As for the fire python, although it was incredibly powerful, it was beaten into a panic and fled in terror by the combined forces of two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators and nearly two hundred low-level rogue cultivators.
It was only because of the powerful physique of the demon beasts, with their thick skin and tough flesh, that they were able to survive.
As long as the spatial passage is kept blocked, the main force of the Cloud Soaring Sect will not be able to get out.
With their advantage of suppression, they will be able to take down Lin Xiuyuan and that fire python sooner or later.
Even if things change, so what?
The Zishan Medicinal Herb Garden is not far from here, and the news has already spread; reinforcements may be on their way.
As cultivators, they could easily understand the intricacies of the matter with a little thought.
The shock caused by Lin Xiuyuan's astonishing combat power quickly dissipated.
Instead, it became even more aggressive.
There was a strong sense of unity and concerted effort, as the force continuously gathered and pressed down.
The pressure on Lin Xiuyuan was increasing, and he no longer had the strength to unleash the Falling Mountain Hammer. From being evenly matched before, he was now being suppressed by Zhang Lou's magic sword.
Fortunately, the Falling Hammer is a powerful artifact. Even though it has some shortcomings, it is only at a disadvantage for the time being and has not been defeated.
Because he was under attack from multiple forces, he faced them alone. After more than ten rounds, he continuously exerted all his magical power, causing his dantian meridians to be greatly overloaded.
The flow of magical power inevitably became somewhat stagnant, leaving the user struggling to cope.
The large expanse of yellow sand that had formed successively was clearly visibly smaller.
This also means that Lin Xiuyuan has endured more attacks, and his aura has begun to weaken. Various residual forces and counter-forces have been transmitted one after another, and he has been unable to concentrate on resolving them. This has caused some disorder in the spiritual energy within his body, and even a trace of blood has spilled from the corner of his mouth.
However, Lin Xiuyuan remained calm, his eyes still composed, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather a hint of anticipation.
"According to the calculations, they should be able to launch a counterattack in about fifteen minutes..."
now.
The third group of figures had already appeared at the spatial passage.
They were all cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, as well as Foundation Establishment elites.
A group of cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, led by three powerful Purple Mansion Perfection experts—Pang Hongbo, Zhong Kangshun, and Ge Yun—held the line at the front, while He Chengji, Xu Zeda, and the other three elders joined forces to assist in the defense.
It is gradually stepping out of its doors, providing a foothold for newcomers.
Although it was caused by a series of combined offensives, there were also multiple attack formations that continuously unleashed terrifying power.
With such a massive offensive, it's safe to say that even an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would likely be unable to withstand it head-on without suffering any damage.
Naturally, the three peak experts of the Purple Mansion realm in the clouds also suffered injuries to varying degrees under the relentless and wave-after-wave onslaught.
But he wasn't seriously injured; he was only wounded.
With the remaining Purple Mansion stage experts joining forces to resist and throwing out various spirit talisman arrays, the situation gradually stabilized.
As Lin Xiuyuan predicted, in another quarter of an hour, a considerable number of disciples, under the cover of a group of Purple Mansion stage cultivators, would be able to successfully pass through the secret realm passage and step into the mortal world.
That would be enough to tip the scales of victory in their favor.
Zhang Lou also noticed this, but he wasn't worried at all. In his view, under such a massive offensive, even the three strongest people in Yunxiao had already been clearly injured, and if this continued, it would only get worse.
They held the gates and pressed the attack relentlessly, with multiple layers of formations and a number of cultivators several times larger, giving them a significant advantage.
So what if more and more people from the Cloud Soaring Sect emerge from the secret passage?
Besides, that will take quite some time.
Lin Xiuyuan, however, showed signs of exhaustion and was beginning to find himself stretched thin and struggling to cope.
Moreover, the aura emanating from Lin Xiuyuan was becoming increasingly weak, clearly indicating that his injuries were gradually worsening.
How long can it last?
"He's about to give up. Follow me to kill this top seed of Yunxiao, make a name for ourselves, and secure victory. Afterwards, we'll definitely get our share of the resources from that secret realm's treasure vault."
Upon hearing the words spoken earlier, the crowd didn't react much; in fact, they felt a strange sense of apprehension.
Due to the current chaotic situation, high-level forces have not intervened.
However, as the situation gradually stabilizes, won't these major sects still be in charge here?
Now that they've killed this top seed, few can stop their revenge.
However, they were all independent cultivators who would take advantage of the chaos to pull off a few heists and then run away, so they weren't too wary, though they were somewhat apprehensive.
However, Zhang Lou's next sentence completely dispelled this apprehension.
"A secret treasure vault..."
The eyes of the rogue cultivators turned red, and they began to become fanatical.
As everyone knows, the retreat of the Cloud Soaring Sect was premeditated, as they had already integrated the spiritual objects from various resource areas beforehand.
Even if most of them were sold or transported back to the sect.
But there are definitely quite a few who bring them into the secret realm!
Taking the risk of getting involved in the chaotic situation and going against these sect cultivators, isn't it all about resources and striving for advancement?
Immediately, everyone worked even harder, even taking out talismans they usually wouldn't use, and intensifying their attack.
This immediately increased the pressure on Lin Xiuyuan.
Huo Yun was in the same situation. Although her demonic body was strong and greatly reduced the attacks of the low-level cultivators, she could not withstand their large numbers, and there were two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators pressing down on her.
Gradually, cracks appeared on the bright red scales of her snake body, and blood seeped out continuously.
He could only rely on the power of the Black Flame Eye from time to time to achieve the effect of restraint and gain a few moments of respite.
