In the sky, the silvery-white sky had disappeared and was replaced by a grayish-white sky.
Countless snowflake-like grayish-white gas fell from the sky, causing the entire place to be filled with bone-chilling cold.
Ma Nan's side all put up simple defenses to isolate themselves from the grayish-white gas. Otherwise, they would be frozen stiff and unable to fight at all.
However, the demon souls ignored all of this and continued to stand there, allowing the grayish-white snowflakes to fall on their bodies. Their ferocious eyes kept looking at the enemies around them.
As long as they received an order from above, they would fearlessly pounce on the enemies.
In the face of Lord Jin's threat, Elder Gu smiled instead. Her fearless eyes revealed a trace of mockery. She raised her arm and pointed the green sword at the three of them. Her meaning was self-evident.
"Kill her!"
Lord Jin's cold voice was squeezed out from between his teeth. Then, he picked up his weapon and took the lead to charge forward.
"No matter how crafty you are, we still have to fight in the end. Prepare to die." Commander Mi laughed and rushed forward with the double axes on his back in his hands.
As for the subordinate, he had already circled around from the side and was ready to attack Elder Gu together.
Elder Gu did not advance in the face of the three people's pincer attack. Instead, she retreated. With a flick of her wrist, the green shadows filled the sky and turned into a curtain of swords that slashed towards Lord Jin.
Lord Jin smiled sinisterly. He was not confused by the illusions at all. The short spear in his hand accurately collided with the opponent in mid-air. Commander Mi, who had already followed behind, saw this and chopped the big axe in his hand towards Elder Gu's left shoulder.
However, Elder Gu turned her body and slid slightly to the side. She took the opportunity to pull out the weapon in her hand and slashed it to the side, hitting the subordinate's attack from behind.
However, as soon as she moved, Lord Jin also leaned forward and used the weapon in his hand as a short stick. He struck towards the opponent's chest with malice.
A trace of anger flashed in Elder Gu's eyes. She nimbly retreated and retreated through the gap between Commander Mi and the opponent's pincer attack. At the same time, she used the opportunity to turn around and pointed to the side.
A crackling sound flashed in the air. A grayish-white light instantly emerged from the tip of her finger and rushed towards the subordinate like lightning.
The latter did not expect the opponent to have the time to sneak attack him at this time. He was caught off guard and was hit directly on the shoulder, instantly flying out.
"Be careful. Give it your all."
Lord Jin looked at his subordinate and steadied himself in midair. There were no major injuries, so he instructed sternly.
The other party's battle sense seemed to have exceeded their expectations. Not only did he seem to be a veteran of many battles, he was also able to see through their every move.
Naturally, he didn't know that Elder Gu's cultivation had almost reached the peak of the Grand Heavenly Realm in the past, and his combat experience was much higher than theirs. It was just that his body was in such a state, and his strength had declined a lot. Otherwise, how could he take them seriously?
However, it was precisely because of this that Lord Jin had come. Otherwise, there would definitely be more powerful Demon Souls coming.
Restraining the arrogance in his heart, he began to attack Elder Gu with all his might. She was no longer as relaxed as she was at the beginning, and gradually began to be suppressed.
While the battle above began, a fierce battle also broke out below.
The guards had already crossed the distance and were heading towards Ma Nan and the allied army of devil spirits.
However, before they could come into contact with each other, the Spell Casters on the periphery had already gathered together. In front of them was the leader wearing a silver Taoist robe.
With a flick of her horsetail whisk, more than a dozen silver talismans appeared around her. Silver light constantly flowed on them.
Behind her, the yellow talismans floating around the Spell Casters were also flowing with colorful lights. Waves of terrifying auras emerged from them.
As the black-armored guards in front were about to come into contact with each other, terrifying attacks were already launched.
Streaks of yellow lightning emerged from this side like dancing thunder. In an instant, they crossed the distance and exploded in the center of the Demon Souls. In an instant, dozens of people in the center were vaporized. Even Ma Nan and the others were implicated as they screamed in agony.
Most of them were mixed with silver lightning. After breaking through the enemy's surface defense, it brought about such a huge result.
Elder Gu was no stranger to these Monster Souls. It could be said that he had fought with them for many years, and he had long grasped the characteristics of the Monster Souls. He was confident that his guards would be able to withstand the Monster Souls' charge and protect the Black Temple.
A portion of the Demon Souls joined forces with Ma Nan and rushed toward the Spell Casters. They knew that they had to kill these guys on the outside. Otherwise, they would only be able to take a beating. Moreover, the enemy was so powerful. If this continued, it would not take long for them to be worn down by the enemy.
However, they had just set off when a beautiful red figure descended from the sky and blocked their path. The black-armored guards on the side gathered and formed a defense in front of them in the blink of an eye.
The Demon Souls did not care at all. Relying on their own strength, they prepared to break through by force.
However, the leader of the red guards did not play by the rules. She threw the large shield in her hand, and with a shocking whistling sound, it spun in mid-air.
Wherever it passed, the Demon Souls were sent flying by the huge force above. Although they did not suffer fatal injuries, the entire formation was in chaos. Only a dozen Spirits of the Dead on the side were unaffected and rushed forward.
However, looking at the Spirits of the Dead that did not even reach the opponent's chest, the red leader stretched out her arm and swept them. These Spirits of the Dead were immediately sent flying. Even though they had thick skin and flesh, some of the Demon Souls changed shape in the air.
At this time, the Spell Casters at the back, with the help of Black Temple, sped up their casting. Soon, they attacked the Demon Souls that had just gathered and broke up the enemy's formation again.
Ma Nan, who was following behind the Demon Souls, saw that the red leader had led the guards in a counterattack. He took a deep breath and quietly retreated, following the other party's recklessness.
However, they could not retreat too far because the guards had already pressed down on them from all directions. Fierce battles had already broken out everywhere.
Many people and guards had already fallen.
However, what made Ma Nan's side despair was that some guards who were not seriously injured stood up energetically after being shone by a ray of silver light. All the injuries on their bodies had healed completely.
This ray of silver light came from the silver leader standing at the back. The willow twig gently touched the bowl, and with a wave, dozens of rays of silver light sank into the guards below who were worthy of treatment, healing their injuries.
Unless the guards were killed immediately, they would soon stand up and fight with all their might.
Even though the Demon Souls and Ma Nan had more people on their side, they seemed to be suppressed by these guards.
Not to mention, from time to time, there would be aftershocks in the air. In the aftershocks, regardless of friend or foe, everything would disappear. It was even more terrifying.
"Captain, the situation is not good. I'm afraid that before Commander Mi can finish off the other side, we'll be finished off." After Little Hou kicked the guard in front of him away, he looked up and roared at Xi Feiguan beside him.
At this time, Commander Mi had completely gained the upper hand, forcing Elder Gu to defend more than he attacked. However, it seemed that it would be a long time before they could finish off the other side.
Captain Xi Feiguan also looked at his own people. Other than the newbie Mo You who had died, the others were fine. However, if this continued, they would be exhausted to death by the other side sooner or later. The other side's black armored guards were still continuously attacking.
The situation now was completely different from before. He did not know what to do. He could not help but look at Commander Wu Gang.
"Everyone, hold on. Retreat as you fight. Retreat outside."
Perhaps because he had received too many inquiries, Wu Gang made this decision at this time.
Although this would offend the Demon Souls, for the sake of their companions, he would bear the responsibility.
Moreover, being surrounded like this was too passive. They could not regroup and attack again.
Under Wu Gang's command, everyone mustered their strength and began to forcefully break out of the encirclement. For a time, the guards were beaten back.
In terms of strength, as long as they did not panic, these guards were still relatively easy to deal with. As long as they did not fight the other side head-on, they would not even know how they died.
"Let's go, stop fighting!"
After Little Hou's side forced the guards back, they all retreated. However, Gu Zheng saw that Little Hou, who was a step slower, was once again blocked by two guards. With a thought, he instantly rushed up to help Little Hou block the other side's attack. At the same time, he also helped Little Hou resist the other side's attack.
Little Hou was originally in despair because everyone was quickly retreating and did not pay attention to this side. He did not expect that Gu Zheng would turn around to save him. This made him feel very touched. Just as he was about to say something, he felt a sharp pain in his leg and he fell down involuntarily.
A guard who only had half of his body left and was not completely dead actually chopped off Little Hou's leg with a swing of his weapon.
Although as long as he had a soul stone and enough time, he would be able to recover, in this place, after losing a leg, there was no need to think about the consequences.
"Thank you, brother. These are my things. I can't go back. These are all for you. Let's go!"
Before Little Hou fell down, he was helped up by Gu Zheng. Little Hou held onto Gu Zheng's shoulder to maintain his body. However, in the next moment, Little Hou took out a crude bracelet and placed it in Gu Zheng's arms.
He knew his own situation. Even if he wanted to escape, he would not be able to. The guards surrounded them again. If they did not leave now, no one would be able to leave. Therefore, he wanted Gu Zheng to leave first and give him all the things he had accumulated.
Just as he was speaking, he received another attack from the side, causing his body to tremble. Fortunately, he still had the soul armor that he had just exchanged for, which blocked the attack. Otherwise, he would have really fallen this time.
"If you want to leave, then leave. Although I am afraid of death, if not for you, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. You should go."
Gu Zheng pretended to be affectionate and said. He was going to leave. What would he do later?
As he spoke, he took out the other party's things and stuffed them into Little Hou's arms without any explanation. Then, ignoring the attacks of the guards, he directly grabbed Little Hou's last leg and threw him.
Little Hou's figure suddenly flew out of the air, passing through the scattered guards in the middle and landing directly beside the captain.
At this time, they realized that Gu Zheng and Little Hou were gone. They did not care about Gu Zheng, but Little Hou had to ask. However, most of the people behind him had already broken out with Wu Gang. Only a few of his companions were left behind. Obviously, it was very likely that they would not be able to come out.
Just as he was gathering and preparing to go back to rescue them, he realized that Little Hou had already fallen from the sky. He hurriedly caught him before he landed. This also allowed him to see his situation clearly.
The soul armor on his body was tattered. It was estimated that it would completely shatter next time. Even one of his legs was missing.
"It's Gu Zheng. He's already dead …" When Little Hou flew up, he saw that Gu Zheng had already been surrounded by the guards in order to send him out.
"You're a man. Let's go first. We'll talk later." Xi Qian simply praised him and then left with Little Hou and the others.
To Gu Zheng, he was just a new companion. However, when he knew that the other party was able to leave because of Little Hou, he also felt that it was a pity. That was all.
Soon, these people gathered at the side of the grey-white barrier. Some people quickly regrouped when they realized that they could not leave.
The original team of more than a thousand people was now left with only about a thousand people. More than four hundred people had already died. Most of the small teams had lost some of their companions. Some of the small teams had even disappeared from head to toe.
"Gather, hurry up and gather. The other party is coming."
They had just gathered and did not have time to relax. The figures of the guards had already appeared in the distance. They were scattered and charged towards them. There were no less than three hundred of them, and there were more behind them.
Even if they wanted to escape, they could not do so. They could only fight.
"Where's that helper of yours? Why hasn't he appeared yet? Is it because he doesn't dare to meet people or because he ran away in fear? "
In the sky, Ji Mu mocked Elder Gu who only had the ability to dodge.
As only the Spirit Demon Army was left below, they were entangled with the other party's guards. At this moment, the worry in his heart had completely dissipated.
He originally thought that Elder Gu's companion would be hiding in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack. However, the surroundings were now empty. The other party had not appeared yet. Such a good opportunity was gone. It could also be said that the other party did not come at all. They had worried for nothing for so long.
Elder Gu did not speak. There was no change in his expression. He just continued to block their attacks.
"Since the other party is not coming out, then don't blame us for not being polite. Let's end this quickly." Master Jin ordered the two of them.
One must know that there was a person of the same cultivation level watching them from the shadows. This made their hands and feet tied. They were afraid that the other party would sneak up on them in the next attack.
Now that the other party was not coming out, there was no point in wasting time here with Elder Gu. One must know that the subordinates of both parties were still fighting below. It was better to reduce the losses as much as possible.
"You should have done this long ago." Commander Mi laughed out loud. Then, he took a step back.
Countless black gas surrounded his body. His entire body swelled up again, turning into a real muscular rhinoceros. Even his aura became more powerful. At the same time, a black armor covered half of his body, covering the important parts of his body.
As for the two seemingly clumsy axes, the handles in the middle disappeared and turned into a short blade with a black metallic luster. The two sides of the axes were still incomparably sharp. The huge arc almost merged into one in front of him. He held them in the middle with one hand.
After he exploded, he immediately went forward to join Elder Gu's attack. This time, Elder Gu clearly felt the pressure increase.
Master Jin also smiled. The short spear in his hand suddenly turned into a long black spear. It did not look like there were any other changes, but the attack power from the weapon had obviously increased. He just did not explode with his full strength.
Seeing them explode one after another, Elder Gu was still the same. However, she knew that she also did not use her full strength. She was just waiting for a very good opportunity to continue to endure.
Seeing this, the subordinate behind him also retreated a little. His whole body was also surrounded by black balls. A shield and a new weapon condensed in his left and right hands. It was obvious that the other party had been pretending to be weak from the beginning to the end. He did not use his full strength at all.
Who asked Master Jin to prepare to seal an unknown enemy? Unfortunately, he wasted so much time.
He was already prepared to unleash his full strength and kill the other party as soon as possible.
Just as his weapon was about to be condensed, a white shadow suddenly appeared behind him.
There was no warning at all. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air. The moment it appeared, it was holding a long black spear and directly stabbing at the subordinate's back.
Let alone him, no one else could react in time. They could only watch as the long spear pierced through the subordinate's back. Then, with a slap from the owner of the long spear, the subordinate was directly thrown from the air to the ground, smashing a human-shaped hole in the ground.
The guards and monster spirits who were fighting a little further away were all sent flying by the aftermath of the other party's fall. In an instant, a large area was emptied out.
"So this is your reinforcements. They are really good at enduring."
Master Jin looked at the white light around Xu Ling. Even his face could not be seen clearly. Only the long spear and the golden shield in his hand were very eye-catching. He could not help but withdraw from the battle and say this.
He had already locked onto the other party to prevent them from continuing to kill him. Meanwhile, Commander Mi continued to fight with Elder Gu at the side.
Just as he finished speaking, a figure flew up from the ground and landed beside him. It was a subordinate with an even uglier expression.
"Sorry, I was ambushed by the other party." The subordinate felt the injuries on his body and said with some regret.
Although the other party's attack had severely injured him, his weakness was not there. After swallowing a specially prepared soul medicine, he quickly recovered. However, he could only use 70% of his strength at most.
"Let alone you, if the other party suddenly appeared behind me, I might not be able to react in time." Master Jin comforted his subordinate and looked at Xu Ling.
However, the layer of hazy white light not only blocked his vision, but also concealed the other party's aura. If he was not standing in front of him, he would really think that there was nothing there.
"But since the other party has come out, there is no need to be polite. You and I will kill the other party together." Master Jin looked at Commander Mi and Elder Gu, who were fighting back and forth very fiercely. It seemed that they were evenly matched. At least, the battle would not end in a short time.
Above his long spear, layers of fine black flame shadows were burning. He was going to get serious.
"Ah!"
But at this moment, just as he was about to go up, he suddenly heard Commander Mi's scream. He immediately turned his head to look.
He found that Commander Mi's body was falling to the ground like his previous subordinate. His wrist was bent, and in his original position, a young man with a smile on his face was looking at him.
