*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
Black bullets crazily bombarded the earth wall Xiao Zuiji had condensed, immediately stirring up streams of extremely sinister strange energy!
For a time, that entire area was filled with terrifying attributes, as if it had become hell itself!
“Senior Brother!”
Yao Mengying in the distance immediately grew tense.
She desperately wanted to go help, but remembering Second Senior Brother’s earlier instructions, she could only clench her small fists and observe.
Hold back, hold back!
Senior Brother is very strong—nothing will happen!
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The black bullets continued their wild bombardment, and Xiao Zuiji’s expression behind the earth wall grew increasingly grave.
*Crack—*
The solid earth wall finally couldn’t withstand the high-intensity, high-power bombardment and suddenly developed cracks, then shattered with a bang.
Xiao Zuiji retreated two steps, the blood in his body suddenly boiling.
Eternal Sect’s tank, his defense actually broken!
Fortunately, the opponents’ bombardment had also ended. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to protect himself and Li Qingyang and the others!
*Swish!*
He Wudi jumped out from a crater, saying: “This is some kind of amplification divine ability?”
The Black Dragon Evil Sect master and four elders had all turned completely black, their strength obviously much greater than before—at least at the eighth or ninth-grade Martial King level. With his current fourth-grade Martial King cultivation, it was very difficult to contend with them!
Suddenly.
Sharp pain came from his chest!
He Wudi hurriedly looked down to see that the clothing in the area struck earlier had rotted away, the exposed skin showing a dark black color. He said gravely: “Demonic energy entering the body!”
“Whoosh, whoosh—”
The words had barely left his mouth when an extremely strong sinister aura inside his body, like a virus, rapidly spread out and crazily eroded his meridians, causing his expression to turn ferocious.
“Damn it!”
He Wudi forcibly used spiritual energy to suppress the demonic energy rampaging through his body and said hatefully: “I was careless!”
*Swish!*
*Swish!*
Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo steadied themselves.
Though they had condensed spirit armor in advance, the armor clinging to their bodies showed black handprints. The demonic energy contained extremely strong penetrative force and instantly drilled into their bodies.
“Not good!”
Li Qingyang exclaimed: “We’re poisoned!”
*Swish!*
Su Xiaomo waved his hand, taking an antidote pill from his spatial ring and swallowing it.
However, the pill’s effects dispersed in his body but couldn’t dissolve the spreading demonic energy. He could only forcibly suppress it with spiritual energy.
“Second Senior Brother.”
Su Xiaomo said desperately: “The antidote pill doesn’t work!”
He Wudi said with a dark expression: “This is demonic energy, not poison. It can’t be dissolved with antidote pills!”
“Then what do we do?” Su Xiaomo asked.
He Wudi replied: “We can only use spiritual energy to suppress it and force it out of the body.”
“……”
Su Xiaomo’s expression turned ugly.
The demonic energy existing in his body was formidable. He could only barely suppress it temporarily—how could he force it out?
“This is troublesome.”
Li Qingyang furrowed his brow tightly.
At first, seeing the Black Dragon Evil Sect leaders rush out with realms of only third to fifth-grade King, he had thought the six-star mission would be very easy to complete.
Now that they had used some martial technique to greatly increase their cultivation, and he himself had been invaded by demonic energy, it would be very difficult to complete!
As the most steady of Eternal Sect’s disciples, Li Qingyang didn’t lose his composure. He transmitted: “While we can still suppress the demonic energy, let’s retreat quickly!”
At this moment, they needed to divert spiritual energy to suppress the demonic energy and couldn’t continue fighting. Leaving was the wisest choice!
“You all go.”
Xiao Zuiji stood before the three and said: “I’ll cover the rear!”
He hadn’t been infected with demonic energy and still had combat capability.
And as a qualified tank, covering for fellow disciples in retreat was appropriate!
Li Qingyang said: “Let’s go!”
Given the current situation, there was no room for hesitation. They had to withdraw quickly. Once trapped by the opponents, there would be no escape!
“Today, you all die!”
The Black Dragon Evil Sect master and four elders attacked from different directions, the spreading dark aura whistling over. The surrounding trees and flowers eroded by it immediately withered, losing all life force!
Not only had their strength comprehensively increased, that strange aura was also very powerful.
In Li Qingyang and the others’ current state, forcing a confrontation would be suicide!
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The five evil sect powerhouses struck the void with both hands, that dark energy forming into massive fists that smashed down heavily toward everyone.
“Hum!”
Xiao Zuiji’s entire body condensed substantial armor, with the Black Iron Shield also erected before him.
*Hum!*
A substantial defensive barrier appeared in mid-air in an arc shape.
This was the perfect combination of thick spiritual energy, earth attributes, and various equipment—Xiao Zuiji’s strongest defense at present!
Each of those incoming sinister energy attacks was no less than a ninth-grade Martial King’s, with the sect master even reaching peak level.
This battle.
For Xiao Zuiji, was definitely a test!
And no matter what, he had to block it, because his fellow disciples were behind him!
“Whoosh, whoosh—”
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
Various violent forces bombarded the barrier, immediately producing ripples that spread crazily in all directions. Everywhere they passed, living things rapidly withered and decayed!
*Swish!*
*Swish!*
Taking advantage of Xiao Zuiji withstanding the five evil sect leaders’ bombardment, Li Qingyang and the three others retreated in succession.
However, the demonic energy in their bodies surged violently with each movement, increasingly breaking through their defenses until they were more and more powerless!
“Pff!”
Su Xiaomo couldn’t suppress a mouthful of blood.
“Little Junior Sister!”
Li Qingyang could still stabilize the demonic energy. Landing before Yao Mengying, his expression ugly, he said: “Leave quickly!”
“Second Senior Brother!”
Yao Mengying said: “Are we abandoning Senior Brother Xiao!”
“There’s no time.”
Li Qingyang didn’t explain further. He gripped Little Junior Sister’s shoulder with one hand, about to take her away.
“Whoosh, whoosh—”
However, the moment he touched Yao Mengying, the demonic energy in his body suddenly erupted, breaking through all defenses with overwhelming force.
“Pff!”
Li Qingyang spat out blood, thinking: “It’s over…”
The next second, his eyes widened.
Because the demonic energy that had broken through his defenses didn’t attack his meridians throughout his body, but instead rushed out along his arm.
That hand happened to be connected to Yao Mengying!
Not good!
Demonic energy is contagious!
Li Qingyang’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly tried to let go, but the palm touching his junior sister seemed stuck—completely unable to separate!
Li Qingyang, oh Li Qingyang!
How could you be so foolish—touching Yao Mengying while infected with demonic energy!
In that moment, Li Qingyang was filled with self-blame. He decisively summoned the Cold Light Sword to cut toward his arm, trying to sever the demonic energy’s path to afflict his junior sister!
“Smack!”
Yao Mengying raised her hand and blocked her senior brother.
*Whoosh!*
Streams of demonic energy like torrential floodwaters instantly surged into her body.
“Junior Sister…”
Li Qingyang had just opened his mouth when he closed it, because after the demonic energy entered Yao Mengying’s body, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She was smiling?
Little Junior Sister was actually smiling!
*Whoosh—*
Just then, the demonic energy in his body was all drawn out, and that painful affliction suddenly weakened considerably.
*Swish!*
Yao Mengying shook off Li Qingyang with one hand. He immediately crashed into a rock.
*Swish!*
The little girl strode toward He Wudi and Su Xiaomo who had fallen before her, gripping their shoulders directly with both small hands.
*Whoosh, whoosh—*
The two senior brothers’ demonic energy was immediately drawn out and instantly merged into her body.
After two streams of violent demonic energy entered, not only did they fail to produce any destructive force, but like docile kittens, they merged into her dantian and were gradually absorbed.
“So comfortable!”
Yao Mengying’s eyes immediately brightened, her smile growing even wider.
