Chapter 366: Enemies from both sides
Boom——

Thunder rumbled across the mountains and fields. A figure in white robes, wielding a nine-foot-long spear, moved like a dragon across the land. With every gesture, he stirred up waves of yellow earth, pressing down on the leaders of the surrounding sects!

Although outnumbered, all the cultivators present were there to seize the treasure, and no one was willing to risk their lives to be a stepping stone for others. As a result, the surrounding crowd all stepped back to avoid its sharp edge, and used a thousand techniques to restrain the python dragon that was dancing wildly in the forest.

Ye Yunchi quietly crept to the vicinity of the hill, intending to cover Xie Jinhuan's retreat, but he really didn't expect that Xie Jinhuan would dare to charge into the fray even when facing a hundred opponents alone.

The sect leaders and elders who dare to roam here are all powerful, and knowing the dangers of this trip, they have brought all the necessary magical artifacts and protective gear. Moreover, Chen Yishan is also secretly present.

As the second-in-command of the Gu Poison Sect, Chen Yishan is no weaker than Lü Yan. Moreover, the strength of the Poison Rat in fighting lies in using teammates or puppets as meat shields while he hides in the shadows to control the field and seize opportunities.

If the wizards in the rear are not eliminated, Ye Yunchi's entry into the fray will not be able to reverse the situation at all, and he himself will even be ambushed by curses. Therefore, he chose to lie in the shadows and seek out Chen Yishan, who poses the greatest threat.

Chen Yishan's "Ghost Cry Curse" failed to stun Xie Jinhuan, so he once again disappeared into the sea of ​​mist, silently moving through the forest, circling around to Xie Jinhuan's back, seizing the opportunity when Xie Jinhuan was about to draw his gun, and letting out another cry:
"Duwu——"

As a fellow practitioner of the Gu Poison Sect, Bu Yuehua was extremely familiar with her own methods. The moment the sound waves emerged from the mist, the three black flying knives transformed into butterflies and struck the depths of the sea of ​​mist.

Whispering rustling——

At the same time, Nangong Ye suddenly leaped into the air, his long sword unsheathed on its own, creating a dazzling stream of light in the torrential rain, tearing through the sea of ​​mist and transforming into a thunder dragon.

Beneath the thunder dragon was a frost-white sword light that split the sky and opened the sea. Ye Yunchi arrived late but arrived first, forcefully thrusting forward and delivering the sword to Chen Yishan before the two spells could be cast.

Chen Yishan had anticipated that Xie Jinhuan was with his teammates, but being suddenly attacked by three people at once was bound to put him under some pressure. Seeing the sword light and spells coming, he used his vine staff to unleash a stream of light and pierce the ground.

call--

Then an endless cold wave spread outwards from the front of the body, and the raindrops almost instantly turned into ice crystals, and the ground turned completely white with frost.

Ye Yunchi thrust his sword forward, and the moment he collided with the cold wave, ice crystals condensed on the sword's edge and spread backward, causing his limbs and energy to slow down.

Meanwhile, the Gu Poison Sect, whose main cultivation was water and wood, unleashed several twisted vines that broke through the soil as the endless cold wave erupted, attacking the three and slowing down their offensive.

Chen Yishan seized a brief opening, but was then engulfed by the fog and disappeared without a trace. Then:
buzz~
A tremor of divine soul resounded from all directions, and several low-level cultivators who had crawled out of the sea of ​​sand once again charged towards the three who had suddenly appeared, like madmen, their shouts punctuated by a furious cry:

"Bu Yuehua, are you siding with outsiders?!"

Nangong Ye and Bu Yuehua were much weaker than Chen Yishan, and both switched to a defensive stance when faced with the attack on their souls.

As the leader of the Gu Poison Sect, Bu Yuehua's attack on Chen Yishan, a senior disciple, was indeed somewhat disrespectful to his master and ancestors. He even responded with the following statement:
"Xie Jinhuan is my junior. I hope that my senior uncle can stand aside. If he insists on seizing the opportunity, I can only protect him."

Ye Yunchi, on the other hand, had no psychological barriers in dealing with Chen Yishan. Holding his sword, he searched through the fog, occasionally thrusting his sword at a possible location.

sough--

Although the Gu Poison Sect is known for its cunning, it would have been almost impossible to locate the main body in the fog sea without Xie Jinhuan's divine assistance. However, with such pressure, Chen Yishan would not be able to find time to sneak around Xie Jinhuan's back.

Without Chen Yishan's interference, Xie Jinhuan was under much less pressure. Wielding his spear, he swept across the wilderness, and almost no one he encountered could withstand a single blow.

However, there were indeed quite a few sect leaders and elders present, and their life-saving magic treasures and supernatural abilities varied greatly. After fighting for a long time, they only managed to take down three or five people.

After Lu Yan unleashed a fireball on Chen Yishan, he hid on the edge to watch the show. His intention was to wait until Xie Jinhuan couldn't withstand the attack and threw away the opportunity, then enter the fray to 'accidentally pick up the opportunity' and help Xie Jinhuan out of the predicament to repay a favor.

But this strategy is based on the premise that Xie Xiao'er is no match for him.

The large group of patriarchs and sect leaders present seemed to have an absolute advantage in strength, but each of them was trying to preserve their strength so that others could fight desperately.

Now that Xie Jinhuan has powerful allies and Chen Yishan, the biggest threat, is being restrained, it's clear that this bunch of half-hearted old patriarchs can't be kept in check.

If they continue fighting like this, Xie Jinhuan's fifth-realm foundation is undeniable. Before his true energy is exhausted, he might not be able to kill all of them, but he can definitely drive them away.

If Xie Jinhuan really turns the tables, then his trip to Dragon Bone Beach was for nothing...

Lu Yan held the Imperial Fire Token in his hand, his eyes showing some hesitation, feeling that he couldn't decide whether to fight or not.

Fortunately, Xie Xiao'er's hatred level was too high, and the situation he faced was not as smooth as he had imagined.

Boom boom...

Xie Jinhuan wielded his spear and dodged and weaved, not aiming to kill everyone present, but rather to stall until the ceasefire thunder sounded, thus fighting rather conservatively.

Chen Yishan, being watched by three female cultivators and unable to find any opportunity to launch a sneak attack, gradually began to frown.

After all, if Xie Jinhuan wanted to preserve his opportunity, his best option at the moment would be to rely on his teammates for protection, fight and retreat, and try to return to Yanbo City to end the battle. But Xie Jinhuan is blindly fighting a pointless battle here. If he loses, he will die on the spot; if he wins, he will be greatly exhausted, and there is no decisive victory. Who knows if old fogies like Lü Yan, who are holding back their strength, will jump out and take advantage of the situation?

Faced with such irrational behavior, Chen Yishan realized that there was a trap behind it and dared not delay any longer. He moved away from the mountains and fields, widening the distance between Xie Jinhuan and his allies.

Lu Yan, who was overseeing the battle from a distance, initially thought that Old Man Chen wanted to retreat, but as the battlefield was divided, two bursts of energy suddenly emanated from the unnoticed depths of the mountains:

Sa——

A chilling sword light flashed out from the forest without warning, moving as fast as a shuttle yet as agile as a butterfly, drawing irregular arcs in the air, instantly piercing through the rain curtain of the forest and arriving behind Xie Jinhuan, who was wildly brandishing his gun!

Lu Yan frowned upon seeing this scene. After all, judging from the momentum of the attack, the sword master's cultivation was above his own, and he did not seem like a martial artist, but rather like a sword cultivator from an ancient Taoist sect.

The most important thing for a sword cultivator is the sword. It is said that one must obtain the metals of the five directions to forge a sword blank. The sword forged is similar to the Heaven-Turning Umbrella of the Qixia Immortal and can grow infinitely.

Because of the scarcity of rare and precious materials, the methods of sword cultivation had long been lost in the Taoist sect. The sword control technique of Zihui Mountain can only be considered a superficial understanding of sword cultivation, and it is not the same as the real sword cultivation. However, with the birth of the Taoist Kongkong, this method has reappeared in the world.

As for its power, in Daizhou, the Taoist Kongkong's hundred-mile flying sword directly shattered the golden body of the monk Wuxin, which is enough to show the domineering nature of this thing. If we say that it is second to none in terms of attack power, no school in the world dares to claim to be number one.

As Xie Jinhuan saw the sword light, he also realized that an ambush had appeared. He immediately abandoned the pursuit of the many unaffiliated individuals and silently recited in his mind:
"Tianquan!"

Boom——

As soon as the thought arose, boundless energy erupted from his body, and even silver scale phantoms appeared on his skin.

Faced with the three-inch flying sword darting erratically in the air, Xie Jinhuan's speed suddenly increased, and he flew backward while simultaneously raising his spear and firing repeatedly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
ding ding ding...

The three-inch flying sword seemed to dart around in front of me like a living thing, and although it was deflected several times, it still managed to stab me again.

The nine-foot-long spear that Xie Jinhuan had seized was originally a top-grade magic weapon, but it was like rotten wood in front of the three-inch blade. Broken iron and sparks flew everywhere. In an instant, it turned into a long staff. Therefore, he abandoned the spear and used the Heavenly Gang Mace to sweep with all his might.

clang--

The clash of metal sent explosive sounds echoing through the mountains and fields!
The Heavenly Mace, imbued with the power of a dragon and python, struck the three-inch flying sword. This time, the mace itself was undamaged, while the indestructible silver sword, though not shattered, was directly transformed into silver specks of light and shot into the night sky by the brute force of the impact.

call out--

In the mountains and forests, Fang Qingxuan was silently approaching on his flying sword when he saw this scene and was stunned. He obviously did not expect that the unassuming iron rod in Xie Jinhuan's hand was of such an extraordinary quality.

Mo Yuan was standing to the side, and because he had revealed his true form, he might be attacked by the cultivators present as if he were a rare treasure. So he was just running around wearing a black cloak.

After closing the distance, Mo Yuan's body was enveloped in black mist and he charged forward. Halfway through, his right hand struck Xie Jinhuan's back. His five fingers were like hooks, and the tips of his fingers were tinged with a blackish-green color, clearly indicating that they were highly poisonous!

Facing the sudden attack from behind, Xie Jinhuan used his Heavenly Mace to block the flying swords that attacked again, while his left hand swept the sword horizontally, delivering a 'Wind and Mist' strike to the rear.

Sa——

The cyan sword energy rolled across the land behind it like a tidal wave, shattering grass, trees, and even raindrops, and was cleaved into dust by the thousands of sword energies in mid-air!

Mo Yuan charged straight into the sword tide. His cloak shattered under the onslaught of sword energy, revealing his black armor underneath. His bare face and hands were covered in black scale phantoms. Despite withstanding the sword tide, he was unharmed and managed to grab Xie Jinhuan with a claw.

Spiral—

The venomous claws instantly tore through the robes, leaving four claw marks on the bronze breastplate, as if it had been slashed by a dragon or python.

The power of the dragon also caused Xie Jinhuan to slide backward. The moment he touched the ground, he recognized the man in black as the giant serpent he had encountered last time. Although he had not entered the second stage, his burst defense was still impressive.

Mo Yuan's claw attack failed to break through Xie Jinhuan's defenses, so he stopped attacking the chest and abdomen and instead used both claws to stab Xie Jinhuan's limbs and head.

Fang Qingxuan rushed forward at the same time, slid out a soft sword with his right hand, and attacked Xie Jinhuan's back while controlling the flying sword.

Ding Ding Ding ~
Xie Jinhuan was attacked from both sides, wielding two weapons and attacking and defending at full speed. However, these two were already high-ranking members of the evil path, with their backgrounds, talents, and cultivation all in the top tier. He was clearly starting to struggle against them, fighting two against one.

The surrounding elders weren't blind either. Although they didn't know the background of these two ruthless characters who had suddenly appeared, they were currently vying for an opportunity.

They can't control Xie Jinhuan, nor can they control these two ruthless people. The best solution is to watch Xie Jinhuan and the evil sect fight like dogs, and then reap the benefits after the fight is over.

Because Xie Jinhuan's invincible record was undeniable, making him the number one opponent, many sect leaders began to "push him while he was down," taking advantage of Xie Jinhuan's overwhelmed state to unleash all sorts of deadly attacks, leaving Xie Jinhuan with nowhere to stand...
