Chapter 1269: Chapter 1629: Breakthrough
The masses from the seven sects fell silent, not a single man continued shouting "Kill!"
It was as though everyone’s hot blood had been extinguished by icy water, leaving them speechless.
Every heart inevitably stirred with a feeling of desolate sadness.
To die? Or not to die? How to die?
When a person is trapped in a desperate situation, they might find a chance at survival from the brink of death.
But when even the last shred of resistance seems utterly meaningless, the spirit is completely shattered!
Hu, who had transformed back into its true form, shouted, "Don’t panic!"
Though it was bloodied by the swarm tactics, its mind was clear and awoke instantly.
But only those with higher cultivation levels were startled awake; the air was thick with despair.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Finally, batches of disciples succumbed to the melancholy atmosphere, rushing headlong into the evil spirits’ midst, self-destructing to death.
Some disciples abandoned resistance, allowing Evil Qi to pass through their bodies, becoming puppets.
Lin An also felt somewhat disheartened, watching Sect Leader Li, now an evil spirit, he recalled the punch just moments ago. His heart ached, yet his hand showed no mercy.
A spell struck Sect Leader Li’s shattered right hand, causing him deep agony, retreating several steps.
Dan Xuan gritted his teeth, charged ahead, flinging You’Er away in an instant, his eyes reddened, striking You’Er repeatedly with palmfuls of fire attribute Qi.
Meanwhile, Dan Xuan hadn’t noticed Sect Leader Lan’s battered body had partially recovered, now standing upright, charging directly toward him.
"Sect Leader Dan, be cautious!" Sect Leader He of Lingying Sect exclaimed urgently.
Lin An and others’ pupils contracted sharply.
Dan Xuan quickly turned, only to see Sect Leader Lan’s attack closing in rapidly, leaving no space to dodge.
Dan Xuan faltered for a moment: "Am I destined to perish here as well?"
At that moment, a flying sword descended from the heavens, piercing Sect Leader Lan. Dan Xuan narrowly avoided disaster.
"Yang Yan!" Hu sensed the aura of Five Beasts, shouting.
Lin An and others, hearing this, felt a sudden brightness before their eyes.
Has Yang Yan arrived?
Does this mean he has already defeated Xu Caomu and others?!
A gust of strong wind swept over, tearing several evil creatures apart, Yang Yan descended from Qing Lin, standing beside Lin An and others.
The Five Beasts charged directly at the multitude of evil creatures, clearing a sliver of space for the group.
Sect Leader He noticed Yang Yan’s furrowed brows and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the matter, has something else happened?"
"Initially I thought holding Xu Caomu’s side would enable your safe retreat. Now it seems..."
Yang Yan looked at the surrounding relentless, fearless evil creatures, distress further etched on his face.
It’s akin to scenes from Earth’s science fiction work Resident Evil!
No, it’s far more terrifying than Resident Evil!
"Now it seems we can only retreat to a protected place and completely isolate them. Otherwise, no matter how many of us there are, it won’t suffice; it might even swell their ranks!" Yang Yan sighed.
"Then what should we do now?" Dan Xuan asked.
"We will hold them back, you should quickly return to your sects, gather all other sects to discuss solutions or jointly fend them off!" Yang Yan frowned, speaking gravely.
"This is the only way now." Lin An pondered upon hearing this.
His sect leader was in closed-door life-and-death seclusion, and the whereabouts of other sect leaders were unknown, hence joint defense was the only option.
"Qing Lin, Cold Flood Dragon, escort them out first; we’ll delay them here a bit longer." Yang Yan ordered coolly.
Qing Lin and Cold Flood Dragon responded in unison, "Yes!"
Yang Yan turned his gaze to You’Er, Sect Leader Lan, and Sect Leader Li.
You’Er’s realm was not high, while Sect Leader Lan and Sect Leader Li were half-maimed, their threat minimized under the protection of the other three beasts.
Recalling his insights from the other battlefield earlier, Yang Yan’s eyes became lucid once again.
How is this possible?!
The Wolf King was genuinely astonished this time.
Is sudden enlightenment attained just like that?!
Yang Yan licked his lips, severing evil spirits, he charged straight at Sect Leader Lan.
In the recent battle, Sect Leader Lan’s body had been thoroughly ravaged by Sect Leader Li’s final blow, even pierced by Yang Yan’s sword.
Yet in such a short lapse of time, it had recuperated significantly.
"Ha! Without reaching the Golden Core, how dare you contend on the same stage with me!" Sect Leader Lan coldly snorted, eyes filled with disdain.
Yang Yan paid her words no heed, the sword in his hand trembled slightly, tracing an uncanny arc in the air.
"Sizzle!"
Another sword mark appeared on Sect Leader Lan’s body.
"This is... Sword Dao fusion?" Sect Leader Lan exclaimed in shock, her eyes wide, expressing disbelief.
Many people failed to grasp this realm even upon death, yet it manifested with this young lad today.
It’s truly incredible.
Yang Yan’s sword tip pivoted and closed, the sword horizontally pursued the Blood Pearl ejected from Sect Leader Lan.
A sudden boom transmitted through the sword’s tremor to the Blood Pearl, which burst into tiny blood threads, racing toward Sect Leader Lan’s eyes.
As Sect Leader Lan swung her sleeve to block, Yang Yan startled her with a thrust, disemboweling Sect Leader Lan!
Just then, Yang Yan abruptly shut his eyes, his aura flickering erratically.
Soon, his aura stabilized, Yang Yan charged fiercely toward Sect Leader Lan.
But by now, Sect Leader Lan was prepared, delivering a palm strike, sending Yang Yan flying.
Yang Yan ignored his injuries, a faint smile gracing his lips, a tinge of joy welled in his heart, and he began massacring among evil creatures.
The Five Beasts did similarly, helping the Qi Sect troops buy time.
Since the last large battle, two days had passed, during which the sect leaders conversed about countering the evil creatures.
Yet, at this moment, Yang Yan quietly sat upon the Puduan.
Already during the battle two days prior, the enlightenment bestowed many benefits upon Yang Yan.
Sword Techniques fused, mental state elevated...
Even the recently attained realm thrummed restlessly.
Signs already appeared back then, subdued by Yang Yan.
Not until returning to his sect did he calmly seek a breakthrough.
During the original absorption of the Power of Origin, Yang Yan was on the verge of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm!
At that time, he held himself back from breaking through, aspiring for a more perfect advance to the Golden Core.
And now, his enhanced mental state, sharpened sword skills, increased Spiritual Power!
If not breaking through now, when?!
Whoosh—
The Pill Embryo within his body began spinning rapidly, Yang Yan’s eyes opened suddenly, a beam infused with Spiritual Power shot straight out.
Vaguely, an obscure ripple emanated from Yang Yan’s body.
That is...
The aroma of space!
