The expressions of Mu Qiuxue, Guchang, and Yun Lingwei changed drastically as they saw the golden barrier broken into pieces.
However, they were talented individuals. Their reactions were quick as they promptly moved.
“Roar!”
Guchang’s muscles bulged as he let out a deafening roar. He leaped high into the air as he pounced toward the Soul Suppressing Cauldron and firmly smashed down his huge fist in a burning rage.
Boom!
The surrounding air shook violently, and the entire area several kilometers ahead was enshrouded by the terrifying might of the fist attack. All the trees nearby were destroyed instantly as the cauldron violently flew back toward Du Huanfeng.
Du Huanfeng’s expression changed drastically. He snorted coldly and clasped his hands together. “Hah!”
A pair of giant hands shaped profound energy shot out of his body and enveloped the cauldron, completely stopping the cauldron in the next moment.
Du San and the other old men didn’t let this chance go. They quickly rushed toward Yun Lingwei and Mu Qiuxue.
A pair of ice wings appeared behind Mu Qiuxue as she shot into the air and pointed her finger at Du San. A blue light burst out at once and broke into countless beams, bombarding Du San and others.
Du San and others released their profound energy, and several rings of fire appeared around them, protecting them from Mu Qiuxue’s attack.
At this moment, Yun Lingwei activated Misty Step and threw several formation stones around the place. After making complicated hand seals, several sword lights appeared in the air and rushed toward Du San and others.
Du San’s face turned cold. Three red flags silently appeared in his hand, and he quickly threw them out. Instantly, a fire dome appeared around his group and wholly repelled the incoming sword lights.
Yun Lingwei was surprised slightly. These people indeed had a lot of treasures. Suddenly, she seemed to notice something and quickly launched a simple palm attack at Du San’s group.
Seeing a palm print flying toward them, Du San and the other three old men were slightly puzzled. However, a sense of danger suddenly rose in their hearts the next moment.
Puff!
A shadowy figure silently appeared behind one of the three old men and instantly cut off the latter’s head. Blood splashed like a fountain as the old man’s body slowly fell onto the ground.
Du San and the other two old men were shocked. They couldn’t understand how this shadowy figure passed through their Spiritual Sense and appeared here without them knowing.
“Nice one, Sister Meilan!” Yun Lingwei landed on the ground and shouted excitedly.
That was right. The shadowy figure was no other than Yun Meilan. Although her realm was far inferior to these old men, the Shadow God technique wasn’t something they could deal with in their current power. It allowed her to avoid their Spiritual Sense effortlessly.
Yun Meilan immediately vanished from the place before Du San and others could react.
“H-how!?” Du Shi’s face was ugly as he looked at his brother’s corpse.
“Don’t be distracted! Go back quickly. We need to protect Young Master.” Du San quickly retrieved the red flags and prepared to retreat… But how could Mu Qiuxue and Yun Lingwei allow him to do it?
Mu Qiuxue quickly charged at Du San while bringing a snowstorm along.
Du San knew that he couldn’t retreat just yet. He quickly threw the red flags out again. Similar to the previous scene, a giant fire dome appeared around him.
Bang!!
Blue light flashed as crystals of ice formed and shattered. A seemingly endless chill immediately spread out on top of the fire dome. The burning fire dome began to freeze bit by bit under the snowstorm.
Du San groaned slightly. Snow Maiden Mu truly lived up to her name. Her profound strength couldn’t be underestimated at all.
“Du Shi!” Du San tilted his head and shouted at the old man beside him.
Du Shi’s eyes were burning with killing intent. Since he couldn’t find Yun Meilan for the time being, it was better to take care of this Mu Qiuxue first.
All of a sudden, Du Shi’s fists were ablaze with an intense flame as he smashed onto the ground.
Boom!
Instantly, violent shockwaves blast out horizontally. The ice and snow in the surroundings burst apart because of the impact.
As though she had been struck by a heavy hammer, Mu Qiuxue was sent flying and suffered a hard fall, which produced a thunderous sound.
“Cough!” Mu Qiuxue coughed up fresh blood. Her whole body was feeling intense pain as well as numbness.
The moment she got up, blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth, her nostrils, and ears. If not for the fact that she had conjured a profound barrier in time, she would be in a fatal state by now.
“Are you alright?” Yun Lingwei appeared beside Mu Qiuxue and handed a healing pill to her.
Mu Qiuxue wasn’t polite and quickly stuffed the pills into her mouth. “We cannot fight them head-on now.”
Yun Lingwei nodded in agreement. She glanced at Du San and then Du Huanfeng in the distance. A frown appeared between her brows as she discovered the black figure was nowhere to be seen now.
Mu Qiuxue had also discovered this. She frowned. “Where did he go?”
Yun Lingwei could guess something. However, she wasn’t worried much about it. “Leave him to others. We should finish these guys first.”
Mu Qiuxue took a deep breath and released her profound energy, preparing for the next attack.
At this moment, Du San and others had already successfully retreated to Du Huanfeng’s side.
“Young Master, we should retreat first. We don’t know how many people are hiding in the dark.” Du San gave a suggestion.
Du Huanfeng’s brows raised slightly. He was busy blocking Guchang’s attack earlier and didn’t see the whole scene. When he saw the corpse of his guard, his eyes turned cold. “You don’t need to do anything much. Wait and see that Jue Kong first.”
“Die!”
Guchang’s figure suddenly appeared a few meters away from Du Huanfeng and punched out.
“Hmph! What an annoying fly!” Du Huanfeng snorted coldly and pushed the cauldron toward Guchang.
Boom!
Guchang was struck heavily by the cauldron and was sent flying several kilometers away before landing heavily on the ground.
“Father!” Fan hurriedly rushed to his father’s side and helped him up.
Guchang wiped the blood out of the corner of his mouth and glared at Du Huanfeng with deep hatred.𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭
