The six of them were clad in heavy black armor. They were either holding a halberd, a spear, or a saber.
The six of them wore masks that blended in with their heavy armor, revealing only their cold eyes.
Even from dozens of meters away, Yu Yuan could smell the thick stench of blood coming from their bodies.
Upon closer inspection, he could see mottled bloodstains on their black armor.
The halberd, spear, and saber were all nearly two meters long.
Based on Yu Yuan's understanding, such weapons were actually not suitable for cultivators.
Only those who rode on war horses all year round would be used to such weapons. They would use the momentum of the war horses to unleash the power of the weapons.
The six of them weren't riding on war horses, so the heavy armor on their bodies became a burden that greatly affected their movement speed.
Bai Shenshen, who was trapped in the center, had a pitiful amount of combat experience despite being in the Subtle Realm.
The streaks of flames she had summoned with her spiritual incantation landed on their heavy armor, causing sparks to fly everywhere. However, they couldn't break through their defenses.
The six of them brandished their weapons, and the spiritual light that blossomed from them, however, made her hands and feet tied.
One of them was armed with a crossbow and arrow, which was the biggest threat to her when she was caught off guard.
She had already been hit by the arrow, and the arrow was laced with poison. Once the poison took effect, she would instantly lose the ability to fight.
The six of them had almost killed Zhan Tianxiang, and now they were targeting her. They clearly didn't care about her identity as a member of the Heavenly Medicine Sect.
"Yu Yuan! What are you standing there for? Run! "Bai Shenshen yelled once more.
Ning Ji looked at the six of them and said, "Yu Yuan, they're not from the Silvermoon Empire, but the Divine Might Empire's Black Fiend Army!"
As soon as he said this, the man with the halberd among the six revealed a look of surprise in his cold, dark eyes under the mask.
It was as if he found it strange that someone would recognize them here.
"Black Fiend Army?" Yu Yuan had never heard of it before.
"The Divine Might Empire's strongest army! The threshold for this army is the Golden Hall Realm! In the Qian Xuan continent, the Black Fiend Army is ranked third among all the armies of the empires! " Ning Ji's face was heavy as he said, "Not long ago, I heard a rumor that the leader of the Black Fiend Army betrayed the Divine Might Empire."
"The Divine Might Empire has dispatched many cultivators to pursue that leader."
"Why has the Black Fiend Army appeared here?"
As Ning Ji spoke, he already had the intention to retreat. He kept winking at Yu Yuan.
The Divine Might Empire's Black Fiend Army had very few people, and it was rumored that they only had around a hundred people.
However, the hundred-man Black Fiend Army had a terrifying reputation in the empires of the Qian Xuan Continent.
The commander of this army was also a mysterious character. It was said that he was only loyal to the current emperor of the Divine Might Empire. His character was cruel and bloodthirsty. Within the Divine Might Empire and outside of it, he was a ferocious person that made children not dare to cry.
His sudden betrayal came very suddenly, and no one knew what was going on.
Ning Ji had only learned about this by chance when he had left Dark Moon City and wandered to other cities.
As a cultivator of the mountains and lakes, Ning Ji had traveled to the distant Divine Might Empire through other means. He was fortunate enough to see the Black Fiend Army in action, and recognized their armor and masks.
"The Divine Might Empire, a traitorous army …"
Yu Yuan froze for a moment, then guessed that this so-called Black Fiend Army betrayed the Divine Might Empire. When they were being pursued by the empire's cultivators, they should have fled to the dangerous land in the north.
The terrain there was dangerous and the environment was terrible. Since ancient times, it was the best place for criminals of the Silver Moon Empire and the Divine Might Empire to escape.
However, the Divine Might Empire was so far away from the Yu Family Town. Why would the Black Fiend Army appear here after transmigrating?
They didn't even know right from wrong and wanted to kill Zhan Tianxiang, Bai Shenshen of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, as soon as they saw him.
"Clang!"
A Black Fiend Army soldier carrying a long spear moved forward. The sound of metal clashing against metal could be heard from his armor. As if he had received an order, he suddenly left Bai Shenshen and sped up.
A bloody mist suddenly rose from his pitch-black armor.
The soldier's sinister mask seemed to be activated by the bloody mist, and he looked like a ferocious demon that had crawled out of a bloody purgatory. He thrust the long spear in his hand forward, and the rolling flesh aura condensed into a giant crocodile with its mouth wide open.
"Profound Breaker stage, flesh aura manifestation!"
Ning Ji's expression flickered slightly as he shouted, telling Yu Yuan to retreat.
The person who had come was at the Profound Breaker stage. Whether it was battle experience or personal strength, he was much stronger than Ning Ji and Yu Yuan.
Ning Ji had just entered the Profound Breaker stage not long ago, and his flesh aura wasn't condensed enough, so he didn't feel confident at all.
Yu Yuan was only at the Golden Hall stage, so he probably wouldn't be a match for him.
Ning Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. However, as he shouted, his figure flashed and appeared in front of Yu Yuan, ready to fight.
"There's no need for that!"
Yu Yuan, who was behind him, let out a long laugh and charged out.
"How can he be so fast?!"
Ning Ji was instantly stunned as he looked at Chen Xi who was like a ray of light, and he simply didn't dare believe his eyes.
Before he could react, Yu Yuan was extremely agile as he easily avoided the long spear that the soldier pierced over, and his footsteps zigzagged as he instantly appeared behind the soldier.
After that, he punched towards the back of the soldier's armor.
It was like a blazing sun that floated out from the back of the soldier in pitch-black heavy armor, and the brilliance emitted from Yu Yuan's fist dazzled Ning Ji's eyes.
"But, the difference in cultivation is too great!" Ning Ji shouted in his heart.
His opponent's cultivation was the same as his, at the initial-stage of the Profound Breaker Stage. This was an entire level higher than Yu Yuan's Golden Hall Stage, and coupled with the heavy armor that the Black Fiend Army wore, it was extremely sturdy. Would Yu Yuan's punch really have any effect?
Clang!
Like an iron hammer striking iron, Yu Yuan's fist smashed onto the back of the soldier's armor, causing sparks to shoot out.
That soldier was struck by Yu Yuan's punch to the point he staggered forward and dashed a few steps.
His eyes went cold as he swiftly turned around, and strands of vital energy and blood that were like blood mist were brewing in his chest, and they intended to pour into the long spear in his hand once more.
The strike of Yu Yuan who was only at the Golden Hall Stage wasn't able to break through the defense of the soldier's armor, yet it still caused him to be extremely displeased.
"Heh!"
Yu Yuan opened his mouth and smiled brilliantly as he said, "Again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another ray of light flashed past, and Yu Yuan avoided the long spear that the soldier swung out once more before appearing like a ghost on the soldier's right side.
Another punch smashed down!
Clang! Clang!
As if he was striking iron, Yu Yuan surrounded this soldier of the Black Fiend Army and ceaselessly swung his fists.
Every single punch that descended carried a force that was heavy like a mountain, and it smashed onto the soldier that held the long spear to the point he staggered back.
That person constantly turned his head and adjusted his direction, but he just couldn't come into direct contact with Yu Yuan, and he was constantly being beaten up.
Ning Ji didn't look at Bai Shenshen's battle with the other five soldiers of the Black Fiend Army anymore, and his attention was completely focused on Yu Yuan. He quickly realized that Yu Yuan was completely relying on his high speed to prevent that Black Fiend Army soldier from touching him.
That soldier's cultivation was a level higher, at the Shattering Profound Realm. Unfortunately, no matter whether it was the armor he wore or the long spear in his hand, they were all abnormally heavy.
In the past, he rode a warhorse and relied on the warhorse to bring out the advantages of his heavy armor and long spear.
But now that he had lost his warhorse, he just couldn't abandon his heavy armor and long spear, and he couldn't go into battle lightly, causing his movement speed to decrease greatly.
Yu Yuan relied on his speed to make him unable to touch him, and repeatedly bombarded him.
Unfortunately, after beating for a long time, he still couldn't break through the defense of the armor. Apart from making that soldier a little dizzy, he didn't cause any substantial damage.
"I'll just stand there and not move. What can you do?"
Annoyed by Yu Yuan, that Black Fiend Army soldier simply stopped on the spot and stood there with his long spear in hand, waiting for Yu Yuan to get close and bombard him.
"With a cultivation at the Golden Hall Realm, I'll let you beat me as you wish. Can you break through my Black Fiend Armor?" His tone was icy cold.
"A mere mediocre spirit grade armor. Do you really think it's impenetrable?" Yu Yuan laughed loudly as he suddenly pressed forward once more and blasted out another punch.
"Bang!"
The spirit energy of heaven and earth in the surroundings suddenly became violent and chaotic, and a dense baleful aura seemed to abruptly surge out from his flesh and bones.
Instantly, Yu Yuan seemed to have transformed into an ancient demon overlord. His clenched fist didn't emit a blazing glow any longer, and it instead dragged along a grey and hazy airflow as it smashed towards the back of the soldier's heart.
"Baleful Fiend Body Refinement Art! Baleful Fiend Barbaric Strength! "
The grey and hazy airflow that was forcefully pulled and condensed from the spirit energy of heaven and earth actually emitted strange hissing sounds as its aura became violent.
"Careful!"
The Subtle realm soldier of the Black Fiend Army who was attacking Bai Shenshen suddenly sensed that something was wrong and warned.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The new fist and the grey and hazy airflow collided with the armor at the back of the Black Fiend Army soldier, causing the armor to suddenly release a black luster.
One could vaguely see the mottled bloodstains on the surface of the armor, forming many strange diagrams.
The diagrams had just appeared when they were shattered by the grey and hazy airflow.
The moment the diagrams shattered, the Baleful Fiend Barbaric Strength that Yu Yuan had hidden in his fist erupted like a torrent, piercing through the defense of the armor and pouring in like a hot knife through butter.
Under the armor, numerous wounds that couldn't be seen with the naked eye immediately appeared on the back of the Black Fiend Army soldier.
His blood vessels and tendons exploded one after another.
He grunted and uncontrollably charged forward in Ning Ji's direction.
Ning Ji could see that he was clenching his teeth. Although he was forcefully enduring the pain, blood continuously flowed from the corner of his mouth and couldn't be stopped.
"So what if you're at the Breaking Profound realm? Once your heart is shattered, won't you still die? "
Yu Yuan smiled and shook his head. "Do you really think that a Spirit Grade armor can protect you? Your cultivation is clearly higher, but you rely on external items. What a joke. "
With these words, the Black Fiend Army soldier charging at Ning Ji could no longer control himself and collapsed to the ground.
More blood gushed out of his mouth.
"This …"
Looking at the corpse of the Black Fiend Army soldier who was still wearing heavy armor, Ning Ji's mind was a little dazed. "A Breaking Profound realm soldier of the Black Fiend Army died just like that?"
"Clang!"
Another new Black Fiend Army soldier took off his armor without a word and smashed the unusually heavy Black Fiend Armor that restricted his speed to the ground.
Even the ferocious mask that covered her face was thrown away.
Surprisingly, it was a valiant female soldier!
