As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yixia to respond. Turning his head, he addressed the group of green-robed cultivators: "Fellow Daoists in green robes, I know you are also here to find the Taiheng Sect cultivators. Since our goals align, let's avoid mutual destruction. Once the Taiheng Sect is out, we can settle our other matters ourselves. What do you think?"
The green-robed sect cultivators only briefly consulted before immediately agreeing to the Dussha Hall's proposal. And just as the green-robed sect agreed to the alliance, the Dussha Hall launched an attack!
This time, it wasn't with poison powder, but with black streams of elemental energy, each containing potent toxins!
"Ha!" Yixia shouted, grabbing Gu Xuyao and Xiaohu, her body enveloped in flames as she broke through the encirclement!
"Senior Brother Yifeng, why haven't you taken any action? Senior Sister Yixia and Gu Xuyao are surrounded; they could die at any moment!" Zibi, who had been brought along by Yifeng since being ambushed by the green-robed sect, was now safe, but Gu Xuyao was in danger.
"Yifeng, Junior Sister Zibi is right. Yixia is the Grandmaster's granddaughter. Are you going to let her die?" Liu Changxing frowned at this, but he didn't act rashly.
Instantly, Yifeng, the temporary leader of the Taiheng Sect, became the target of everyone's criticism. However, Yifeng could withstand the pressure; he had his own thoughts.
"Senior Sister Yixia..." Yu Wang, holding the unconscious Yu Lin, struggled to reach Yixia. He was already at the end of his strength, having been poisoned while protecting Yu Lin. "Please, help me get Yu Lin out..."
Yixia frowned and took Yu Lin from his hands. "I'll take him, but if we want to get out, we'll go together!" Yixia was also in a difficult situation. Although her Heavenly Fire Elemental Technique could withstand the enemy's elemental energy bombardment, breaking through was extremely difficult. The enemy cultivators didn't engage in close combat to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Yu Wang smiled and shook his head. "Senior Sister Yixia, you can see that even if I return, my cultivation will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the poison in my body can only be cured by the Dussha Hall. The poison in Yu Lin and Gu Xuyao is not too deep and hasn't entered their immortal roots. With some rest..."
As he spoke, another stream of elemental energy hit Yu Wang, throwing him backward and down.
However, the green-robed sect seemed to have a change of heart and caught Yu Wang.
Yixia could clearly feel that when the green-robed sect caught Yu Wang's body, the Dussha Hall's attack suddenly weakened. Though she didn't understand why, Yixia let out a fierce cry, fully channeling her elemental energy, and began to break through!
Gu Xuyao was behind Yixia, with the pale-faced Xiaohu and unconscious Yu Lin beside him. The pain from his poisoned wounds was unbearable, but in the moment Yixia broke through, he noticed something.
"Yifeng!" Liu Changxing handed Tian Li to another disciple. "Yixia has already started to break through. If you were worried about losing other disciples earlier, you have no reason not to help now!" Yixia was the undisputed favorite in the Taiheng Sect, and no cultivator, whether from the upper or lower ranks, had a bad impression of her.
Yifeng glanced at Liu Changxing but remained silent.
"Senior Brother Yifeng!" Zibi was also anxious, but no matter what others said, Yifeng remained unmoved.
With a "boom," the green-robed sect also joined the attack. After all, Yixia was carrying three Taiheng Sect disciples. Killing Yixia alone would be equivalent to driving the Taiheng Sect out of the second round of the competition.
The green-robed cultivator's flying sword was formidable, and it was aimed directly at Yixia. Instantly, Yixia's Heavenly Fire Elemental Technique, which she relied on for protection, was on the verge of collapse.
"Spit!" Under the enemy's strong attack, Yixia finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Senior Sister Yixia! Are you okay?" Gu Xuyao felt a surge of regret. He hated himself for being unable to help his senior sister when she was being bullied!
At the same time, outside the arena, Ling Sanshi, seeing his granddaughter in mortal danger, could no longer sit still. He searched for Master Qiming, disregarding his status as the leader of his sect, and flew to the Blood Battle Field using the Wind Riding Jade.
"Master Qiming, the Taiheng Sect is willing to give up this competition. Please let our people out immediately!" Ling Sanshi, in a hurry, made a direct request without much consideration.
In response, he received a cold snort.
"Hmph, not kneeling to the Master and speaking disrespectfully! I see that the Taiheng Sect doesn't want to continue existing!"
The speaker was one of the cultivators accompanying Master Qiming and the Blue Supervisor to watch the competition.
Ling Sanshi had been too rash when he arrived and hadn't paid much attention to who else was present. Upon hearing this, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Taiheng Sect Master Ling Sanshi pays respects to the Master." Ling Sanshi trembled as he knelt, his legs unable to support him.
The Master of the Blue Supervisor was a middle-aged cultivator, wearing a blue robe with a large blue yin-yang symbol, his long hair tied up, and a stern face.
"You are the Master of the Taiheng Sect." He glanced at Ling Sanshi. "Stand up. Don't say anything. Stay with me and continue watching the competition."
The Master's tone brooked no argument. Ling Sanshi wanted to speak but didn't dare, so he could only obediently stand by, watching his granddaughter in dire straits!
Faced with Gu Xuyao's shouts, Yixia remained silent, but her brows were filled with a fierce aura.
"Senior Sister, don't save us. Leave by yourself. We'll cover for you. Senior Brother Yifeng is nearby. If you break through the encirclement, he will definitely come to help. Then there might still be hope..." Xiaohu, though young, was extremely stubborn. He was willing to sacrifice himself to protect his senior sister, even to the point of death!
Unfortunately, Yixia was not that kind of person. Xiaohu was stubborn, but was Yixia any less so?
From a young age, she had never admitted defeat!
"Ah!" With a loud shout, Yixia repelled the five incoming flying swords! Her eyes were bloodshot, like a demon!
A bright red bead slowly rose from Yixia's waist, hovering above her head! A bloody aura spread through the sky, the bead creating a strong wind. Yixia's pale face had faint bloodstains, her black, smooth hair fluttering in the wind, her appearance holy, but the evil in her eyes was chilling.
"Heavenly Evil Pearl!" The Taiheng Sect members watching from a distance couldn't help but exclaim. This was the sacred artifact of the Taiheng Sect, which should have been kept by Ling Sanshi, but it was now in Yixia's hands!
Not only were the Taiheng Sect members shocked, but the water bubble displaying the Taiheng Sect's battle situation immediately caught the attention of all the cultivators present. Apart from the cultivators who had come to participate in the competition, everyone else was a sect leader. Having been in the cultivation world for so long, their perspectives were naturally broad. The aura emitted by the Heavenly Evil Pearl was clearly not ordinary!
"This is..." Even the Master of the Blue Supervisor was surprised when he saw the bright red bead.
"Boom!" After summoning the Heavenly Evil Pearl, Yixia's actions were not just defensive. With the enhancement of the Heavenly Evil Pearl, the Heavenly Fire Elemental Technique became unstoppable. Poison, flying swords—anything touched by the heavenly fire turned to ashes. This was not all; the Heavenly Fire Elemental Technique was the complete version of the Fire Elemental Technique, a cultivation method that only the upper-level disciples of the Taiheng Sect could practice. After burning through the enemy's attacks, the flames directly targeted the formations of the Dussha Hall and the green-robed sect!
However, this was just a long-distance attack. Force cultivators were best at close combat, and while they could also attack from a distance, it was far less effective than that of Dao cultivators.
It wasn't that Yixia didn't want to charge into the crowd; it was because she had to protect Xiaohu and Gu Xuyao. If she charged into the enemy formation, she couldn't guarantee that the cultivators behind her wouldn't be harmed.
The Dussha Hall and the green-robed sect scattered to avoid Yixia's attack. The leader of the Dussha Hall frowned, sensing the immense power of the mysterious bead, even though his experience was not as deep as his sect leader's. After all, there were no rules against killing and seizing treasures in this competition!
"Green-robed fellow Daoists, this bead seems no weaker than the prizes of previous generations. Let's join forces and attack with all our might. Whoever gets the bead will give the flag to the other side. What do you think?" The Dussha Hall was not only skilled in using poison but also in plotting small schemes.
The green-robed sect knew that if they tried to kill Yixia with their current strength, they would pay a huge price and might not even keep the bead. So their only option was to ally with the Dussha Hall!
The two sides joined forces!
Flying swords and streams of elemental energy containing potent toxins rained down on Yixia without hesitation!
"Yifeng!" Due to the loud sounds of the distant battle, Tian Li woke up from his unconsciousness. He quickly understood the situation and who had knocked him out. "You beast, if you won't help Yixia, I will!" Tian Li then rushed toward the besieged Yixia.
"Attack!" Just as Tian Li flew out, Yifeng also gave the order to attack!
The Taiheng Sect members, who had been waiting for a long time, now received the command and charged toward Yixia with all their might!
But even so, Yixia, under the attack of over thirty people, quickly reached her limit, even with the enhancement of the Heavenly Evil Pearl!
The red glow in her eyes gradually faded, and while the light of the Heavenly Evil Pearl remained, Yixia was no longer able to support it.
Soon, the red glow in her eyes dissipated with another failed attack, and Yixia returned to being the holy and beautiful woman she was.
"Senior Sister Yixia..." Gu Xuyao's clenched teeth were already bleeding, his hatred incomprehensible to others.
Words were one thing, but some people didn't need to understand Gu Xuyao's pain!
Another wave of attacks from the Dussha Hall and the green-robed cultivators came again!
