386: Chapter 386 Eight People Joining Forces

[Near you, many Cultivators who had escaped were also hiding.]

[They slumped on their respective flying Magical Artifacts, gasping for breath, faces pale, their bodies still trembling uncontrollably:]

["Phew... Fortunately, I obtained a Thousand-Mile Instantaneous Talisman in my early years and couldn't bear to use it... If I had activated it half a breath later just now, I'm afraid..."]

["I... When Venerable Yong Ye appeared, I felt something was wrong and immediately used my sect's secret Golden Cicada Shedding Shell technique... Looking back, it was indeed wise!"]

["Sigh, who knows how many Fellow Daoists died this time... I just caught a glimpse of several Nascent Soul Stage comrades who didn't even have time to scream before their physical bodies were crushed, leaving only their Nascent Souls to flee..."]

["Later... once the commotion over there settles down, maybe... we can go back and take a look? Perhaps we can pick up some ownerless relics..."]

[Someone suggested in a low voice, their eyes gleaming with a mixture of greed and lingering fear.]

[More people fixed their gazes intently on the area still shrouded in the terrifying energy storm and dust, wanting to see the situation inside clearly.]

["Is... is that... dead?" someone asked with a trembling voice, filled with uncertainty.]

["That was a Spirit Transformation Cultivator! And a terrifying existence capable of drawing five Soul Transformations into a coordinated kill... Just like that... gone?"]

["Not necessarily!" A more experienced Cultivator swallowed hard, staring intently at the center of the storm. "Look!"]

[And there—]

[In the center of the battlefield where destructive energy still raged, amidst the dust and chaotic spiritual light, a clear child's voice rang out, even carrying a hint of excitement and disdain:]

["Heh!"]

["Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"]

["Just as well—"]

["This young master's hands are itching too!"]

[The dust and chaotic spiritual light slowly dispersed, revealing the scene in the center of the ruins.]

[Yun Xiaozi was still standing there, his small body firmly protected inside an incredibly solid, circular golden light shield flowing with Dao Patterns.]

[Inside and outside the shield were two different worlds—outside was a destructive scene of Magic Treasures roaring, energy raging, and the earth collapsing; inside, it was calm and peaceful, with not even a speck of dust drifting in.]

[The combined sneak attack of those five Spirit Transformation Cultivators, all the terrifying power of their Magic Treasures and torrents of Spells, struck the golden light shield, but aside from stirring up ripples, they failed to shake it in the slightest!]

[Yun Xiaozi lowered his head, looking at a dragon-shaped jade pendant held in his palm.]

[The jade pendant's originally warm luster had now dimmed to the extreme, its surface covered in fine cracks.]

["Crack..."]

[With a soft sound, the jade pendant shattered completely, turning into powder that spilled through his fingers.]

[At the same time, that indestructible golden light shield silently dissipated.]

["His Coiled Dragon Protection Pendant is broken! Don't hold back, kill him with everything you've got!" the Spirit Transformation Cultivator who had summoned the Myriad Soul Banner shouted harshly, a fierce light surging in his eyes.]

[The Soul Transformation using the Bone Spirit Cauldron frowned and quickly sent a voice transmission to his companions: "Something's wrong! Intelligence said there were ten Soul Transformations responsible for this assassination. Why did only five of us show up and attack? Where are the other five?!"]

[Just as his doubts surfaced—]

["Chii!"]

["Xiu!"]

["Boom!"]

[Three incomparably fierce, long-prepared attacks suddenly struck from three extremely tricky and hidden directions almost simultaneously!]

[One was the Shadowless Soul-Eroding Needle, as fine as a cow's hair, colorless and odorless, yet capable of corroding the Divine Soul!]

[One was the Law-Breaking Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme and faster than Divine Sense could capture!]

[The last was a Void Imprisonment Net that unfolded silently, covering a space of ten thousand feet, aiming to restrict Yun Xiaozi's movements and teleportation abilities!]

[At this point, the other three Soul Transformations lurking in the shadows finally made their move!]

[The eight Soul Transformations now held nothing back, each using their methods. Magic Treasures were unleashed, spiritual light filled the sky, and Killing Intent surged, completely trapping Yun Xiaozi, who had just lost his jade pendant's protection, in a web of certain death!]

[Eight against one!]

[Faced with the full-force siege of eight Cultivators of the same rank, Yun Xiaozi showed no fear. Instead, a more intense Battle Intent ignited in his amazingly bright eyes.]

["Good timing!"]

[He gave a clear shout and charged forward instead of retreating, his small figure suddenly becoming blurred.]

[What he performed was no ordinary escape technique, but the Old Dean's secret movement technique—Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon!]

[His figure was like a dragon swimming in the clouds, ethereal and unpredictable, weaving through the gaps of the eight violent attacks. Time and again, he avoided fatal blows at the critical moment; while it looked perilous, he was actually calm and composed.]

[At the same time, his hands formed seals as he muttered incantations:]

["Borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth, rotating the Five Elements—Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light!"]

[In an instant, blue, red, yellow, white, and black five-colored radiance erupted around him!]

[The five-colored radiance was not static but rotated rapidly like a millstone.]

[Wherever the radiance passed, the ghostly shadows of the Myriad Soul Banner were cleansed and purified, the pale flames of the Bone Spirit Cauldron were swallowed and converted by the power of the Five Elements, the silver threads of the immortal binding rope were shredded by the Divine Light, and the Evil Qi of the Poison Thunder Orbs was directly annihilated...]

[This Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light integrated offense and defense, containing the principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and destruction. Its power was immense, resisting the first round of the eight people's onslaught as soon as it appeared, even showing signs of faintly pushing them back!]

["This kid's Divine Ability is powerful! Don't clash head-on; fight from a distance to exhaust him and find his weakness!" A Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, seasoned and experienced, immediately commanded via voice transmission.]

[The eight immediately changed their strategy, no longer attacking forcefully but circling like a pack of wolves hunting a tiger. Various Magic Treasures and Spells harassed him from different angles like a rainstorm.]

[Yun Xiaozi was in the center of the siege, protected by the Five Elements Divine Light, balancing offense and defense, and for a moment, he did not fall into a disadvantage.]

[His gaze was like lightning, swiftly scanning the eight people, and instantly locked onto the one with the weakest aura—the Mid-Spirit Transformation Cultivator who had just unleashed the immortal binding rope.]

[This person's positioning was slightly forward, and he seemed distracted by controlling the Void Imprisonment Net.]

["It's you!"]

[A cold light flashed in Yun Xiaozi's eyes. Ignoring the attacks from other directions, he suddenly withdrew the Five Elements Divine Light, enduring two Magic Treasure strikes. Instead, he used the force to launch himself like a cannonball straight at that Mid-Spirit Transformation Cultivator!]

[His speed was so fast it far exceeded the opponent's reaction time!]

["Heaven and Earth Finger—Heavenly Severance!"]

[He joined his fingers like a sword, and at the fingertip, a point of extreme golden light condensed, as if it could sever the rules of heaven and earth. Ignoring the shields and defensive Magic Treasures the opponent had hastily deployed, he stabbed directly at his forehead!]

["Puff!"]

[With a soft sound, the golden light pierced through the brain!]

[The shock and fear on the Mid-Spirit Transformation Cultivator's face instantly froze, the light in his eyes rapidly dimmed, and the aura around him plummeted like a deflated balloon.]

[A panicked, dim, and blurred Primordial Spirit figure suddenly escaped from the crown of his head, attempting to teleport away!]

["Can you escape?"]

[Yun Xiaozi sneered and spat out—]

[A streak of Three-Colored True Fire, condensed to the extreme and containing a trace of Pure Yang evil-breaking power, struck second but arrived first. Like a maggot on a bone, it instantly enveloped the fleeing Primordial Spirit figure!]

["Ah—!"]

[A shrill, short scream that reached the Divine Soul rang out.]

[Under the burning of the Three-Colored True Fire, the Primordial Spirit figure didn't even last a breath of struggle before being completely reduced to ashes!]

[A Mid-Spirit Transformation Cultivator had fallen!]

[However, at the very moment Yun Xiaozi had just killed one person—]

[A sudden change occurred!]
