Within the rift valley, a rough wooden fortress rose abruptly, intercepting the entire valley. To pass through, one must make their way through the wooden fortress.

Sun Yan and his group hid in the shadows behind a rock, observing with caution.

They saw several men with iron-blue skin standing on the fortress, pacing back and forth with weapons in their hands along the walls.

"We don't know exactly how many of these Evil People are in the camp. If we suddenly launch an assault, we can catch them off guard, but we only have one chance. If these people react and fight back, the danger will be on us. Everyone should remain vigilant, act swiftly. These Evil People are no longer human, and they deserve no compassion."

Master Bazaar, holding a Demon-Subduing Pestle, spoke solemnly.

Although monks do not advocate killing, this situation allowed for no leniency.

At the gesture of several masters, a group of monks from Lotus Temple rushed out from their hiding, brandishing Precepts Sabers and ran towards the wooden fortress.

Sun Yan had no intention of loafing around; he stepped forward swiftly, joining the crowd.

If he performed well in this battle, it could serve as leverage to trade with Master Bazaar for the Celestial Toad Relic.

Whew!

A few monks formed a human pyramid, allowing others to step on their backs and climb up to the wooden wall.

Leading the charge, Sun Yan, relying on his Martial Arts Physique, took a great leap and landed on a monk's shoulder, reaching the top of the wall first.

Only then did the patrolling Evil People react, rushing towards them.

Up close, Sun Yan realized why Master Bazaar said these people could no longer be considered human.

Their skin was tinged with a purplish-blue, covered with corpse spots, and two fangs protruded from their mouths, resembling zombies.

However, unlike the rigidity of zombies, they showed a certain liveliness, straddling the line between sinister and non-sinister.

Facing such creatures, Sun Yan had no compunction and immediately raised the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal.

Break!

A tiny thunderbolt as thick as a thumb shot out, piercing through the Evil Person's forehead, creating a bloody hole.

Compared to the monks who were still using 'Enchantment' weapons, Sun Yan's methods were evidently a step above.

"Sss!"

Seeing their companion die, another Evil Person angrily lunged towards Sun Yan, mouth agape to bite.

Sun Yan immediately executed a flying kick, his foot slamming forcefully into the creature's chest, sending it flying.

With him breaking the frontline, the following monks quickly climbed up, joining in the slaughter of the Evil People.

Using the advantage of surprise, they quickly descended the wooden wall and invaded the fortress.

The hastily built fortress was anything but refined; inside was extremely crude. Many Evil People were either lying around asleep or engaged in idle chatter.

The sudden appearance of the Lotus Temple monks caught them completely off guard.

One by one, the Evil People fell. The Precepts Sabers, coated with Celestial Pearl Powder, became the deadliest weapon against them. Once touched by the blade, their bodies rapidly decayed.

Sun Yan noticed a pattern; these Evil People seemed already dead, sustained only by a breath.

This enabled their bodies to remain uncorrupted after death, still retaining consciousness.

Though invulnerable to the average person's weapons, once their bodies were damaged by sacred objects, and the breath within destroyed, they naturally returned to dust.

Boom!

With a strike from Sun Yan's Great Seal, an Evil Person's arm was severed, and as it rolled on the ground, it scrambled to crawl away.

Sun Yan was about to finish it off but was suddenly intercepted by several Evil People charging at him, swinging scythes.

With no choice but to defend himself, after some effort to defeat these Evil People, the earlier one with the severed arm had long disappeared.

"Woof woof woof!"

Wherever Dahuang went, flames spewed from his mouth, leaving the Evil People with no strength to resist.

As Elise had said, Dahuang's flames were indeed the ultimate nemesis for these Evil People.

For a moment, unable to mount an effective counterattack, the Evil People were routed by the monks of Lotus Temple, and the battle, barely started, was already nearing its end.

Just as everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a powerful chill suddenly emanated from deep within the rift valley.

Wherever the chill reached, the ground was covered in ice shards, even affecting the torches in the monks' hands, causing their flames to dim.

Dahuang sensed something amiss, lowered his head with bared teeth, and growled warily.

Sun Yan halted his movements, his expression solemn as he gazed towards the source of the cold.

A gigantic silhouette slowly emerged from the cold mist, reaching a height of ten feet.

"So it's you guys."

A towering monk, standing about eighteen feet high, carrying a Yanyue Saber appeared before everyone. His face was gruesomely burnt by flames, with features melded into the skin, resembling a faceless man.
