Chapter 364

At a critical moment, Yuan Yao suddenly turned around and fiercely raised her hand, slapping a palm toward Nie Bai.

Nie Bai's expression turned shocked; he simply didn't have time to block, and was blown back several steps by Yuan Yao, feeling a dull pain in his chest.

"Why did you sneak attack me, Daoist Nie?" Yuan Yao snorted coldly.

"Yuan Yao." Nie Bai came to his senses, his expression already calm again, he stared intently at the girl before him, "I want the Heavenly Pride Token."

Yuan Yao smiled, "You want the Heavenly Pride Token? What do you intend to offer in exchange? Or do you plan to take it by force?"

Nie Bai caught the key point, he asked somewhat unexpectedly, "What do you want?"

Yuan Yao said, "Twenty-five thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Upon hearing this, Nie Bai's face grew rather complex.

Even if the Nie family poured out all their spirit stones, they still couldn't gather twenty-five thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

"I don't have them." Nie Bai's handsome visage showed a hint of awkwardness, yet his tone was very frank.

Yuan Yao gave a slight smile, "If you don't have them, I can't give you the Heavenly Pride Token."

"Exactly." Cang Li echoed.

"Then I'll have to take it by force." Nie Bai's eyes gradually turned cold; he manifested a long sword in his hand and directly flashed toward Yuan Yao to attack.

Clang!

The two swords clashed!

The impact of the sword qi exploded instantly.

"If you are willing to give me one Heavenly Pride Token, I will join you in dealing with the Tianyi Sect and Bian Chen; otherwise..." Nie Bai snorted coldly, "Ying Wuji alone absolutely cannot hold out! By then, you will not only suffer serious injuries, but also end up with nothing, like trying to fetch water with a bamboo basket."

Yuan Yao replied with a cold face, "Thank you for your concern, but I have no intention of giving you the Heavenly Pride Token."

Having said that, she swung a sword at Nie Bai.

At the same time, Cang Li swung his spear at Nie Bai!

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the wind howled wildly, and the exceedingly sharp spear tip was entwined with streaks of purple lightning, like a ferocious lightning dragon baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Nie Bai.

Nie Bai's expression shifted slightly; he flickered his body, swiftly raising his sharp sword horizontally before his chest, intending to block the strike.

And just as Cang Li was attacking him.

Yuan Yao had already summoned the Golden Egg, the Little Fox, and Yuan Batian.

After transforming, Yuan Batian could not straighten his body, because the passage's height was only about 2.5 meters.

Therefore, Yuan Batian was utterly unable to extend his movements.

Yuan Yao could only recall Yuan Batian.

"Go!"

At her command, the Golden Egg and the Little Fox immediately surged toward Nie Bai to attack.

The Little Fox's movement speed was extremely fast, almost like lightning.

It had only broken through to second-rank spirit beast a couple of days ago, greatly increasing its explosive power.

The Golden Egg itself is quite strong, but lacking hands and feet, it can only attack Nie Bai by ramming.

"Third Senior Brother, this is left to you."

Yuan Yao left that sentence, then swiftly flashed toward the battlefield where Ying Wuji, the Second Elder, the Seventh Elder, and Bian Chen were fighting.

"Good!" Cang Li replied.

Nie Bai had intended to chase after Yuan Yao, but a golden huge egg came smashing at him; he raised his sword to block, yet the impact force was like a hammer of ten thousand catties, shaking him so he had to retreat several steps.

The next moment, he showed a look of terror.

He saw the golden huge egg suddenly accelerate, smashing wildly toward him!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Its speed was as fast as lightning, yet its power was terrifying enough to make one's heart tremble.

He blocked with his sword.

His tiger's mouth and both arms went numb from the shock, with a faint but intense tearing pain.

Nie Bai swung his sword to slash the Golden Egg, but it dodged.

At the same time, Cang Li swept his spear over!

"Horizontal Lightning Technique!"

Nie Bai swiftly swung a sword to counter it, and at that moment he sensed a dangerous aura coming from behind.

He immediately turned to block, and a series of 'clang clang clang' sounds rang out—that was a strangely appearing heterochromatic little fox lunging at him with its sharp claws, seemingly aiming to slash his carotid artery.

Nie Bai frowned and swung his sword in a slash!

The little fox was instantly knocked flying, slamming hard into the wall with a miserable cry, its body bearing sword marks.

Seeing this, the Golden Egg flew into a rage.

It launched a violent strike toward Nie Bai, giving him no chance to react.

Cang Li's expression shifted slightly; he quickly flashed over and fed the little fox a pill.

At the same time, Yuan Yao forcefully inserted herself into the four-person battle.

The instant Bian Chen saw Yuan Yao appear, for some reason his heart felt a little guilty.

"Miss Yuan..."

Before his words finished, Yuan Yao swung a sword at Bian Chen.

Bian Chen's expression shifted slightly.

After blocking her attack, he lifted his gaze and saw the girl's eyes, icy to the extreme.

Bian Chen's heart jolted.

"Youngest Senior Brother!" Yuan Yao, upon seeing the Seventh Elder's sword strike wound her own youngest senior brother, her expression flickered with surprise.

Ying Wuji's face turned pale; he lowered his eyes and glanced at the long wound on his arm, lightly saying, "I'm fine."

Yuan Yao naturally also saw the multiple sword wounds on Youngest Senior Brother's body.

She felt increasingly heartbroken, and at the same time, anger welled up.

She slowly gripped the sword hilt, and as her wrist turned slightly, the surging sword qi burst forth instantly, accompanied by an extremely powerful spiritual pressure.

She flashed her figure, almost simultaneously with Ying Wuji charging toward Second Elder, Seventh Elder, and Bian Chen.

"Thousand Mountains Myriad Laws—"

"Sword Suppresses Myriad Phenomena!"

The two simultaneously executed the same sword technique; in an instant, the passage was filled with that extreme sense of oppression, and lime dust from the walls rolled down.

Meanwhile, the disciples of Heaven One Sect saw this, their faces changed in shock, and they kept retreating.

Second Elder was sent flying, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seventh Elder and Bian Chen could still withstand this attack.

But then they seemed to sense something, and their expressions changed slightly.

A powerful spiritual power was advancing upon them with an unstoppable force, attempting to intrude into their sea of consciousness.

At the same time, Ying Wuji and Yuan Yao drew their swords in unison, with nearly every sword move overlapping.

Bian Chen and Seventh Elder, while dividing their attention to resist the spiritual power intrusion, also faced off against the two senior brother and sister.

Because the passage was not spacious enough, it severely affected their combat.

Lu Xiangxiang quickly helped the fallen Second Elder to his feet; at this moment, Second Elder's face was deathly pale, as if he had aged several years in an instant, and he kept coughing up blood.

"Cough cough..."

"Second Elder!" Lu Xiangxiang exclaimed worriedly upon seeing this.

Second Elder's breath was unsteady; he firmly gripped Lu Xiangxiang's arm and said in a deep voice, "Lu Xiang, I know the Immortal Venerable gave you a substitute talisman; at the critical moment, you must use it!"

Three Heavenly Pride Tokens, along with all the Yue Family's Dharma treasures, cultivation methods, and spirit stones, the Heaven One Sect is determined to obtain them!

More than five hundred years ago, the Yue Family was a prominent clan of the First Province, with deep foundations, naturally extraordinary. Moreover, the Yue Family was a Formation Law Family, having nearly collected all the formation manuals and cultivation methods of the cultivation world; such precious items must not fall into the hands of a small sect of the Ninth Province!

Moreover, the Yue family is a formation clan that has almost gathered all the formation manuals and techniques of the entire cultivation world; such a precious item must never fall into the hands of a small sect in the Ninth Province!
