The Fire Serpent had no visible external injuries, but blood was seeping from its lips, and a section of its abdomen had caved in, indicating it had suffered serious internal injuries. It was evident that Hezi had not attacked directly, so the Fire Serpent's wounds were likely the result of Hezi reflecting its own attacks back at it.
Gold Wheel exhaled and elegantly flicked his robe as he stepped forward.
"Senior Brother!" Lingfeng quickly called out to Gold Wheel, then grabbed his sleeve and said, "Since Hezi dares to attack the Demon Suppression Sect, it shows he has some confidence. Although this person is not well-known, the only one who can fight him is the Sect Leader. I think we should have the Sect Leader intervene personally to avoid further injuries to our disciples!"
Gold Wheel remained silent for a moment, looking up at Hezi, who wore a smile that concealed a blade. Gritting his teeth, he said, "The Sect Leader has his reasons for not intervening, but someone must step forward in this matter!"
"If we're going to step forward, we should all go together. There's no need to be polite with such a despicable man!" Lingfeng said without hesitation.
The Peak Masters from the other three peaks nodded in agreement and began to draw their weapons.
"It's a pity that the Fire Serpent is injured; otherwise, if we combined our Five Elemental Spells, we could definitely contend with him!" Mu Qiu said regretfully.
"Sister!" Lingfeng smiled and called out warmly, "Don't forget, I'm an expert in Five Elemental Spells!"
In fact, compared to others, Lingfeng's Fire Control Technique could even rival that of the Fire Serpent. Although the Fire Serpent was the Peak Master of Fire Peak, its Fire Control Technique was limited to basic skills and had not reached the true limits of fire mastery.
Gold Wheel couldn't help but smile and nodded appreciatively at Lingfeng.
Being able to fight alongside four Peak Masters made Lingfeng very happy. He then snapped his fingers, causing sparks to erupt from his fingertips that gradually expanded into a Fire Phoenix.
The other four Peak Masters were astonished; they hadn't expected Lingfeng's Fire Control Technique to reach such a level.
"With the Fire Phoenix's assistance, we will certainly have an easier time!" Lingfeng winked at the four Peak Masters before leaping into action. He drew out his Connecting Rod and charged towards Hezi alongside the Fire Phoenix.
Hezi merely smiled lightly; that disdainful expression truly irritated Lingfeng. He then commanded the Fire Phoenix with his mind, sending a blazing fireball hurtling towards Hezi.
The other four Peak Masters nodded to each other as the war began. They then lifted off the ground, forming a formation of the Five Elements. The Fire Phoenix sealed off Hezi's head, trapping Hezi in the center.
Hezi naturally did not care; he simply waved his sleeve, and Lingfeng's fire disappeared without a trace.
Of course, Lingfeng had only released a false technique to create an illusion for the Five Elements.
At this moment, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were all in place. Lingfeng was proficient in Five Elemental Spells, and Gold, Wood, Water, Earth, along with the Fire Phoenix represented the five elemental forces. Thus, Hezi was now facing two layers of Five Elemental Spells.
Moreover, the power of the Fire Phoenix was particularly strong. Although it was somewhat unstable, as long as the enemy let their guard down, it was still possible to use spells to counter them.
Lingfeng signaled to everyone and then began to chant something. Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix let out a hoarse roar and transformed into a cloud of fire that completely blocked Hezi's escape route. The other four Peak Masters also used their Spiritual Energy to create protective barriers around themselves, while Lingfeng smiled quietly and watched Hezi.
Hezi naturally looked down on them; they hadn't even officially started fighting yet and their side had already released protective barriers. This made Hezi feel contemptuous. However, he did not realize that for Five Elemental Spells, defense was often the best form of attack. This situation perfectly aligned with Lingfeng's intentions.
"Fire Phoenix, Blazing Bomb!" Lingfeng shouted loudly at the Fire Phoenix.
Upon hearing the command, the Fire Phoenix flapped its wings rapidly, and fireballs began to shoot out from the cloud of fire like a volcanic eruption, heading straight for Hezi.
At this moment, Lingfeng did not need to split his focus on dealing with Hezi; it was as if he had gained an additional ability.
Although Hezi was not afraid of Blazing Bombs, he found himself unable to break free from the encirclement and had no choice but to release a protective barrier to keep the Blazing Bombs at bay.
The Blazing Bombs fell like rain onto the protective barrier that Hezi had set up, quickly engulfing it in flames.
Lingfeng did not dare to delay; seizing the opportunity while Hezi was still trapped, he shouted, "Quickly set up the Five Elemental Spells!"
The other four Peak Masters nodded nervously, then each released their Spiritual Energy towards the person opposite them. The Spiritual Energy, after passing through the protective barrier, reflected onto another person's barrier. Thus, a Pentagram composed of five elements of Spiritual Energy appeared in the air, with Hezi trapped in the center of the Pentagram.
The flames on Hezi's protective barrier gradually extinguished, and then with a loud bang, the protective barrier around Hezi suddenly shattered, causing the flames above to scatter.
"Hahaha, is this the Five Element Formation? It looks like nothing special!" Hezi mocked as colorful lights appeared around him.
"Hezi, don't get too cocky, and don't underestimate the power of the five elements!" Lingfeng manipulated the Spiritual Energy in his hands and looked at Hezi with pride. Then he bit his finger and pointed at the Spiritual Energy in his hand.
The other four Peak Masters also bit their fingers and let their blood drip onto the Spiritual Energy they held.
Although Hezi didn't know what they were doing, he sensed it was not just for show. He couldn't afford to let them act freely, so he drew a Purple Longsword and slashed at one of the beams of light from the Pentagram. However, that beam of light was like water; it wouldn't break and could even penetrate his longsword before merging again.
"I knew it! Your Five Elemental Spells are just for show!" Seeing that this formation had no profound mystery, Hezi became less cautious and flew straight towards Lingfeng. To his surprise, as soon as a corner of his clothing touched the light, it was instantly absorbed into it.
"W-What is happening?" Hezi was baffled.
Lingfeng grinned and said proudly, "Hezi, don't you know that all things in the world are born from the five elements? This formation is meant to return you to dust!"
Before Hezi could react further, a Fire Phoenix suddenly dove down towards him with the momentum of an eagle catching a rabbit.
Hezi gritted his teeth; the Purple Longsword in his hand spun rapidly for several circles. Then a flash of spiritual light appeared, and the Fire Phoenix split into several pieces. However, since the Fire Phoenix had no life and was merely controlled by Lingfeng's Spiritual Energy and intent, it instantly reformed after being divided and maintained its original speed.
Hezi felt somewhat flustered. Although he knew Lingfeng was using the Fire Phoenix to disrupt his focus, he still couldn't calm himself down.
At that moment, someone on the ground suddenly shouted, "Seal off the Fire Phoenix!"
Lingfeng was startled and looked down, realizing that the one who came up with this idea was Invisible Ghost.
Whether it was Fire Phoenix or Blazing Bomb, although these Spells relied on Spiritual Energy, the combustion of flames also required oxygen as fuel. By sealing Fire Phoenix or Blazing Bomb, the oxygen would quickly deplete, and eventually, the flames would extinguish, causing the Spell to fail.
Hezi heard this plan and suddenly had a brilliant idea. He then swung his sword toward Fire Phoenix with all his might, and a layer of purple Membrane immediately surrounded Fire Phoenix. After flapping its wings a few times, it turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
"Hahaha, let's see what you can do now!" Hezi laughed triumphantly, grunted softly, and vanished from the spot.
The Chinese people on the ground whispered among themselves, looking up into the sky, but there was no sign of Hezi anywhere.
Lingfeng shot a furious glance at Invisible Ghost, retracted the Five Element Formation, and remained alert to his surroundings.
However, Hezi seemed to have vanished without a trace, with no signs of movement.
Gold Wheel looked at the ground and found nothing unusual. He glanced toward the Main Hall and focused again, only to see a purple light flying toward the Main Hall, clearly indicating Hezi's presence.
"Oh no, Hezi is heading for the Main Hall!" Gold Wheel shouted while pointing at the Main Hall.
The disciples below were thrown into chaos as if their city had been breached.
"Everyone, take this opportunity to capture Demon Suppression Sect in one fell swoop!" Invisible Ghost raised his hands and shouted to the Loyal Minions behind him.
The Loyal Minions' morale surged instantly as they raised their weapons and shouted into the air.
Mu Qiu had long been agitated. With this shout from them, it ignited Mu Qiu's anger. He then recited the Wood Control Incantation, and suddenly, the trees along the road uprooted themselves as if they were gigantic warriors wielding branches, charging toward those from the Alliance.
"Let you shout, let you shout, if I don't show you some colors, you won't know how powerful I am!"
The trees, some decades old and others over a hundred years, were thick and leafy, instantly causing chaos within the Alliance, resulting in numerous casualties.
The Invisible Ghost realized the situation was dire and quickly cast an invisibility spell to hide himself.
Lingfeng observed from the air and was startled to see the Invisible Ghost suddenly vanish into thin air. He carefully looked down at the ground but couldn't find any trace of him.
After thinking for a moment, Lingfeng noticed that no one else was paying attention to him, so he quietly landed on the ground. Then, amidst the chaotic crowd, he used the Earth Escape Technique to sink underground.
Although the Invisible Ghost was skilled in invisibility, he could only conceal his surface; his feet were completely exposed and could not be hidden. Therefore, Lingfeng planned to find a flaw below.
Of course, this alone would not reveal the Invisible Ghost. Lingfeng needed another spell: the Earth Control Technique.
Lingfeng poked his head above ground and gently blew a breath toward the earth. As dust flew up, the ground began to tremble, and soon it felt as if the entire earth was being turned like a carpet, rising and falling in waves.
Both sides' disciples swayed left and right, struggling to maintain their balance; some simply fell to the ground.
Lingfeng found it amusing while still keeping an eye on the surface. After searching for a while, he finally discovered countless pairs of feet appearing and disappearing on the ground.
