Chapter 774: Xiao Yan Saves Yao Chen (Part 4)

"Good."

Upon hearing the former's command, the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerables immediately nodded in response.

And as they responded, the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerables' figures suddenly shot out, flying swiftly toward other directions.

"Not good, those guys from the Soul Hall definitely have some scheme; quickly stop them!"

Seeing this, Wind Venerable, although he didn't know what those three Heavenly Venerables intended to do, his intuition told him it certainly wouldn't be anything good; thus, when the Seventh Heavenly Venerable's voice rang out, he also hurriedly shouted loudly at the people beside him.

Before his words even finished, he immediately stirred his Battle Qi within, his figure extremely quickly leaving the spot.

And the others, without needing his reminder, also rushed out one after another.

However, although their reaction was extremely quick, before the three Soul Hall Heavenly Venerables who had prepared in advance, they were still far behind.

"Myriad Souls Devouring Spirit Formation!"

Just as Wind Venerable was about to rush before the Ninth Heavenly Venerable, a cold shout suddenly burst from the mouths of the three.

As the shout rang out, an eerie black mist that covered the sky and earth violently surged out from within the three persons, then quickly spread.

Within that unusually thick black mist, extreme yin-cold permeated.

Faintly, there were also extremely sharp, miserable cries continuously emanating from the black mist

And as that eerie black mist spread, Wind Venerable suddenly felt that his Battle Qi with the surrounding heaven and earth was directly cut off.

"Damn it, we need to quickly break these three guys' formation, or else we'll eventually be trapped to death here!"

Sensing the loss of connection between his Battle Qi and the surrounding heaven and earth, Wind Venerable hastily turned his head and shouted at the eight Battle Venerables beside him.

As for the other few Battle Venerables, upon hearing Wind Venerable's shout, they also nodded in unison.

These people, having cultivated to this level, have unknown how many battles they've endured.

Knowing that, after losing the connection with the surrounding heaven and earth's Battle Qi, if they cannot promptly break the restriction, the longer they fight, the weaker they will become.

In the end, their group would truly become lambs awaiting slaughter.

Thinking of that dreadful outcome, the nine of them also didn't hold back, each unleashing their strongest Battle Technique, blasting toward the black mist ahead.

"Boom! Boom!"

Accompanying the nearly simultaneous bombardment of the nine's Battle Qi upon the formation, the surrounding black mist at this moment appeared with twisted traces.

Faintly, actually a large number of minute cracks appeared.

Facing the frenzied counterattack of the nine Battle Venerable powerhouses, the three Soul Hall Heavenly Venerables' expressions also became extremely solemn.

"Clatter!"

In the next instant, the three's hand seals changed like lightning, and their Battle Qi poured into those yin-cold black mists as if money were no object, filling the numerous fine cracks that Wind Venerable and the others had punched out.

At the same time, amidst those thick blackness, a series of piercing iron-chain sounds suddenly rang out.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

The black mist undulated, and immediately hundreds of black chains as thick as a thigh shot out violently from within the black mist.

Judging by the power of those iron chains tearing through space, if some Battle Venerables of slightly weaker strength were to be pierced, they would likely die on the spot!

Therefore, upon seeing those dozens of black iron chains numbering over a hundred attack, Wind Venerable and the others also hastily moved away from the black mist's edge, retreating to their original positions.

However, because the Myriad Sword Venerable and the Iron Sword Venerable were relatively weaker,

when faced with those densely packed iron chains, they were immediately entangled within them, unable to escape.

"Careful!"

And the other Battle Venerables beside him, seeing this, quickly reached out to help, pulling them back and saving their lives.

As for those iron chains that shot out like black giant pythons covering the sky and earth, they did not continue to chase Wind Venerable and the others; instead, they intertwined with each other beside the thick black mist.

Finally, those numerous iron chains turned into a giant net, trapping the nine persons inside the formation!

"Damn it, I never expected these people from the Soul Hall to have actually prepared a formation here in advance, waiting for our arrival."

Gazing at the surrounding thick iron chains that continually flew about and tangled, Wind Venerable instantly cursed inwardly.

At this moment, he only then realized that he and his companions had indeed been somewhat careless.

But seeing.

"Wind Venerable, what should we do now?"

Gazing at the surrounding thick iron chains emanating yin-cold intent, a six-star Battle Venerable ran to Wind Venerable's side, his expression somewhat panicked as he asked.

As for the other few Battle Venerables, they also came running one after another, awaiting his answer.

Although they had experienced hundreds of battles, when facing this situation, they were also willing but powerless.

Upon hearing that, Wind Venerable's gaze swiftly swept over the three Heavenly Venerables around him.

Immediately after, he said to the others: "Don't worry, we can still hold on for a while; as long as we wait for Xiao Yan to rescue Yao Chen, then with inside-outside cooperation, we'll quickly be able to break their formation."

Although he himself had little confidence in how long they could hold out, nor when Xiao Yan would return.

But Wind Venerable understood that now he could only say this, in order to as much as possible prevent the others from, out of fear, giving up resistance or even surrendering.

After all, by holding fast, they still had a certain hope.

And if they lost confidence, that troop might directly scatter.

By then, even if he wanted to persist until Xiao Yan's return, he might not be able to do so.

"Right, Wind Venerable makes sense; for Battle Venerables, a round trip to this great hall is merely an instant. As long as we persist for a period, waiting for Xiao Yan's return, then with inside-outside cooperation, we will surely be able to smash these evil things."

Upon hearing that, the other Battle Venerables all voiced their agreement.

In their words, there was also no lack of meaning to bolster their own courage.

"Hehe, give up now; Xiao Yan himself is hard-pressed to protect himself, how could he possibly come rescue you."

Wind Venerable and the others' thoughts, the Seventh Heavenly Venerable saw through at a glance, then followed with an evil laugh.

As for the person personally named by the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, how could they possibly overlook him?

If it weren't for the fact that he currently isn't free to leave, he would definitely go check it out.

When Xiao Yan sees the moment of hope to rescue his teacher, and then is fiercely crushed by their Soul Hall, what expression will he show?

Hmph, you're only trying to undermine our confidence so we'll give up resisting; old man, I won't fall for your trick!

Upon hearing the Seven Heavens Venerable's words, the Wind Venerable immediately gave a cold snort, his expression full of contempt.

Although he secretly felt that the Soul Hall might really have sent people to surround Xiao Yan.

But in this situation, he definitely cannot show a panicked expression.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

As for the others, although their hearts also felt somewhat heavy.

But in this, they all wore an expression of disbelief, looking at that Seven Heavens Venerable.
