"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Huo Wushuang sneered, the long spear in his hand like a fire Dragon, thrusting straight at Ye Ling'er!
The two Golden Cores from the Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge and the Profound Nether Sect also attacked at the same time!
For a moment, poisonous mist filled the air, sword light crisscrossed, and flames raged!
The nine people from the Jade Pool Immortal Palace were like a small boat in a stormy sea, instantly submerged!
But surprisingly, they actually managed to withstand the first wave of the siege!
Ye Ling'er's figure was ethereal, her youyue twin blades turning into a sky full of cold light.
Relying on the subtlety of the Supreme Yin Manual and the sharpness of her Yellow Rank Top-Grade Magical Artifact, she contended with Huo Wushuang!
A late-stage Foundation Establishment fighting a Late Golden Core Stage was enough to prove the terrifying nature of Ye Ling'er's Supreme Yin Divine Body.
Huo Wushuang's face grew darker as the fight went on, obviously not expecting a late-stage Foundation Establishment opponent to have such combat power.
While Zhao Linger, Wang Zhaojun, Liu Lie, and the others had lower cultivation, they managed to barely withstand the attacks of the others thanks to their Formation and tacit understanding.
And with the advantage of the Yellow Rank Top-Grade Magical Artifacts in their hands, they were holding on.
However, the absolute gap in numbers and cultivation was ultimately insurmountable!
As the battle continued, casualties began to appear among the Jade Pool Immortal Palace group!
A Disciple was corroded by the poisonous mist of the Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge, their arm rapidly rotting as they fell to the ground screaming.
To protect Wang Zhaojun, Liu Lie took a Soul attack from a Profound Nether Sect Disciple head-on, his face turning pale as he teetered.
A flame grazed Zhao Linger's shoulder, leaving a charred patch; the intense pain made her face turn white.
Ye Ling'er bore the greatest pressure.
Huo Wushuang was, after all, at the Late Golden Core Stage, his cultivation far exceeding hers, and he had the Yellow Rank Magical Artifact, the Chiyan Spear, in hand.
If not for her special Physique, mysterious Cultivation Technique, and the support of the youyue twin blades, she probably wouldn't have lasted a single move.
But even so, she was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with limited Spiritual Qi, and gradually began to fall into a disadvantage!
"Pfft!"
A spear glow grazed her ribs, tearing her robe and slicing her flesh!
Blood instantly stained her Disciple uniform!
"Junior Sister Ye!"
Zhao Linger cried out in alarm.
Ye Ling'er groaned, her body staggering, but she gritted her teeth and charged forward again.
Her eyes were filled with determination!
She looked back at her fellow Disciples who were struggling to hold on, everyone injured, and a sense of sorrow and indignation rose in her heart.
Is it... really going to end here today?
She hadn't yet repaid her Master's kindness for her rebirth... she hadn't... personally told her Master... the secret hidden deep in her heart... the secret that would make her cheeks burn and her heart race whenever she thought of it... "Master..."
Ye Ling'er called out silently in her heart, cold liquid sliding from the corners of her eyes, indistinguishable as sweat or tears.
Just as her mind was in turmoil and a gap appeared in her defense—
"Die!"
Killing intent surged in Huo Wushuang's eyes, and the Chiyan Spear turned into a bolt of crimson lightning.
With thunderous momentum, it thrust straight toward Ye Ling'er's heart!
This spear strike condensed all of his Spiritual Qi and killing intent!
Before the spear even arrived, the searing and sharp aura made Ye Ling'er's breath hitch and her whole body go cold!
She couldn't dodge! She couldn't block!
The shadow of death had never been as clear as it was at this moment!
A trace of despair flashed in Ye Ling'er's eyes, yet she still stubbornly raised her youyue twin blades, wanting to make a final struggle.
Even if... it could only buy a split second for the fellow Disciples behind her... at this critical moment—
"Buzz!"
A strange ripple rippled out from the edge of the battlefield without warning!
Wherever this ripple passed, time seemed to become viscous and slow!
Huo Wushuang's certain-kill spear strike actually slowed down visibly under the influence of this ripple!
"What?!"
Huo Wushuang's pupils shrank as he looked toward the direction of the ripple in disbelief!
Several figures were rushing over from the outskirts of the stone forest!
The leader was dressed in a white Disciple uniform, with a gentle and calm temperament—it was Liu Ruyan!
Behind her followed nine Jade Pool Immortal Palace Disciples, among whom were Zhang Cheng, Liu Yuan, and Sun Qiao!
"Senior Sister Liu!"
"Senior Sister Liu is here!"
