The only thing that surprised Xu Liao was that Wang Chao, who was usually very mischievous, had displayed outstanding swordsmanship. His sword light was neither particularly fast nor particularly sharp, but each strike could severely injure the heavenly ghosts. He had achieved something that even the four Da Yanshi could not do.
Yun Qingke was shocked when he saw Xu Liao. While he knew that this disciple of his was no ordinary person, he did not expect that Xu Liao would not escape on his own. Instead, he would risk his life to barge in.
Bai Qiulian's eyes immediately turned red when she saw Xu Liao. In her mind, Xu Liao was almost omnipotent. His sudden appearance at such a critical moment gave her hope of survival.
There were at least twenty or thirty Demon Generals among the heavenly ghosts. Even if everyone fought with all their might, there was no hope of breaking out of the encirclement. After all, the heavenly ghosts were best at Void Transference, so there was no way they could escape!
Except for Bai Qiulian, the others could only sigh inwardly. Xu Liao was really loyal, but no one believed that he could lead everyone out of the encirclement. They just felt that there was one more guy who was going to die.
Xu Liao had no time to say more. He could no longer hide his strength and forcibly activated the Mysterious Stabilizing Mirror, causing its light to sweep in all directions.
The usually successful Mysterious Stabilizing Mirror could only slightly slow down the movements of the weaker heavenly ghosts. At least half of the thirty heavenly ghosts at the Da Yanshi level were unaffected.
Xu Liao sighed inwardly. If it were one-on-one, he would not be afraid of heavenly ghosts at the Da Yanshi level, even if he had to face two or three of them. But when there were twenty or thirty heavenly ghosts, he could not stop them all even if he used all his strength.
Fortunately, his attack was sudden, and the heavenly ghosts had not seen the changes of the Mysterious Stabilizing Mirror. Those who suffered losses retreated in shock, while those who did not suffer losses were a little more cautious. This loosened the magical power of the void that surrounded the people of Dongxuanxian School.
Xu Liao shook open the Two Realms Great Heavenly Devil Streamer, and with a loud shout, he exerted all the magical power in his body, forcefully opened a crack in the void, and teleported everyone outside.
Although Xu Liao's demonic energy was far superior to his peers and was not inferior to that of a slightly weaker Da Yanshi, he was still a demon king after all. Even though he exerted all his demonic energy to activate the Great Heavenly Fiend Banner of Two Realms and broke the void magical ability of dozens of Heavenly Ghosts, he still could not help but feel weak.
Bai Qiulian's reaction was the fastest. She immediately took over the Dark Gold Cloud Light, wrapped everyone up, and fled for their lives.
The dark golden cloud was extremely fast, but the reaction of the Heavenly Ghosts was not slow either. Although the Heavenly Ghosts could not fly faster than the dark golden cloud, they were adept at moving through the void. Therefore, it did not take long for the Heavenly Ghosts to appear outside the dark golden cloud, their ghostly claws even grabbing into the cloud.
Yun Qingke, Li Qingya, Lu Mingchi, and Ren Lingxuan, the four Da Yanshi cultivators, each activated their sword energies to protect everyone. At this point, the Tiangang Warriors could no longer intervene. Sword energies swirled in the cloud light, and ghostly claws churned. No one knew how many times they had exchanged blows in a flash.
Xu Liao let out a sigh of relief, shook open the Two Realms Great Heavenly Fiend Banner, and teleported several times in a row, leaving most of the heavenly ghosts behind. Finally, his predicament was slightly alleviated.
Xu Liao did not have time to ask where these heavenly ghosts came from. He shouted, "Where should we go to be safe?"
Yun Qingke shouted without hesitation, "To the Azure Dragon District!"
The elder's thoughts were very clear. The heavenly ghosts were best at using void spells. Even if they had the Dark Gold Cloud Light and Xu Liao's newly refined Great Heavenly Fiend Banner, they would not be able to escape. Only by alerting the ancient Azure Dragon would they have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
If they did not encounter the Azure Dragon, they would definitely die. If they encountered the Azure Dragon, they might still have a chance. Even if they still died, it was better than dying in the hands of these heavenly ghosts.
Xu Liao sat cross-legged and used the Two Realms Great Heavenly Fiend Banner to teleport through the void, so that most of the heavenly ghosts would not be able to catch up. Occasionally, he would deflect the attacks of the heavenly ghosts and teleport those that were close to him away.
With Xu Liao's help, the Dongxuanxian School's people were in a much better situation. Although they were still being chased, they were no longer surrounded, and they were not completely defenseless.
Xu Liao used all his strength to activate the Two Realms Great Heavenly Fiend Banner. He did not have any spare energy to use other spells. He secretly calculated how long it would take to escape into the Azure Dragon District.
Originally, the group was already moving as fast as a meteor. However, in everyone's hearts, they felt like they were moving at a snail's pace. When Xu Liao shouted and broke through a layer of restrictions, everyone's hearts relaxed slightly. They knew that they had already escaped into the Azure Dragon Region.
Yun Qingke pointed his sword diagonally and was about to blast into the Azure Dragon District's sea. The Azure Dragon District was a vast ocean with surging blue waves that seemed to have no end. Although Yun Qingke's cultivation base was at the Great Yan level, he did not know if his sword would awaken the slumbering ancient green dragon in the face of such a vast ocean.
It was just like how humans had missiles, but even if they fired tens of thousands of them into the sea, they might not be able to hit a specific fish.
At that moment, Bai Xianren suddenly shouted, "The heavenly ghosts have retreated. They are afraid of this place, so they did not chase us …"
Bai Xianren was usually gentle and refined. It was rare for him to act like a drunkard on the streets, shouting wildly without any regard for his image.
Xu Liao also noticed that the heavenly ghosts had not caught up with them. He had just relaxed a little when a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. He hastily controlled the Great Heavenly Devil Streamer of Two Realms to move a heavenly ghost that had appeared out of nowhere half a meter away. This heavenly ghost's claw missed Bai Xianren's head by a few centimeters and crushed one of his arms!
Wang Chao was the closest to the Heavenly Ghost. With a sweep of his sword, he sliced off three of the Heavenly Ghost's fingers. Only then did the Heavenly Ghost, which was at the pinnacle of the Demon General realm, retreat. As the three elders and Ren Lingxuan's sword lights closed in, the Heavenly Ghost finally gave up on chasing after them. It leaped into the void and disappeared in a flash.
Bai Xianren's face was pale from the pain. The worst part was that his arm had been crushed. His future cultivation would definitely be affected. At that moment, he felt like he was dying.
Yun Qingke sighed and threw the Overbearing Fruit that Xu Liao offered to him. He said gently, "Eat it!"
Bai Xianren was taken aback and quickly swallowed the fruit. The arm that had been crushed by the heavenly ghost emitted a puff of white smoke. When the smoke dissipated, another intact arm grew out. He couldn't help but laugh wildly, unable to contain his joy.
Li Qingya felt that it was a pity. This Overbearing Fruit was originally prepared for Duan Ya. He was the most outstanding person in the previous generation of Dongxuanxian School and was known as the person most likely to break through to the Dao Realm. Later on, he fought with the powerful figures of the four major armies and was severely injured. Since then, his cultivation had stagnated.
However, Li Qingya also knew that if she didn't save Bai Xianren, this disciple would be crippled. It was not the style of an immortal sect to have an Overbearing Fruit that could save a person, so although she felt that it was a pity, she didn't stop him.
