The branches ahead grew more numerous, and their attacks became faster.
Yu Yijun sprayed a burst of flames forward.
The branches, struck by the flames, began to burn, but as the flames died down, the peach tree grew new branches.
Seeing this, Li Xin cursed, "Damn it, what is this damn thing?"
Several more branches attacked. Li Xin and Jia Zu swung their short swords to cut them down, but there were simply too many branches.
Just as a few of them were not paying attention, several branches attacked from behind them.
Zhou Jingmin, with quick reflexes, stepped forward to block Yu Yijun, swinging his short sword to cut down the attacking branches.
"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Jia, quickly take the young girl and leave here!" Zhou Jingmin shouted to Jia Zu and Li Xin.
Jia Zu and Li Xin nodded and continued to fight their way forward.
In terms of martial arts, besides Xu Gensheng and Zhou Jingmin, these two were the strongest.
Especially Li Xin, although he made his living on the water, he wielded his short sword with exceptional skill.
While everyone else was entangled and struggling to break free, only these two could still manage.
Li Xin and Jia Zu protected Yu Yijun, fighting their way forward.
However, even the strongest fighters can be overwhelmed. Before long, the three were in a desperate struggle.
Seeing this, Jia Zu looked at Li Xin beside him, "Brother Li, I'll hold them here, you take the young fairy away first."
Li Xin could only take Yu Yijun away. He didn't know how much further they had to go to escape these bizarre peach trees. Staying to fight would surely lead to annihilation.
Li Xin smiled faintly and looked at Yu Yijun beside him, "Little fairy, you must keep up with my pace."
On the other side, Tang Junsheng and the others entered the village and soon saw the scene before them.
Li Naifeng, seeing everyone locked in a desperate struggle, couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, what's going on here?"
Tang Junsheng instructed the disciples beside him, "You go help, I'll go ahead."
While these things were not difficult to deal with, their sheer numbers made them a hindrance. Bringing them along would only slow them down.
With that thought, Tang Junsheng stomped on the ground and charged forward. The other disciples followed suit.
Li Naifeng swallowed and decided not to go up.
He didn't know any magic, nor was he skilled in martial arts. Going up would be no different than offering himself as experience.
Although there were many branches attacking Tang Junsheng, he easily dodged them.
Suddenly, a branch lunged at him. Tang Junsheng let out a disdainful snort, then swung his hand like a blade, cutting down the peach tree.
The peach tree, cut down in one blow, crashed to the ground, but its trunk madly grew new branches.
Seeing this, Tang Junsheng frowned, "I didn't expect the trunk to heal even after being cut."
Tang Junsheng knew that continuing to cut was pointless and moved on, hurrying forward.
Before long, Tang Junsheng caught up with Xu Gensheng, who was also hurrying forward.
Their eyes met for a second before they both continued on their way.
In terms of speed, Xu Gensheng was naturally no match for Tang Junsheng.
Before long, Tang Junsheng encountered Zhou Jingmin, who was struggling to resist.
The moment Zhou Jingmin saw Tang Junsheng, killing intent flared in his eyes.
Tang Junsheng's eyes also showed killing intent, "There's no need to involve the younger generation in the grudges of our generation. That matter... "
"Let it go?" Zhou Jingmin sneered, "Hmph, if it weren't for you back then, the Yanhuo Sect wouldn't have been reduced to being bullied by anyone."
Tang Junsheng fell silent. That battle back then was indeed their fault.
But now that things had come to this, nothing could go back to the way it was.
"We were indeed in the wrong first. If you are willing, the Yanshu Sect can support you to become a first-class force, and we can also give you one-tenth of our industries," Tang Junsheng said.
"Support? Bah!" Zhou Jingmin glared fiercely at Tang Junsheng, "You should say that to the two hundred disciples of the Yanhuo Sect who died."
Just then, Xu Gensheng also arrived.
Tang Junsheng knew that further discussion was meaningless and continued to move forward.
Ahead, Li Xin continuously swung his short sword, cutting down the attacking branches.
Yu Yijun looked at Li Xin, who was bleeding profusely from his arm and chest, "Senior Li, if it's too much, you should go back and ask Grandpa Xu for help. I'll walk the rest of the way by myself."
Li Xin wiped the blood from his face and looked at the remaining hundred meters ahead, "Little fairy, don't worry. Since I, Li Xin, have agreed to this, I will definitely see it through. It's just a hundred meters, watch me escort you out!"
Li Xin endured the sharp pain from his wounds, gripped his short sword tightly, and charged forward with Yu Yijun.
