The Way of The Dao

Chapter 408 Constant Protection?

?Diverse and powerful martial skills were deployed in a matter of seconds!

The soul attack had put everyone on alert, so they were concentrated to the limit each one in case another soul attack occurred again.

The surroundings began to ripple, mountains trembled and clouds scattered!

The excessive amount of powerful force threatened to destroy the space as the talismans calmed the space by continuing to expel a strange energy from them. Hong Zhong couldn't help but frown, but he had no choice but to keep pouring out his immortal essence to control the space, fearful that he might once again be expelled into the void.

A large river overflowing with a great amount of energy and light hit everyone first, feeling an immeasurable pressure completely looming over them. Stars appeared above the river, as if adding more destructive force.

As they tried to mobilize their energies to resist, the pressure of the river weakened greatly.

Was it just pressure?

* Crack! *

* Boom! *

Before they finished asking this question, a much more powerful pressure suddenly exploded, causing everyone to succumb instantly!

The shield made of Mu Shuiruo and Xuanyuan Ling shattered in an instant, hitting both women heavily as they retreated a few meters due to the impact.

The two women spat out mouthfuls of blood, as they had protected the others and thus received more damage.

Immortals scoffed. After all, this was the gap in experience even though they might have less strength. Each of them had gone through thousands of battles to reach the level of cultivation they had.

Arrows, swords, stars and whips followed at once, giving them no space to rest!

* Slash! * * Slash! * * Slash! *

Extremely fast and precise slashes came out, countering the incoming attacks!

Hao Zhentian, Ying Chen, Shin Wei and Sun Xiang had managed to come out almost unscathed from the first attack that was like a river and quickly threw their energies to counter the other attacks, preventing Xuanyuan Ling and the others from getting further injured.

"You really want to die!"

A green-robed man sneered and sent a storm made of purple gas, as if it was poison towards them. These four men with a high level of cultivation were the most threatening of the group.

Ying Chen snorted and waved his hand, forming a giant palm and dispersing the poisonous storm heading towards them.

Knowing that they were in a bad situation, they all performed their most powerful secret techniques!

Tang Wanying charged and shot multiple arrows behind the dozens of heavenly swords that Lan Yin and Qing Sha had summoned, launching them towards the enemies. Long Yuyin threw her daggers as well, breaking through the defense of one and wounding him with the ranged control of her weapons.

Zhang Xinya's mighty spear lit up as flares of fire burned everything in its path, surprising even some as they felt the powerful flame of the weapon!

The approaching Immortals expelled their immortal essences, overflowing large amounts of Chi as they collided with the counter-attacking attacks.

Hao Zhentian and Shin Wei defended and countered more than 5 enemies within seconds, demonstrating their powerful fighting capabilities and strength!

The enemies could not beat them easily, still retreating, realizing that these men had a good level of experience in the few exchanges they had.

Sun Xiang launched the same type of giant palm that Ying Chen had done earlier, knocking back several enemies who had targeted Xuanyuan Ling, Shan Qingwu, Tang Jigtian, Chu Feng and Mu Shen, the latters of them being unable to escape due to the difference level of strength.

A powerful pillar of fire shot towards Yun Mengxin, and she poured her cultivation essence into her sword, slashing towards the pillar and destroying the monstrous Chi gathered in it!

* Boom! *

Shockwaves spread all over the place, rumbling the earth and destroying everything in their path!

The barrier created by Mu Shuiruo and Xuanyuan Ling was created once again when the image of a sun radiating explosive energy was created!

A man performed some seals and his immortal essence began to rampage as an image of a ferocious tiger was created above him, radiating an energy that seemed like it would sweep away everything!

* Roar! *

The calamity tiger roared as it charged towards them all, moving through the air as it released fiery breaths in its path.

An image of a hammer formed on the other side as one of them appeared there, creating ripples before heading towards them and preventing them from escaping.

* BANG! *

* BOOM! *

Before the attacks fell, giant palms crashed into the tiger and the hammer, stopping their path and protecting the others.

Shin Wei and Sun Xiang were the ones who had countered the attacks, protecting Mu Shuiruo, Shan Qingwu and the others!

The image of the tiger weakened but quickly attacked again as everyone thought it was about to dissipate.

However, Sun Xiang, who had countered it at first was not even surprised, as if expecting it, the second palm shot out from his hand, instantly eliminating the secret technique!

The particles of the giant hammer that exploded in the air quickly turned into powerful blades, heading behind, especially towards Lan Yin and Qing Sha!

Qing Sha and Lan Yin poured more of their cultivation essences to defend against these blades!

* Boom! *

But a figure quickly fiercely struck all the blades, instantly disappearing them before they reached the two little girls!

Shin Wei was the one who had protected both girls, which made the others a little surprised.

Lan Yin and Qing Sha were surprised and then went back to executing their sword technique, once again creating as many heavenly swords as they could in their current condition.

* CRACK! *

The sound of spatial cracks again were clearly heard, threatening to bring back the void force!

Mu Shuiruo and Xuanyuan Ling, with an unspoken understanding, pooled their energies together to create the protective barrier as the large-scale attacks fell upon them.

The Immortals sneered at this; only a few of them had been injured thanks to Yun Mengxin, Hao Zhentian and Ying Chen, because they had a low cultivation level, but most of them just released their secret techniques without getting involved and being harmed.

On Yun Mengxin's side, Lan Yin and Qing Sha's heavenly swords managed to make things difficult for the enemies, proving that this was a powerful technique that was even capable of splitting rivers and destroying mountains!

* BANG! *

An elusive and almost imperceptible Chi was felt in an instant when the figure of a finger materialized near Lan Yin and Qing Sha as it attacked them!

"Yinyin, Shasha!" Mu Shuiruo quickly urged her natural treasure's ability to protect Lan Yin and Qing Sha from the unexpected attack.

Nevertheless, Sun Xiang had instantly teleported behind the two and completely received the attack, not letting them hurt the two little girls!

A man's snort sounded as he saw that his attack had had no effect as he was discovered. It was the fifth time a sneak attack had been made, but he missed just like his fellows.

Qing Sha and Lan Yin's heavenly swords were a great inconvenience, as they hindered and could even injure them if they did not take them seriously. Each strike contained enough force to seriously injure them!

That's why they each made long range attacks, focusing on eliminating both girls first because of the type of attack they could make!

Although the other women had great superior strength, long range attacks were their first drawback, and especially since both girls were in the middle of all of them, creating a formation so that no one could reach them.

Tang Wanying changed her shooting direction when she saw that both girls were fine. Her arrows were about to shoot out a second time to confront the unexpected attack, so she sighed in relief that they didn't get hurt.

But even though she breathed a little better, she still couldn't help but frown thoughtfully as she shot her arrows and destroyed the image of a mountain looming over them all.

Sun Xiang and Shin Wei would always endlessly protect Lan Yin and Qing Sha, as if the two of them were their top priorities. They, along with Ying Chen, would also protect the other women and the men from time to time, even if they were still facing several strong opponents.

Even Hao Zhentian would help Yun Mengxin sometimes when some more enemies tried to besiege her, giving her a chance to hit a severe blow or dodge an attack.

Why would they protect them? Especially Qing Sha and Lan Yin, as if they were focused on the two of them, watching and guarding every step they took and defending them from every attack...

Although it could be said that they had formed a temporary alliance, it should not be enough for these people to protect them every time, to the point of even receiving a fierce attack.

Tang Wanying was not the only one who thought this; Zhang Xinya, Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo also thought this, but they all kept fighting.

Attacks crossed the entire battlefield every second, causing everyone to gradually expend all their energies in defending themselves.

The first to be unable to withstand the pressure and fall severely were Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen; their cultivation bases were barely in the Nascent Soul realm, so they were the first to be seriously injured.

Followed by them, Chu Feng and Shan Qingwu fell, breathing heavily as they had no more energy in their bodies.

If not for the help of the shield made by Mu Shuiruo and Xuanyuan Ling and even the intervention of a few times by Shin Wei and Sun Xiang, they would get some much heavier and deeper wounds.

Nonetheless, they still could not help but fall wounded to the ground, completely exhausted, being suppressed by the crushing pressures and strength of the Immortals falling on them. Although they sometimes tried to attack suddenly, they could not avoid receiving more internal injuries.

The Immortals who attacked gradually increased the weight of their attacks as they saw that these people were slow to fall, but they did not exaggerate as they were completely wounded and without more than half of their energies. The others were still slowly recovering, but it was obvious that they would not recover in a short time.

Just by executing their secret techniques, the great martial skills magically deployed, overtaking each one in moments due to the amazing immortal force and experience in executing each skill.

"Surrender, you can barely hold on. As long as you surrender and hand over your storage rings, we will let you live." A blue-robed man spoke arrogantly, sneeringly observing that none of them wanted to surrender despite being at a disadvantage.
