Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 709 - 385: Breakdown, Luo Cheng’s Intimidation!
Chapter 709: Chapter 385: Breakdown, Luo Cheng’s Intimidation!
Amidst the trapped crowd.
About twenty or thirty female disciples of the Luoxia Sect gathered together, each as beautiful as a flower under the moon, with exceptional grace, like water lilies emerging fresh from the water, yet all their faces showed some paleness and panic.
Most of them were injured, struggling to fend off the attacks of the frenzied martial artists and the cunning Blood Evil Spirits.
“Sister Yue’er, the casualties are increasing, and there are those elusive Blood Demon progenies. If this continues, I’m afraid we won’t hold out much longer. Once the defense line collapses, we simply can’t resist on our own, what will we do then?”
Jin Yuxi glanced around and saw more and more people falling. With a worried face, she turned to ask Qi Yue beside her.
With Yu Lanxin down, Qi Yue, being one of the top ten inner sect disciples of the Luoxia Sect, became the person with the highest cultivation here and the pillar of hope for everyone. Her fists continuously struck out, each punch carrying a refined silver fist power, killing the frenzied martial artists that surged towards them, while the approaching Blood Evil Spirits were also blasted away.
Bang!
A punch shattered a Blood Evil Spirit that suddenly swooped down, and Qi Yue finally replied:
“Don’t get distracted, or the Blood Evil Spirits will exploit the opportunity. As long as we hold on until the senior sister recovers, we’ll certainly be able to retreat intact.”
While speaking, Qi Yue’s peripheral vision glanced behind, her face showing urgency.
Yu Lanxin sat there cross-legged with her eyes tightly closed, hands clasped together. Her originally smooth, jade-like skin had become very pale and dull, her brows tightly knitted, her breath chaotic.
Just now, the Blood Evil Qi had suddenly erupted nearby, affecting many people and driving them mad, leading to wanton slaughter.
Yu Lanxin initially intended to lead everyone out, but before they got far, several Luoxia Sect disciples suddenly lost their minds and attacked those around them.
Because of this, Yu Lanxin got injured, and unable to bring herself to harm her fellow disciples, the Blood Evil Spirits seized the opportunity during her subduing of the frenzied disciples. Two Blood Evil Spirits penetrated her body through her wounds, causing her to fall into a coma, even now.
“Once the Blood Evil Spirits get inside, they’ll devour one’s blood and spirit. Can senior sister make it through after being hurt just moments ago?” asked a very worried Luoxia Sect female disciple.
Qi Yue lightly pursed her red lips and said, “Don’t speak such discouraging words, senior sister is a quasi-Sword Intent swordsman, her spirit generates a natural sharpness, she won’t easily have her spirit devoured, she will definitely be able to kill off the Blood Evil Spirits within her.”
Qi Yue spoke with confidence, yet her tone was full of struggle.
It wasn’t that she lacked confidence in Yu Lanxin; it was just that time wasn’t on their side, and the defense line could collapse at any moment.
If they couldn’t hold off from other directions, with just these people, it’d be difficult to retreat intact, let alone protect Yu Lanxin and the other unconscious sisters.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yue shouted loudly: “Sisters, hold on a little longer, senior sister can definitely wake up and lead us all out of here.”
“Yes!”
Everyone began to release their Martial Souls and fight desperately against the enemies.
Jin Yuxi and a few other disciples with lower cultivation levels were tasked with guarding Yu Lanxin and others from behind.
Watching those crazed hordes like beasts, along with the Blood Evil Spirits flying everywhere, the hand with which Jin Yuxi held her sword couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
She had just witnessed with her own eyes a fellow sister being penetrated by a Blood Evil Spirit, bleeding from every orifice, being absorbed dry into a human skin, dying a tragic and humiliating death!
The scene was just too shocking, too terrifying!
Even once when she and Luo Cheng were being hunted by the Jile Sect demoness, Mu Qinglian, she hadn’t been this scared…
While Jin Yuxi’s thoughts were wandering off.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
A series of frenzied shouts, sounding neither human nor beast, suddenly erupted!
Perhaps influenced by the Blood Evil Qi, or stimulated by the thick, bloody aura of the battlefield, those berserk martial artists became even more violent, letting out beastly roars, attacking madly.
Boom!
Under such intense aggression, finally, a breach appeared in the defense ring, and frenzied martial artists surged in one by one, slaughtering anyone they saw!
“Ah! They’ve broken through!”
“We can’t hold them! Run away!”
“Run!”
The breach in the defense line had just opened when the morale had already disbanded, with some starting to flee. To them, there was still a chance to escape now; otherwise, they’d be trapped in this encirclement, making it even harder to leave later!
In an instant, the entire defense circle collapsed completely, turning into chaos, with some trapped in the encirclement being torn apart by the mess of blades, while others were penetrated by Blood Evil Spirits, drained of all essence blood, the battlefield echoing with screams of agony everywhere.
“Sister Yue’er, what should we do?”
Seeing this situation, the group from Luoxia Sect also began to panic, each looking pale.
Qi Yue forced herself to remain calm and said, “I’ll carve out a bloody path, you follow closely with the senior sister. Sisters, let’s fight to the death!”
Qi Yue’s tone carried a tragic resolve; being besieged on all sides while having to guard against the elusive Blood Evil Spirits, whether they could break through, or how many could make it out, she wasn’t confident at all.
However, given the current circumstances, there wasn’t much time for her to think anymore.
Those frenzied martial artists were already rushing from all around, perhaps drawn by the bloody scent emanating from Yu Lanxin. Blood Evil Spirits had also stormed in, forming a blood-colored hurricane, completely surrounding them.
If they didn’t leave now, they might not be able to leave at all.
Just when everyone was feeling despair.
Suddenly.
A sword chant echoed from above the sky.
Swoosh!
A fierce Sword Qi, as large as a door panel, cut across the sky, straightly passing over Qi Yue and the others, extending hundreds of meters ahead.
Everything within its range was shredded apart, even the Blood Evil Qi was torn open, revealing a massive sword mark over two meters wide and a hundred meters long.
“What!”
This single sword strike stunned everyone.
Everyone turned to look in the direction from where the Sword Qi had come, and someone exclaimed: “Luo Cheng, disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect!”
“Luo Cheng…”
Seeing the swiftly approaching figure, Jin Yuxi was extremely excited, her delicate face flushed.
Swipe!
As the defense line collapsed, Luo Cheng also arrived at the battlefield. Seeing the dire situation, he immediately went to offer his aid.
After one sword strike, Luo Cheng surveyed the battlefield, frowning slightly; it would be difficult for him to fight freely in such chaos.
He immediately proclaimed loudly: “Do not fall into disarray! From now on, anyone who flees will be executed without mercy!”
The voice, imbued with Sword Intent, was clearly transmitted into everyone’s ears, shaking like a Thunder Sound!
“Everyone, don’t panic, unite together, and exert all efforts to slay the demons!”
“Luo Cheng is a quasi-Sword Intent swordsman, a genius who defeated Yun Tianyan! With him here, we will definitely survive this calamity.”
“Haha! We’re saved!”
With Luo Cheng’s words, he instantly deterred everyone.
At the end of the day, they had merely lost their reason out of fear of death. Now that Luo Cheng had come, providing an opportunity for survival, they certainly would not flee.
Immediately, everyone began reorganizing the defense line, halting the slaughter by the frenzied martial artists and Blood Evil Spirits.
Upon seeing this scene, Qi Yue was momentarily dazed, a bit bewildered.
She recalled the situation from when she first met Luo Cheng; back then, she was one of the top ten inner sect disciples of the Luoxia Sect, and Luo Cheng was merely a Sixth Level of Awakening Vein Realm that she looked down upon!
She even once considered him a small lecher attempting to abduct Jin Yuxi…
Now, with merely a few words, Luo Cheng had shaken the entire battlefield!
