Facing five red-level malevolent spirits and three king-level corpse monsters, let alone us.
Even if the twelve demon souls joined forces, it would be difficult to handle.
"It's, it's over, five, five red-level malevolent spirits."
Wu Kehang was dumbfounded.
Even the senior disciple of Qingcheng Mountain would panic at such a sight.
Behind them, Huang Jie, who had been protected by Xia Qiuxiu,
was so scared that his blood and qi churned. Already heavily wounded, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
This time, he directly fainted.
"Old Qin, what do we do now?"
Old Mo and I had seen our fair share of big scenes, but now we felt a sense of helplessness.
"Damn it, what else can we do? Meet force with force. We must buy time for Senior Bai Daozi."
"Awooooo!"
The corpse monsters roared, and the three corpse monsters attacked us simultaneously.
The other three red-level malevolent spirits also lunged at Chen Long and the other demon souls.
My spiritual power was almost depleted, and I was fighting relying on the strength of my physical body.
Facing the incoming corpse monsters, I couldn't care about anything else and shouted:
"Kill!"
With that, I rushed forward with my peach wood sword.
Old Mo didn't hesitate, quickly took out a small wine bottle from his person, and took a big gulp.
This was the medicinal wine from his uncle, which could enhance blood qi.
He followed up with a roar and a shout:
"Lightning Magic: Lightning Axe."
"Crack!"
A bolt of electricity struck down, and crackling currents kept jumping.
I slashed down with my sword, and the Corpse Monster King met it with a claw.
The result was that the gap in strength instantly sent me flying.
I crashed heavily onto the nearby stone wall, instantly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Qin Ze."
Xia Qiuxiu shouted, and seeing the corpse monster rushing towards me, she directly blocked in front of me.
"Golden Light Sword Qi!"
With a sword strike, she repelled the corpse monster.
I endured the pain and forced myself to get up:
"Thanks, Qiuxiu."
My eyes bloodshot, I continued to advance.
Old Mo was alone holding off two corpse monsters. Even with the aid of the divine summoning technique and medicinal wine, he could only parry and was unable to resist.
Xia Qiuxiu and Wu Kehang, brother and sister, joined forces to stall one corpse monster, but they were also in constant peril.
A slight misstep could cost them their lives.
Chen Long and the other seven demon souls, facing the five red-level malevolent spirits, except for Chen Long, the rest of the demon souls could not withstand them.
Wu Ma and Yin Hu had already been injured, their soul power rapidly declining…
"Damn it!"
I brandished my sword and killed a small corpse monster.
It felt difficult, so difficult.
After several rounds, Wu Kehang's thigh was pierced by an ice spike spat out by an ice demon.
With a wail, he fell to the ground.
I couldn't even spare the time to save him, I could only press on with my head held high.
Because if I didn't push forward, Xia Qiuxiu would not be able to resist.
"Aow, aow, aow…"
The Corpse Monster King retreated me and Xia Qiuxiu again with several claws.
Zi Shu was also beaten to the ground, landing next to me, on the verge of death.
Two malevolent spirits lunged at Zi Shu, intending to bite him to death.
"Brother Zi Shu!"
I shouted, unleashing the last trace of my spiritual power, and swept the two malevolent spirits away with a sword.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Qin, I, I did my best."
"It's alright, come back for now!"
I showed my purple bone vine bracelet and signaled Zi Shu to return.
Zi Shu didn't hesitate. At this point, he had no combat power, and staying outside would only be a burden.
He turned into a wisp of mist and returned to the purple bone vine.
But the horde of corpse monsters had already surged forward.
This time, they were even more ferocious.
Xia Qiuxiu and I, left and right, desperately blocked.
As a result, Old Mo on the other side was also sent flying by the combined efforts of two Corpse Monster Kings, his left shoulder sustaining a wound and bleeding profusely.
I saw it but was powerless.
Weak, we were still too weak.
At this moment, we were completely surrounded.
Our resistance seemed pale and powerless.
The three Corpse Monster Kings attacked simultaneously, targeting the three of us: myself, Qiuxiu, and Old Mo.
The tearing roars and the foul wind swept towards us.
The three of us had extremely grim expressions, even feeling a sense of powerlessness.
Because the three of us knew that our spiritual power was gone.
We couldn't cast any spells.
This time, we might not be able to hold on.
Everyone's heart was filled with countless unwilling thoughts…
However, at this critical juncture.
Senior Bai Daozi's voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the cave:
"Four Lightning Array; Divine Soldier, haste as the decree, activate the array."
The moment the voice sounded, a thunderous roar of "Om" was heard, and a burst of lightning energy surged out.
It surged towards the cave entrance like a tide.
The three corpse monsters attacking the entrance were immediately repelled.
The five red-level malevolent spirits were also shaken back several meters by the ripples of lightning energy.
At the same time, Senior Bai Daozi flew over:
"Quick, quick, enter the array."
As he spoke, Senior Bai Daozi leaped in front of us and swept his sword out, killing three malevolent spirits.
Hearing this, we felt like we saw hope.
Overjoyed, we all nodded:
"Good! Let's go, all you demon generals."
"Let's go, Qiuxiu!"
"..."
As we spoke, we quickly retreated.
Carrying Huang Jie, whose thigh was pierced, and the fainted Huang Jie, we retreated towards the lightning array behind us.
The Four Lightning Array had already been activated, and we could see lightning flashing inside the cave.
Arcs of electricity kept striking the cliff face.
The "kā kā kā" sound continued to ring out.
There was a small path in the middle that could be entered.
Chen Long and the other six demon souls also retreated.
Senior Bai Daozi alone unleashed several high-level lightning magic secret arts of Maoshan.
The constant booms of thunder forced the corpse monsters and malevolent spirits to be unable to approach for the time being.
We didn't waste a second and quickly retreated into the Four Lightning Array.
Seeing this, Senior Bai Daozi also quickly retreated.
When Senior Bai Daozi returned to the Four Lightning Array, he clasped his hands together and roared:
"Close the array!"
The opening and closing pathway was instantly sealed, and arcs of electricity connected together.
Inside the Four Lightning Array, I looked around.
I saw that within the lightning array, there were four lightning positions, connected by red lines.
Those arcs of electricity were connected to each other through these red lines.
In the middle were some lightning runes drawn with blood, continuously flashing.
In the core area, there were several demon cores and ghost crystals used as the array's energy output.
"Finally, finally safe."
Old Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then his body collapsed like a deflated ball.
With a "clang," he fell backward.
Fortunately, I was quick enough to support him.
"You rest!"
I said, knowing this was the after-effect of Old Mo's divine summoning technique.
Old Mo gasped for breath:
"I, I, I'll rest, rest, rest a bit, and then I'll be fine..."
Even though Old Mo was incredibly fierce earlier, holding off two king-level corpse monsters alone.
Now, Old Mo couldn't even beat an old lady.
On the other side, Wu Kehang was tearing open his pants, bandaging his bleeding thigh.
Huang Jie was seriously wounded and unconscious, having lost a lot of blood.
Xia Qiuxiu was also applying medicine to him, trying to save his life first, so that they could wait for reinforcements.
Chen Long and the other demon souls were also almost all injured, their soul power depleted.
At this moment, they were still facing the cave entrance, vigilantly guarding.
And outside, the horde of corpse monsters and malevolent spirits surged like a tide.
In a blink of an eye, they had completely blocked the cave entrance, leaving no room for escape.
Facing the Four Lightning Array, they didn't charge at first.
Instead, they roared "Aow, aow" and snarled incessantly.
But we knew that this was only temporary. Even if the Four Lightning Array was powerful, it probably wouldn't last long.
Now, we could only gamble on luck.
Whether it's life or death, it depends on fate…
