Chapter 561: The Hunt! The Night Demon Strikes! (Part 2)
The rocket soared into the sky, exploding with a loud bang.
"The Yinshen Palace is over here!"
A long whistle reverberated through the mountains.
Suddenly, rustling sounds echoed from all around the forest.
Dozens of sword lights soared into the sky, swirling in the air, while below, the expert Guardians from all directions charged towards the Yinshen Palace's location.
Mo Gan Yun was among them.
They had traveled far and wide, almost risking their lives to get here. As soon as they arrived, they received the news and began to take action.
Although Feng Dong was the youngest, he was now in command.
"We can't split up! No matter what, we seven cannot separate... Any one of us facing them alone could be instantly killed!"
"Maintain the Seven Stars formation, advance and retreat together, and don't show any signs of chaos! Do you understand the Seven Stars formation? Don't make me look down on you!"
The seven of them remained silent, advancing in a spoon formation.
Boom, boom, boom...
Groans and cries filled the air as countless figures tumbled.
The Yinshen Palace transformed into a streak of light, charging straight into the dark and dense forest.
At the original spot, several injured Guardians remained, but this time, the Yinshen Palace was in a hurry to move on, encountering them and immediately breaking through the encirclement.
There was no time to finish them off.
Whistles sounded one after another.
The Guardians' Night Lotus Net was now fully formed.
The Yinshen Palace had already broken through over seventy li.
During this seventy li, he had encountered a Guardian whose cultivation was already at the Saint Rank, and he was almost trapped. Only by using the Burning Blood Technique did he manage to escape.
While he was flying at high speed, two people suddenly rushed out to block his path, risking their lives.
They disrupted the Yinshen Palace's high-speed flight, forcing him to change direction and fly away, but his speed was no longer at its peak.
"The Yinshen Palace is over here!"
Although the two were heavily injured, they desperately shouted, indicating the direction.
The Yinshen Palace fled in disarray.
So far, no one had discovered his true destination, which slightly eased his mind.
If someone had figured out that his target was the Hundred Poison Peaks, this time, he might truly be in a life-or-death situation!
But how it would unfold, they would have to wait until they reached the Hundred Poison Peaks. The Yinshen Palace was familiar with that place; although the mountains were high and the forests dense, it wasn't much better than where they were now.
Without any special arrangements, escaping death there would be difficult.
But now, just like Mu Linyuan and Qian Sanjiang, he had already reached the point of no return. It was better to trust Night Demon!
...
Fang Che was so furious he almost cursed aloud.
The Yinshen Palace was too slippery.
I have been tracking in seven different directions, all of which are locations where the Yinshen Palace had briefly fought before swiftly departing.
Moreover, the Yinshen Palace is extremely experienced in the martial world, and after escaping from one location, they immediately change direction, making it extremely difficult to track them.
Standing at the site of their recent battle, it's challenging to determine their next move.
However, the directions they are seen taking are undoubtedly false leads.
Fang Che has already experienced two battles, and both times, upon discovering that it wasn't the Yinshen Palace, the pursuers immediately withdrew.
"Hey, over here!"
Although Fang Che was disguised as the Night Demon, no one could spot him in the pitch-black forest.)
Even if they did, they wouldn't recognize him.
He repeatedly yelled, his voice hoarse, "It's me!"
"It's me!"
The guardians, each with their methods of distinguishing the Yinshen Palace, quickly responded, "Forgive me... Which Palace are you from?"
Fang Che gave them a vague answer, and then everyone went their separate ways to continue the pursuit of the Yinshen Palace.
The night grew darker, and the atmosphere became more tense.
Time ticked by...
Only Me Righteous Sect's Southeast Headquarters.
It was already late at night when Feng Yun finally received the news.
"The Supreme Leader of the One Heart Sect, Yinshen Palace, is being besieged outside Biyue City!"
Feng Yun was perplexed.
Why had the Yinshen Palace suddenly appeared there? But the One Heart Sect was of utmost importance and couldn't be left unaided.
"Who brought this news?"
"The message came from Yinshen Palace himself, and he's with two Venerables from the One Heart Sect."
"What's the reason behind this?"
The reason was currently unknown.
Feng Yun immediately issued an order: "Southeast Headquarters, mobilize to rescue Yinshen Palace and bring him back."
With this command, fifty people rushed towards the forest like arrows.
However, the news soon returned: "Young Master, the entire Southeast Headquarters of the Guardians, along with all the forces from the Great Hall of Guardians, are besieging Yinshen Palace. That area of the forest has been completely sealed off!"
"If we forcefully break through to rescue them, we'll have to pay a hefty price! We might not even make it through."
Feng Yun was shocked: "The entire Southeast Headquarters? All the forces from the Great Hall of Guardians? What has Yinshen Palace done?!"
There was no further intelligence on this matter.
No one could provide an explanation.
Feng Yun paced back and forth, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
He recalled the recent anomalies and some strange orders from Deputy Sect Master Yan.
He also remembered the reports about the Night Demon from Wu Xiang.
His eyes flashed with doubt, and after a long while, he sent a message to Yan Nan: "Disciple Feng Yun reports to Deputy Sect Master Yan. An unexpected situation has occurred in the Southeast. The Supreme Leader of the One Heart Sect, Yinshen Palace, for reasons unknown, has ventured deep into the direction of Biyue City and is being besieged by all the forces of the Southeast Headquarters..."
As he sent the message, he pondered: Deputy Sect Master Yan seems to have some other plans for Yinshen Palace, and I always get the feeling that he values him highly.
This is a good opportunity to test the waters.
Not long after sending the message, Yan Nan's instructions arrived.
"Rescue Yinshen Palace at all costs!"
Yan Nan was in a panic. Yinshen Palace must not die now! If he dies, all the arrangements in the Southeast will be severely compromised.
After sending a message to Feng Yun, he immediately contacted Sun Wutian: "Go and rescue Yinshen Palace."
He knew that Feng Yun probably couldn't command Sun Wutian.
Sun Wutian was going through the files of the various clans, and the more he read, the more his murderous intent surged.
Just as his evil thoughts were about to spiral out of control, Yan Nan's message arrived.
"Yinshen Palace? Where is he now?"
"In the forest, a thousand li outside Biyue City."
Sun Wutian immediately understood: "He went to attend the Night Demon's wedding and was discovered. This idiot is always causing trouble! He deserves to die!"
"Hurry and rescue him!"
Yan Nan was furious: "This concerns the future of the Night Demon. Even if you can always stay in the Southeast, can you ensure a smooth path for him?"
Sun Wutian scoffed and put down the file.
As he stepped out of the door, he saw Feng Yun bowing outside.
"Supreme Guardian, do you need me to send Feng Yi and Feng Er to accompany you?"
"No need, let them stay here to protect you. You're more important."
Sun Wutian gave a strange humph and soared into the sky.
Demon fog rolled as he headed southeast.
Feng Yun was perplexed.
He couldn't understand why, given his position, the old demons in the sect, despite their seniority, always treated him with respect.
Even Duan Xiyang wouldn't dare to glare at him.
What had Sun Wutian taken to act so arrogantly towards him? Had he done something wrong? Or offended him in some way?
You've been a zombie underground for so long, and I don't think I've done anything to offend you, have I?
As Sun Wutian set off, the Guardian Headquarters still hadn't received any news from the Southeast.
...
Fang Che tirelessly tracked the Yinshen Palace, constantly sending messages to confirm their location.
However, the Yinshen Palace was almost constantly engaged in battles, changing their position and direction frequently. By the end, their location was changing every quarter of an hour, leaving no time to wait for Fang Che.
The encirclement was complete!
Fang Che's heart was filled with growing anxiety.
He knew they had reached the final moments.
If they couldn't make contact and escape in time, they would be trapped until dawn, and even he might not make it out alive!
Seventy li away from Hundred Poison Peaks.
These seventy li of mountain roads would be an insurmountable obstacle. The sounds of battle echoed in the distance, this time, relentless.
Apparently, the Yinshen Palace had fallen into an evenly matched siege.
Fang Che quietly approached.
After three breaths, the intense battle continued.
The situation was deadlocked, and Fang Che knew that if it remained this way, the Yinshen Palace would be finished.
Because... the forces of the Guardians were increasing, while the Yinshen Palace, stuck in this stalemate, was alone.
If he couldn't break free when the numbers were smaller, it would be even more impossible with more enemies!
With a resolute heart, he gripped his longsword and rushed forward like an arrow.
Yinshen Palace had already lost hope.
His current opponents were none other than the Battle Arena's Southeast Headquarters Chief, Mang Gu Xiong Xiong Rujun, and his eight Battle Arena experts.
The power of just one Mang Gu Xiong Xiong Rujun and his cultivation was almost on par with the eight experts, let alone with the addition of the eight masters!
Master Yinshen Palace naturally wanted to escape, but he didn't even have a chance to display his Burning Blood Technique. With a single encounter in a narrow path, he was immediately surrounded by the nine experts.
The nine individuals had a thousand years of combined combat experience, and they immediately reacted, dividing into groups and firmly locking down Master Yinshen Palace.
Xiong Rujun was overjoyed.
Who would have thought that such an enormous achievement would ultimately fall into the hands of our Battle Arena?
If others were to accomplish this great feat, where would our Battle Arena, which has always prided itself on combat, find its face? Seeing the stable battle situation, Xiong Rujun completely abandoned the idea of calling for reinforcements.
Our Battle Arena will devour this big cake alone!
With the current situation, the nine individuals were fully capable of achieving this.
Master Yinshen Palace was already exhausted from the prolonged battle, while his own nine companions were fresh and energetic.
Master Yinshen Palace was already at an absolute disadvantage.
The disparity in strength was extremely evident.
"Take it slow and steady, no need to rush!"
Xiong Rujun, leading the charge, fought while sternly instructing, "After all, he's the Supreme Leader of the One Heart Sect. If he makes a last-ditch effort to counterattack, he'll definitely drag someone down with him. All of you, be cautious and don't give him that chance!"
"Yes!"
Xiong Rujun wielded a large club with immense strength, and in his hands, it was as nimble and agile as a reed.
Master Yinshen Palace had been fighting for half the night.
He could only endure and hold on.
All he could do was to ensure that his body did not suffer any injuries.
In this kind of wilderness combat, once injured, it would be as conspicuous as a bright lamp in the darkness under the pursuit of these old veterans.
In that case, there would be no point in trying to escape.
Now, trapped in a desperate situation, Master Yinshen Palace let go of everything.
The Blood Spirit Seven Swords unleashed without restraint, and occasionally, the advanced version of the Blood Spirit Seven Swords would force Xiong Rujun to retreat a step.
"It's a pity that I've only comprehended the fifth style!"
Master Yinshen Palace's heart was filled with endless sorrow and regret.
If he could integrate and master the advanced version of the Blood Spirit Seven Swords, he would have a better chance of escaping this calamity.
Unfortunately, at this moment, he could only briefly resist the siege.
"It seems that I'm destined to die here..."
Master Yinshen Palace fought while contemplating, his eyes gradually turning fierce, and a chilling killing intent emerged.
"Be alert!"
Xiong Rujun, who was always vigilant, shouted, "The moment when a cornered dog jumps over the wall is about to arrive!"
The eight experts around him burst into laughter, "Rest assured, Master, this mad dog poses no threat to us!"
"Master Yinshen, don't think about such fantasies." Xiong Rujun smirked, "After wandering the rivers and lakes for a lifetime, if you can die in my hands, what's the point in losing face right before death?"
Master Yinshen Palace's face turned deathly pale, and his white hair trembled in the tremors.
The opponents' heavy weapons perfectly countered his agile longsword, making every collision excruciating.
But his face remained calm, "Xiong Rujun, if you want my life, you should be prepared to pay a price. Do you really think I, Master Yinshen Palace, am made of clay?"
Xiong Rujun swung his club with composure, "Master Yinshen Palace, if you were in your peak condition, we might not have been able to spare you. But now, you're exhausted, having fought all night. You've probably used up all your potions, haven't you?"
Master Yinshen Palace let out a cold laugh, "Xiong Rujun, stop the nonsense. Whether I, Master Yinshen, have resources or not is none of your concern. My life-saving potions are reserved for a rainy day. You, Xiong Rujun, are not yet capable of that!"
But in his heart, he knew the truth.
His recovery potions were already depleted.
An entire night of relentless fighting.
The recovery potions below the Saint Venerable rank given by Deputy Supreme Leader Yan were two in number, and he had already consumed them both.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break through to this point. The strength of the entire Southeast Command Center was truly terrifying.
Xiong Rujun burst into laughter, and suddenly, he unleashed his full cultivation, like a giant splitting mountains, with powerful and expansive movements, forcing Master Yinshen Palace into a fierce battle! At this moment, the way they fought was indeed like a wild bear.
Master Yinshen Palace desperately dodged, but Xiong Rujun's club connected with the heavens and the earth; with each strike, the momentum became more awe-inspiring, as if the entire forest was spinning with his club, and the madness of the blows rained down on Master Yinshen Palace.
With a loud crash...
The sword and club finally collided.
Master Yinshen Palace let out a painful cry, spraying blood as he tumbled.
Xiong Rujun also grunted, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he retreated three steps, shouting, "Chop him!"
The eight experts fearlessly charged forward.
Master Yinshen Palace braced himself against the opponent's club, his internal organs shaking as if struck by lightning, and his body going numb.
As the blades and swords approached, he couldn't muster his spiritual energy, and his dantian was empty.
He let out a bitter laugh, his face calm.
Today, it would end like this.
Just as he was about to close his eyes...
Suddenly...
An overwhelming aura of extreme power surged forth, like a tidal wave lifting the sky.
A sword beam suddenly soared.
Illuminating the night sky.
The nether energy exploded! Fang Che channeled all his cultivation, all his nether energy, and burst forth with all his might.
The advanced version of the Blood Spirit Seven Swords merged into one.
At this moment, the bright moon on the horizon almost turned blood-red.
The stars in the sky seemed to fall in unison.
With two Saint Venerable-grade recovery spirit pills in his mouth.
One person, one sword, like thunder and lightning, charged into the battle.
Clang, clang, clang... One after another, they clashed with four people.
The four retreated.
"Master!"
Fang Che's momentum didn't waver, and he grabbed Master Yinshen Palace, stuffing a Saint-grade recovery spirit pill into his mouth.
Simultaneously, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Burning Blood Technique! His body soared like a meteor, swooshing past the treetops, and in an instant, he became a black wind, passing by.
Only now did blood gush from his seven orifices—eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
His appearance was pitiful.
Although he had exerted his full strength, simultaneously clashing with four high-level Venerable-rank experts, he also suffered severe injuries.
Although the spirit pill in his mouth immediately melted, the impact he endured still resulted in serious injuries.
From behind, an enraged roar echoed, "Night Demon!"
