The soldiers before them all rotted away, turning into piles of yellow sand.
As the sand accumulated, everything began to sink into it bit by bit.
Seeing this, Su Xi instantly understood the situation and quickly said to those beside her, "Quick, let's go."
This place had now become quicksand. If they were trapped in it, who knew what would happen.
For safety, they had to leave this cursed place immediately.
However, despite Su Xi's swift reaction, it was already too late.
Their bodies began to be swallowed by the quicksand, making it impossible to move even a muscle.
They stood motionless on the ground.
The quicksand on the ground seemed to possess a peculiar ability, rendering them unable to move.
Once even a little was swallowed, one could no longer move at all.
Ghost Elder watched this scene unfold, a cold sneer appearing on his face.
He took out a knife from his body and directly severed his own foot.
Since his cultivation had been restored, he possessed the ability of eternal life.
With the power of immortality, he naturally had no fear of injury.
After severing his own foot, Ghost Elder quickly broke free from the sand's grasp and regained his mobility.
Seeing how Ghost Elder could do this, Li Ping also severed his own leg and regained his mobility.
For him, it was no longer a problem.
Fatty stared at their peculiar actions, a look of disbelief on his face.
What kind of maneuver was this?
They could even play like this?
"Save me, save me!"
Fatty looked at the two, pleading for help.
The engulfing power of the sand was too fast. If they didn't leave soon, they would surely be in danger.
Ghost Elder did not hesitate. Facing Fatty's pleas, he prepared to pull him out.
Being in the quicksand made it impossible to exert force, but now that he was out, there was no longer any danger.
However, even though he used all his strength, Fatty, apart from nearly being torn apart, showed no sign of being pulled out.
What was going on?
The change before them made everyone wear expressions of disbelief.
Such a bizarre situation seemed truly abnormal.
Su Xi frowned as she watched this scene.
It seemed this yellow sand was not ordinary, and it harbored a hidden danger.
"What do we do?" Ghost Elder looked at Su Xi in confusion.
If they were discovered, how could they possibly leave this cursed place?
Just as Su Xi was about to voice her opinion, a gust of wind came from behind, followed by a flash of yellow light descending from the sky.
Along with this yellow light, Ghost Elder and Li Ping quickly dodged to the side.
For them, this attack was lethal. If they couldn't dodge it, they were certainly doomed.
After Li Ping and Ghost Elder dodged, the yellow sand on the ground instantly solidified, and soldiers made of sand soon appeared.
The Sand General emerged, weapon in hand, charging towards the two.
Countless red lights flickered in its eyes.
With the appearance of this red light, it transformed into a force of pure slaughter.
Seeing the power of the Sand General, Ghost Elder and Li Ping quickly retreated, seeking opportunities to attack.
But even with all their might, the Sand General remained completely unaffected, seemingly indifferent to their actions.
Why couldn't they kill it?
Li Ping looked at Ghost Elder in confusion.
Not only could this monster not be killed, but it also couldn't be harmed.
Even their ultimate moves were useless.
They had no effect whatsoever.
"Rumble!"
The general made of yellow sand seemed unable to bear it any longer and instantly launched a series of attacks.
Only these attacks could express their inner turmoil.
Watching all this, Su Xi had no idea what to do.
Upon seeing this, Su Xi realized the might of the Sand General.
Therefore, she was not at all careless, constantly pondering how to escape the current predicament.
Their bodies continued to sink into the sand. Without their last bit of strength, they would never survive.
Moreover, this general formed from sand seemed invincible. If this continued, Ghost Elder and Li Ping would surely suffer.
Seeing this, Lin Qing suddenly said, "I think I know how to leave."
"???"
Fatty and Su Xi looked at Lin Qing, not understanding what he meant.
In this situation, what other methods were there?
Lin Qing looked at the Sand General displaying its might and said, "The reason we can't move now is because we've become the source of the sand's power, hence our inability to escape. If we change ourselves, we can leave quickly."
For the first time, Su Xi found Lin Qing's words incomprehensible.
He didn't want to know what was happening; all he wanted was to know how to solve the problem.
Lin Qing saw the confusion in Su Xi's eyes and said, "We will now begin to decompose the Five Elements energy within our bodies."
With that said, Lin Qing began to chant incantations. As the incantations echoed, five-colored lights instantly emanated from him.
Along with these lights, he transformed into a ball of light.
As this ball of light appeared, his sinking body began to be slowly spat out by the sand.
Seeing that Lin Qing's method was effective, Su Xi also began to follow suit, decomposing the Five Elements energy in her body.
Originally, they needed to transform the Five Elements energy in their bodies into a primary force to achieve purity and ultimate explosive power.
What they were doing now was to decompose the parts of their bodies that had already become their own strength, turning them back into Five Elements energy.
As Su Xi also transformed her power into the Five Elements energy, the restraints on her body immediately felt lighter.
Her entire body began to move out of the sand bit by bit.
Fatty's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing this.
What about him?
He was just a mere Qi Condensation cultivator, how could he possibly master such profound techniques?
So, he once again looked at Su Xi, "Save me."
It was better to live poorly than to die. He certainly wouldn't miss any chance to survive.
Hearing Fatty's plea, Su Xi naturally wouldn't stand by and watch.
She immediately cast a spell, which instantly stopped Fatty's descent and began to pull him out bit by bit.
Ghost Elder and Li Ping's faces lit up with ecstatic joy.
They had already felt despair facing this unkillable general.
But now that Su Xi and the others had escaped the sand, things were much easier.
Su Xi and the others knew that Ghost Elder and the others wouldn't last much longer.
So, without further ado, they moved forward to engage.
"Sword Formation!"
With a furious roar, Lin Qing exuded a sharp killing intent.
As this killing intent surged, everything in its path was instantly severed. Even the sand that approached him was split in two.
The Sand General seemed to sense that Lin Qing was difficult to deal with and, ignoring everyone else, concentrated all its strength and charged towards Lin Qing.
Facing the Sand General's attack, Lin Qing did not get complacent. A sword light flashed in his hand, and he unleashed a sharp incantation.
As the incantation appeared, all the sand was split in two.
Even the seemingly unharmable Sand General was now in two halves, falling to the ground.
Li Ping and Ghost Elder stared with wide eyes at Lin Qing's display of power.
What had they just witnessed?
They were both at the Mahayana stage experts, so why was the gap so vast?
After Lin Qing resolved the Sand General, the sword formation in his hand did not dissipate. Instead, it swung towards the surrounding area.
Since these entities had appeared, they would not be easily dealt with.
These things were like maggots on a bone, impossible to shake off.
"Rumble!"
Lin Qing's attack landed on the ground, and dozens of Sand Generals exploded forth.
Even one Sand General was difficult to deal with, but now there were so many.
Ghost Elder and Li Ping wished they could have a moment to themselves, otherwise their minds couldn't accept it.
Seeing so many Sand Generals appear, Su Xi also hesitated no longer.
A minute's delay meant a minute more of trouble. Therefore, they had to act immediately to resolve them before they could react.
Su Xi and Lin Qing fought with all their might, eliminating all the Sand Generals.
Just when everyone thought they could relax, a deep and mysterious voice suddenly came from behind, "I truly didn't expect you to be so powerful."
He had originally intended to use the formation to annihilate this group of people. Who knew they would not only evade his formation but also directly dismantle it.
These Sand Generals were experts he had painstakingly sought out from afar. The loss of each one represented a significant cost.
Since he knew the Sand Generals were no match for Su Xi, he naturally had to do something else.
Seeing these figures appear, Su Xi's gaze tightened, knowing the person behind it had arrived.
Soon, a familiar face emerged, it was Wu Tian, whom they hadn't seen for many days.
Wu Tian looked at everyone before him and smiled sweetly, "It's been a while."
Fatty's eyes widened at this sight.
It was Wu Tian?
If Wu Tian of the Dragon Tiger Sect was this powerful, why had he been suppressed by him back then?
Su Xi looked at Wu Tian before her and said, "This person is not the Wu Tian we know. In other words, he may no longer be Wu Tian."
Hearing Su Xi's words, Wu Tian clapped his hands and said, "I never expected that the one who understood me best would be you."
