The two beauties by Hei Langjun's side quickly drew their weapons as they stared in horror at the rapid rain of swords shooting towards them. Transcendent artifacts that could forcefully break through their Seamless Net... the two of them were rather doubtful that they could block them.
Actually, Hei Langjun was thinking the same thing. Hence, he pushed his palms against the girls' waists and sent them flying away.
The two bewitching girls, who were still relying on Hei Langjun's protection, immediately cried out in shock. They didn't expect Hei Langjun to use them as shields.
However, there was no point in thinking about it now. The two girls desperately brandished their weapons to block the rain of swords.
"Ahhh …" Amidst the clanging sounds, even though the two girls managed to knock away most of the Thunderclap Flying Swords, they were still riddled with holes. Blood gushed out of their bodies as they screamed in pain, reverting to their true forms — a fox and a lynx — and falling down the mountain.
Hei Langjun brandished the Water-Splitting Spear in his hand in a frenzy to defend himself. Even though the two girls had greatly reduced the pressure on him, one of the Thunderclap Flying Swords still managed to pierce through his abdomen, forcing him to reveal his true form. Under the bright moon, he immediately transformed into a gigantic black-scaled snake.
However, Hei Langjun managed to block the first wave of the Thunderclap Flying Swords and managed to catch his breath. Baring his fangs, Hei Langjun lowered his ferocious head and quickly dove into a cave below. He wanted to escape. The might of the Thunderclap Flying Swords was truly difficult to defend against.
"Despicable!" Miao Yi cursed. How dare he use the girls beside him as a shield? However, he had no choice. He had to save Hei Langjun.
He hurriedly stood up and shouted to Sikong Wuwei, "Hurry and save him!"
The Thunderclap Flying Swords were about to launch their second wave of attacks when Tan Lao, Ye Xin, and the others rushed over to stop the escaping Hei Langjun.
"Brother Hei, run! I will deal with the pursuers myself!" Sikong Wuwei bellowed, "Gu Sanzheng! Take this!"
He swung a gigantic hammer with both arms, emitting the color of wind and thunder. He furiously smashed it through the air, aiming straight for Gu Sanzheng.
Zhao Fei tossed the Spirit Illusion Greatsword out as well. In an instant, it transformed into a million swords and charged towards Tan Lao and Ye Xin.
Miao Yi held his sword artifact in one hand and the Mystic Yin Mirror in the other. While he was on guard, he cast a sidelong glance at Sikong Wuwei. Since when did Hei Langjun become your Brother Hei?
The white-haired old man at the side was dumbfounded as he looked at the people around him. So fierce?
What surprised him even more was that as soon as they made their move, the human aura on their bodies could no longer be concealed. Only then did he realize that they were not demon cultivators. Rather, it was a human cultivator. The reinforcements that the Alliance Lord had prepared were actually human cultivators?
Gu Sanzheng abruptly turned around and saw Miao Yi and the others emerging from the side of the mountain. Naturally, he wouldn't miss out on such a massive hammer. Shocked, he quickly swung his arm, and the Thunderclap Flying Swords immediately turned around to attack the giant hammer once more. Otherwise, getting smashed by the Mountain Suppressing Hammer would be no laughing matter.
Tan Lao and the others were also shocked to see the Spirit Illusion Greatsword. He quickly retracted his hand to save himself.
The three of them were both surprised and overjoyed. They thought Miao Yi and the others had already escaped. They didn't expect them to still be here. No wonder they were able to sneak into the demon's nest. Hearing them call him 'Brother Hei', it turned out that they were friends!
The giant snake that had pounced towards the entrance of the cave abruptly raised its head to look at them 'affectionately'. It realized that Miao Yi and the others looked a little familiar. It remembered seeing them in the tunnel before. It didn't think that the group that had been trembling in fear when they saw it would actually be so ferocious.
Seeing that these people had actually saved it at such a crucial moment... A hint of gratitude flashed across Hei Langjun's eyes as he reverted to his true form. The way they addressed him as' Brother Hei 'made him feel even more amicable.
However, this' Brother Hei 'had no sense of camaraderie. Without any hesitation, it quickly darted into the cave. Its long body slid in and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
As the remaining two groups clashed, Gu Sanzheng and the others felt a headache coming on. They were once again at a stalemate.
When it came to transcendent artifacts, it was never determined by the might of the transcendent artifact in one's hands. Of all the transcendent artifacts present, Sikong Wuwei's Mountain Suppressing Hammer was probably the most powerful. Even Gu Sanzheng's Thunderclap Flying Swords didn't dare to face the Mountain Suppressing Hammer head-on.
However, if the Mountain Suppressing Hammer and the Thunderclap Flying Swords were to fight one on one, Sikong Wuwei would definitely not be Gu Sanzheng's match. Thus, transcendent artifacts always had a natural counter to one another.
"Stop! Let's go!" Miao Yi said, then quickly darted into the cave behind him.
Pi Junzi immediately followed suit. The white-haired old man also darted into the cave without a word. Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei also quickly darted in after putting away their transcendent artifacts.
Gu Sanzheng was enraged and bellowed, "After them!"
The Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts didn't bother with the cave that Hei Langjun had escaped to. The Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts led the others towards the cave that Miao Yi and the others had escaped to.
This time, Gu Sanzheng didn't send anyone to scout ahead. He continued to have Ye Xin and the others stand guard outside, while he and Tan Lao charged straight into the cave. Their movements were swift.
When the two of them came to a fork in the road and didn't know which path to take, the red-nosed black fox was released again. The two of them quickly chased after it.
"Pi Junzi, do you think Hei Langjun will be able to escape?"
Miao Yi asked as he ran behind Pi Junzi in the underground tunnel.
"The cave that he escaped to is connected to three secret tunnels that lead straight to the bottom of the ocean. He was the one who asked me to dig all of them. Once he reaches the bottom of the ocean, it's unlikely that the people on land will be able to catch up to him since he's a member of the sea tribe," Pi Junzi replied.
"Then there shouldn't be any problems. We should be the ones who should be careful. Gu Sanzheng and the others are most likely coming for us …" Miao Yi turned to Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei to converse. However, when he turned around, he saw a white-haired old man with them. It was the tree demon from before, and he was currently following them. Miao Yi couldn't help but berate, "Old man, why are you following us?"
Sikong Wuwei immediately asked, "You didn't bring this old demon along with you?"
When he and Zhao Fei retreated into the underground tunnel, they saw the old man running after Miao Yi. At first, they thought that Miao Yi had called for him. If they knew that wasn't the case, they wouldn't have allowed him to follow them for so long.
The old man hurriedly said, "Since you are the Alliance Master's friends, I naturally have to protect you!"
Even though he didn't know what kind of relationship these people had with Hei Langjun, since they were able to save Hei Langjun, and one of them even called Hei Langjun 'Brother Hei', then they were definitely on his side. As for whether they were Yao cultivators or human cultivators, it didn't matter. The law of survival was universal, and it would definitely work across different races.
Miao Yi and the others weren't fools. Anyone could tell that the old man was just putting it nicely when he said he was going to protect them. Now that this island was already occupied by the people outside, he probably felt that it would be safer to run with them.
Suddenly, Pi Junzi stopped in his tracks and pressed his ear against the wall to listen. His expression changed slightly as he exclaimed, "This is bad! Two people are coming after us. They've accurately located our path. "
Miao Yi immediately turned around. He looked at the old demon and said, "I'll give you a chance to protect us. You go and hold them off for us."
"Ah!" The white-haired old man was shocked. 'Why would I follow you if I could hold them off? You can't even stop them with your powerful artifacts. How can I stop them? '
"Let's go!" Miao Yi decisively called for the others to continue running.
"I can't stop them!" the old man shouted as he chased after them.
"You have to stop them even if you can't. I …" Miao Yi suddenly raised his hand as he ran past a bend in the tunnel. "Wait!"
Everyone stopped in their tracks. Sikong Wuwei anxiously said, "I say, Young Master, what are you trying to do now?"
Miao Yi seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and looked around the tunnel. He quickly pressed his body against the corner and took out the Mystic Yin Mirror, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei quickly looked around the tunnel where there was nowhere to hide. Their eyes lit up as they understood Miao Yi's intentions. He was preparing to launch a sneak attack with the Mystic Yin Mirror.
Miao Yi beckoned Pi Junzi over with his hand. He pointed to the wall and said, "Listen. Hear them enter this tunnel. When they're about a hundred meters away from us, give me a signal. "
Pi Junzi nodded and quickly pressed his ear against the wall.
Miao Yi then said to the white-haired old man, "It'll be fine if the sneak attack succeeds. But if it fails, you have to immediately hold them off."
The white-haired old man was on the verge of tears. He cupped his hands and said, "Milord, I really can't hold them off!"
Miao Yi explained, "I'm not asking you to fight them head-on. What I'm saying is that if we lose control of them, we will immediately escape. You will be the last to run, collapsing the tunnel as you run. That way, they won't be able to continue chasing us. This shouldn't be too dangerous. "
"How can it not be dangerous? They easily broke through a hundred meters of soil and stone from the ground to the surface …"
Before the old man could finish expressing his worries, Miao Yi immediately told Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei, "If he doesn't do it later, kill him immediately. Or throw him out and let Gu Sanzheng and the others deal with him. "
"Ah …" Before the old man could react, Sikong Wuwei had already pulled out a sword artifact from his storage ring and held it against the old man's neck with a sinister smile on his face, forcing the old man to swallow back his words.
Zhao Fei also pulled out a sword artifact and held it against the old man's back. The two of them exchanged glances, then simultaneously grabbed one of the old man's arms and kicked the back of his knees. They each stepped on one of the old man's calves, forcing him to kneel on the ground. They immediately restrained him, not giving him a chance to play any tricks.
The white-haired old man had a miserable expression on his face as he looked at Pi Junzi pleadingly.
Pi Junzi could only give him a sympathetic look. He couldn't say anything else. If he said anything more, he might not be able to guarantee that this Lord Niu would let him cover their retreat. It wasn't like he hadn't experienced this old man's ruthlessness before.
Not long after, Pi Junzi, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly tensed up. Everyone immediately held their breaths, not daring to make the slightest sound. They even controlled their heartbeats.
After that, even Miao Yi could hear the sounds of people rushing towards them without needing Pi Junzi's reminder.
Almost at the same time Pi Junzi gave the signal, Miao Yi had already come out from around the corner. The Mystic Yin Mirror in his hand violently spewed out a wave of cold Yin energy.
As soon as the cold Yin energy was released, even the people behind him shivered from the bone-chilling cold.
Gu Sanzheng and Tan Lao were chasing after the black fox. Seeing another fork in the road ahead, they were just about to decide which way to go when they suddenly saw the Mystic Yin Mirror coming out from around the corner. Then, they saw Miao Yi's sinister smile and were almost scared out of their wits.
There was nowhere to hide in this straight tunnel. There was no way they could hide even if they wanted to. They wouldn't even have enough time to break through the walls to hide.
The sixteen flying shields circling around Tan Lao exerted all of their transcendence energy to activate them. In an instant, the sixteen flying shields clashed against the incoming cold Yin energy and formed a huge shield, sealing off the tunnel.
"You win!" Miao Yi didn't expect them to have this trick up their sleeves. He quickly retracted his body and kicked the white-haired old man to the ground without another word. Then, he turned around and ran.
