Meanwhile.
After hearing the telepathic message from the Seventh Elder, True Person Yunhua was stunned.
Ye Fan had a way to deal with these things?
As a result of this momentary distraction, his feet were almost bitten off by a rushing puppet...
"Eldest Elder, Third Elder, help me protect the law!"
After issuing this command, True Person Yunhua began to unleash his ultimate move.
To be honest, he wasn't too confident in Ye Fan.
Firstly, he still hadn't figured out what these things actually were.
They showed no fluctuations of Zhenqi or demonic energy, yet they were incredibly fierce as if they had taken some stimulant.
Although he admitted Ye Fan's talent for alchemy was monstrous.
Precisely because of this, it meant Ye Fan had to spend a considerable amount of time on elixirs.
Coupled with Ye Fan's bone age of only twenty-something.
It was unlikely he would have more experience than himself.
Secondly, it was also due to Ye Fan's identity as an alchemist.
Even if Ye Fan might have encountered such things by chance, with his focus on alchemy, where would he find the energy to study these monsters?
The reason he agreed was purely out of desperation.
These things were too monstrous!
Attacking them was useless, but they could strike with devastating force...
If this continued, they would eventually be worn down.
True Person Yunhua subconsciously felt that since Ye Fan was already so monstrous, perhaps another level of monstrousness was not impossible...
Over at the Wujin Sect.
"Sect Master, these monsters are simply indestructible," an elder said anxiously. "We should retreat!"
In fact, they had thought about escaping before and had even tried.
The Sect Master of the Wujin Sect glanced at True Person Yunhua, who was preparing his ultimate move. "You escort those disciples away first, I'll wait a bit longer."
The key had always been in the hands of the Yunhua Sect before.
He couldn't be sure if True Person Yunhua had some exclusive information.
Now that True Person Yunhua was preparing his ultimate move, it clearly indicated some plan.
Anyway, with his cultivation, he could retreat safely at any time.
The elder nodded and immediately led the surviving disciples towards the main gate.
The other elders launched a fierce attack, busy distracting the demonic beasts.
True Person Yunhua saw what they were doing.
However, he instinctively felt that it probably wouldn't work.
Since such monstrous creatures appeared here, there was no reason for them to be allowed to leave.
As expected!
The people from the Wujin Sect stopped just as they reached the gate!
A pale yellow barrier had appeared at the entrance!
The leading elder tentatively attacked it but achieved no effect.
Then he tried attacking the surrounding walls.
"Boom—!"
The moment the spell descended, a faint yellow light flickered on the wall.
"Damn it!"
The elder cursed inwardly.
"Whoosh—!"
Sensing the wind, the leading elder instinctively dodged.
But he was still a step too slow.
He watched as his vision began to flip, receding...
Then he saw his body slowly falling towards the ground...
"Thump!"
"Gurgle..."
The headless corpse fell to the ground.
The head rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
"Fifth Elder!"
The disciples cried out in alarm, their legs trembling with fear!
They hadn't even seen what happened!
They just felt a gust of wind, and the Fifth Elder was decapitated!
A few disciples who were standing close were even splashed with blood!
People always felt an inexplicable fear towards the unknown.
Especially when this thing had instantly killed their elder...
Fortunately, their fear didn't last long.
Within a few breaths, another disciple met the same fate as the leading elder!
Killed with a single blow.
And again, not a shadow was seen.
They didn't even know what had attacked them!
The death of so many disciples naturally drew the attention of the Wujin Sect Master.
But he could only glare helplessly...
The speed of that thing was simply too fast!
So fast that he couldn't react himself!
If the previous attack had targeted him, he couldn't imagine the terrible consequences!
"Third Elder, form the array!"
The Wujin Sect Master gave the order, and the Third Elder quickly began to form the array.
The "array" here referred not to a formation, but to the cultivation technique practiced by the Third Elder.
More precisely, it was a joint cultivation technique of the Third Elder and several other elders.
This technique was not very offensive, but its defense was formidable.
Once the defensive shield was up, the people from the Wujin Sect could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the surviving Void Refinement Realm disciples, they simply collapsed onto the ground...
The battle so far had been far beyond their capabilities.
If the elders hadn't protected them, they would have been dead long ago!
Over at the Yunhua Sect.
The Eldest Elder saw: Well, let's do the same.
He immediately joined forces with several other elders to erect a defensive shield.
However, they were not very proficient in this defensive joint cultivation technique, and the shield's defense was clearly much weaker.
The Wujin Sect's shield could perfectly withstand the bird-people's saliva and the demonic beasts' bites, but theirs was impacted and swayed with each blow...
With this shield, Ye Fan could finally relax.
He had been carried by the Seventh Elder of the Yunhua Sect for so long that his vision was almost seeing stars...
Then, all eyes fell on True Person Yunhua.
At this moment, True Person Yunhua's Zhenqi had accumulated to its peak, and a large vortex of Zhenqi swirled around his body.
The fierce gale made it difficult for everyone in the Yunhua Sect to stand steadily.
Finally!
True Person Yunhua waved his right hand, and his sword fiercely shot towards a bird-person!
Qinghong First Form!
True Person Yunhua's strongest killing move!
After unleashing the ultimate move, True Person Yunhua fell from the sky.
Fortunately, the other elders reacted quickly and caught him, otherwise, he would have been utterly embarrassed.
It was just that this move consumed too much energy from him, so much so that he couldn't maintain flight.
His old face was pale and covered in sweat.
True Person Yunhua ignored recovering his Zhenqi and stared intently at his flying sword.
If this move still didn't work, then recovering his Zhenqi would be meaningless.
For a short period, he would have no combat power at all...
The flying sword instantly reached the chest of a bird-person.
When the bird-person was attacked, a defensive yellow light automatically appeared on its body.
However, this time, the yellow light didn't seem to work as well.
It only lasted for less than half a breath before being pierced by the sword!
"Whoosh—!"
The flying sword pierced through the bird-person's body and flew out for a considerable distance, finally smashing heavily into the distant wall.
The bird-person's body stiffened and it plunged towards the ground!
"Thump!"
Success!
True Person Yunhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What followed was an endless wave of exhaustion...
He struggled to turn his head and looked at Ye Fan.
I've done all I can...
Will you, once again, create a miracle...
"Seventh Elder, please help me retrieve that bird-person's 'corpse'," Ye Fan said softly.
The Seventh Elder nodded, and her figure disappeared.
A few breaths later.
When she returned, she held a puppet's 'corpse' in her hand.
"Injured?"
Seeing the bloodstain on the Seventh Elder's left shoulder, Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
"It's nothing." The Seventh Elder shook her head and said no more.
When everyone was fighting, it was one thing.
But just now, when everyone was hiding in the shield, she had gone out alone and was immediately focused fired by the puppets...
Fortunately, she was fast enough, otherwise she might not have returned.
Ye Fan didn't ask further and began to study the puppet.
Through the large hole in the bird-person's chest, Ye Fan could finally see the inscribed runes hidden within.
Although it was only a small part, it was enough!
With his ability, he could deduce the entire internal rune system of the puppet from this small portion.
"So it's the Ikelos rune system, no wonder it's so powerful..."
