Chapter 67: Strike First, Win
Seeing that Li Wu had given up, Zhao Qianyuan felt confident and immediately said:
"In my opinion, rather than sitting and waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative."
"The Wu family and Xiayun Temple are more than a thousand miles apart. We have about fifteen minutes to make a move and destroy either of them."
Li Wuwei nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhao Qianyuan's idea of striking first, and then asked:
"Have you decided which one to start with?"
Zhao Qianyuan nodded and said:
"The Wu family's protective formation is called the Golden Light Yellow Origin Formation, while the Xiayun Temple's mountain-protecting formation is called the Earth Kun Qian Palace Formation. The latter is more defensive and probably will be difficult to break through in a short time. In my opinion, we should start with the Wu family."
"When to make our move?"
"tomorrow."
As Zhao Qianyuan spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Although Zhao Qianyuan has always been engaged in business, he is decisive and daring, qualities that many people lack.
"At that time, Brother Li, you, my sister, two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and more than forty Qi Refining late-stage cultivators will be present. In addition, I will also prepare formation-breaking talismans."
"Taking down the Wu family in fifteen minutes shouldn't be a problem."
Li Wu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Zhao Qianyuan's speed, but after a moment's thought, he nodded and said:
"Alright, let's set off tomorrow."
…………
The next day.
early morning.
A treasure ship sailed through the clouds.
Last night was Zhao Nanxu and Lu Sui's wedding night, and today they are on a treasure ship to attack the Wu family.
This gave Li Wu an idea. He looked at Lu Sui sitting to the side and smiled, saying:
"Brother Lu, how long did you sleep last night?"
Lu Sui paused in his reading of the alchemy book, glanced up at him, closed the book, and said solemnly:
"Brother Li, please don't joke around; important matters are at hand."
Li Wu laughed heartily, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Nanxu, who was sitting beside Lu Sui, meditating with her eyes closed, seemingly regulating her breathing.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and nodded to Li Wu:
"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Li for the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Li Wu waved his hand and said:
"No need to thank me."
At this moment, Zhao Qianyuan walked into the cabin and unfolded a map on the table.
"The Wu family is located in Cangwu Mountain. Their protective formation is called the Golden Light Yellow Origin Formation. This formation is based on seven golden banners and draws the earth's golden energy to form a shield, which not only provides defense but also has some counter-attack power."
As Zhao Qianyuan spoke, he took out a stack of talismans from his sleeve, placed them on the table, and said:
"This is the [Gold-Breaking Talisman], which is specifically designed to counter this type of metal-element protective formation. It should be able to break through the formation in about three breaths."
"At that time, Brother Li, you and my sister will enter together and destroy the formation from the inside. Once the formation is broken, I will lead the other cultivators to attack in together."
"Okay." Li Wu nodded, agreeing with the plan.
"We'll do it your way." Zhao Nanxu had no objections.
With the allocations finalized, the treasure ship continued its journey.
About 15 minutes later, the clouds in front suddenly turned golden.
It wasn't the morning sun shining, but rather the light and mist rising from Cangwu Mountain, like an inverted golden bell, covering an area of several miles.
"arrive."
Zhao Qianyuan looked serious.
The treasure ship was hidden in the clouds and concealed by a hidden formation, so the Wu family disciples did not realize that the enemy was already at their doorstep on their own mountain.
"Brother Li, Sister, it's up to you two now," Zhao Qianyuan said, looking at the two of them.
Don't worry.
Zhao Nanxu said coldly.
"Be careful," Lu Sui said with a worried expression.
Li Wu patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, Brother Lu, the advantage in this battle is on our side."
After saying that, a long halberd appeared in Li Wu's hand, and then lightning crackled around him as he flew towards Cangwu Mountain.
Zhao Nanxu drew his sword and followed closely behind.
A few breaths later, the two figures appeared in the sky above Cangwu Mountain, looking at the golden array with calm expressions.
At this moment, the Wu family cultivators in the mountains finally discovered the two of them.
Then a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining flew out in a flying shuttle, cupping his hands and saying:
"May I ask what brings you two seniors to my Wu family?"
Zhao Nanxu's face was cold and stern as he said in a chilling voice:
"I will destroy your Wu family."
Having said that, he stopped talking, drew his sword and slashed, and in an instant, a crescent-shaped sword aura shot out.
"forward……"
Before the Wu family cultivator could speak, he was snapped in half at the waist.
Then, Zhao Nanxu threw more than a dozen [Gold-Breaking Talismans] towards the large formation below.
Then the [Golden Light Yellow Origin Grand Array] began to shake violently. The inverted golden light shield finally gave way, and cracks spread like a spider web before it shattered with a loud crash, leaving a small opening.
With a thought, lightning surged around Li Wunian, and he transformed into a streak of silver-white lightning, rushing straight into the crack in the great formation.
Zhao Nanxu followed closely behind, her sword flashing like a bolt of lightning, slicing through the remaining golden mist.
Inside the formation, the Wu family was in complete chaos.
The moment the great formation was broken, the entire Cangwu Mountain trembled.
Dozens of figures rushed out from various halls and pavilions; they were all elders of the Wu family.
"Quickly, go and call the Ancestor!"
With a clear goal in mind, Li Wu opened his spiritual sense and scanned the entire Cangwu Mountain, quickly locating the array flags.
Each array flag is protected by a Qi Refining level array and guarded by three or four Qi Refining cultivators.
However, in Li Wu's eyes, formations and cultivators at the Qi Refining level were no different from ants.
He appeared instantly at the location of the array flags, chanted incantations, and unleashed a bolt of lightning.
"boom!"
The Qi-refining level formation couldn't even withstand Li Wu's attack before shattering instantly.
Before the three Qi Refining cultivators guarding the formation could react, they were sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by the aftershocks of the lightning.
Li Wu raised his hand and grabbed the golden banner along with the broken array base. He exerted force with his five fingers, channeling spiritual power into it, and directly shattered the internal restrictions of the golden banner.
"one side."
Li Wushen silently counted, his figure disappearing from the spot, turning into a bolt of lightning and heading straight for the next array flag.
At the same time, spiritual light shone from all the halls and pavilions on Cangwu Mountain, and the Wu family cultivators finally came to their senses from the initial panic and began to organize their defenses.
"Stop the one using lightning!"
An elder of the Wu family, who was at the late stage of Qi Refining, roared and led seven or eight other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators into the air, chasing after Li Wu.
On the other side, Zhao Nanxu was also making rapid progress.
Her swordsmanship was extremely fierce; with each strike, a Wu family cultivator would fall.
Unlike Li Wu's thunderous power, Zhao Nanxu's killing intent was even more ruthless. Wherever the sword light passed, before even a scream could be heard, the opponent was already decapitated.
At this moment, in the cave behind the mountain.
A Wu family disciple hurriedly knelt down outside the cave.
"Ancestor, the enemy is attacking! The clan is in imminent danger!"
Inside the cave, an elderly man with white hair suddenly opened his eyes.
This person was none other than the patriarch of the Wu family, a cultivator at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, who had been in seclusion for many years in an attempt to break through to the late stage.
"Who dares to offend the Wu family!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and a golden beam of light shot into the sky.
Li Wu looked up and saw an old Taoist priest dressed in a golden robe.
It was none other than Wu Qingyuan, the patriarch of the Wu family.
