The bone-chilling black mist gushed out like a tidal wave, bringing with it a freezing sensation that not only affected the physical body, but even the soul. It was extremely powerful.
Kuang Lianqiu grinned wickedly as he swept the troops charging at him with the Mystic Yin Mirror. He was prepared to finish off this group of troops before swiftly dealing with the ones surrounding him.
Sikong Wuwei and the others were quickly frozen stiff. Under the inertia, they were instantly thrown off their mounts. Almost none of the nearly two hundred troops were spared. They were all frozen stiff on the ground, along with their mounts. The troops were covered in a layer of white frost, which gradually melted under the scorching sun. It was a strange sight.
However, there was one person who wasn't afraid of the extreme cold Yin aura. His entire body, along with his mount, glowed with a blue radiance as he continued to charge at Kuang Lianqiu.
It was none other than Miao Yi. Prepared for this, Miao Yi had already activated the transcendence source in his body to protect himself and Charcoal.
Kuang Lianqiu was shocked. He knew that Miao Yi could neutralize the cold Yin aura, but he had already frozen Miao Yi once before. Why wasn't there any reaction this time?
His opponent instantly charged at him. Kuang Lianqiu couldn't care less about the large number of troops that were already charging at him. The cold Yin aura from the Mystic Yin Mirror rustled violently at Miao Yi, leaving a trail of frost in the middle of the day.
Holding onto his spear with one arm, Miao Yi immediately released his other hand, releasing a series of white light as ten First Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans exploded.
Boom boom boom … A series of explosions rang out.
Kuang Lianqiu attacked with the Mystic Yin Mirror in one hand and his spear in the other. He used his own cultivation to block the explosive power of the First Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans and kept the explosion at bay. These low-grade talismans couldn't do anything to him.
Boom! Suddenly, a beam of blue light exploded amidst the white light, deafening Kuang Lianqiu. The spear in his hand was almost knocked out of his hand.
Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talisman!
Kuang Lianqiu immediately realized that he had been tricked. His opponent had purposely used a series of First Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans to confuse him. The real killer move was the Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans that followed.
No, the real killer move was yet to come! Kuang Lianqiu, who had yet to stabilize himself from the deafening explosion, was shocked when he saw another streak of green light shooting toward him. It exploded in front of his eyes. This time, the sound of the explosion wasn't loud, and the power of the explosion wasn't great. However, a cyan cow shadow instantly pounced over. He quickly calmed himself down.
Second Grade Body Securing Talisman!
Kuang Lianqiu turned pale with fright. This was the first time he had met this person, and this person didn't even know what his cultivation was. They hadn't even fought face-to-face yet, yet this person was already using so many talismans to attack him. Could it be that he had too many talismans?
Kuang Lianqiu struggled with all his cultivation to break free from the Azure Ox's silhouette.
If he were to rely on his own cultivation base, it might be difficult for him to break free from the bindings of the Second Grade Body Securing Talisman. However, the treasured armor on his body emitted a green light at the same time, and with the combined power of several Second Grade Transcendent Treasures, the silhouette of the green ox that was binding him was instantly distorted.
Bang! The figure of the green ox exploded, and the binding force instantly collapsed.
However, this was exactly what Miao Yi wanted. He didn't hesitate to waste so many talismans just to fight for this tiny bit of time.
One man, one steed. His spear was already upon him. It wasn't possible for him to break through the Second Grade Transcendent Armor on Kuang Lianqiu's body. A spear shadow moved as fast as a shooting star, taking advantage of the momentary opening and striking out with a dragon's roar.
Kuang Lianqiu was almost scared out of his wits when he broke free from the bindings. He raised his spear to block, but the incoming spear was like a bolt of black lightning, brushing past his own spear shaft. All he felt was a sharp pain on his neck. He was so shocked that his subconsciousness instantly reacted, 'What a powerful spear technique!'
As he pierced Kuang Lianqiu's neck with his spear, Miao Yi had already freed one hand to draw his sword. He unsheathed the sword artifact at his waist and chopped off Kuang Lianqiu's arm with a black flash. With a casual wave of his hand, he stored the severed arm, the Mystic Yin Mirror, and the sword artifact into his storage ring.
The series of movements were done in one go, without any pause.
This mirror artifact was too powerful. Miao Yi couldn't allow it to fall into the hands of another Ghost Cultivator. Otherwise, he would have wasted the risk of using so many talismans in one go. Using the same method again and again might not be effective.
After storing the severed arm, the Mystic Yin Mirror, and the sword artifact into his storage ring, Miao Yi quickly retaliated with his spear, having sent Kuang Lianqiu's head flying.
As soon as Kuang Lianqiu's attack failed, the Ghost Cultivators behind him immediately rushed forward and attacked in a frenzy. They seemed to be in a hurry to snatch the Mystic Yin Mirror back.
Charcoal's charging body almost toppled over. He quickly turned his body sideways and dodged the attack. Miao Yi's hand let out a dragon's roar as he thrust his spear forward like a dragon, simultaneously blocking the combined attacks of the Ghost Cultivators.
Clang! Clang! Both of Miao Yi's arms were numb from the impact. If the Inversed-Scales Spear hadn't been able to deflect twenty percent of the attack's force, the spear in his hand would definitely have been knocked out of his hand. He could sense that the cultivators attacking him were all much stronger than him.
If the other party didn't have a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact, Miao Yi might have been able to fight evenly with them. However, the other party was also using a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact. With their superior cultivation, the outcome was obvious.
Both of his arms were numb from the impact, and he no longer had any room to retaliate. He couldn't even swing his spear, much less retaliate. All he could do was protect his vitals with all his might.
In just a short moment, he and Charcoal had already been struck multiple times. Their protective armor artifacts were riddled with ghastly dents, and their internal organs felt like they were being overturned.
"Pfft …" He wanted to hold back a mouthful of blood, but in the end, he couldn't. Even though he wanted to, he still couldn't help but spit it out under another heavy blow.
"Harrumph!" Charcoal hissed in pain and quickly fled, relying on the strength of his legs to carry Miao Yi away from the frenzied attacks.
Miao Yi was almost sent flying from Charcoal's body after taking a heavy blow. The difference in strength between the two parties was simply too great. The other party's strength could practically kill him with a single blow. Miao Yi desperately hooked his feet onto the spikes on Charcoal's armor, relying on them to prevent himself from being sent flying.
Both man and steed had to thank Yao Ruoxian for refining this armor artifact. If it weren't for the fact that the armor artifact also had the ability to deflect force, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape. It was fortunate that it was a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact. If it was a First Grade Transcendent Artifact, even the armor artifact would have been shattered by the heavy blow.
Back then, Miao Yi's First Grade Transcendent Artifact's helmet had been reduced to dust by Zhang Decheng's flying sword, shattering it on the spot.
Charcoal fled in a hurry. The blue glow on his body and Miao Yi's Second Grade Transcendent Artifact instantly dimmed.
"Don't panic, Alliance Master!"
Dong Quan and Wang Yuetian saw that the situation wasn't looking good, so they leaped down from the sky and blocked Miao Yi's path, blocking the frenzied attacks of the pursuing Ghost cultivators.
The Red Scarves Alliance had the advantage in numbers to begin with, so the battle was almost one-sided in an instant. Seeing that Miao Yi was at a disadvantage, it wasn't a problem for them to send some of their men over. Yu Baixing immediately led another group over and killed off the Ghost cultivators who had joined forces to attack Miao Yi.
Seeing that Miao Yi had broken free, the Red Scarves Alliance quickly charged back into the encirclement. Without Kuang Lianqiu's Mystic Yin Mirror's power, a force of five hundred against a hundred was as easy as chopping vegetables.
It didn't take long for them to completely annihilate the Ghost cultivators.
As the others cleaned up the battlefield, Wang Yuetian and the other leaders quickly galloped towards a nearby hill. Miao Yi was standing alone on the hill.
When they arrived by Miao Yi's side, they felt a lingering fear when they saw the dents on Miao Yi's armor.
"Alliance Master, are you alright?" they asked.
"… Pfft!" Miao Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was fine. However, his heavily injured body failed him, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Shocked, they jumped off their dragon steeds and were about to help him up when Miao Yi raised his hand to stop them.
After spitting out another mouthful of blood, Miao Yi felt much more at ease. He took a deep breath, then said with a pale face, "What a powerful transcendent artifact. I almost lost my life to it. Fortunately, I managed to kill the other party despite being heavily injured. Otherwise, our Red Scarves Alliance would have been in grave danger."
There were some things that had to be fought for. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire. He didn't say that he was heavily injured because his cultivation wasn't strong enough. Instead, he said that he couldn't block the attack because of the transcendent artifact, and that he had risked his life to kill the other party for the sake of the Red Scarves Alliance's safety.
If he could, he even wanted to pretend that nothing had happened to him. However, his body failed him. He couldn't hold back the blood in his chest and still spat it out.
The others didn't doubt his words at all. Even if Miao Yi didn't say it, they wouldn't have suspected him either.
That transcendent artifact was simply too powerful. When the two sides were charging at each other, they had witnessed Kuang Lianqiu's tyrannical transcendent artifact with their own eyes. Then, they saw Sikong Wuwei and the others fall to the ground. In the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred of them had all been defeated. They were all shocked.
If the battle continued like this, they wouldn't stand a chance no matter how many men they had. Fortunately, the Alliance Master had withstood the transcendent artifact's tyrannical might at the most crucial moment, risking great danger to go against the odds and kill the transcendent artifact wielder in one fell swoop, saving the Red Scarves Alliance's perilous situation.
In their eyes, Miao Yi had single-handedly turned the tide of this battle.
Faced with such a powerful transcendent artifact, most people wouldn't have been able to withstand it. Sikong Wuwei and the others, who had the same cultivation as him, were a good example. In their eyes, it was reasonable for Miao Yi to suffer some injuries. If he was completely fine, then that would be too ridiculous.
What's more, the fact that he was able to escape after suffering so many attacks was a testament to his cultivation. If his cultivation wasn't high, he would have long fallen off his steed.
Of course, they didn't know that Yao Ruoxian's refined armor artifact had played a crucial role. If the attack had landed squarely on Miao Yi's body, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Hence, they couldn't help but feel impressed. They couldn't help but recall how Miao Yi had slaughtered the three major sects like he was chopping vegetables when they first disembarked. Then, they recalled how Miao Yi had gone against the odds and killed them to steal their transcendent artifact. They couldn't help but praise the Alliance Master in their hearts.
However … they turned to look at Sikong Wuwei and the others, who were still lying stiff on the ground. With so many of their men dead, it was inevitable that they would grieve.
Miao Yi knew what they were thinking. He panted and said, "Don't worry. It's hard to say if time drags on. Just now, when we were fighting against that transcendent artifact, I already found a way to counter it. I should be able to help Sikong Wuwei and the others. You guys go. Let me rest for a while."
