At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the battle situation had already reached its climax.
The seven experts at the peak of the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage of the Blood Tiger Gang continuously punched out with their fists, creating explosive sounds as they punched Lu Yuankong and the other three monks until they were forced to retreat.
If Lu Yuankong were to fight the seven of them alone, he would definitely be able to defeat them one by one with his powerful strength and his experienced fighting experience.
However, with the protection of his three junior brothers, Lu Yuankong's movements were severely restricted. Right now, he could only panic and respond to the attacks of the seven Blood Tiger Gang experts. Moreover, he had to focus on the playful smile on Ling Ba's face.
Right now, just the seven experts at the peak of the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage were able to force Lu Yuankong and the other three monks into a corner. If Ling Ba were to join in, it was obvious that Lu Yuankong's junior brother would not be able to protect any of them!
He couldn't drag it out any longer! If this dragged on, none of them would survive. They had to … Sacrifice yourself!
In a split-second, Lu Yuankong made his decision on the spot. With an explosive shout, he used all his strength and thrusted his staff towards a sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage expert.
The expert's reaction was also extremely fast as he swiftly dodged. However, Lu Yuankong seemed to have released his protections on his three junior brothers. He took on the assault of an expert at the peak of the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage and shouted loudly.
With a "peng" sound, the expert was shot backwards. He fell to the ground with heavy injuries. He was unconscious, and would not wake up for an entire night.
But at the same time, the other six experts at the peak of the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage had already circled behind Lu Yuankong, completely separating him from the three monks. At this time, Lu Yuankong had no time to rescue the three monks who were surrounded.
However … The zhen qi inside Lu Yuankong's body crazily surged and actually poured into the black iron rod in his hand at this very moment.
The black iron rod was shaking uneasily because of the powerful Zhen Qi wrapped around it. However, Lu Yuankong had used his incomparably powerful control of the Spirit Refinement realm to compress all of his Zhen Qi into the stick.
The muscles on his right arm bulged, and with a howl of rage, he swung his staff towards the six experts at the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage.
"A one on one bet!"
"Chi!"
The black iron rod drew a terrifying sharp sound in the air and suddenly smashed towards the six experts. The originally compressed true energy suddenly exploded the moment it came into contact with the six experts.
The six experts were blown away by the incomparably violent wind, and the three monks were no longer a threat in that short period of time.
"Elder Senior-apprentice Brother, be careful!"
A monk was celebrating when he saw that behind Lu Yuankong, Ling Ba had already attacked with a ferocious smile on his face. Lu Yuankong, on the other hand, had no chance to defend against him for such a short time.
"Let's go!"
Lu Yuankong roared with all his might. He had long predicted this would happen. He only did so to buy time for the three junior brothers behind him. They were still children, and they still had a lot of youth to fight for. Their potential was limitless.
Leave the future to them!
"Eldest Brother!"
The three monk's eyes were blood-red. They could only watch on helplessly as their senior apprentice brother saved their lives. However, they also wanted to watch as their senior apprentice brother sacrificed himself in front of their eyes, yet they were powerless to change it!
At the last moment of his life, Lu Yuankong smiled in relief.
Saving a life was better than building a seven-layered pagoda. Perhaps fate would end up like this, but this humble monk had used his own life to save the lives of his three junior brothers. In this life, he would no longer have any regrets!
As he thought, he finally closed his eyes.
"Bam!"
In the next moment, a deafening explosion came from behind Lu Yuankong. The chaotic Zhen Qi ripples caused the surrounding trees to sway and make noises. Three meters around Lu Yuankong, the ground cracked and all the snow was turned to dust in an instant.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
The three monks kneeled on the ground. Lu Yuankong was bound to die from the blow just now. They were all drowned in the pain of their eldest senior brother's death and could not extricate themselves.
"All of you, quickly leave!" Eldest Martial Brother Lu Yuankong had also heard the wails of the three monks and immediately roared in anger. He did not want to be sacrificed so easily …
"..." "Wait, why doesn't it hurt?"
Only then did Lu Yuankong realize that something was wrong. He suddenly turned around, only to see that behind his gigantic figure, a young man was standing in front of him with a young girl in his embrace.
This youth was none other than Ming Yu!
"What!"
Earlier, Lu Yuankong had blocked everyone's view. The moment he turned around, he saw the three monks and the six experts of the Blood Tiger Gang who were at the peak of Transcending Mortality Stage Level 6.
The three monks were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. They rubbed their eyes and then directly injected their spirit energy into the Divine Court to open the perception. This was to confirm a certain fact.
That's right, the youth who blocked Ling Ba's violent punch … It really was Ming Yu!
At this moment, Ming Yu's right hand was gripping Ling Ba's fist, but his left arm was firmly wrapped around Hei Ji's slender waist. The force emitted from that violent punch from before had not reached her left arm, so Hei Ji was not harmed in the slightest.
This actually required a very strong control over one's strength. However, Ming Yu had already completed her transformations within the Transcending Mortality Stage and possessed the strength of a thousand lions, so it would naturally be easy for her to receive this punch.
"These monks do not have any killing intent towards you. They only want to snatch the Fire Yuan Zi. There is no need for you to kill them."
Ming Yu retracted his right hand and looked at Ling Ba, saying, "They are my friends, give me face, let them go."
Behind him, Lu Yuankong and the other three monks were still in a state of shock. When they heard Ming Yu's words, they were stunned.
The good-for-nothing they had looked down upon earlier was now standing in front of them, calling out to save them?
"Fuck you."
Ling Ba looked at the tall and sturdy youth in front of him with no trace of fear in his eyes. Instead, he sneered: "Who are you, this father has to give you face."
Although Ming Yu receiving Ling Ba's punch just now was beyond Ling Ba's expectations, it did not mean that Ming Yu had the ability to fight against Ling Ba. And Ming Yu's tone clearly put herself at the same height as Ling Ba.
This was a blasphemy and an insult to Ling Ba's dignity!
"Who am I?"
Ming Yu stared fixedly at Ling Ba, the corners of his mouth curving up into a faint smile: "I'm someone you shouldn't offend."
When these words were spoken, the entire place was silent, only the whistling of the cold wind in the dark night could be heard, followed by the rustling of the wind.
Immediately, the sound of a few monks sucking in a breath of cold air came from behind him.
Ming Yu had gone mad, he had really gone mad!
Perhaps Mingyu really did have some ability to protect himself, and Ling Ba might not want to retreat due to Lu Yuankong's existence. However, when he said such funny words, as the leader of the Blood Tiger Gang, how could Ling Ba let Mingyu off?
"People you can't afford to offend? "Hahahaha!"
Ling Ba's smile became even more sinister: "It's been a long time since someone dared to speak to laozi like this. Little bastard, not only will they die, you, will also die. As for the woman beside you, after you die, I'll help you take good care of her."
Naturally, Ling Ba would not let such a beautiful celestial goddess like Blackie off. Everyone here, with the exception of Blackie, would die!
"Hu!"
Just as he finished speaking, Ling Ba's fist flew towards Mingyu's face. Mingyu's reaction was extremely fast, and with a flash, she dodged and arrived in front of Lu Yuankong.
After sending Hei Ji to Lu Yuankong's side, Ming Yu looked at him deeply and said, "Protect her with all your might. If there's even the slightest mistake, I'll use you to test it out."
Ling Ba was a martial artist at the seventh level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, if he were to hug Blackie, Ming Yu would not be able to do anything.
Lu Yuankong was just about to say something carefully when Ming Yu had already rushed forward, the Throat Sealing Sword in her hand flashing out as she clashed with the iron gloves in Ling Ba's hands.
At this time, Ming Yu was already very familiar with the control of the Confronted Murderous Sword. With a casual wave of her sword, she had created three deadly sword energies. As a result, that seemingly ordinary sword technique contained an endless amount of power.
"Bang!" "Bam!"
Everyone saw the two of them clashing against each other in an extremely terrifying manner. For a moment, Ming Yu actually did not lose out in the slightest, and actually tied against Ling Ba.
"Die, little bastard!" "Tiger Roar Fist!"
Right at this moment, Ling Ba closed in once again. The Tiger Roar Berserk Fist, which he had honed to perfection, was wrapped in surging true energy. The blood-colored fist was like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountains, ready to tear someone into pieces.
However, Lu Yuankong could only barely withstand this attack!
In the face of such a powerful punch, Ming Yu did not retreat, but instead advanced. True energy crazily gushed into the Throat Sealing Sword, and the sword started trembling.
"Sobbing Sword."
"Chi!"
Ming Yu's flawless sword pointed forward, piercing through the air. A terrifying sword qi that felt like it was crying instantly poured out, colliding with the Howling Tiger Fist.
There was only the sound of a deafening explosion as Mingyu took three steps back to recover her strength. On the other hand, Ling Ba's heavy legs were sent flying a dozen steps back before he finally regained his balance.
Ming Yu unexpectedly held the upper hand with this attack.
This scene caused the monks to turn green. They had thought that Ming Yu was just spouting nonsense, but the truth was that Ming Yu was speaking the truth. He wasn't exaggerating at all, and they only thought that Ming Yu was being arrogant.
Originally, these monks admired their eldest senior brother Lu Yuankong the most, but Mingyu, who was younger than them, was actually stronger than Lu Yuankong!
In other words, the person they despised the most in the end was actually worthy of even more respect and admiration than the person they admired the most. This kind of feeling caused the hearts of the few monks to become extremely complicated …
However, at this moment, a huge change occurred on the battlefield.
This was because the six experts from the Blood Tiger Gang had already surrounded Ming Yu from all directions while he was resting!
At this time, Ming Yu had just used up all her energy, so it could be said that the timing of these six Blood Tiger Gang experts was amazing. They didn't give Ming Yu the chance to retaliate at all.
A blood-red ball of true energy flowed in each of their hands as they sent out an incredibly standard, straight punch with a uniform posture, attacking from all six directions without any dead angles.
"Blood Tiger Roar!"
The Blood Tiger Roar was originally their combined ace attack. Even if it was against a seventh level Spirit Refinement Stage expert, it would still have an unexpected effect.
What's more, Ming Yu's current state was unstable, and he had been completely forced into a corner, making it impossible to guard against. Right now, it was the moment of Ming Yu's death!
However, at this moment, Ming Yu immediately retracted the Throat Sealing Sword in his hand.
"Have you given up?" Ling Ba's lips curled up into a sinister smile. However, the next moment, his expression suddenly froze!
