"It should be said that these Dao soldiers can borrow power from the Five Elements Altar to strengthen themselves," Han Li said.

As he spoke, the dazzling golden light retracted, and the Five Elements Dao soldiers surrounding them brandished their weapons and charged towards Han Li and the others.

Among them, the Dao soldiers with water and wood attributes attacked the group of demons led by Qimozi.

Han Li's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing this.

These Dao soldiers seemed to be charging in a disorganized manner, but in reality, they were still based on the previous formation, with some changes. They appeared to have coordinated offense and defense, with no flaws to be found.

Lei Yuce and the others also noticed this. Everyone looked solemn and activated their cultivation arts and immortal artifacts, forming a defensive formation to prepare for battle.

"The rest is up to you."

Qimozi spoke, his figure suddenly rising into the air, surpassing the demons. As his sleeves billowed, golden light rolled around him, and he actively faced the fire-attribute Dao soldiers.

As soon as he made a move, he summoned a golden torch, suspending it in front of him, seemingly wanting to use the power of the law of time to imprison the Dao soldiers in place.

However, he soon discovered that the power of the law of time he released seemed to have no effect on these Dao soldiers.

On the contrary, Xiong Shan, who had been carefully following behind him, was affected by the blazing flames released by the golden torch, and his entire body froze in place, unable to move at all.

"Hmph, so that's how it is." Qimozi glanced at the golden lamp on the altar and suddenly understood.

These Dao soldiers could borrow the power of the altar, so naturally they could also borrow the power of the divine lamp to resist the influence of the law of time.

Qimozi then put away the golden torch, turned his wrist, and took out the black stone axe, slashing horizontally at the hundred or so fire-armored Dao soldiers rushing towards him.

Whoosh!

A black light suddenly spread out from the edge of the axe, sweeping towards the fire-armored Dao soldiers in a crescent shape.

Upon seeing this, the fire-armored Dao soldiers seemed to know the danger. They stopped their forward momentum, and the formation they had formed changed rapidly. The flames on the surface of their scarlet-golden armor rolled and connected with each other, forming a single piece. At the same time, the Dao soldiers at the front all swung their sabers.

With a loud "boom," the void in front of the fire-armored Dao soldiers shook, and a huge wall of fire immediately surged out, burning fiercely towards Qimozi like raging waves.

Wherever the fire wall passed, the void twisted, and spatial vortexes that had been burned through by the flames were constantly generated.

Almost in the next moment, with the second batch of Dao soldiers raising and swinging their sabers, the second wall of fire also formed, followed closely behind. Then came the third wall...

When the black axe shadow landed on the first wall of fire, there were already more than a dozen spatial vortexes around it.

The two collided, and a deafening roar erupted. The first wall of fire shattered in response, and the axe shadow also exploded, but it still continued to strike the second and even the third wall of fire.

Whether it was the remaining fire debris or the exploding black axe shadow, they were all swallowed up by the spatial vortexes, leaving nothing behind.

However, before the sound completely disappeared, the black stone axe in Qimozi's hand had already been舞成 (wǔ chéng, danced into) a black whirlwind, enveloping his entire body. His figure had already passed through several walls of fire and directly entered the ranks of the fire-armored Dao soldiers.

On the other side, Bai Gu, Tong Shi, and the other four demons involuntarily focused their attention on the Eagle-Nosed Demon as they watched the wood-attribute Dao soldiers approaching.

"You arrange the formation, Second Brother. Remember not to break the formation too early. Let them explore the way first," the Eagle-Nosed Demon said slowly, arms crossed in front of his chest.

From his appearance, it seemed that he had no intention of taking action himself, but instead wanted the other four demons to join forces to resist the enemy.

"Don't worry, Brother. Leave it to me," the White Bone Demon said immediately.

The other demons seemed to be used to this and did not find it inappropriate.

"Brothers, it's been a long time since we've stretched our muscles. Let's use the Four Symbols Enchantment Formation to deal with them today," the White Bone Demon said with a flash in his eyes and a sinister smile.

"Alright!"

"Just to warm up!"

Tong Shi and the others responded at the same time.

As soon as they finished speaking, they charged forward, with black smoke constantly emerging from their bodies, engulfing them all. Although it was invisible, the fierce aura soared a hundredfold in an instant.

Within the black smoke, the true forms of four fierce beasts could be vaguely seen, with lightning and thunder flashing inside, and flickering flames.

With Tong Shi in the lead and White Bone at the rear, the other two demons stood on the left and right sides. They had obviously formed some kind of indescribable tacit understanding. Although they seemed to be acting independently, they were actually like one entity.

Those wood-attribute Dao soldiers who rushed up were fearless, and the green light on their bodies surged. They suddenly slammed their weapons into the ground, and the ground rumbled and shook violently.

The Eagle-Nosed Demon frowned and looked down, only to see a layer of green light sweeping across the ground, and a layer of slippery moss was actually spreading over it. Underneath, the roots and branches of vines grew vigorously, bursting out of the ground.

With a loud "boom," the ground beneath the demons' feet suddenly cracked open, and countless green vines rushed out of the ground like demon tentacles, piercing into the Four Symbols Enchantment Formation, stirring up the black smoke and causing constant rumbling.

"Interesting. Then I'll play with you all."

The Eagle-Nosed Demon muttered, stretched out his arms to both sides, and a layer of black demon flames suddenly covered his body. Then, his whole body rose up like an eagle, and then dived into the formation.

Just as Qimozi and the five demons were fighting fiercely with the Dao soldiers, the battle between Han Li's side and the remaining Dao soldiers also broke out almost simultaneously.

The Lan Yuan siblings were fighting with those Dao soldiers who were dragging liquid golden liquid on their bodies. Both of them were flashing with blue light, and the immortal spiritual power between them seemed to be united through some kind of secret technique.

As the two waved their four arms, streams of water surged out continuously, constantly衝抵 (chōng dǐ,冲抵) the flowing golden liquid, and bursts of white smoke rose up, emitting a mesmerizing fragrance that made people's souls sway.

At the same time, Lei Yuce joined hands with Wen Zhong and Su Qian, dealing with those stone giants, and the two sides were also fighting inextricably.

Those stone Dao soldiers did not have any strange magical powers. Their bodies were inherently very strong and extremely powerful. With the assistance of the formation they had formed, they were even more impregnable. After each time they were defeated, they could always return to their original state in a few breaths, as if they were immortal, which was quite troublesome.

At this moment, Han Li was also joining hands with Jiao San and Hu San to deal with those Dao soldiers holding golden spears.

The armor on these guys was no less sturdy than those stone Dao soldiers, and the spears in their hands were even stranger. Every time they stabbed out, the spiral golden light at the tip would suddenly shoot out densely like arrows.

Moreover, this golden light was extremely sharp, as if it could tear through the void. Even if Han Li kept a distance of more than ten zhang from the Dao soldiers, the golden light they shot out could instantly penetrate his vital points, making it difficult to defend against.

What was even more troublesome was that these Dao soldiers seemed to have little intelligence, but in reality, they cooperated skillfully, just like a disciplined army. Every time they attacked, they had backup support in their movements, forcing Han Li and the others into a difficult situation.

At this moment, Han Li suddenly shouted loudly, "Be careful!"

Hu San was startled, and his body suddenly twisted, barely avoiding the刺杀 (cì shā,刺杀) of the large swathes of golden light transformed by the two golden spears. But unexpectedly, a Dao soldier also leaped high from above his head, stabbing down with a spear.

He saw a flash of golden light at the tip of the spear, and a large swathes of golden light rolled down densely. Although Hu San dodged, his shoulder was still slashed open with a "poof," and blood gurgled out.

He glanced at the wound and saw that the injury was not serious, so he continued to fight with the Dao soldiers.

As a result, it wasn't long before he discovered that not only had the wound on his shoulder not healed, but his entire arm had also become extremely heavy, as if it had been filled with lead.

Alarmed, he quickly called out to Han Li and Jiao San, and then took out several pills and floated in the air, closing his eyes to adjust his breathing. However, after a moment, he was shocked to discover that even after taking healing pills, the wound was still bleeding non-stop.

Han Li caught sight of this scene, and his heart stirred slightly. He flipped his palm, took out a yellow gourd, poured the bottle mouth downwards, and silently chanted the incantation in his mouth.

He saw a vortex of yellow clouds appear at the mouth of the gourd, and yellow beans rolled out, coming to life as they landed, transforming into Thunder Armor Dao soldiers, and rushing up to fight with the Golden Armor Dao soldiers.

Han Li's Dao soldiers were far less powerful than the Golden Armor Dao soldiers, so naturally they could not contend with them. However, they were superior in number. With Jiao San's cooperation, they could temporarily help him block the Golden Armor Dao soldiers' offensive.

"Fellow Daoist Hu San, don't panic." Han Li was able to temporarily free himself and immediately flashed to Hu San's side.

"This Dao soldier's golden light is really strange. A small wound is bleeding non-stop, and it's also making my arm heavy, almost unable to lift it. Qingling Pills and other healing pills are not working," Hu San said with a frown.

Han Li frowned upon hearing this. He raised his hand, and a golden light lit up in his palm, gently stroking Hu San's wound.

As the golden light flashed past, the light condensed at the wound, and a small tree illusion appeared, emitting waves of rich time law fluctuations. It was none other than Han Li's Dongyi Divine Wood.

After this wood appeared, the roots of light and shadow penetrated into Hu San's wound, and the branches swayed, rippling layers of golden ripples. Then, a burning sensation came from his wound.

Hu San let out a soft "eh" upon seeing this, and was surprised to find that his arm did not seem as heavy as before, and the blood at the wound seemed to have stopped flowing.

"Time is tight. I'm just using the power of time to temporarily seal the wound, which will not affect your actions for the time being. But afterwards, you still have to find other ways to resolve this power," Han Li said quickly.

"That's enough. Thank you," Hu San nodded and thanked him.
