13: A fierce battle broke out, and the weather changed dramatically.

The standoff between the Tian Xuan Sect and Beyond Heaven made the air seem to freeze. At the command of Mysterious Mechanism Master, the numerous experts of the Tian Xuan Sect charged towards Beyond Heaven like fierce tigers descending a mountain. Among them, several Elders in the Land Immortal Realm were particularly aggressive, their bodies surging with Spiritual Power, as if they intended to tear apart the very heavens and earth.

"Kill!" The shouts of the Tian Xuan Sect Disciples shook the sky. Relying on their overwhelming numbers, they attempted to crush Beyond Heaven's defenses in one swift move.

Marshal of the Unruly flashed and was the first to meet the enemy. He waved his hands, and black Qi currents swirled around him, forming black sharp blades that flew towards the Tian Xuan Sect Disciples. The Disciples struck by the blades instantly scattered blood and screamed continuously.

"Hmph, you think you can easily take down my Beyond Heaven with just this?" Marshal of the Unruly snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over Mysterious Mechanism Master, full of provocation.

Seeing this, Mysterious Mechanism Master roared in anger, "Old scoundrel, watch how I deal with you today!" With that, his body moved like lightning, charging toward Marshal of the Unruly. The long sword in his hand shone with golden light, carrying an Aura of destruction, as he brought it down in a slash.

Marshal of the Unruly dared not be careless, fully mobilizing the power within his body. The black Qi currents condensed into a massive shield, blocking Mysterious Mechanism Master's attack. With a loud "boom," the powerful impact caused cracks to appear in the ground.

At the same time, West Gate Blows Snow and Ye Gucheng each displayed fierce sword techniques, plunging into the ranks of the Tian Xuan Sect. West Gate Blows Snow's Sword was incomparably fierce, every strike carrying the momentum of thunder, his Sword Qi crisscrossing the battlefield, causing Tian Xuan Sect Disciples to fall wherever he went. Ye Gucheng's Sword, on the other hand, was like a meteor from outside the heavens—elegant yet deadly. As his Sword flowers flashed, the enemies were left defenseless.

"Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!" Ye Gucheng shouted clearly, leaping high into the air. The long sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling light, like a brilliant shooting star, heading straight for an Elder in the Land Immortal Realm.

The Elder's expression changed. He hurriedly waved the Magic Staff in his hand, and a green light barrier appeared before him, attempting to block Ye Gucheng's attack. However, Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens sword technique was unmatched in power. With a "boom," the light barrier shattered, and the Elder was struck by the Sword Qi, sent flying backward, spitting blood.

Thirteen Swallows and Li Xunhuan were not idle either. Thirteen Swallows unleashed the Thirteen Swords of Life Taking, his Sword shadows overlapping as he engaged in fierce combat with the Tian Xuan Sect experts. Li Xunhuan, meanwhile, watched from the side, seeking an opportunity, his Little Lis Flying Dagger ready to strike at any moment. As soon as someone from the Tian Xuan Sect revealed a flaw, the Little Lis Flying Dagger would shoot out like lightning, never missing its mark.

Fu Hongxue stood rooted to the spot, holding his long saber, his eyes coldly fixed on the battlefield. Suddenly, he moved, weaving through the crowd like a ghost. Every strike of his saber accurately targeted the vital points of the Tian Xuan Sect Disciples. The Saber Qi of the "Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon" crisscrossed, leaving blood mist in its wake.

While the people of Beyond Heaven and the Tian Xuan Sect were locked in fierce combat, Jiang Yulang was not idle. He disguised himself as a Tian Xuan Sect Disciple and infiltrated the rear of the Tian Xuan Sect forces. At this time, the rear defenses of the Tian Xuan Sect were relatively weak. Jiang Yulang seized the opportunity and quietly sneaked into the area where the Tian Xuan Sect stored important supplies and Secret Manuals.

"Hmph, since you want to seize the treasures of our Beyond Heaven, I'll start by taking your things." A hint of cunning flashed in Jiang Yulang's eyes as he began searching the storeroom for important items.

After searching for a while, he finally found the Tian Xuan Sect's foundational Secret Manual, the "Nine Yang Heavenly Art," along with some precious Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures. Jiang Yulang pocketed all these items and quickly left the storeroom.

Meanwhile, Xu Ziling and the experts of Qingfeng Pavilion also joined the battle. The Disciples of Qingfeng Pavilion utilized their unique Clear Wind Sword Technique, cooperating with the people of Beyond Heaven to form a pincer attack against the Tian Xuan Sect.

"Everyone work together to repel the Tian Xuan Sect!" Xu Ziling shouted while fighting.

The Pavilion Master of Qingfeng Pavilion, Master of Clear Wind, also personally took action. As the long sword in his hand swung, gusts of clear wind forced some of the Tian Xuan Sect experts to retreat repeatedly.

However, the Tian Xuan Sect was, after all, a large Sect with profound heritage. Although they were initially caught off guard by Beyond Heaven, they quickly adjusted their tactics and began an organized counterattack.

Mysterious Mechanism Master was furious upon seeing his side fall into a disadvantage. He fully mobilized the Spiritual Power within his body, and his Aura suddenly increased several times over. "All of you, die!" Mysterious Mechanism Master roared, thrusting his long sword fiercely towards Marshal of the Unruly.

Marshal of the Unruly felt immense pressure, but he did not retreat, engaging in a desperate struggle with Mysterious Mechanism Master. Their battle was exceptionally fierce, and the surrounding space was distorted by the fluctuations of their Spiritual Power.

Just then, an Elder in the Land Immortal Realm from the Tian Xuan Sect seized an opportunity and prepared to launch a sneak attack on Ye Gucheng. He quietly circled behind Ye Gucheng, condensing a black light beam from his Magic Staff and shooting it towards Ye Gucheng.

"Watch out!" West Gate Blows Snow saw this scene and was greatly alarmed, rushing towards Ye Gucheng. But the distance was too great, and he couldn't reach him in time.

Just as the light beam was about to hit Ye Gucheng, a golden Flying Dagger flew in from the side, accurately striking the black light beam and scattering it. It was Li Xunhuan who had intervened at the critical moment, saving Ye Gucheng's life.

"Thank you, Brother Li!" Ye Gucheng glanced at Li Xunhuan gratefully, then continued fighting the enemy.

Meanwhile, in the Tian Xuan Sect's formation, some Disciples began to notice something unusual in the rear storeroom. "Oh no, the storeroom seems to have been raided!" a Disciple shouted.

Mysterious Mechanism Master's heart tightened upon hearing this news. He knew that the rear storeroom housed the Sect's important supplies and Secret Manuals, and any loss would have unimaginable consequences.

"Continue the attack, and be sure to take down Beyond Heaven! I'll go check the rear!" Mysterious Mechanism Master said, turning around and rushing toward the rear storeroom.

Jiang Yulang had just left the storeroom when he saw Mysterious Mechanism Master rushing toward him. He inwardly cried out in alarm but maintained a calm expression. Jiang Yulang quickly hid the Secret Manuals and treasures, then pretended to be panicked as he ran towards Mysterious Mechanism Master.

"Sect Master, this is bad! A group of Mysterious Persons just broke into the storeroom and stole some important items. I chased them for a bit but couldn't catch them, so I came back to report to you." Jiang Yulang said with an anxious look.

Mysterious Mechanism Master frowned deeply, looking at Jiang Yulang: "Are you sure it was a group of Mysterious Persons? Not people from Beyond Heaven?"

"Sect Master, I'm sure. Those people were very powerful, and their movement techniques were strange; they didn't seem like people from Beyond Heaven," Jiang Yulang replied.

Mysterious Mechanism Master felt suspicious, but he didn't have time to investigate thoroughly right now. Worried about further losses in the storeroom, he hurried toward it.

Seeing that Mysterious Mechanism Master believed his words, Jiang Yulang secretly rejoiced. Taking advantage of Mysterious Mechanism Master's distraction, he quietly left the Tian Xuan Sect's formation and returned to Beyond Heaven.

"Master, I have stolen their foundational Secret Manual, the 'Nine Yang Heavenly Art,' along with some precious Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures from the Tian Xuan Sect storeroom." Jiang Yulang reported to Jun Xiaoyao after returning to Beyond Heaven.

Jun Xiaoyao was overjoyed: "Well done, Jiang Yulang. This 'Nine Yang Heavenly Art' is a great gift for our Beyond Heaven."

At this moment, the battle on the field continued. Although the people of Beyond Heaven managed to temporarily resist the Tian Xuan Sect's attack through tenacious resistance and exquisite coordination, the Tian Xuan Sect's strength was simply too formidable, and the pressure on Beyond Heaven was steadily increasing.

"This cannot continue. We must find a way to reverse the situation." Jun Xiaoyao watched the battlefield from behind the scenes, contemplating.

Just then, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly came up with an idea. Using a special communication method, he told Marshal of the Unruly and the others: "Continue fighting and draw their attention. I have a plan."

Although Marshal of the Unruly and the others didn't know what Jun Xiaoyao's plan was, they had complete faith in him and continued their fierce battle with the Tian Xuan Sect experts.

Jun Xiaoyao, meanwhile, instructed Zhao Gao to quickly mobilize all the assassins of The Net, preparing to launch a surprise attack. At the same time, he also had Xu Ziling notify Qingfeng Pavilion, telling them to prepare to launch the final assault at any moment.

A crucial action that would decide the outcome was about to unfold. Could Beyond Heaven, relying on Jun Xiaoyao's strategy, successfully repel the Tian Xuan Sect, protect their treasures, and achieve final victory in this fierce power struggle? And would the Tian Xuan Sect detect Beyond Heaven's plan and respond accordingly? The entire continent was watching this heart-stopping battle, and the situation grew increasingly tense...
