I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 338 Heroic Sacrifice (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhao Cangyun and his men fought their way to the gate of the Cangling Sect.

Of these hundred-plus people, only Luo Heng, Xuan Zhi, Yu Wei, and Sect Master Lu Qingya were Golden Core cultivators. They stayed around the group the whole time, blocking most of the demonic attacks.

Zhao Cangyun's Qilin Golden Fire suppressed the demonic energy and led the way. Jiang Yi gave him a piece of the paper used for the miner's log, which still had some special smell on it.

"There seem to be far fewer monsters," Feng Wuhen said, puzzled.

"Look!" Qi Tian suddenly pointed to the western horizon.

The once overwhelming tide of demons suddenly reversed direction as if the tide were receding, with countless twisted demonic shadows emitting hungry shrieks as they surged westward.

The pressure on everyone eased instantly, and they saw that the sky in the distance had been torn open by demonic energy, revealing a scarlet rift, with faint silver flames streaking across it like shooting stars.

"It's Senior Sister!" Zhao Cangyun's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "She helped us draw away the demonic tide!"

Chishongzi couldn't help but exclaim, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is truly...a heroine!"

At this moment, all the green leaves surrounding everyone gathered above Zhao Cangyun's head. As if possessed, Zhao Cangyun raised his hand, and the moment the green leaves fell into his palm, they suddenly emitted a gentle golden light and quickly transformed into a wild daisy, the most common type of daisy by the roadside.

Zhao Cangyun's heart skipped a beat; this was the little yellow flower he had secretly pinned to the branch of the ancient tree years ago.

What others saw as an old woman, the ancient tree was always as bright and beautiful as a young girl in his eyes.

The surging demonic power flowed into Zhao Cangyun's dantian like a spring tide, and Zhao Cangyun's body suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

The previously depleted Qilin Golden Flame suddenly surged, and the scorching flames sizzled as they burned the surrounding demonic energy.

Zhao Cangyun's pupils trembled as he gazed at the faint green that was gradually disappearing into the rolling black tide.

I received your return gift!
Zhao Cangyun gripped the hilt of his sword and turned to continue his charge against the demonic tide.

The earth trembled, and demonic energy erupted from the depths of the Cangling Sect like a volcanic eruption, with a pitch-black demonic pillar piercing the sky and dyeing the entire sky dark red.

The seal has been broken!
A violent shockwave swept in all directions, the earth cracked, and countless hideous fissures spread in all directions.

"careful!"

Zhao Cangyun roared, but before he could finish speaking, the ground in the center of the group suddenly collapsed, and a deep chasm a hundred feet wide was torn open, scattering everyone.

Amidst screams, several disciples piloting flying spirits had no time to react and crashed headlong into a spatial rift that suddenly appeared at the edge of the crack. They and their spirits were silently cut in half, blood splattering everywhere.

"Ahhh-"

Many people and demons were entangled by the demonic tendrils emerging from the cracks, dragged into the abyss in an instant, and without even a chance to struggle, they were corroded into a pool of pus and blood in the blink of an eye.

"Rescue!"

Luo Heng Zhenren's eyes were bloodshot with rage. His flaming longsword unleashed a raging wave of fire, forcing back the surging demons. However, he was grazed by a spatial rift, and his left arm was instantly covered in blood.

Master Xuanzhi wildly waved his green feather fan, creating a hurricane that swept up several falling disciples. However, demonic energy surged within the crack, and a tentacle suddenly lashed out, shattering his protective aura and leaving his chest a bloody mess.

"Jade Serpent, please help!"

Zhao Cangyun gritted his teeth and shouted, and the Black Dragon Jade Serpent flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a hundred-foot-long black dragon. Its long tail swept across, lifting up several disciples who were teetering on the edge of the crack and throwing them to safety.

Zhao Cangyun leaped onto the dragon's head, his blade flashing like a waterfall, severing the attacking demonic tentacles.

But the cracks continued to widen, and more disciples fell into despair.

"Get up!"

Through an invisible spatial rift, Master Yu Wei manipulated vines to send his disciple Xiao Jue to the other side of the abyss, where he reunited with Qi Tianfeng Wuhen and the others.

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, came from the direction of the Cangling Sect, and the entire mountain range crumbled in the demonic tide.

At this moment, Zhao Cangyun, Yu Wei, Lu Qingya, Chisongzi, Zhuang Chengxuan, and more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators were on the side.

Luo Heng, Xuan Zhi, Qi Tian, ​​Xiao Jue, Feng Wuhen, and the remaining forty-odd Foundation Establishment cultivators were blocked on the other side of the abyss.

A gigantic demonic hand burst through the black mist, extending from the abyss and clinging to its edge, as if a primordial giant were about to rise from below and deliver a fatal blow to everyone.

"You go first!"

Lu Qingya's voice boomed in the sky above the abyss. The spirit deer beneath him rose into the air, its four hooves igniting with blue flames, and charged towards the sky-covering demonic hand.

Luo Heng Zhenren followed closely behind, with the Crimson Flame Lion roaring alongside, allowing Xuan Zhi to lead the others away first.

"let's go!"

Yu Wei and Xuan Zhi gritted their teeth and shouted, each summoning their flying magical artifacts, and led their disciples in a frantic escape.

Zhao Cangyun knelt on the head of the black dragon jade snake, transforming into a streak of black light, carrying dozens of disciples at high speed.

Using his own wind-elemental true essence, Feng Wuhen enveloped Xiao Jue, Qi Tian, ​​and their disciples, creating a gust of wind beneath his feet.

Suddenly, two deafening explosions came from behind them, followed by the mournful cry of the spirit deer and the final roar of the crimson lion.

Yu Wei and Xuan Zhi trembled, but dared not turn around, only roaring and urging the others on.

"Don't stop! Keep running!"

The blocked demonic tide swept in again like a tsunami, and countless twisted demonic shadows emerged from the demonic energy, surrounding them completely.

Yu Wei took a deep breath, turned around and stood still. The vines under her feet danced wildly like a group of snakes, their tips taut, exuding a surging sword intent.

"Zhao Cangyun, take them away!"

On the other side, Xuanzhi also stopped, waved his blue feather fan, and a hurricane swept up, shredding the approaching demons.

He looked at Feng Wuhen with a resolute gaze.

"Wuhen, take them away!"

Feng Wuhen's lips trembled, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, gritted his teeth and nodded, carrying the array flag and spreading out a moving wind array to protect the others as they continued their breakout. The demonic energy surged, and Yu Wei and Xuan Zhi's figures were quickly submerged in the dark tide.

No one dared to linger; they rushed forward desperately, with the collapsing earth and the roaring demonic tide behind them.

Screams continued to erupt, and people continued to disappear. They never looked back; only by moving forward could they find a glimmer of hope.

The most turbulent demonic tide was blocked behind them by their leaders who risked their lives. They didn't know how long they ran or how long they fought, until the black demonic energy suddenly dispersed to both sides, and the howling wind and the roar of waves crashing against the rocks reached their ears.

"We've arrived at the beach!"

Everyone wept with joy, but when they turned around, they found that the once mighty procession had dwindled to just a dozen or so people, all covered in blood and barely breathing.

"just in front!"

Zhao Cangyun, along with Chisongzi, Zhuang Chengxuan, and a dozen others, joined Feng Wuhen and his group. Zhao Cangyun's nose twitched slightly as he sniffed the ancient scent lingering in the air.

However, the aura was too faint, mixed with the demonic energy, making it difficult for Zhao Cangyun to discern its exact location.

Chisongzi suddenly stepped out from the crowd, waved his whisk, and a gust of wind dispersed the surrounding demonic energy, abruptly stopping the sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the beach.

In that moment of silence, an inexplicable force inspired Zhao Cangyun, who suddenly swung his sword and cleaved a huge reef.

boom!
The reef had collapsed, and the floor of the cave below was covered with square stone pillars of varying heights arranged in an array, each pillar engraved with intricate runes.

Zhao Cangyun's blade flashed past, but it didn't leave even the slightest mark on the stone pillar, which was exceptionally sturdy.

"Found it! There really was a mechanism!"

Zhao Cangyun recalled the incantation left by Jiang Yi, and referring to the words on the stone pillars, he quickly jumped onto the stone pillars and stepped on them one by one in order and direction.

Just then, the sky in the distance suddenly darkened, black clouds surged, and countless twisted demonic shadows roared as they approached.

"The demonic tide is coming again!"

Feng Wuhen gritted his teeth and growled, gripping the array flag tightly in his hand. He couldn't stop trembling, but in the end he made up his mind and stepped forward with the array flag in his hand.

Before Feng Wuhen could react, his shoulder was suddenly pressed down. He saw Xiao Jue carrying the sword box on his back, already rushing towards the oncoming demonic tide.

"You go first."

"Xiao Jue, I'll fuck your grandpa!"

Feng Wuhen shouted with red eyes, but at this moment, he had lost the courage to step forward again.

Qi Tian choked up, his feet felt like lead, and he stared at Xiao Jue's departing figure.

"Senior Brother Zhao! Hurry up!"

The others roared, their voices filled with despair.

Cold sweat beaded on Zhao Cangyun's forehead as he moved swiftly between the stone pillars, finally!

click!
The runes on the stone pillars suddenly lit up, the ground trembled, and the central stone pillars sank one after another, with the seawater swirling to form whirlpools, and a world could be faintly seen within them, indeed a small secret realm.

"opened!"

Zhao Cangyun was overjoyed and was the first to jump in. Inside the man-made cave, he saw an ancient and well-preserved teleportation array standing quietly.

Zhao Cangyun immediately took out all the high-grade spirit stones he had and placed them into the various array eyes to speed up the restart of the teleportation array.

Outside, the demonic tide had already rushed in front of them, and the ferocious demonic shadows roared. Xiao Jue stood alone against the demonic tide, with dozens of flying swords swirling around him, forming a sword curtain to block the demonic tide.

Xiao Jue's figure was instantly swallowed up by the demonic tide, but the sword curtain was like an indestructible barrier, forcefully blocking the impact of the demonic tide.

"My dream in this life is to be a hero in the spotlight."

Xiao Jue's voice was scattered by the waves. Everyone had mixed feelings, but they dared not delay and quickly entered the small secret realm.

Xiao Jue stood beneath the demonic tide, his twelve flying swords tearing brilliant trails in the darkness as he fought and retreated.

"Why don't you run?"

Xiao Jue glanced at the sword box floating beside him out of the corner of his eye.

The sword case remained silent, only trembling slightly.

Xiao Jue turned around and looked back, but there was no one behind him.

"Looks like I won't be able to be the center of attention anymore..."

Xiao Jue smiled bitterly, but a resolute light ignited in his eyes.

"It will definitely take them a little longer to activate the teleportation array. Let's hold on a little longer."

The demonic tide grew increasingly turbulent, each demonic creature grotesque and terrifying, its body emanating a corrosive demonic aura.

One after another, Xiao Jue's flying swords were eroded and shattered by the demonic energy, the runes on the sword cases peeled off, and they cried out incessantly.

The purplish-black demonic patterns coiled around his skin like poisonous vines, scorching his flesh and soul!

He remained standing ramrod straight. "Just a little longer..."

The teleportation beam finally shot into the sky!

Under the shadow of the demon, Xiao Jue laughed wildly, unrestrained yet desolate.

"Even without the spotlight, I'm still... a hero this time!"

Before the words were finished, the last sword energy exploded like a meteor, and the even more turbulent demonic tide mercilessly engulfed that single point of intense light.
