Lan Hua embarks on another journey of escape.

However, this time, he wasn't so lucky.

The strength of the West Hall of the Yinluo Sect far surpasses that of the East Hall, with two experts at the Transformation Realm below the Hall Master alone.

In just half a day, Lan Hua was intercepted by Yang Bao and Fang Shou at the lakeside.

The lake is very large, with a hillside on one side, covered with scattered rocks.

There were also more than ten Yinluo Sect members with Pure Yuan Realm cultivation scattered on the hillside.

At this moment, Lan Hua was truly in a predicament, surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind.

Yang Bao gently opened a fan and waved it casually, looking relaxed and carefree, seemingly not worried at all about his prey escaping.

Lan Hua had already nocked the black iron arrows onto the bowstring, ready to shoot anyone who stepped forward.

Although Yang Bao and Fang Shou were quite far from Lan Hua, a full hundred feet away, the pressure they exerted on Lan Hua was by no means small.

Lan Hua's expression turned solemn, and she sensed something was wrong.

Yang Bao's cultivation level is significantly higher than Zhou An's, at least reaching the eighth level of the Transformation Realm, and it is not impossible that he will break through to the Core Formation Realm soon.

Fortunately, Lan Hua still had four Cloud Piercing Arrows, which put his mind at ease.

Yang Bao laughed and said, "Kid, you're pretty good. As long as you obediently come back to Yinluo Sect with me, I can guarantee you'll be fine. On the contrary, you'll gain the sect leader's favor!"

The sound wasn't loud, but Lan Hua heard it clearly; it was deafening.

Lan Hua snorted and ignored her, saying in a deep voice, "Who are you? Where is that old eunuch Zhou An?"

Yang Bao shook his fan. "I am Yang Bao, the master of the Western Hall of the Yinluo Sect!"

"Zhou An, humph, he's gone back to receive his punishment!"

"What? We've offended the East Hall, so why is the West Hall here too?" Lan Hua was speechless.

"West Hall? Good heavens, how come this is so similar to the Eastern and Western Depots of the Ming Dynasty?"

Lan Hua said loudly, "What if I don't obediently go back with you?"

Yang Bao closed his fan. "Then we'll capture you and take you back. You're destined to be castrated!"

Lan Hua's legs tightened, and she felt a cool sensation below.

I don't think you'll have that chance!

As Lan Hua spoke, she aimed an arrow at Fang Shou behind her.

call out!

boom!

Fang Shou blocked the black iron arrow with a single strike, and was consequently sent flying several feet away.

Yang Bao's eyes turned cold, and with a whoosh, his fan unfolded, sending several poisoned needles flying towards Lan Hua.

"Hmm? A sneaky tactic!"

Fortunately, Lan Hua had mastered the skill of seeing a thousand miles, and he saw through all of Yang Bao's tricks.

Lan Hua took a few light steps, spun around a few times, and unleashed the Heaven-Opening Palm, dodging all the poison needles.

"Good lad, you've got some skills!"

Yang Bao, fan in his right hand, charged toward Lan Hua.

Lan Hua wouldn't give him a chance to get close, and fired another black iron talisman arrow, aiming straight at Yang Bao.

Yang Bao slashed out with his fan, unleashing a massive burst of blade energy.

boom!

The blade's energy shattered, and the talisman arrow was knocked away.

"Hmm? Such powerful sword energy. If we don't break through this sword energy, even with the Cloud Piercing Arrow, we're doomed!"

Lan Hua steeled her resolve, nocking two black iron arrows onto the bowstring simultaneously, unleashing the "Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea" technique.

Two black iron arrows, carrying immense force, struck Yang Bao's two vital points.

With a flick of his fan, Yang Bao unleashed a blade of energy that instantly pierced the air and intercepted an arrow.

Even with his high level of cultivation, he didn't have time to unleash a second fan and could only barely use the fan to defend himself.

boom!

Yang Bao was also sent flying by the arrow, his right hand holding the fan feeling incredibly numb and tingly.

"A great opportunity!"

Lan Hua summoned the Cloud Piercing Arrow, infused it with yin energy, and fired it at Yang Bao with the bow fully drawn.

The golden arrow arrived in an instant.

Yang Bao was horrified and had no choice but to use his fan to block again.

boom!

The explosion occurred on the spot, and the huge shockwave shattered Yang Bo's protective aura, blasting him away.

Just then, Fang Shou slashed down with his sword.

As the massive blade energy slashed down, Lan Hua quickly dodged to the side.

A deep trench was cleaved out of the spot.

Fang Shou's sudden arrival plunged Lan Hua into a dangerous situation.

Archers can only unleash their full power and be safest by maintaining a sufficient distance from the enemy.

At this moment, Fang Shou was almost engaged in close combat with Lan Hua, his longsword sweeping and powerful, his sword energy bursting forth in endless waves, his sword aura thick and sharp.

Lan Hua was only at the eighth level of the Pure Yuan Realm, and after only a few rounds, she had already been struck twice.

One of the knife wounds was only a hair's breadth away from a vital spot, and the blade's energy had even penetrated his meridians, causing him unbearable pain.

Suffering from severe internal injuries, Lan Hua hastily summoned the Silver Talisman Brush.

After eliminating Bai Ye of the Luo Fu Sect, Lan Hua gave up the position of sect leader, but the silver talisman brush was, after all, an heirloom of the Lan family, so she put it away.

Now, as a second-rank talisman master, wielding a silver talisman pen, his talismans are even more powerful.

With a flick of his talisman brush, a net-like defensive talisman appeared in front of him.

Fang Shou was surprised, not expecting that Lan Hua was actually a talisman master.

"So what if you're a talisman master? You'll still die in close combat!"

With a single slash, his Yuan Transformation Realm cultivation shattered the defensive talisman.

The blade's energy sent Lan Hua flying, leaving a trail of blood.

Lan Hua took the opportunity to distance herself from Fang Shou.

At this distance, even if Fang Shou used Earth Shattering Slash, it would pose no threat to him.

Lan Hua fired three black iron talisman arrows in succession, aiming at Fang Shou.

Fang Shou swung his sword down, but was knocked back several feet. His right arm could no longer support him, and he was in excruciating pain.

But then a second arrow came.

Fang Shou used all his strength to unleash the Earthly Defeat Divine Skill, barely managing to block the black iron talisman arrow, but his protective aura was nearly shattered.

laugh!

The third arrow pierced his heart and created a large crater behind him.

Fang Shou died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

Lan Hua felt relieved to see her two powerful enemies fall.

Just then, an arrow struck, aimed straight at Lan Hua's heart.

Lan Hua tried to dodge but couldn't, and managed to turn her body to the side.

laugh!

An arrow pierced his right shoulder, spraying blood and bone fragments.

Lan Hua stumbled and fell to the ground, only to see a man standing on the hillside. It was Wang Yuan, the archer in black.

Wang Yuan hit the target with his arrow, a sly smile appearing on his lips, as if he were about to obtain the precious bow.

With a thud, Wang Yuan knelt down on the ground.

He had already been severely injured by Lan Hua, and that arrow had exhausted his last bit of energy.

As long as Lan Hua is severely injured, that will be enough. With the rest of Xitang's forces joining the attack, Lan Hua will surely be captured alive.

Lan Hua inwardly cursed herself for being careless.

Although the arrow didn't kill him, it pierced his right scapula, making it difficult for him to exert force with his right arm.

Even with his precious bow in hand, he had no chance to use it.

All of this happened so suddenly that within moments, all the people who had been fighting were on the ground.

The people in the West Hall on the hillside were still in a daze, standing there blankly, not daring to make any move.

In the distance, Yang Bao coughed and struggled to climb over.

The fan was already destroyed, with several fan ribs still stuck in his body. His right hand was covered in blood, and two fingers were missing.

Yang Bao looked at his right hand and shouted.

"My precious fan! My precious fan! You bastard, you actually ruined my precious fan!"

"This is a precious artifact that I obtained with great difficulty, and you've destroyed it just like that!"

Lan Hua stood up, clutching her right shoulder, and snorted, "She's still alive? She's really tough!"

Yang Bao suddenly sneered, "Don't worry, even so, I won't kill you. I'll castrate you myself! Castrate you cleanly!"

"Guards, seize this scum!"

Lan Hua gave a bitter smile; this was truly the end for them.

The group that charged down included many people at the eighth or ninth level of the Pure Yuan Realm, whom he was no match for in his current state.

"Brother Grey! Where are you? Could you please answer me?"

"Hongmei! You have to think of something right now!"
