As soon as Elder Wei finished speaking, the leading guard laughed loudly, the dark aura in his hand fluctuating, ready to strike Ye Que at any moment!
"Elder Wei, we are merely executors under the Palace Master, not decision-makers. Will the two palaces engage in war or negotiation?"
"I don't care!"
"All I know is that today, I am determined to take the life of this divine child."
After speaking, the leader of the guards did not say much to Elder Wei. His dark aura condensed again, transforming into a giant dark hammer. He deliberately used the weapon that Elder Wei had previously shown to retaliate.
The goal was simple: to make this old man understand that he, an elder of the Star Temple, was insignificant in front of the Dark Temple!
Seeing this, Elder Wei immediately activated the power of the stars around him, and countless bright purple stars began to rotate, eventually enveloping Elder Wei and Ye Que.
Condensation.
As Elder Wei's low shout subsided, the brilliant starlight ceased its flow and finally transformed into a giant bell, protecting the old man and the young man within.
Bang!
The moment the giant bell solidified, the leader of the Dark Guards' giant hammer arrived as promised, slamming heavily onto the bell with a crisp sound that could be heard clearly for dozens of miles around.
The leader of the secret guards was startled, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
No wonder the old man didn't fight him with offensive weapons, but instead used this heavy, giant bell; now it seems...
This guy was using the unusual sound and its wide range to attract the attention of people nearby.
"In that case..."
The guard's lips curled into a smile.
"Elder Wei, since you're going to play it this way, then I'll have to finish this quickly!"
After speaking, the leader waved his hand at the other guards, who, having received the leader's message, unleashed their full power.
Dark forces swirled around them, and they would immediately follow suit at their leader's command.
The leader of the Dark Guards from the True Immortal Realm didn't intend to hold back. He unleashed his full power, and countless dark energies condensed into a scythe above his head.
Judging from its incredibly rich texture and color, this blade could probably kill even a powerful Earth Immortal with a single strike.
"Cloud-Piercing Slash".
The leader of the Dark Guards shouted, and the scythe above immediately slashed at the giant bell. At the same time, the Dark Guards of the Celestial Realm around them also activated their surrounding energy, transforming it into various weapons that bombarded the giant bell.
Elder Wei, who was at the center of the storm, was horrified. These guys were attacking with the intention of eliminating all traces of the enemy.
Looking at the still relatively weak Divine Child Ye Que beside him, Elder Wei took a deep breath, took out a forbidden medicine from his bosom, and swallowed it in one gulp.
In just a few breaths, Elder Wei's aura broke through the Celestial Immortal realm and slightly reached the True Immortal realm.
He gritted his teeth, and the power of the stars within his body poured continuously into the giant bell, making the color on the surface of the bell even brighter and more dazzling.
Correspondingly, the defensive capabilities will also be further enhanced.
Thump.
A sound several times louder than before rang out from the surface of the giant bell, and countless shockwaves spread out.
The surrounding grass and bamboo groves were completely destroyed, leaving only a bare, yellow surface.
Pfft!
Without warning, Elder Wei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura weakened to the extreme. The despair in his eyes spread across his entire face.
To everyone's surprise, even with the banned drugs, it was only enough to sustain him through this one attack.
When Ye Que saw Elder Wei suddenly collapse to the ground, he was shocked. He quickly squatted down and used his insignificant breath to check on Elder Wei's condition and calm his blood and qi.
If Elder Wei's body hadn't been in such a mess, he probably would have forcibly transferred some of his own stellar power to the latter.
"What a touching scene!"
In the void, the leader of the Dark Guards watched Ye Que's meticulous actions and sneered.
"However, Elder Wei, you were able to withstand that first attack, which should be your limit, right? So, how will you deal with this second attack?"
After saying that, the leader of the Dark Guards once again conjured a scythe. This time, the scythe was no weaker than the previous one, and the dark aura fluctuated on its surface, as if it wanted to drag people's souls into it.
"Wait a minute."
Elder Wei stretched out his hand and said urgently.
The leader of the secret guards raised an eyebrow slightly and sneered, "Elder Wei, you also have forbidden drugs, don't you?"
With Ye Que's help, Elder Wei slowly got up.
“I am willing to go with you, and I am willing to give you all my treasures. If you go too far today, I have said that there will be a great battle between the two palaces, and it will be a bloody battle to the death.”
Cough cough cough!
After Elder Wei finished speaking, he coughed again, this time coughing up blood. Ye Que, who was standing to the side, felt both heartache and helplessness.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous it was to lack strength in this world where power reigns supreme.
"Elder Wei, as I said, I was just following orders. The Palace Master has spoken, how dare we, mere errand runners, disobey?"
"Originally, I was thinking of capturing you alive, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided against it. The Palace Master would prefer the head of the Divine Child. As for Elder Wei, go to hell."
The leader of the secret guards gave a low shout and swung his scythe down heavily, finally landing on the giant bell that Elder Wei had condensed with all his might, accompanied by a thunderous sound.
The giant bell could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded completely, scattering countless stellar energies across the sky before finally disappearing into the world.
Once the defenses are breached, those beneath them will be in serious trouble.
Seeing that the scythe's power had been weakened by only half, Elder Wei hurriedly activated the little remaining star power within his body, pulled Ye Que aside, and hid.
The other guards who had been waiting nearby licked their lips as they saw this, marveling at the fact that the killing of the Star Temple elder was also thanks to the Divine Child.
They were all incredibly excited that the goods were about to fall into their hands.
The large sword, imbued with dark energy, whistled through the air before slashing at the approaching old man and young man.
If they manage to land a hit, their status in the Dark Temple will skyrocket, and the Temple Master will bestow countless spirit stones and immortal techniques upon them. A significant boost in their strength will be just around the corner.
Elder Wei looked at the guards charging towards him like wolves and tigers, and felt the scythes relentlessly pursuing him from behind. He roared and his whole body began to swell violently.
Seeing this, all the guards were stunned.
Unexpectedly, Elder Wei has quite a backbone!
