264: Melee

Almost simultaneously with Yue Shan making his move, a blinding white light shot out from the cave entrance like lightning!

Qiong Shuang's tiny body erupted with heart-stopping speed, aimed directly at Blood Butcher!

Her icy blue eyes sparkled with excitement and cunning, and she opened her small mouth,

letting loose a Profound Ice Breath that was condensed to the extreme and radiated the chill of absolute zero,

like a glacier reversing its course, instantly spraying toward Blood Butcher!

At the same time, she waved her two small paws, unleashing several Ice Crystal Claws that were incomparably sharp and capable of tearing apart refined gold,

tearing through the air and heading straight for Blood Butcher's vital points!

"You little beast! Get lost!"

Blood Butcher was both shocked and enraged. He had absolutely not expected the attack to come from such a tiny thing, nor for it to be so swift and vicious!

In his haste, his bloody long saber transformed into a Curtain of Blood-red Blades, attempting to block the assault.

*Chichich!* The Ice Soul Cold Breath and the Blood Fiend Saber Light fiercely collided and dissolved, producing a harsh sound.

The several Ice Crystal Claws were even more cunning, forcing Blood Butcher into a frantic mess and instantly putting him at a disadvantage!

A dark red figure, carrying a murderous Aura that made the Soul tremble,

rushed out right after Qiong Shuang, like a malevolent spirit crawling out of Hell!

It was the asura war puppet! Its scarlet eyes instantly locked onto the elusive figure of Ghost Shadow!

There were no words, only the purest will to kill! Its terrifying form of Three Heads and Six Arms instantly manifested!

Six arms wielded six Bone Blades burning with Dark Red Karmic Fire,

transforming into an impenetrable Net of Death Blades, which instantly enveloped Ghost Shadow with a scream that tore through space!

This was a fighting style of exchanging life for life, relentless and endless!

A frantic warning rang out in Ghost Shadow's heart!

What he excelled at was Stealth, Tracking, and One-Hit Kill,

and what he feared most was this kind of Close-Quarters Combat Puppet—one that locked onto him, possessed formidable defense and savage attacks, and was utterly fearless of death!

His figure flashed rapidly, trying to merge into the shadows and escape,

but the Asura Puppet's net of blades seemed capable of slicing space, sealing off all his retreat paths!

*Ding ding dang dang!* The dense clanging of metal on metal exploded like rain! Sparks flew everywhere!

Ghost Shadow's two Short Daggers danced like the wind, yet he could only barely hold his ground,

Every collision left his arms numb and his Qi and Blood churning!

His proud Art of Stealth Assassination,

appeared so pale and weak under the savage frontal pressure of the Asura Puppet!

In just one exchange, Ghost Shadow was surrounded by peril,

his body sliced open by several sharp Saber Qi wounds,

Though not fundamentally injured, he was in a sorry state and completely suppressed!

A sword light as pure and cold as Moonlight, carrying a chill that could freeze the Soul,

stabbed out from the shadows on the side flank of the cave entrance! Lin Qingxue had made her move!

The ice soul sword in her hand transformed into an icy blue Startling Swan. Where the sword edge pointed,

the air froze, and the ground was instantly covered by a thick layer of solid ice!

The target was Tishan, who held a Giant Shield and was trying to stabilize the formation to support Liang Kun!

The Ice Soul Starfall circulated its light, and the pure Ice Soul Origin Power was injected into the sword,

adding three parts of tyranny to the sword's chill!

"What terrifying Ice Cold Power!"

Tishan's expression changed drastically. He specialized in defense, but facing this extreme Elemental Attack, he felt immense pressure!

The Profound Iron Giant Shield suddenly turned, its surface runes flashing wildly,

and a thick, solid Earthen Yellow Light Barrier instantly rose up, like a Great Earth Bulwark!

*Chii—Kaka!*

The ice soul sword Qi fiercely slashed onto the light barrier!

A harsh grinding sound rang out, and the light barrier fluctuated violently,

its light rapidly dimming, eroded by the extreme chill contained within the Sword Qi, with fine Ice Crystals even condensing on its surface!

A terrifying cold Qi followed the connection between the shield and the Vital Energy, instantly invading Tishan's arm Meridians!

Tishan felt as if half his body was about to freeze solid, and the circulation of his Vital Energy became extremely sluggish!

He was horrified internally; the attacking power of this Early Nascent Soul Stage woman was terrifying!

He had no choice but to fully mobilize his Vital Energy, desperately resisting the pervasive cold Qi,

his body continuously forced backward by the shock, unable to spare any attention for others!

A golden stream of light, like a meteor tearing through the sky,

shot out from the shadows of the cave ceiling, carrying the sharp will to penetrate everything!

Han Yun had made her move! Her target was Luo Tianying, who wore Blood-Red Clothes and possessed a strange Aura!

The Golden Arrow left the string, moving so fast that even Divine Sense struggled to capture it,

the arrowhead condensing a blinding Golden Light, seemingly able to pierce all defenses in the world,

aimed directly at Luo Tianying's vital point: her heart!

This arrow contained most of Han Yun's Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivation,

as well as her ultimate comprehension of the 'Penetration' Concept within the Metal Law!

Luo Tianying's pupils slightly contracted.

She didn't seem to expect the opponent to so decisively target her as the primary restraint objective, and with such a fierce and fatal attack!

She let out a cold snort. Without seeming to move, a Strange Round Disk circulating Black and White Qi,

shaped like a Taiji symbol, instantly appeared before her, spinning rapidly,

the Yin and Yang Qi circulating to form a Defensive Barrier that looked soft yet was incredibly tough, attempting to neutralize this fatal arrow!

And just as all these attacks erupted,

in the lightning-fast moment that completely restrained Xiao Chen's strongest members—Liang Kun, Blood Butcher, Ghost Shadow, Tishan, and the most mysterious Luo Tianying—

Yao Delong moved!

He was like a peerless Vicious Beast lurking in the shadows; his figure instantly blurred!

Ground Shrinking to an Inch! When he reappeared, he had crossed a distance of twenty meters like a phantom,

charging forward until he was less than five *zhang* in front of Xiao Chen and Meng Bi, who were completely exposed because their formation had been shattered!

burning silence flew out!

*Buzz—!*

The scarlet-gold Nine Yang True Fire erupted with a roar!

The terrifying Sword Intent—scorching, tyrannical, and capable of burning all creation—descended like a physical entity, instantly locking down Xiao Chen and Meng Bi!

The air twisted under the high temperature, and the ground was scorched black!

"Xiao Chen! Meng Bi! Prepare to die!"

The cold voice sounded like a judgment from the Nine Netherworlds!

Closely following Yao Delong, Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi also moved!

The two of them swallowed the already prepared origin breaking pills without hesitation!

The savage Medicinal Power instantly exploded within their bodies, and their Auras soared like rockets,

instantaneously breaking through the restraints of the Late Golden Core Stage and reaching the level of Golden Core Perfection!

The price was a tearing agony in their Meridians, but at this moment, only power mattered!

"Blazing Dragon Break!"

Xiao Huohuo's eyes were bloodshot, flames surged across his body, and the long saber in his hand transformed into a Roaring Blazing Dragon,

carrying the Aura of Burning All Eight Directions, slashing fiercely toward Scar, who was about to rush to Yao Delong's aid!

"Azure Wave Restraint!"

Lin Shishi formed hand seals, and emerald green Water Elemental Vital Energy surged out,

transforming into several incredibly tough, vibrant Emerald Green Water Vines,

which instantly coiled around Scar's legs and the arm holding the Dagger, like spirit snakes!

Water light circulated over the vines; they were not only tough but also carried powerful Restraining and Delaying Forces!

Scar was both shocked and enraged!

He had originally wanted to immediately rescue the Young Lord, but he hadn't expected these two Golden Core Stage juniors,

to dare consume Forbidden Medicine to forcibly increase their cultivation and block him!

What made him even more frustrated was that the woman's Water Elemental Restraint Spell was extremely troublesome,

and the man's fiery long saber was also exceptionally savage. The two cooperated perfectly, one attacking and one controlling,

actually trapping him, a Mid Nascent Soul Stage Assassin, firmly in place, making it impossible to escape for the time being!

"Trash! Scar, what are you doing! Quickly kill them and come help me!"

Xiao Chen's roar, filled with shock and fury, arrived. He was currently plunged into an unprecedented crisis!
