CHAPTER 441: CHAPTER 411 COLD MOON SPIRIT WHEEL

It’s hard to say how well the hundred or so Qi Cultivation Stage Loose Cultivators from Nine Cold Mountain can be organized.

Loose Cultivators, having no support and being accustomed to moving alone, primarily focus on their own interests and are very cautious of the surrounding cultivators.

Over time, as their strength grows, they develop a cautious and skilled yet ruthless style of action.

Given this characteristic of Loose Cultivators, it is impossible to unite them unless they truly perceive themselves as bound together as grasshoppers on the same string.

Moreover, since Loose Cultivators come from many schools and practice cultivation techniques of varying strengths, they can hardly bring out the advantages of teamwork.

A large group of Loose Cultivators fighting to exterminate demons will only lead to each fighting their own battle, making organization difficult, not to mention achieving seamless cooperation.

Lu Yuanshan had also considered this issue, just like Xuu Qingci did at that moment.

Let’s just say they don’t expect these Loose Cultivators from Nine Cold Mountain to make a significant impact in battle, as long as they don’t falter at critical moments.

"Yuanshan, based on your strength, dealing with four Tier Nine Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts is indeed not an issue."

"But on this frontline battlefield teeming with Demon Beasts, there is no need to reveal all your cards; it is necessary to hold some back and not to overly flaunt your prowess."

Lu Ping offered a few reminders.

"This applies to Zhiwei as well."

The saying that a tall tree attracts the wind, leading to envy and setups, has never disappeared from the Cultivation Realm; vigilance is essential.

The Southern Wilderness Battlefield is full of mixed and curious people, anything can happen.

"I will bear Father’s teachings in mind."

Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei both nodded in agreement, acknowledging that Lu Ping’s reminders were correct.

The group proceeded cautiously and, upon stepping into the southern region of Pingyao Town, they immediately sensed a large number of demon beasts.

The entire southern area of Pingyao Town was at that moment filled with countless demon beasts, seemingly endless.

Without exception, these demon beasts were composed of Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts, with their types being uncountable, appearing large and small, making one feel dazzled, as if entering the lair of demon beasts.

At that moment, some of these demon beasts were preying on each other, engaging in combat.

When demon beasts gather in groups and become hungry, they would start killing each other.

Especially those Tier Two Demon Beasts which, when preying on Tier One Demon Beasts, face no resistance, only the wails of being hunted.

Barely any avian demon beasts were seen here, as most of them, due to their ability to fly and high-speed mobility, have already moved near the Purple Fire Castle region with other flying demon beasts, where another Profound-level team was conducting a clean-up using Flying Spiritual Artifacts.

Seeing these demon beasts, Lu Yuanshan’s group did not deploy tactics or form lines, but instead launched a direct assault in the most powerful manner.

Under such immense numbers of demon beasts, Lu Yuanshan and his group were detected immediately upon setting foot on the spot, leaving no time to prepare.

Moreover, with a number of five hundred, a formation couldn’t be set up in a short while, and there was no coordination to speak of; it was better to each exhibit their divine techniques.

"Fellow Daoists, be careful."

"Charge!"

On the side of Nine Cold Mountain, an aged Loose Cultivator in the late-stage Qi Cultivation wielded a Cyan Bamboo Sword and charged forward with a shout.

Behind him, large numbers of Loose Cultivators from Nine Cold Mountain also displayed their Magical Artifacts, Flying Swords, Long Sabers, Mountain Peak Spiritual Artifacts, and even Spirit Mirror Spiritual Artifacts.

In an instant, Magical Artifacts emerged one after another, making the surroundings gleam brightly and vividly with assorted Magical Artifacts materializing.

Lu Yuanshan, Xuu Qingci, Lu Zhiwei, Zhao Wanling, and the two Elders from Cold Moon Palace glanced at each other, stopped hesitating, and unleashed their own Magical Artifacts to begin the cleaning process.

Xuu Qingci wielded her Moon Wheel Hair Ornament on her head.

This was a Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, tough with strong attack power and also provided defense, known as the Cold Moon Spirit Wheel.

Under Xuu Qingci’s control, this Cold Moon Spirit Wheel slowly emerged from her silky long hair, glowing with a serene and clear snow-white light, transforming to the size of a Flying Sword and suspending itself before her.

With Xuu Qingci’s jade hand casting a technique, magical power surged upon this Cold Moon Spirit Wheel, immediately radiating a strong Foundation Establishment Spiritual Power, targeting a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment Fox Demon within the demon beast group.

This Fox Demon was a Three-tailed Fox Demon; upon seeing the joint attack from Nine Cold Mountain’s Loose Cultivators, it unfolded its three tails and waved them to form a defensive move, effortlessly sweeping the striking dozen or so Magical Artifacts away.

When facing the assault from the Cold Moon Spirit Wheel, the Three-tailed Fox Demon remained unperturbed, controlling its tails to defend.

But at this instance, it suffered a loss.

The Cold Moon Spirit Wheel was overwhelmingly powerful, slicing through the fox’s tails when it reached the Three-tailed Fox Demon, startling the demon.

Xuu Qingci’s expression remained calm, with a look as cold as Lu Zhiwei usually had, hiding nothing of her cold demeanor.

She seized the opportunity and commanded the Cold Moon Spirit Wheel, unleashing cutting force in the air and decisively striking one of the Three-tailed Fox Demon’s tails.

Facing this attack, the Three-tailed Fox Demon couldn’t dodge, immediately losing one tail, releasing a harsh scream that was extremely piercing.

"Well done."

Next to her, Female Cultivator Lu Zhiwei couldn’t help but praise when she saw Xuu Qingci display such prowess.

Xuu Qingci, typically looking aloof and unapproachable, acting as though she didn’t fit in, became remarkably resolute and efficient once engaged, catching Lu Zhiwei by surprise.

Not only that, but she also caused serious injury to a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment Fox Demon so quickly, proving her strength to be somewhat superior to her own.

At that moment, not just Lu Zhiwei, but even Lu Ping and Lu Yuanshan were drawn by Xuu Qingci’s display, giving her an extra glance.

Having the Cold Moon Palace Master act as the team leader truly showed her competence.

"Little sister, let’s unsheath our swords too!"

Lu Yuanshan called out, prompting the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword between his brows to glow in brilliant blue.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiwei nodded firmly, no longer dawdling, and also summoned the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, wielding it as a weapon for slaughter, proceeding to clear the demon beast group.

Both Taiyi Celestial Ruins Swords emerged together, each radiating azure brilliance, instantly locking onto two Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, erupting with fierce Ancient Sword Qi, striking through the air with impressive momentum.

"What amazing Flying Swords!"

"What kind of Flying Swords are those?"

Zhao Wanling, who hadn’t yet made a move, was momentarily awestruck upon witnessing the significant might of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Swords deployed by Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei, exclaiming in surprise.
