As soon as the roar subsided, three figures rushed to the spot below where the figure had been burned to ashes, to investigate the situation.
Their physical characteristics are almost identical, suggesting they are indeed from the same ethnic group.
They rummaged around, as if searching for the body of the screaming person.
Three people...
Guan Xun's eyes were scrutinizing as he swept his gaze over them, but his expression suddenly changed.
With a sudden slash of the longsword, the resulting dark flames instantly transformed into a fiery barrier.
"Oh!"
A flash of white light, the air turbulent, as if a huge rift had been torn open in space, only to close again in an instant.
Guan Xun's wrist trembled, and he felt a faint numbness throughout his entire arm.
Her expression turned slightly solemn, and when she turned to look to her right, her gaze gradually became sinister.
There was one more person hiding, making a total of four people.
Such powerful attack force! Not only is his strength superior to hers, but he is also an extremely rare Light attribute user.
The second-in-command retreated rapidly, his feet landing heavily on the loess hill, a chilling and powerful aura emanating from his body.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the people fighting on the ground behind them, who looked at the source of the aura with suspicion and uncertainty.
Zhao Gui's expression turned extremely ugly. These auras were clearly hostile and undoubtedly aimed at them.
No, to be precise, it was aimed at Guan Xun.
He kicked the man in black away and was about to go to help when he was blocked by someone.
Zhao Wuji's gaze swept toward the source of the powerful aura, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink, but he still shook his head: "The other party's cultivation level is far superior to ours. If we go there, it will only cause trouble for the young lady."
The elder brother's words made sense. Zhao Gui's face darkened, he gritted his teeth, and attacked the man in black next to him with his left hand.
That's all he can do. Hopefully, the girl can handle it...
"Second brother, kill her!" The leader below held a pile of black ash, his teeth grinding together, staring at Guan Xun with a sinister look.
Guan Xun glanced sideways and was shocked to discover that the old man who had spoken was the one with the highest cultivation level among the four.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her heart tightened. Although she could use dark flames to fight back, if the opponent, like that old man from the Northern Shift True Monarch, sought another method to attack her, and the four of them cooperated, it would be quite difficult to deal with them...
"Hmph!" The second-in-command's face was contorted with rage, his hatred burning like a raging fire, making his features twist. "Yes, Big Brother!"
At his command, with a clanging sound, silver chains shot out from his body and coiled behind him.
With his fierce shout, the iron chains snapped and broke, revealing sharp blades that flashed with terrifying white light.
"No one has ever dared to cause such trouble here before. You are the first. You will stay and pay for the third brother's life!"
As soon as the chilling words fell, the second-in-command suddenly moved his palms, and the blade chains that were swirling behind him shot out, instantly slicing through the sky at a speed that was too fast to see clearly.
call out!call out!call out!
As the white blade shot towards her, Guan Xun stomped forward heavily, and dark flames instantly burst forth, creating dazzling sparks that layered upon each other in front of her.
Dark Flame was already extraordinary, and now, with her growing strength, she is naturally even more domineering, far surpassing what she was a few years ago.
Even if the opponent's level is much higher than hers, as long as they use spiritual power, they can be burned by the dark flames.
Therefore, the current attacks are nothing to fear for her.
However, just when Guan Xun was confident that the incoming attacks would be completely burned away, the sharp white blades grazed the barriers, piercing through them with streaks of white light.
One after another, they opened up channels for the white blades behind them, taking advantage of the brief openings in the flames to advance layer by layer!
It wasn't burned to ashes the instant it came into contact with the dark flames?!
Guan Xun's pupils flashed as he carefully examined the white blade that had just displayed its divine power but ultimately could not withstand the burning of the dark flames and turned to ashes.
It became clear in an instant.
If the blade, which is involuntarily drawn to the burning dark flames, it means that the blade flashing with white light does not possess spiritual power.
Then it can only be a magical artifact made of special materials, and its grade must be high.
Seeing his weapon burned, the second-in-command's face turned pale and then red. He stubbornly pushed forward with both hands, and the white blade reappeared, attacking upwards one after another.
However, the result was exactly the same as before; they were all burned to ashes and couldn't even touch a hair on the person above.
He was startled and turned to look at the leader: "Big Brother!"
This commotion was naturally noticed by the group.
The leader clenched his fists, and black ash leaked out from between his fingers, scattering in the hot air.
It was indeed an extremely strange fire. When they came out, they had already sensed that the fire would burn spiritual energy, which was why they used spiritual weapons to attack it. However, they did not expect that they would still be burned.
This fire is incredibly powerful!
Flames that can burn away spiritual energy... He felt like he had heard of them somewhere before, and after pondering for a while, he finally had a suspicion.
Legend has it that the mythical beast, the ancient Fierce Phoenix, possesses an immortal fire. This fire is indestructible and undying, with an extremely high and domineering temperature, capable of burning everything.
Could this be the Undying Flame?
Upon considering this possibility, the leader's dark eyes deepened. He suppressed his anger and his withered lips moved as he secretly transmitted something to the others.
No matter how subtle the movement, it could not escape Guan Xun's eyes. A meaningful smile appeared on her lips as she glanced a few more times at the magical artifact behind the second-in-command.
This magical artifact is quite interesting.
No matter what those old men are plotting, it's all in vain if they can't get through the Dark Flame Barrier.
She wouldn't give the other party a chance to plot...
He casually glanced down, flicked his finger, and the dark flames swirling around him burst forth.
Like divine punishment fire falling from the sky, it landed and took root with a series of thuds.
The leaders' bodies shone with a bright silver light, and with a tremor, they retreated rapidly. Illusory afterimages darted around under the falling fire, their speed so fast that they were difficult to catch.
Guan Xun frowned slightly, his divine sense tracking and locking onto the figures of the group.
Suddenly, my mind tensed up.
These people seemed to be fleeing and avoiding contact with the dark flames, but each of their paths was somewhat strange. They looked chaotic, but in fact, they were intersecting each other in an orderly manner.
It was like... fiddling with something.
Even if she didn't understand things that required multiple people to set up a shop, she could guess a thing or two after experiencing them.
The formation is similar to that of the Burning Phoenix Manor.
The thought had barely formed in his mind when the leaders gathered together, piling up on top of each other. A blinding white light immediately surged out from their sides like waves, forming a round barrier.
Suddenly, the eyes of the group burst forth with white light as they stared intently at Guan Xun, and the hair on their bodies began to stand on end, making them look like hedgehogs.
He placed both hands on the sides of his face and then opened his mouth wide!
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak—"
The sharp, piercing shriek seemed to pierce the soul, bringing forth waves of white air, like demonic music played, spreading in all directions.
As soon as the sound waves appeared, the figures fighting far behind all froze, their faces turning as pale as paper.
As the shockwave swept past, they staggered, their bodies flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow, crashing heavily onto the rocks, spitting out blood.
The eardrums stung, and the mind went blank; such a horrifying sound was far beyond what the human body could tolerate.
While the puppets were not severely affected, they stood still and did not move when the airwaves struck them.
The rubble and bones on the ground had long been shattered, and even the dark flames were shaken back and forth.
The moment the sound wave swept out, Guan Xun felt his head spinning, his vision spun, and he could barely see his surroundings, even his divine sense was affected.
She instinctively covered her ears with her hands, but the sound waves she heard didn't decrease at all; in fact, they became even more intense.
The tremor was so intense it felt like her internal organs were about to shatter. She couldn't help but groan, and then she felt the tremors beneath her feet. Even the Dark Flame seemed to be losing its balance.
Such a powerful and bizarre formation! It can wipe out the enemy without even using spiritual power.
Sound waves are invisible and only travel through the air, so the dark flames naturally cannot burn them.
Guan Xun's face was almost contorted in anger, his brows furrowed, and he immediately knew how to respond.
She shook her head violently a few times to clear her mind briefly, her voice slightly hoarse from the pressure: "Frozen for Thousands of Miles!"
Countless wisps of cold air immediately emanated from beneath her feet with her chilling shout, while at the same time the dark flames receded, replaced by ice crystals that condensed inch by inch.
"Crack, click..."
The ice spread rapidly in all directions from her center, freezing even the dust that was slightly stirred up and falling to the ground.
The entire long canyon was crystal clear for a moment, like a bright mirror, reflecting even the moonlight projected from the sky.
Extremely cold, even colder than the snowy plateau.
Everyone present was frozen solid, like ice sculptures. The guards looked at each other in terror, completely unaware of what had happened.
One second they were fighting, the next they felt a chill seep into their bodies, and in the blink of an eye they were unable to move.
The ear-piercing, demonic sound stopped the instant the leaders were frozen solid.
The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet.
Guan Xun stood high on the ice peak, regulating his internal energy. After a while, he took a deep breath.
She glanced around at the lifelike ice sculptures, which looked as if they had been meticulously sculpted and were meant to be admired, before gently landing on the ground.
The leaders were extremely anxious at this moment. While they were using the sound wave matrix, the eldest leader had been keeping a close watch on the surroundings with his divine sense, and he was fully aware of the effects on everyone.
All the movements in the vicinity naturally did not escape his eyes. Almost the instant he sensed the chill rising, he and his brothers began to defend themselves. Although their movements were quick, they were still no match for the speed of the freezing.
It's a pity that the third brother has already perished; otherwise, with the sonic array deployed by the five of them, the enemy would never have had a chance to make a move.
"Brother, although this person's level seems to be below yours and mine, the methods he uses are extremely strange, and his speed is also extremely fast. It is not the kind of strength that someone of his age can display!"
The second-in-command's expression turned solemn, and he coldly transmitted his voice, "I'm afraid it's that old hag disguised herself and hiding her true strength!"
Upon hearing this, the fourth and fifth leaders were immediately filled with astonishment. Anyone who could elicit such a judgment from the second leader must be extraordinary. Could it be that they would all be defeated here today? Or worse, lose their lives?
"Ha!" The leader's face was full of anger, and the hatred in his heart was like a spreading vine, tightly binding his heart. The corners of his mouth, which were already downturned, drooped even more. "Concentrate and break the ice!"
After saying that, the spiritual energy in his body surged around him, causing his arms to swell and cracks to appear from the inside out on the ice covering his body.
Then, it let out a furious roar like a bull's bellow, and pushed outwards with both arms! A loud bang resounded, and the ice instantly shattered into countless sharp fragments, which flew out in all directions.
The constraints that had bound them were thus broken.
"He's just getting a slight edge by using underhanded tricks. What can his petty methods do to me?" Enraged, the leader sneered. "His face can be disguised, but his body cannot. We'll find out once we capture him and examine him closely!"
"Even if she really is an old hag, she'll look the same when she covers her face. At the very least, she'll be a remarkable puppet."
"Big Brother is right!" The fourth and fifth leaders echoed each other. The two glanced around at the surroundings, which were shrouded in a white, cold mist, then exchanged a look before disappearing from the spot in a flash.
Their years of cooperation and tacit understanding allowed them to comprehend the next steps of the plan with just a glance; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to dominate Shilidao for so long.
The second-in-command made a hand gesture, his whole body surrounded by white light. Then a clattering sound came out, and immediately, about four or five silver iron chains flashed out and coiled around his upper back, with white blades protruding and killing intent surging.
"You old hag, prepare to die..." the second-in-command bared his teeth and roared, his figure flashing out from the side.
The leader slammed his tail hard against the ice, then twisted his wrist sharply, and flames flashed in his palm, instantly coalescing into a long staff enveloped in flames.
The stick was reddish, as if it were stained with blood.
He pounded the ground with his stick, a ferocious glint in his eyes, and an ugly smile on his wrinkled face, as if he could almost foresee Guan Xun's miserable death the next moment.
"I'll make you understand what the price you'll pay for causing trouble here and offending my people!"
His eyes narrowed, then flashed with a fierce light as he opened them, simultaneously extending his divine sense rapidly across the surroundings: "If you know what's good for you, kneeling down and kowtowing to confess your sins might offer a sliver of hope; otherwise..."
"Otherwise?" A voice, light yet chilling, suddenly came from the cold mist ahead.
The chief's divine sense had only traveled a few meters away when it detected a scorching heat. He was startled when a slightly fiery red figure slowly appeared in front of him.
"Otherwise, what can you do?"
