98: The battle to defend, displaying valor on the front lines.

The sky was already submerged in violent energy and blinding light. The sounds of explosions, battle cries, the clashing of metal, and the whistling of Spells wove together into a symphony of death.

Under the coalition's continuous bombardment, which was like a raging storm, the Star Moon Sect's protective Formation flickered violently, its light dimming and brightening, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Su Qingyue and the various Elders presiding over the Formation were pale, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, yet they held on stubbornly, continuously pouring their own True Qi and the power of the Spiritual Vein into the Formation eye.

Below, the Disciples were giving their all; countless beams of True Qi rose from every corner of the Sect, merging into the Formation to protect their home together.

Outside the Formation, the battle was even more brutal.

Lin Yang, as if possessed by a war god, was deep in the siege of three experts at the Minor Accomplishment of Spirit Sea Realm!

These three: two were from the Sword Sect, their sword techniques ruthless and tricky, and one from the Immortal Palace, whose Spells were eerie and unpredictable.

The three of them coordinated tacitly, their attacks like flowing mercury, leaving no gaps.

However, although Lin Yang was only at the high stage of the Gang Qi Realm, his Chaos Gang Qi was of extremely high quality. Combined with his formidable physique, astonishing recovery ability, and the assistance of his Chaos Domain Prototype, he actually managed to withstand the siege of the three!

His fists struck like a Dragon, his fingers pierced the Void Realm; he alternated between the Chaos Annihilation Fist and the Chaos Tribulation Finger. Every strike contained the terrifying power to collapse everything, forcing the three experts of the Spirit Sea Realm not to underestimate him in the slightest, requiring them to join forces to resolve his attacks.

His fighting style was wild and domineering, often trading injury for injury, but the devouring characteristic of the Chaos Gang Qi allowed him to plunder some energy from his opponents' attacks to replenish himself, becoming braver the more he fought!

"This brat's Cultivation Technique is eerie! He must not be left alive!" a Sword Sect Elder shouted sternly, the sword momentum becoming increasingly violent.

"Set up the Three Talents Yuan-Locking Formation! Trap him to death!" the Immortal Palace Elder shrieked, waving his hand to cast several runes.

The three figures shifted, instantly forming a simple battle Formation. Their auras connected, and the pressure increased sharply as they attempted to seal off Lin Yang's space for movement and slowly grind him down.

Lin Yang immediately felt the pressure increase significantly; the Domain around him was compressed, and his movements became sluggish. But his Battle Intent burned even brighter in his eyes: "Want to trap me? You aren't qualified!"

He took a deep breath, and the chaos star core within his Dantian spun frantically: "Heaven Swallowing Art, Devour Spirit!"

Boom! With him at the center, a huge energy vortex suddenly appeared. Not only was the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi involved, but even the Sword Qi and Spell energy from the three opponents were forcibly pulled and devoured! Although he could not fully absorb the attacks of the Spirit Sea Realm, it greatly weakened their power and fed back into himself!

The expressions of the three changed; they felt their own True Qi leaking out, and the operation of the Formation became slightly obscure!

"Now!" Lin Yang seized this momentary opportunity, ignoring the two Sword Qi attacks coming from behind, and threw a full-force punch at the Immortal Palace Elder directly in front of him!

"Watch out!" the other two exclaimed.

The Immortal Palace Elder was horrified and hurriedly sacrificed a jade plaque Magic Treasure to block in front of him.

Boom! Crack! The jade plaque Magic Treasure shattered at the sound! The remaining momentum of the fist aura did not fade, slamming heavily onto his chest!

"Pfft!" The Immortal Palace Elder spat out blood, flying backward, his aura instantly wilting.

Lin Yang withstood the two Sword Qi attacks from behind; his dark golden Protective Aura shield fluctuated violently, appearing cracks. He let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes became increasingly sharp. The Chaos Gang Qi circulated, and the injuries were actually healing rapidly!

"Next!" He turned abruptly and lunged at the two shocked and angry Sword Sect Elders.

On the other side, the battle of The Four Women, Bai Wanqing, was equally intense. They coordinated with each other, backing against the starship (the starship's secondary guns provided constant fire support), and circled with the coalition's elite Disciples, who outnumbered them several times over.

Bai Wanqing operated the Clear Heart Art to the extreme; the ice silk turned into countless ice crystal flying blades, surrounding her body, combining offense and defense, and freezing enemies from time to time.

The Chu Sisters, Chu Yunxi and Chu Yuning, were of one mind, combining their twin swords to unleash the exquisite sword Formation of the Xuantian Sword Sect (after modifications). The Sword Qi was fierce and peerless, often able to tear through the enemy's battle Formation.

Mu Yao utilized her understanding of the Immortal Palace's Cultivation Technique and Formation, frequently pointing out weaknesses, casting water-type healing Spells to heal everyone, and even occasionally using some unexpected secret techniques of the Misty Immortal Palace to interfere with opponents.

Although the highest cultivation of The Four Women was only Peak Xiantian (the Chu Sisters, Mu Yao), and the lowest, like Mu Yao, was only high-stage Innate, relying on tacit cooperation, special Cultivation Techniques, and starship support, they actually held back a large number of enemies and even made gains repeatedly.

During the battle, Mu Yao saw her former fellow Disciples attacking crazily under the command of her mother (Elder Mu), her eyes complex, but she did not hesitate to strike. Once, she even subconsciously shouted out a flaw in an Immortal Palace joint attack technique, allowing Chu Yuning to seize the opportunity and heavily injure an Immortal Palace True Disciple with one sword.

This scene was coincidentally seen by Fairy Lingyun, who was fighting Su Qingyue from a distance. Fairy Lingyun was so angry that her face turned blue, and she scolded Elder Mu: "Look at the good daughter you taught!"

Elder Mu was even more furious, her eyes spitting fire, filled with shame and anger, wishing she could rush over immediately to purge the Sect, but she was firmly held back by the desperate counterattack of the Star Moon Sect's Formation and the harassment of the starship.

The battle situation was deadlocked and brutal. Although the coalition had the advantage in numbers and more experts, the Star Moon Sect held firm with the Formation, Lin Yang was unstoppable, and the women coordinated exquisitely, making it difficult to overcome for the time being. Disciples from both sides kept falling, and blood stained the long sky red.

Lin Yang fought more bravely the more he fought; the Chaos Gang Qi became increasingly refined during the battle, and the barrier leading to the Peak of the Gang Qi Realm had already loosened. Like a tireless fighting machine, he moved freely under the siege of three Spirit Sea Realm experts, gradually gaining the upper hand!

Everyone could see that as long as Lin Yang did not fall, the flag of the Star Moon Sect would not fall!

In this battle of protection, Lin Yang, with his astonishing strength and tenacious will, displayed an unmatched might before the Formation, greatly boosting the morale of everyone in the Star Moon Sect!
