The demonic path has a numerical advantage in Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the seven sects have a large array to rely on.
Under the command of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Qi Refining disciples, in groups of six or seven, were able to barely hold off one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators by using simple combined attack formations and talismans.
If outmatched, one can retreat into the array's protective barrier at any time for safety.
For a time, the two sides clashed back and forth in the air, with the sounds of magical artifacts colliding and spells exploding constantly. The fight seemed intense, but in reality, the seven factions were mostly engaged in defensive combat and were not fighting desperately.
Lin Chuan and Han Li have an "excellent understanding".
Both of them only used some ordinary high-grade magic weapons. Lin Chuan used a cyan flying sword, while Han Li used a mother-and-child blade. They fought each other back and forth with their respective opponents.
He appeared to be working very "hard," but in reality, he consumed very little magical energy, focusing most of his attention on observing the battle situation and being ready to react at any time.
"We can't delay any longer, things could get complicated! Use the Azure Sun Demon Fire to break the formation as soon as possible!"
The girl in red above looked down at the stalemate in the battle below, her face darkened, and she gave an order to those behind her.
Behind her, seven red-robed cultivators responded in unison, each taking out a large, fiery red banner from their storage bags. The banners were embroidered with a golden crow and blazing sun pattern, radiating a brilliant red light, clearly indicating that they were extraordinary.
"Not good! Those people are the Blazing Flame cultivators from the Demon Flame Sect! They're about to unleash the Azure Sun Demon Flame! Stop them immediately!"
Lu Tianmeng, with his extensive experience, recognized the origin of those banners at a glance. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly gave orders.
Immediately, two or three Foundation Establishment cultivators who were nearby tried to rush over and interrupt the spellcasting.
However, the demonic forces were prepared. Several figures that had been hidden to the side, their auras almost imperceptible, suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
These people clearly used sophisticated methods of concealment or hiding their presence to specifically protect the flag-bearing cultivators.
"The Azure Sun Demonic Fire is extremely powerful and cannot be withstood head-on. We should first move closer to the edge of the great formation so that we can retreat and take cover in time..."
Lin Chuan's mind raced as he manipulated his cyan flying sword to fight his opponent, while his figure subtly drifted backward, gradually approaching the light screen of the Four Fiends Formation.
He glanced at Han Li on the other side out of the corner of his eye and found that Han Li had already retreated to the edge of the array's light screen ahead of him. Han Li was "struggling" to control the black shield for defense while nervously watching the flag-bearing cultivators.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "Junior Brother Han, your caution is truly ingrained in your bones."
Before long, the seven Demon Flame Sect cultivators had pushed the banners in their hands to their limits.
With a "whoosh," each flag tip shot out a flame as thick as an arm, dark blue in color, and radiating terrifyingly high temperature!
Seven cyan flames rapidly converged in the air, merging into a huge, slowly rotating, and dazzling cyan fireball several meters in diameter. It hovered in mid-air, emanating a terrifying wave of destruction.
"Retreat! Quickly retreat back to the formation! Hold the line!" Seeing the situation was dire, Lü Tianmeng and Han Wushuang turned pale and shouted almost simultaneously, urging all the cultivators outside the formation to retreat immediately.
However, due to the suddenness of the event, some cultivators were still some distance from the great formation, or were entangled by their opponents and unable to escape for the time being.
The seven flag-bearing cultivators pointed their flag tips at the seven sects of cultivators who had failed to retreat in time.
"go!"
The enormous cyan fireball emitted a muffled "poof" sound and instantly split into more than ten cyan fireballs, each several feet in size. Like deadly will-o'-the-wisps, they hurtled towards their locked targets at an astonishing speed!
These azure fireballs were incredibly fast, reaching their targets in the blink of an eye. The cultivators, terrified, frantically activated their magical artifacts, released protective shields, and unleashed talismans in an attempt to defend themselves.
But the terror of the "Azure Sun Demon Fire" far exceeded their imagination!
No matter the quality of the magical artifact, or the various protective spells and talisman attacks, once they came into contact with that cyan fireball, they were melted away like ice and snow, silently burned to ashes, without even a chance to resist!
"ah--!"
A series of piercing screams rang out. More than a dozen cultivators were struck by the cyan fireballs, their protective shields shattering instantly. They couldn't even hold out for a single breath in the cyan flames before turning completely to ashes, leaving not a trace behind, as if they had never existed.
Lin Chuan and Han Li narrowly avoided the direct attack of the fireball by retreating to the edge of the formation in advance.
The remaining fireballs after the split, along with the flames subsequently unleashed by the flag-bearing cultivator, bombarded the gray light shield of the Four Fiends Formation like a meteor shower!
"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"
The deafening explosions continued incessantly.
Under the continuous burning and impact of the cyan demonic fire, the gray light shield vibrated violently, and the light dimmed and thinned rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fine cracks even began to appear on the surface!
"This place can't be held! Fellow Daoist Yu! You've been stationed here for years, haven't you prepared any other escape routes?!"
In the chaos, Lin Chuan shouted loudly at Yu Xing.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xing was taken aback at first, then shouted hoarsely, "Yes! I know a secret passage! It was accidentally opened up during the early mining operations, and it leads to a hidden valley dozens of miles behind the spirit mine!"
"Go! Some of you will follow me to cover our retreat, and the rest of you will immediately follow Fellow Daoist Yu into the secret passage!" Lü Tianmeng made a decisive decision and, together with Han Wushuang, led several Foundation Establishment cultivators with higher cultivation levels to retreat.
Led by Yu Xing, they rushed without hesitation toward a cave entrance cleverly concealed by vines and illusion arrays on a certain part of the canyon wall.
The group had just entered the secret passage and hadn't had time to go deeper yet.
"Crack—Boom!!!"
A deafening shattering sound came from behind!
The light shield of the Four Fiends Formation finally collapsed completely under the relentless bombardment of the Azure Sun Demon Fire!
The raging flames surged into the canyon, and any cultivators who were unable to evacuate in time, were still trying to cover the retreat, or were in a panic, were instantly turned to ashes if they were touched by even a trace of the blue flames!
The entrance to the secret passage was also affected, with rubble flying everywhere.
"Hurry up!" Yu Xing urged urgently, leading the way as they ran wildly into the depths of the dark tunnel.
The survivors, still in shock, followed closely.
Each person held either a moonstone or a small spell for illumination, the dim light flickering amidst hurried footsteps and heavy breathing, illuminating the rugged tunnel ahead, filled with the damp smell of earth.
According to Yu Xing, who was running, as he explained.
This tunnel was originally a branch of a very long spiritual stone vein. During long-term mining, it was unknowingly dug through and luckily connected to the exit at the other end. Later, it was used as an emergency secret passage, and very few people knew about it.
The tunnel wound downwards, seemingly getting deeper and deeper.
The terrifying explosions and heatwaves behind them gradually faded away, but the suppressed fear in everyone's hearts did not dissipate.
Just when everyone thought it was safe for the time being and slowed down their pace—
"Boom! Boom—!!!"
Suddenly, the entire tunnel began to shake violently! Like an earth dragon turning over, the rock walls overhead and on both sides groaned under the strain, and large chunks of rock and soil fell down in a flurry!
"Oh no! It's the Earth-Shaking Talisman! The demonic path doesn't even spare the underground!" someone shouted in terror.
"Run! The tunnel is collapsing!"
Several even louder roars came from behind and overhead, as if the entire mountain was collapsing!
Amidst the despairing gazes of the crowd, endless soil and boulders poured down like a waterfall, instantly burying and blocking the narrow tunnel completely!
The light vanished completely, and a terrifying sense of oppression and suffocation came from all directions, plunging the entire underground world into a deathly silence of darkness and chaos.
