Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: It’s Time for You to See
Yang Yan, having removed his defenses, immediately summoned five exotic beasts to charge forward together.
Meanwhile, the other sect leaders broke free from the entanglements of those phantoms and rushed to the center of the battlefield.
The three sect leaders possessed by the evil spirits saw Yang Yan’s youthful appearance and instinctively assumed he was just someone with a high-level defensive magical treasure, so they didn’t take him seriously.
They ignored Yang Yan and instead engaged in combat with the five exotic beasts and the other sect leaders who had come over.
Yang Yan’s eyes lit up as he spotted this flaw in the enemy’s contempt, brewing for a long time, spiritual power surged and roiled in his meridians, sending a direct thrust with his sword towards the heart of the Yizheng Sect Leader’s chest.
This strike, in terms of timing and force, was executed to perfection by Yang Yan.
It could even be said that this was the best sword strike he had ever delivered.
Of course, the results of this strike were remarkable.
The sword was right in front, and the Yizheng Sect Leader only reacted now, feeling the energy and force contained within this strike, and the Yizheng Sect Leader was a bit surprised.
However, at this moment, he was grappling with the Cold Flood Dragon, completely without the extra strength to defend, and watched as Yang Yan’s sword struck while only slightly shifting his body.
Seeing this, Yang Yan raised an eyebrow, his face filled with joy.
Unexpectedly, even now, this evil spirit was still underestimating the enemy!
With a squelch, Yang Yan’s sword pierced into the Yizheng Sect Leader’s chest, and a bloom of blood appeared on the Yizheng Sect Leader’s chest.
Yang Yan took advantage and twisted the hilt, enlarging the consequences, leaving a substantial wound on the enemy’s body.
Although this wound did not reach the enemy’s heart, it was still considered effective damage.
This strike shocked everyone around, first surprised at the power of the strike, and secondly surprised at the aura emitted by Yang Yan.
That was the aura of the Pseudo Pill Realm!
Moreover, this aura was thick and long-lasting, far from what a recently promoted person could possess.
However, this strike indeed hurt the enemy, which delighted the sect leaders including the Ancient Abyss Sect.
After fighting for so long, they finally managed to deliver a relatively significant blow to the enemy.
Unfortunately, before everyone could get excited, the Yizheng Sect Leader broke free from Yang Yan’s sword, flashed to a point over ten meters away, and looked at Yang Yan with a gloomy expression.
He genuinely did not expect that this youngster, who appeared to only be at the Foundation Establishment Realm, had actually injured him.
This obviously included his underestimation, but it also did genuinely anger this evil spirit.
The Yizheng Sect Leader’s eyes flashed coldly, raised a finger with his left arm, and immediately, a jet-black longsword appeared next to him, emitting a sharp, piercing sound of breaking through the air, flying towards Yang Yan.
Like a thunderous explosion, it appeared right in front of Yang Yan.
If Yang Yan was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, this sword could easily have claimed his life.
But now Yang Yan had changed; he wasn’t going to be hurt that easily.
With a simple sidestep, the incoming sword flew past him.
Wang Bingye’s strike missing, he hooked his finger, causing the flying sword to turn and quickly fly back.
It sped through like a bamboo spear, faster than before.
In an instant, it was less than seven feet away from Yang Yan.
In the urgent situation, Yang Yan’s eyes instantly contracted, his body swiftly dodged, a sword qi sliced past his ear.
Even a strand of hair was cut off and fluttered down.
This made a faint trace of sweat break out on Yang Yan’s forehead.
He instantly realized the gap between him and the sect leader of Yizheng Sect.
No matter what, he was now just a Pseudo Pill Realm.
While the opponent was truly an established Golden Core.
Also made even stronger under the manipulation of the evil spirit.
The reason Yang Yan was able to critically wound his opponent just now was entirely due to the evil spirit’s underestimation that created a flaw, allowing him to seize the opportunity with a sneak attack.
Once the opponent got serious, the gap in cultivation realms meant Yang Yan couldn’t resist at all.
Stepping back several steps, out of the opponent’s range of attack, Yang Yan issued combat orders.
"Listen up, five exotic beasts: Cold Flood Dragon forms a separate group, the other four split into two pairs, each chooses an opponent to attack."
Yang Yan directed the exotic beasts to attack the three sect leaders shrouded in black qi, freeing up the other sect leaders.
They had fought too long and were already exhausted; it was time for a break.
Yang Yan himself then distanced himself from the central battle zone, turning to attack the loyal disciples surrounding the three sects.
This wasn’t suggesting Yang Yan bullied the weak and feared the strong, it’s just that war should be like this.
Wars between sects are challenging to overturn by the power of one person; they test strategic deployment and the overall capability between two sides.
As the saying goes, soldiers fight soldiers, generals fight generals, it’s impractical and useless for Yang Yan with his Pseudo Pill Realm cultivation to attack those three sect leaders.
In contrast, if he maneuvered around joining the battles between disciples, he could make a significant impact.
Not to mention, he could reduce the casualties of the Ancient Abyss Sect’s disciples by over fifty percent.
As expected!
With Yang Yan and the five exotic beasts joining the battle, everyone felt relieved considerably.
Simultaneously, Lin An and several other sect leaders were astonished by the increase in strength of the one person and five beasts.
Many people struggle for a lifetime to make progress in the Golden Core Realm, yet the five beasts in front of them had upgraded again in such a short time.
The most surprising was Yang Yan, who leaped from mid Foundation Establishment Realm across late Foundation Establishment Realm.
The pinnacle of Foundation Establishment and the three minor realms before Core Formation, already forming a pill shape, whether he advances to the Golden Core Realm seems merely a matter of choice.
Lin An originally thought the addition of a few exotic beasts could turn the tide, but in fact, the conditions weren’t as optimistic as he expected.
Although everyone did feel slightly relieved with Yang Yan and the five exotic beasts joining, facing the boost from evil qi and power of obscurity, continuously absorbing the surrounding power of filth, with Xu Caomu’s three’s ever-increasing strength left them quite helpless.
After another confrontation, the two groups faced each other.
Xu Caomu stepped forward, laughed loudly towards the sky, his voice raspy: "Take a look at who this is."
He said, as he clapped his hands, a figure stood beside him.
When Yang Yan saw the person’s face clearly, he was taken aback.
It was none other than You’Er, who was secretly infiltrating as an undercover agent by the Sword Sect’s Young Sect Leader Lin Hao’s side.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, at this moment, You’Er’s strength had unexpectedly reached the early Golden Core.
Without waiting for Yang Yan to act, Xu Caomu continued with his raspy voice: "We’ve played along for so long, it’s about time you witness real power!"
"Just earlier when we were locked in a stalemate, I had already controlled her to go to the Demon Cave to break its barrier, releasing more hidden comrades within the cave. Now, let’s have a good time!"
