Outside, Lin Xuan and the others naturally did not know about the battle. They were focusing all their efforts on attacking the hard boulder.
Boom! Rumble!
On the eighth combined attack, the hard boulder was finally shattered.
The entire hall trembled continuously, and the boulder, which was dozens of feet tall, was broken, revealing a hole large enough for a person to pass through.
As the dust cleared, a heavy green stone door appeared before them.
"Try to contact the people inside," Hu Man said to the others while attempting to operate the mechanism handle.
Immediately, some began searching, some shouted loudly, and others struck the stone door forcefully.
Lin Xuan stood to the side, his eyes flickering.
Inside the stone door, three figures felt the change and huddled together nervously.
"Are the demons finally breaking in!" The one in front was a middle-aged man, pale-faced and beardless, resembling a scholar.
"What should we do? Are we just going to wait to die?" the two on the sides asked.
"We must not let the things of the Hundred Herbs Hall fall into the hands of the demons!" The middle-aged man subconsciously touched the black ring on his finger.
Just as the three were preparing to fight to the death, a voice suddenly reached their ears.
"I am a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, one of the rescue team members. We are outside the stone door, and we hope you will open it quickly."
The three's faces changed dramatically: "Impossible, this door not only blocks attacks but also sound and breath. How could he transmit his voice!"
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "This should be soul transmission. However, this technique is very advanced, and the one before us is just a young man..."
"Master Sun, should we trust him?" the other two asked.
Outside the stone door, sweat trickled down Lin Xuan's forehead. This soul transmission was taught to him by Jiu Ye, but it was his first time using it, and it was quite strenuous.
Before he could catch his breath, another change occurred.
The entire hall's floor began to tremble slightly, as if an earthquake were about to happen.
"What's going on?" Everyone's faces changed.
Inside his body, Jiu Ye said in a deep voice, "The beast horde is coming. You'd better prepare to break through!"
After hearing this, Lin Xuan quickly informed everyone, "It's the beast horde. Everyone, prepare to break through."
At the same time, he used soul transmission to inform the three inside about the situation outside.
The middle-aged man pulled the mechanism handle forcefully: "Rather than waiting to die here, we might as well trust him!"
Click, click, click!
Just as everyone was preparing to escape, the green stone door moved.
The stone door slowly rose, making a dull sound, and the two groups finally met.
"Great, it's really the rescue team!" The two young men behind the middle-aged man cheered.
"I am Sun Wenyuan. Thank you, young heroes, for your rescue." The middle-aged man bowed.
"There's no time. Hurry up and go! The demon beasts will be here soon!" Lin Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Warriors of the Eighth Pulse, take out your shields and protect these three! The rest, stand on both sides to support. Sister Hu Man and the Ninth Pulse warriors lead the breakthrough."
Lin Xuan's strategy was simple, similar to how they had broken through the Jiaji Beast horde: the weaker ones would defend, and the stronger ones would lead the way.
Although Lin Xuan took the lead in assigning tasks, Feng Bufen and the others had no objections. Hu Man nodded in agreement, but Fan Chong snorted, clearly dissatisfied.
However, everyone quickly moved into position, and he couldn't afford to lose his temper.
Zhang Hao and the other four stood at the back, using their shields to protect Sun Wenyuan and the others. The remaining five stood in the four directions, ready to attack, with two disciples at the front of the group.
The nine disciples quickly completed their tasks and prepared to break through.
Lin Xuan looked at the formation and frowned, "Sister Hu Man, the two top Ninth Pulse warriors should not act together."
Fan Chong, standing beside Hu Man, heard this and became furious, "Boy, stop talking nonsense. Do you want to die!"
"Brother Lin, what do you mean?" Hu Man was also confused.
"The two strongest warriors should not act together, or we won't be able to break through. It's best to balance it out!"
"I understand." Hu Man said, "Fan Chong, you switch places with Feng Bufen first."
Fan Chong sneered, "What does a mere Eighth Pulse boy know!"
"I trust Brother Lin!" Feng Bufen said in a deep voice.
Fan Chong, with a sullen face, switched places with Feng Bufen and stood on the left side of the group, while a young man named Huang Wei stood on the right. Lin Xuan stood at the back.
"The entire group should be ready to switch positions. Get ready, and let's go!" Lin Xuan shouted.
"Everyone, trust Brother Lin!" Feng Bufen said again.
Whoosh! The group set off, like a sharp arrow flying out.
Outside the pavilion, besides ordinary demon beasts, there were four black-robed figures standing on the demon beasts, mysterious and enigmatic.
"Hehe, once they come out, we'll capture them all!" one of the black-robed figures laughed, his voice young.
Swoosh, swoosh!
A dazzling light burst out and quickly plunged into the demon beast horde, colliding continuously.
"Target appears, attack!" One of the black-robed figures patted the red-flame wolf beneath him, and the wolf howled to the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Hundreds of demon beasts moved, like a flood, ferocious and unstoppable.
To save their lives, Lin Xuan and the others used all their strength, fighting fiercely.
"Hehe, this is interesting. Let me try them out!" one of the black-robed figures sneered.
"Youshi, finish it quickly!" another black-robed figure said.
"Don't worry, just a few disciples from minor sects!" The black-robed figure named Youshi flew out like a large bird.
Boom! A black palm shadow struck toward Lin Xuan and the others.
"Everyone, retreat to the right!" Lin Xuan, sensing the black-robed figure's presence through his soul power, shouted loudly.
"To the right? Do you want to die!" Fan Chong was furious and ignored Lin Xuan.
However, the next moment, a fierce palm wind swept over.
Boom!
Fan Chong, caught off guard, hastily defended himself and was struck, his blood surging and his body aching.
"What!" The others were shocked. They looked at Lin Xuan with gratitude; if not for Lin Xuan, they would have all been attacked.
Fan Chong was furious, as he had not heeded Lin Xuan's warning and suffered a great loss, almost making him explode with anger.
"Who, why are there people!" Feng Bufen shouted, "Who is collaborating with the demons!"
"I don't know, but our situation is very dangerous because there is more than one black-robed figure!" Lin Xuan looked into the distance.
"Huh?" The black-robed figures sitting on the demon beasts were surprised, "Someone can actually detect us. This is interesting."
"I'll also join in and see how the martial artists of the Xia Kingdom fare!" Another black-robed figure flew out.
"Youshi also went..." The remaining two black-robed figures sat still, watching.
Boom, boom, boom!
Since being attacked by the black-robed figure, Fan Chong was constantly targeted.
The black-robed figure continuously attacked, striking Fan Chong, making him furious.
The black palm shadows, fierce and strange, struck Fan Chong, each blow carrying a sinister force.
Fan Chong, maintaining the formation while fighting the black-robed figure, could not use his full strength, making him feel very frustrated, especially when Lin Xuan's eyes carried a hint of disdain.
He angrily slashed with his blade and followed the group closely, afraid of falling behind.
At this moment, a strange voice sounded again: "Haha, Youshi, I'm coming!"
"Bad, another black-robed figure is coming!" Fan Chong's face changed dramatically.
