Nangong He said in a low voice, "If you two leave now and swear never to be enemies with my Fire Cloud Cave, I will let you go!"
He did not want to fight two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators unless absolutely necessary.
Because their lives were uncertain.
All he wanted was for the disciples of Fire Cloud Cave to survive.
Nanyang Zhenren was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "I just said that this formation flag feels a bit powerful, that's all."
"Do you think you can hurt me with it?"
"You're simply overestimating yourself!"
Li Yuan Zhenren looked at the beautiful figure on the Phoenix Cry Stone and said, "Nangong He, this is your beloved daughter, isn't it?"
"I've heard that her beauty is second to none in all of Zhongnan Mountain. Tsk tsk tsk, if you were to pledge allegiance to us, we might even follow worldly customs and call you father-in-law!"
"If not, we will toy with your daughter to death right before your eyes!"
"You need to think carefully."
"Don't think you can resist the two of us with a magic artifact!"
"Attack!"
Nangong He gave the order directly.
Seven Foundation Establishment stage cultivators simultaneously cast their spells.
Boom!
Thunder flashed in the sky, and the Seven Stars Dragon Slaying Formation was instantly activated, sending streaks of heavenly thunder down towards Nanyang Zhenren and Li Yuan Zhenren.
Each bolt was as thick as a water bucket, with a terrifying aura.
It was as if the heavens and the earth were trembling.
"This formation flag is strange, we can't underestimate it!" Li Yuan Zhenren's expression changed as he felt a force of stars.
Even though they were at the middle Foundation Establishment stage, if the power of stars were to fall, it would severely injure or even kill them.
"Damn it, how could a mere Fire Cloud Cave possess such a treasure?" Nanyang Zhenren roared in frustration, while also dodging the lightning bolts.
In the cultivation world, realm is important.
But even more important are the magic treasures.
Possessing a magic treasure with powerful offensive capabilities can completely allow one to defeat enemies of higher realms.
Just like now.
Nanyang Zhenren and Li Yuan Zhenren both had peak Foundation Establishment stage level four cultivation, but they were no match for the formation attack of the seven Foundation Establishment stage level one cultivators of Fire Cloud Cave.
"I will kill one of them first and break this formation flag!"
Li Yuan Zhenren waved his hand, and a fire dragon appeared out of thin air, lunging towards the Second Elder.
"Scram!"
Nangong He instantly appeared in front of the Second Elder and used the Gale Technique to block the fire dragon.
But.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
After all, he was only a cultivator at the middle Foundation Establishment stage level one.
And his opponent was a peak Foundation Establishment stage level four expert.
"Quick, kill them quickly!"
Nangong He roared.
In his current state, he could not hold on for much longer.
Boom boom boom!
The seven Foundation Establishment stage cultivators simultaneously formed seals, pushing the Seven Stars Dragon Slaying Formation to its limit.
A net woven from lightning condensed in the air and descended towards Nanyang Zhenren and Li Yuan Zhenren.
"Sky Shattering Sword!"
Li Yuan Zhenren roared, and a sword strike shot towards the sky.
The terrifying sword energy was unstoppable, tearing even the night sky apart.
But it did not destroy the net!
Nanyang Zhenren fixed his gaze on Elder Wu and thrust out a palm, a terrifying palm wind howling.
"Scram!"
Nangong He's sword strike split apart the incoming attack.
At the same time.
The net formed by lightning in the sky was getting closer and closer to Nanyang Zhenren and Li Yuan Zhenren.
"Fellow Daoist Nanyang, stop holding back and use that magic artifact!" Li Yuan Zhenren said.
"I feel this is an insult, because these people are not worthy of using that magic artifact!" A hint of anger flashed in Nanyang Zhenren's eyes, and then a luminous night-shining pearl appeared in his hand.
He injected his true qi into it.
Instantly.
The night-shining pearl erupted with dazzling light, like daylight, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Following that, an invisible energy spread out.
When the white light disappeared, the electric net in the sky vanished.
The Seven Stars Dragon Slaying Formation flags also split into seven and returned to everyone's hands.
Feathery snow fell from the sky.
Nangong He and the others were filled with shock, completely unaware of what had happened.
"Are you surprised?" Nanyang Zhenren grinned, "This night-shining pearl is a rare magic artifact that can block all formation flags, and even formations."
"However, to be fair, your formation flag's power is quite strong."
"If we didn't have this magic artifact, we might have been defeated here."
"Alright, enough of that."
The smile on his face faded, and he said coldly, "Given your synchronized cooperation, I can give you an additional opportunity. As long as you pledge allegiance to us brothers, I guarantee to spare your lives."
"And, when those important figures arrive, they will surely fight for some benefits for you."
"If we were greedy for life and afraid of death, we wouldn't be staying on the mountain!" Shi Haotian said with a ferocious expression, a long sword appearing in his hand.
The others also drew their swords.
"Attack!"
With Nangong He's command, the eight of them appeared in the eight trigrams positions almost instantly, surrounding the two with cold and frenzied eyes.
"I never thought that a small Fire Cloud Cave would not only have formation flags, but even a sword formation!" Nanyang Zhenren sighed. "Unfortunately, you don't know what's good for you. Since that's the case, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, he sent a burst of true qi towards an elder.
Pfft!
The elder spat out blood and was sent flying, his fate unknown.
Nangong He and the others' scalps tingled, never expecting such an outcome.
"In the face of absolute strength, any so-called sword formation is just a child's game!" Nanyang Zhenren said with a trace of disdain on his face.
"Die!"
Nangong He's eyes were bloodshot, and he charged at the opponent with his sword.
The other six also unleashed their strongest sword techniques.
After all, the Qiankun Sword Formation required eight people to perform it simultaneously; without one person, its full power could not be exerted.
However.
Their opponents were super experts at the peak Foundation Establishment stage level four.
Even with their full strength, they could not inflict any damage.
In an instant.
Everyone was beaten into a state of incapacitation.
They spat blood, their faces filled with weakness and despair.
The gap in cultivation realms was an insurmountable chasm; even with all their efforts, they were no match for them!
"Brothers, kill them!"
The disciples of Fire Cloud Cave, though fearful, had a look of resolve in their eyes.
Even if their opponents were at the middle Foundation Establishment stage!
Even if they were to die in this battle!
They would still defend the dignity of Fire Cloud Cave!
"Foolish mortals, how dare a mere firefly contend with the bright moon?" A trace of disdain flashed in Nanyang Zhenren's eyes, and with a raise of his hand, a terrifying surge of true qi roared out.
Like a turbulent wave, it directly sent the more than a hundred disciples of Fire Cloud Cave flying.
Those below the Foundation Establishment stage are all ants; they could not withstand the attack from a middle Foundation Establishment stage expert.
At the same time, Li Yuan Zhenren appeared on the Phoenix Cry Stone, standing side by side with Nangong Wan, a meaningful smile on his face, "Beauty, what are you looking at? I have a treasure, do you want to see it?"
