Ye You concealed his identity skillfully, and although he did not unleash the uniquely personal Falling Piece to the East, it did not mean he was incapable of other spells. At that moment, he cast the Two Instruments Clear Technique, which was equally formidable. All attacks were rendered void, and even Xiao Ji found it difficult to withstand.
As Ye You blocked Xiao Ji, on the other side, Zhuang Zhixian seized the opportunity to strike with his blood claws towards Zhu Xian Mountain. Simultaneously, a loud shout echoed as dozens of Golden Core Stage Demon High Legs surged out from Dongshan Valley, charging towards the four.
Bu Luo and Ying Hong were here; with their Late Stage of Transformation cultivation, they had more than enough strength to handle those Golden Core demons. Just as they had dealt with two Demon Cultivators, a sudden palm strike knocked them to the ground. Ying Hong, caught off guard, failed to notice the hidden Demonized God among them. Struck by the blow, he was severely injured and barely managed to fend off his assailant, leaving him unable to assist his three companions.
What a grand scene! So many people attacking just one of him; it truly gave him face.
Beside him, Leng Gucun smirked. Upon hearing Ying Wuyi's words, he accidentally tore his sleeve while dodging an attack. He had seen narcissism before, but this was the first time he encountered someone so self-absorbed. It was clear that this person did not regard him highly; they were clearly out for his life.
The two stood back-to-back against their enemies. Leng Gucun coldly remarked, just loud enough for Ying Wuyi to hear, who retorted defiantly with two words.
Hypocritical. If tomorrow turns out badly for me, it would be as if I had been cursed for eight lifetimes for associating with him.
He thought about how those people were hindering him; if only he could cut them down now.
Give me some face; after this battle is over, let’s see how I deal with him.
Sword energy surged and magical artifacts flew through the air. The ground became even more chaotic than the battlefield above. He could only do his best to evade those attacks that came from nowhere. If not for his Golden Core Stage cultivation, he could have fought freely. However, after just having engaged with two opponents, he sensed the treachery of those Demon Cultivators. Among so many Golden Core Cultivators lurked several Nascent Soul Stage Demon Cultivators waiting for an opportunity to ambush. It was no wonder Ying Hong had been caught off guard upon arrival; it was truly difficult to defend against such surprise attacks.
"Cold Friend, Brother Ying, if you have any hidden treasures, hurry up and bring them out. If you don't, there may not be another chance. Among those people, there are several Nascent Soul Cultivators."
Gu's shout reached the ears of the two. Ying Wuyi and Leng Gucun exchanged a glance amidst the chaos and simultaneously took out a blood-red Blood Talisman. The moment they activated the Talisman, a surge of sword energy erupted, affecting even the battle in the sky.
After forcing back Zhu Xian Mountain with a single strike, Zhuang Zhixian coldly gazed at the battlefield in the east. Dozens of sword energies radiated outward from Ying Wuyi and Leng Gucun, causing destruction to the Broken Wall. Zhuang Zhixian himself had suffered a Sword Injury to his left arm but managed to sheath his sword in time to avoid further harm.
"Hahaha!"
The two exchanged another glance and burst into laughter, thinking that Mistake might have some clever tricks up their sleeve. Little did they know that they were just like themselves—both wielding Blood Sword Talismans. With such power, they could easily annihilate all Golden Core Cultivators with a single strike while taking advantage of the chaos to deal with the Demonized God who was entangled with Ying Hong.
In the aftermath, only four Nascent Soul Cultivators remained, barely holding onto their artifacts to avoid collapsing. Yan Dong was too exhausted to continue fighting.
In mid-air, Zhuang Zhixian focused intently on Gu through his bloodline connection. A sense of unease arose within him due to an inexplicable familiarity, yet he couldn't recall ever having met someone like Gu—someone capable of effortlessly fending off Golden Core Cultivators. Such strength shouldn't belong to an unknown individual.
Sensing Zhuang Zhixian's gaze, Gu Lian quickly hid behind Ying Wuyi, avoiding eye contact with Gu Zhi. If their eyes met, his identity would likely be exposed immediately.
"Thank you both for your assistance," Gu said politely. "When the three factions convene, I will surely present a grand gift."
As the three exchanged pleasantries, they believed the situation was under control. Unexpectedly, Ying Hong, who was entangled with the Demonized God nearby, suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"
Ying Wuyi and Dong Yishi instinctively sought to dodge but remembered Gu was right in front of them. If they fled, how could Gu defend himself in such a hurried moment? Instead, he decisively took out a Golden Bell Talisman and enveloped the three within it.
The crisp sound of shattering reached their ears as Ying Wuyi and Leng Gucun attempted to turn back to face their enemies. Suddenly, a red fox tail descended from above like a curtain of shadows, crashing down and pinning the ambusher into the ground with such force that they were nearly flattened into a pulp before instantly falling lifeless.
As the Demonized Shenkian Zhuang struggled with Ying Hong, they shouted towards the heavens.
"Ancestor, if you do not intervene soon, many disciples will surely perish at Honghong's hands. Please, Ancestor, lend us your aid."
"Useless."
Though no figure was visible, those who had witnessed the battle against Chongming Guang and seen Cloud Dragon Swallowing the Moon knew that anyone capable of transmitting messages from the Nine Heavens must be a Mahayana Practitioner. Even if this person was thousands of miles away, they could easily obtain a name. If the Mahayana Practitioner did not step in, it seemed that the three of them would soon meet again in the Ninth Underworld.
