Fang Yuan and the other three suddenly burst forth, charging towards the man with the force of thunder.
A strong gust of wind suddenly rose, and surging spiritual power instantly erupted, shattering all the tables and chairs. Zhang Bo and a few others were sent flying by the terrifying aftermath, crashing outside the main hall.
"I knew something was off about you!"
The man's eyes turned cold, and his body flew backward. A cloud of purple mist spewed from his palm, instantly transforming into a giant purple scorpion that lunged at the four of them.
"Be careful, this mist is poisonous!"
Fang Yuan warned, channeling spiritual power into his long blade.
Sun Yiyi quickly took out two iron hammers from her storage ring, with the power of water and fire swirling around them.
Two brilliant beams of light simultaneously struck down.
Boom—
The entire main hall let out a deafening explosion and collapsed with a crash.
Whoosh, whoosh—
At the same time, figures appeared in mid-air, rushing towards the main hall at extreme speed.
Bang—
A burst of fire shot into the sky, and then over a hundred disciples charged over from another direction, led by Li Xiaoman and the male disciple.
"Wan Gu Sect has deceived us disciples, planting the Heart-Devouring Mother-Child Gu in all sect disciples, harming fellow disciples, and feeding Gu worms with fresh hearts. This is truly insane! Those who wish to live, follow me to overturn the Wan Gu Sect's conspiracy!"
The male disciple yelled at the top of his lungs, leading over a hundred people directly towards the main hall.
"Spreading heresy and daring to slander the Wan Gu Sect! All disciples, listen to my command: kill these traitors and protect the sect!"
A Nascent Soul Stage Elder descended rapidly from high in the sky, striking a palm towards the male disciple and Li Xiaoman in front.
Whoosh—
A large blade tore through the air, moving so fast that it arrived in an instant.
The Elder shifted his position in mid-air, barely dodging the fatal blow.
At the same time, tens of thousands of disciples, armed with various weapons, surrounded them from all directions, shouting slogans to kill the traitors and protect the Wan Gu Sect.
Bang—
An explosion sounded, and then four figures burst out from the ruins of the main hall. The terrifying aftershock rolled back, transforming into blades of wind that rapidly spread in all directions.
"Sect Master, I'll help you!"
Five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators charged out from various directions, immediately joining the battle.
"What are you standing around for?! Come chop people with me!"
Zhang Ziqiang, holding his horse-slaying saber, roared at Zhang Bo and the others, then charged first into the dense crowd.
"Hurry and follow!"
Zhang Bo quickly got up from the ground and led over a hundred disciples closely behind Zhang Ziqiang.
The horse-slaying saber emitted a brilliant golden light. With one slash, the saber qi exploded directly in the center of the crowd.
Over a dozen disciples in front died from the saber qi, but it couldn't stop the surging crowd behind them.
Among them, over fifty Golden Core Stage cultivators simultaneously flew up, charging in unison towards Zhang Ziqiang.
"Good!"
Zhang Ziqiang roared, stomping his feet, causing the ground to crack into several fissures. Dazzling golden light erupted from his body, covering his skin.
Clang, clang, clang—
Over a dozen blades and swords simultaneously struck his body, making metallic clanging sounds.
"I have an indestructible body, what will you fight me with?! You little brats, take this!"
The horse-slaying saber spun a few times above Zhang Ziqiang's head, then dozens of saber qi simultaneously struck the over fifty Golden Core Stage cultivators in mid-air.
Zhang Bo and over a dozen Golden Core Stage disciples simultaneously flew up, activating their Dharma Idols without a word.
The over fifty Golden Core Stage cultivators on the opposite side also erupted with their cultivation at the first moment, revealing their Dharma Idols.
In an instant, the originally dark night sky was covered by light, illuminating the entire world.
Snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and other golden bodies stood in the void, and battle was about to erupt.
Zhang Ziqiang completely ignored this group of Golden Core Stage disciples, leading the remaining hundred-plus people into the dense crowd.
Pfft, pfft—
Without the obstruction of Golden Core Stage disciples, Zhang Ziqiang was like a god of war, wielding his horse-slaying saber, cutting his way through the crowd.
In just a short while, a large number of corpses fell, blood splattering everywhere, forming a river of blood that flowed down the steps to the center of the square.
In another battlefield, Fang Yuan and the other two were fighting six Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and the battle had entered a fierce stage.
The three were no longer inexperienced rookies; every move and strike contained hidden killing intent.
Fang Yuan pulled out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from his ear, laughing wildly: "Little ones, it's your turn to shine!"
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner rustled in the void, and black mist billowed from within the banner. Piercing ghostly wails echoed throughout the sky.
Dense, countless phantoms surged out from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, covering the sky and earth. Among them, several Nascent Soul Stage phantoms bared their fangs and claws, pouncing towards the five Elders.
The myriad ghosts transformed into a black cloud, wantonly slaughtering the crowd below.
Screams were incessant, and the Wan Gu Sect had become a sea of vengeful spirits.
Sun Yiyi raised her hammers high, erupting with surging spiritual power. A water dragon coiled around the left hammer, and a fire dragon roared on the right.
The two hammers slammed down fiercely. Water and fire intertwined, exploding in front of the Wan Gu Sect Master.
The terrifying aftershock sent the Wan Gu Sect Master flying.
Before he could stabilize himself, a phantom appeared abruptly behind him, and sharp claws directly pierced through his body.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, all the robes on the Wan Gu Sect Master's body fell off, and his body transformed into countless flying insects. In the middle of them was a three-foot-long red centipede with six wings on its back.
As soon as this creature appeared, all the insects within a hundred miles seemed to hear a summons, rushing towards the Wan Gu Sect at an extremely fast speed.
Looking out, it was a vast, dark swarm.
"This should be the Mother Gu. I didn't expect this person to refine himself into an insect. That's quite extreme."
Fang Yuan showed a look of surprise, then sealed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in the void, clapped his hands, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face.
"Open for me!"
Boom—
Behind him, a gigantic phantom suddenly appeared, with a green face, fangs, six wings on its back, and clad in black armor.
This time, the phantom seemed much more solid than before, and the patterns on its armor were much clearer.
Fang Yuan could feel his life rapidly draining, so he no longer hesitated, transforming his hands into blades.
The phantom behind him drew out a large black blade and slowly raised it.
At the same time, Qin Hao manifested a phantom of a five-clawed purple-gold divine dragon, continuously surging in the void.
Sun Yiyi also revealed her Dharma Idol, with two heads and four arms, and a pair of wings composed of water and fire extending from her back.
"Kill!"
The three shouted in unison, and their attacks simultaneously descended.
Boom—
The sky roared, the surrounding space trembled violently, and the power of laws poured down.
Bang—
Flames filled the sky, and a barrier appeared in front of the flying centipede.
In just a moment, it was directly destroyed by the three terrifying forces. Even its body was instantly melted by this power, dissipating into the world.
"The Sect Master is dead!!" Someone shouted with a trembling voice.
Whoosh, whoosh—
The five Nascent Soul Stage Elders immediately broke free from the phantoms' restraints, wanting to escape this terrifying place.
The power unleashed by these three was simply not that of the Golden Core Stage!
Profound spiritual power, top-grade cultivation techniques at their fingertips, and what was even more deadly was that these three struck ruthlessly, their killing intent already solidified.
On their bodies, one could vaguely see scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How many people must they have killed to create such a sight?
Too terrifying!
The five were utterly horrified at this moment, a chill rushing straight to their brains. They had no intention of resisting whatsoever.
Only one thought remained in their minds.
Escape!
The farther, the better!
