Chapter 1217: A Great Demon Fights a Great Cultivator

in time.” As for the Elder Council, even if Xiao Jing Lei was as arrogant as ever, he wouldn't dare admit it openly. In Xiangguo, the Xiangshi royal family still held absolute power, something that...Originally, Yuan Tianfang didn't intend to come to the Xiao family himself. He just happened to be passing by when he heard about the Water Spirit Treasure and the reappearance of the First Qin River Stone Stele. Yuan Tianfang, his heart filled with excitement, rushed over immediately. Who knew he would encounter such a grand scene at the Xiao family There were shouts of killing everywhere, hundreds or even thousands of years, it was the first time anyone dared to cause trouble in the core territory of the Six Great Families.

Even Yuan Tianfang himself was taken aback after seeing these troublemakers. There was a twelfth-grade demon, Ao Qing'e, dressed in a phoenix feather cloak. The man known as Ziqing Shangren may not have been recognized, but just from his aura, he was undoubtedly a great cultivator. There were also other Nascent Soul cultivators, and even demons present.

However, the emergence of these treasures also corresponds to an astonishing secret about the river-guarding stone tablet. It is not surprising that these demons and monsters appear as well.

“Patriarch Xiao, since this treasure has appeared in my Xiao family, it belongs to my Xiao family. I ask you, for the sake of our two great families’ millennia-long friendship, not to disrupt this peace that has lasted for centuries.” Xiao Jingsong, whose cultivation was second only to Xiao Jinglei, led a group of cultivators to stand before Yuan Tianfang and his party.

"Elder Brother, if you wish to try out my Xiao family's Gui Water Divine Thunder Formation, I won't stop you. You are welcome to enter the formation and give it a try. As for the others, if they want to meddle in my Xiao family's affairs, they are also welcome to take their chance."

Xiao Jinlei's cold voice echoed from the formation. Once this formation fully exerted its power, not to mention a Yuan Tianfang, even three or five great cultivators falling into it would have to die with hatred. At this time, the two water spirits were just enveloped in the formation. If Yuan Tianfang wanted to break out forcefully, Xiao Jinlei wouldn't mind giving him a lesson. The recent turmoil within the Xiao family had resulted in significant casualties. If they showed weakness now, their losses would be even greater, losing both treasures and prestige. Under such circumstances, the six major families of Xiangguo might very well become five.

"Haha, Xiao Brother, you flatter me. This landscape of the wilderness belongs to us alone. There's no room for others to speak. However, if you find yourself unable to handle these unwanted guests, I wouldn't mind helping you send them on their way."

Yuan Tianfang let out a chuckle, seeing the astonishing celestial phenomena caused by the Gui Shui Shen Lei formation. Thunder shook for dozens of miles within the radius, surpassing the power of the Yuan Ying tribulation by ten or even dozens of times. Yuan Tianfang was secretly astonished and thought to himself that this Xiao family's final trump card was indeed extraordinary. Even he couldn't force his way through. This place was after all the territory of the Xiao family, and more importantly, it was the wedding day of the Xiao family's heir. He was just passing by coincidentally, and other powerful figures comparable to him had not come in person. Facing this capricious Xiao Jing Lei alone, he couldn't reason with him. If there were one or two other patriarchs present, Xiao Jing Lei would definitely not dare to be so arrogant.

Yuan Tianfang scanned the room, noting the presence of several Yuan Ying cultivators, including representatives from other prominent families. However, in this situation where a strong leader was lacking, all eyes were drawn to him. A sneer crossed Yuan Tianfang's mind. They wanted to use him as a pawn, but he wouldn't be so easily manipulated. Would they dare challenge the Gui Shui Shen Lei Array Even if Xiao Jing Lei didn't truly want to become an enemy of the Yuan family, the circumstances forced his hand. He had to make an example out of someone, and Yuan Tianfang became the target. Although his life wouldn't be taken, being focused upon by the Gui Shui Shen Lei Array would undoubtedly result in serious injury. In this chaotic situation, preserving his usefulness was the only way forward.

Yuan Tianfang squinted, sizing up the raging storm within the Lei Dian formation. Although this formation was beyond the capabilities of any individual to withstand once activated, Yuan Tianfang felt that the twelve-tiered Mo Zhao Qing Ao and several others, since they dared to enter the Xiao family, were certainly not ordinary people. They would never have infiltrated the Xiao family without any preparation at all.

At this time, Xiao Jinlei and several other Yuan Ying cultivators from the Xiao family were also within the formation. They wanted to kill these uninvited guests, which should be no problem. But could it be that these people had no backup plan

...A black-purple electric dragon swirled in the air, streaks of lightning crashing down. Unlike the usual, masculine and violent thunderbolts, this Gui Shui Shen Lei possessed a frighteningly cold energy that seeped into your bones.

"Master Ziqing, if you want to escape alone right now, don't blame us for dragging you down. If you want to leave together, we leave together. If you want to stay, then we stay together." Xiang Yihang saw that Master Ziqing's expression was unusual, and let out a sneer. At this time, the Gui Shui Shen Lei Formation had just been activated, and the power of the formation was far from its peak. The more powerful this formation, the longer it would take to brew from activation to the strongest attack.

Item Yi's flight launched the Yin-Yang Ring, directly dispersing the lightning that fell from above his head.

"How could an old man like me possibly do such a thing."

Purple Clearing Master saw Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Yihan flanking him from left and right, his brows couldn't help but twitch. Originally, these two together were already fearless of him. Moreover, before this, Lu Xiaotian's effortless capture of two water spirits in Moshang Lake had revealed that the other party's strength was far beyond what he had seen before. If he pulled back now, he really wouldn't be able to escape. The descending lightning pillar became more and more powerful. If he dragged it any longer, even if he wanted to leave, it depended on whether the Xiao family's Gui Shui Shenlei formation would agree to it.

At this time, the Azure Crocodile Demon Algae of the twelfth level was in a fierce battle with Xiao Jinglei. Xiao Jinglei, as one of the six great masters, wielded two purple-gold Phoenix Thunder Swords in his left and right hands. With a wave of his hand, thunderous sword wheels rolled in the air, accompanied by deafening thunderclaps that shook the heavens and earth. The imposing manner crushed mountains and rivers, forcing this Azure Crocodile Demon Algae to retreat step by step. Lu Xiaoteng and the others couldn't help but look sideways.

"Xiao Jinglei's Xuan Lei Ji Mie Da Fa is indeed cultivated to a higher level." Yuan Tianfang, whose status and strength were comparable to Xiao Jinglei's, narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very wary of this Xiao Jinglei and felt that confronting him would be unfavorable. Not only was his strength not stronger than Xiao Jinglei's, but within this Gui Shui Shen Lei Array, Xiao Jinglei, as a thunder cultivator, benefited from the power of the thunder within the formation. Even if Yuan Tianfang entered the array, he would still be dealt with severely by Xiao Jinglei."

This twelfth-tier Demon Algae Azure Crocodile demon originally thought that its strength was comparable to Xiao Jing Lei's, but when it actually fought, it realized the terrifying nature of Xiao Jing Lei. Especially within this large formation, empowered by a portion of the formation's power, as soon as they clashed, the Demon Algae Azure Crocodile fell into a passive position. The Thunder Saber Wheel rolled and rotated several times on its back, and if it weren't for its thick skin and flesh, it would have suffered no small amount of injury.

“No, this Xiao Jinglei is too powerful. If it were on an ordinary day, even if I was no match for him, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me. Now I must take the field or I will truly be killed by him within this formation.”

Opposite him, Xiao Jing Lei's dual thunder swords danced again, dozens of electric light-wrapped blades rolling in the sky, buzzing ominously. Even the eyes of the magic algae green crocodile demon couldn't help but show a trace of fear. But to let this Xiao Jing Lei so easily obtain the water spirit treasure it had longed for, how could the magic algae green crocodile bear itjia shields wielded by the Tengjia Youyuan. The light green You Mang took advantage of the opportunity to bite over. Lou Yikong's head was surging with starlight, and the Liuli Xingzhu, carrying the...
