Emperor Qiankun

The green-robed old man sneered, staring sharply at Elder Kong and the others, mocking them, "Hahaha, you old ghost Kong, you actually want to take advantage of the night to attack us? You really are overestimating your own abilities!"

Elder Kong's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp. He gripped the sword tightly, pointed the tip at the opponent, and responded fearlessly: "Old Ghost Fan, if you have the guts, come out and fight me!"

"Am I afraid of you?" Elder Fan of the Yunyin Sect raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.

Immediately afterwards, he flashed and rushed towards Elder Kong like lightning.

The two of them instantly burst out with the cultivation level of Tiangang Realm and started a fierce battle with sword shadows intersecting and magnificent momentum.

At the same time, Ren Yuxuan and Elder Xu also faced the other two elders of the Yunyin Sect respectively.

Masters from both sides took action one after another, and the scene became extremely tense and exciting.

And below, many disciples from both sides were not willing to be outdone and started fighting.

For a moment, all kinds of weapons complemented each other, shining brightly, like a gorgeous and colorful painting.

The entire Zi Yan Mountain was covered in dust, covering the sky and the earth.

......

Above Ziyan Mountain, the battle between Elder Kong and Elder Fan was particularly fierce in this melee.

Their cultivation levels were almost the same, and their swordsmanship had reached the realm of sword momentum. Each sword contained infinite power.

After half an hour, as both sides were equally strong, they gradually felt tired, but neither was willing to back down.

Ren Yuxuan and an elder of the Yunyin Sect also fought from the ground to the air, and it seemed that the two were evenly matched for a while.

Elder Xu's opponent was another elder from the Yunyin Sect. As Elder Xu's injuries hadn't fully recovered, he was in a difficult position. He was struggling and could only hold on. Over time, he might be defeated and killed.

At this time, the situation on the ground was also very tense.

The disciples of Tianjian Sect were in a difficult situation because the disciples on the opposite side were able to use the power of the formation to gain a considerable increase in strength.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, with both sides refusing to give in and the number of casualties gradually increasing.

Seeing his fellow disciples getting injured or even falling down one after another, Li Qingyuan finally decided not to hide his strength anymore.

He mobilized the profound power in his body and used all his strength to perform the Seven Star Steps. His figure was like a ghost and he rushed towards the disciples of the Yunyin Sect.

"Whoosh whoosh."

As he continued to swing the long sword in his hand, sharp sword energy rippled out, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, spreading to the surroundings like a storm.

Under this terrifying sword energy, the disciples of the Yunyin Sect fell to the ground one after another. Bright red blood gushed out of their bodies, gathering into pools of blood, staining the ground red.

The smell of blood in the air makes people feel nauseous.

However, he did not stop attacking. The sword in his hand continued to swing, continuing to reap the lives of the disciples of the Yunyin Sect.

Li Qingyuan's killing spree boosted the morale of everyone in the Tianjian Sect.

They took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and temporarily suppressed the Yunyin Sect's offensive.

Just as the situation was looking good and victory was in sight, a loud "bang" suddenly rang out. Elder Xu could no longer hold on and was defeated by the elders of the Yunyin Sect. He fell heavily to the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"It's over, it's over, the elder has fallen, run."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted.

This sudden change threw the people of Tianjian Sect into chaos.

Elder Kong in the sky also noticed the situation below. His face changed, his mind was inadvertently confused for a moment, and the sword moves in his hand were slightly delayed.

Suddenly!

Elder Fan of the Yunyin Sect, who had been closely following the battle situation, keenly caught the flaw in Elder Kong's swordsmanship. He seized this rare opportunity without hesitation and used his unique skills.

He suddenly swung the sword in his hand, and a dazzling sword light rushed towards Elder Kong like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Elder Kong was shocked when he saw this and realized that he had made a serious mistake, but it was too late to remedy it.

He hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was too late. The sharp sword light still scratched his arm and blood gushed out.

Instantly!

Elder Kong's face turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He endured the severe pain and shouted, "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

He knew very well that this battle had no chance of winning and that continuing to fight would only lead to more casualties and losses.

So he decisively issued an order to retreat, hoping to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and preserve his strength.

"what!"

Accompanied by a scream, a disciple of the Tianjian Sect was stabbed in the chest by someone from the Yunyin Sect, and blood gushed out.

Upon seeing this, the other Tianjian Sect disciples fled in terror, having completely lost their fighting spirit.

Elder Kong looked at the chaotic situation in front of him and became extremely anxious.

He kept shouting, "Everyone, calm down and hold your ground!"

However, at this time, the disciples of Tianjian Sect were already panicked, like ants on a hot pan, and could not listen to his words at all.

Most of the disciples of the Tianjian Sect fled everywhere like stray dogs, with only one thought in their minds - to survive.

On the other side, the morale of the Yunyin Sect disciples was high. They pursued the victory and ruthlessly killed the fleeing Tianjian Sect disciples.

Elder Kong looked at the situation in front of him, and regardless of his injured arm, he continued to wave the sword in his hand, desperately covering the retreat of the remaining disciples of the Tianjian Sect.

Ren Yuxuan supported Elder Xu and followed the disciples of the Tianjian Sect to resist the attacks of the Yunyin Sect while retreating along the way they came.

Finally, they disappeared into the distant mountains and forests, leaving behind a mess and corpses all over the ground.

The disciples of the Yunyin Sect were still thinking about continuing the pursuit, but Elder Fan of the Yunyin Sect saw the Tianjian Sect's defeat, thought for a moment, and decisively ordered: "Return to defend!"

He was worried that the Tianjian Sect would set an ambush, and defending Zi Yan Mountain was the most important task!

The disciples of the Yunyin Sect immediately stopped the pursuit and turned back to Ziyan Mountain.

......

In the forest near Ziyan Mountain, a hushed silence enveloped the surroundings. The elders and disciples sat quietly on the ground, swallowing healing pills and trying their best to recover from their injuries.

Everyone's face was gloomy, the atmosphere was extremely low, and their eyes were full of loss and frustration, as if they had lost all hope.

Li Qingyuan stood silently by, looking at the injured students around him with an expressionless face.

He knew in his heart that this was the cruel reality of the martial arts path.

In this world, the strong prey on the weak, life and death are unpredictable, and only the strong can survive.

The battle was short but extremely fierce.

Both sides paid a heavy price, and the disciples of the Tianjian Sect also suffered considerable losses. Many were injured, and some were even killed!
