In an instant, the sky changed color, and several more streaks of light tore through the clouds and sped in. Dozens more Nascent Soul stage cultivators appeared in the sky than before.
The oppressive aura of these Nascent Soul stage cultivators swept across the entire airspace like a tidal wave.
Bai Ying gripped the dragon scale tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Beside her, Qi Haoyuan's back was ramrod straight; this late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator also wore a solemn expression—he had roamed the cultivation world for hundreds of years and had never seen such a spectacle.
Beneath the vast sky, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage fluttered in the wind, their various magical treasures shimmering with light, transforming the sky into a magnificent yet dangerous battlefield.
"You hypocrites who call yourselves righteous and respectable!"
Qi Haoyuan roared, "To actually use blood ties to set a trap to lure Bai Ying here, is truly despicable!"
His body was filled with surging spiritual energy, and a faint golden light emanated from his skin, ready to deal with any possible attack.
However, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators scoffed at his accusations. The gray-robed elder at the head of the group stared greedily at the Kongtong Seal in Bai Ying's hand and sneered, "The magic weapons of a Body Integration stage cultivator are meant to be possessed by the most capable."
"Qi Haoyuan, considering that you still have some friendship with my sect, quickly have your disciple hand over the treasure, otherwise all of you from the Lingyin Sect will perish here today!" Before he finished speaking, the surrounding cultivators all summoned their magical artifacts, and killing intent spread out as if it were a tangible thing.
Qi Haoyuan looked up at the densely packed cultivators in the sky, feeling the earth-shattering spiritual energy fluctuations, and secretly thought that something was wrong.
His teeth were practically bleeding from biting them, and he kept glancing at Bai Ying, wishing she would activate the killing formation as soon as possible.
Just then, a pressure several times more terrifying than anyone else present swept in from afar, and space itself was slightly distorted under this pressure.
"There are still Void Refinement stage cultivators around..." Qi Haoyuan's pupils shrank, and he immediately transmitted his voice to Bai Ying, "Bai Ying, hold on, there are still Void Refinement stage experts who haven't entered this formation yet."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying nodded solemnly.
However, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in mid-air couldn't wait any longer. With a shout, several figures shot towards Bai Ying like arrows, their various magical lights weaving into a net that completely blocked her escape route.
Without hesitation, Bai Ying summoned the Kongtong Seal. The ancient seal floated in the air, emitting a soft yet powerful light, which barely blocked the first wave of attacks.
She simultaneously flipped her wrist, and the dragon scales transformed into a streak of light, tracing an eerie trajectory in the air.
Although Bai Ying's protective dragon scales are strong, they are ultimately limited by her cultivation level.
The reason I was able to kill that Nascent Soul cultivator in one strike was because the opponent underestimated me and didn't use any defensive measures.
But now, this group of people are on high alert, surrounded by various protective auras—mysterious iron armor, Bagua heart-protecting mirror, golden light spell seal... layers upon layers of defensive magic artifacts intertwine to form an impregnable wall. Even though the dragon scales are incomparably sharp, they can only injure them, not truly kill them.
"Pfft!" Bai Ying suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.
She dodged the barrage of magical artifacts with ghostly speed, but there were simply too many enemies. As soon as one group of Nascent Soul cultivators was repelled, another group would immediately take their place, the attacks relentless like a tidal wave. Her spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, her breathing became increasingly rapid, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky!
An old man in a gray robe, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, suddenly made a move. A crimson blood blade flew out from his sleeve, its blade wrapped in a chilling aura, and slashed straight at Bai Ying's face!
"clang!"
At the critical moment, Bai Ying summoned the Kongtong Seal. The ancient and heavy bronze seal smashed through the air, shattering the blood-stained blade into pieces!
The gray-robed elder was struck dumb, spitting out a mouthful of blood and staggering back several steps, his face filled with horror. This was a quasi-immortal artifact; how could it shatter with a single blow?
"What?!"
The surrounding cultivators' pupils constricted, and a greedy flame instantly ignited in their eyes.
The Kongtong Seal hovered in mid-air, radiating an ancient and desolate pressure. With just one strike, it destroyed the magic weapon of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
Bai Ying is only at the Nascent Soul stage! If this item falls into the hands of a Nascent Soul or Void Refinement stage expert, wouldn't it be able to shake mountains and rivers and suppress a region?
"Kill her! Seize the treasure!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and in an instant, countless killing intents locked onto Bai Ying, and magical treasures, talismans, and spells poured down like a torrential rain!
Bai Ying's speed increased even more as she frantically dodged all sorts of attacks.
Although Qi Haoyuan and the others tried their best to share the burden for her, their resistance seemed so weak in the face of the overwhelming tide of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
"Watch out on the left!" Qi Haoyuan shouted, his longsword bursting with brilliant light, barely blocking three deadly attacks aimed at Bai Ying.
However, more spells followed, forcing Bai Ying to flee desperately, narrowly avoiding vital points each time.
Her spiritual energy was draining away at an alarming rate, and she felt a sharp pain in her dantian, a sign that her spiritual energy was about to be exhausted.
At this critical moment, the jade pendant within Bai Ying's consciousness suddenly emitted a lustrous blue light. Without hesitation, she activated the secret technique, and the vast spiritual power contained within the jade pendant surged into her meridians like water bursting its banks.
The sudden replenishment of spiritual energy brought some color back to her paper-white face.
"Something's not right!" A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in a purple-gold Daoist robe suddenly shouted sharply, "Logically, she should have exhausted her spiritual energy long ago! But how come she seems to have inexhaustible spiritual energy?"
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly locking onto Bai Ying with the divine senses of all the cultivators present.
To their horror, they discovered that the spiritual energy within this seemingly exhausted Nascent Soul cultivator fluctuated like the tides, consistently maintaining a level sufficient for continued combat.
