Chapter 154: Offense and Defense
The small wooden cabin was located directly below the watchtower, providing a clear view of the situation outside the formation.
Liu Yu looked out and saw various magical artifacts shining with colorful spiritual light in the night sky, illuminating the area as bright as day. He noticed that among them, a dozen or so magical artifacts were particularly remarkable, their spiritual light even more dazzling, indicating they were the finest supreme magical artifacts.
These artifacts continuously bombarded the formation, diminishing its spiritual light and shaking the foundation of the black water extreme wind formation.
Flames in the shape of fire serpents, slender ice needles, and massive green wind blades fell upon the formation one after another, creating ripples and then dissipating into sparkling lights in the air.
Liu Yu's gaze sharpened, and although he was surprised, he remained calm. He quickly reached into his storage bag and took out the token that controlled the formation.
This token had been given to him in advance by Yan Hongyu, allowing him some control over the formation, but his authority was not as great as Yan Hongyu's, so he couldn't open the formation.
He swiftly formed several spell gestures with his hands, sending beams of light onto the token, which then emitted a thick white beam connecting to the formation.
Following Yan Hongyu's instructions, Liu Yu concentrated his mind, keeping a small part of his attention on the surroundings while using the token to stabilize the black water extreme wind formation.
After about three or four breaths, the formation gradually stabilized, the shaking lessening, but under the relentless assault of the enemy cultivators, the situation was still developing unfavorably.
Liu Yu did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief; he altered his spell gestures again and began to strike the token continuously.
More than a dozen dark wind blades took shape within the formation, stirring up the dust on the ground as they swirled around.
The dark wind blades were about a yard long and less than half an inch wide, yet the pressure they emitted was more than twice as powerful as the first-tier high-quality fireball technique.
“Whoosh!”
The dark wind blades formed quickly, and in less than two breaths, they vanished from sight, attacking the qi refinement stage cultivators outside the formation, moving even faster than usual.
Although the dark wind blades had much greater offensive power than the fireball technique, they posed little threat to foundation establishment cultivators; however, they were a deadly threat to qi refinement cultivators, who typically found them difficult to withstand.
If the enemy did not intercept them, the qi refinement cultivators would surely suffer casualties. Even if they did attempt to intercept, it would slightly reduce the pressure on the formation, making it worthwhile.
While controlling the formation to continuously conjure dark wind blades for attack, Liu Yu reached into his storage bag and flipped his hand, revealing a strangely shaped black sword blade in his palm.
It was the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade that had followed him for over ten years.
Liu Yu focused his mind, infusing pure magical power into the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade. He then divided it into seven smaller blades, holding the mother blade to control the six child blades to intercept the enemy's attack outside the formation.
He did not intend to reveal his true strength unless absolutely necessary, always maintaining the level of a newly established foundation cultivator.
Each child blade was slightly inferior to high-grade magical artifacts but was certainly not a match for supreme magical artifacts. If entangled, they could be easily destroyed. Instead of intercepting the enemy's magical artifacts, he controlled the child blades to intercept just before the enemy's attack reached the formation, swiftly retreating back under the protection of the formation to relieve some pressure.
