Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 68 Retreat, a fight for justice!

"We can't stay here for long! Everyone, retreat quickly, rush out and leave this island. We will meet on the coast of the East China Sea." Chen Qiye's voice rang in the ears of the righteous people at the same time.

Upon hearing Chen Qiye's message, the righteous sect members immediately understood and began to fight and retreat. Taoist Cangsong swung his sword, sending shadows flying, pushing back several of Baiduzi's fierce attacks. He shouted to his fellow disciples, organizing an effective defensive formation and shielding the injured as they broke through to the rear. Tian Buyi unleashed fierce magic, engaging Patriarch Duanmu in a fierce battle. Every clash of spells unleashed a powerful burst of light, illuminating the dim forest.

Lu Xueqi closely guarded Chen Qiye, the Tianya Sword in her hand gleaming with a cool blue light. She repelled any cultists who tried to approach. Chen Qiye took a deep breath, the Supreme Dao Flower within his body continuously drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy, using it to restore his cultivation.

On the Demon Sect side, Ghost King and Azure Dragon stood side by side, watching the righteous disciples fleeing. Azure Dragon said calmly, "Are you going to let these people go?"

The Ghost King smiled and said, "These young disciples are insignificant. Besides, we didn't come to Liubo Mountain to fight to the death with the righteous people."

At this moment, from the distant sea, long, shrill howls began to rise, as if something was approaching. The Ghost King frowned and turned to Qinglong, "Do you find the night scene a little strange tonight?"

Qinglong looked up, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion: "You mean that thing..."

The Ghost King nodded and said, "Legend has it that whenever that strange beast appears, the sky and earth will change color, accompanied by heavy rain and storms. Therefore, it is recorded in 'The Strange Tales of Gods and Demons' that this creature is the mount of the Thunder God."

Qinglong's expression gradually became serious, and he frowned and said, "How could it be such an unfortunate coincidence that it happened tonight?"

The Ghost King pondered for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid the Kuiniu will really appear tonight. We must make preparations early."

Qinglong nodded slowly and said, "That's right. After all, the Kuiniu is a big deal. Let's leave it to the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. As long as we can subdue the Kuiniu and the other three spirit beasts, ours..."

The Ghost King coughed, and Qinglong was startled. Then he laughed and shook his head, saying, "After years of hard training, I've become stupid. Don't blame me, Sect Master."

The Ghost King smiled faintly, unconcerned, and turned away, no longer looking at the people still fighting. Qinglong glanced into the distance, only to see a group of righteous disciples leaving. With a sigh, he turned and followed the Ghost King away.

Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi led a group of righteous disciples, including Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, and Qi Hao, and quickly left for the seaside. Furthermore, disciples from Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley followed closely behind, and Chen Qiye had already become their leader.

Under the illumination of magic weapons, everyone has arrived at the edge of the forest, and the sea hidden in the dark night has appeared before everyone.

Everyone was about to speed up and fly out of the dark forest. At this moment, a dark red light shot out silently from the forest and attacked Chen Qiye who was covering the retreat of the group.

"I'm just exhausted of spiritual energy. I'm not dead. A sneak attack? How dare you?" Chen Qiye snorted coldly and waved his hand. A layer of golden light curtain instantly surged around him. The dark red light hit the light curtain, making a "sizzling" sound, like hot oil dripping into water, splashing a strange ripple.

"But how many times can you withstand such an attack now?"

As the words fell, several people emerged from the darkness. They were none other than the Blood Refining Hall, led by Elder Nian. Elder Nian stood at the front, his face etched with a single, large, crimson eye. He looked eerie and terrifying, but now his demeanor was slowly returning to normal. Behind him, the beautiful woman, Liu Hao, and Wild Dog Taoist were also present, but the young Lin Feng was missing.

The Blood Refining Hall is now weak and powerless. When the major factions in the Demon Cult were fighting against the righteous ones, they were assigned to the far edge of the forest, just waiting to see if any fish would slip through the net. It is obvious that the people in the Demon Cult look down on them.

The old man and the others dared not speak out, and were originally sulking, but unexpectedly, someone actually ran all the way from the forest to here, which was a great opportunity to make a contribution. As long as these people were captured, the status of the Blood Refining Hall in the Demon Cult would naturally be slightly improved.

"Who surrounded whom? Don't you see that we have more people now?" Chen Qiye smiled indifferently.

Beside Chen Qiye, Lu Xueqi, Qi Hao, Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, Fashan, Fashang, Li Xun, Yan Hong and others were all holding their own magic weapons and looking directly at that group of people.

The old boss looked at the powerful righteous team beside Chen Qiye. Although he felt a little afraid, he was eager to make a contribution, so he gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Hmph, so what if there are more people? You are all at the end of your strength. No one can leave today!" After that, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the big red eye suddenly shone brightly, and a dazzling red light shot towards Chen Qiye again.

Chen Qiye snorted coldly, a flicker of disdain in his eyes. He gently raised his hand, and spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips, forming an invisible barrier. The red light struck the barrier with a dull sound, but it could not move forward any further.

"Come on, brothers, let's begin this righteous fight." As soon as Chen Qiye finished speaking, the Righteous Path members instantly pounced on the Blood Refining Hall members like tigers descending from the mountains. From the moment they met, the Blood Refining Hall members sensed the formidable strength of this younger generation of Righteous Path members. Before long, the elders were stretched thin. Glancing to the side amidst the chaos, they saw Liu Hao, Wild Dog, and the beautiful woman nearby. They all seemed to be in dire straits, so they could only shout, "Go!"

As he shouted, the Red Demon Eye suddenly exploded, shooting out seven or eight red lights.

Chen Qiye raised his hand to pull the group back, and at the same time, he swung the Autumn Water Without Trace in his hand. Two balls of green sword energy, like two nimble green snakes, surged out from the Autumn Water Without Trace. They bared their fangs and claws, and a sharp wind wrapped around them, hissing and whistling, as if they wanted to shred everything around them.

The sword energy collided with the red light from the Red Demon Eye. In an instant, a deafening roar erupted in the air, and the light spread out, blinding anyone. The elder took advantage of this opportunity to turn and leave, while several people from the Blood Refining Hall in the distance also fled backwards.

"How could I let you run away? This is me, the Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Wall!" Chen Qiye growled, and the Qiu Shui Wuhen in his hand drew sharp arcs as he moved. A thick sword energy flew out of the sword, like a roaring dragon, carrying a rolling momentum and rushing towards the people in the Blood Refining Hall.

The Wild Dog Taoist, who was running at the end, felt a cold wind whistling behind him, and even the hairs on his back stood up. He couldn't help but scream, "Help!"

The old man and the others were startled and turned back in a hurry, but at that moment, behind the Blood Refining Hall, a white light flashed and a white flower floated out. The strange white flower flickered in the air again and again, transforming into countless white petals and rushing towards the sword dragon.

The white petals collided with the giant sword dragon with a resounding roar, sending a cascading blast of air blasts sweeping the surrounding sand, rocks, and fallen leaves high into the air. Wild Dog Taoist seized the opportunity to sprint away, saving his life.

After blocking the attack, the white flower slowly spun in mid-air and fell. A fair, jade-like hand reached out from the darkness and gently caught the heartbroken flower. Then, Bi Yao emerged from the darkness. Elder Nian and the others looked respectful, but Bi Yao didn't even glance at them. Her eyes were fixed on Chen Qiye, then she shifted her gaze to Lu Xueqi, who was standing beside him.

Lu Xueqi's gaze remained unwavering, fixed on the remarkably beautiful woman across from her. In other words, they were rivals in each other's eyes. Their gazes met in mid-air, and a faint spark of emotion flared.

No one spoke in the field. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet after the fierce battle just now, and there was also a hint of awkwardness.

"Let's go." Chen Qiye glanced at Bi Yao, sighed, and gave the order.

As soon as the words fell, everyone turned and left towards the seaside. Behind them, Wild Dog Taoist was about to give it a try, but was pulled back by the elder Nian, who whispered, "Miss Bi Yao is here, don't act recklessly, and obey her in everything."

After he finished speaking, Bi Yao remained indifferent. She just watched Chen Qiye leading the righteous people to gradually retreat, while her figure remained motionless.

In the distance, when Chen Qiye and others were heading towards the sea, a deafening long roar was heard, like a dragon's roar, going straight up to the sky, shaking all over the place, and there was also the sound of thunder, which felt like it came from the depths of the sea.

Bi Yao stood there, and suddenly looked up, only to feel a chill on her face, and a drop of water fell on her face.

The wind blew and it began to rain. The dark clouds in the night sky sprinkled raindrops, and in the depths of the sea, a strong wind suddenly arose and blew towards the island.

A group of righteous people followed Chen Qiye and stopped together. Looking up, they saw huge waves rising up in the stormy sea and crashing towards the shore.

What appeared in front of Chen Qiye and others at this moment was the long beach, and in the distance was the turbulent sea. A powerful and suffocating aura came from the deep sea.

"It's so powerful, what on earth is this thing?" The righteous people exclaimed.

"You guys stay here, and it's best not to move. After all, my cultivation has not fully recovered yet, and I can't protect everyone." Chen Qiye glanced at the people behind him, stood up and controlled Qiu Shui Wuhen, flying towards the air.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi also drove the Tianya Sword and followed closely. Her idea was simple: wherever Chen Qiye went, she would go, even if it meant going to her death.

In mid-air, Chen Qiye saw dozens of figures in black suddenly appear on the beach. In the dark night, if you didn't pay attention, you really couldn't see them.
