As the dark shadow appeared, terror flashed in the eyes of the disciples from both factions.
The next breath, an incomparably powerful aura swept out from this behemoth.
Amidst the surging water, the massive python thrashed its body and charged ferociously towards the disciples of both factions, its speed astonishing and stirring up gusts of howling wind!
"Scatter!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Wu shouted loudly, and with a wave of his hand, the long sword that had been sent flying earlier flew back into his palm.
He immediately let out a powerful roar, his profound mana surging out, pouring entirely into the long sword in his hand. Then, he slashed it fiercely forward!
"Slash!"
However, just as the middle-aged man surnamed Wu opened his mouth, someone beat him to it with a furious shout.
A bright ray of light forcibly intruded into his peripheral vision and then appeared before him.
Ji Yuan spread his legs, sinking his body, and twisted his waist as he suddenly unleashed his power, swinging the long sword with a mighty horizontal slash before him!
Vast sword intent surged out, the sky above suddenly felt heavier, and an immense aura came from all directions, pressing down on the middle-aged man surnamed Wu before him.
Time seemed to freeze, then abruptly accelerated countless times. The two long swords collided in an instant, white light and green sun tangling together.
At this moment, the middle-aged man surnamed Wu felt a colossal force transmit through. This young man before him, though appearing to have only early-stage Dianling realm cultivation, possessed mana purity and depth that was in no way inferior to his own late-stage Dianling realm cultivation!
Not to mention that this small physique was capable of unleashing strength comparable to the peak of the Roufu realm!
Clang!!!
The delayed metallic clang arose, and the collision of mana between them immediately stirred up waves of violent fluctuations, sending powerful gusts of wind whistling in all directions!
Within a radius of several zhang, disciples of both factions retreated, and if they were to forcibly withstand the howling wind, they would likely suffer significant injuries.
However, just as they regained their footing and were about to attack the young man together, a blur of movement suddenly broke through the air.
Several disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect felt a blur flash before their eyes, and then a shadow suddenly enveloped them. A gust of wind roared, nearly sweeping them away.
Before they could even clearly see what the shadow was, a colossal force surged through their bodies, accompanied by a crackling sound that echoed in everyone's hearts.
Bang bang bang!!!!!
Five disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect were sent flying backward, crashing through several large trees. By the time they landed, they were already covered in blood, their limbs twisted into unnatural shapes.
Except for two young men in the middle stage of Dianling realm, who still had a breath left, the other three had already perished, their chests no longer showing any signs of rising and falling.
A giant python reared up, its eyes flashing with blue light. Its massive black body rippled with dense water currents.
Its gaze fell, and its demonic energy surged out, its mid-stage Tier 2 power fully unleashed!
"Tier 2 demonic beast!"
"Damn it! It's actually a Tier 2 demonic beast!"
"Senior Brother, retreat quickly!"
Several disciples of the Jingxin Hall couldn't help but cry out in alarm. Seeing the behemoth looking at their senior brother, none dared to step forward. As chilling fear grew wildly in their hearts, they instinctively retreated backward bit by bit.
When the middle-aged man of Jingxin Hall heard the startled cries of his junior brothers behind him, and felt the incomparably powerful and ferocious aura, he immediately diverted a portion of his attention to quickly turn and look.
Then, he saw a colossal creature standing upright, looking at him with cold eyes.
Although his own realm was slightly higher than the giant python's, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a chill and a sense of dread.
Without hesitation, he unleashed a surge of mana, not even sparing the self-destruction of over a dozen paper cranes, using absolute strength to push back Li Buwei, who was confronting him.
Then, the middle-aged man completely turned around, his sleeve flicking as more paper cranes flew out.
Dozens of paper cranes fluttered around him, yet the middle-aged man felt no relief. He repeatedly formed hand seals, and his mana surged out without regard for consumption. In just a few breaths, the paper cranes began to emit dazzling light.
"For you to complete this spell is the greatest mistake of your life. Remember to be reborn as a human in your next life, so you won't die stupidly by your own hand!"
Suppressing the fear in his heart, the middle-aged man couldn't help but speak.
For some reason, even though his spell was completed, the chill on his body did not diminish in the slightest. Under the gaze of that behemoth, he always felt as if he were shrouded in death.
The middle-aged man shook his head violently. Now that the spell was complete, he had no reason to lose!
However, just as he was about to unleash the spell and control the dozens of paper cranes to tear the giant python before him to shreds, the chill in his heart exploded, and his entire body felt as if it had plunged into the deepest, most extreme cold of the nine netherworlds!
At this moment, in his vision, the giant python before him actually retreated a considerable distance. In its blue-glowing eyes, a hint of mockery could be seen.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man seemed to recall something, and stiffly turned his head to look.
As his gaze shifted, various spiritual lights of different spells fell like a torrential downpour...
"No!!!!!"
He couldn't help but let out a cry of alarm. Facing imminent death, he unleashed all the mana in his body without any reservation!
The dozens of paper cranes had no time to fly out and could only gather around him at the fastest speed, protecting his body within.
The next moment, over a dozen spells descended, engulfing the middle-aged man and the dozens of paper cranes together.
"Die!"
Li Buwei roared, unleashing wave after wave of mana. A crimson furnace flew out, transforming into a stream of light and plunging into the dissipating spells.
Beside him, the middle-aged mountain Taoist also vibrated with mana, controlling a long staff that shot into the sky. Then, as if carrying immense weight, it smashed down fiercely!
Boom!!!!!
Instantly, the entire ground shook violently, and waves of ferocious mana fluctuations raged outwards!
"Trying to escape?"
Just then, a sharp reprimand suddenly rang out: "Delusional!"
Ji Yuan's sword swept away the encroaching mana fluctuations, looking at the middle-aged man surnamed Wu who was retreating several zhang by leveraging the force. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a stream of light.
His long sword fell, planted into the earth beside his feet. He rapidly formed hand seals, and the mana in his body surged out, pouring entirely into the small, inch-long pagoda that was flying.
Amidst the howling wind, the Xuan Tian Shi Ling Pagoda spun rapidly, then grew several times in size, reaching a height of seven zhang. Emitting boundless light, it suddenly plummeted towards the ground!
