Chapter 175 3 Foundation Building
"call"
Just as Cui Ying's pupils contracted slightly, those fireballs fell directly from the sky and landed precisely where their house was located.
Silently, the fireballs transformed into a blazing red sun, rising up and completely enveloping the small courtyard shrouded in a hazy spiritual light.
"Boom"
Then, several deafening roars echoed from the blazing sun.
And there were rings of purplish-red shockwaves that swept wildly in all directions, flattening all uneven places in their path, and burning all the nearby vegetation to ashes in the terrifying heat that had already been withstood.
Fortunately, the Cui family lived in a remote area, with their nearest neighbor being hundreds of feet away. Even so, the courtyards of several nearby cultivators were still affected.
Fortunately, the protective array held out for a moment, but only for a moment. The seemingly impregnable array began to crack and show several cracks on its surface, looking as if it was about to collapse.
Fortunately, at this moment, the blazing sun in the distance, after unleashing most of its power, lost so much that it could no longer sustain itself. After flickering a few times, it suddenly dissipated, leaving only clusters of scorching flames and ashes scattered on the ground.
Just then, a powerful aura emerged from the darkness in mid-air, and with a wave of one hand, it shouted:
"Shoot! Leave no one alive!"
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of Qi Refining experts behind him rushed out like raindrops, each using their own methods to quickly attack Shuangling Village.
This commotion naturally alerted the cultivators in the village. The village gong immediately rang out, and Xie Qing, the village chief with the highest cultivation level, loudly demanded:
"Where did these petty thugs come from, daring to raid my Shuangling Village at night? Do they want to die?"
But the visitors ignored them, and soon the village was ablaze with fire, and people were running around everywhere.
The sounds of magical artifacts colliding, spells being cast, magic arrays exploding, and houses collapsing rose and fell, making one feel as if they were on a battlefield.
But at that very moment, the sounds of swords and spears clashing suddenly rang out from afar, followed by a clear voice shouting across the distance:
"Who are you, fellow Daoist, daring to cause trouble on the territory of my Thundercloud City? Do you really think there's no one else in my city?!"
The sound was heard from afar, but by the time it landed, it was already outside the village, arriving with incredible speed.
At the same time, a sound like a gong rang out from all directions of the village:
"The Lei family's Wind Wing Army is here. You scoundrels, wait to die!"
After settling her family in, Cui Ying stood alone atop the mountain, sensing the three powerful auras below, each as imposing as a mountain, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two Foundation Establishment cultivators have arrived; they should be safe."
Suddenly, a crimson light shone brightly from the foot of the mountain and flashed towards the southwest of the village.
Under the light, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a yellow robe appeared. He was none other than Guo Jinlun, the twelfth-ranked elder of the Lei family.
Guo Jinlun pulled out a jade seal the size of a fist from his wide sleeve and smashed it heavily against the flashing flames, instantly igniting a cloud of smoke.
"What a brilliant plan!"
Guo Jinlun immediately understood the other party's intention: this attack was not meant to harm him, but to provide cover for his escape.
Having figured this out, Guo Jinlun immediately summoned a hurricane to disperse the smoke in the sky, and then used his powerful divine sense to lock onto a figure in the distance that had already turned into a streak of light and escaped.
Just as he was about to give chase, a clear voice called out from behind:
"Elder Guo, you are responsible for guarding this place with the Windwing Army. If any cultivator dares to resist, kill them without mercy!"
"Your order is obeyed, Young City Lord!"
Upon seeing the owner of the voice, Guo Jinlun showed no intention of refuting it. He immediately responded by throwing the jade seal-shaped magic artifact in his hand into the air, and under its activation, countless golden lights were projected from it.
The Windwing Army, which had been lying in ambush nearby, had also arrived at Shuangling Village long ago. With the blessing of the golden light, they immediately rushed into the village and began to fight the uninvited guests.
Just as Cui Ying breathed a sigh of relief, she saw a red streak of light shooting towards her from afar. Its speed was so great that she couldn't even see the figure inside.
Cui Ying felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly made a hand seal, preparing to ride the clouds to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
But the red light made a turn in the low sky and disappeared into a nearby mountain peak in a flash.
"Fellow Daoist, you still want to run away at this point? Don't you think it's too late?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator in the white robe caught up and, upon seeing this, sneered and questioned him.
Then, in the star-filled night, countless clouds suddenly condensed out of thin air. After rapidly converging in the same place, a loud roar suddenly rang out from within, and a thick bolt of lightning flashed, crashing heavily down onto the mountain peaks below.
"boom"
Even though she was nearly a hundred feet away from the mountain peak, Cui Ying still felt an extremely terrifying force descending from the sky. Then, her ears rang, and the hundred-foot-tall mountain peak not far away shattered inch by inch and collapsed into dust with a deafening roar.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, all the Qi Refining cultivators who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded, clearly shocked by the methods of the Foundation Establishment expert.
Just then, with a "whoosh" sound from under an ancient tree below, the ball of red light shot out again, and after seeing Cui Ying's face clearly, it launched another scorching fireball without hesitation.
As soon as the flames appeared before her eyes, a scorching heat that made her soul tremble rushed towards her.
Her pupils contracted, and just as she was about to unleash all her defensive measures, she heard that clear, angry voice ring out again from above:
"You dare to hurt someone right in front of me? You're really audacious!"
At the same time, a surge of magical energy appeared in the void beside Cui Ying, and a tall figure in a white robe flashed into existence. With a single hand gesture, a bolt of silver lightning appeared out of thin air again, instantly shattering the huge fireball into pieces.
A dazzling bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the nearby mountains as if it were daytime.
Only then did Cui Ying see the true form of the red streak of light: a gaunt male cultivator dressed in a blood-red robe.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at himself and the white-robed cultivator who appeared beside him with a fierce and venomous gaze.
Cui Ying was also curious and was about to turn her head to see who had saved her when the red-robed cultivator moved and transformed into a streak of red light, shooting away into the distance.
"Since you're here, leave your life behind!"
The white figure beside her snorted coldly, but after a slight hesitation, it grabbed Cui Ying's shoulder, and then a silver light swirled around its body, carrying her away as it transformed into a ball of silver light and chased after her.
