The enemies we've encountered since being discovered have been few.
Only the three Wu Xie Jiao蛊 masters just now were somewhat capable.
They posed a significant threat to us.
The rest, like demons, fierce ghosts, or corpse servants, aside from their numbers, didn't exert much pressure on us.
And now, the enemy blocking our path numbers two hundred.
However, it's fortunate that we are only a little over a hundred meters from the Demon Palace's wall.
Once we break through these hundred meters, we can escape the Demon Palace and head into the mountains.
In the mountains, we'll have a greater chance of shaking off these demons and malevolent spirits.
Thinking this, my gaze became resolute.
This is our only way out, our only chance to survive.
Everyone understood this.
At this moment, even facing two hundred demons and evil spirits, there was no thought of retreating.
Old Mo's face was filled with excitement:
"Someone like me, a protagonist, is destined to bathe in blood.
Master, let's fight our way out together..."
Uncle-Master glanced at Old Mo beside him, a faint smile playing on his lips:
"The last time I fought so many evil spirits in a bloody battle.
Was with Old Fool in the Spiritual Ghost Realm.
Good, today, the five of us.
We will fight our way out of the cult's demon palace together.
If we don't make it out, we can go see Old Fool and Master."
After Uncle-Master finished speaking, his body trembled.
A powerful aura rippled outwards.
These waves of energy allowed us to vividly feel his cultivation realm.
True Light realm.
We all turned to look at Uncle-Master, surprise etched on our faces:
"Uncle-Master, you, you broke through?"
I asked in astonishment.
Yun Xia Gu and Old Mo and the others also looked at Uncle-Master.
In our understanding, Uncle-Master's cultivation was only at the mid to late Profound Core stage.
Fluctuating from time to time.
However, after using the Divine Summoning Technique, his cultivation would soar.
But that was an exception, a boost from a secret technique.
His actual cultivation was still around the mid to late Profound Core stage.
But now, Uncle-Master wasn't using the "Divine Summoning Technique."
Yet his cultivation had already reached the True Light realm.
Uncle-Master smiled and nodded at me:
"After returning from the hospital, I broke through. My Dao foundation was just a bit unstable, so I didn't use it."
Hearing Uncle-Master's answer, everyone became invigorated.
"That's great, Master! You've reached the True Light realm."
"Brother Tang, you have True Light cultivation, it will be even easier for us to charge out."
Yun Xia Gu also spoke happily.
Uncle-Master didn't dwell on the topic further, only saying:
"Don't waste any more time, follow me!"
"En!"
"Alright!"
"..."
Everyone chimed in their agreement.
In an instant, all eyes converged.
Uncle-Master held his broadsword and roared:
"Charge!"
Before his voice had even faded, Uncle-Master raised his broadsword and charged forward.
In that moment, I could clearly feel an exceptionally powerful surge of Qi emanate from Uncle-Master's body.
And on the surface of the broadsword he held, a faint golden sword aura appeared.
This wasn't like Yun Xia Gu's, which appeared only when using Daoist magic or secret techniques.
Instead, it was the sword aura condensed and unbroken, naturally appearing after Uncle-Master infused the broadsword with his metal Dao Qi.
This was one of the major changes upon breaking through from Profound Core to the True Light realm...
And behind Uncle-Master, followed by me, Yun Xia Gu, and the others.
The two hundred strong demons and evil spirits on the opposite side also began to rush towards us with eerie cries.
Looking up, dozens of white-robed fierce ghosts filled the sky.
Each opened their hollow, dark eyes, bared their fanged mouths, and extended their claws.
They swooped down with "wah wah" sounds.
On the rooftops, dozens of demonic priests, armed with long swords, short knives, and other weapons, surged towards us in a swarm.
Beside them were some skinless, four-legged monsters.
In the alleyways beneath the buildings, groups of tightly packed zombies, walking corpses, and the like...
Each cried out with "ao ao" sounds.
Waiting for us to fall from the rooftops and become food for their mouths.
A year ago, I was still anxious about survival, troubled by ghosts.
But a year later.
I myself was a half-yin practitioner with Yin-Yang Envoy talismans.
And now, I had to face two hundred demons and evil spirits.
I had never imagined that one day I would experience such a grand scene...
"Ao ao..."
"Wuwu..."
"Kill them!"
"Don't let them escape."
"..."
Various sounds arose.
The groups of malevolent spirits diving down from the sky had drawn near.
Each flailed their limbs, wanting to tear us apart.
But the leader, Uncle-Master, merely snorted coldly.
He raised his broadsword and swept it forward fiercely:
"Break!"
Instantly, a two-meter-long sword aura erupted from Uncle-Master's broadsword.
It looked imposing and deadly.
This was the strength of the True Light realm.
One could project Dao Qi outwards, transforming swords into Qi to cleave stone and split water.
The first three fierce ghosts to descend were instantly annihilated and their souls scattered under Uncle-Master's sword.
Though Uncle-Master was powerful, he couldn't block all of them.
And we were also attacked by fierce ghosts rushing in from other directions.
Seeing a ghost attacking me, I showed no mercy.
I raised my hand and drew my sword, repelling the ghost.
Beside me, another fierce ghost attacked.
Aiming straight for my face with a claw.
I glared and flicked out a talisman.
As I flicked the talisman, I formed a seal with one hand.
Before the malevolent spirit could wound me, I heard myself let out a low roar:
"Hurry, as the law commands, break!"
