Burst through!
Now, the only chance of survival is to break through, everyone for themselves.
“Yin Seventeen, Yin Twenty-six.” Mr. Yin’s voice was cold and chilly, “We break out separately, regroup at the rendezvous point.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them began to sprint in different directions.
Meanwhile.
Huangfu Jinyuan whispered to the clansman beside him, “Charge with me. In a crucial moment, don’t worry about me, just run if you can. Remember, cooperating with the Yinsha Sect is a personal action, nothing to do with our family.”
After the word ‘family’, a fiery energy exploded from Huangfu Jinyuan’s seemingly frail body.
In an instant, he was engulfed in flames.
With intense fires enveloping him, he took each step as if the whole Golden Sand Beach was trembling beneath him. At that moment, he seemed like a Flame Sovereign walking among men, radiating an aura of terrifying power.
He had already exposed himself, and now was the time to create a path of escape for the younger generation!
The resolution and reaction speed of the five people were startlingly fast.
However, everything that had happened that day was part of a deadly trap Wang Shouzhe had been planning for a long time. Would he allow them to escape so easily?
Take Yin Twenty-six for instance. On the surface, he appeared to be in the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm. But, one would realize this man was not ordinary once he started moving.
His speed was incredibly fast, not inferior to those in the mid-stage of the Spirit Platform Realm. He sprinted violently, appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving a trail of smoke behind him. A pair of sharp ghost claws were attached to his hands.
He dared not jump into the sky. A Spirit Platform Realm cultivator couldn’t fly very far, and it was difficult for them to change directions in mid-air. Thus, they would be an easy target for archers in the official army.
At that moment, a squad of soldiers was blocking his front. Eight sword and shield carriers formed a defensive semi-circle, their enormous shields embedded in the ground. Behind them, spearmen stood ready with their long spears.
The archers were ready to fire at any moment, showing no fear despite their opponent being in the Spirit Platform Realm.
Yin Twenty-six rushed into the encirclement at an incredibly fast speed. With a crunch, his ghost claw sent a sword and shield carrier, along with his shield, flying.
However, he struggled too. His forward momentum came to a halt, and the four or five spearmen promptly seized the opportunity to thrust their long spears at him.
Yin Twenty-six waved his claws in defense while retreating.
Before he could stabilize himself, the remaining sword and shield carriers lunged at him with their shields, blocking his way out.
At the same moment.
“Ting, ting, ting!”
The continual sound of bowstrings echoed in the air. A volley of arrows rained down on Yin Twenty-six like a storm.
He danced with his pair of ghost claws as if creating an impenetrable wind, it seemed as if his entire body was engulfed within.
“Clang, clang, clang!”
In a series of metallic collisions, every arrow was blocked. Not a single one managed to harm him.
Such was the strength of a Spirit Platform Cultivator.
However, after being suppressed by a series of attacks, Yin Twenty-six’s breakout still declared failure. He could only retreat and be trapped again in the encirclement.
This was the horror of military formation. Given a single opponent among these twenty-odd soldiers, Yin Twenty-six could easily kill any of them.
…
However, a squad of well-trained and well-equipped patrol soldiers could force him to retreat!
Of course, that did not mean that this squad of soldiers was stronger than Yin Twenty-six.
If this squad were to face Yin Twenty-six alone in the wilderness, it was highly likely that they would be completely wiped out.
Certainly, it would be difficult to say what price Yin Twenty-six would have to pay at that time.
But right now, they were on a direct battlefield.
Moreover, the main force of the army was already in an advantageous encircling position, wiping out Yin Twenty-six’s advantage of speed and unpredictability.
As long as he could not break through, and the soldiers continued to wear him down, ultimately Yin Twenty-six would die.
The battle involving Yin Twenty-six was just one corner of the overall battlefield.
While he was trying to break through the formation, drastic changes were also taking place elsewhere.
Huangfu Jinyuan truly lived up to his reputation as a powerful cultivator at the advanced stage of the Spirit Platform realm. Almost incarnating into a Flame Eminent, his punches and kicks tore through the defenses, scattering an entire patrol unit with the onslaught of his fire.
Meanwhile, a clan member by his side suddenly gave a sharp whistle, the clear sound echoing up into the sky.
Suddenly.
A crisp bird cry echoed, and a massive shadow, spanning several feet wide, swooped down from the dark, gloomy sky.
It was incredibly fast, seemingly reaching the ground in just the blink of an eye.
It was then that everyone managed to get a clear view.
It turned out to be a gigantic bird with wings spanning several feet when fully spread. Resembling neither a hawk nor an eagle, its body was a striking shade of blood red. Its tail was a stunning flame tail, akin to burning red-blooded flames.
“Red Blood Pigeon.”
It was a vulturous bird renowned for its exceptional flight prowess. Judging from its large size and its conspicuous spiritual nature, it was undoubtedly a Level Three Spirit Beast that had been nurtured for a long time.
“Huangfu Jinyuan, are you trying to escape?”
The Old Ancestor of the Xu Family of Changning, Bei Chen, was a man of his own. He stepped into the void and reached the storage ring in his hand. Suddenly, a black obelisk-like monument appeared in the palm of his hand.
The monument was black as ink, carved with numerous silver runes that were mysterious and profound.
Upon the appearance of the black monument, an overwhelming and unstoppable divine majesty rolled off of it.
Bei Chen manipulated a series of hand signs, and the mysterious runes emitted dazzling lights,
“Om!”
With the black monument shuddering violently, a sound like the tolling of bells and drumming of gongs echoed in the air. Immediately after, a colossal silver energy shadow emerged from the black monument, pressing down on the two individuals with exceptional might.
“Town Dragon Monument!”
Huangfu Jinyuan’s face changed, and he urgently yelled, “Kangping, you leave first. Don’t worry about me.”
This “Town Dragon Monument” was undoubtedly not the Clan Suppression Treasure worshipped in the ancestral hall of the Xu Family of Changning.
It was merely a replica. Even as a replica, it was a spiritual artifact created with great effort by the ancestors of the Xu family, and its quality had reached the level of a middle-grade spiritual artifact.
Its power was still extraordinary.
Once suppressed by its energy shadow, it would be like carrying a heavy mountain, making it incredibly hard to move.
True to their reputation as an established eighth-grade Prominent Family, their resources were far richer compared to the average eighth-grade Prominent Family.
However, Huangfu Jinyuan was not to be underestimated either. He was the founder of the former Ma Huangfu’s Family. Although he had aged and his cultivation base of mysterious energy showed signs of stagnation and even regression, he was still a powerful cultivator at the advanced stage of the Spirit Platform Realm.
Huangfu Jinyuan wasn’t without resources himself. The former Ma Huangfu’s Family was also an eighth-grade Prominent Family, and even if it couldn’t match up to the Xu Family of Changning, it still had the resources typical of an eighth-grade Prominent Family.
With a wave of his hand, a ruler appeared in his hand.
The ruler was smooth and yellow, as if made of jade, elaborately carved with numerous runes. Moreover, a dragon and a tiger were carved on both sides of the ruler, emitting a faint golden glow.
As Huangfu Jinyuan poured his mysterious energy into it, the ruler vibrated with a hum and conjured a reddish-golden ruler about a foot long. In the illusionary image of the ruler, the shadows of a dragon and a tiger seemed to be roaring.
“Dragon and Tiger Demon Subduing Ruler!”
This was a Divine Spiritual Treasure that was well-known in the whole Great Qian Land; its power could shake the earth and crumble rivers.
Without a doubt, though, it was a replica spiritual artifact as well.
However, even as a replica, it still possessed significant power. Especially in the hands of a powerful advanced stage Spirit Platform Realm cultivator like Huangfu Jinyuan, it was extremely powerful and fierce!
The ruler’s illusion clashed with the energy shadow of the Town Dragon Monument, causing shockwaves that turned the stones on the Jinsha Beach into dust and scattering it all over the place. The patrol soldiers couldn’t even try to approach them.
But nobody noticed.
Under the hazy night sky, a gigantic turtle floated slowly downstream from the upper reaches of Jinsha River.
A woman with a sword hanging from her waist stood gracefully on the turtle’s back.
Her pale blue ice silkworm silk dress fluttered gently in the night breeze, giving her an otherworldly aura.
Most notably, a light blue bead whirled slowly and spiritedly around her, sometimes nuzzling against her. Their interaction was exceptionally “intimate”.
…
