Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

Chapter 304 The Heavenly Sect is Attacked

Just then, a Tianzong disciple on patrol spotted the menacing group of demonic beasts. He turned pale with fright and shouted in terror, "It's bad! Demonic beasts are attacking! Everyone, quickly activate the sect's protective formation!" His desperate cry instantly echoed throughout the entire Tianzong sect, and alarm bells rang loudly as the sect erupted in a cacophony of voices.

Upon hearing the alarm, numerous elders of the Heavenly Sect rushed out from their respective cultivation grounds. They moved with lightning speed, their feet treading the void, and in the blink of an eye, they converged. Each elder wore a solemn expression, chanting incantations while their hands rapidly formed various intricate and mysterious hand seals. As they performed their incantations, a dazzling circular shield slowly rose from the ground, enveloping the entire Heavenly Sect within it.

Just then, the Demon Lord and Tianjizi arrived together at the gates of the Heavenly Sect. Tianjizi gripped a Bagua compass that shimmered with strange light, his eyes slightly closed as he intently calculated the weaknesses of the protective array before him. However, just as the array was about to close completely, the Demon Lord unhesitatingly unleashed his unique skill—the Light Transformation Escape Technique. In an instant, he transformed into a dazzling stream of light, rushing into the protective array with lightning speed.

Upon entering the grand formation, the Demon Lord did not pause but instead charged straight towards the Demon-Locking Tower deep within the Heavenly Sect. He gripped a long, blood-red blade in his right hand, emanating a thick, pungent aura of blood, and slashed fiercely down at the Demon-Locking Tower. In an instant, the blade's light flashed like a rainbow, unstoppable, and the entire Demon-Locking Tower trembled slightly from the powerful force.

The nine-tailed fox, trapped inside the Demon-Sealing Tower, keenly sensed the unusual activity outside, especially when she smelled the familiar scent of blood. Overjoyed, she cried out excitedly, "Haha! It must be the Demon Lord Blood Bat coming to rescue us! Sisters, give it your all, we'll be free soon!"

Seeing the Demon Lord so easily break through the sect's protective formation and launch an attack on the Demon-Locking Tower, Pei Wushuang was extremely anxious. His eyes widened in anger, and he roared at everyone, "Quick! Everyone listen to my command! You must do everything in your power to stop that villain! We cannot let him succeed!"

Pei Wushuang, who usually appeared nonchalant and carefree, seemed like a completely different person at this moment, his expression serious and focused. He gripped the Evil-Repelling Sword, which emitted a mysterious light, tightly with both hands, and his figure shot towards the Demon Lord Blood Bat with lightning speed.

Facing the menacing Pei Wushuang, the Blood Bat let out a cold laugh: "Hmph! You ignorant fools, daring to challenge this Demon Lord? Then let me show you my power—Water and Fire Dual Heaven!" Before the words were finished, the Blood Bat suddenly transformed back into its original gigantic form. This terrifying monster actually had two heads, sharing the same body. One head continuously spewed out highly toxic black water, while the other head spewed out raging crimson poisonous fire. In an instant, a surging water dragon and a ferocious fire dragon roared and pounced towards the group.

Seeing this, Pei Wushuang knew he couldn't fight back head-on, so he quickly dodged to the side. However, the overwhelming poisonous fire and water were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already ravaged the Tianzong territory. Many Tianzong disciples were caught off guard and had no time to dodge; instantly, many were corroded by the terrifying poison and collapsed to their deaths. Even several highly respected elders could only hastily evade to avoid being poisoned themselves.

Just then, Elder Mu Chengtian of the Heavenly Sect roared and spat out a torrent of seawater. This seawater rapidly condensed in the air into a gigantic water dragon, charging straight towards the ferocious flames with a fierce aura. Unfortunately, this water dragon appeared so small and fragile before the powerful fire dragon, like a helpless chick encountering an invincible eagle. The fire dragon opened its blood-red maw and easily swallowed the water dragon whole.

Without the elders and disciples working together to maintain the sect's protective formation, the ever-watchful demonic beasts finally got their chance. They surged towards the Heavenly Sect like madmen. In an instant, shouts of battle and screams of agony filled the air, plunging the entire Heavenly Sect into utter chaos and panic.

At the same time, Tianjizi used his unparalleled lightness skill to fly to the front of the Demon-Locking Tower. Relying on the valuable information he had previously acquired about this mysterious ancient tower, he began to concentrate on calculating how to break the seal within. Meanwhile, the ferocious blood bats appeared silently behind Tianjizi like ghosts, continuously spewing deadly poisonous fire and water in all directions, making the already panicked situation even more critical.

"Hai Lou, contact the sect leader immediately! The situation is critical!" Pei Wushuang urged Wan Hai Lou beside him anxiously. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he looked extremely tense.

Just then, the blood bat suddenly roared, "Divine Realm—Ice and Fire Hell!" In an instant, a powerful divine realm force swept in like a tidal wave, quickly enveloping the entire Heavenly Sect. Ice and fire intertwined, forming a terrifying torrent of energy that frantically invaded the bodies of every disciple within the Heavenly Sect.

Before Wan Hailou could even send a telepathic message to the sect leader, he was struck by this sudden, chilling force and instantly frozen into a crystal-clear ice sculpture.

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" Seeing his fellow disciples suffer such severe injuries, Pei Wushuang was enraged and swallowed a precious Breakthrough Pill without hesitation. The pill entered his throat and its effects took hold instantly. His aura surged like a volcanic eruption, forcibly raising his cultivation to the early stage of the Divine Venerable realm.

Immediately afterward, Pei Wushuang, sword in hand, swung it fiercely, unleashing a sharp and unparalleled sword aura. With a crisp "crack," the ice before them shattered instantly, scattering into countless ice fragments. The disciples and elders who had been bound by the ice were finally freed, regaining their freedom.

However, the battle was far from over. Pei Wushuang knew his enemy was formidable and dared not slacken his efforts. He silently chanted an incantation and unleashed his ultimate technique—Man and Sword as One. He became one with the Evil-Repelling Sword in his hand, radiating an overwhelming aura. In an instant, sword light flashed, and sword intent crisscrossed, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart.

The surging sword intent was like a violent hurricane, sweeping towards the surrounding demonic beasts with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, the demonic beasts screamed in agony as their bodies were instantly shredded into dust and vanished without a trace.

Despite Pei Wushuang's fierce attack, the blood bat remained unfazed. It sneered and unleashed its own powerful divine ability—Crimson Divine Light. It opened its gaping maw and spewed out two beams of scarlet light. These two beams intertwined and merged in mid-air, instantly transforming into a gigantic crimson giant sword.

"Boom!" The two giant swords collided violently, producing a deafening roar. The shockwave from the impact spread outwards, whipping up gusts of wind and sending sand and stones flying. The two giant swords remained locked in mid-air, evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, seeing the situation was dire, the other elders of the Heavenly Sect knew that staying there would only lead to their deaths, so they scattered and fled to find their own way to survive.

"Ah!" Pei Wushuang suddenly roared, his aura erupting like a volcano, surging wildly once more and intensifying. The Evil-Repelling Sword in his hand shone even brighter, relentlessly suppressing the blood-stained sword opposite him, as he pressed closer and closer to the blood bat.
