Everyone was still able to deal with them earlier, but these monsters seemed to be unkillable. After being scattered, they would gather again. Most importantly, they were gathering faster and faster, as if they were constantly evolving.
The monsters gradually formed a circle and surrounded everyone, and the circle kept shrinking.
Seeing Ye Xuan destroy one, it instantly condensed on the spot and pounced over.
Even if the people of the Sword Sect and the Tai Qing Sect had three heads and six arms, they still couldn’t withstand the monsters’ dense attack. Not to mention that their spiritual power would be exhausted eventually, but these monsters didn’t know fatigue.
After killing countless monsters, someone suddenly said in fear, “Those-those monsters!”
Everyone followed their gazes and saw that the white monsters seemed to have faded. They were pure white before, but as they condensed repeatedly, they gradually turned gray and were even turning black.
As their color changed, their strength also continued to increase, and many people were already injured.
Ye Xuan had a premonition that if they were allowed to continue developing, something bad would happen.
He frowned and looked at the person beside him who was already showing signs of fatigue. He said, “We can’t continue like this.”
Obviously, Shen Changling had also realized the seriousness of the matter. Shen Changling said, “Let’s work together and kill our way out.”
The two of them nodded in tacit understanding.
The other disciples of the Sword Sect also began to change their formation. They condensed the invisible sword intents of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. A huge five-colored light fell on the group of monsters.
The golden sword intent streaked across the sky like the clattering of metal spears and iron horses. The killing intent exterminated many monsters, and the remaining were all drowned in the rain of thousands of swords.
The wood-elemental sword intent seemed gentle, but it was invisible and murderous. Countless green vines wrapped around it, and countless cracks appeared on the ground, swallowing these monsters.
At the same time, the people of the Tai Qing Sect were not stingy with throwing out all kinds of divine talismans or offensive magic weapons. They followed closely behind the people of the Sword Sect and blasted a path out of the circle of monsters.
Countless monsters vanished into thin air. No matter how fast they could gather, they could not withstand the joint attack of both sides. The aftermath of the explosion hit their incomplete bodies again.
“Let’s take this opportunity to leave.”
The group finally broke free from the monsters’ encirclement. Although many of them were injured, it was not serious.
“These monsters are coming for me. After you leave, they won’t pursue you. Let’s part ways here.”
He couldn’t continue to trouble Shen Changling and the others. Before leaving, Ye Xuan left a lot of spirit stones and treasures as thanks.
“This is a small gift from me, I hope you can accept it.”
“How can I accept this?” Shen Changling quickly refused.
Originally, they had helped because of Mo Jianming and had not thought of getting any return. However, they could not withstand the enthusiasm of the people of the Tai Qing Sect.
“Just accept it, we have a lot of these things.”
“Yeah, it’s too dangerous inside the secret realm. It’s better to have more things to protect yourself.”
Shen Changling took the pile of shining magic treasures and items and looked at the expectant eyes of the other Sword Sect members. In the end, he accepted the items.
“Then you guys be careful.” Shen Changling wanted to say something but stopped himself. Then, he reminded Ye Xuan, “I don’t think those monsters will give up so easily. Although the stone is extraordinary, your life is more important.”
He didn’t want to say this because he was worried that Ye Xuan would think he was a busybody. However, even they couldn’t deal with those monsters, let alone Ye Xuan and the others.
“I know what I’m doing,” replied Ye Xuan.
“Take care of yourselves,” Shen Changling said with a nod.
The people of the Sword Sect couldn’t follow the Tai Qing Sect all the time. They also had their own things to do. This time, by helping them, they would not let down Mo Jianming’s trust.
Ye Xuan obviously still wanted to bring the stone with him, so Shen Changling didn’t say much. After all, it was Ye Xuan’s decision.
Looking at the back of the Tai Qing Sect leaving, the people of the Sword Sect could not help but sigh when they thought of the scene of their generosity.
“I didn’t think that a small sect would have such powerful people. Just who is Elder Ye? He’s actually so generous.”
“When I saw him attack earlier, he didn’t look like a human rank level 4 at all.”
“I was wondering why Elder Mo would ask us to take special care of the Tai Qing Sect and Ye Xuan. He really has his reasons.”
“But then again, what’s the origin of that stone? Could it be related to this secret realm?”
The crowd was in a heated discussion. Shen Changling said, “You must keep your mouths shut about these things. You absolutely can’t disclose them to outsiders, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the Tai Qing Sect.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. We’re very tight-lipped, we’re definitely not the kind to talk nonsense.”
These disciples had been carefully selected by Mo Jianming. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or character, they were all passable. Only the disciple at the end of the line had a flickering gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
On the other side, after bidding farewell to the people of the Sword Sect, the people of the Tai Qing Sect were worried that the monsters would catch up, so they did not dare to slow down.
“Elder Ye, what the people from the Sword Sect said just now makes sense. It’s too dangerous for us to hold onto this stone. If we really can’t do it, we should just throw it away. If those monsters catch up again, and there’s no one to help us this time, we’ll be finished.”
Everyone’s worry was not without reason.
Ye Xuan said, “Everyone, calm down. If the monster comes after us, I’ll draw them away.”
He had already thought of a countermeasure in his head. In any case, he had a supreme-grade movement technique with him. In addition, with the help of the divine traveling talisman, it should not be a problem to slip away from these monsters in the secret realm.
