At this moment, the complex expression that had been faintly visible on Cheng Mao's face disappeared, replaced by a calm expression.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Youqing, the victor is king and the loser is villain... The camp was badly destroyed earlier, and your fate is unknown. For the sake of my own path, I have no choice but to choose a better place to rest and abandon the darkness for the light. Please don't blame me!"
Cheng Mao cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Your Excellency should refrain from making futile resistance. If you choose to die peacefully, you may have a chance to be reincarnated. If a great war breaks out, I'm afraid your remnant soul might be destroyed!"
Daoist Youqing looked coldly at Cheng Mao, wanting to say something, but in the end he stopped talking and glared fiercely at Lin Xiuyuan.
"Your skill is impressive. Now that you have subdued this person, I presume that Lu Jiantong, Fellow Daoist He, and the others have also surrendered? I have lost this battle, and I deserve the defeat. I played a winning hand so poorly because I was too confident."
"I am completely convinced. Is there any room for negotiation? I am at your disposal!"
"Since you can tolerate Fellow Daoist Cheng and the others, why not tolerate me as well?"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said, "You know perfectly well what's going on. Don't joke around. You should just sit and die. That's your best choice. The current situation leaves you no room for maneuver. Otherwise, as Fellow Daoist Cheng said, your soul will be crippled and too weak, and you might not even have a chance to reincarnate!"
Now we can calmly accept the surrender of the rogue cultivators without worrying too much about changes, because the situation has been reversed.
But anyone can surrender.
Only Daoist Youqing cannot!
He is one of the leaders of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. If there is any change in his stance, he can quickly gather all the surrendered loose cultivators and deliver a heavy blow to Yunxiao's forces!
And at this moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Youqing unleashed his long-accumulated magical power.
He clearly understood this as well; the current situation was a dead end!
Having already secretly amassed its strength, it immediately launched its attack.
"Since you can't tolerate me, then you should just die!"
"Fellow Daoists, let's make our move together."
With a loud boom, endless dark light instantly spread out, rapidly advancing towards Lin Xiuyuan, exuding an extremely eerie and surging power.
Lin Xiuyuan's lips curled into a slight sneer. He gripped the Falling Hammer in one hand and hurled it. In an instant, it unfurled against the wind, transforming into a gigantic form several dozen feet long. As if carrying immense force, it tore through the air with a deafening roar.
Cheng Mao also went all out, unleashing a powerful spell that formed a strange gray chain that lashed down like a long snake, causing the faint light to dissipate.
Upon seeing the other party's actions, Lin Xiuyuan withdrew some of his attention and immediately activated the Shadow Shield hanging beside him, circling upwards to resist the erosion of the ghostly light that the Falling Hammer had failed to suppress.
His gaze returned to Daoist Youqing, as if he were looking at a dead man.
In normal times, facing Youqing Daoist's desperate counterattack would be quite risky.
After all, for Daoist Youqing, the current situation is a complete dead end.
The only possibility is to fight back desperately, subdue him, and use him as leverage to survive.
However, his profound magic talisman still has nearly half an hour of effect left. If he fights alone, he may not be unable to kill this person. So why should he be afraid of the opponent's last stand?
That is to say, it was almost a major battle, and he was injured and exhausted. Otherwise, he would not only be able to stop the enemy's offensive, but also suppress them!
However, they are not much different.
The power of the great formation crashed down, leaving him no time to spare to resist.
"Stand quietly to the side, and you might have a chance to live. Dare to make a move, and you'll only face death."
Lin Xiuyuan's gaze was icy as he swept over the two rogue cultivators of the Purple Mansion Realm and spoke coldly.
Having said that, he joined forces with Cheng Mao and unleashed their full power, instantly overwhelming Cheng Mao and putting him at a significant disadvantage.
Upon hearing this, the two men dared not move an inch.
Originally, after exchanging a glance at each other following Youqing Daoren's words, they had no intention of making a move.
Faced with a dead end, how can we make any moves?
Staying still offers a glimmer of hope!
Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Xiuyuan's words, the two men's expressions changed, and a glint appeared in their eyes. They immediately stood obediently to the side and even took a step back.
Daoist Youqing had no hope for the two of them, but seeing his full-force attack so easily blocked by Lin Xiuyuan, he was utterly despondent.
At that moment, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.
They erupted without regard for anything else, and acted with all their might.
The magical power surged violently, disregarding the damage, and unleashed a series of secret techniques to fully activate the magical artifact.
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan and the other man seemed unable to contain themselves.
But this is just a death throes!
Not long after.
Pang Hongbo, Ge Yun, and two other pursuers have arrived.
They launched a combined attack, firmly suppressing Daoist Youqing, leaving him no room for retreat!
However, he was ultimately a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm.
Like a cornered beast fighting desperately, its frenzied outburst before death still took Lin Xiuyuan and the others a great deal of effort, and it took them almost a quarter of an hour to kill it.
As the violent aura of magic gradually dissipated, the interwoven array patterns gradually dimmed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was no longer disordered.
Everything returned to calm.
The overall situation was thus decided!
Pang Hongbo, Ge Yun, and the others looked on with mixed feelings, their eyes revealing a strange light as they frequently glanced at Lin Xiuyuan.
For a moment, this scene felt like a dream.
Because everything happened too fast.
Earlier today, they were at a significant disadvantage, worried about whether the plan could be successfully implemented.
At this moment, they had already killed Daoist Youqing and incorporated most of the rogue cultivators into their ranks...
A classic and legendary battle in which a smaller force defeated a larger one, turning defeat into victory.
It happened again!!
It is truly heartbreaking and extraordinary.
"It is truly a blessing to have such a person become the chief of my Yunxiao Sect. Perhaps... in this lifetime, my Yunxiao Sect will be able to once again dominate the Yunmeng Great Swamp!!"
Pang Hongbo looked at Lin Xiuyuan, his shock lingering for a long time.
Ge Yun was the same, but unlike him, his face showed intense excitement.
"You bet right!!"
Following in the footsteps of the Cloud Soaring Sect is a gamble with enormous risks.
One wrong move and everything is lost!
But if he wins the gamble, the rewards will be enormous, completely securing his resources in the upper realm!
Now, his gamble paid off; he gambled his way to the higher realms!
Naturally, Cheng Mao and the others could hardly be happy at this moment. They had been allies for only a day, but now they were facing life and death together, and their thoughts were quite complicated.
