CHAPTER 75: An Overview of the Situation
In the early stage of qi refinement, cultivators have weak spiritual consciousness and cannot manipulate magical artifacts. They can only use talismans and other means to contend against cultivators in the mid stage of qi refinement. Once the talismans are exhausted, they cannot possibly resist the coalition cultivators relying solely on spells.
The spells released by early stage qi refinement cultivators are not very powerful, and their release speed is slow, making it difficult to compete with magical artifacts. Ordinary cultivators cannot unleash spells that exceed their cultivation level, and talents are ultimately just a small group of individuals.
After the casualties among the early stage cultivators of the Feng Family, a chain reaction occurred, prompting more coalition cultivators to withdraw and besiege the Feng Family cultivators, hastening their defeat.
In the cultivation world, deceit is rampant, and only a small portion of virtuous cultivators uphold "martial virtue." Clearly, the coalition cultivators lack such lofty awareness.
"As expected."
Upon seeing this, Liu Yu had an intuitive judgment of the situation. He then focused his spiritual consciousness on the battle involving Feng Tianwei, Hou Yanze, and Gongsun Cang.
Feng Tianwei's robe was stained with blood, his face as pale as paper, and a round shield floated before him.
He was controlling a high-grade magical artifact resembling a light green great halberd, barely fending off the attacks of the two, and was now reduced to mere defense, with no strength left to counterattack. It seemed that his life was in grave danger.
In fact, his situation was quite frustrating. With his cultivation level higher than that of the two opponents, under normal circumstances, he could have defended himself without issue. However, the injuries he sustained during the attack on the spiritual herb garden had not yet healed, and the recoil power from the broken jade spirit formation had added new wounds, damaging his meridians and slowing his magical power. He could only exert about seventy percent of his strength, putting him in a perilous situation under their onslaught.
Gongsun Cang, who intended to groom his son as the family heir, hated the Feng Family the most. His face was twisted with intense hatred, contrasting sharply with his previously kind demeanor.
Yet, hatred did not cloud his reason. Gongsun Cang commanded a white gourd to continuously unleash ice crystals, launching relentless attacks toward Feng Tianwei without giving him a moment's respite.
Although this level of attack posed no immediate fatal threat, it still consumed some of Feng Tianwei's energy, forcing him to expend magical power to resist.
Meanwhile, Hou Yanze wielded a black folding fan, fully utilizing the flexibility of this magical artifact. He quickly shifted positions, attacking Feng Tianwei from various angles, exhausting most of his concentration and forcing him to hurriedly control the light green great halberd for defense.
For a time, Feng Tianwei was precariously balanced. A moment of carelessness could cost him his life.
Both opponents were only controlling their magical artifacts from a distance, not daring to get too close, reserving some strength in case Feng Tianwei had any hidden trump cards to pull at the last moment.
However, even with Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang not using their full strength, it was clear that Feng Tianwei could not hold on much longer. Anyone with eyes could see it.
"Even if Feng Tianwei has some hidden trump cards, he cannot escape death; his condition is worsening by the minute," Liu Yu quickly judged. Even if he could take down one person, with his current injuries, he wouldn't escape from the other. Not to mention that he himself was present, ready to join the siege at the slightest sign of trouble.
Liu Yu would not allow such an enemy to live; Feng Tianwei's fate tonight was already sealed!
As many thoughts flashed through his mind, he directed a portion of his consciousness to this area and glanced at his few junior brothers.
