Bai Ying raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Qi Haoyuan of the Lingyin Sect with several disciples, as well as the seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators that she had previously subdued.
The seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators had complex expressions. Their soul blood was controlled by Bai Ying; if Bai Ying died, their souls would also be scattered. Therefore, they had no choice but to come.
Qi Haoyuan was extremely anxious and hurried towards the Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
“Senior, this is a disciple of my Lingyin Sect. I beg you to show mercy. If you need the Chaos Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit, I can have my disciple hand it over.”
Qi Haoyuan spoke urgently, his voice trembling slightly.
He was well aware of the urgency of the situation, but Bai Ying probably didn't realize that the hidden dangers here were far beyond imagination.
Not only was the Void Refinement stage cultivator in front of them eyeing them covetously, but there were also several Void Refinement stage experts hiding around watching the spectacle, and many more were rushing towards this side.
That Chaos Spirit Fruit is a deadly poison; he must get Bai Ying to hand it over as soon as possible.
But before Bai Ying could speak, the cultivator at the Void Refinement stage snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain, and said:
“If she had obediently handed over to my junior brother just now, I might have spared her life. But now, she first cut off my junior brother's arm and then provoked me. How could I possibly spare her? Anyway, killing her will still give me the Chaos Spirit Fruit.”
The words of the Void Refinement cultivator struck everyone like a heavy hammer. Qi Haoyuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his hopeful eyes dimmed. He wanted to plead for mercy again, but the Void Refinement cultivator had already lost patience and directly unleashed a palm strike at Bai Ying.
This palm strike carried a surge of spiritual energy, producing a sharp whistling sound in the air. Wherever the palm wind passed, the space itself seemed as fragile as thin paper, cracking slightly as if it would be torn apart at any moment, demonstrating the terrifying power contained within this strike.
Compared to his previous attack, it was worlds apart.
Seeing this, Qi Haoyuan and his companions did not hesitate at all. They all summoned their magical artifacts, and in an instant, the various magical artifacts shone brightly.
They gritted their teeth, veins bulging on their foreheads, and exerted all their spiritual power to hastily intercept this fatal blow.
Several streams of spiritual energy intertwined, forming a solid defensive barrier that met the oncoming palm strike head-on.
With a deafening roar, it was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart, or thunder exploding in one's ears.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from the point of explosion and spread wildly outwards. In an instant, dust filled the air, and flying sand and stones filled the entire space, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Under the impact of this powerful force, Qi Haoyuan and his companions were powerless to resist. Like kites with broken strings, they were involuntarily and violently knocked away.
They traced arcs through the air before crashing heavily to the ground. Several people lay there, their bodies contorted, blood gushing from their mouths, their faces contorted in agony.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ying rushed over immediately.
"Elder Qi, are you alright?"
She crouched down, trying to help Qi Haoyuan up. Qi Haoyuan shook his head painfully, his breath weak but urgent as he whispered to Bai Ying:
"I'll stop him in a moment. Drop the Chaos Spirit Fruit and run away immediately. That Chaos Spirit Fruit is not for you to possess now. If you keep it, you will surely die!"
Qi Haoyuan's eyes were filled with determination; he was already prepared to exchange his own life for Bai Ying's.
After all, Bai Ying's talent is too outstanding. Given time, such a prodigy will surely soar to great heights on the path of cultivation and far surpass himself.
He felt it was worth it to exchange his life for Bai Ying's future.
After saying this, he forced himself to stand up and walked towards the Void Refinement stage cultivator. He gritted his teeth and whispered to Bai Ying, "I'm entrusting the Spirit Hidden Sect to you from now on. Go quickly!"
The cultivators behind Qi Haoyuan nodded in agreement. Since they wouldn't survive if Bai Ying died anyway, they might as well fight it out; perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
But no one expected that Bai Ying had no intention of leaving at all. With a stubborn look in her eyes, she slowly stood up and walked directly in front of Qi Haoyuan, blocking them with her body.
Seeing this, Qi Haoyuan became very anxious and wanted to reach out and pull Bai Ying away. Now was not the time to act rashly!
Bai Ying's actions will not only fail to save herself, but will also cost her her life in vain. This is undoubtedly courting death!
But just then, they heard Bai Ying say to the old man beside her:
"Senior, if you don't make a move soon, I'm going to die here."
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the inconspicuous old man behind Bai Ying.
The old man looked extremely ordinary, dressed in simple clothes, and exuded ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivation fluctuations. He seemed to be at most a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Now that Bai Ying had actually asked him to help, the onlookers couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and confusion.
Some people even whispered among themselves, wondering if she had lost her mind.
At this critical moment of life and death, they placed their hopes on such an ordinary old man.
Unexpectedly, the old man sighed slightly, a hint of helplessness on his face, then stepped forward and calmly addressed the cultivator in the Void Refinement stage:
“I didn’t want to concern myself with this mundane world, but…” He paused, glanced around at the people around him, and sighed, “Those of you who don’t want to die, you should all leave.”
Upon hearing the old man's words, the people present looked at each other in disbelief, then burst into laughter.
