The battle seemed to have entered a stalemate. The cultivation level of the parasitic elder did not seem to be as high as that of the sect leader. Moreover, he was affected by the spiritual energy of the central formation. The tearing pain in his meridians caused his attacks to often come to a halt.
On Xiao Bai's side, although the cultivation level of Murong An and other disciples could not match that of the elder individually, they were outnumbered. Although it was also painful for them to be infused with spiritual energy, they could still hold the opponent back by taking turns to attack him when they had time. However, Murong An and others did not dare to leave their defensive range because they were worried about the three elders who could not move and the disciples behind them. In addition, they had to watch the "foolishly" standing body of the master and not give the parasitic elder any chance to take advantage. As a result, the two sides fought and it became what it is now.
Xiao Bai was watching from the side, so anxious!
The pain in her meridians had made it almost impossible for her to straighten her back, and coupled with her swollen dantian, she could feel that her body was almost reaching its limit. If this continued, she would explode and die before she could find a solution to the problem!
Moreover, it can be seen that many disciples in Murong An's team are almost reaching their limits. Several disciples are already lying on the ground, curled up in pain, and some have even started to have cracked skin and bleeding!
"This, this formation, hasn't it sucked all the spiritual energy out of this continent? I, I can't hold on any longer!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Qizhen looked up at the surging spiritual energy in the sky and said weakly, "We have to hold on a little longer!"
Xiao Bai turned his head and saw that the three elders were in a miserable state. Although the spiritual energy that was madly rushing into their bodies could be transmitted to the disciples behind them, as the spiritual energy transfer stations, they did not seem to be feeling well either. One could tell from the bleeding corners of their mouths.
Xiao Bai sighed and could only grit his teeth and hold on for a while longer. After all, he had already walked ninety-nine steps, and he had to hold on to this last step no matter what.
The elder who was squeezed into a corner of the formation showed a sinister smile on his face. When Xiao Bai saw it, he felt something was wrong and immediately shouted:
"careful!"
The elder turned around and chopped at the center of the formation behind him with his palm! If this center was destroyed, the entire formation would collapse, and the spiritual energy they had originally absorbed would be instantly countered by the formation!
By that time, everyone in the formation will be dead without a burial place!
"Stop him!" Shu Ling and Murong An shouted in Xiao Bai's sea of consciousness.
Xiao Bai pounced forward reflexively, and the elder's palm hit her right shoulder!
Xiao Bai only felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, and then half of her body lost consciousness. She was slapped away by the palm. Fortunately, Murong An arrived and caught her!
Seeing this, the other disciples who were able to move no longer cared about anything else and rushed forward to surround the parasitic elder!
Murong An put Xiao Bai down and forced himself to walk towards the surrounded elder. Without caring about his own safety, the group of people started fighting again.
They can't let him destroy the formation again!
Perhaps it was because of their anger that they unleashed their unlimited potential, or perhaps it was because of the excessive spiritual energy that filled their bodies, causing their cultivation to grow rapidly. The fierce battle just happened to provide a way for the spiritual energy running rampant in their bodies to be vented. The elder who was parasitized was beaten back step by step by them, and was finally stabbed in the shoulder by Murong An with a sword, nailing him firmly to the ground!
Xiao Bai leaned weakly on the edge of the formation, her whole body numb with pain. She even had difficulty breathing. Then she felt a tightness in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Only then did she feel her breathing became a little smoother!
Damn! This was the second time she'd been so badly injured. It felt like she'd been on the brink of death again. But thankfully, Murong An had avenged that blow for her. Even more delightful was the fact that the central formation had already drained the entire continent's spiritual energy!
She looked up at the sky above the white light column. The large white gas mass formed by the gathering of spiritual energy there was gradually shrinking, and finally shrank into a ball of white cloud-like gas, pouring down into the bodies of everyone in the formation.
The operation of the central formation has finally ended! Now all the spiritual energy in this world is sealed in the bodies of these few people. As long as they can successfully seal the rift between the two worlds, this world will never be invaded by dark matter!
As soon as the central formation ended, all the disciples inside and outside the formation collapsed on the ground. They had finally escaped.
Elder Qizhen and others showed a smile of surviving a disaster.
Their old bones would die if they died, but these low-level sect disciples, who hadn't entered the central formation, had limited spiritual energy in their bodies. As long as they could seal the spiritual energy within them, they could live out their lives in peace and stability. Now, all they had to do was for Murong An and his men to seal the underground caves of the high-level dark creatures and sacrifice themselves to seal the rift between the two realms.
Elder Changhong and Elder Qizhen supported each other and stood up, walking towards Murong An and others.
"Children, now is the time for you to make a sacrifice. I know it is difficult and cruel, but this is your mission. Sacrifice for the future of this continent..."
Xiao Bai, lying on the side, sneered and rolled his eyes. "Is there no other way? You keep asking people to sacrifice themselves for the future of this continent. Why haven't you thought about their future? Is it just because they are orphans and have no parents to support them?! Cough cough cough!"
A bit emotional, Xiao Bai choked on his own blood, coughed a few times, and spat out a mouthful of blood. After calming down, he taunted again, "You let your own children hide outside the formation, and even sacrificed yourself to leave them a way out. Then you try hard to brainwash the disciples you picked up, and make them dedicate themselves to the world! Hey, why didn't I see you sacrifice yourself and stand up when we were fighting the nightmare just now? You almost got beaten to death!"
Elder Changhong blushed a little after being challenged by this. "We did that for the disciples behind us. If we stand up, they will all explode and die!"
Xiao Bai sneered, "Why don't you think about this? Once the formation is destroyed, we'll all explode and die, and they'll just die with us! If only one of you could help kill Nightmare, maybe even sacrificing some disciples would save the majority! You won't even consider this? Is it because your children and grandchildren are among those disciples outside that you can't bear to sacrifice any of them? Are you willing to sacrifice these orphans in the formation?"
Some of the disciples not far away murmured quietly: "Hasn't the Nightmare been subdued? There's no need for the elders to take action..."
"Bah!" Xiao Bai sneered. "Subdue?! If I hadn't been keeping an eye on him and moving quickly, everyone would be lying on the ground now!"
Elder Changhong and Elder Qizhen knew they were in the wrong and remained silent.
Xiao Bai was just jokingly talking when he suddenly heard another elder say, "Things have come to this point. They must seal the rift between the two worlds, and you too!"
Xiao Bai:...
What?!
