688: Chapter 213_9 688: Chapter 213_9 How would they, the Hundred Peaks Sect, respond!
Being cautious, the Eclipse Demon glanced at Yan Yourong and suddenly burst backward, retreating all the while pointing towards Yan Yourong and shouted loudly, “Attack together, kill her first!”
Since he was no match for Yan Yourong alone, the only option was for everyone to attack together.
As the Echoing Eclipse Demon’s words ended, all around, a group of Golden Core Stage cultivators, upon seeing Yan Yourong having distanced herself from everyone, instantly used their Divine Skills to bombard her with attacks.
On the other side, although Liè Yàn was strong, he was evenly matched in combat against two Golden Core cultivators with the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir from the Void Breaking Sect and Star Moon Mansion.
But suddenly, multiple Divine Skills blasted out, striking towards Liè Yàn’s position.
The next moment, from the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect, several Divine Skills were also launched out, meeting those attacks head-on.
For a while, in the sky, countless Divine Skills collided, causing this part of the Void to shake violently.
Flames, thunder, and frost collided and fell, the ground rolled crazily, and fierce winds howled…
Inside the Hundred Peaks Sect, several Golden Core Stage experts had already made their move.
Liè Yàn, taking advantage of the moment when the others helped him block the opponents’ Divine Skills, charged forward fiercely, heading towards the area where the enemies were most numerous.
The Divine Skills unleashed by everyone could not distinguish friend from foe; they would not stop attacking just because the target was a fellow Immortal Sect disciple.
Therefore, during such large-scale battles, if one’s strength was sufficient, they could rush into the enemy’s crowd, and then the enemy’s use of Divine Skills could easily end up striking their own people.
At the forefront of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples, Divine Skills surrounded Yan Yourong, not attacking her, but rather countering those that were aimed at her.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Yourong also surged forward suddenly, in an instant arriving in front of the Eclipse Demon, her Dragon Scale Knife slashing downwards.
Under this blade, the whole world seemed to light up with a riot of colors, an overwhelming sword energy, like the mighty rush of a great river, surged forward.
The Eclipse Demon retreated quickly, but with Yan Yourong’s full force unleashed, her speed was just too fast, catching up to him in an instant.
Seeing that escape was impossible, he abruptly stabilized his stance, as his aura rapidly soared, reaching its peak in an instant.
In his hand, the glow atop the long halberd flared, and as it swung, a boundless force as if capable of shattering heaven and earth descended.
However, the moment this force touched Yan Yourong’s long blade, it was instantly destroyed.
The Eclipse Demon was shaken so fiercely that his blood churned, and he was flung backward.
Although he was stronger than Wen Zhanyan and the others, alone against Yan Yourong, he was no match either.
Previously, he was able to block Yan Yourong’s attacks because they had already been hindered by Wen Zhanyan.
Yan Yourong did not give the Eclipse Demon a chance to catch his breath.
After striking him with a single blow, she swiftly pursued him.
Meanwhile, from the side, a Giant Hammer unexpectedly struck.
This time it was Wen Zhanyan coming to the Eclipse Demon’s aid, and although Tang Yushuang, who had been previously sent flying, had sustained internal injuries, he also flew over.
Suddenly, Yan Yourong was alone, facing three Golden Core cultivators at the state of Ten Different Phenomena of Great Perfection.
Yet, Yan Yourong showed not the slightest fear.
Within her, a fierce will to fight surged out like a towering wave.
Three different Golden Core cultivators with Ten Different Phenomena?
So what?
Even up against numerous opponents, countless enemies, she was determined to dominate with the sword in her hand.
She had promised her master to protect the Hundred Peaks Sect,—unless she died, she would not let anyone take even a single step into the Hundred Peaks Sect!
Yan Yourong’s Grieving Anger Dragon Blade swung through the air, releasing a fierce and unrivaled sword energy sweeping in all directions!
And during her skirmish with the trio, in the distance, several figures set their sights on Yan Yourong’s back.
“We can’t let her live!”
“Take advantage of the fact that three masters are holding her up.
Let’s join forces and take her out!”
“You, block the others from the Hundred Peaks Sect!”
“No matter how strong she is, she’s just one person after all!”
“Now is the time, strike!”
Suddenly, five people, watching Yan Yourong release divine skills as she made her strike, launched their attack at the same instance.
Among these five people, two had completed Pill Fusion with ten Golden Cores, and the other three with nine.
In theory, completing Pill Fusion signified the peak of the Golden Core Stage.
The combined force of five people at Pill Fusion stage striking at once was incredibly frightening, and although Yan Yourong, who had just unleashed her Sword Technique and divine skills, sensed an attack from behind, she was utterly unable to dodge or to release any divine skills in that moment.
She could only rely on the Protective Divine Power she bore to defend herself, but this power had already been affected by the earlier battle.
To ensure a hit on Yan Yourong, the divine skills launched by the five people encompassed the entire area where she stood.
“Boom!”
A bolt of lightning struck first, breaking through Yan Yourong’s already shattered Dragon and Tiger Golden Body, leaving her protected only by the Five Elements Body Protection Technique she had obtained from the Five Elements Peak.
However, the glow of the Five Elements Body Protection Technique had already dimmed, and under the strike of the lightning, the colorless light instantly dissipated.
Immediately thereafter, a hand that eclipsed the sun, endless rushing water, a wind blade that seemed to rip through mountains, and scorching flames descended all at once, engulfing Yan Yourong.
Under the assault of four divine skills, a pallor swiftly spread across Yan Yourong’s face.
She wavered and plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Wen Zhanyan, who had been engaged in battle with her, was also affected by the barrage of divine skills.
Although the skills were not aimed at him, he, having been injured in the battle with Yan Yourong, also fell from the sky and landed hard on the ground, spewing a mouthful of bright red blood.
The Giant Golden Core fortified by ten different phenomena behind his back also began to darken.
Around the two of them, Golden Core Stage cultivators of weaker strength were affected by the attack, blown away by the shockwave; among them, two who might have been closer to Yan Yourong, perhaps with the intention of ambushing her, were obliterated by the terrifying force of the divine skills, their bodies exploding into a mist of blood that surged towards the sky!
The five attackers had used their strongest offensive divine skills to ensure they could grievously wound or even straight out annihilate Yan Yourong with a single blow.
They were merely affected by the periphery of the strike and had suffered greatly; not to mention Yan Yourong, who had been directly hit.
Yan Yourong, crashing into the ground, formed a massive crater, as the blood within her body boiled and surged tumultuously, several of her meridians snapping entirely.
Although she was at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and possessed unmatched combat prowess, her strength was her swordsmanship because she had mastered the perfect fusion of the Five Elements Power.
However, her body was still only at the strength level of a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
She couldn’t withstand the full force strike from five Pill Fusion cultivators.
“Quick, finish her off!”
All around, the crowd looked at the severely injured Yan Yourong and unleashed their divine skills, bombarding the huge crater where she had fallen.
Just as these beams of light were about to hit the crater, suddenly, a silver streak flashed across the sky and rapidly dropped into the crater.
Following that, a sweep of silver light shone out.
