186: Chapter 186 Battle Against Foundation Establishment

Facing the spiritual pressure of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Ye Jing could currently barely contend with it.

However, that massive Golden Bell had enveloped the entire mountain forest, faintly carrying a power that suppressed his spiritual Qi.

It seemed that if he wanted to escape, he had to find a way to destroy this Golden Bell.

He saw that Ruan Xiao was surrounded by Disciples, all of whom, without exception, were preparing to attack.

Ruan Xiao didn't waste a single word; he rushed forward impatiently, intent on killing this Loose Cultivator who had brought him such great humiliation.

Having nearly died from the bee attack earlier, and the fact that the man had escaped silently from him and two other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, was enough to make Ruan Xiao hate him to the core.

If he didn't kill him, he could not appease the hatred in his heart!

Ye Jing used the golden light bowl to defend his back while dodging Ruan Xiao's frenzied Flying Swords; if the Qingyun Sect's sword moves were flexible and varied, then Ruan Xiao's sword technique was ruthless in every strike, like a gale.

No matter which direction he moved, he was blocked by hundreds of Flying Swords, leaving him in a true dilemma.

Seeing the Black-robed Man like a headless fly driven into a corner by the Flying Swords, Ruan Xiao mocked him with immense pleasure.

"What's wrong? Aren't you good at running? Let's see where you can run to now! Where are your tamed beasts? Why haven't you brought them out yet!"

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator's clamor was ear-piercing and unpleasant. Ye Jing looked at the dense Flying Swords and gave a cold laugh: "Since you want to see my tamed beasts so badly, I'll let you open your eyes!"

With that, he immediately summoned Xiao Chi. Xiao Chi was a Fire Fox with the Fire Crystal Armor Divine Ability; currently cultivating within Ye Jing's Immortal Willow Demonic Beast Grotto-heaven, it was already a First-Order Mid-Stage Yao Beast.

It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of flames that surged high from below, startling all the Cultivators blocking the perimeter into hastily using their spiritual Qi for defense.

The defense of the Fire Crystal Armor also prevented those Flying Swords from getting close to Ye Jing.

Then, Ye Jing released the Poisonous Variant Bee once more; this bee, as tall as a man, hissed at Ruan Xiao.

Subsequently, the swarm, like a red mist, bypassed the Flying Swords and surged toward Ruan Xiao.

Ruan Xiao had already suffered at the hands of these bees, so he was naturally extremely wary of the Poisonous Variant Bee's appearance.

His face darkened instantly, and he shouted sternly: "Vile beast! You dare show yourself again!"

Before his voice had even faded, he formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a spiritual Qi barrier instantly appeared around him. With a violent wave of his right hand, the Flying Sword that had been attacking Ye Jing flew into his grasp.

The sword immediately slashed toward the Poisonous Variant Bee.

But the Poisonous Variant Bee was already a Rank One Late Stage Yao Beast, full of intelligence; how could it be hit so easily?

It let out a sharp screech, its body suddenly rising higher, while the swarm behind it dispersed like a sky full of red rain, evading the sword's strike.

"Useless fools! What are you standing there for? Help me kill these vile beasts!"

Ruan Xiao was enraged once more; seeing that the Yao Beast's strength far exceeded what it had been before, he found it extremely difficult to handle.

Seeing this, Ye Jing no longer held back. He knew very well that there were two other Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Lingxiao Sect whom he had offended; this Golden Bell was their doing, and if he was slow to escape, he feared he wouldn't get away.

At this moment, the Disciples also began to besiege Ye Jing, manifesting their spirit swords and Magical Artifacts, as streaks of spiritual light shot toward Ye Jing's two tamed beasts.

There were Fireball Techniques, Ice Spike Techniques, and various Flying Swords; for a time, spiritual lights flashed wildly over the secluded valley, accompanied by continuous booming sounds.

With the tamed beasts pinned down, Ruan Xiao appeared before Ye Jing as if teleporting, his sword already thrusting toward him: "Let's see where you run now!"

With the protection of the golden light bowl, Ye Jing was not suppressed by the Golden Bell. He immediately gave up on using a sword to attack and instead switched to a broadsword he had collected long ago but had never used.

A broadsword stained with Blood Qi instantly slashed down. Ruan Xiao's sharp sword collided with this broadsword that drifted with blood-red Qi.

"Clang!" The sound of clashing weapons echoed through the valley. Ruan Xiao's hand went numb from the shock of the blood-colored broadsword. He couldn't help but marvel at the intense Blood Qi of the blade; it seemed to be a demonic blade that had surely slain many.

Ye Jing swung the blade, turning defense into offense, continuously exchanging blows with Ruan Xiao as the sound of clashing metal rang out incessantly.

"You Loose Cultivator really are one of those Demonic Path bastards from the Xuanyou Sect!" Ruan Xiao roared. "This seat will surely grind your bones to ashes!"

With that, he surged with a massive amount of spiritual Qi, not even protecting himself. The spiritual light on his sword exploded, dense runes appearing on the blade as an aura even more terrifying than before swept through.

That was the full-strength blow of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Ye Jing's heart tightened; he didn't dare be the slightest bit careless. He gathered all his spiritual Qi into the golden light bowl, which instantly flashed with golden light and transformed into a golden shield.

Unable to break through the Golden Bell barrier behind him in time, Ye Jing ordered the Poisonous Variant Bee and Xiao Chi, who were still attacking, to rush to his side. The Disciples had suffered heavy losses under their combined assault.

The two Yao Beasts moved forward without hesitation to attack the barrier set by the Golden Bell.

At that moment, the sword swept toward Ye Jing like a gale. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, Ye Jing's golden light bowl defense was instantly shattered.

Even the Lingxiao Sect Disciples besieging Ye Jing were forced back by the aftershocks of the Sword Qi, their faces filled with terror.

Ye Jing's heart tightened; he could clearly feel the horror of these swords. If he were hit, he would surely suffer even more severe injuries, or even death.

But Ye Jing didn't fear in the slightest, continuously using the humming broadsword to block those sharp sword moves.

As he blocked, he growled: "Xiao Chi! Poisonous Variant Bee! Focus on the barrier, quickly!"

He saw that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's killing move was too powerful for the other Cultivators to come forward and attack him.

Upon receiving the command.

The two Yao Beasts naturally attacked the barrier with all their might; flames and impacts took turns, causing the Golden Bell barrier to tremble violently and its golden light to dim, but it remained difficult to shake.

"It's useless! This is a talisman treasure, and since it's being used by me, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it's impossible for you to open it!"

Ruan Xiao sneered disdainfully, intensifying his offensive to take down this reckless Loose Cultivator in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Ye Jing shouted without backing down: "You're not qualified to kill me! Hei Feng, come out!"

As soon as he spoke, a Black Dog with strange purple markings all over its body jumped out and bit into the barrier.

Under Hei Feng's biting, the originally unbreakable barrier instantly emitted ripples as if struck, followed by a very fine ripple.

The golden light tried to heal, but in the next instant, it was overtaken by the Fire Fox's flames, which burned it back.

Seeing that Hei Feng was effective against the barrier, Ye Jing was overjoyed. He hadn't let Hei Feng out before because the golden light could suppress spiritual Qi, and Hei Feng's Soul Extinguishing Deterrence would lose much of its effect; without a hard shell, it would be easily injured.

He realized the barrier was incredibly hard and that Xiao Chi and the Poisonous Variant Bee couldn't break it at all, so he could only let Hei Feng take the field.

Hei Feng's biting ability had a special advantage against this kind of defensive Magical Artifact.

Ruan Xiao was both shocked and enraged, his attacks becoming even more frenzied; he absolutely could not let Ye Jing succeed.

If this man escaped now, it would only be more difficult to kill him in the future.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The sounds of clashing weapons were incessant as Ye Jing, relying on the power of the blood-colored broadsword, fought Ruan Xiao head-on.

And just then, Ye Jing felt the spiritual Qi within his body increasing rather than decreasing due to the intense battle.

His eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that he was about to have a Breakthrough?!"
