Chapter 458: Enemies Come One After Another

However, Heisha seemed calm and unhurried.

His body's evil demonic qi covered the entire battlefield, turning into black phantoms that swirled around Gu Qingwan.

Malicious attacks came from all directions, forcing Gu Qingwan to stay constantly vigilant.

"Do you think you can still block me?"

Heisha sneered, his evil grin making him look even more terrifying.

Gu Qingwan, however, did not retreat; she calmly dodged and counterattacked.

She threw herself wholeheartedly into the battle, fiercely protecting the entrance to the cave dwelling.

Each attack seemed to prove her determination and courage.

Flames and demonic qi intertwined in the air, and their figures also crossed each other.

They were both outstanding young cultivators of the Xiuzhen Jie, possessing powerful cultivation realms and unmatched strength.

Time flew by quickly; several hours had already passed in the battle.

Gu Qingwan's robes were already torn in places, yet she still held fast to the entrance of the cave dwelling.

She remained silent, her gaze firm and resolute; Gu Qingwan went all out in conflict with the Black Flame Sect members.

She wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip, unleashing myriad unpredictable ice-system immortal arts attacks.

However, the Black Flame Sect members did not retreat; they stood before Gu Qingwan with confidence and arrogance.

Hahaha!

A Black Flame Sect disciple burst out laughing, "You puny cultivators dare to oppose us?"

"It's simply laughable!"

A flash of anger and unease crossed Gu Qingwan's eyes.

She knew the Black Flame Sect members had gained powerful immortal arts power, and they also possessed a mysterious weapon—the Ten Directions Netherfire Bow.

This made them very confident, and they displayed a sense of superiority over Gu Qingwan and the others.

"Do you think these little tricks can stop us?"

A Black Flame Sect member curled his lip sarcastically, "You're really naive!"

As soon as his words fell, he raised the Ten Directions Netherfire Bow in his hand.

Flames gathered on the bow, forming an arrow burning with demonic qi patterns.

He drew the bowstring to the full; the flaming arrow sliced across the sky, and a sharp killing intent spread.

Gu Qingwan sensed something amiss and immediately twisted her body to dodge the arrow's attack.

However, the arrow flew at extreme speed, shooting toward her in the blink of an eye.

"Be careful!" Lu Yuan exclaimed loudly upon seeing the situation.

Gu Qingwan dodged with all her might, but an arrow still grazed her arm.

The intense pain made her suck in a breath of cold air.

The Black Flame Sect's immortal arts and mysterious weapon far exceeded their expectations, plunging them into a graver predicament.

"This battle is meaningless!"

King Qi shouted angrily, "They have already secured complete advantage."

Su Liyan gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly and added cautiously, "We must consider escaping from here!"

Just as they were preparing to withdraw, the Black Flame Sect members revealed smug smiles.

"Do you think escaping is possible?"

A Black Flame Sect disciple sneered, "This is your fate!"

They once again gathered immortal arts power, and the flames on the Ten Directions Netherfire Bow quickly ignited.

One after another, flaming arrows shot forth, heading straight for Gu Qingwan and the others.

Gu Qingwan's face turned pale, but she did not retreat.

She knew that only by persevering could there be hope.

She grasped the Ice Crystal Long Whip again, giving her all to meet the Black Flame Sect members' attacks.

The battle entered a white-hot stage.

Ice and fire clashed and collided, stirring up a tumultuous surge around the cave dwelling.

Although Gu Qingwan and the others struggled to resist, they gradually succumbed to exhaustion.

Hahaha!

The Black Flame Sect members laughed mockingly, "It seems you are now powerless."

Gu Qingwan, furious and defeated, gripped the Fobao; True Lord Po Tian, Xueying, and other villainous members gained the advantage. Gu Qingwan clenched the Ice Crystal Long Whip, and her wounds only strengthened her resolve to fight.

She knew she could not show weakness now; only by giving her all could she have a slim chance of survival.

At the same time, Lu Yuan stared intently at Jin Yong.

His heart burned with battle fervor; he deeply understood he must buy time for his companions to escape.

Jin Yong's body erupted with overbearing power; he continuously accumulated immortal arts power, his eyes flashing with cruelty and arrogance.

He raised his Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, unleashing a powerful black aura that pressed toward Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, you brat, you're too arrogant!"

"With just a little cultivator like you, you dare to fight me?" Jin Yong sneered.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, five-colored light flashing across his body.

He employed the Five Elements Escape Technique, instantly vanishing into the ground and reappearing behind Jin Yong the next moment.

"Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation!"

Lu Yuan murmured under his breath; white sword light descended from the heavens, transforming into several rotating sword formations that trapped Jin Yong within.

Jin Yong's face changed drastically; he felt the terrifying power contained in the sword formation.

He struggled with all his might, trying to break free, but he found that the more he struggled, the tighter the bonds became.

"Impudent!"

Jin Yong let out an angry roar, and the black aura on his body instantly erupted, completely tearing apart the sword formation.

Lu Yuan gave a cold chuckle, yet felt no hesitation in his heart.

He looked at Jin Yong, riddled with flaws, seized the opportunity, and thrust forth the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand.

Flames flew, lightning intertwined, stirring up a towering wave in the central area of the cave abode.

Lu Yuan struck with a sword in the swiftness of thunder before one could cover their ears.

Jin Yong's face changed drastically; he tried to block this fatal blow.

However, under Lu Yuan's precise assault, he was quickly driven back several steps.

"Damn it!"

Jin Yong snarled through gritted teeth, "You juniors are going too far!"

Lu Yuan coldly stared at Jin Yong: "The experts of the Black Flame Sect are indeed formidable, but you have underestimated me."

A fighting spirit rose in his heart, and the righteous immortal aura on his body grew ever stronger.

Lu Yuan continued to employ various immortal arts in attack, nimbly dodging Jin Yong's counterattacks, and continually slashing at him with the thunderfire sword.

The more Jin Yong fought, the angrier he became, and his defenses began to waver.

Under Lu Yuan's suppression, Jin Yong had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Finally, a fierce sword strike slashed toward Jin Yong, utterly defeating him.

Jin Yong was violently shaken and flung out, crashing down in the center of the cave abode.

"The outcome is decided!"

Lu Yuan gave a soft shout, condensing a light barrier that enveloped Jin Yong within.

The members of the Black Flame Sect stared dumbfounded at this scene, "How could this be?"

"We clearly had the advantage!"

They stared in disbelief at the magical artifacts and immortal aura radiating strong light from everyone's persons. However, just as Lu Yuan prepared to pursue Jin Yong, a gloomy laugh suddenly rang out.

"Hahaha, kid, it seems I overestimated you."

Accompanied by the laughter, a tall man slowly walked in.

He wore a black robe, a mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of gloomy and shrewd eyes.

Everyone instantly turned their heads toward the newcomer, all feeling a tremor in their hearts. (End of chapter)
