At the moment, although the Jade Flute Fairy was using the sound of the flute to temporarily hold off the surrounding disciples of the Profound Celestial Temple, it wouldn't last long.

If someone stayed a bit farther away and meditated for a moment, they could recover entirely.

Martial Artists, like Chen Tang and the others, only needed to stuff their ears with paper or cloth in advance to minimize the impact and step forward to help at any time.

For some alchemists, it was even easier to break free from the situation.

Once they retreated from the battlefield and recovered, they wouldn't need to step forward. They could control a flying sword from afar to assist Meng Qi!

In other words, there was not much time left for the Jade Flute Fairy.

Moreover, this was in Bingzhou City.

If things dragged on a bit longer, the commotion here might alert various forces in the city.

By then, the situation would become even more complex and chaotic!

"Take action!"

Chen Tang's mind raced, understanding the crucial point, and he leapt down from the Profound Celestial Tower with a low shout.

The other three didn't hesitate, moving swiftly towards the battlefield.

"Heh..."

Meng Qi waved her duster, fighting two opponents at once without losing ground, still able to speak.

She chuckled lightly, "The sound rhythm martial arts you used, was it learned from the Celestial Sound Valley? Unfortunately, it only delays me for a moment and doesn't affect me."

Before she finished speaking, Meng Qi waved her sleeve and pointed at the skinny young man from a distance.

In the void, a strange force suddenly coagulated!

A mist appeared around the skinny young man, shrouding his form within.

The body technique he relied on so heavily slowed under the shroud of the mist, becoming exceedingly sluggish.

"Is this mystic skill?"

Seeing this, Chen Tang was shocked.

He recalled Mountain Guest mentioning that mystic masters who had cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Realm could wield certain mystic skills that seemed simple but imposed significant limitations and harm on martial artists.

Combined with their own cultivated flying swords, the power doubled!

Before Chen Tang's thoughts finished, Meng Qi's duster's handle end suddenly shot out a white light, slashing towards the skinny young man enveloped in the mist!

In the ongoing fight, Meng Qi finally revealed the means that a warlock should have!

This Observatory Master of the Profound Celestial Temple was more formidable than ordinary warlocks.

Not only proficient in the arts of magic, she was also a martial artist who could contend with the Jade Flute Fairy, at the very least a Fourth Grade!

The silver threads on that duster were both supple and firm, made of some unknown material, infused with true qi, becoming unbreakable, even capable of enduring the edge of the Jade Flute Fairy's ancient sword.

Soft and resilient, the silver threads spread out like a river from the Ninth Heaven, penetrating without obstacle!

Clang!

Inside the mist, the skinny young man wielded his daggers, narrowly blocking the incoming flying sword.

The daggers broke with a sound.

The white light pressed onward, heading straight for the skinny young man's throat!

Swish!

A flash of sword light came, heavily striking against the white light.

Yuwen Heigou had arrived!

The white light paused in its advance, and even though it faced two obstructions, it continued to thrust forward!

The moment it was about to pierce his chest, the skinny young man clasped it tightly between his arms!

Clap!

The sound of metal clanged.

The white light was tightly grasped by the skinny young man's arms, revealing its form, a cold, intimidating flying sword!

This flying sword kept attempting to leap and twist like a viper, trying to break free.

The skinny young man's sleeves soon got shredded by the sword qi, revealing two segments of metal arm guards.

At this moment, sparks flew as the flying sword and arm guards scraped against each other.

Should the skinny young man relax even slightly, the flying sword would surely break free and pierce through him!

Simultaneously, Chen Tang, Dugu Qingcheng, and Changsun Ming reached Meng Qi's back.

Dugu Qingcheng advanced with her sword, her figure melding with the sword to transform into a mass of sword light, charging towards Meng Qi!

"White Bone Swordsmanship?"

Meng Qi initially intended to unleash a killer move to slay this young woman instantly, but she recognized the swordsmanship and frowned inwardly, feeling apprehensive.

"Hmph!"

Surrounded by the encirclement, Meng Qi's expression remained unfazed, fingers forming a spell, pointing at the mass of sword light.

A tremendous force suddenly converged in the void, turning the surrounding air moist.

A wave emerged, quickly forming into a blade, striking towards the sword light!

Boom!

The two collided, the water blade shattered, and the sword light vanished.

Dugu Qingcheng's form reappeared, her pretty face pale, with a trickle of blood edging from her mouth.

Changsun Ming wielded a long spear, fierce like a dragon, shouting with vigor, brimming with grand momentum, with the spear tip blooming like a fiery sun, illuminating the night sky!

"Hmm?"

Meng Qi raised an eyebrow, softly muttering, "Murong Family's Fiery Sun Spear?"

"You're joining the fray too, get lost!"

Meng Qi swung her wide sleeve, unleashing her inner qi onto the spearhead of Changsun Ming's spear with force.

Changsun Ming trembled all over, his tiger's mouth tearing, leaving his arms devoid of any feeling. Yet, relying on sheer willpower, he stubbornly gripped the spear, retreating several steps.

Each step stamped a deep footprint on the ground!

Meanwhile, Chen Tang charged up with a knife.

In her previous encounters with Dugu Qingcheng and Changsun Ming, Meng Qi had shown restraint.

Yet, seeing Chen Tang, Meng Qi no longer held back.

A cold smile flashed in her eyes as her red lips slightly parted, revealing a surge of white light!

The next moment, the white light shot out sharply!

"Watch out!"

Jade Flute Fairy shouted out as she saw Meng Qi's mouth move, sensing something, she suddenly warned.

"Shooting a sword from the mouth?"

Chen Tang's eyes narrowed slightly.

This legendary technique was finally witnessed firsthand.

Up on the Snow Mountain, Mountain Guest had told him that a Foundation Establishment realm warlock could refine two flying swords, one for attack, with the second having multiple uses.

It could be used for attack, for defense, or even for sword flight to escape.

He was advised to be wary since this second flying sword could be kept hidden by some warlocks as a trump card, not easily shown.

Some might hide it within personal items such as dusters, folding fans, or gourds.

The more skilled warlocks could even refine the flying sword into a sword pill, swallowing and nurturing it with innate essence qi.

While using it, the sword pill was held in the mouth.

At the end, purposefully showing a flaw, waiting for the opponent to come close, then unexpectedly spitting out a flying sword to slay them, making it almost impossible to guard against!

Flying swords inherently moved at incredible speed.

At close range, without the opponent being on guard, it almost always hit its mark!

Nonetheless, Chen Tang was prepared and instantly entered a Divine Illumination State.

This white light revealed its true form within his view.

Even so, the speed of the flying sword was astonishing!

Chen Tang's gaze blazed.

"Clang!"

The long knife was unsheathed.

A slash of knife light aimed for Meng Qi's throat!

Too fast!

In Meng Qi's peripheral vision, she couldn't even grasp the presence of the knife in Chen Tang's hand.

Only a flash of knife light surged in her eyes, followed by a chilling intent assaulting her senses!

This slash wasn't aimed at the flying sword but directly towards Meng Qi's throat!

Risking life for life!

Chen Tang rarely did this.

Yet, if a person feared the aging of their beauty this much, she indeed couldn't bear to part with her life either.
