Emperor Qiankun

As the soul-devouring beasts approached, everyone's heartbeat became more and more rapid.

Li Qingyuan stared at the front, the green sword in his hand trembling slightly. It was not fear, but the excitement brought by the power that was about to explode.

Chen Lingyu stood aside, his face stern and his eyes revealing determination. He knew that this battle was related to everyone's life and death, and there was no room for retreat!

......

The soul-devouring beasts surged in like a black tide, and there were as many as hundreds of them!

The soul-devouring beast in the lead was extremely large, with ferocious and greedy light flashing in its eyes.

It exudes a powerful aura that makes people shudder.

Obviously, this is a soul-devouring beast that is infinitely close to the late fourth stage, and its strength is extremely terrifying.

Then, the soul-devouring beast raised its head and let out a deafening roar, the sound resounding through the sky, as if announcing its dominant position to everyone.

The roar sent a chill down the spine of everyone present.

But Li Qingyuan was not afraid at all.

He tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and his body shot out like an arrow, rushing straight towards the leading soul-devouring beast.

The sword in his hand drew a bright and shining arc in the air, carrying an extremely sharp momentum, and slashed fiercely at the head of the soul-devouring beast.

The Soul-Devouring Beast reacted extremely quickly, immediately raising its huge claws to meet the slashing sword.

"clang"

The two collided with a loud bang and sparks flew.

Li Qingyuan's arm was slightly numb from the powerful force, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.

Then, he used the Qingfeng sword technique, and the sword force suddenly became as agile and sharp as the breeze blowing across your face.

......

Chen Lingyu naturally did not want to be outdone. With a flash of his body, he rushed into the group of soul-devouring beasts like a ghost. The sword in his hand flickered, and each sword was filled with sharp sword energy, killing each third-level or fourth-level early soul-devouring beast with his sword.

His movements were as fast as lightning and his swordsmanship was so sharp that the group of soul-devouring beasts were completely unable to resist.

At the same time, the disciples of Lingyin Pavilion and Haoyue Pavilion also displayed their unique skills.

Some disciples formed seals with their hands and chanted something. Rays of light shot out from their hands and transformed into various forms of attacks, such as flying swords, fireballs, etc., attacking the soul-devouring beast.

Some disciples held magic weapons in their hands, and when they waved them, they emitted powerful spiritual power fluctuations, repelling the soul-devouring beasts one by one.

Gu Yuyan stood in the center of the crowd. Compared to Li Qingyuan and Chen Lingyu, her strength was slightly weaker, but she had unique abilities.

She held an exquisite "Xun" in her hand and played it gently.

The melodious music seemed to have magical power, boosting everyone's fighting power.

At the same time, the music also tried to influence the soul of the Soul Devourer on the opposite side, but unfortunately the Soul Devourer's soul was very strong, and the weakening effect was almost insignificant.

The battle was extremely fierce, and disciples were constantly injured. Many of them were covered with hideous wounds and blood was gushing out, but they still resisted stubbornly.

Hundreds of soul-devouring beasts rushed towards the crowd like a tide.

Their eyes occasionally emit a strange and inexplicable light, which is eerie and terrifying, as if it can captivate people.

The Soul-Devouring Beast's claws were as sharp as blades, flashing with cold light.

Bursts of black mist spurted out of their bloody mouths. The black mist emitted a pungent smell that made many disciples vomit.

But the people did not retreat. They united closely, supported each other, and fought against the attacks of the Soul Devouring Beast together.

......

Time passed minute by minute, and the battle gradually entered a white-hot stage.

Li Qingyuan had been injured in many places, his clothes were stained with blood, and he felt severe pain in the wounds, but his eyes remained firm.

He could feel that the aura of the soul-devouring beast opposite was gradually decreasing, and its attack power was becoming weaker and weaker.

As long as he holds on a little longer, he will be able to kill this soul-devouring beast that is infinitely close to the late fourth stage!

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came: "Someone is dead!"

This shout was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the originally stable formation.

Panic surged in the hearts of the disciples. They knew that with the first death, there might be a second, a third...

As expected, more than a dozen disciples fell in a pool of blood.

"Retreat quickly, quickly!"

Chen Lingyu was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Similarly, Li Qingyuan did not dare to fight any longer. He slashed at the Soul-Devouring Beast's head with his sword again, then decisively followed everyone in quickly evacuating.

The crowd fought and retreated, and an hour passed quickly, but they did not get far.

The soul-devouring beast behind him kept chasing him and refused to give up.

Li Qingyuan, Chen Lingyu and Gu Yuyan stayed behind the group and were responsible for covering their retreat.

At this time, Li Qingyuan and Chen Lingyu were covered with wounds, bleeding continuously, their clothes were tattered, and they were almost naked, revealing their skin full of wounds. They looked extremely miserable.

Gu Yuyan was not in a much better condition. Her originally gorgeous skirt was now mostly torn, revealing large areas of her snow-white skin. Her beauty was exposed, making her feel ashamed and annoyed. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and kill herself.

Fortunately, she glanced at Li Qingyuan and the other two and found that they didn't notice her embarrassment, so she felt a little relieved.

In this way, the soul-devouring beast chased them all the way and they fled all the way.

......

I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly I heard a fierce fighting sound coming from the front.

Everyone cheered up and quickened their pace to move forward.

A moment later, they came closer and found that it was Yang Haochen's group.

There are less than 30 people left in their group now, and their losses are even more severe than those of Li Qingyuan and his group.

What Yang Haochen was facing at this time was also a soul-devouring beast that was infinitely close to the late fourth stage.

But his condition was not good and he was having a hard time fighting.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Li Qingyuan and the others and hurriedly shouted, "Come and help! If you can escape this disaster, this prince will reward you handsomely!"

Li Qingyuan: "......"

Chen Lingyu: “…”

Only Gu Yuyan felt a little shaken, after all, the ginseng fruit was still with Yang Haochen.

Perhaps seeing that Li Qingyuan and the others didn't care about him, Yang Haochen turned his gaze to Gu Yuyan and said, "Gu Yuyan, don't you want to save your uncle? The ginseng fruit is right here. If you are willing to help me, I will give it all to you!"

Li Qingyuan and Chen Lingyu both looked at Gu Yuyan at the same time.

Gu Yuyan was extremely conflicted at this moment.

If you choose to save Yang Haochen, then the group of disciples behind him will probably be killed by more than half. You know, these are the elite disciples in the sect!

But if she didn't save him, her second uncle might lose his life. He was her own second uncle, how could she bear to watch him die without saving him!

For a moment, Gu Yuyan was caught in a dilemma!
