The area was completely surrounded by dark shadows, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Shen Sangruo frowned deeply, her face extremely solemn, as she racked her brains for a solution.
How can they find a way to survive amidst the siege of numerous shadowy figures?
She had very little time to think, and the current situation didn't allow her much time to consider it.
"Try to protect yourselves!" she shouted to the others.
Holding a feather fan, she suddenly swung it out several times, and a large amount of glazed fire instantly filled the barrier space!
The others then realized that when she told them to protect themselves, she wasn't referring to the attack from the shadowy figure, but rather to her sea of fire.
After waving the fan several times, Chen Sangri did not stop and continued to wave the feather fan.
In order to weaken the power of those shadowy figures with the flames as much as possible and gain a chance of survival, she had to go all out and make the flames as intense as she could.
The temperature inside the space suddenly rose, even though she had tried her best to control the flames and avoid hurting Mei Mei and the others.
However, even if a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage is at the same level as a cultivator in the early Divine Transformation stage, when they unleash their full power, even if it's just the aftershocks, it's something that cultivators in the early or mid-Nascent Soul stages can't withstand.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the others, who found it unbearable even as they struggled with all their might.
Flames soared into the sky within the room-sized space, and the increasingly fierce fire almost completely blocked everyone else's view, turning everything in sight into a sea of red.
Naturally, no one saw that within the sea of fire she unleashed, there was a protective barrier that kept all the dark figures out.
This was what she had previously thought of: incorporating barrier techniques into her attacks, combining them with her Sunset Glazed Fire Technique.
Previously it was all theory, this is the first time it's been put into practice, and it seems to be working quite well.
But Shen Sangruo knew that such an effect was only temporary, and that those shadows were not so easily blocked.
Sure enough, the next moment, a circle of dark figures attacked her barrier.
Their attack methods are relatively primitive, using their limbs as weapons, which is more like brute force. However, this brute force, enhanced by their own strength and spiritual power, also possesses the ability to shake the heavens and the earth.
The force slammed onto the barrier, directly transmitting to Shen Sangruo's heart, causing her to groan and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
My internal organs felt like they were being crushed, and I was in excruciating pain.
She didn't have time to wipe the blood from her lips, and instead poured all her power into the barrier, hoping to make it last longer.
However, it was still too difficult for her to withstand the attacks of so many shadowy figures all by herself.
The others were surprised that no shadowy figures appeared to attack them. Although they didn't know what Shen Sangruo had done, they knew in their hearts that it must have been her doing.
Hearing her voice, one knew she was injured, and judging from the intensity of those dark figures, her injuries could not be minor.
Everyone was filled with worry for her, and Feng Heyun and the other two were especially anxious, wishing they could shield her from those injuries.
But there was nothing they could do; they were too busy protecting themselves amidst her flames.
Never before have they felt such hatred for their own incompetence, unable to even protect the people most important to them.
"Xiao Ruo... are you in pain?" Wen Xuan's voice trembled, and tears welled up in his red eyes.
Jiang Chu and the others were speechless. Wasn't this obvious?
If it were Wen Xuan or the others who took that hit, they would probably have collapsed to the ground and fallen into a deep sleep like babies. Why would they ask if it hurts? Is that thing on their neck just an ornament?
Shen Sanruo had no time to pay attention to Wen Xuan. The barrier she created had already developed spiderweb-like cracks, which continued to expand as the shadowy figure attacked.
The Kui Niu and the dodder flower fairy immediately used their own power to help her, and together they held on desperately.
The little koi fish blew bubbles, bringing her luck and causing attacks to miss or go astray.
Even so, her barrier shattered completely in just a few breaths.
The duration of the support seems insignificant.
But this was the limit of what she could endure. She could only hope that her flames would be powerful enough to remove as much of the evil power from the black mist as possible.
"I have done my best to weaken their power. Now, it's up to fate." She suppressed the metallic taste in her throat and said to the others.
She did everything she could.
The flames would interfere with other people's battles, so she raised her hand and removed the flames from the space.
The red obscuring their view vanished instantly, and the dark figure reappeared in their sight.
The shadows were formed from condensed black energy, and compared to the pure black of the previous shadows, the group noticed that the color of those shadows was significantly lighter.
In the previous battle, Shen Sanruo had tried to clear away the black energy with flames, and they were all aware of how quickly it was cleared.
In such a short time, the black aura on these shadowy figures has already diminished so much.
It's easy to imagine how much power she expended; she was truly burning herself out.
Chen Sangruo's fire seemed to ignite in their hearts, setting their bodies and blood ablaze.
Their fighting spirit and determination had reached their peak; they were determined to kill all these shadowy figures, so as not to have let down her selfless dedication.
She's already risked her life, so there's no reason for them not to risk theirs as well.
Even if they can't steam buns, they'll still fight for their honor. Even if they have to crawl, they'll crawl out and let those evil cultivators see what's what!
They all unleashed their magical artifacts, gathered spiritual energy, and confronted the menacing black shadows.
"You petty evil cultivators, you only dare to hide in the shadows and use those despicable methods. We will never let your schemes succeed!"
Mei Mei slashed her sword at the dark figure in front of her, as if she had struck a hard rock. The shockwave from the impact made her hands ache.
Shen Sanruo had already transformed the feather fan into sharp feathers and was engaged in a fierce battle with the several dark figures around her.
She also summoned the Kui Niu and the dodder flower fairy to join the battle, using every bit of power she could muster.
As a physical cultivator, Jiang Chu did her best to absorb damage for the other members of the team.
Chen Zhouxing and Wen Xuan used their spiritual power to continuously heal the injuries of the others.
Zhu Huaqiao kept taking out all sorts of magical artifacts, which were broken by the shadowy figure, and then she immediately replaced them with the next one.
Feng Heyun drew his sword and thrust it towards the shadowy figure.
Time passed, I don't know how much.
The stone slab was covered with a layer of viscous blood, and the stench of blood in the air almost masked the sinister aura.
The last dark figure fell to the ground.
Mei Mei's hand holding the sword was trembling. She knelt on one knee and planted the sword in the ground for support, barely managing not to fall.
Jiang Chu looked like she had just been pulled out of a pool of blood; she was completely covered in blood, and her steps were unsteady.
Zhu Huaqiao's eyes had lost their light, and she was still holding the magic weapon that had been broken in half by the shadowy figure.
Chen Zhouxing was panting heavily, looking dazed.
"I survived."
They actually survived the attacks of those shadowy figures!
