A moment later, the arrow rain dissipated, and Dun Shan retracted the shield in his hand.
But in that instant...
A sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out!
Another arrow attacked from the front. It was incredibly huge, about as thick as a wrist and a meter long. The moment it shot out, the surrounding airflow was completely disrupted.
Even the demonic creatures nearby were torn apart by the strong wind, their bodies shattering and becoming bloody messes.
Dun Shan wanted to raise his shield again, but in that moment, Bai Ye stepped forward.
"Let me!"
Bai Ye let out a soft cry, quickly formed a sword seal, and then pointed forward with his finger.
Where his sword finger pointed, the seven flying swords around Bai Ye suddenly trembled, emitting "buzz, buzz" sword hums.
Seven Rainbows Pierce the Sky (Seven swords merge into one, attacking the target)
The seven flying swords streaked across the sky, forming a straight line, then transforming into a black long rainbow that flew forward.
Boom!
The black long rainbow collided with the giant arrow.
After a deafening roar, the black long rainbow and the giant arrow exploded simultaneously, their brilliance shattered. The giant arrow also broke into several pieces and scattered on the ground.
Then...
From within the horde of demonic creatures, a remarkably tall demonic creature walked out.
This demonic creature had the body of a bear and the head of a deer. It was extremely tall, held a powerful bow in its hand, and a giant sword about two meters long hung at its waist.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. This aura was interesting. It should be the demonic creature leader!
Bomb Cat said, "We can't let it get close. Dun Shan only knows defense, and I'm not good at close combat."
"It's alright," Bai Ye said with a smile. "I am!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he ran forward!
Bai Ye ran swiftly, his hands rapidly changing sword seals, and then the "buzz, buzz" sword hums sounded again around him.
The seven swords that had collided with and repelled the giant arrow quickly flew back, circling around Bai Ye.
At the same time, as the seven swords flew past, any demonic creatures that tried to approach Bai Ye were also killed.
Blood sprayed out in all directions, forming a thin red mist in the air.
Bai Ye pointed his sword finger forward and softly commanded, "Go!"
The seven swords rapidly transformed into sword light and shot towards the demonic creature leader.
The demonic creature leader directly dropped its bow, then pounded its chest and roared. Immediately, it drew the giant sword from its waist and swung it forward repeatedly.
Clang, clang, clang!
The demonic creature leader was fierce, its greatsword colliding with the sword light of the seven swords, producing crisp ringing sounds.
At the same time, the demonic creature leader's footsteps did not stop. It charged forward forcefully, pressing closer to Bai Ye.
Soon, the two met!
Roar!
The demonic creature leader let out a roar, its breath capable of kicking up dust, scattering the other demonic creatures around.
Then...
The demonic creature leader raised its giant sword high and brought it down directly on Bai Ye.
At the same instant, Bai Ye clenched his fist. As the giant sword descended, he threw a punch.
"Phoenix Flame!"
Blazing flames erupted from Bai Ye's body. With his punch, a vast expanse of fire appeared, engulfing the front and swallowing the demonic creature leader.
However, the demonic creature leader was incredibly ferocious. Its sword momentum did not stop, and it actually cleaved a path through the flames, continuing its attack on Bai Ye.
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged. The moment the greatsword descended, he detonated the flames scattered in the air.
Boom!
An explosive sound occurred, and then a terrifying wave spread outwards, causing the demonic creature leader's tall body to involuntarily lean backward.
Bai Ye, however, showed no signs of stopping. He leaped forward, passing through the flames, reached out to grab a flying sword suspended in the air, and slashed downward.
Pfft, pfft!
The blade swept through. As it slashed forward, two wounds opened on the opponent's chest, and a large amount of blood bloomed.
The demonic creature leader let out a pained cry, then grabbed its greatsword and swept it forward. But just as the blade was about to strike Bai Ye!
Bai Ye's figure flickered!
Teleportation!
Bai Ye unexpectedly appeared behind the demonic creature leader, his long sword piercing towards the leader again.
Pfft, pfft!
Two long swords pierced through the demonic creature leader's abdomen, directly xuyên through its body.
Blood seeped from the corners of the demonic creature leader's mouth. It gritted its teeth and endured, raising its greatsword.
But at this moment...
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
The remaining five flying swords simultaneously stabbed downwards, successively piercing the demonic creature leader's body.
Bai Ye naturally leaped backward. Black mud writhed at his fingertips, quickly forming into a black Taoist talisman.
"Thunderclap!"
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed!
The next instant, a bolt of lightning from a clear sky suddenly descended, striking the demonic creature leader directly and charring it black.
In intense pain, the demonic creature leader struggled, then its legs weakened, and it finally knelt on the ground, smoke billowing from its entire body, completely losing its breath.
Bai Ye curled his lips. The demonic creature leader was nothing special. Earning a hundred merit points was quite easy.
However, Bai Ye discovered even better news.
Five Spirits Disk, Spirit Gathering (3000/3000)
"You have completed Spirit Gathering cultivation. Your Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Spirit stats have increased by 5 points."
"You have completed Spirit Gathering cultivation. Your Five Spirits Sorcery has been enhanced."
"Due to the enhancement of your Five Spirits Sorcery, Water Sorcery has evolved into Gentle Rain."
Gentle Rain: Summons wind and rain to fall, decreasing enemy movement and attack speed, increasing own attack power, clearing negative effects on speed attributes, and weakening fire-attribute attacks.
The Five Spirits Sorcery had been enhanced!
The final Water Sorcery had become Gentle Rain, its effects quite comprehensive. It weakened enemies, boosted oneself, could also remove certain negative status effects, and countered fire-attribute attacks.
However, comprehensive also meant not outstanding in any single area. The effects of Gentle Rain were varied, but none were particularly prominent. Each effect was not very significant.
But an enhancement was still a good thing. Thus, all five of Bai Ye's Five Spirits Sorcery spells had been upgraded from the first stage to the second stage. Simultaneously, this also meant that with further Spirit Gathering, the spells would begin to advance to the third stage.
The Spirit Gathering cap had also continued to increase, and this time it had risen quite a bit, directly adding 2000 points to become (0/5000).
It wasn't entirely incomprehensible. After all, the first stage spells had all been completed, so more Spirit Gathering would be required to enhance the second stage spells.
"The road ahead is long and arduous," Bai Ye sighed, "I can only continue to work hard."
