Chapter 332: Do Normal People Exist in the Martial World?

Whoosh—

Feng Chaoyang condensed his divine light into a spear over a zhang long, thrusting it through the air with a sharp whistle!

Luo Xiaoyong raised his hand and grasped the air, materializing an ice sword to clash with Feng Chaoyang's radiating spear!

The two exchanged attacks for only a few rounds, but it caused the peak of the central mountain to shake with flying sand and stones. The sun and moon lost their radiance. The star wheel and moon wheel in the sky collided, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Li Shiyi, trembling with fear as she watched nearby, timidly shouted, "Stop fighting!"

But the two blinded by their rage and paid her no attention.

Feng Chaoyang's hands moved swiftly, forming intricate seals. In an instant, a blinding flash of divine light erupted, conjuring a clone made of divine light. With synchronized precision, both bodies of divine light lunged at Luo Xiaoyong and attacked at the same time.

Seeing this, Luo Xiaoyong retreated, raising his hands to form a finger seal. The wind and snow around him swirled with renewed ferocity, transforming the entire peak into a frozen, icy world in an instant!

Feng Chaoyang's two bodies of divine light slowed to a crawl as dozens of icy beams shot out from all directions, instantly coalescing into multiple clones of Luo Xiaoyong.

Ice clones!

When Jiang Yuebai was fighting Ling Ao, she had used similar techniques, creating a clone with ice that was hard to defend and moved extremely fast.

However, Luo Xiaoyong wasn't using these clones for mere deception; All the clones raised their arms in perfect synchrony and aimed their fingers directly at Feng Chaoyang.

It was almost as though Luo Xiaoyong was saying, "You have one clone but I have over a dozen! Let's see who has more manpower!"

Each clone performed the Lunar Deity's Finger, and in an instant, dozens of fingers were aimed at Feng Chaoyang!

Boom—

If Feng Chaoyang were struck by this attack, his yang energy would be completely dispelled and he would need to rename himself as Feng Chaoyin[1]!

Sensing danger in that split second, Feng Chaoyang reacted instantly. The clone made of divine light transformed into an arrow and shot upward. Just before the dozens of Lunar Deity's Fingers could reach him, his body and the clone swapped positions in a flash of light.

Whoosh—

This maneuver helped him evade the deadly strike, but the clone shattered in the process!

Feng Chaoyang's actual body materialized in mid-air. Without wasting any time, he immediately launched a counterattack, hurling a powerful punch downward at Luo Xiaoyong!

"Hah—" He shouted violently as he descended from the sky.

His form resembled a celestial meteor!

Having missed his strike, Luo Xiaoyong immediately raised his palm to the sky, ready to meet Feng Chaoyang's punch!

Their clash was inevitable, like a meteor that was about to collide with earth!

Li Shiyi was so scared that she squinted her eyes shut.

Whoosh.

Although Chu Liang wasn't afraid, fighting in this hidden realm would be exhausting no matter the outcome. Additionally, it wasn't just two sides involved; four sects were competing for the Phoenix Sheep Life Fruit.

So, Chu Liang quickly came up with a plan: he would take advantage of the handshake to steal something from Feng Chaoyang, then let him fight Luo Xiaoyong while he temporarily escaped.

The General's Constellation Orb was extremely valuable and undoubtedly one of the top treasures in Feng Chaoyang's enchanted storage tool. The fact that Chu Liang managed to steal it on his first try indicated his luck was at its peak.

However, the precious orb had intricate engraved enchantments, making it difficult to immediately test its various powers. Therefore, Chu Liang decided to put it away for now.

He then took out five Puppet Pills.

He used the Army of Beans!

Boom!

He created five puppets and had them set up the enchanted formation, while he soared into the air.

For the Phoenix Sheep Life Fruit to appear, the inferno phoenixes and mountain sheep in the hidden realm had to be killed first. Thus, Chu Liang needed to hurry.

In addition, killing the inferno phoenixes would also reward him with the highly valuable Phoenix Spirit Fire Seeds.

Chu Liang had previously tested the Phoenix Spirit Fire Seed. When infused with foundational qi, it could ignite the Phoenix Spirit Divine Fire, which would burn for an hour. Although this fire wasn’t particularly useful in combat, it was extremely valuable for alchemy and tool-making.

Chu Liang had been studying alchemy recently, and the Phoenix Spirit Divine Fire would greatly enhance his practice. With this fire, he could refine many spirit plants and valuable items that were challenging to process at his current cultivation level.

The inferno phoenixes and mountain sheep weren’t real creatures; they were created from a special fruit called Phoenix Sheep Life Fruit combined with the flames in this realm. They exhibited predictable behaviors and lacked intelligence.

Chu Liang decided to use this situation to his advantage.

He took to the air, and the nearby inferno phoenixes immediately charged at him. Instead of escaping to a safe spot, he led these phoenixes in a circle.

After drawing nearly a hundred more phoenixes into the chase, Chu Liang changed direction and flew towards the area where his puppets were set up.

Over a hundred inferno phoenixes followed Chu Liang in a powerful swarm, all targeting him alone.

But suddenly, a surge of qi erupted from below! The five puppets, each controlling a segment of the Five Elements Formation Diagram: Celestial Trap, activated it simultaneously, unleashing a massive vortex of foundational qi that spiraled upward into the sky.

Boom——

In the blink of an eye, the vortex tore apart dozens of inferno phoenixes!

Although the five figures managing the formation were just puppets created by the Army of Beans technique, Chu Liang's multitasking and ample supply of qi made their performance as powerful as if five Golden Core Realm cultivators were activating the formation together.

Other Golden Core Realm cultivators couldn't possibly sustain such massive consumption, but Chu Liang, with his two ultimate-tier Golden Cores, had an immense and overflowing reservoir of qi.

He never had to worry about qi depletion, which meant that it was more efficient for him to deploy the formation by himself. Setting it up by himself would ensure that the qi used was maintained at a high quality. Even if the entire Mountain God Memorial Ceremony team were present, it would still be better for the others to support Chu Liang while he set up the formation by himself.

As the mindless inferno phoenixes charged at Chu Liang one after another, Chu Liang was not afraid. Instead, he felt thrilled and delighted!

With so many inferno phoenixes around, he knew he would collect a significant amount of Phoenix Spirit Fire Seeds today!
