78: I wanted to be as steady as an old dog, but reality forced me to take action!

"What? That earth-shattering roar just now was a Great Demonic Beast of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage!"

At this moment, the disciples who were battling the Great Demonic Beasts of the Nascent Soul Stage all froze, their expressions changing as they heard Lin Xun's loud voice.

If there truly was a Great Demonic Beast of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage lurking deep within Youyun Valley, then their current situation was dire.

After all, they only possessed Nascent Soul Stage cultivation; before a Great Demonic Beast of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, there was only one path: death.

"Senior Brother will definitely not lie to us, retreat quickly!"

As the young man, Junior Brother Jiang, spoke, he fiercely swung the long sword in his hand.

In an instant, several powerful sword intents suddenly burst forth, sweeping towards the depths of Youyun Valley.

Wherever they passed, Great Demonic Beasts below the Nascent Soul Stage were instantly reduced to bloody mist.

Even the Great Demonic Beasts of the Nascent Soul Stage were forced back by the powerful sword intent, unable to advance even half a step.

The young man's action was intended to buy time for everyone to retreat.

But before a Great Demonic Beast of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, it was ultimately futile.

Accompanied by terrifying beast roars, six crimson lights suddenly erupted from the depths of Youyun Valley.

This caused the thick mist that enveloped the entire Youyun Valley to instantly dissipate.

At the same time, three terrifying Nascent Soul Transformation Stage auras suddenly burst forth, sweeping in from the depths of Youyun Valley.

In just an instant, that suffocatingly powerful pressure filled the entire Youyun Valley.

By the time everyone recovered, they were already suppressed by this powerful pressure, unable to move at all.

"A few human cultivators who only have Nascent Soul Stage cultivation actually dare to step into this Youyun Valley; they truly have a death wish!"

"Although they are only at the Nascent Soul Stage, they are barely enough for this lord to have a full meal."

"Oh, what an eye-opener, there's even a Golden Core Stage ant!"

Three voices, like thunderbolts from a clear sky, suddenly exploded in Youyun Valley, causing everyone's souls to tremble.

A moment later, three incredibly tall Great Demonic Beasts appeared before everyone's eyes.

They were the Blazing Flame Mad Lion, the Two-Headed Flood Dragon, and the Red-Armed Ape.

And as Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, their terrifying figures were like mountains!

Their bodies were also surrounded by monstrous demonic energy, which was extremely suffocating.

"Three... Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage!"

"How can there be Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage here!"

"With our cultivation realms, today is perilous!"

At this moment, the Qingyun Sect disciples, half-kneeling on the ground, looked at the Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage that came into view, their faces filled with shock.

So, Senior Brother's twitching eyelids just now, the ominous premonition, referred to these three Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage.

Everyone suddenly realized it, but it was too late.

After all, under the watchful eyes of the Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, the few people with only Nascent Soul Stage cultivation had no chance of escaping.

Just this powerful aura and pressure caused their spiritual energy to become chaotic and their blood to churn violently.

"Damn it, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters are trapped in a dangerous situation; this is forcing my hand!"

Lin Xun constantly observed the situation in Youyun Valley, his heart wavering.

Facing the current situation, if he didn't want to expose his cultivation strength, he could only flee.

But in that case, his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters would all die here today.

However, if he made a move, his identity as a powerful expert would no longer be hidden!

Just as Lin Xun was still hesitating, the Blazing Flame Mad Lion among them had already swiped out a claw.

"Humans, rest assured and become the blood-food in our mouths!"

In just an instant, powerful Nascent Soul Transformation Stage energy immediately surged and poured down.

And with an unstoppable force, it pressed down on everyone, intent on killing them.

Wherever it passed, the scorching flames burned the space, making sizzling sounds!

"I originally intended to get along with everyone as an ordinary person, but it seems that's no longer possible!"

Lin Xun shook his head slightly, immediately intending to step in and save his group of Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.

But it was at this moment that a terrifying, monstrous sword intent erupted from his Junior Brother Jiang's body.

"I have a single sword strike that can slay a Great Demonic Beast of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage!"

At this moment, the young man's face was resolute, clutching the long sword in his hand, boundless sword intent sweeping around him, having already reached the state of 'man and sword as one'.

However, when Lin Xun saw this scene, his eyes instantly narrowed: This kid... is actually burning his own divine soul power!

"Junior Brother Jiang, stop quickly, leave everything to Senior Brother!" Lin Xun shouted loudly at the young man.

At this moment, he clearly couldn't care about so much anymore.

The worst that could happen after he made a move was to flatten the entire Youyun Valley and scatter the ashes of all the demonic beasts.

Then, he would erase the memories of his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, even if doing so would damage their divine souls.

But the young man smiled calmly and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry, Junior Brother said when he came that he would protect Senior Brother. As long as Junior Brother is not dead, he will never let Senior Brother fall into danger."

With that, the young man fiercely swung the long sword in his hand, unleashing his most powerful sword strike with a resolute posture.

"Slay!"

In just an instant, a soaring sword intent shot forth, instantly striking the Blazing Flame Mad Lion's giant claw.

"Hmph, arrogant, a mere Nascent Soul, die for this lord!"

The Blazing Flame Mad Lion looked at this scene, roaring furiously, as its massive lion claw had already descended before everyone's eyes.

Immediately after, only a deafening "boom" was heard.

That incomparably dazzling and terrifying sword intent was like entering an uninhabited realm, instantly cleaving the lion's claw before it, then streaking across the sky.

"Ah! Damn it, you actually cut off this lord's claw!"

The Blazing Flame Mad Lion was furious, quickly conjuring a new claw, and once again attacked with overwhelming force.

Seeing this, the Two-Headed Flood Dragon and Red-Armed Ape beside him also stopped being spectators.

In just an instant, they had already reached everyone's front.

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, I have cut off the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage pressure from before, quickly escape and immediately go inform the Sect Master about this place!"

The young man stood with his sword, quickly speaking to the several Qingyun Sect inner disciples behind him.

"Senior Brother, we're not leaving, we want to fight alongside you!"

"That's right, in this desperate life-or-death situation, how can we leave Senior Brother alone here!"

"If we're going to die, we die together; if we're going to fight, we fight together!"

As everyone spoke, they also unhesitatingly began to burn their divine soul power.

"In that case, all Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, please follow me to counterattack the Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage!"

"Fight!"

At this moment, everyone stood in a line, their auras all reaching their peak.

Since escape was impossible, they would fight a decisive battle to the death with the three Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage before them!

"My goodness, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, can't you guys be a little less fierce!"

Lin Xun looked at everyone's resolute posture, facing death as if it were home, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Senior Brother, your cultivation realm is low, we'll buy you time, quickly escape!"

"Let me escape...?"

At this moment, Lin Xun, protected behind his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, didn't know what to say.

However, his palms were already sweating.

Watching his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters fall into a life-or-death situation, even he, who was as steady as an old dog, couldn't just stand by and watch coldly.

He wanted to make a move and flatten the entire Youyun Valley, but that unsettling feeling grew stronger and stronger.

It was as if disaster would strike as soon as he made a move.

This was also why, even seeing his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters burning their divine soul power, he could only endure it.
