Chapter 271 Resistance
"Hurry! The demonic beasts in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons are all high-level demonic beasts, and there are too many of them. Those demonic cultivators are all at the level of Demon Lords. Now, the territories of the human race, the demon race, and the demon race have been mostly occupied by those demons. The Azure Cloud Sect is about to collapse."
Qin Muyang held Xie Wanning's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
"What exactly happened? How did you get so badly injured?" Xie Wanning asked anxiously as she recovered from her shock.
Qin Muyang quickly said, "Wan Ning, just three hours ago, the seal on the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons broke, causing all the demons in the Abyss to escape. They are highly skilled and there are too many of them. I was injured when I returned to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to resist the demons."
"Most of the cultivation world has fallen. Demonic beasts and demonic cultivators have occupied most of the land." Qin Muyang's eyes were filled with deep despair.
Xie Wanning grasped Qin Muyang's hand back and said firmly, "There will be a way."
Qin Muyang's tense body slowly relaxed, and his previously cold face lost all color. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. Then his legs went weak, and he fell straight backward, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
“His injuries are too severe,” Xie Wanxun said.
Xie Wanning gave Qin Muyang a Grade 9 Recovery Pill.
"I'll protect the disciples of Qingyun Sect first, then I'll go find the masters. Sister, will you come with me?" Xie Wanning said decisively.
Xie Wanxun shook her head and turned to walk towards the door.
"The Demon Realm has suffered a severe attack, and I need to go back to provide support." Xie Wanxun held a small paper figure in her hand, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes.
"Sister, be careful!"
Xie Wanxun turned to look at Xie Wanning and handed the small paper figure to her: "If you are in any danger, burn it anytime, and I will come to help you immediately."
After saying that, Xie Wanxun quickly disappeared from Xie Wanning's sight.
Xie Wanning looked at the little paper figure in her hand. Unlike the other red paper figures, it was black.
Clutching the small paper figure in her hand, Xie Wanning walked out of the room.
On the horizon, dark clouds surged like raging waves, swallowing up the last remaining glimmer of light. The earth trembled, and a muffled rumble came from afar, like a thousand thunderbolts raging underground.
With this terrifying sound, the figure of a monster emerged from the darkness. Leading it was a colossal beast, as large as a mountain, its body covered in rough, black scales, each the size of a shield, gleaming coldly in the dim light. Its head resembled a small mountain, its scarlet vertical pupils burning with endless savagery and bloodlust. Its thick limbs pounded the ground, carving deep craters, causing the earth to crack and rocks to fly wherever they went.
All around, smaller but equally ferocious monsters surged in like a tide. They came in all shapes and sizes; some had sharp fangs protruding from the corners of their mouths, dripping with nauseating saliva; some had huge bat wings stretching out from their backs, circling low in the air and bringing with them gusts of foul wind; and others were surrounded by eerie purple mist, which instantly withered the vegetation and mercilessly drained life from wherever they went.
The protective array of Qingyun Sect shattered under the impact of the demonic beasts, leaving the mountainside covered with huge claw marks and impact marks.
Within the sect, the disciples, their faces deathly pale, continued to fight desperately. Their shouts seemed so insignificant amidst the roars of the magical beasts, and their weapons often left only shallow marks on the beasts' tough hides.
On the mountain peak, flames roared, and houses collapsed one after another under the rampage of the demonic beasts, raising clouds of dust. The disciples struggled to resist, their cries and pleas for help mingling together. One disciple fell to the ground, and an eighth-rank Sharp-Clawed Tiger leaped high, pouncing on him, its sharp claws gleaming coldly in the firelight.
"Bang!"
The chilling Luo Ze sword blocked the Claw Tiger's path. Xie Wan Ning kicked it, sending the Claw Tiger flying like an arrow and crashing heavily into a tree.
"Sect Leader..." The young disciple's voice was broken with emotion as he spoke with gratitude. He gripped Xie Wan Ning's clothes tightly, and his trembling body gradually calmed down.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you," Xie Wanning comforted her gently.
The next moment, she raised her hand and flicked her sword. With a light swipe, the ice blade emitted a sharp whistling sound, carrying a biting cold wind. Wherever it passed, the air was instantly frozen, leaving a winding white frost trail.
The tiger with sharp claws that pounced was instantly cut in two.
Xie Wanning's light blue eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, and her hair ribbon fluttered in the cold wind.
She looked around; the frenzied roars of demonic beasts, the desperate cries of disciples, and the booming sounds of spells mingled together, making her eardrums ache. Blood stained the earth, mixing with the yellow sand to form a shocking dark red swamp. Wounded cultivators and demonic beasts struggled on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Luo Ze, Gui Chen, go!"
At Xie Wanning's command, two spirit swords flew out instantly, swiftly hunting down magical beasts on the battlefield. As the blades flew out, the magical beasts fell.
The monsters pounced on Xie Wanning. They could sense that Xie Wanning had the strongest cultivation level and regarded her as their most formidable enemy, determined to kill her with all their might.
Xie Wanning stood still, coldly watching the magical beasts.
Crimson flames instantly enveloped Xie Wanning, surging towards the surrounding horde of magical beasts centered on her.
She thrust out both palms with a vengeance, and the phoenix fire expanded with the force of a wildfire, instantly transforming into a phoenix reborn from the ashes. The phoenix was engulfed in crimson flames, and with each flap of its wings, it unleashed a powerful wave of heat, as if to scorch everything in the world.
The phoenix raised its head and let out a high-pitched cry, the sound piercing through layers of smoke and carrying boundless majesty and power as it swooped down towards the horde of demonic beasts.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was illuminated by the blazing phoenix fire. The monsters roared in terror, trying to escape, only to find their retreat blocked by the sea of fire.
Wherever the phoenix fire went, everything was ignited. The fur of the magical beasts instantly turned to ash, and even their hard scales were no match for the high temperature, sizzling and melting away. The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning, mixed with the painful cries of the magical beasts.
In just a moment, the once ferocious and menacing horde of monsters was reduced to a pile of charred remains scattered on the scorching earth.
After completing its mission, the phoenix slowly flapped its wings and soared into the sky, gradually disappearing into the horizon, leaving only Xie Wanning, who was full of spiritual power yet still stood tall on the battlefield, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
The Luo Ze Sword and the Gui Chen Sword quickly returned to their sheaths, and Xie Wan Ning extinguished the phoenix fire in her hand.
"Wan Ning, are you alright?"
Tian Ruochun, clutching her injured abdomen, limped over.
"I'm fine. Xiao Tian, you should rest first." Xie Wanning looked at Tian Ruochun with concern and fed her a Grade 9 Recovery Pill.
Xie Wanning picked up her storage bag, took out bottles and jars of pills, and handed them to the disciples who were still able to move: "Distribute them to the injured disciples."
"Yes, Master."
Xie Wanning quickly arranged for people to settle the injured disciples and take them to a safe place.
Suddenly, a powerful demonic aura approached the Qingyun Sect.
Xie Wanning flew towards the source of the demonic energy on her sword. There she saw a whole horde of demonic beasts swarming towards her, and the demon lord leading them held a crossbow and looked at Xie Wanning with an arrogant air.
"We meet again, Xie Wanning."
