Chapter 1398: Chapter 76: Encirclement! Yemo Strikes! [Bonus Chapters 7, 8, and 9 for Silver Alliance Immortal Brother 123]
"Chief Protector, do you need me to send Feng Yi and Feng Er to accompany you in action?"
"No need, have them stay here to protect you, you are more important."
Sun Wutian snorted with a yin-yang eccentric tone and soared into the sky.
The swirling demon fog headed towards the Southeast.
Feng Yun was somewhat perplexed, like a monk who couldn’t grasp the situation.
He was somewhat confused; given his own status, even though the old demons in the sect were quite senior, they all greeted him kindly.
Even Duan Xiyang wouldn’t raise an eyebrow or glare at me.
What wrong medicine did Sun Wutian take? He scowls at me as if I did something wrong or offended him somehow?
Heck, you’ve been a zombie underground for so long and just emerged, I don’t recall offending you in any way.
As Sun Wutian set out, the Guardian Headquarters still hadn’t received news from the Southeast.
...
Fang Che continuously tracked before and after.
Constantly sending messages to the Yin Shen Palace to verify location.
But Yin Shen Palace was almost constantly in combat, with location direction changing often, and later it was changing four or five times every fifteen minutes, leaving no time to stop and wait for him.
The encirclement was completely formed!
Fang Che felt an increasing urgency in his heart.
He knew the final moment was upon them.
If they can’t make contact or escape in time, once dawn comes, he too will fall here!
Seventy li away from Bai zhang peak.
This seventy li of mountain road will be a chasm!
The sounds of battle came from ahead, lasting continuously this time.
Clearly, Yin Shen Palace had fallen into an evenly matched siege.
Fang Che quietly snuck closer.
Three breaths and still fiercely fighting.
The battle was stalemated.
Fang Che knew well, if the battle was this stalemated, Yin Shen Palace was finished.
Because... the strength of the Guardians continued to increase. But stuck in the battle was only Yin Shen Palace alone.
If he couldn’t break free when the enemy numbers were few, then with more it’s even more impossible!
With resolve, he gripped his long sword and charged forward like an arrow.
Despair was already sinking into Yin Shen Palace’s heart.
The opponent encountered now was the Master of the Southeast Headquarters War Platform, Xiong Rushan, and his eight masters of the platform.
Just Xiong Rushan’s cultivation alone is daunting, not to mention paired with eight great masters!
Yin Shen Palace certainly wished to flee, but he had no opportunity to use the Blood Burning Skill, caught in a narrow encounter and surrounded by nine masters.
The nine, armed with a millennium of joint combat experience, quickly adapted, cutting him off, firmly locking in Yin Shen Palace.
Xiong Rushan was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, this tremendous achievement fell into the hands of our war platform.
Had others achieved great feats, how would the war platform, whose core is battle, maintain its reputation?
Seeing the battle stabilized, Xiong Rushan abandoned the idea of calling for reinforcements.
Our war platform will claim this large piece of cake single-handedly!
In the current situation, nine people can absolutely accomplish this.
Yin Shen Palace was exhausted from prolonged battle, while the nine were fresh reinforcements.
Yin Shen Palace had fallen completely into disadvantage.
The advantage-disadvantage situation was stark.
"Take steady steps, don’t be reckless!"
As he led the battle himself, Xiong Rushan instructed in a deep voice: "Though he’s the leader of Yixin Sect, in a desperate counterattack, he surely could pull one as a scapegoat, be cautious and don’t give him that chance!"
"Yes!"
Xiong Rushan wielded a heavy stick, with immense force, but in his hand it appeared as light and agile as a lampshade grass.
Yin Shen Palace had battled for half the night.
He could only strive to hold on.
What he achieved was avoiding any bodily injury.
In such wild mountain combat, once wounded and blood flowed, under such seasoned Jianghu pursuits, it would shine brighter than a beacon in the night.
In that case, there’d be no escape.
Entrapped now, Yin Shen Palace surrendered everything.
The Blood Spirit Seven Swords were wielded relentlessly, and occasionally the advanced Blood Spirit Seven Swords forced Xiong Rushan back a step.
"If only I could grasp the Fifth Form!"
An endless sorrow and regret churned in Yin Shen Palace’s heart.
If I can fully integrate the advanced version of Blood Spirit Seven Swords, then I might have some confidence in escaping this calamity.
Unfortunately, now I can only briefly defend myself amidst the siege.
"It seems that this time, I’m going to die here..."
Yin Shen Palace continued fighting while calculating, his gaze gradually becoming fierce, a hint of hysterical killing aura, flickering indistinctly.
"Watch out!"
Xiong Rushan was constantly keeping an eye on Yin Shen Palace, suddenly issuing a warning: "The moment the dog jumps over the wall is approaching!"
Suddenly, the eight people around burst into laughter: "Altar master, rest assured, a mad dog poses no threat to us!"
"Yin Sect Leader, don’t harbor those beautiful thoughts."
Xiong Rushan squinted his eyes and laughed coldly: "Roaming the Jianghu for a lifetime, dying by my hand, will not disgrace you, Yin Sect Leader. Why make it undignified at the last moment of your life?"
Yin Shen Palace’s face turned pale, his white hair trembling amidst the vibrations.
The opponent’s heavy weapons just happened to restrain his light and agile long sword, each collision feeling extremely uncomfortable.
But his face remained calm: "Xiong Rushan, wanting my life without paying a price? You really think I, Yin Shen Palace, am made of mud?"
Xiong Rushan wielded his heavy stave, calm as a mountain: "Yin Shen Palace, if you were at your peak state, we might not be able to keep you, but now you’re spent, fighting through the night, your elixirs are all used up, aren’t they?"
Yin Shen Palace chuckled coldly: "Xiong Rushan, stop wasting words, whether my resources are for this Sect Master to worry about or not is none of your concern. This Sect Master’s life-saving elixir is for a rainy day; you’re not yet capable enough!"
But he knew in his heart.
His recovery elixirs were already used up.
An entire night of relentless combat.
The recovery elixirs below the Venerable Saint level given by Vice Sect Master Yan, he carried two, had already consumed them.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to fight his way here!
The power of the entire Guardian Southeast Headquarters was indeed terrifying.
Xiong Rushan laughed heartily, suddenly activating his entire cultivation, like a giant splitting the mountains, engaging Yin Shen Palace with sheer force!
At this moment, his fighting style truly resembled an Ancient Bear.
Yin Shen Palace tried his best to dodge, but Xiong Rushan’s stave connected heaven and earth; after several strokes, his momentum became even more awe-inspiring, the entire forest seemed to spin along with the stave, crazily pounding onto Yin Shen Palace.
With a clang...
The sword and the stave finally collided.
Yin Shen Palace let out a tragic scream, spraying blood as he flew back.
Xiong Rushan also groaned, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, stepping back three steps, but in retreat, he roared fiercely: "Finish him off!"
The eight great masters simultaneously charged forward fearlessly.
Yin Shen Palace met the opponent’s stave head-on, his innards shook, as if struck by lightning, his body went numb.
Seeing the blades and swords approaching, he found himself unable to muster Spiritual Energy, his Dantian empty.
He smiled bitterly, his face remained calm.
Today, it’s just over.
Just as he was about to close his eyes.
Suddenly...
A monstrous killing aura, surged like sea waves, soared skyward.
A sword light suddenly ascended.
Illuminating the night sky.
Evil Qi like raging waves, exploded violently!
Fang Che gathered all his cultivation, all his killing aura, and unleashed it fully.
The advanced version of Blood Spirit Seven Swords, merged into one.
At this moment, the bright moon in the sky seemed to turn crimson.
The stars in the sky seemed to follow and fall.
With the newly acquired two Saint level recovery spirit pills held in his mouth.
One man and one sword, like thunder and lightning, rushed into the battle circle.
Clang clang clang clang... successively clashing with the weapons of four people.
The four retreated furiously.
"Master!"
Fang Che charged onward, grabbing Yin Shen Palace, stuffing a Saint level recovery spirit pill into his mouth.
Simultaneously, he spat a mouthful of fresh blood in fury.
Blood Burning Skill!
His body flew like a meteor, swooshing through the treetops, like a gust of black wind, instantaneously several hundred yards away.
Only now did blood start to emerge from the seven orifices of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
His appearance was tragic.
Even though he used his full strength, simultaneously colliding with four high-grade supreme masters, he suffered severe shock.
Despite the spirit pill in his mouth instantly dissolving one pill, the shock received was still severely injuring.
Behind him came an infuriated shout: "Yemo!"
