Yan Hua accepted the attack without even looking up.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy and malevolent energy collided, emitting a deafening boom.
The black and red malevolent energy of the Blood Demon Sha continuously expanded its territory, eroding the surrounding spiritual energy.
Yet, Yan Hua's expression remained calm. With just one hand, he repelled the formidable malevolent energy.
The Blood Demon Sha's expression unchanged, he gazed intently at Yan Hua, "From our brief exchange, you should be able to sense that I haven't used my full strength. If I were to truly face you, with you protecting so many, you likely wouldn't fare well against me."
As he spoke, he used his malevolent energy to envelop the entire battlefield.
One of the soldiers of the Netherworld tribe was merely brushed by the malevolent energy, and instantly, all their spiritual energy and life force were drained, turning them into dust that dissipated into the air.
Shao Feng's gaze gradually turned cold.
Yan Hua's expression remained unperturbed as he looked at the Blood Demon Sha, "You've stalled for so long, haven't you, just to wait for your master?"
The smile on the Blood Demon Sha's face gradually receded.
Yan Hua observed the Blood Demon Sha, "Did I guess correctly? While your palm strike earlier was powerful and held back, it was clear you only intended to intimidate and stall, not to kill."
"I just wonder if you've been circling around and delaying us because your master, Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate, ordered it, or if you yourself are afraid to act?"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Sha was instantly enraged, as if his sore spot had been poked. He raised his hand, manifesting a spear from his malevolent energy, and thrust it directly towards Yan Hua.
Yan Hua dodged to the side, his peripheral vision catching sight of Qi Yu and Si Qing.
Qi Yu and Si Qing exchanged glances. They were seated cross-legged in the western and northern positions.
In an instant, a formation radiating powerful spiritual energy slowly materialized beneath the Blood Demon Sha's feet.
This was a formation that the two of them had learned with Yan Hua long ago.
The formation's full name was the Exorcism Formation, a three-person operated array. One person stood at the front of the formation, with two others positioned to the west and north.
Once activated, the formation would forcibly strip the malevolent energy from any demonic or evil entities at its core.
The Blood Demon Sha never expected Yan Hua to have such a trick up his sleeve. Moreover, the master and disciples exchanged positions with incredible默契 (mòqì - tacit understanding), their movements coordinated by a single glance, bringing the entire formation to the surface with utmost speed.
He was caught completely off guard, with no time to defend himself.
In his confusion and rage, the Blood Demon Sha attempted to withdraw himself from the formation as quickly as possible, but the suction force of the Exorcism Formation was too formidable.
Instead of breaking free, the Blood Demon Sha became more deeply ensnared.
The blood malevolent energy on his body was continuously stripped away by the Exorcism Formation, the fumes of malevolent energy turning the entire sky a deep crimson.
It resembled a sea of blood.
Within it pulsed an eerie, dark malevolent energy.
Yan Hua, Qi Yu, and Si Qing surrounded him, seated cross-legged, their bodies wreathed in spiritual light. Amidst the surging malevolent energy, they appeared even more radiant and untainted. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The Blood Demon Sha's eyes began to turn bloodshot. The feeling of rapidly losing power made him unable to control his form. Eventually, he gradually filled the entire formation, emitting roars from his mouth, as if trying to use his immense evil energy to shatter the formation.
Qi Yu and Si Qing frowned deeply.
An Nuo and Shao Feng, noticing that the two were struggling, each placed a hand on Qi Yu and Si Qing's backs, providing them with spiritual energy support to expand the Exorcism Formation.
The surrounding individuals, due to the overflow of malevolent energy, were forced to disperse to the periphery, using Exorcism Talismans to clear away any malevolent energy that seeped into the human realm.
Meanwhile, Jin Yan, Yu Yuan, Wang Lan Qing, Chi Shang Ming, and others gathered the strength of the remaining individuals to protect the barrier between the South Sea and the realms of other races, preventing the malevolent energy from invading.
Si Qing gradually began to feel the strain.
Qi Yu frowned and looked up. Using the reflective light of the Yan Zhen Mirror, he faintly saw a black mist surging towards Yan Hua's direction.
"Master, watch your back!" Qi Yu shouted.
Yan Hua also sensed the evil malevolent energy.
However, as the primary controller of the formation, he was completely unable to split his attention.
Just as the black mist grew thicker and faster, hurtling towards Yan Hua's position, a figure clad in light cyan suddenly teleported over from the side. With resolute determination, they channeled their spiritual energy to confront the rapidly approaching black mist.
Qi Yu and Si Qing turned back in surprise.
It was Chen Xi, who had been throwing Exorcism Talismans nearby moments ago.
