第三千九百二十九章 勇战强敌

Soon, the giant-like demon from beyond the heavens rushed forward. His body had hundreds, even thousands of arms, each holding a weapon.

Long sabers, large battle axes, wolf fangs, and metal hammers—various heavy yet powerful weapons were in his grasp.

With a frenzied dance, he smashed them down towards the cloud-like aura and light screen before him.

Boom!

The loud noise echoed as the rest of the demons from beyond the heavens began their own fierce attacks. Although the sect’s protective array was sturdy, it started to violently shake under such power. Clearly, mere prohibitions wouldn’t suffice.

Disciples of Cloud Concealment Sect couldn’t just sit and wait for death. They summoned their treasures through the prohibitions and attacked wildly.

All colors of spiritual light flared up as various magical artifacts clashed with lightning flying around. Various beams of light pierced through the air.

Continuous screams filled the ears as Cloud Concealment Sect and demons from beyond the heavens fought to the extreme. One side was stronger, while the other had the advantage of timing, location, and personnel. The battle thus became a stalemate, seemingly without a clear winner in the short term.

Roar!

A howl entered their ears, indicating that someone within the demon array was dissatisfied with the current outcome. Demon clouds transformed into a vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a grotesque ghost face emerged. From its forehead to its mouth, it stretched over ten zhang (about 30 feet). The spiritual pressure it emitted made one feel suffocated.

Ninth Stage of Tribulation!

This demon was also at the tribulation stage.

Indeed, these demons from beyond the heavens had peculiar appearances. He revealed his sharp teeth and shot out a black ball of light from his mouth.

Sizzle...

Like a meteor falling, the ball of light streaked through the void before crashing into the misty aura with ferocity.

Boom!

The loud noise echoed as if someone had thrown water into a boiling pot, causing white smoke to spread. The protective array’s light screen flickered violently.

A tribulation stage attack was no trivial matter.

Thus, the sect’s protective array began to struggle to hold on.

In such circumstances, Ouyang Qinxin naturally couldn’t hide her strength.

A layer of frost appeared on her pretty face as she waved her jade hand, summoning a golden seven-stringed zither.

Her jade fingers played like pearls falling into a jade plate. Golden notes flowed from her fingertips and transformed into swords, stabbing towards the opponent.

Swords flashed in showers. The ghost-faced demon was shocked and turned to attack the prohibitions instead of the zither. From his mouth, he spat out gushing demonic winds. Among them were several magical treasures that clashed with the golden sword light.

Eh?

A shout came from the demon clouds. They had already investigated beforehand; although Cloud Concealment Sect wasn’t weak, no other tribulation-stage elders besides Lin Xuan were known to exist there.

Who was this woman?

But despite her surprise, it didn’t change the outcome of the battle.

Another demon from beyond the heavens appeared in their line of sight.

It was a woman dressed in black robes. At first glance, she resembled humans but had two bull horns on her forehead. She too was at the tribulation stage.

Electric sparks flickered around her fingernails as she reached out towards the front.

Sizzle...

Instantly, black electric currents coalesced into five demonic serpents that slithered and charged forward with ferocity.

"Bad!"

The silver-eyed girl was alarmed. Qinxin had no hands to spare at this moment.

With no other choice, she waved her jade hand to summon her spirit sword.

Sizzle...

A tear in the void appeared as it clashed with the demonic serpents. On the surface, they blocked the opponent’s attacks, but the silver-eyed girl’s face was deathly pale. After all, she was only at a minor tribulation stage.

In front of a distracted cultivator, she could appear formidable, but compared to true tribulation-stage elders, there was still a gap.

Relying on her to block this demon woman was unrealistic.

This logic was clear in the silver-eyed girl’s mind, but what could she do now?

Just as she was at wit’s end, a sharp cry echoed: "Auntie, let me help you."

The voice was familiar. She didn’t need to turn around to know it was Yu'er from Lin Xuan’s disciples.

The silver-eyed girl couldn’t help feeling surprised. As Lin Xuan’s disciple, Yu'er’s strength was beyond doubt; but she had just broken through the distracted stage and might be slightly stronger than her peers, yet facing this demon woman would be sheer suicide.

But despite her curiosity, she knew that among Lin Xuan’s disciples, Yu'er was the most tactically astute. Her actions were always well-considered.

What did she intend to do?

Before she could ponder further, Yu'er waved her sleeves and a jade box about a foot long flew out.

It appeared normal from the outside but had prohibitions inscribed on its lid.

The girl raised her right hand and pointed it forward.

A snap echoed as the talisman ignited without wind. The lid was pushed up by some force, revealing a true spirit puppet.

Of course, it remained the size of an inch-long miniature object, unremarkable from any angle.

Yu'er flicked her fingers, and three crystal stones the size of apricot kernels appeared. They glowed with red, yellow, and blue spiritual lights, emitting mysterious power.

Without further ado, the three magical stones rapidly shrank into tiny grains that embedded themselves in the true spirit puppet.

Roar!

The angry roar of a giant dragon accompanied by terrifying spiritual pressure descended from the heavens.

It felt no less formidable than an ordinary tribulation-stage cultivator.

This was Yu'er’s trump card. Lin Xuan’s strength had changed so much that true spirit puppets were barely useful to him, thus he rewarded his most reliable disciple with this gift.

With this item added, the silver-eyed girl felt relieved. Together, they fought the demon woman in a balanced exchange of blows.

The stalemate resumed.

Other disciples from Cloud Concealment Sect also engaged demons from beyond the heavens, reaching a deadlock.

"True trash!"

At that moment, a loud shout echoed from the demon clouds, shaking the ground and causing ear pain.

Following it was an ominous spiritual pressure that descended silently. Most of the sect’s cultivators struggled to breathe as the protective array had yet to be breached, mitigating much of the pressure. Otherwise, things would have been disastrous.

Ninth Stage of Tribulation!

Ouyang Qinxin and the silver-eyed girl’s faces were pale with fear. They knew well how terrifying tribulation-stage cultivators could be.

They were startled but not surprised that such a high-level existence had intervened.

Was Cloud Concealment Sect truly destined to suffer this calamity?
