A spot of black light flashed and stabbed a black scorpion king that had formed a demon infant to death.
In the next moment, this spot of black light suddenly spread between heaven and earth and turned into a rain of light. Each dark and gloomy raindrop killed a black scorpion.
In an instant, the black swarm of black scorpions was directly emptied. Even the fierce and fearless black scorpions lost their spirit and scattered to the side.
A young man of medium stature but with blood and qi surging all over his body like a furnace appeared in the void and appeared in front of everyone. He held a jet-black long spear in his hand and his killing intent soared to the sky.
The young man's appearance and temperament were not bloodthirsty and violent, but instead gave people a sense of calmness. When Yang Tie and Sun Xueer saw him, they both smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhao."
The person who came was Xuanmen Tianzong's second generation Snow Wind Valley Head, Zhao Huan.
When Zhao Huan saw Yang Tie and Sun Xueer, he also smiled and said, "We're a bit late than scheduled, sorry about that."
Behind him were Ke Jing and the other Snow Wind Valley True Disciples. Each of them used their magical powers to kill the black scorpions that approached them.
Most of the Snowgale Valley disciples were martial adepts, so they fought in close combat against the black armored scorpions. Other than Zhao Huan and a few others, most of the Snowgale Valley disciples only focused on one black armored scorpion at a time.
At first glance, the efficiency seemed low, but wherever they passed through, the black armored scorpions would really die upon contact. The entire team was like a giant mill, crushing everything in its path, sweeping away everything in its path.
Yang Tie shook his head and said, "It's okay, we'll wait for you here. Everyone can also go through some training."
He looked at the swarm of black scorpions in front of him and said, "These black scorpions are not extraordinary individually, but their numbers are huge and they cooperate well. When they gather together, the threat is quite considerable."
The black scorpions in front of them formed a vast sea of black scorpions that stretched as far as the eye could see.
At this moment, the Xuanmen Tianzong cultivators gathered here and the people from Qian Tian Palace and Snow Wind Valley Cave Abode added up to only a few dozen.
With such a huge advantage in numbers, even the Xuanmen Tianzong disciples had to be cautious.
Zhao Huan and the others did not blindly charge forward after their initial irresistible force. Instead, they met up with Yang Tie and the others.
The black scorpions regained their footing and quickly launched an even more ferocious attack.
Zhao Huan had also entered the Yuanying state and stood side by side with Yang Tie. One attacked and the other defended, taking on the greatest pressure from the black armored scorpions in front of them. However, he mainly focused on the black armored scorpion kings, leaving the other black armored scorpions to the Xuanmen Tianzong disciples in the Golden Elixir Period to deal with.
Everyone guarded this lonely mountain, seemingly isolated and defenseless, but the camp was firmly rooted and did not retreat even half a step. On the contrary, the Black Armored Scorpions suffered heavy losses.
Amidst the cries of the sea of insects, the red light grew thicker and thicker. More and more Black Armored Scorpion Kings appeared from afar, joining the ranks of the group that attacked Yang Tie, Zhao Huan, and the others.
Seeing this, Yang Tie was not surprised but smiled. "This time, almost all of them have come out."
As he spoke, the fierce offensive of the swarm suddenly retreated a little, and then a large number of demonic insects gathered together as if forming a huge pattern.
The red light on this pattern flowed, becoming more and more fierce.
Sun Xueer shouted to Yang Tie, "Tie!"
Yang Tie nodded. "I know." As he spoke, he took out a small square shield, which was his Yuanying Period magic tool, the Defensive Shield.
The Defensive Shield lit up and at the same time, extended on all sides, condensing into four flashing white corners, making the whole shield look like an upright square.
Then, another layer of light covered the shield and continued to extend outwards, turning into a larger upright square.
In this cycle, the light continued to expand, also making the shield bigger and bigger, covering the whole mountain behind it.
Meanwhile, Yang Tie pinched a spell with both hands, and the Central Earth Divine Light and Mixed Element True Water appeared at the same time. Then, he put his hands together and turned into the Central Sealed Realm of Mixed Element. The light was as heavy as the earth, and the light as vast as the ocean spread out, combining with the Defensive Shield to protect Xuanmen Tianzong and the others.
Sun Xueer and other disciples of the Qian Tian Palace who had a higher cultivation base also activated the magical power of the Defensive Shield at the same time. Halos of light fell on the Defensive Shield.
Almost at the same time, a bright red light shot out from the huge rune formed by the Black Armored Scorpions. It instantly tore through the void and bombarded the Defensive Magic Shield.
The demon power of the many demonic insects combined, and the huge force blasted the Defensive Shield that was supported by the Central Sealed Realm of Mixed Element, causing it to shake continuously.
Yang Tie's expression was calm, and his eyes were firm as he supported the celestial device and spell.
But Zhao Huan did not say much. White light shone on top of his head, and in the center of the white light was a shining crown. Above the crown, two shadows were projected, one of which was dignified and sacred, and the other was evil and domineering.
This was the legacy celestial device of the Snow Wind Valley's Yuanying Stage, the Ghost Deity Golden Crown, given to him by Yue Hongyan.
The black spear in Zhao Huan's hand was another Yuanying Stage celestial device, the Heaven's Wrath Spear, given to him by Yue Hongyan as the second generation True Disciple.
With the support of the Ghost Deity Golden Crown, Zhao Huan's power surged, and he was like a demon. The black Heaven's Wrath Spear in his hand shook, and he stepped on the void, moving from behind the Defensive Shield to in front of the swarm of insects.
The Nine Heavens Formless Astral Wind, which was as sharp as a blade, combined with the bone-chilling Xuanming True Water that froze the void. It turned into a snowstorm, and as Zhao Huan stabbed with his spear, it tore through the void, heading straight for the strange talisman formed by the swarm of insects.
Wherever the tip of the spear passed, the air was heated up by the friction, and one could even see the sparks of fire.
But almost at the same time, it was extinguished by the snowstorm. In this spear, there was only the bone-chilling coldness and the biting cold storm.
Compared to the gigantic talisman that covered the sky and covered the sun, Zhao Huan and the Heaven Wrath Spear. The tip of the Heaven Wrath Spear seemed incomparably small, but as Zhao Huan stabbed forward, the void distorted as though it was about to shatter the entire talisman.
The talisman formed by the swarm of insects immediately flashed with red light, forming a barrier in front of it to block Zhao Huan's spear.
When Sun Xueer, who was behind the Heaven Reversal Shield, saw this, she immediately stopped the Heaven Reversal Realm divine ability and took out a scroll. As the pages of the scroll flipped, a large amount of icy cold mist surged out. The icy blue water droplets were like spirits of ice. It was hard to count, and all of them were Xuanming True Water.
Under Sun Xueer's control, the Xuanming True Water fused into Zhao Huan's Wind Snow Divine Spear.
Zhao Huan did not stop it. He swept up Sun Xueer's Xuanming True Water, and he further activated the Nine Heavens Formless Astral Wind.
The acupoints all over his body vibrated, as if volcanoes were erupting. His powerful body's Qi and blood were pushed to the extreme, and the power of the Wind Snow Divine Spear increased once again.
With this ferocious attack, the corner of the huge talisman suddenly shattered.
Although the black-armored scorpions did not suffer many casualties, the strange formation could not be maintained for a while.
After Zhao Huan's spear attack, he flipped over and returned to Yang Tie's side. Yang Tie also smiled and put away the Defensive Heaven Shield.
After the black-armored scorpions suffered such a heavy blow, some of their spirits were immediately dampened, and some became even more violent, rushing towards Yang Tie, Zhao Huan, and the others. But although they were violent, they were even less threatening than before.
Yang Tie, Zhao Huan, and the others relaxed again. They controlled the intensity of the black-armored scorpions' attacks, and then let their fellow disciples in the Golden Elixir Period practice with these black-armored scorpions.
"Where is Senior Brother Ying Roza?" The long spear in Zhao Huan's hand turned into a black light, piercing through space, directly stabbing a black-armored scorpion king to death, and then asked casually.
Yang Tie smiled slightly, "To catch bandits, first catch the king. Senior Brother Ying Roza went to find the leader of this group of black-armored scorpions. After that incident just now, he should be found soon, right?"
In a swarm of black-armored scorpions, there would be a leader, but in this swarm of black-armored scorpions, there were no Great Sage demonic insects with indestructible demon souls. The strongest ones were the insect kings.
The insect king leader was more cunning and good at concealing itself, suppressing a portion of its magic power. From the outside, it did not stand out, making it difficult to recognize.
It seemed that the formation of the insect swarm just now was under the command of this leader.
If the leader didn't die, even if the formation was temporarily defeated, it could quickly regroup. However, if the leader, the black armored scorpion, was killed, even if another powerful black armored scorpion became the new leader, it would take a long time to unify the swarm and establish a connection.
Time was not tight, and in consideration of training their fellow disciples with lower cultivation bases, Yang Tie, Ying Roza, and the others had let the insect swarm wreak havoc, but they still had to do what they had to do.
Ying Roza was used to being alone, and his escape technique, the Wolf Movement Technique, was extremely exquisite. Other than being fast, he was also good at concealment, so he left the lonely mountain alone. Silently lurked, he observed the insect swarm, and went to find the insect king.
In the overwhelming sea of insects, there were no special waves, and the numerous black-armored scorpions were actually unable to find Ying Roza's whereabouts.
Zhao Huan shook her head and praised, "Senior Brother Ying Roza's Wolf Movement Technique is truly marvelous. This black-armored scorpion race must have at least a demonic insect with an indestructible demon soul to be able to see his whereabouts."
As she spoke, Zhao Huan's expression suddenly changed slightly, and the expressions of Yang Tie, Sun Xueer, Ke Jing, and the others gradually became solemn.
"The Youdu race has returned to the Boundless World …" The younger disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong all frowned slightly.
Although none of them had truly seen the power of Youdu, as the direct disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they naturally knew what this news meant.
And Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, who had informed them of the news, also gave the order to temporarily retreat and observe the subsequent changes.
Although they could not be sure what the Youdu race would do when they returned to the Boundless World, the younger disciples with lower cultivation still had to be careful. If they were not careful, they would be swept by the tail of the typhoon, and that would be too unjust.
Zhao Huan and Yang Tie looked at each other and nodded. "In that case, let's not waste time with these insects. Let's end this quickly."
At the same time, a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. "Then I'll make my move."
This voice belonged to Ying Roza, and before he finished speaking, a knife light shone in the distance.
