Peerless Taoist

It was as if all the ferocious evil spirits from before had been controlled by Li Xu. They didn't roar and only looked at the crowd in silence.    

This was even more terrifying than the previous scene.    

Everyone's heart was filled with panic. They didn't know when these malevolent spirits would attack.    

"Why aren't they attacking us yet?" Someone said in a trembling voice.    

Fear began to rise in their hearts. No one could guarantee that they would be able to survive in front of these evil spirits.    

"There's a formation blocking this bronze gate. They seem to be afraid of the existence behind the gate" Lu Yu muttered to himself.    

At this moment, purple flames had already started to rise in his eyes, and it was beating slowly.    

The outline of the ground had been completely analyzed in Lu Yu's eyes. No details could escape his eyes.    

There was a formation under everyone's feet.    

This formation was connected to the ancient formation of the bronze gate. Just the part of the formation that was revealed was already extraordinarily powerful.    

Within a hundred mile radius of this place, it should be an enormous formation. It was like a True Dragon hibernating underground, immortal energy hidden, contained but not released, but even so, that type of supreme pressure was still extremely shocking.    

The person who built this place must have had some kind of extraordinary technique. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to ingeniously arrange such a huge formation underground.    

The formation was hidden underground, as if there was a barrier protecting everyone.    

The evil spirits did not show any signs of weakening their thirst for blood. It was just that they were afraid of some kind of taboo, which was why they had stopped moving forward.    

"The stone statue of the mysterious bird is breaking. It is the heart of the formation!"    

Lu Yu followed the formation and looked all the way. Finally, his gaze fell on the stone statues on both sides of the gate.    

The two stone statues were about fifteen meters tall, and they were carved into the shape of black birds. They looked like they were galloping towards the sun, and they gave off an ancient aura.    

When they had just arrived here, although some people had noticed the two statues, they hadn't paid much attention to them.    

When they heard what Lu Yu said, and looked at the two statues of mysterious birds on both sides, they instantly felt that there was something extraordinary about them.    

Rustle, rustle, rustle -    

Strands of fine yellow sand fell from the surface of the statues. Strands of fine cracks began to spread.    

The statue was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

"What will happen if the statue breaks?" Sacred Lord Huang Tian asked.    

Although they also had considerable strength, their attainments in array formations weren't as good as Lu Yu's.    

Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "If the statue breaks, the formation in the four directions will disappear. At that time, the group of evil ghosts in front of us will have no scruples and can charge in recklessly."    

Everyone was startled.    

No wonder the devils stopped moving. It turned out that they were waiting for the moment the barrier broke.    

"It's too fast. These statues didn't break so fast before!" Everyone began to panic.    

Just now, the Xuanniao statues had not changed so quickly.    

However, following Li Xu's appearance, the two Xuanniao statues were like rapidly burning torches, gradually disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

A few cultivators formed hand seals and tried to block the defeat of the Xuanniao statue, but it was to no avail.    

"In the time it takes an incense stick to burn at most, these two statues will be destroyed." Lu Yu said in a deep voice.    

Hearing this voice, everyone began to panic.    

Even King Qi, who had been watching from the sidelines, opened his eyes and frowned.
