"Alright, Wu Zhixiong, you can be on your way now!"
"White Dragon Sword!"
As he spoke, Lin Chen waved his hand, and the White Dragon Sword appeared out of thin air beside him, hovering in the air.
Clearly, the Ling Jian Jue had been activated, and a fatal strike could be unleashed at any moment!
"Kill him! I don't believe that a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator can deal with the five of us!"
Wu Zhixiong gritted his teeth and ordered the people beside him.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Upon receiving Wu Zhixiong's command, Wu Qian did not delay and immediately drew his sword, charging towards Lin Chen.
"Dong!"
However, before he had flown halfway, it was as if he had crashed into something, and he was completely stunned.
"Eight Gates Armor Confinement Formation, Water Array, activate!"
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Ying instantly changed the attribute of the Eight Gates Armor Confinement Formation.
The Eight Gates Armor Confinement Formation was based on the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements, and it could be freely switched between Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth at any time.
The disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect cultivated the Fire Element technique, and their physiques were naturally inclined towards fire.
Now, by using the Water Array to counter them, it was perfect for using a small force to overcome a great one!
"Wu Qian, be careful!"
Seeing the sudden change in the formation, Wu Zhixiong's heart skipped a beat.
Only then did he realize why his father had died!
The Eight Gates Armor Confinement Formation, this was clearly the ultimate technique of the Huang family from before!
If one could master the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could kill a Core Formation stage expert!
It was precisely because the Huang family's ability was too heaven-defying that they eventually incurred the wrath of the public and were annihilated as a clan.
Who would have thought that such a formation would reappear here again!
What was going on?
Could it be that someone from the Huang family who survived back then had come to seek revenge?
"Boom!"
But before Wu Qian could react, a waterfall formed above his head and instantly crashed down upon him.
With a muffled thud, Wu Qian was caught off guard and was smashed into the valley below.
Although he was still alive, any discerning eye could see that Wu Qian was on the verge of death, with not much time left.
"This... late-stage Foundation Establishment killing late-stage Core Formation?"
Seeing this, the brothers Wu Long and Wu Hu, who had followed Wu Zhixiong, exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.
To kill someone across an entire major realm, how could this be achieved by an ordinary person?
No wonder their Grand Elder had died under such mysterious circumstances!
"Sect Master, perhaps we should..."
Wu Long said, his voice trembling, as he looked at Wu Zhixiong.
Now that the formation was set up, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through with their abilities.
If they wanted to leave here alive, the only way was to gather all the Blazing Fire Sect cultivators below the valley, and perhaps they could break through the formation.
If this continued, they would all die here today!
"Silence!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"The Eight Gates Armor Confinement Formation is indeed powerful, but the person casting it will suffer significant spiritual energy depletion!"
"How long can a mere late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator maintain the formation?"
Wu Zhixiong glared at Wu Long and reprimanded him.
Admittedly, he knew that the Eight Gates Armor Confinement Formation was very powerful and could truly achieve cross-level combat.
But precisely because of this, setting up such a formation would cause immense depletion of a cultivator's spiritual energy.
Let alone a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator would not be able to withstand such spiritual energy depletion!
Now that she had killed Wu Qian, her own spiritual energy depletion must be very significant.
And how fast could a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator recover their spiritual energy?
However, as soon as Wu Zhixiong finished speaking, he saw Zhang Ying on the mountaintop take out a golden-yellow pill from her storage bag and pop it into her mouth.
"Sect... Sect Master, what she ate, that looks like a third-grade Spirit Replenishing Pill..."
Seeing this, Wu Long swallowed and said to Wu Zhixiong beside him.
His voice was trembling with shock.
Even their Blazing Fire Sect did not have a third-grade Spirit Replenishing Pill!
But it wasn't over yet. Before Wu Zhixiong could say anything, he saw Zhang Ying take out another third-grade pill and swallow it like candy.
These pills were refined by Lin Chen using the medicinal herbs he had collected from the valley.
Because of the vast quantity of medicinal herbs, the number of pills refined was also very large.
"She... she took another one?"
Wu Long was stunned.
After taking two third-grade Spirit Replenishing Pills in succession, even a pig would have its spiritual energy instantly replenished, right?
What kind of monster had the Blazing Fire Sect provoked now?
Could it be that, as they had guessed before, Lin Chen and Zhang Ying were heirs from some powerful family or sect in the capital?
The financial resources to casually eat third-grade pills like candy were enough to make all the immortal cultivation sects in the southwest despair!
"I saw it! Do I need you to tell me?"
Although Wu Zhixiong was shocked, he was more afraid.
What two monsters had the Blazing Fire Sect provoked now?
Was it possible that the Blazing Fire Sect was truly doomed this time?
"Go! Gather everyone from the Blazing Fire Sect, and charge through the formation together. Let's focus on survival first!"
Wu Zhixiong gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, making up his mind.
Rather than being retaliated against by outsiders after escaping, it was better to break out now!
After all, if they were retaliated against after escaping, he could always flee.
Although his meticulously managed sect would be completely destroyed, at least his life would be preserved.
With his late-stage Core Formation cultivation, it was not impossible to make a comeback!
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Seeing that Wu Zhixiong had made up his mind, Wu Long no longer hesitated and immediately rushed down towards the valley.
Before long, the other seven inner sect elders of the Blazing Fire Sect had arrived beside Wu Zhixiong.
"Esteemed elders, today marks a moment of life and death for our Blazing Fire Sect."
"I, Wu Zhixiong, have no confidence in preserving my own life or yours."
"If we unite now, perhaps we can break out and preserve our lives."
"But if I die, any of you can become the Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect and take all the treasures from the sect's treasury!"
Wu Zhixiong looked at the people beside him and voiced his thoughts.
