Chapter 61 - 61: To the Rescue!
In the valley, the five were utterly exhausted. However, they did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Their all remained cautious, observing their surroundings warily.
Suddenly, a commotion arose from the forest as blades of bloody light came shooting out one after the other!
“Watch out! They’re here!”
Lu Lan hurriedly warned her fellow disciples. Instantly, all of them assumed their stances, preparing for any attacks.
The spiritual qi around Lu Lan fluctuated, and she brought out her magical artifacts in quick succession!
Along with her fellow disciples, she prepared for battle!
Along with the emergence of the bloody lights, disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect emerged one after another!
“So this is where you’re hiding?”
“The Divine Will Sect claims to be the top sect in the Heavenly Southern Region, so I was honestly not expecting to see its disciples in such a sorry state. ”
“Did you think that you could escape?”
The leader of the group of Heavenly Demon Sect disciples, who was at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, spoke with a cold voice.
When they heard him, Lu Lan and Chen Qingke’s faces turned solemn.
Although Chen Qingke had already reached the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm and was extremely talented, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s cultivation techniques were strange. Moreover, they had the advantage in numbers, and they even had a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator with them!
Their party could simply not compare.
“Qin Zhen, this is the territory of the Divine Will Sect! You won’t be able to escape either!”
Lu Lan glared at Qin Zhen as she shouted at him.
In fact, as a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator, Qin Zhen alone already had what it took to handle all five of them.
Not to mention, there were dozens of disciples in the middle and early stages of the foundation establishment realm together with him. They were no different from a mountain blocking their way.
“So what?”
“What do you think we are here for?”
“Lu Lan, let me give you a piece of advice. If you stick your head out again, I won’t show mercy!”
Qin Zhen’s face was ice cold as he looked at Lu Lan in displeasure.
It was apparent that he was familiar with Lu Lan.
He did not have any thoughts of killing Lu Lan.
As for the other disciples of the Divine Will Sect?
He would obviously not let them off.
“Don’t even think about it!”
“I’m a disciple of the Divine Will Sect, so naturally, I will protect my fellow disciples!”
Lu Lan placed herself in front of the others without any hesitation.
Looking at Lu Lan’s stubborn attitude, Qin Zhen’s lips curled upward and he sneered, “Is that so? You’re really stubborn!”
“However, do you even have a choice here?”
Qin Zhen snorted coldly. He had dozens of foundation establishment cultivators on his side, so what could they even do?
They were completely powerless to resist!
Qin Zhen suddenly raised his hand, and in an instant, the foundation establishment cultivators behind him all burst out! Streaks of bloody light and blood swords shot out!
A storm of blood descended!
A huge amount of spiritual qi descended upon the disciples of the Divine Will Sect like a storm without any order or leeway!
When the dozens of foundation establishment cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect activated their spells at the same time, streams of spiritual qi gathered and smashed toward Chen Qingke and the others!
Seeing so many attacks, Lu Lan was about to make a move when she realized that Qin Zhen had already set his eyes on her.
Lu Lan shouted, “Junior Sister Chen, you must hold on!”
At the same time, she dodged Qin Zhen’s attack before turning back around to confront him!
The two of them clashed numerous times in a short few moments!
Meanwhile, the situation on the other side was clearly much worse.
After launching their initial attack, the dozens of foundation establishment cultivators charged forward one by one!
They had launched an utterly reckless attack!
Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s strange cultivation techniques could not be ignored. Once Chen Qingke and the others were injured, the blood that flowed out from their wounds would become their enemies’ nourishment!
This caused them to quickly fall into a dire situation.
They were already at a disadvantage when it came to their numbers from the very start. And coupled with the fact that they had already been suffering from injuries as well, it was truly difficult to face off against the disciples from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Chen Qingke tried her best to block the attacks with her bronze cauldron, but she found herself powerless against the attacks.
In the end, the intensity of these attacks was not something that the few of them could block.
Boom!
Suddenly, the blood swords converged and rushed toward Chen Qingke!
Its power was terrifying!
A strong wind was swept together with the force of the sword!
Chen Qingke gritted her teeth and continued to muster her spiritual qi.
However, she was already exhausted. No matter how talented she was, she could not withstand so many attacks.
Boom!
Countless blood swords bombarded the bronze cauldron and instantly shattered it into pieces!
Chen Qingke was also affected by the impact, causing her to spit out blood and her face to turn pale!
Her body staggered as she continuously retreated!
However, before she could recover, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect had already charged forward!
Without the protection of the bronze cauldron, they were instantly surrounded by the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
For a moment, the area fell into utter chaos.
Chen Qingke still struggled to resist, but it was hopeless.
She gritted her teeth. Although her face was filled with determination, her eyes were gradually filled with despair!
Hm… It seems that senior brother and I might never see each other again.
Chen Qingke’s eyes were filled with regret.
She had not expected that a sect mission would actually force them into such a state.
Faced with the encirclement of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they were completely powerless to resist!
Blood swords shot swiftly toward her.
Chen Qingke closed her eyes in resignation.
She had used up all her spiritual qi to form the bronze cauldron. At this moment, she had completely exhausted all of her resources.
She really had nothing left in her!
“Girl, hold on!”
But then suddenly!
Just as Chen Qingke resigned herself to death, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Chen Qingke suddenly opened her eyes!
“Senior brother?”
She turned around and saw a silver-white lightning bolt approaching their location instantaneously!
Before Chen Qingke could get a proper look at who it was, a pair of fists came crashing down!
He killed the two Sky Demon Sect disciples who were right in front of Chen Qing on the spot!
Someone had come to help them.
It was Li Ming.
After finding out the location, Li Ming relied on the advantage of his divine soul to scour his surroundings.
Finally, he managed to arrive at the crucial moment!
After entering the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm, Li Ming put all his time into the Wind Lightning Steps. Now, his speed was already comparable to a golden core cultivator!
With the support of the Wind Lightning Steps, this punch was something that an early-stage rounaatlon estat)llsnment cultivator naa no way or DIOCK1ng.
These qi refinement and foundation establishment disciples had weak physical bodies!
Additionally, cultivators in the early stage of the foundation establishment realm were rarely ever equipped with defensive magical artifacts.
As a result, they had utterly no hope of withstanding Li Ming’s attack!
Li Ming’s appearance instantly drew everyone’s attention!
When Lu Lan saw Li Ming arrive, she was pleasantly surprised, but she also became worried for him.
“Junior Brother Li, you must find a way to bring them away!”
“I’ll hold them off here.”
Although Lu Lan knew that Li Ming had considerable strength, especially after the means he has displayed, the situation here was simply too dangerous. If Li Ming were to stay here, he could end up staying here forever!
It was better for them to just seize the opportunity to escape from this place!
It was only when more reinforcement arrived that they would have better chances of defeating these disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
“Do you guys think you can leave?!”
Qin Zhen looked at Li Ming, who had suddenly appeared, and rage could be seen in his eyes!
A mere intermediate-stage foundation establishment cultivator actually wanted to escape from his encirclement?
It was simply a fool’s dream!
Qin Zhen shouted angrily. He raised his hand and waved. Blood qi surged into the sky!
In an instant, the entire mountain forest was covered in a bloody mist!
All the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples disappeared into the blood mist, leaving only the several disciples of the Divine Will Sect gathered together and guarding their surroundings.
Lu Lan also hurriedly returned to the front of the team.
“Be careful, this is a late-stage foundation establishment magical art! Although it’s only a high-grade yellow-tier magical art, its power is no less one of the mystic tier!”
