285: Entanglement

This was a critical moment for her to fuse the Yao Race Essence Blood, Demon Pill, and various Heaven And Earth Treasures. She could not afford the slightest distraction, and her own spiritual power needed to be focused on suppressing the violent forces inside the Pill Furnace.

If she made the slightest mistake, wasting the Essence Blood and Demon Pill of that Mahayana Stage Yao Race member, she dared not imagine how miserable her fate would be when the Chusheng Sect Ancestor laid blame upon her.

"Are the guards at the Secret Realm entrance all dead men?"

The Daoist Nun's voice was cold as frost. Her gaze swept over the heavily injured Half-Demon, then returned to Ye Hao and his group. "Mere Nascent Soul Realm ants dare to trespass upon my Alchemy Grounds? You truly have a death wish!"

Ye Hao's pupils contracted sharply. He immediately gave a stern reminder: "Everyone be careful! This person's previous attack demonstrated a cultivation base of at least the Soul Emergence Stage. We absolutely cannot underestimate her!"

Ye Hao dared not show the slightest negligence. A layer of gray Chaos Qi instantly appeared around his body.

At the same time, with a thought, spiritual power surged wildly within his Dantian, and a palm-sized black iron seal suddenly appeared in his palm.

The body of the seal was pitch black, covered in dense, profound runes. It was precisely the heaven-rank magic treasure—the demon suppressing black iron seal—snatched from Fu Yunze in the Demon Suppressing Tower!

This Daoist Nun's Realm was an entire major Realm higher than his. Ordinary methods could not resist her. Only by relying on this Magic Treasure, which contained the Power of Suppressing Demons, did they have a sliver of hope.

Fortunately, the opponent seemed to be at a critical juncture in refining the demon transformation pill, making it inconvenient for her to be distracted.

As long as they could destroy the Pill Furnace and wait for Second Senior Brother to arrive as reinforcement, they would be able to successfully escape and retreat.

The Daoist Nun noticed the demon suppressing black iron seal in Ye Hao's hand, and a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes:

"It's actually a heaven-rank magic treasure!"

"Brat, who exactly are you?"

Ye Hao couldn't be bothered to heed the questioning. His movements to activate his spiritual power became even swifter, pushing the might of the demon suppressing black iron seal to its limit.

The black iron seal instantly burst with purple light, carrying the momentum of ten thousand jun, and smashed fiercely towards the middle-aged Daoist Nun.

The Daoist Nun felt her entire body sink, as if a towering mountain had descended from the sky. An invisible, immense pressure first enveloped her, forcing her floating body to sink more than ten inches.

However, the power of a heaven-rank magic treasure was far more than this.

The crushing force, as if heaven and earth were collapsing, swept over, actually causing the circulation of spiritual power within her body to stagnate slightly.

Ye Hao didn't delay at all. While summoning the demon suppressing black iron seal, he covered the long sword in his hand entirely with Chaos Qi.

A brilliant Sword Qi, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, wrapped in sharp killing intent, swiftly slashed out!

The Daoist Nun was instantly enraged. How could she still care about investigating the origins of the intruders?

Killing people and seizing treasures—once she refined this demon transformation pill, collected the reward promised by the Chusheng Sect Ancestor, and found a hidden place to hide for a hundred years, who could possibly stop her?

Tapping her finger again, a condensed stream of spiritual power shot out, piercing the air and heading straight for Ye Hao's face.

Seeing this, Yun Xuanxuan's light green wings trembled violently, and several bright white feathers flew out, barely managing to block the fatal blow for Ye Hao.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out!

The aftermath of the spiritual power collision caused everyone's robes to flutter. Ye Hao's Sword Qi, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, already wrapped in fierce sharpness, instantly swept before the Daoist Nun's eyes.

The Daoist Nun's pupils contracted, but she showed no sign of panic. As her mind raced, she lightly raised her fair wrist, and an entirely bright white Jade Hairpin shot out from her hair bun.

The Jade Hairpin hung in mid-air, circulating with clear radiance, and actually emitted a strange Spatial Fluctuation.

As soon as the unstoppable Sword Qi touched the halo surrounding the Jade Hairpin, it vanished into thin air, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

The next instant, it shockingly exploded on the mountain wall behind the Daoist Nun, scattering broken stones and filling the air with dust.

"A space-type Magic Treasure?" Ye Hao's heart tightened.

And just in that moment of surging spiritual power.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from inside the Pill Furnace. A fierce and unparalleled Demonic Qi broke through the gap in the lid, rushing straight into the sky like a raging Dragon.

The runes on the body of the furnace flickered, showing faint signs of losing control.

The Daoist Nun could only quickly mobilize her spiritual power to control the Pill Furnace.

Yun Xuanxuan's gaze sharpened. "Attack!"

"Destroy that demon transformation pill!"

Before her voice faded, the Half-Demons behind her had already attacked simultaneously.

Seeing this, the Daoist Nun's expression grew solemn. She flicked her fingers repeatedly, and several spiritual talismans exploded in response.

Immediately afterward, she sent a message outside the Secret Realm.

In a moment!

Dozens of guards wearing Chusheng Sect uniforms flew in on Flying Swords. The person leading them was at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer Realm.

His gaze swept over the melee on the scene, and he shouted sternly: "Audacious maniacs! How dare you trespass into my Sect's Secret Realm! Seize them!"

For a time, shouts of killing, the clang of weapons, and the sounds of spiritual power explosions intertwined.

Yun Xuanxuan slashed with her wings, forcing back a nearby Chusheng Sect Disciple.

She then scolded in a deep voice: "Finish this quickly! We cannot delay for too long!"

She immediately turned to look at Ye Hao: "Young Master Ye, please cover me for a moment. I will go and kill that Daoist Nun!"

Ye Hao nodded in agreement. His figure flashed, and he intercepted the Chusheng Sect Disciple at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.

On the other side, Yun Xuanxuan's light green wings violently spread open, raising a fierce gale, and her figure shot straight toward the Daoist Nun like an arrow.

The Daoist Nun's expression darkened. Her spiritual power was already sluggish due to the pressure from the demon suppressing black iron seal, and now she had to divert her attention to maintain the demon transformation pill that was about to form inside the Pill Furnace. She suddenly found herself overwhelmed.

Gritting her teeth, she raised her hand, and spiritual power hastily condensed into a shield at her fingertips. However, it was easily pierced by several feathers, which grazed past her shoulder, leaving several deep, bone-visible bloody gashes.

Her Soul Emergence Stage cultivation base was actually injured by a Nascent Soul Realm ant?

This turn of events made the Daoist Nun feel immense frustration.

The Jade Hairpin spun rapidly above her head, and the Spatial Fluctuation spread out once more, attempting to divert Yun Xuanxuan's attack.

But this time, Yun Xuanxuan was prepared. With a sweep of her wings, the flying feathers suddenly changed direction, bypassing the Jade Hairpin like agile Flying Swords.

The Daoist Nun's heart tightened. The Demonic Qi inside the Pill Furnace surged again due to her distraction, causing the lid to buzz violently. She had to allocate more spiritual power to suppress it.

Facing Yun Xuanxuan's rapid attacks, she could only dodge sideways in a panic, her long robe ripped by sharp claws, revealing a patch of pale skin.

"Do you truly think this poor Daoist is a sick cat?"

The Daoist Nun roared in anger, her eyes revealing a fierce glare.

Hardening her heart, she fiercely spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Pill Furnace in front of her.

In that instant, the Pill Furnace burst into golden light and emitted deep roars. A stronger force, interwoven with Demonic Qi and spiritual power, actually stabilized the turmoil inside the furnace temporarily.
