The cultivation of the Immortal Essence Guardians wasn't low, but because they didn't have intelligence, their behavior was rigid, so the strength they could display didn't match their cultivation.
Their advantage was that they moved in small groups. The Spirit Binding Chains was a technique that almost every Immortal Essence Guardian was proficient in. As long as the enemy was bound by one of the Spirit Binding Chains, the other Spirit Binding Chains would follow. The cultivators of Lin San basically didn't have a good time when they encountered them.
As the vice guardian of the Wind Flower Courtyard, Chu Qing's strength was naturally not to be underestimated. She rushed to the front of the group of Immortal Essence Guardians, and the two short swords in her hands turned into a sword screen that enveloped one of the Immortal Essence Guardians. In just three breaths of time, the Immortal Essence Guardian's spiritual body was destroyed.
However, she also had a few more wounds on her body. When she killed the Immortal Essence Guardian, the other Immortal Essence Guardians didn't stay idle, and they all attacked her with their spiritual weapons.
After killing one of the Immortal Essence Guardians, Chu Qing immediately retreated and shouted, "Qiao Yun!"
The fat woman who was bound by the Spirit Binding Shackles immediately roared. She was originally bound by four Spirit Binding Shackles, but after Chu Qing killed an Immortal Origin Guard, there were only three Spirit Binding Shackles left on her body. As she roared, her already plump body swelled up again. Her Qi and blood surged, and she broke free of the remaining Spirit Binding Shackles.
"Coming!" The fat woman called Qiao Yun was obviously very angry. She took a step forward and charged in Chu Qing's direction.
Just as her mountain-like body was about to crash into Chu Qing, Chu Qing leaped high into the air as if she had eyes on the back of her head. She stepped on the fat woman's shoulder and lightly floated up. The four pursuing Immortal Essence Guardians weren't so lucky. They were knocked off their feet by Qiao Yun, and the spiritual light on their bodies flashed chaotically.
"I'll stop them!" Although Qiao Yun was fighting one against four, she wasn't afraid at all. As a body cultivator, her attack methods might not be as varied as those of other sects, but her life-saving methods were incomparable to those of other sects. Therefore, even if she was fighting one against four, she wouldn't have to worry about her life for a short time.
As she spoke, her meaty palm slapped toward a charging Immortal Essence Guardian. With a bang, the Immortal Essence Guardian was directly sent flying, and the spiritual light on its body dimmed a lot.
"Be careful!" Chu Qing warned before turning around and charging towards Lu Ye.
They didn't come here to start a conflict with the Immortal Elemental Defenders. In the Immortal Elemental City, the Immortal Elemental Defenders couldn't be killed. Moreover, killing the Immortal Elemental Defenders wouldn't bring any benefits. Their goal was to kill Lu Ye and avenge the death of Chuxue.
Therefore, they didn't need to get entangled with the Immortal Essence Defenders. They just needed to kill Lu Ye and leave.
Chu Qing stomped her feet on the ground and rushed forward. However, the scene that entered her eyes made her pupils shrink. That was because the woman with the long saber who was fighting with Lu Ye was suddenly sent flying. She spat out a mouthful of blood in midair.
Chuqing hurriedly sheathed her sabers and pounced forward to hug the woman with the saber. The two of them rolled on the ground and hurriedly got up.
"Wah …" The woman with the long saber held the saber with both hands and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Ruoyan!" Chuqing called out softly.
"I won't die!" Ruoyan coughed lightly as she raised her saber and looked forward vigilantly. In front of her, Lu Ye's long saber was pointed diagonally to the ground, blood dripping from it as he walked forward step by step.
His eyes were slightly drooping, and the hair on his forehead cast a shadow over his face, making it impossible to see his expression. Even so, with just an Eighth Order cultivation, he brought great pressure to the two Ninth Order Realm masters.
"Senior Sister, be careful, there's something wrong with this guy," Ruoyan warned. Recalling the short confrontation with Lu Ye just now, she really couldn't figure out how she had been defeated so quickly.
She had thought that as a Ninth Order Realm cultivator, she wouldn't be able to easily crush an Eighth Order cultivator, but at least she would have no problem suppressing her opponent, but when they really fought, she was shocked to discover that this Eighth Order cultivator's methods were extremely strange and impossible to guard against.
He seemed to have an ability that allowed him to instantly make her feel as if she was carrying a heavy burden. At that moment, the pressure that fell from the sky almost made her unable to react. If it weren't for her keen intuition, she wouldn't have just been injured, she would have been killed.
Chu Qing's expression became dignified.
Looking at the young man walking towards her step by step, she once again recalled the scene at the top of the golden light dome. On that blood-filled battlefield, this young man in front of her had fought forty-three matches in a row with a Fifth Order cultivation. Except for the first Fifth Order cultivator, the rest were all Sixth Order cultivators, but without exception, all of them had been defeated by him. No less than twenty or thirty people had been killed by him alone.
That experience made Chu Qing understand that there really were immeasurable people in this world. Killing enemies above their realm was a common occurrence for them, so even though Lu Ye was only an Eighth Order cultivator in the mountain valley, Chu Qing didn't underestimate him in the slightest.
When this guy was in the Fifth Order, he could kill so many Sixth Order cultivators. Now that he was an Eighth Order cultivator, even Ninth Order cultivators might not be his opponent.
That was why she had gathered more than twenty people from her Sect to take action together, thinking that it would be foolproof, but she had never expected that the Immortal Yuan Defenders would appear at this critical moment to cause trouble, making her original plan useless in an instant.
Even Qiao Yun was entangled by several Immortal Yuan Defenders at this moment.
But now that things had come to this, she could only give it a try. Although Ruo Yan was injured, her injuries weren't serious. If the two of them worked together, they wouldn't be afraid of an Eighth Order cultivator.
"Let's go!" Chu Qing shouted and took the lead to rush out. The saber-wielding woman called Ruo Yan followed suit, her petite figure perfectly hiding behind Chu Qing. They had cultivated together, so they already had a tacit understanding of how to cooperate to kill enemies. Most of the time, they didn't even need to communicate with words.
At the same time, Lu Ye also took a step forward, quickly closing the distance between them.
The Mountain Coiling Saber was covered in a fiery red glow, turning into an arc as it slashed down fiercely. Chu Qing met it with a short sword in her hand. She had planned to use her short sword to block the opponent's Spirit Artifact, then use her other short sword to attack.
However, the moment the two Spirit Artifacts collided, she realized that she was a little naive. The overwhelming power coming from the opponent's Spirit Artifact almost caused her short sword to fly out of her hand.
Chu Qing's pupils shrank. Was this the power of an Eighth Order Weapon Cultivator? Even Qiao Yun's strength was only so-so.
Sensing that something was wrong, she immediately raised her other short sword to block the slash coming down from above. If she hadn't done so, she wouldn't have been able to block it at all.
Just as she blocked this blow, the opponent's second slash had already descended. Chu Qing reacted in a panic, but the opponent's third slash had already arrived, almost piercing Chu Qing's chest …
It was too fast!
Although she had been thinking about killing Lu Ye to avenge her sister for the past few days, it was only after she really fought him that she realized just how terrifying this young man was. Not only was his blade heavy, but his speed was also extremely fast, making it difficult for her to keep up with his attacks.
With such saber skills, she couldn't block the fourth slash!
Sure enough, when Lu Ye's fourth slash came down on her white neck, Chu Qing completely lost the chance to resist.
Fortunately, she wasn't alone. At this critical moment, a saber suddenly stabbed out from the side of her neck, piercing the Mountain Coiling Saber.
It was Ruo Yan, who had been hiding behind her, who had made a move.
Sparks flew as the saber that would have cut Chu Qing's body was blocked. The saber flashed with light as it pushed back against the Mountain Coiling Saber, almost reaching Lu Ye's face.
Lu Ye tilted his saber to the side, dispersing the power of the attack. At the same time, he tilted his head, allowing the saber to graze his ear, cutting off a few strands of hair.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Qing nimbly spun the short sword in her left hand, turning it into a dagger and stabbing it towards Lu Ye's chest.
However, not far away, a ferocious fluctuation of Spirit Energy suddenly appeared. Chu Qing didn't even think about it and slashed down with her sword, blocking the incoming attack.
Following the direction of the origin of the attack, she saw a delicate girl standing not far behind Lu Ye. She was the one who had cast the attack.
No one had noticed when she had appeared.
The girl prepared another attack in front of her, and at the same time, Lu Ye slashed out with his saber.
The two from the Wind Flower Courtyard were working together, and Lu Ye wasn't fighting alone. Yiyi had been looking for an opportunity, but unfortunately, neither Chu Qing nor Ruo Yan had revealed too big of an opening. Helpless, she could only take action.
This kind of fight was a bit dangerous for Yiyi. Fortunately, she was a spell cultivator, so she only needed to stand at a distance and cast her spell.
Chu Qing and Ruo Yan's figures intertwined. The two women's Spirit Tools, one long and one short, worked together seamlessly. Everything within three meters was covered by their attacks.
In the past, when the two of them worked together like this, they weren't at a disadvantage when facing four Grand Sky Alliance cultivators, and even managed to kill one of them.
However, at this moment, their cooperation was still perfect, but they didn't have the feeling of being in control of the battle like before, because the rhythm of the battle was completely in the hands of the enemy.
The speed at which the other party attacked with his saber was ridiculously fast. With the help of the spell cultivator, he wasn't at a disadvantage when fighting one against two. The two of them had to use all of their strength to block the other party's attack.
They could only block it, but it was impossible for them to counterattack!
Their figures kept retreating, and their faces gradually turned pale. In such a dangerous confrontation at such a close distance, there was a risk of sudden death at any time.
Moreover, at some point in time, clouds of fog began to gather around them. As time passed, the clouds of fog became thicker and thicker, as if something would rush out at any time.
Both sides of the battle realized that the situation was not good, and Lu Ye's attacks became more and more ruthless.
"Qiao Yun!" Chu Qing couldn't help but shout when she saw that she was about to be unable to block Lu Ye's attack.
"Coming!" Along with the white fat woman's response, a rumbling sound was heard. The white fat woman forcibly endured the attacks of several Immortal Essence Defenders and rushed to the front of Lu Ye. She slapped a fat palm toward Lu Ye's head.
In Chu Qing's original plan, Qiao Yun only needed to entangle the few Immortal Essence Defenders. With her strength as a Body Cultivator, she was completely capable of doing this. She could cooperate with Ruo Yan to kill Lu Ye as quickly as possible. As long as Lu Ye was killed, the remaining Immortal Essence Defenders wouldn't be a problem.
However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Chu Qing had overestimated Lu Ye as much as possible, but when they really fought, she realized that she was short-sighted.
If she didn't ask for help, either she or Ruo Yan would die.
