Awoo…
Roars erupted from all directions as ghoul, corpse monsters, and ice spirits attacked the stone platform from every angle.
Our team, excluding Yun Long and Yun Hu, was with me, responsible for defending the southwest.
As I watched the approaching fiends, my expression darkened.
“Everyone, the fiends are here!”
“Hahaha, let’s have a grand fight.”
“…”
Everyone’s morale was high, and they responded enthusiastically.
But at that moment, ten ghoul spirits attacked.
Trailing black mist behind them, their faces contorted in ferocity, they lunged towards us.
Instantly, an icy chill enveloped us.
Seeing this, I raised my sword.
“Seeking death.”
As the sword descended, the power of Dao rippled.
The lead ghoul spirit was instantly annihilated by my strike.
The others around me also unleashed their attacks: Old Mo with a thunderous axe, Gu Qian Yue with a sharp sword, and the Meng Fang and Meng You brothers with two Dao talismans.
Li Cong also unleashed a secret technique, slaying the attacking ghoul spirits, scattering their souls.
However, we had no chance to catch our breath before a horde of corpse monsters charged.
They raised their sharp, foul-smelling claws and swiped fiercely at our faces.
Seeing this, I formed a sword finger with my left hand and grunted.
“Heaven and Earth Without Limit, Heaven and Earth Borrow Method, Command!”
Sword Control Technique.
Two peach wood swords shot out from their scabbards, flying towards the corpse monsters.
Several corpse monsters were instantly killed in the first encounter.
But I felt no triumph, for more corpse monsters, ghoul spirits, and ice demons were already closing in.
I could only cast more incantations, fighting and protecting my companions.
Everyone held the front line.
Facing the tidal wave of fiendish attacks, they stood firm and refused to retreat.
Shouts of defiance and determination echoed.
Yun Long and Yun Hu, responsible for breaking the formation, also continuously increased their speed.
Every second of delay could mean the death of a fellow Daoist; their pressure was immense.
In the fierce battle, lives were soon lost.
A disciple of the Maoshan sect had his head crushed by a corpse demon’s bite.
A rogue cultivator was impaled through the chest by a ghoul spirit.
A disciple of the Wudang sect had his arm frozen and shattered by an ice demon.
Yet, the formation remained unbroken.
As soon as one person fell, another immediately rushed forward to fill the gap.
Perhaps in this Daoist alliance’s martial world, there were friction and grudges between various sects and clans.
But in the end, they were all righteous individuals, fellow Daoists of the white path.
They were in a different camp from these fiends.
Now, united by a common enemy, they fought fiercely against these fiends.
After about ten minutes of intense battle, the ground before me was littered with the corpses of over ten corpse demons and ice demons, and I had also killed more than ten ghoul spirits.
And that was just what I had personally killed. The most powerful, Senior Bai Daozi, had already slain over a hundred fiends.
His thunder techniques were terrifying.
Furthermore, Senior Bai Daozi possessed the ultimate fire spiritual root, making him a master of fire and lightning.
Often, after his lightning, flames would follow, filling the air with a thick, burnt stench.
Even so, the fiendish assault showed no sign of relenting.
Wave after wave, their numbers seemed endless.
This demonstrated the immense pressure and the ferocity of the enemy's onslaught.
However, Yun Long and Yun Hu lived up to their reputation as prodigies in this field.
Just as everyone’s pressure was mounting and they were struggling to resist, their formation on the verge of collapse.
The two finally rearranged the Nine Palaces sequence.
At that moment, the golden Nine Palaces disk began to spin.
As the Nine Palaces disk rotated, the surrounding swamp began to sink, revealing swirling vortices.
Simultaneously, the stone platform trembled, accompanied by the grinding sound of gears.
It was as if enormous gears were turning beneath the surrounding swamp.
Along with these turning sounds, a straight path emerged from the swamp.
“It’s here, the path to survival has appeared!”
“That’s right, this direction is Qian Kun.”
“Hahaha, the path to survival has appeared, we can leave this godforsaken place.”
“…”
Morale surged, and everyone cheered.
Senior Bai Daozi also shouted at this moment.
“Charge out of the Misty Marsh!”
Upon hearing this, a great cheer erupted from everyone.
“Kill!”
Their voices scattered the surrounding mist.
Senior Bai Daozi took the lead, charging directly towards the path to survival.
But the path was already densely packed with fiends.
Corpse monsters roared, ice monsters growled, and ghoul spirits wailed.
The mournful cries sent chills down one’s spine.
Seeing this, Old Mo said to me.
“Old Qin, we, the Demon Exorcist Duo, cannot fall behind. Let’s charge up and clear the way for everyone.”
Old Mo’s blood was ignited, and he was incredibly excited.
A smile curved my lips.
“Good! That’s exactly what I intended.”
Saying that, I brandished my twin swords and prepared to charge.
But the other teammates behind me stepped forward.
“What, have you forgotten about us teammates? I, Gu Qian Yue, am also willing to lead the charge!”
Gu Qian Yue spoke. Although she was small, her presence was mighty.
“We brothers will not lag behind either.”
The Meng Fang and Meng You brothers, holding a thick stack of talismans, spoke. They were adept at talisman techniques and were quite formidable among the younger generation.
“Although my cultivation is the weakest, our Guangxi Wolf Path will not drag anyone down.”
Li Cong’s expression was resolute, showing no sign of retreat.
“And us, fellow disciples!”
Yun Long and Yun Hu, holding their Sun and Moon Twin Wheels, also rushed over.
I looked back at them and exchanged a smile with Old Mo.
Old Mo became even more enthusiastic, his chuunibyo blood reignited.
“One bag of rice to carry upstairs, fellow Daoists, let’s kill them all!”
With that, Old Mo activated his lightning techniques, and electricity crackled around him.
I wasted no words, unleashing my Yin-Yang Precious Orbs, which circled me, erupting with Yin and Yang energy.
Seeing this, the others were not to be outdone.
Everyone unleashed their full cultivation, displaying their strongest powers.
Seeing this, smiles spread across everyone’s faces, filled with composure and determination.
“Charge out!”
I raised my arm and shouted, brandishing my long sword and charging forward.
Old Mo and the others, seeing this, let out a roar of “Kill.”
The momentum of our team was overwhelming. With that roar.
All the surrounding Daoists looked towards us.
Seeing me lead the charge with such formidable power, they not only made way but also became more invigorated.
They joined in with enthusiastic support.
“Charge out!”
The voices rose higher and higher, and with our team as the arrowhead, we followed directly behind Senior Bai Daozi.
Although the Senior was powerful, the fiends surrounding him were too numerous.
As the saying goes, a single fist cannot defeat four hands; over a hundred fiends surrounded him.
Without assistance, it would be difficult for him to advance or retreat.
But now, I charged forward, protected by the Yin-Yang Orbs, a wooden sword in my left hand, a fire sword in my right, and the Golden Sword attacking from afar.
My defense and offense were impeccable.
Facing the onslaught of fiendish monsters, I cut them down on sight, killing them instantly.
Beside me was Old Mo, behind me were Yun Long and Yun Hu, and further back were young talents like Li Chunlong, Wu Kehang, Wang Qi, Zhang Zhi, and Xia Qiu Xi.
In an instant, the fiends suffered countless casualties, their wails constant.
To my left and right, and behind me, lay the corpses of countless fiends.
In this manner, we forcefully carved a bloody path through the Nine Palaces Misty Array…
