Chapter 434 - Ambush

Ever since the various sects of Yuzhou sent out their cultivators to the Yu Cheng, the area surrounding the entire Heaven-Shaking Peak had become a mixture of fish and dragons.

When Yang Junshan, Yan Qinxi, Ning Bin and the rest arrived at the Yu Cheng, because of some people spreading the news that Yang Junshan and Ning Bin were both inner sect and true disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, their group of people immediately attracted the attention of the various powers in the Heaven-Shaking Peak from the very beginning.

When Yang Junshan and the rest chose to exit the forest on the west side of the ruins and enter the forbidden array, they were even mocked by many. To actually choose the hardest place on the forbidden array to break through the array, was what people who didn’t know a thing about arrays would do.

It was also because of this that the various factions secretly paid less attention to Yang Junshan’s group, and the spies from the various factions that were waiting outside the forest also dropped quite a bit.

However, after several months had passed, Yang Junshan’s group still had not come out from the forest, which made things a little strange.

Within the forbidden array, before entering the next barrier of light, no one knew what kind of seal residual array they would encounter, so no one dared to say that they had all the necessary materials to break the barrier of light. Sometimes, after figuring out how to break the formation, they would have to leave the formation first because they lacked the necessary spirit materials.

Even if it was the publicly recognized strongest power in the exploration of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s Ruins, with Ying Leishang, the leader of the Jade Sword Sect’s disciples, and the leader of the Eastern Pearl, joining forces, they had come and gone twice after entering the forbidden array to rest. How could Yan Qinxi’s group of people have lasted until now, for them to be as powerful aot knife through butter, and have already delved into the inner regions of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s Ruins?

Hehe, this is truly a joke. Ying Leishang and Dongfang Zhu had gathered close to forty people from the two great sects, and two-thirds of them were in the late stage of the martial arts realm.

Even so, when the two sects worked together to open the eighth light barrier, it caused a small backlash from the restrictions. Ying Leishang and Dongfang Zhu didn’t even have time to take away all the treasures behind the eighth light barrier and had no choice but to leave the eighth light barrier first. Because of this, the two sects paid the price of three or four cultivators dying.

How many people were there in Yan Qinxi’s group? Wasn’t she the elite disciple of the Tan Xi Sect? Could she even be comparable to the alliance of the Yuxiao Sect and the Jade Sword Sect?

However, since they could not compare, there was another possibility that their group had not appeared in the forbidden array for so many months, and that was that all of them had died inside.

One must know that Yan Qinxi was a direct disciple of the Tan Xi Sect, her grandfather was the number one expert of the Tan Xi Sect, and was also one of the top cultivators in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou. Her father had already successfully advanced to the realms of life two months ago, and had become one of the famous figures in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou.

With such a backing, once Yan Qinxi died, the Tan Xi Sect would definitely be able to sense him, and it would definitely cause waves in the Tan Xi Sect. But in reality, until now, the Tan Xi Sect was still focused on suppressing the other three sects in the Xi’an County, and the cultivators of the Tan Xi Sect had yet to appear near the Heaven-Shaking Peak, which meant that Yan Qinxi did not die.

Aesult, the various forces around the Yu Cheng became more and more interested in what Yan Qinxi and the rest had encountered in the forbidden array, and during this period of time, the spies from the various powers around the forest had increased once again.

Yang Junshan and the others naturally did not know that the situation outside of the forbidden array had changed during this period of time. However, due to Yang Junshan’s caution, everyone chose to stay in the great formation to rest foeriod of time.

Several months later, the forbidden array that had penetrated deep into the forest finally began to fluctuate likipple in the water. When the spies hidden in the surrounding forest sensed the spirit energy fluctuation that had appeared in the forest, they immediately released the Message Talisman Glyphs in their hands. From afar, they looked like startled birds that were sent flying in all directions.

Yang Junshan was the first to walk out from the array and followed closely behind him. Yan Zhong, Ning Bin, Yan Qinxi and the rest of them appeared one after another, while Lu Jing and Ning Qing, the two array masters followed closely behind.

“This forest is too quiet, why isn’t there even a single bird?” Even Yan Qinxi, who wanted to be carefree, could feel that something was amiss.

The moment Yang Junshan and Yan Zhong stepped out of the forbidden array, they had already made their preparations. When Ning Bin heard this, he let out a bitter laugh and said: “Prepare for battle, I’m afraid this time won’t be too good.”

“Don’t worry,” Yang Junshan said as he continued to make his own preparations, “As long as all the forces that have come to the Heaven-Shaking Peak are not joining forces, with our strength, no one can do anything to us!”

Everyone thought back to their gains from the forbidden array and couldn’t help but feel at ease. Like Yan Qinxi, their expressions were even a bit excited, as if they were looking forward to what would happen next.

Just as the group of people walked out of the forest, Yan Zhong frowned and said: “They’re here!”

Yang Junshan’s consciousness did not reach Yan Zhong’s yet, but the moment Yan Zhong issued his warning, a streak of cold light had already swept past several tens of meters away, straight between Yang Junshan’s brows.

“Ha, it’s a flying sword!”

Yang Junshan’s eyes revealed a look of astonishment, but he did not panic at all. He slashed one hand in the direction of the cold light, shockingly, it was spirit of breaking mountain!

In the face of the sword techniques and abilities that the cultivation world relied on with their tyrannical offensive power, under the condition of not using any magic tools to assist, Yang Junshan actually wanted to use the spirit of breaking mountain to clash head on!

“You’re courting death!”

A loud shout came from over thirty meters away, as though Yang Junshan’s casual reaction had infuriated the person who had launched the sneak attack.

However, the sound of metal clanging against each other exploded in the air. The ear-piercing sound was like a steel knife scraping against bone. A spark flashed in the air.

‘s spirit of breaking mountain had disappeared, but the incoming cold light was also slashed over. After the light scattered, a three feet long sword with a blue blade was revealed.

“This is impossible!”

A tall figure jumped out from behind a bush, and witap of his feet, the distance between him and Yang Junshan closed to a distance of sixty meters.

He was skinny and had extremely long arms, his entire body was covered in a green robe, which covered his appearance. Reaching out with his finger, he pointed, and the flying sword that was randomly flying let out a clear cry, then transformed into a cold ray of light, flying towards Yang Junshan at an even faster speed.

“I’ll do it this time!”

Yan Qinxi was already eager to give iry, upon seeing this, she shouted out. She swung the Grand White Gold Dagger in her hand, and a golden screen of light once again struck the cold light.

“Ding ding dang dang”. The loud sound resounded through the forest, and in an instant, the two magic tools on the ground didn’t know that they had clashed several tens or even a hundred times. Their gazes could no longer detect any traces of magic tools on the ground.

However, the one who attacked was a cultivator at the great circle of perfection, while Yan Qinxi was only a late stage Pure Qi cultivator, it was obvious who was stronger.

Just as Yan Qinxi was about to engage in a fierce battle with the man controlling the flying swords, over ten figures suddenly appeared from different directions outside the forest, each of them having a cultivation at the late stage of martial arts realm or above, controlling the spirit tools or techniques in their hands to suddenly attack Yang Junshan and the rest.

Yang Junshan let out a “Heh” sneer, and said: “Everyone just relax and take action!”

He first threw a bell above his head, this bell released a crisp sound before expanding to become a five foot tall giant bell. Yang Junshan pointed at the giant bell above his head and said: “Defend the mountain!”

“Bang!” A loud bang came from above their heads, and a faint golden screen of light hung down from the giant bell, forming a protective screen in front of them. The dozen or so divine abilities and magic tools that had been used to launch a sneak attack were all repelled, while the giant bell above their heads released a dozen loud sounds in an instant, but remained unmoving.

In actuality, when the ten-odd abilities and tools landed on the giant bell in a flash, Yang Junshan’s face instantly turned pale white, but immediately after, the Nine-indomitable Spell circulated rapidly within his body, and the depleted spirit energy was immediately replenished.

At this time, because Yan Qinxi and the rest did not have to worry about their own protection, when the dozen or so divine abilities attacked them, they also used their own divine abilities and their magic tools to counterattack.

The dozen or so ambushers were caught off guard and they anxiously tried to defend themselves one after another. Three of them were immediately injured and vomited blood by Yan Zhong, Ning He and Wu Shuo, and five or six others appeared to be in an extremely sorry state.

Seeing that, disdain flashed across Yang Junshan’s face, he raised the Mountain Monarch Seal in his hand and dropped another set of magnetic light on the ground.

After using the Hand Mountain Spirit Art to control the High quality magical equipment, Yang Junshan actually activated the Mountain Monarch Seal once again.

When the magic tool for the attacker arrived, it suddenly felt out of control. When the owner of the magic tool tried to control the magic tool with all his might, he discovered that his attack had long been deflected by the magnetic light;

The more the masked cultivator fought, the more disheartened he became. The two sides had only fought for a few rounds, but under the situation where they had the advantage in numbers and sneak attacks, not only did they not gain the upper hand, they had even injured four people. There was even one person who was killed by an obviously senior Perfection of the cultivator elder.

All of this was because of that young cultivator who stood in the air with ease and ease, with two High quality magical equipmeniding on his head at the same time.
