Chapter 416: A Slight Block in the Heart

One Sword Heaven-Outside Slash!

Twofold Life-Death Blade!

Two sword blades were simultaneously unleashed, attacking the Dragon Maiden.

The Dragon Maiden clasped her claws together, and in an instant tore apart their two sword techniques.

At the same time, Yu Jing's figure flashed, appearing above the Dragon Maiden's head; she raised her heavy sword with both hands and chopped down vertically at the Dragon Maiden.

Boom—

The immense shockwave blasted outward instantly, and immediately Yu Jing was blown away, falling to the ground, retreating several steps before stabilizing her figure.

'Heavenly March Spear!' Cang Li brandished his spear!

Yuan Yao and Xie Yan continued their fierce assault toward the Dragon Maiden, their swordplay fierce, their moves unleashed like a sudden storm, their coordination nearly perfect.

They drove the Dragon Maiden backward without cease.

At that moment, Feng Xuanji, Bian Chen, Bai Zhouxing, and Yan Yunlan exchanged glances, then drew their swords and joined the battle.

Now, the eight of them surrounded and attacked the Dragon Maiden together.

The Dragon Maiden's gaze swept coldly over the eight, she let out a scornful chuckle, raised her hand, and in an instant a massive domain totem rose around them.

Just as everyone sensed the impending danger, a green figure flashed toward a certain direction, seen gripping the five-colored longsword with both hands, she plunged it fiercely into the eye of the domain totem!

Boom—

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, and the domain totem instantly collapsed.

The Dragon Maiden's gray-white pupils revealed an incredulous expression, she thought to herself: How could this be?!

Just then, Xie Yan and the others swiftly swung their swords to slash at the Dragon Maiden.

Numerous sword and lightning gleams flashed, erupting in a force so powerful it was nearly terrifying; the surrounding ruined buildings burst apart, exploding with the airflow.

Rumble—

The sound here nearly shook the heavens.

Jiang Xiao, watching from the side, also felt his heart tremble slightly at the sight.

The eight fought the Dragon Maiden fiercely, their movements almost impossible to follow, clashing from midair to the ground and back up again.

Bang!

A loud boom rang out, and Bai Zhouxing was seen being hammered down to the ground by the Dragon Maiden.

The ground instantly formed a deep pit.

And Bai Zhouxing vomited blood nonstop; due to the intense pain he couldn't get up for a moment, at which time countless undead beasts surged from the deep pit, lunging to bite him!

'Zhouxing!' Feng Xuanji's expression shifted slightly; she flashed into the pit, swung her sword to slay those undead beasts, then bent down and grabbed Bai Zhouxing, pulling him upward.

Feng Xuanji hadn't yet steadied herself on the ground when she suddenly felt a dangerous, cold aura rapidly approaching; she wanted to draw her sword but it was already too late.

The Dragon Maiden's claw lunged at Feng Xuanji's head, but at the critical moment a five-colored longsword lodged in the gap of her claw, blocking her attack.

And Xie Yan and the others rushed over, once again engaging the Dragon Maiden in melee.

Feng Xuanji looked at Yuan Yao's figure and tightly gripped her Phoenix Feather Sword.

She had Bai Zhouxing wait aside, then she lightly tapped her toes and rejoined the battle.

After the battle had lasted a quarter hour, Xie Yan sliced off the Dragon Maiden's horn with a single sword strike, whereupon the Dragon Maiden let out a hysterical roar.

Ahhh...

The Dragon Maiden's pupils instantly contracted to a point; she launched a fierce assault toward Xie Yan, also releasing the pressure of her sixth-stage peak, causing those present to feel a tightness in their chests and their movements to become sluggish.

With a swipe of her claw, the Dragon Maiden flung Xie Yan to the ground.

She glared at Xie Yan, furious beyond restraint, and slammed her palm down with all her might at his position!

Zixu!

Junior Brother!

At the critical moment, Xie Yan leapt up, flickered, and dodged this strike!

But the Dragon Maiden seemed to have anticipated it, flickered to appear behind Xie Yan, and slammed her palm down hard!

'Labyrinth Transposition Array, open!' a resonant voice from a girl rang out.

In an instant, light of the formation totem appeared across the ground; next, Xie Yan was teleported to another position, while the Dragon Maiden was teleported to yet another.

Boom—

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, and the Dragon Maiden's palm strike slammed heavily onto the undead beasts.

An eerie, sharp howl sounded for an instant, and they completely dissipated.

Seeing this, the Dragon Maiden abruptly turned her head to stare at Yuan Yao's direction.

Just as she was about to act, everyone attacked her direction.

Myriad Myriad Laws, Seven Stars Heavenly Phoenix!

Enter my hell, One Sword Heaven-Outside Slash!

Furious Thunder Technique, Wind Spear!

Thirteenfold Shadow Slash!

Phoenix Command Sword, Sever Spring Mountain!

Heaven's Fury Order, Slash!

Peerless Grand Jupiter, Eight-Faced Blades!

Song in the Clouds, Heavenly Thorn!

Boom boom boom—

The Dragon Maiden blocked their assault with her own strength, but she is now at a disadvantage!

Just as she was attacked from front and back——

A clear, cold female voice transmitted into her sea of consciousness, "Enter my nightmare, see your nightmare!"

Buzz!

Her head transmitted a violent buzzing sound, followed by a wave of dizziness and vertigo, as well as a stabbing pain from another spiritual force forcibly invading her sea of consciousness.

The Dragon Maiden suddenly felt a strong sense of danger; after she broke free from Yuan Yao's spiritual power control, she saw the white-clad youth before her swinging a blade at her neck.

She wanted to raise her palm to block.

With a "splitch" sound, her right hand was severed by Yu Jing's heavy sword.

Black blood spattered.

Following that, her head rolled to the ground.

Yuan Yao swiftly flashed forward, gripping the Phantom Spirit Sword with both hands, and thrust it into the Dragon Maiden's head.

In an instant, the sword blade burst into flames, igniting the Dragon Maiden's head.

The Dragon Maiden let out a piercing, miserable scream.

Meanwhile, her body was sliced into countless pieces by Xie Yan raising his sword.

Immediately, those countless fragments turned into strands of black shadow, attempting to flee swiftly underground.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao immediately unleashed the Great Sun Blazing Heaven Mirror.

True fire instantly surged like a torrent toward those black shadows.

"Wang..." the head being burned by the flames painfully opened its mouth, unwillingly calling out.

As that sound faded, suddenly the entire ruined city's spatial air flow stilled, followed by an overwhelmingly powerful pressure.

Everyone felt as if the sky were about to collapse, pressing down so hard they could barely breathe!

Yuan Yao and the others sensed something, looked toward a certain direction, and saw a black vortex airflow approaching from afar.

It carried a strong suction.

It seemed to want to suck them in.

At this moment, the Dragon Maiden's head was also sucked into the black vortex.

"Not good!" Yuan Yao's face slightly changed; she immediately looked toward the direction of her third senior brother.

Meanwhile, Xie Yan, at this moment, looked toward Yuan Yao.

Xie Yan discovered that she actually cared more about her senior brother Cang Li, feeling a slight blockage in his chest; he coldly told Bian Chen and the others, "We can't let it suck us in—set up a defensive formation!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Chen and the others immediately formed hand seals and activated the formation!

In an instant, a defensive formation enveloped this area.
