Under the night sky, the Great Qian Palace was filled with killing cries and thick Yin qi that surged into the skies, almost covering the entire starry skies!
"Xuan Yi, let's go! We can't hold on any longer!"
The person who spoke was a beautiful woman who was drenched in sweat. Runes shone in her hands and countless talismans flew out like butterflies, as though they were endless.
The beautiful woman was the master of Misty Peak's Talisman Peak, Perfected Jin Dan, Liu Hui!
Beside Liu Hui, there were two other Perfected Jin Dan cultivators who were releasing their spirit arts and wielding their flying swords, fighting against the surrounding otherworldly soldiers.
Both of them had a few wounds that were neither deep nor shallow and their faces were pale – they looked like they could not hold on any longer.
One of them was the master of Array Peak, Xuan Yi.
The other person was dressed in white robes that were soaked in blood and wielded a three feet long green sword. His sword qi was cold and sharp – he was a sword cultivator.
The three of them split into three directions and each took up a corner in a tripartite formation. Their feet moved continuously as they looked after one another.
However, there were simply too many otherworldly soldiers that charged over from all directions. It was almost endless, wave after wave, surging towards the three of them like a tsunami.
The tripartite formation was on the verge of collapse!
Xuan Yi grit his teeth with an indignant expression. However, he could only say darkly, "Retreat!"
"It won't be that easy for you to retreat now,"
The white-robed sword cultivator whispered with a terrible expression.
The commotion caused by the three of them was huge and otherworldly soldiers rushed over from other parts of the palace.
The otherworldly soldiers that came later were extremely strong!
Initially, the patrolling otherworldly soldiers could only release the strength of an early-stage Jin Dan or mid-stage Jin Dan. But now, late-stage Jin Dan otherworldly soldiers were joining in as well.
The situation was getting increasingly dangerous!
The three of them retreated continuously. However, they were trapped in the endless otherworldly soldiers and felt as though they were in a swamp, moving with difficulty and slowing down.
The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous the situation was!
All three of them were injured and their wounds were exposed to the malevolent qi. Even if they consumed elixirs continuously, they could not heal and were bleeding continuously.
Furthermore, as time passed by, the malevolent qi would enter their bodies through their wounds and cause more damage to their meridians, dantians and bloodlines. The effects would only get worse!
In the end, even if the three of them were not killed by the otherworldly army, their meridians and cores would be frozen by the malevolent Yin qi and they would die.
Moreover, among the three of them, Liu Hui's condition was already the worst!
Liu Hui's lips were purple and her footsteps were weak. Her spiritual energy had been exhausted to the limit. Jin Dan's surroundings were shrouded in Yin Qi, making it difficult for him to circulate his spiritual energy. He could collapse at any time.
Although the Three Talent Formation was exquisite, as long as one person had a problem, the entire formation would cease to exist.
At that time, the impact on the three would be even greater!
"Pu!"
Blood flashed.
Liu Hui let out a muffled groan as a hideous wound appeared on her abdomen. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Xuan Yi's expression changed drastically as he stepped forward to support Liu Hui who was about to fall. Waving his sleeves, he released a tremendous amount of spirit energy that pushed back the incoming otherworldly soldiers.
"Ziyue, break through with all your might. I'll bring up the rear!"
Xuan Yi looked at the wounds on Liu Hui's body and frowned. There was a trace of madness between his brows.
Xuan Yi slapped his storage bag and took out a few elixirs, which he swallowed in one go.
At the same time, Xuan Yi summoned 12 supreme-grade flying swords!
Clang! Clang!
The swords vibrated and buzzed endlessly.
"Hexagonal Sword Formation!"
Xuan Yi's Jin Dan was channeled to its limits and was already aching. He controlled the 12 flying swords and conjured two Hexagonal Sword Formations, blocking the incoming otherworldly soldiers.
Two hexagonal stars appeared in the void and shone brightly in a bedazzling manner!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
More than ten otherworldly soldiers charged over and collided against the Hexagonal Sword Formation, turning into ashes and dissipating into the air.
As a Sword Formation Master, Xuan Yi did not cultivate a Jin Dan phenomenon.
However, with his Hexagonal Sword Formation, he could fight against some of the Jin Dan phenomenons!
Right at the front, the white-robed sword cultivator took a deep breath and consumed a few Spirit Recovery Elixirs. He howled and shook the sword in his hands, hollering softly, "Jin Dan phenomenon, Ethereal Sword Rain!"
Drip! Drip!
Drip! Drip! Drip! Drip!
Drip! Behind the white-robed sword cultivator, a curtain of rain appeared. The raindrops grew denser and sharper, emitting an endless sharpness like swords and sabers.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Many otherworldly soldiers at the front were pierced by the raindrops and fell to the ground, dissipating into malevolent qi and dissipating into nothingness.
At least a few hundred otherworldly soldiers disappeared with the release of a Jin Dan phenomenon!
A large empty area appeared up ahead.
"Let's go!"
The white-robed cultivator hollered and charged forward with his sword in hand.
Xuan Yi hugged Liu Hui and followed closely behind.
Not long after, the sound of galloping horses could be heard. It was as loud as thunder, and the ground began to tremble. It was as if a magnificent army was galloping towards them!
"Watch out!"
The white-robed cultivator's expression changed.
As though they had received some sort of order, the dense group of otherworldly soldiers at the front spread out without panicking.
A large group of light cavalry wielded spears and rode on otherworldly horses. Murderous, they formed a cone-shaped formation and charged over, colliding heavily against the white-robed sword cultivator's Jin Dan phenomenon.
Boom!
There was a deafening sound.
A few light cavalry soldiers at the front fell off their horses.
As for the Ethereal Sword Rain phenomenon, it was on the verge of collapse as well!
Another charge would be enough to destroy the white-robed sword cultivator's Jin Dan phenomenon!
"Xuan Yi, Ziyue, leave. Don't bother about me."
Liu Hui's expression was haggard. The malevolent qi had sealed her meridians and blood completely and her body was turning colder. She no longer had much strength left to fight.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Xuan Yi had cultivated for more than 300 years and had a gentle temperament, rarely showing any emotional fluctuations.
But now, he was agitated and hollered with reddened eyes.
"Sigh, I'll only be a burden to you guys if you bring me along. None of us will be able to survive."
Lying in Xuan Yi's embrace, a gentle look flashed through Liu Hui's eyes as she whispered, "Xuan Yi, I know what you're thinking. However, I'm afraid we won't have that fate in this lifetime. "
When he heard that, Xuan Yi calmed down instead.
"Liu Hui, since you know what I'm thinking, you should know that I'll definitely not leave you!"
Xuan Yi's gaze was resolute as he gripped Liu Hui's cold hands, refusing to let go as he smiled. "I've been a coward my entire life when it comes to relationships. Today, I'm finally brave for once."
Turning around, Xuan Yi nodded to the white-robed sword cultivator and said calmly, "Ziyue, leave. I'll accompany her."
Accompanying her meant that he would die together with her!
"Fellow Daoists, you guys …"
The white-robed cultivator had an anxious expression and hesitated to speak.
Xuan Yi smiled gently. "There's no end to the path of cultivation. When will there be an end? If we truly seek longevity and end up dying alone, what's the point? "
"That's good. Liu Hui and I can accompany Old Brother Wen Xuan so that he won't be lonely, haha!"
Xuan Yi roared in laughter once more and hugged the woman in his embrace tightly.
At that moment, it was as though the two of them were the only ones left in the world.
Not everyone could be so magnanimous in the face of death.
Boom!
Right then, there was yet another deafening sound.
The white-robed sword cultivator's Jin Dan phenomenon was shattered by the otherworldly soldiers!
Without any protection, the three of them were completely exposed to the dense horde of otherworldly soldiers!
