Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 210

The leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect remained calm and composed. With a wave of his hands, a surge of dark power erupted, easily neutralizing the attack.

He then unleashed several palm strikes. Shi Qinghan and Mo Yu dodged in time, but several disciples of the Tianyin Sect were not so lucky. They were hit by the palm strikes and fell down with screams.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Shihan's eyes. This person's strength was indeed not bad. She gave Duan Siqi a look, and the two quickly adjusted their attack patterns, coordinating with Shi Qinghan and Mo Yu's attacks, and pressed forward.

The battle continued, and Gu Shihan knew that he could not delay and had to finish the fight quickly! The leader and followers of the Tianyin Sect had many tricks up their sleeves.

Gu Shihan felt a chill in her heart. She channeled the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within her body into the sword, causing it to glow brightly red and shoot out a powerful beam of light towards the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect.

The Heavenly Yin Cult Leader sensed a deadly danger and had no choice but to withdraw his palm and retreat. While he was dodging, Duan Siqi took the opportunity to strike a talisman behind him.

The cult leader, in pain, roared and his body swelled up, causing the surrounding air to become icy cold.

Just when everyone thought they were about to be overwhelmed, Gu Shihan discovered that the source of the cult leader's power came from a piece of blood jade at his waist.

Gu Shihan signaled Mo Yu to attack the Blood Jade. Mo Yu understood, gathered all his immortal spiritual power into a sword, and accurately struck the Blood Jade.

With the blood jade shattered, the sect leader's attacks quickly lost their continuous power supply, his movements slowed down, and he began to show signs of weakness.

He knew things were going badly. He knew that things couldn't end well today. If the fight continued, he feared he would die here. Thinking of this, anger rose in his heart, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.

Enraged, the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect shouted, "You are despicable, resorting to sneak attacks! All those so-called righteous sects act with the same treacherous and cunning methods, daring to destroy my Blood Jade? Today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold tomorrow! Withdraw!"

The man in the blood-red robe vanished in a flash, turning crimson, along with the surviving members of the Heavenly Yin Cult.

"Just like that, they got away?" Nangong Yi looked at the spot where the blood had flashed and said worriedly, "Although this man was defeated, he must hold a grudge and will definitely come back to fight in the future."

Gu Shihan frowned and said, "Indeed! We've found ourselves a huge time bomb. There's nothing we can do; our strength is still too weak. We must improve our strength as soon as possible."

"Yes! The great victories we've won in recent battles have made us a bit complacent, and we seem to have relaxed our cultivation quite a bit."

"There was no danger before because we hadn't encountered a real opponent. Today's battle with the Heavenly Yin Sect Master made us realize our weakness. He's too strong, and he has too many tricks up his sleeve," Shi Qinghan said with some annoyance.

"Immortal Master, thank you so much for saving our village, for saving us!" the villagers said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Go home now. Be careful in the future and don't trust strangers easily. We'll handle things here!" Mo Yu waved the villagers away.

Nangong Yi and his group collected all the storage treasures of the Tianyin Sect members, burned all the cultivation techniques and corpses in one fire, and then left the village.

The nine of them cultivated and trained at the same time, and more than three months passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, the nine people passed through a valley. "Shi Han, something's different here. My heart is pounding. I'm afraid something might happen!" Duan Siqi interrupted the group's laughter and said.

Gu Shihan stopped and examined the area carefully. Her brows furrowed as she sensed a familiar yet unsettling aura.

“Hanhan, you’re right. This aura should be that of the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect. I estimate he’s not far from here.” Xingbai’s words confirmed Gu Shihan’s doubts.

"Everyone be careful and on guard. Xingbai said the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect is nearby. Activate the isolation talisman and hold your breath!" Gu Shihan earnestly instructed. "The leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect, could he have set up an ambush here?" Wenxin asked.

"That shouldn't be possible, right? How would he know we would pass by here..." Before Nangong Yi could finish speaking, a burst of wild laughter was heard.

"Hmph, this is truly a stroke of luck! I never expected to run into you so soon. It seems my great prophetic abilities have improved once again. You've delivered yourselves to my doorstep today? I'll make sure you have no chance of escape!" A flash of crimson light appeared, and the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect appeared before everyone.

Gu Shihan remained calm and quietly said to his companions, "We will use the tactics we practiced before to deal with this. We must defeat this strong man with our weaker strength and make sure he is taken down today."

The crowd immediately took up battle formation. Upon seeing this, the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect laughed disdainfully: "You think you can rely on such petty tricks? Let me tell you, all your schemes and tricks are worthless in the face of strength, especially when facing my unique move."

Before the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect could finish speaking, he launched a preemptive attack. This time, his moves were even more ferocious, and dark power surged forth like a tidal wave.

Gu Shihan and the others fought back fiercely to avoid contact with the black energy.

Duan Siqi secretly set up a trapping formation, hoping to find an opportunity to lure the leader of the Tianyin Sect into the formation.

Mo Jian and Gu Jiahui worked together, deliberately creating an opening to lure the sect leader closer to the formation.

As soon as the leader stepped into the array's range, Duan Siqi immediately activated the array, using its power to temporarily trap the leader of the Tianyin Sect.

Gu Shihan seized the opportunity, and with everyone's cooperation, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in her hand transformed into a red lotus and descended.

The leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect was not to be outdone, and a ball of dark green flame met the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, struggling to resist it.

Gu Shihan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't recognize the large black and green flame, but it made her feel a chill.

Gu Shihan no longer held back and increased the output of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Gradually, the Heavenly Yin Sect Leader's expression grew worse and worse, and he discovered that some force was constantly weakening the power within his body.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire burned ever brighter, and when Mo Yu and the others saw that the time was right, they unleashed their strongest spells to attack the trapped leader.

Just as the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect was about to collapse, a flash of blood appeared in his eyes. He recklessly burned his own essence and blood, broke free of some of the restrictions, and forcibly broke through the encirclement in an attempt to escape.

Knowing he had suffered a severe blow, he felt a deep resentment and glared hatefully at Gu Shihhan and the others: "I'll let you go for now, but I'll take your lives another day." With that, he turned into a blood-red mess and fled.

"He got away again?! Cough cough!" Before Wen Xin could finish speaking, she spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Poisoned?!" Gu Shihan rushed forward to check, and the others were not much better off, all collapsing to the ground weakly.

Gu Shihan hurriedly fed everyone antidote pills, feeling extremely fearful. If that guy had persisted a little longer, he might not have been the one to lose.

"Shi Han, thank you!" Duan Siqi forced a smile.

"It's alright, you're all just poisoned!"

"Poisoned? We were too careless! Luckily he ran away, otherwise..." Nangong Yi said with lingering fear.
