The Flying Dragon Sword couldn't withstand the combined assault of so many Earth Immortal experts, and in an instant, it was on the verge of collapse. The Six Paths Golden Wheel hurriedly withdrew, switching from an offensive to a defensive stance, assisting the Flying Dragon Sword in defense.
Even after stowing away the "Three Corpses Mirror," Shi Chun remained motionless, calm and poised, amidst the siege. He wasn't idle, though, as he summoned the "Soul-destroying Mace" and tossed it upward.
In the astonished eyes of the attackers, a majestic pagoda emerged with rolling sands, furious and overwhelming like a deluge from the heavens.
Someone exclaimed, "How many magical treasures does this guy have in his hands?"
The voice was swallowed by the howling yellow sands, expanding like a tornado.
The spinning tornado of sand grew larger and faster, with increasing power. The Heart-wrapping Grass on the ground was instantly pulverized into dust by countless sand particles, and even the boulders on the ground weren't spared, as the frenzied sands dissolved everything in a soul-destroying manner.
The whole world seemed to be stirred.
The group of attackers soon couldn't bear it anymore and had to escape from the encapsulating pillar of wind. Their Protective Gang Qi could not withstand the relentless high-speed erosion of the sand particles.
The group began bombarding the massive wind pillar from the outside. However, their attack power, before penetrating the deep interior of the sand pillar, was dissipated layer by layer.
Under the enormous potential energy, their attack power was like waves splashing continuously on the water's surface.
Shi Chun and Xiao Sheng, even from a distance underground, could feel the buzzing tremors. As soon as they emerged, the sweeping dust and weeds battered them.
Their hazy forms in the dust stood up, looking at the colossal pillar of wind that connected heaven and earth in the distance, both shocked.
"What is that?" Xiao Sheng spat out a mouthful of sand-laden saliva, asking.
"Whatever it is, if we don't run now, when will we?" Wu Jinliang pulled him along, urging a quick escape.
On the hillside, Jiang You'er stared blankly at the enormous wind column in the distance.
Shi Chun hadn't expected the defensive power of the "Soul-destroying Mace" to be so formidable. Overjoyed at the sight, he immediately pulled out the "Three Corpses Mirror" for a glance. Under the barrier of the sand column, they couldn't see him, but he could see the people outside.
The Protective Six Paths Golden Wheel also began spinning rapidly, following the swift rotation of the wind column, and under the cooperation of the black light from the "Three Corpses Mirror," it once again applied devastating strikes on those outside.
The situation instantly became a one-sided assault.
Leaving aside the severity of the damage, wherever the black light reached, everyone fled in terror like scattering birds and beasts.
Faced with an attack method that allowed no retaliation, only a fool would stand firm.
Suddenly, the black light was gone, and the deafening rotating commotion vanished with it, leaving only the thick, spreading dust cloud continuing to expand across the sky and earth.
The retreating assailants instantly realized something was amiss.
Upon moving closer to investigate, indeed, there was no sign of the target.
Soon after, someone landed beside Jiang You'er, urgently reporting, "Sir, the target slipped away. The smoke and dust area is too large, and for the moment, we don't know where they've escaped to."
Something remained unsaid: the elusive black light, paired with the destructive Golden Wheel—who dares to spread out and search within the enormous dust region?
Jiang You'er looked at the approaching dust screen, muttering dazedly, "I'm not blind..."
So many experts attacked, yet they let him escape. He didn't know how to report back up the chain. Everyone said that slippery guy was hard to catch, and today he had experienced it firsthand.
After regrouping, the casualty report pained him even more: seven Earth Immortal-level experts killed, and over thirty in the Human Immortal Realm lost.
The critical point was that the perpetrator's cultivation wasn't even at the Human Immortal Realm, and it was just one person!
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared on the mountaintop as if by instant transmission, startling everyone. It was a sallow-complexioned, gray-clad man, whose appearance was utterly ordinary, like any commoner.
The newcomer gestured a secret sign, and Jiang You'er immediately returned a signal code, cursing inwardly, Are you here to pay respects to the dead?
The newcomer asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Jiang You'er held back his anger and said, "You came late; the target already ran off."
"Ran off?" the newcomer questioned in return, his eyes suddenly glowing with a bloody red light, a chilling blood-red gaze scanning the surroundings, as he coldly stated, "If he appeared here, there's no escaping. Just take me to where he last appeared."
