Chapter 983: Battle Against the Wolf Pack
Juexin Zhenren's disciple, Jue Yuan, were separately protected by Xiong Ao and Juexin Zhenren's protective Qi nearby, looking unaffected.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to transl...Shadows danced in the cave, amidst jagged rocks. White skeletons could be seen here and there. Occasionally, piercing howls of ghost wolves echoed through the darkness. These were intentional acts by the ghost wolves to create an atmosphere of terror, putting psychological pressure on Lu Xiaotien and his companions.
“My friend, you seem unaware that while this formation is easy to acquire, mastering it is extremely difficult. I've been studying it for several months now and consider myself quite proficient. With your newfound knowledge of the formation, you wouldn't be able to fully unleash its power. The secrets within are not something you can grasp overnight. If I were to handle the formation, I could definitely strike these Mirage Wolves hard. What do you think”

Xiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, naturally unwilling to let Lu Xiaoteng control this formation so easily. Although they were forced to temporarily join forces under pressure at the moment, he wouldn't easily pass on this formation to Lu Xiaoteng.
After all, whoever holds such powerful formations has absolute authority and significantly increased survivability. Such an opportunity, even if there's the slightest chance of contention, Item Yi-hang naturally wouldn't readily give up.
“The battle formation is mine. You want me to let you control it Then we shall die together.”
Lu Xia Tian coldly snorted. He had several Yuan Ying in his hand, unused, already a perfect trump card. As for Xiang Yi Hang, no one knew how many Yuan Ying he had. What if the opponent controlled many Yuan Ying, controlling this Xue Ding Lian Mo Array With their knowledge of this array, the power they could unleash would surely surpass him. While the mirage wolf was formidable, its strange aspect still lay in the layers upon layers of illusions that made it difficult to deal with. As for its true combat power, everyone wasn't a fool and could naturally see that although it was difficult to cope with, if there were no those illusions interfering, dealing with the mirage wolf would still be possible.
If his own blood cauldron refining devil formation fell into Xiang Yihan's hands, the power it exerted would far exceed imagination. After dealing with the mirage wolf, Xiang Yihan would then pounce on others one by one and clean them up, leaving him with nowhere to turn for help. Although this possibility was extremely small, Lu Xia Tian would never willingly give up control to anyone else.
Xiang Yi'hang was not someone who would give up easily. Seeing Lu Xiaoxian refuse, he immediately settled his expression and stopped dwelling on this issue. Between the two of them, one person would always back down first. This silver-haired cultivator was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul. He didn't believe the other party could withstand the attacks of the Mirage Wolf for longer than him. When the time came and he couldn't hold on any longer, wouldn't he obediently submit
In the ghastly and pitch-black cave, there was no light, and one could not see their hand in front of their face. This darkness made little difference to a Nascent Soul cultivator compared to daylight, but it did add a few more points of eerie atmosphere.
"Aw, after the small patch, the pack of wolfhounds attacked the few people again. Lu Xiaoteng felt like he was trapped in a den of wolves. In his sight, there were only figures of black wolves attacking."
He blocked the attack from the left, but it was difficult to defend against the right. This pack of wolves seemed relentless.They attacked with numerous illusions, true and false, real and unreal. It was impossible to tell how many there were. These wolf phantoms also had a certain amount of defense. Attacks that were too weak were useless. For example, the woman in colorful robes summoned a seven-colored stinging bear. The bear's back spikes were like needles, scattering and piercing through many wolf illusions. However, those black shadows either healed quickly or generated even more shadows. Meanwhile, the true body of the wolves vanished again, surrounded by countless illusory phantoms.
Item 1 reached out his hand, and two flying swords, one black and one white, appeared. The surfaces were covered with patterns that resembled dragon scales. The white sword carried a yang energy, while the black sword possessed a yin energy, achieving a perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility. The two swords trembled in mid-air, unleashing countless sword qi that slashed towards the throngs of lip wolves before them.
However, the result was similar to the situation with the rainbow-colored female cultivator earlier. It only managed to force the Chimera Wolf's true form out and shattered some of the shadows. But soon, the Chimera Wolf's true form disappeared again.
Idle attacks are completely useless.
“Anyone with attacks like Spiritual Fire or Ice Mist, give it a try!” Lu Xia Tian said in a deep voice.
Everyone present could only smile wryly and shake their heads. Even among cultivators from these two sects, those capable of such feats were still a minority.
"Lu Ge, don't you have a kind of extraordinary spiritual fire on your body" The Eight-legged Demon Ox beast said anxiously.
>
"I was attacked by a demonic python before, and after being separated from you, I went through another great battle. My strength is now nearly depleted." Lu Xia Tian said in a low voice.
Yi Yi's face turned pale, and he let out a wry smile in his heart. If he hadn't schemed against the Eight-legged Demon Bull Beast and Lu Xiaoteng, perhaps his chances of escape would have been greater now. But before that, they were enemies, and it was only natural for them to try their best to kill each other. Could he blame them now
When Lü Xiaitian couldn't hold on any longer and handed over the Blood Cauldron Pillar to him, one black and one white flying sword rolled in the air like a dragon, smashing the approaching Mirage Wolves into pieces, even injuring one of their bodies. This Yin-Yang Dragon Scale Sword protected Xiang Yihang tightly, allowing him to protect himself for a while.
The Eight-Legged Demon Bull roared, its bellow serving as a deterrent against attacks from one direction. The roar carried a psychic attack, but it couldn't last long. Just before the Mirrored Wolf could attack, its movements lagged for a moment. Seizing the opportunity, the Eight-Legged Demon Bull swung a massive, crude stone hammer, smashing it down onto the pack of black wolves before it. However, the psychic effect didn't last long, and in a blink, the Mirrored Wolf recovered to normal.
In contrast, the female cultivator in colorful attire and the old man with a high nose had a harder time supporting themselves.
A female cultivator in colorful attire sacrificed a snow-white spider. Its legs were nearly a zhang long, and a large clump of silk was sprayed out. Even the Mirage Wolf showed some apprehension, but with so much silk, it could naturally restrain the Mirage Wolf's movements. With less, it wouldn't be of much use. The battle with the Mirage Wolf was equally fierce and unresolved.
While the old man with a sky-facing nose was in worse shape at this time, a silver tiger-head knife flipped up and down, posing little threat to the mirage wolf. If not for the purple vine armor on his body, he would have been seriously injured, or even killed long ago. Even so, the purple vine armor had been attacked by the mirage wolf several times and was already covered in claw marks. Judging by this, without any special means, it wouldn't last long.
“Want to see who can last longer” Lu Xiaoteng sneered, eight ethereal flying swords surrounded him tightly, constantly slashing the charging mirage wolves apart. The ethereal sword formation was a perfect whole, protecting Lu Xiaoteng airtightly.
Although Lu Xia Tian felt a sense of relief after the sword formation was formed, especially after comprehending its essence, the sword formation's demand for magical power allowed him to hold on for the moment. However, compared to this, the consumption of these mirage wolves was much smaller. Even with his sharp sword formation, he was now at a disadvantage.
Lu Xiaitian's mind raced, while Xiang Yihang's face darkened. He hadn't expected this fellow, who was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, to possess such a formidable sword array. The sharpness of the array and the power it unleashed were already comparable to his Yin-Yang Dragon Scale Sword. Once this array reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, he would likely be no match for Lu Xiaitian.Lu Xia Tian in succession.“You all withdraw.” With a flick of his left hand, Lu Xia Tian stopped Yun Chong Shu and Yun Chong Shan who were about to reinforce.Lu XiaTian was surrounded by a myriad of f...
