head and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

The attack from the superior-grade magic weapon forced him to defend for a time, leaving him unable to pay attention to Zhao Fu and the other three.

Moreover, Su Chun and the other three's attacks had also arrived.

Su Chun cannot keep hiding her talents forever.

"Fire Dance Sword Technique - Phoenix Wings Soaring in the Sky".

Su Chun activated the Xuan Yan Sword in his hand and unleashed a powerful spell. A red phoenix roared out and crashed into the demonic ape's defenses, greatly increasing the pressure on the demonic ape.

"Master's Fiery Sword Technique?"

Wang Lingxiao was astonished by this move. You must know that this was Mu Zhuohua's signature sword technique. She had never taught it to anyone else on the entire Yanjian Peak, except for a newly initiated disciple, Wang Qiong, whom she had competed with.

"You're the female disciple from when Master and Senior Uncle Wang were competing, aren't you?"

Wang Lingxiao finally remembered who Su Chun was.

It's no wonder that people didn't recognize Su Chun; Su Chun was just too low-key. After joining the Ancient Sword Sect, he disappeared without a trace.

"Well, it's me."

Su Chun nodded.

The others also activated their magical artifacts one after another, increasing their suppression of the demonic ape.

Zhao Fu and the others waited until Wang Lingxiao and the others made their move before slowly forming an array and casting their spells.

As the power of the four people was injected into the female disciple's body, she formed a hand seal, and a blue magic circle appeared beneath her feet. Ice crystals gradually condensed around her, and the blue magic circle slowly rotated beneath her feet, emitting a cold light.

The magic array began to charge and gather power.

But that speed seemed very slow.

"Hurry up!" Wang Lingxiao urged, turning back to urge them on while manipulating the Thunderfire Seal to bombard the demonic ape.

Although the demonic ape was suppressed in the lava pool, the ferocity in its crimson eyes intensified. It pounded its chest with both fists, causing the lava pool to surge violently, and countless sparks shot towards the five people like meteors.

Chapter 72 Scheming Against Fellow Disciples

Seeing that the demonic ape could still attack them while resisting the attacks of the five people, Su Chun quickly made a hand seal and drew layers of sword curtains to protect himself.

The others did the same, casting defensive spells or summoning magical artifacts.

Because suppression means constantly using force to prevent the opponent from attacking Zhao Fu and the others.

This forced them to confront the issue head-on.
