Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

The enormous flying elephant, exuding a terrifying aura, spread its broad, powerful wings and soared into the sky with a powerful flap. When it reached a certain height, it suddenly raised its incredibly thick foot and slammed it down with the force of a thunderbolt towards the protective array below! This slam contained the power of tens of tons, as if it could tear the heavens and the earth apart.

With a deafening roar, several shocking cracks instantly appeared above the protective array, spreading rapidly like a spiderweb. Simultaneously, the triangular rhinoceros, not to be outdone, strode forward with heavy, solid steps, charging straight at the array like a moving hill. Its three sharp horns gleamed coldly as it crashed into the array with overwhelming force. In an instant, another earth-shattering sound rang out, and the array suffered further damage, with even more cracks appearing on its surface.

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were stunned by what they saw. They stared wide-eyed at the two giant beasts in the sky, muttering to themselves, "What... what kind of demonic beasts are these?" Despite their fear, the disciples dared not slacken their efforts and desperately poured their true essence into the formation, trying to stabilize the crumbling protective array.

However, the flying elephant and the triangular rhinoceros showed no sign of stopping, continuing their fierce attacks wave after wave. Just then, He Wei stepped forward, joining forces with his disciples to resist the two demonic beasts' onslaught. For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the entire scene tense and almost unbearable.

As time went on, Dong Wu gradually felt his strength waning. His true energy was being depleted too quickly, and his body was on the verge of collapse. Left with no other choice, he had to temporarily cease his attack and take out a precious pill from his robes, swallowing it. After the pill entered his stomach, a warm current quickly spread throughout his body, and Dong Wu felt himself regaining some strength. Immediately afterward, he clenched his fists, let out a loud shout, gathered the remaining true energy in his body into his fists, and then suddenly unleashed a powerful blow, striking He Wei hard from behind!

Caught off guard, He Wei was sent flying forward by the sudden attack, finally crashing heavily to the ground. Seeing this, He Ying, standing some distance away, was frantic with worry. She cried out, "Dad!"

Having lost He Wei's true essence support, the sect's protective formation, which was already on the verge of collapse, could no longer withstand the fierce attacks of the flying elephant and the triangular rhinoceros. With a final roar, the formation shattered completely, turning into countless fragments scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Feilong, who had been waiting for an opportunity, flashed to He Wei's side and glared at Dong Wu, shouting, "Elder Dong, I never expected you to be a traitor too!" Faced with Wu Feilong's accusation, Dong Wu sneered and slowly said, "Hmph, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

At this moment, the Flying Elephant and the Triangular Rhinoceros did not attack the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Instead, they turned around and rushed towards the Five Finger Mountain in the distance. With each violent impact, the entire mountain began to shake violently, boulders tumbled down, and dust billowed, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The five Supreme Elders, their faces grave, could no longer remain seated in the forbidden area. With a flash, they sped out of the forbidden area like five shooting stars.

Gongsun He stared sharply at the mysterious person before him—Zitong—and shouted, "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose here?"

Zi Tong's face was ashen, and she coldly replied, "Hand over the Qilin, or don't blame us for unleashing a massacre!" Her voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, carrying endless chill.

"Absolutely impossible!" Gongsun He roared, his eyes wide with fury. Then, with a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Form the formation!" At this command, the five Grand Elders swiftly dispersed, surrounding Zi Tong in a mysterious and unpredictable array. In an instant, spiritual energy surged between heaven and earth, and a massive Five Elements Sword Formation gradually took shape.

Just then, a deafening roar echoed from afar. Looking in the direction of the sound, everyone saw a towering mountain peak being smashed down by two enormous, ferocious beasts—a flying elephant and a triangular rhinoceros. Debris flew everywhere, dust billowed, and the scene was utterly terrifying. The two beasts did not stop their destructive rampage, and immediately charged towards a second mountain peak.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the two collapsed mountain peaks, a dark figure appeared silently behind Gongsun He like a ghost. A flash of cold light, and an incredibly sharp curved blade pierced through Gongsun He's back, reaching his chest. However, before anyone could see the attacker's face, the dark figure vanished without a trace, just like a ghost.

Gongsun He, severely injured, coughed up blood, but he endured the excruciating pain and retreated rapidly. At the same time, Zi Tong formed hand seals and chanted incantations, unleashing a powerful summoning spell. In an instant, a ten-meter-long blood nephew shot out from the magic circle, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Gongsun He.

Seeing the situation was dire, Zhou Shen dared not hesitate and quickly channeled his inner energy into the sword in his hand. The sword shone brightly, instantly transforming into a giant sword thirty meters long, which slashed fiercely at Xue Zhi with earth-shattering force.

With a crisp "crack," the Blood Nephew was cleaved in two at the waist by the greatsword's powerful attack. But unexpectedly, the Blood Nephew didn't die; instead, it split into two. One continued its attack on Gongsun He, while the other turned and pounced on Liao Zhi.

Liao Zhi swung his longsword fiercely, unleashing a sharp sword aura that sliced ​​Xue Nephew in two. However, before anyone could react, the two halves of Xue Nephew instantly transformed into two clouds of blood mist, rapidly dissipating into the air as if they had never existed.

Just then, Mo Jia, who had been concealed, suddenly appeared. Holding a gleaming curved blade, she sped towards Liao Zhi like a ghost. At the same time, she silently appeared behind Yan Qing like a phantom, and without warning, swung her fist, creating a powerful gust of wind, and slammed it hard into Yan Qing's back.

Fortunately, Yan Qing was prepared. Just as Mo Jia's fist was about to strike him, a huge shield appeared out of thin air behind him. With a dull thud, the shield shattered, but Yan Qing used the impact to retreat rapidly. Although he suffered a considerable shock, he was fortunately unharmed.

On the other side, Wu Xing looked around warily, then flew towards Gongsun He, anxiously shouting, "Brother Gongsun, these two are really troublesome! The woman is skilled in spirit communication, and the other can even stealthily attack. What should we do?"

Gongsun He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Help me buy some time!" With that, he pulled an ancient scroll from his robes. The scroll was densely covered with various mysterious runes, emitting bursts of strange light.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xing's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Are you planning to use the spirit sword seal to deal with them?"

Gongsun He nodded slightly in affirmation. Having received the reply, Wu Xing no longer hesitated. He immediately gripped his sword, intently watching for any movement around him, hoping to buy Gongsun He more time. Gongsun He, meanwhile, focused wholeheartedly on setting up the seal.
