Zhao De was completely unaware that this group of demonic cultivators had gotten so close to him.
It seems they possess some other mysterious secret.
"Junior Brother Heng, let's join forces to stop them. Junior Brother Li, you cover me, the rest of you run!"
Zhao De's expression was gloomy, and he spoke very quickly. After finishing his sentence, he raised his hand and his magical power surged up as he fully activated the decree that was floating in front of him.
The decree was about half the size of a palm, and its entire body was bronze in color. Simple lines were engraved on it to form patterns. As Zhao De activated it with all his might, a burst of yellow light erupted from it.
Waves of earthy yellow light rippled through the air like air currents, spreading outwards in all directions.
In an instant, the earth seemed to tremble, and the yellow soil churned up, quickly condensing into several ferocious earth dragons that rushed towards the two Foundation Establishment demon cultivators.
The middle-aged cultivator surnamed Heng responded, and with a flick of his wrist, a magic sword appeared in his hand.
Strands of golden light emanated from the magic sword, gradually forming a dazzling spectacle, instantly transforming into streaks of ever-changing golden sword light. With a swing of the magic sword by the middle-aged cultivator surnamed Heng, streaks of sword light, radiating chilling killing intent, whistled through the air.
Li Hongfu, the last Foundation Establishment cultivator on their side, was not idle either. However, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and could not get involved in their battle. Therefore, he covered everyone's escape at this time.
There were many demonic cultivators, but he only needed to deal with those in the Qi Refining stage, who were not to be feared. He then controlled two magic swords, which trembled for a moment and suddenly emitted golden sword light, and charged towards a group of demonic cultivators.
The middle-aged demonic cultivator glanced casually at Li Hongfu, made a hand seal, and wisps of demonic energy surged out, splitting into two balls that gradually converged into two demonic shadows.
Two demonic shadows, one large and one small, the larger one rushing towards Zhao De and his companion.
The smaller demonic figure naturally headed towards Li Hongfu to restrain him and prevent him from killing all his disciples.
As for the old man standing beside him, he calmly walked away, seemingly oblivious to the several enormous earth dragons that were opening their massive mouths and devouring him.
As the old man moved, his face gradually became ferocious, his facial muscles twitched, and lumps appeared, protruding in patches, making him look terrifying.
His entire body was twisted irregularly, with flesh bulging out, as if something terrifying was trying to struggle out of his body.
In the blink of an eye, the old man transformed into a giant two or three zhang tall, resembling both a human and a beast, with wisps of demonic energy emanating from his body, as if a demon god had descended!
At that moment, he seemed to possess immense power, and he stretched out his two enormous hands, crushing the two dragon heads that were about to bite down on him with their gaping maws.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two enormous earthen dragons shattered and crumbled into chunks of yellow earth scattered across the ground.
This scene was extremely shocking and horrifying.
Upon seeing this, Zhao De's expression changed, revealing deep apprehension. He said, enunciating each word clearly, "The true inheritance of the Ancient Demon Yin Slaughter King?"
now.
Lin Xiuyuan and his group had already been discovered by the demonic cultivators. They no longer cared about concealing themselves and immediately took to their swords, transforming into streaks of light to escape from the area.
Lin Xiuyuan scooped up Liao Cai'er and flew away smoothly on his sword. Elder Qin and the Fire Talisman Master did the same.
But the remaining people, including Qin Suwan and Li Hongyuan, were all stopped.
It seemed that Lin Xiuyuan and the others were too weak in cultivation, appearing to be a group of minor characters. They also didn't have many people left, so they didn't focus on intercepting the target.
Thus, the remaining people could not escape the control of that group of demonic cultivators.
Even though the middle-aged cultivator was only distracted, he was still at the late Foundation Establishment stage, forcing Li Hongfu to fight with all his might. He unleashed a powerful magic sword, which shone with golden light and slashed repeatedly at the demonic figure, barely managing to stop its advance.
The other magic sword, however, had little power left to control, giving the impression of possessing only the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It was stopped by the combined efforts of two demonic cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and three demonic cultivators at the Perfection of Qi Refining.
However, the four young cultivators in brocade robes were all people with great backgrounds. They used top-notch magic weapons and a lot of talismans. Although they were attacked by two people each for a while, they did not show any disadvantage.
This includes Li Hongyuan.
Qin Suwan was finding it difficult to cope. Faced with the combined attack of two elite demonic cultivators, she was already showing signs of weakness in just a few breaths.
Seeing this, Old Qin looked anxious. He paused on his spiritual sword, turned around, and took out another spiritual sword and a large stack of talismans.
Several golden swords launched a powerful attack, while several wooden talismans floated in the air, emitting a hazy blue light, and extended branches that flew down like tentacles, restraining Qin Suwan from the side and relieving the pressure.
However, those who can be used for pursuit are clearly not weak in combat, and their foundation is also quite substantial.
One of the demonic cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining directly used a high-level spiritual shield and several water-based talismans to protect the two of them from the power of the talismans.
Seeing this, Elder Qin turned around anxiously and said in an almost pleading tone, "Master Lin, please lend me a hand..."
In order to raise 40,000 spirit stones, Elder Qin had little savings left, and he didn't have many talismans, having already used most of them this time!
Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, then sighed and placed Liao Cai'er behind him, letting her hold his waist to prevent him from falling. He then took out a stack of talismans and activated them.
Although they hadn't exactly escaped to safety, they had left the center of the battle and could easily flee into the mountains and forests across the river.
Otherwise, Lin Xiuyuan probably wouldn't have stopped his escape. Although he didn't like Qin Suwan, he couldn't ignore the pleading tone in Qin Lao's voice.
