The Frostfall Sword and the Kongtong Banner collided, and waves of power rippled outwards.
The waves crashed against the surrounding barrier, causing ripples to spread across it.
Suddenly, a force appeared on the Kongtong Banner, and the Frostfall Sword was thrown away by this force.
Ruan Xiyan summoned the Frostfall Sword back into her hand.
"We...we failed!"
The light in their eyes gradually faded as they looked at the intact Kongtong Banner.
They could feel the immense power in that attack just now, so why couldn't they destroy the long banner?
Ruan Xiyan's eyes darkened; she hadn't actually destroyed it.
Lin Zhou scoffed, "A mere brat in the Supreme Realm dares to dream of destroying the Kongtong Banner, a supreme treasure? How presumptuous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received another solid blow to the chest from Jun Yu.
"Still in the mood to talk nonsense, it seems your injuries aren't too serious," Jun Yu said casually.
"Ugh—Ah! Bang!" Lin Zhou tumbled several times before barely managing to steady himself. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Even if he unleashes all his strength, he could be sent flying if he's not careful when facing Jun Yu.
Who exactly is this man? He has never seen or heard of him on the cultivation continent. Could it be that he does not belong to the cultivation continent?
Lin Zhou formed hand seals, and then two clones that looked exactly like him condensed from his main body.
"Go, kill him!" Lin Zhou ordered.
The two clones immediately attacked Jun Yu, while Lin Zhou turned and rushed towards Ruan Xiyan. The Kongtong Banner had already been activated, and time was limited; they had to obtain the inner core of the medicinal beast.
"Destroy!" Jun Yu coldly uttered a single word, an invisible wave emanating from his lips.
The two clones turned to ashes as soon as they reached Jun Yu.
With his clone severely injured, Lin Zhou abruptly stopped, letting out a muffled groan. Without pausing, he continued his attack on Ruan Xiyan, disregarding his serious injuries.
Jun Yu moved swiftly, blocking Lin Zhou's path and sending him flying with a single punch.
"The little mouse that used to hide its head and tail by creating clones back then hasn't gotten any stronger over the years; it's still just as vulnerable."
Jun Yu's eyes were filled with disdain. To touch his A Yan right in front of him, was it as if he didn't exist?
Lin Zhou crashed into a pillar behind him, shattering it to pieces. He looked at the elders and disciples around him and said, "All of you, attack!"
No matter how strong this man is, I will wear him down until he dies.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Seeing the throng of disciples and elders approaching, Jun Yu stood behind Ruan Xiyan and kicked away anyone who got too close, like kicking a ball.
Seeing that even a numerical superiority complex couldn't hold Jun Yu back, Lin Zhou used his power to transmit his voice, "I hope you will intervene, sir!"
"Useless fellow." A hoarse voice rang out from the surroundings.
A figure reeking of decay came into view, and the moment he appeared, the entire Twilight Thunder Sect was enveloped in dense demonic energy.
Jun Yu waved his hand, dispersing some of the demonic energy in front of him. "What a murky and nauseating aura."
The Corpse Demon King's demonic energy landed on the disciples of the Twilight Thunder Sect, instantly increasing their strength significantly.
He gazed at the numerous forces trapped in the Thunder Pool, a greedy smile on his face, "Delicious soul power."
He stretched his arm forward, extending it infinitely, towards the Thunder Pool.
Upon seeing this, everyone was startled. "What...what kind of monster is this?!"
"Let me stir up this pool of water, you ignorant humans, tremble! Enjoy the slaughter feast that I have bestowed upon you."
The Corpse Demon King's outstretched arm brushed across the people in the Thunder Pool. Their pupils contracted sharply, and blood vessels appeared in their eyes. Some of those touched quickly turned into mummies.
The Corpse Demon King looked at the soul orb in his palm, opened his mouth and swallowed it, then excitedly licked his lips, "Delicious."
"My corpse puppets, wake up and get to work! Go and bring me more souls!" The Corpse Demon King waved his hand.
The mummies that had fallen in the Thunder Pool rose again, suddenly lunging at their companions and biting at their necks.
The souls of the disciples bitten by the mummies flew into the Corpse Demon King's body, while the disciples who lost their souls turned into mummies and, together with the mummies that bit them, pounced on the living people in the Thunder Pool.
The people of Leichi were already struggling to resist the backflow of their internal energy while dealing with the descending lightning, and now they were attacked by the dried corpses.
More and more people fell, and the ranks of the mummified corpses grew ever larger.
“This can’t go on, Old Jiang. Isn’t your Burning Weapon Sect the best at forging magical artifacts? Isn’t there a powerful magical artifact that can change the current situation?” Yan Gonglin looked at Jiang Wubai.
"At this critical moment, if I had it, I would have taken it out long ago," Jiang Wubai said irritably.
This Thunder Pool, along with the Kongtong Banner, was clearly meticulously arranged by Linzhou and could not be destroyed so easily.
Moreover, the Burning Weapon Sect has fallen into disarray and is no longer what it used to be. It has not been able to refine high-grade weapon treasures for many years.
The Burning Weapon Sect has always remained secluded from the world, so outsiders are unaware of this news.
"I'm so angry! It's so stifling to stay in this hellhole, it feels like I'm bound by shackles."
"Since there's no other way, let's fight these inhuman, desiccated corpses! We can't just sit here and wait to die." Ye Shu gripped a long, dark whip.
With a "smack," several mummies were knocked down, and after falling to the ground, they wobbled and got up again.
"You dare to get up! Get down right now!" Ye Shu roared, wielding her long whip to dislocate the limbs of the mummies. "Let's see how you get up now."
They were furious that these top-tier forces had been outmaneuvered by that bastard Lin Zhou!
When Ye Shu got angry, people from other forces quickly moved away, including Jiang Wubai and his group, who were also leaders of top-tier forces. Their actions of retreating were extremely serious.
The sect leader of Jueyu Sect appears to be a charming and beautiful woman, but in reality, she is known as a shrew. When she gets angry, no one dares to step forward and confront her wrath.
The people in the Thunder Pool fought a fierce battle with the mummified corpses.
Ruan Xiyan was still focused on figuring out how to destroy the Kongtong Banner. She stood in mid-air, occasionally absorbing the power of a few bolts of lightning, while most of the lightning was blocked by the shield of light.
She was also aware of her own limitations; she couldn't absorb and refine all of the lightning power, so she had to discard some.
Ruan Xiyan stared at the Kongtong Banner, which was so close to her.
Her full-force attack was comparable to that of a pseudo-immortal, but it did nothing to harm the Kongtong Banner.
