Yu Gu Xie and the other five came from the Demonic Path. If they were not at the end of the road, they would not choose to fight head-on.
At this moment, the six of them had the upper hand, at least on the surface. They themselves thought so, so when they saw Zhang Yan's sword light fly out, their first thought was not how to counterattack, but to retreat in all directions.
It was just that the sword light was too fast. Just a moment ago, each of them had a cut on their bodies, and their bodies were all broken. However, in the next moment, the six of them flashed like shadows and merged back together.
Zhang Yan pulled the sword beam apart and spun it back and forth, driving the six of them further away. He laughed and said, "So that's how it is. All of you are just a bunch of people hiding in the back, not daring to fight me openly."
Yu Gu Xie had come out to meet him so boldly Just Now, so Zhang Yan suspected that this person had not come with his true body. As he expected, not only this person, but the six people in front of him had all come with the Blood Soul Avatars.
As expected, it was difficult to tell the real from the fake. Just like living people, it was difficult to see through them with the naked eye.
However, the further the Blood Soul was from the true body, the less magic it could use. If he guessed correctly, this person's true body should be hiding in the cave, watching from afar and controlling the Blood Soul to fight outside.
This was also the habit of demonic path cultivators. If they couldn't figure out the details of their opponent, then they would prioritize saving their own lives and injuring the enemy came second. But once they saw through their opponent, they would no longer be polite. They would only stop after killing their opponent.
His guess was not far from the truth. Not only was Yu Gu Xie's guess correct. Even Guo Nanxing was a cautious person who cherished his life. Even if he had the upper hand, he wouldn't easily reveal his true self. Besides, this was how Blood Soul Sect's cultivation method worked. They didn't think that it was a loss of face. Only by surviving would they have the right to mock their opponents. That was why they all hid in the cave. If the battle went badly for them, they would be able to escape. He would immediately think of a way to escape.
Zhang Yan's sword light circled around them, forcing them back. Then, he took out a Dharma Art. There was a loud bang, like the beating of a drum. The Black Yellow Hand rushed out from the top of the door. It spread its five fingers, and in an instant, it grew to a size of six hundred feet. His palm pressed down, covering the top of the mountain and grabbing at the six of them.
Yu Gu Xie and Guo Nanxing's cultivation were more profound. When they saw the mighty and heavy hand pressing down and the haze above them, their expressions changed slightly. Without any hesitation, the disciple behind Guo Nanxing was too slow and couldn't dodge in time. He was grabbed by the large hand and crushed into pieces. He turned into streaks of bloody light and flew away.
The disciple sitting in the cave instantly turned pale and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He formed a few seals and gathered the shattered blood light back together. However, when the blood light reappeared, it was already too late. However, when it appeared again, it was no longer similar to his true body. Instead, it was a blurry figure that seemed to be heavily injured.
Zhang Yan's eyes turned and he saw the weakness of this Blood Soul Sect. Although this vicious thing could be killed by Dharma treasures and flying swords for a moment, if it was attacked, it would not be completely unharmed.
Yu Gu Xie and Guo Nanxing had solemn expressions. They were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he circled around with his disciples. A few blood-colored shadows circled around Zhang Yan, looking for flaws and gaps. From time to time, they would let out shrill cries that sounded like crying and sobbing, as if they could stir one's heart.
Zhang Yan's mind was firm and unwavering. The Stars Sword Pellet seemed to have transformed into a blue rainbow, dragging a line of resplendent splendor as it flew around him. It was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, its speed was unpredictable. It hovered in mid-air above the Heaven and Earth Palm, secretly intimidating, as if it could fall at any time.
Including the time he defeated Li Weide twenty years ago, this was the second time he fought openly with Devil Sect cultivators.
He thought that when the Devil Calamity came in the future, he would definitely fight with more and more Devil Sect disciples. Although he had to take down these people now, he also had to see their techniques so that he could have an idea in the future.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to counterattack. He only defended seventy percent and attacked thirty percent. If the other party got close, he would force the sword light back. If it went far, he would not chase and only defend the hundred feet under his feet.
Yu Gu Xie probed a few times, but he was unable to enter the battle circle. Seeing that Zhang Yan was calm and composed, without any signs of anxiety or impatience, he knew that he was from an orthodox Xuanmen. The aura of his technique was extremely long, and the other party's defense was strict. It seemed that if they continued fighting like this, there would be no victory or defeat even after a day and night. Suspicion rose in his heart, and he thought to himself, 'This Zhang Yan is so calm. Could it be that he is restraining us here and waiting for his fellow sect members to come and help?'
According to common sense, this thought of his did make some sense. Moreover, he was different from Guo Nanxing. The disciples of the cave abode were all here. If they were killed, the hundred years of hard work would go down the drain. At that moment, he became even more suspicious.
After thinking about it, he felt that since Qincang School already knew of his actions and even sent the top ten disciples to chase after him, he could not go to the Little Devil's Cave anymore. He needed to take down this person as soon as possible, and then leave this place with everyone was the best plan.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of turning around and leaving, but he'd clearly seen Zhang Yan's sword sphere. If he kept running away, losing face was a small matter, and his disciples would probably be wiped out by Zhang Yan. That was something he absolutely didn't want to happen.
Therefore, the only thing he could do was to fight. Even if he could not kill this person, he had to fight until he had no strength to chase after him.
He pondered in his heart and felt that Zhang Yan had the protection of this mysterious hand on the outside, and the sword pellet on the inside. Both of them could attack and defend at the same time. If he was alone, it would be difficult to take down this person in a short period of time. Thinking about this, he gave Guo Nanxing a look. Seeing that the latter understood his meaning, he nodded in response.
Thus, Yu Gu Xie let out a shout and shook his body. Seven blood spirits appeared, and like a general commanding an army, they stood on the left and right.
However, the faces of these blood spirits were blurred, and their bodies were like shadows. They looked like a bloody light.
Ever since he had obtained the Little Devil's Cave, he had cultivated twelve blood spirits in the past twenty years. Although they were not as condensed as the main soul, their ability to injure the enemy was not that bad. Now, in order to defeat Zhang Yan, he had taken out most of his family's resources.
When his disciples saw this, they knew that their master was going to fight with his life on the line, and they all shouted and released the blood spirits.
Guo Nanxing laughed wildly. He did not want to be at a disadvantage. His body shook, and a red light spread out, and he released six blood spirits.
The disciples behind him also followed suit. In a moment, there were more than twenty blood spirits flying around in the sky, and they let out shrill cries. The momentum was extremely frightening.
Yu Gu Xie did not dare to underestimate Zhang Yan. He was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him, so he made a strange hand gesture and chanted a technique.
In the blink of an eye, a treasure flew out from the cave. It was shaped like a shuttle, and it had a round head. However, if one looked closely, they would see that it was a pool of bloody liquid. It was thick and congealed, and it gave off a fishy smell. It attacked Zhang Yan.
When it got close, Just Now, it could be clearly seen that there were countless small blood worms entangled together. They were dense and constantly wriggling. It was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
"Blood Thread Gold Worm?"
Guo Nanxing's expression changed slightly. He did not think that his junior brother would have cultivated such a treasure. While he was secretly glad, he was also afraid.
When he came here, he did not have any good intentions. He wanted to devour Yu Gu Xie's disciples, but because he saw that Yu Gu Xie's cultivation had improved greatly, he gave up on the idea. Fortunately, he did not attack him, or else he would not be able to defend against this thing.
These blood worms were formed after cultivating the Blood Yuan Technique. They could devour flesh and blood, wear down spiritual light, and even contaminate treasures. With Yu Gu Xie's cultivation, it was already extraordinary to be able to cultivate more than three hundred of them.
However, there was once an expert in the Blood Soul Sect who thought of a trick. He used a type of golden worm found in the Southern Cliffs Continent as a substitute, and fed it with the blood worms that had yet to mature. In the end, he chose a worm head, and after refining it with his heart's blood, it could lead an entire nest of strange worms to attack the enemy.
Although the Golden Worms only had a small portion of the original Blood Worms' abilities after being refined, and they could not disperse and gather as they wished, they were still superior in numbers and their power was not small. Ordinary cultivators would not be able to withstand a single blow from them. In an instant, they would be sucked dry of their blood essence and bitten into a pile of rotten bones.
However, Guo Nanxing was also worried. In order to cultivate this kind of golden worm to this level, he needed a lot of blood worms. Previously, he did not know how many demons had to be refined to achieve this level.
Thus, he was even more certain that his junior brother must have occupied some devil's cave to be able to be so extravagant. However, with a great enemy in front of him, he did not have time to ask. He secretly thought about how to get this secret out of Zhang Yan after killing him.
Zhang Yan saw the blood-thread golden worm flying towards him. Before it even reached him, a fishy smell filled the air, assaulting his nostrils. He did not dare to act rashly. He made a hand sign and flipped the black and yellow hand so that the back of the hand was facing outwards, blocking the attack.
In the blink of an eye, the two collided with each other. With a bang, the viscous liquid exploded and turned into countless tiny golden-headed flying insects. They buzzed and flew all over the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the big hand shrank a lot, and the blood worms all swelled up. Their originally shriveled bodies became extremely transparent, and the blood membrane on their wings could be seen clearly. It seemed that they had sucked all their essence.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan shouted and used the Dan Sha Qi. The big hand shook and expanded, immediately shaking the blood worms away. However, none of them were injured. Like mosquitoes smelling blood, they flew around in the air, and after a while, they all rushed towards the big hand. No matter how hard he tried, he could not drive them away.
Seeing that Zhang Yan was entangled by the blood worms, Guo Nanxing did not mind taking advantage of the situation. He laughed and opened his eyes. The real body sitting in the cave opened his eyes and took out a red gourd with golden patterns. He lowered his head and bit off the stopper. With a point of his finger, he flew out of the cave and arrived at the top of the mountain.

His Blood Soul sensed something and immediately received it. He poured it down, and black smoke was thrown out. At first, there were only a few wisps, and then more and more black smoke came out. It seemed that there was no end to it. Everywhere it passed, the grass and trees withered, and the flowers and trees withered. It was as if a thick wall had been built, surrounding Zhang Yan.
The disciples behind him also saw the opportunity. The real bodies in the cave took out their magic weapons and attacked.
Qian Yi, the eldest disciple of Yu Gu Xie, was even more daring. He urged the two Blood Souls behind him to hide behind the thick smoke and stared in front of him. He was thinking that if Zhang Yan revealed even the slightest flaw, he would rush forward and devour his flesh and blood to nourish his body …
