Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Chapter 1457 The Difficult Life of the Two City Lords

Inside a corridor, various kinds of elemental energy surged and roared, and occasionally the cracking sounds of barriers breaking could be heard.

In the center of the corridor, Su Qian and True Person Fu Guang stood side by side, each holding a magical treasure and releasing a barrier to jointly resist the continuous attacks from outside the barrier.

The two were weak and disheveled, their hair loose and looking rather disheveled, clearly having suffered a great loss.

"You two are really something. Despite your insignificant strength, you dare to covet the inheritance of the Immortal Palace. You are simply courting death."

At the end of the corridor, a three-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) long, pointed-eared raccoon stood there, its deep blue vertical pupils gazing at the two people inside the barrier with a hint of amusement.

A dark, shimmering orb floated beside it, occasionally shooting out black arrows that hurtled towards the barrier.

The arrows were extremely powerful. Each time they were fired, they brought with them a whooshing sound of laws, shattering the barrier and creating many cracks that required a large amount of elemental energy to repair.

Su Qian and her companion didn't even have a chance to speak, silently focusing on their defense under the opponent's attacks.

Seeing this, the raccoon slowly approached, and smiled, "I just said that as long as you leave now, I can forgive and forget and let you two leave in peace. Why are you so persistent?"

"No matter how good these fragments of inheritance are, how can they compare to one's own life?"

Just then, another slightly shrill voice rang out from above: "Little Fox, these cultivators are courting death and don't want to live. We'll just grant them their wish. Why waste time talking nonsense with them?"

Its voice was indifferent and ruthless. Looking up in the direction of the voice, one could see two beams of seven-colored light floating motionless in mid-air. Beneath the light, a white crane stood on the barrier, its sharp claws slowly tearing at the barrier's light shield.

Those claws were extremely sharp, and each slash could tear open large gaps. With a little more force, they could easily break through the barrier's protective shield.

But it tore at it slowly and deliberately, as if it were playing around on purpose.

"you shut up!"

Seeing that all the sweet talk had failed to move the two men, the raccoon finally changed its expression, baring its teeth and angrily saying:

"Two idiots!"

“You two are as weak as ants. This low-level formation won’t last long. In less than half a day, you will be captured and eaten by us.”

As it spoke, it had already reached the barrier, its sharp claws piercing nearly halfway into it. Its cold eyes were filled with murderous intent, and it let out a vicious laugh.

"If that's the case, why don't you come out and let the two of you share the food? That would save us some effort, and wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qian and the other woman's expressions changed, secretly relieved that they hadn't believed the monster's lies.

A demon is a demon; no matter what level of cultivation it has, it can't change its nature. All those words I said earlier were just to trick them into leaving.

If they believe the raccoon's words and try to leave after removing the barrier, they will likely be severely injured by the raccoon as soon as they set off.

Su Qian felt a heavy weight in her heart, her face slightly pale, but her eyes showed little anxiety. She secretly transmitted her voice and asked:

"Simply defending is not a long-term solution. We must find a way to counterattack, otherwise we will be dragged down here and die. How are your preparations for that supernatural power coming along...?"

Before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed drastically. Forgetting about maintaining the formation, she wielded her magical treasure and slammed it forward while simultaneously retreating rapidly.

Master Fuguang also sensed the abnormality. His inner energy surged forth, and he used his immortal treasure to block backward while simultaneously retreating in a panic.

As their Yuan Power exploded, two immortal spirits appeared, forming two immortal treasure barriers of different colors, which quickly defended the two of them.

Just then, the raccoon's pupils suddenly contracted, it let out a sharp screech, and black light flashed on its claws as it forcefully tore downwards!

Swish!

With a flash of eerie light, a huge gap was torn open in the barrier, and the tanuki flashed through the barrier and appeared in front of the two, its sharp claws slashing forward to grab them.

At the same time, the white crane above also used a secret technique to suddenly tear open the array barrier. Its figure flashed and tore through space, appearing out of thin air behind the two.

Boom!

Caught in a pincer attack, the two barriers exploded almost simultaneously, causing a surge of Yuan energy. Su Qian and her companion turned pale, blood trickling from their lips, and were trapped in place, unable to retreat even half a step.

The shockwave exploded, stirring up the flowers and plants into a wild dance.

When the energy dissipated, the defensive barrier set up by the two had already been destroyed, and the raccoon and the white crane blocked them in the corridor from the front and back.

"The laws of space..."

Su Qian's tone was more solemn than ever before, her eyes fixed on the white crane behind her, her heart sinking heavily.

She had sensed something was wrong beforehand, so she was extra careful when she made her move, but she never expected that the white crane would actually possess spatial laws.

The laws of space are notoriously difficult to deal with. They strike silently and with unpredictable and hard-to-defend methods, and one can easily be injured if one is not careful.

Without the corresponding spatial magic treasure, no cultivator can fight against a cultivator who possesses spatial laws; they will only be killed by the opponent's incredibly powerful attacks.

"Fellow Daoist Su, this is troublesome."

Cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the Floating Light Immortal, and the thought of retreat had already arisen in his heart. He transmitted his voice and said:

"Or, I'll try another method..."

There's no escaping it.

Su Qian interrupted the other party, her immortal treasure shining brightly. She rose and sat cross-legged in mid-air, her fingers plucking at the strings, producing melodies that resonated with the soul.

"Let's give it our all."

The music emanated, creating echoing sound waves.

The two demons became visibly agitated after being swept by the sound wave, pacing back and forth in place.

Even though their physical bodies were restless and agitated, their eyes remained remarkably calm, even indifferent, as if they were looking at two dead people.

Seeing this, Master Fuguang abandoned his thoughts of escaping. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and a phantom image of a towering ancient tree appeared above his head.

The ancient tree was entirely green, but it quickly turned purple after it appeared.

In an instant, thick purple vines sprouted from his side, covering the entire corridor in the blink of an eye.

The vines were entirely purple, shimmering with a faint purple light, and were highly poisonous. The moment the two demons touched them, their bodies emitted purple smoke and sizzled. In pain, they hurriedly moved away, baring their teeth and letting out low growls.

The poison of this vine is indeed potent; even the two demons could not withstand it.

Even so, there was not a trace of joy in Master Fuguang's eyes.

He was wrong just now. Trying to escape from a monster that possessed the laws of space was nothing short of a pipe dream.

No matter how fast he is, the opponent's claws will appear directly in front of him in one step, and he will still be unable to escape death.

Since that's the case, we might as well do as Fellow Daoist Su suggested and fight these two demons. That way, we might still have a chance to seize the treasure.

"If Fellow Daoist Jiang were here, that would be wonderful."

As if possessed, Su Qian murmured something.

These demons were indeed difficult for them to defeat, but in front of Fellow Daoist Jiang, they could probably be killed with just one sword strike.

But Master Fuguang could only smile bitterly: "Why is Fellow Daoist Su saying these things? If Fellow Daoist Jiang were here, how would we compete for the immortal opportunities? Wouldn't he get them all by himself?"

"Of course I understand that principle, but..."

It's just a thought.

We are not in dire straits yet. If Jiang Han really comes, all the treasures here will probably be taken away by him.
