The men in black were launching a fierce attack, and the team formed by the three small sects dared not relax their guard. They were being forced into a retreat, practically on the defensive, as if they were escaping the attacks of the men in black. They had to turn the tide.
"Aaaaaah!..."
A flurry of flashing swords and the deafening clash of weapons alerted other areas.
Indeed, the clash of sword formations created a breathtaking spectacle.
The leader of the men in black looked at the opponents running away as if fleeing a famine, showing no pressure whatsoever. He then raised his eyes and, with astonishing speed, pointed his sword at the leader of a small sect.
He scoffed, "With your strength, you think you can fight us? You're just delusional. You'd better surrender now. If you're sincere in surrendering to us, we certainly won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you want to live, get out of my way!"
The three minor sects had gone through layers of selection to have the opportunity to enter the Holy Land for trials, so how could they just give it up to others?
The three men at the front were already wounded, but they still brandished their swords to fend off the waves of men in black.
"Ah! Ugh! Pfft..."
Several disciples were sent flying by the man in black, coughing up blood. The situation was clearly dire, and now they could only hope that someone would come to their rescue.
Although the combined number of people from the three sects was less than twenty, there were still more than a dozen of them. However, they were scattered and defeated by the men in black. Most of them were injured or knocked unconscious on the ground.
It looks like the leader of the men in black is about to completely kill the members of one of the smaller sects.
The other sects were furious at the sight of this tragic scene, wondering where this person had suddenly appeared and dared to launch a sneak attack from behind.
"Brothers! Brothers! Charge! Defend our sect to the death!"
The scene was extremely brutal, but the men in black continued their unstoppable offensive, advancing like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, relentlessly pressuring the disciples of the three sects.
They could only huddle together, their eyes fixed on the group of executioners in front of them.
They were being pressed forward relentlessly, and they were retreating. It seemed they were about to enter a dead end. If this continued and no one came to their aid, they would face the consequence of their entire family being wiped out.
These three minor sects had actually been planning to cover one of their members as they went to request reinforcements.
One person was given a critical mission and, with everyone's cover, managed to escape. He grabbed his sword and ran quickly toward where there had been people before, shouting for help.
"Help! Help! Someone, please! Help!... Is anyone there?..."
"Assassin! Assassin!"
Perhaps the sounds of fighting were too loud, because several teams not far away heard the commotion, and Xie Zhou had also noticed something was going on there, plus the system was urging him on.
She immediately led several disciples of the Sword Sect and ran quickly in that direction, only to encounter the disciple seeking help on the way.
The disciple's chest heaved up and down, indicating that he had exerted a great deal of effort to run over there, and he saw someone coming.
He quickly ran over, grabbed Xie Zhou's sleeve, and pleaded, "Help us, help us! There's a fierce battle going on up ahead, and several sects are about to collapse!"
"Get up, we were just about to go there, but we don't know the exact location. Please take us there immediately!"
"Okay, thank you! Thank you all for your help!"
They rode at breakneck speed.
The situation is currently at a stalemate. Of the three minor sects, only a few powerful individuals remain, and they are still struggling to hold on. They do not want to fall. What kind of force is this sudden appearance of black people? It is truly puzzling.
Faced with such a fierce attack, they had no choice but to resist.
Seeing that the situation was turning against them, the leader of the black men raised his hand to stop the attack and then spoke to the men in front of him, saying, "Your resistance is futile. Why don't you join us?"
"Stop talking nonsense! We will never associate with someone like you!"
This naturally angered the men in black, who quickly launched another fierce attack.
At that time, Xie Zhou finally arrived with his men. She looked closely and felt that she had met this group of people somewhere before, but she didn't have time to think about it. She saw that the leader of the men in black was about to pierce a disciple's chest with his sword.
She immediately leaped up, knocking the sword away, and then led the group into battle against the mysterious man in black.
Xie Zhou confronted the leader of the men in black and found his moves and movements extremely familiar. She then realized that he was the same person she had encountered in the Monster Mountain Range.
The leader of the men in black also recognized Xie Zhou, and the two enemies were extremely hostile to each other.
Moreover, her strength at this time was incomparable to what it was back then. Even if Tao hadn't appeared, she would still have been able to defeat the leader of the men in black.
The disciples of the Sword Sect have long undergone rigorous training, greatly improving their strength, and are no longer the same as before.
Xie Zhou recognized him, then smiled and stared at him, saying jokingly, "I didn't expect you to be so incorrigible, like a ghost that never leaves. I'll run into you here again. But if anything you've done has any ill intentions towards us, I will definitely tear you to pieces!"
Seeing her attacks becoming increasingly fierce, the mysterious leader of the men in black also began to change his own rhythm. The two fought from the ground to the sky, and the battle was incredibly intense.
They no longer fight with their own magical artifacts, but instead use magic.
Both sides rapidly formed hand seals, launching a series of fireballs and attacks at each other.
However, Xie Zhou, who had mastered the pupil technique, saw those attacks as if they were moving in slow motion before her eyes. Therefore, she didn't pay any attention to those fierce attacks. She only needed to dodge slightly, and soon she avoided all the attacks.
The leader of the men in black was also surprised by Xie Zhou's growth, but found the battle even more interesting.
He activated a secret technique once again, and soon a huge light array formed behind him.
Many orbs of light appeared around them, and Xie Zhou immediately took the initiative, quickly gathering his energy and striking the man in black in the abdomen.
The leader of the men in black fell to the ground, but fortunately someone caught him from behind.
During the fight, one of the men in black spotted several figures not far ahead and realized something was wrong.
He whispered in the leader of the men in black's ear, "Boss, people are starting to come this way. We can't hold them off, so we need to retreat quickly. We don't have enough manpower."
The leader of the men in black looked away, gritting his teeth. He really didn't want to escape in such a sorry state.
