Shen Qiang casually swung his sword, but when the sword shadow, which had concealed its power and sharpness, reached him and easily shattered his attack, he realized that he had underestimated the power of this strike.
He frantically tried to defend himself, but he was too slow, and he was sent flying by the force of the sword's shadow.
"Ah—Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
Shen Qiang steadied himself in mid-air, then mobilized his power to shatter the sword shadow in front of him.
Shen Qiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I really underestimated you. You actually managed to hurt me. Looks like I need to get serious."
He gathered power in his hands and attacked Ruan Xiyan.
The people below continued to fight the undead.
Those undead fell down again and again, only to rise up again and again, like cockroaches that could never be killed.
"This is weird, he's impossible to kill. At this rate, we'll never win." Yu Qiqi punched a living dead man to death.
The next moment, the black beads inside the undead flew out and nimbly burrowed into the bodies of other undead lying on the ground.
Any living dead person whose body has been penetrated by the black bead will stand up again.
Even later on, the black beads could penetrate the bodies of the disciples of the Illusionary Concealment Sect who were injured or killed.
They then turned the dead into the living dead, using this power to control them.
Luo Wanyin calmly surveyed the surrounding scene, her mind clear. "These black beads are the key to the continuous 'resurrection' of the living dead."
"After we kill the undead, the black bead will leave the body for a while, and that will be the perfect time for us to destroy the bead."
As soon as she finished speaking, a black bead flew past her eyes, about to burrow into the body of the fallen undead.
A white silk ribbon appeared in Luo Wanyin's hand, which quickly wrapped around the black bead. The ribbon was imbued with power, and she tried to crush the black bead.
As a result, the black bead remained undamaged. Luo Wanyin's eyes sharpened, and the poison of the Myriad Poisons Saint Body attacked the black bead.
The black bead was indestructible, and even the domineering poison of the Ten Thousand Poisons Saint Body could not harm it.
Before she could destroy the black bead, it broke free from the white silk and returned to the living dead's body.
Following the same pattern, Yu Qiqi killed the living dead and when the black bead flew in front of her, she slammed the meteor hammer in her hand down on the black bead.
The loud noise failed to shatter the black bead.
"What the hell is this thing? Why is it so hard!" Yu Qiqi cursed under her breath.
If these black beads cannot be destroyed, the living dead will truly be immortal beings.
Ruan Xiyan's contracted beast also emerged from the space and joined the battle.
Azure Sky held a black bead in its claws, squeezed it, but did not crush it.
She threw it on the ground and stomped on it, but it did nothing except make her feet hurt. She was so angry that Biqiong wanted to jump up and stomp on the ground.
What is sharper than its claws?
Shen Qiang was shocked to see so many magical beasts suddenly appearing below. He was surprised that the Illusionary Hidden Sect was hiding so many magical beasts.
Ruan Xiyan was also keeping an eye on the situation below; things weren't looking good.
Those black beads were covered in demonic energy, which was probably what made them so tough. And among the people present, only she was able to deal with the demonic energy.
Although Shen Qiang couldn't do anything to Ruan Xiyan for the time being, he was deliberately stalling for time, hoping to cause heavy casualties to the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
Ruan Xiyan temporarily suppressed her desire to fight Shen Qiang. She looked at the several Supreme Realm experts she had recruited and said, "You guys hold him off for now."
"Yes, Sect Master Ruan." The powerful figures attacked Shen Qiang in unison.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ruan Xiyan escaped. Watching the living dead constantly falling to the ground and getting up again, she raised her hand and waved, and the Xuan Yin Ancient Ming Qin appeared in front of her.
The Xuan Yin Ancient Ming Qin contains demonic energy and can attack over a wide area, making it perfect for dealing with the demonic energy on these dazzling black beads.
Ruan Xiyan mobilized the power within her body to pluck the strings of the Xuan Yin Ancient Yin Qin, and the sound waves spread outwards in circles.
The sound waves entered their ears, and the figures of the living dead froze for a moment.
"Clang clang clang—"
Ruan Xiyan's fingers plucked the strings of the zither, and melodious music filled the air, while invisible sound waves attacked the living dead.
The sound waves struck them, directly causing the black beads inside their bodies to be ejected.
Hundreds of black beads appeared in the air, and before they fell, another sound wave was emitted.
The sound waves swept over the black beads, absorbing the demonic energy on them. The sound waves then sent the demonic energy they carried back to the Xuan Yin Ancient Qin.
"The power in these black beads seems to have weakened," Lin Muze said.
He aimed the tip of his spear at one of the black beads and stabbed it hard. Cracks first appeared on the bead, and as the cracks grew larger, it finally turned into a pile of powder that scattered on the ground.
"It worked! Our attack was effective against these black beads."
Although Yu Qiqi and the others did not know what Ruan Xiyan had done, since the power of the beads had weakened, now was the time to destroy them!
Azure Sky scooped up a few beads with its claws, squeezed them tightly, and crushed them into tiny pieces.
Shen Qiang kicked away the powerful figures surrounding him one by one, and his pupils contracted when he saw the changed situation below.
How could this be! How can this woman even handle demonic energy?
The powerful figure who had been knocked back took a few steps back and attacked Shen Qiang again.
This is a great opportunity to show off. Perhaps if Sect Master Ruan is in a good mood, he will give them some other Grade 8 pills.
However, even the combined strength of all of them was no match for Shen Qiang, who possessed the power of a ninth-level Supreme Realm cultivator.
None of them had reached the ninth level of the Supreme Realm; the strongest among them was only at the seventh level.
Even among those at the same Supreme Realm, there are huge differences between each level.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to fight beyond one's level, except for a prodigy like Ruan Xiyan.
Even with several people of supreme strength joining forces, they couldn't defeat Shen Qiang; they could only temporarily restrain him.
"Ugh! A bunch of endless flies!" Seeing those people attacking again, Shen Qiang was furious. He unleashed a powerful force that directly repelled the approaching group.
He leaped forward to attack Ruan Xiyan, never expecting that this seemingly foolproof plan had turned out to be nothing more than their scheme.
From the very beginning, he fell into the trap set by the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
He never imagined that this woman could deal with demonic energy so easily.
Without the power of demonic energy, the black bead was easily destroyed. As the black bead was destroyed, the undead also lost their ability to attack and were routed.
