Chapter 421: Everyone, flee!

The black-robed man sat firmly in the chair; with just a raise of his hand, he blocked everyone's attacks.

Boom—

A loud explosion sounded, the entire region trembled, sand and stones flew.

In the next instant, the black-robed man slowly rose to his feet and casually flicked his hand.

In an instant, a terrifying surge of spatial power blasted Yuan Yao and the others away; they were all injured, with trickles of blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.

"Your courage is commendable," the black-robed man Wei Yueze said, narrowing his eyes slightly and giving a scornful laugh.

Yuan Yao wiped the blood from her lips with a raised hand, then called out, "Tian Xue!"

A snow-white snow beast appeared again, instantly erupting with formidable beastly power to oppose the spatial force.

Boom!

Upon seeing Tian Xue, Wei Yueze raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly intrigued: "A sixth-rank late-stage peak spirit beast."

Such a powerful spirit beast would actually be contracted by a little girl at the late-stage peak of the Golden Core Realm...

What a waste of heavenly treasure.

At this moment, Yuan Yao keenly sensed that Wei Yueze seemed to want to strike at Tian Xue, and her face instantly darkened.

"Master, I'll go meet him!"

Tian Xue sent a mental message to Yuan Yao.

The next moment, Tian Xue shot toward Wei Yueze like a white bolt of lightning, its whole body exuding a biting chill as its sharp claws, surging with powerful force, fiercely grabbed at him.

Wei Yueze curled the corner of his mouth in a mocking smile, calmly extending a hand as spatial power instantly condensed into an impregnable barrier.

Tian Xue's attack struck the barrier, producing a loud roar, yet it could not budge it in the slightest.

Wei Yueze formed a seal with one hand, launching blade after blade of spatial energy at Tian Xue.

Tian Xue dodged nimbly, yet several bloody gashes were still scored on its body.

"Control!" Wei Yueze pointed a finger, and a ray of light shot swiftly toward Tian Xue's head.

Yuan Yao's expression changed abruptly; she quickly gathered her mental power and divine sense to block that ray of light.

Hum!

Her divine sense shuddered violently, then a sharp pain shot through her; in an instant she broke out in a cold sweat and her face turned deathly pale.

"Master!" Tian Xue's golden eyes flashed with disbelief; it never expected Yuan Yao would actually block that Beast Control Technique for it.

Yuan Yao gritted her teeth, clutching her Phantom Spirit Sword, and spat out two words from her pale lips: "No problem!"

At that moment, Xie Yan appeared before Wei Yueze, turning his sword intent into a blade that with a single stroke ripped open the spatial barrier surrounding Wei Yueze!

The flute sound seized the opening, swiftly closing in on Wei Yueze.

Wei Yueze raised a hand to block.

But in the next instant, the sword moves of Bian Chen, Feng Xuanji, Yu Jing, Bai Zhixing, and Yan Yunlan lunged at him!

Boom boom boom—

Tian Xue leapt up, spewing from its mouth a force impact like a volcanic eruption.

For a moment, all kinds of light burst forth.

At this moment, Xiao Zhufeng, Dongfangxiu, Wei Yanqing, Wei Yanhong, and Ao Jiayu, having shaken off the entanglement of the undead beasts, quickly joined the battle.

Meanwhile, Qian Yunzhou stood afar, playing the flute, doing his best to break through Wei Yueze's spatial defenses for them.

Yuan Yao and Cang Li also joined the battle.

This battle was extraordinarily fierce, with hardly anyone escaping injury.

Wei Yueze watched their desperate struggle and gave a cold snort in his heart.

He slightly turned his head, and then his expression turned serious.

Everyone sensed an unprecedented sense of danger, and their instincts drove them to flee at once!

But it was already too late!

"You will all stay here to keep me company," Wei Yueze said, the corner of his mouth curling into a half-smile; he then lunged at the nearest person, and in an instant Bai Zhixing landed in his palm.

"Zhixing!" Bian Chen and the others' faces changed in an instant.

Xie Yan's gaze shifted; he rushed over at top speed, swinging his sword at Wei Yueze to try to save Bai Zhixing, but before the blade could fall, a "Crack!" of breaking bone rang out.

The sixteen-year-old blue-clad youth Bai Zhixing thus had his neck twisted and broken.

The youth's pupils contracted, then gradually dissipated; he tried to look toward Bian Chen and the others, but could no longer do so.

"Master..." blood welled from the corner of his mouth, his words unfinished before his whole body collapsed to the ground.

Thud!

At this moment, everyone froze.

"Zhixing—" Feng Xuanji's pupils shook, and she let out a hoarse scream.

Before they could react, Wei Yueze was already reaching out toward Cang Li.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao's heart jumped violently.

"Mo Yang!" Cang Li, panicking, quickly summoned the black dragon Mo Yang.

A huge black dragon materialized out of thin air, only to be violently sucked toward Wei Yueze.

Mo Yang, caught off guard, felt a terrifying pressure; to save its life, it hastily spewed a scorching flame with all its might toward Wei Yueze.

With a "Boom!", the flame surged upward!

Wei Yueze frowned slightly, raising his hand to condense a spatial barrier to block the flame.

At this moment, Mo Yang cursed Cang Li in its heart.

Yuan Yao quickly rushed to Cang Li's side, grabbing his wrist with one hand.

Cang Li turned his head to look at her and said urgently, "We can't beat them—run!"

This Death Spirit King is stronger than an ordinary Immortal Venerable!

Moreover, this ruined city is also the Death Spirit King's home ground; wanting to kill them is an easy task.

The strongest among them are Xie Zixu and Qian Yunzhou.

Their cultivation level should be around the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

And this Death Spirit King's cultivation level should have reached the Body Integration Realm!

What does that mean?!

Enough to crush them!

Yuan Yao also realized the gravity of the problem; if it weren't for her third senior brother reacting extremely quickly just now, she might have ended up like Bai Zhuxing.

She hasn't recovered yet, constantly trembling with fear.

"Third senior brother, I understand, you go in first."

"Where to?"

As soon as Cang Li finished speaking, Yuan Yao forcibly sent him into the Yaoguang Space, and the Black Dragon Mo Yang disappeared along with him.

Yuan Yao steadied her mind, gripped the sword in her hand, and she now realized that dealing with the Death Spirit King required long-term planning.

Because the Death Spirit King's strength is far beyond what she imagined.

Even if all the young cultivators combined, they cannot match it.

So——

"Everyone, run quickly!"

"I will buy you time!"

After speaking, she used the Phantom Spirit Sword to slash her palm, offering blood to the sword!

Before anyone could react, she flashed forward and appeared before Wei Yueze, swinging her sword at him.

"Thousands of mountains, myriad laws——"

"Heavenly Phoenix Flowing Fire Blade!"

Boom——

Flames shot up to the sky, bringing an incredibly scorching heat wave, as if to burn everything in the world to ashes.

Wei Yueze raised his hand to block the sword blade, his eyes narrowing sharply.

All that could be seen was her forming a seal with one hand.

"Labyrinth Transposition Formation, activate!"

In an instant, beneath the ground, a massive formation totem appeared, emitting an extremely dazzling light.

And in a moment, the position where Feng Xuanji and others were located was moved to a distance.

Here, only Yuan Yao, Wei Yueze, and Lu Xiangxiang remained.

Xie Yan's expression changed slightly; he was about to rush over when he heard Yuan Yao's mental transmission: "I have a self-protection method; you leave first!"

Her tone allowed no refusal.

And at this moment——

Wei Yueze raised his hand and struck out with a palm, aiming at Yuan Yao from a distance.
