The sallow-faced demonic cultivator dodged swiftly, his voice laced with shock.
But as soon as he spoke.
Yunxia Gu was already upon him.
She let out a low roar,
"It's too late to know now!"
Before her voice faded, with a *swish*, Yunxia Gu, wielding her long sword, thrust directly at the demonic cultivator.
Yunxia Gu's greatest strength lay in her swordsmanship.
Her Qingcheng Golden Light Sword Technique was renowned.
The sword edge was sharp, and a golden sword energy shot towards the demonic cultivator.
Her entire being transformed into an afterimage, moving at extreme speed.
The demonic cultivator was stunned. At this moment, he didn't even have time to issue a warning before desperately dodging to the side.
The sword energy struck the adjacent stone wall.
With a *crack*, it carved a long sword mark into the stone.
Senior Uncle also gave no quarter.
He charged forward, his palm striking towards the demonic cultivator.
Just as the demonic cultivator was about to shout a warning, he was hit on the neck by Senior Uncle's palm's internal energy.
In pain, the demonic cultivator clutched his neck and staggered backward, coughing up blood.
Senior Uncle and Yunxia Gu pressed their advantage, attacking from both sides.
The demonic cultivator, ignoring the pain in his neck, formed a hand seal to control his ghost servants while dodging.
With great effort, he croaked,
"Kill!"
His voice was low and strained.
And it was with considerable difficulty that he managed to utter the word.
It was evident that Senior Uncle's palm strike had damaged his vocal cords.
He was now essentially unable to speak.
Even if he could, it would only be such a faint, hoarse sound.
Following this hand seal and command, the ghost servants surrounding us.
The talismans on their foreheads brightened.
Their bodies trembled slightly, revealing ferocious and menacing expressions.
With a *howl*, they lunged at us.
The three juniors standing in the field, having just finished guarding the corpses and extinguishing the souls of the two deceased demonic cultivators.
Saw the five ghost servants, howling, rush towards us.
The five ghost servants were of average strength.
Only at the peak of Qi Gathering.
Compared to us, their strength was naturally inferior.
However, we dared not relax or be negligent in the slightest.
This was the Demonic Palace.
If the commotion became too great, or the fight lasted too long.
If they were allowed to continue their roars.
It would attract the attention of other demonic cultivators and patrolling ferocious ghosts in the vicinity.
Once these malevolent spirits and demonic cultivators discovered us and gave the alarm.
Then our killing of these ferocious ghosts would be meaningless.
Therefore, we had to be quick.
We had to fight fast, in a very short period of time.
And we couldn't let them roar loudly.
My expression turned cold. I grabbed the fox claw on my wrist and charged directly at two ghost servants.
Simultaneously, I said,
"Let's finish this quickly!"
As my voice fell, I circulated the Qiankun True Method.
I immediately used my strongest Taoist technique.
The Qiankun True Method's amplification would enhance my internal energy's strength.
My overall combat power would increase by about twenty percent.
I clenched the fox claw in one hand and thrust it towards a ghost servant.
The ghost servant, with a vicious expression, raised a claw and slapped at my face.
However, the difference in cultivation level.
Meant this ghost servant had no chance to injure me.
With a sidestep, I nimbly avoided it.
Then, with a backhand thrust, the fox claw in my hand pierced directly into the ghost servant's temple.
Before it could cry out, I applied force.
The ferocious ghost's entire body crashed to the ground with a *clang*.
Its body exploded with a *bang*. Without even a sound, its soul scattered.
The other ghost servant let out a roar.
"Ah!"
It opened its mouth and lunged to bite my neck.
I sharply turned my head, my eyes glaring fixedly at the ferocious ghost.
In an instant, my entire body's Taoist energy surged.
The terrifying power of my Xuan Dan realm cultivation was unleashed.
This ghost servant's cultivation was only at the peak of Qi Gathering.
Facing the pressure of my Xuan Dan realm, how could it withstand it?
Its body trembled, and it instinctively paused.
But that brief pause sealed its fate.
I spun around and thrust.
Directly piercing the ghost servant's forehead, at the ghost gate.
This was the vital point of malevolent spirits.
Upon being struck here, the ghost servant's body exploded with a *bang*, its soul scattering.
It couldn't even utter a sound.
On the other side, Old Mo grabbed one ghost servant by the neck.
The ferocious ghost struggled in terror.
But Old Mo lifted it high.
He formed a seal with his left hand and uttered a low command,
"Hsieh!"
The ferocious ghost exploded in Old Mo's hand with a *bang*, its soul scattering.
Xia Qiu Xi's cultivation was similar to Old Mo's, and she hailed from a renowned sect.
Her methods were quite diverse.
The moment Old Mo dealt with a ghost servant, Xia Qiu Xi used three fine flying needles to kill another ghost servant.
Another ghost servant lunged at her from behind.
Seeing this, my expression was one of surprise.
"Be careful!"
I shouted a warning and swiftly lunged forward.
However, Xia Qiu Xi merely tilted her head and formed a hand seal with her right hand.
Staring at the ghost servant, she softly chanted,
"As fast as the law commands, Halt!"
The ghost servant lunging at her suddenly froze.
Truly, Xia Qiu Xi had stopped it in its tracks.
Old Mo and I were astonished.
What kind of spell was this?
It stopped just like that?
Regardless, we had never seen Xia Qiu Xi use this before.
But now was not the time to ponder it.
I leaped forward, raising the fox claw, and thrust it directly at the ghost servant's forehead.
With another *bang*, like a bursting balloon.
The fifth ghost servant was also slain here.
All of this took us three mere moments.
Such a kill rate was quite high.
Yet, in our situation, it was still perilous.
The alley we were in, though only occupied by us.
We didn't know when other demonic cultivators or patrolling malevolent spirits might appear.
Every second was precious to us, and we couldn't afford to waste any.
Turning our attention to Senior Uncle and the others.
That demonic cultivator was strong and perceptive.
But he had picked the wrong opponents.
He had overestimated himself.
Facing the pincer attack from Senior Uncle and Yunxia Gu, he was clearly unable to withstand it.
Killing him was merely a matter of time.
But the problem was, the commotion we had caused.
Seemed to have attracted the attention of the surrounding patrols.
I could already hear the sound of a large group of footsteps.
Rapidly approaching our location.
