Having guessed that the person holding the banner was Shi Chun, he became more convinced that the person Shi Chun was desperately trying to rescue was Li Hongjiu.
When someone warned him about how formidable Li Hongjiu was, they also mentioned Shi Chun's rescue of Li Hongjiu. Was this happening again?
For this reason, he grew suspicious. How could Shi Chun, who was part of the Heavenly Court Team, be causing trouble over in East Victory? According to the secret information he previously received, there should have been someone from Wei Mo's side pursuing Shi Chun.
Not only Wei Mo, but also the Nanshan Team and the Beiju Team had sent people to hunt down Shi Chun.
He only realized later through a covert message from above that the squad initially being pursued consisted of masked individuals from Shi Chun's group.
The higher-ups seemed quite concerned about this Shi Chun, requesting timely reports on his activities. When he asked if special attention was needed, they said no special attention was necessary; he could kill if needed and do as he saw fit, indifferent to life or death, and focus on his own duties.
In the scene, fierce combat erupted almost instantly; the West Ox Team ordered their comrades to strike, the East Victory Team issued orders to attack, the Beiju Team commanded their allies forward, and the Heavenly Court Team gave the order to crush the West Ox and Beiju forces.
Fortunately, the shoulder pads, arm guards, and leg bands of each team's battle armor were different in color. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to distinguish the sides in the melee of similar armor styles.
Shi Chun paid no mind to the sudden uproar behind him, continuing his wild charge forward, followed by his comrades.
A master from the West Ox who blocked the way had a stern face, throwing a punch like thunder, causing the void to twist.
"Ah!" Dou Jingshan, who got in front of Shi Chun's group later but struck first, shouted angrily, whipping out his power.
With a thunderous blast that shook heaven and earth, he shattered the mighty attack again, and the ensuing Gang Wind blew Shi Chun and his group back into the air, as if they were being swept backward despite their forward flight.
Tong Mingshan, An Wuzhi, and Zhu Xiangxin, who arrived behind, quickly intervened, using their higher cultivation to suppress and help Shi Chun's group stop their retreat.
This scene left not only Zhu Xiangxin and An Wuzhi but also Tong Mingshan in disbelief. Unable to withstand even the aftershocks of the battle, they wondered where the Master got the courage to lead the charge.
The West Ox master standing directly ahead pressed both palms together, leaving only their index fingers touching like a spire. Shi Chun's Right Eye Superpower allowed him to see streams of light bursting from their body, projected into the air above.
Once they reached the sky, the streams of light blossomed like fireworks, causing the illusory background of the Right Eye Superpower world to fall open like sand falling through a broken hourglass, unleashing a torrent of aura manifesting as colossal beast footsteps.
Under the direction of the spellcaster's spire-like fingertip, gigantic phantom footprints thundered down, layer upon layer, a hundred crashes in an instant, indiscriminately smashing down on all below, regardless of which side the forces belonged to.
Even Dou Jingshan's face changed dramatically at the sight, sweeping his whip upward and striking with his palm, but he still couldn't focus on anything else. Amidst the thunderous booms, he fought while retreating, unable to afford a head-on clash and seeking temporary shelter for self-preservation.
The attacks were too dense to avoid.
Seeing Dou Jingshan forced to back down, Shi Chun's group was fully exposed to the chaotic bombardment, causing Manxi, Mulan Jin, Ming Chaofeng, and Wei Mo in front of the mirror image to change their expressions.
Wei Mo, in particular, did not expect Dou Jingshan to abandon Shi Chun's group and dodge the attack. Though it was a forced decision, it still left him scowling instantly.
Not just them, Wu Jinliang and others who looked up were also panicked, yet they saw Shi Chun at the front suddenly emit a beam of white light.
Shi Chun's face remained stern, unfaltering despite the setbacks in their charge. He continued casting his spells with a shout, "Charge!"
It wasn't just an empty shout; he led the charge again, steering his finger like a sword. The mirror rotating at his fingertip suddenly expanded into a large plate as big as a house in the sky, radiating the resplendent brilliance of the Ice Soul, chilling the air, and making a striking presence in this section of the heavens and earth.
With a flick of his fingertip, the radiant Ice Soul shot into the sky, as the group following him looked up, mostly unaware of what it was.
Amidst the deafening boom of densely packed sounds, the radiant Ice Soul light in mid-air trembled continuously, wavering yet steadfastly bearing the rampant, intense attacks.
The five Commanders in front of the mirror all showed mixed reactions, some pleased, some worried. Niu Qian squinted again and muttered, "Ice Owl's Cold Moon Shield."
He knew of this item; though not surpassing the fifth-grade magical treasure, its contained power was at the top tier within the fifth-grade, enough to withstand the prowess equivalent to someone in the Great Achievement Realm of an Earth Immortal.
The artifact spirit of this treasure is an Ice Spirit, forged by an Ice Spirit with cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, making it extremely rare and cherished by the Ice Owl.
He knew the Ice Owl died at the hands of Li Hongjiu, but he didn't expect this magical treasure ended up with Shi Chun. With such camaraderie, no wonder Shi Chun would risk everything to save Li Hongjiu.
Amid the trembling brilliance of the Ice Soul, one could see beast-shaped footprints falling, pounding those below with overwhelming force akin to towering mountains, indiscriminately bombarding, eliciting wails as the ground shook, mountains crumbled, and turbulent energies swept like torrents, unable to stop the figures flying from the dust behind.
Many green, oily sword shadows knocked down were also summoned back by Lao Changtai, surging once more from the swirling dust and smoke.
Just as Shi Chun had shouted, despite minor setbacks, he continued charging forward, refusing to pause as he maneuvered the brilliant Ice Soul through the heavens above.
The Boundless Banner in his hand occasionally fended off sporadic attacks; in the urgency of the charge, both hands were employed, unable to wield any other magical artifacts simultaneously.
The group charging with him had no choice but to continue forward, grateful to be shielded, seeing that anyone lingering outside the brilliant Ice Soul plate, just a step slower, risked getting hit by the indiscriminate bombardment above.
Old Chai, feeling like he was amidst a raging storm, tightly gripped the small knife in his hand, looking around in panic. He had never seen such a grand scene in his life, his scalp numb, seeing that the Master could withstand it, he dared not leave, desperately following the Master forward.
On the ground, the West Ox Team and Beiju Team had already received the upper orders and began to awaken, rushing forward in droves.
The Heavenly Court Team and East Victory Team rushed to intercept, but many of West Ox and Beiju members simply avoided battle and charged out, their primary target being Shi Chun's group.
Moreover, the West Ox people, who were first dispatched, charged in from the left and right, forming an encirclement in an instant as a thousand men charged from all directions.
"Go!" Lao Changtai shouted, and thousands of emerald green Sword Rain spun like dragons, crashing into the approaching enemies.
Those who broke through the Sword Rain were quickly repelled by An Wuzhi and the others.
In the air, the beast shadows stopped attacking when they couldn't break the target's defense. Shi Chun also shrank the Ice Soul Round Plate in his hand, glanced around, saw they were about to be entangled, and shouted, "Tong Mingshan, An Wuzhi, Zhu Xiangxin, if not striving for full power now, then when!"
The three experts of the Mingshan Sect didn't actually know their strength, they were helpless, but who called them members of the Mingshan Sect?
Since its establishment, Mingshan Sect, offended people, has been very low-key, hiding most of the time. Later, the Master committed such a big crime, causing them to be captured too, making them even less daring to be high-profile, seeking solace under Young Master Nan's protection. And Young Master Nan, for Shi Chun's sake, didn't ask them to do anything, much less fight and kill.
They haven't truly fought external experts, always cultivating discreetly, genuinely unaware of their depth.
At this time, being named and forced to this extent, they immediately operated their cultivation techniques.
An Wuzhi glanced at the attacking figures coming to encircle them, quickly deploying a move to counter the group attack. His hands formed virtual embraces, quickly pinching magic decisions, and his mana fled into the darkness.
Suddenly, the battlefield atmosphere changed instantly, as countless cracks bizarrely appeared all over the battlefield.
It wasn't cracks; it was reddish like magma things flowing out of thin air, seeming like cracks from afar, very strange, with each side alert to the surroundings while fighting.
Others didn't know the reason; Tong Mingshan and Zhu Xiangxin quickly looked at An Wuzhi, knowing An Wuzhi's cultivation of "Ten Thousand Burning Technique" had activated.
"Ten Thousand Flames Burn the Sky…" lightly whispered An Wuzhi, his arms crossed and embraced then forcefully opened, his body emitting void flames.
Seeing Shi Chun's group charging forward, Dou Jingshan, who had avoided earlier, was anxious but was again entangled by a few people. As he struggled to break free, suddenly a blaze flared in front of him, and the countless void rift magma suddenly exploded, turning into a vast, glaring sea of fire.
All within a very large range, regardless of friend or foe, were instantaneously immersed in a vast, scorching red sea of fire, with extremely high temperatures, seemingly attempting to refine all beings, forcing the combatants to fight while casting spells to resist the high temperatures, forcibly cooling the intensity of the battlefield within the fire sea.
Only Shi Chun's group was isolated from the flames.
Gazing at the mirror image, all five central members were bewildered and stunned, for within the mirror image of the Heavenly Mirror, apart from the erupting scarlet fire sea, nothing could be seen, they were unclear why it suddenly became like this, even unaware of who made a move.
Each side quickly expanded the mirror image coverage area, later seeing the range covered by the fire sea, all shocked.
An Wuzhi, who was casting spells, suddenly trembled with urgency in his eyebrows and eyes, rapidly shouted, "Here it comes, be careful!"
Simultaneously, a series of clashing sounds came from the sides, several emerald green flying swords were knocked back, a huge sinister head suddenly shot out from the fire sea, that giant Demon Rider charged forward.
Unafraid of the flames, it fiercely charged at them.
Shi Chun was about to wield the Cold Moon Shield to block, when a faster figure stood in front, it was none other than Tong Mingshan.
A swallowing black light, like a long sword, suddenly burst forth from Tong Mingshan's palm, thrusting into the gaping sinister mouth of the charging Demon Rider.
At once, the eyes of the charging Demon Rider widened suddenly, its body stiffened, losing momentum, colliding with Tong Mingshan's palm, halted with a boom.
The scene looked as if Tong Mingshan had pressed the giant mouth of the Demon Rider, stopping it in its tracks.
Crackling, the Demon Rider's eyes exploded, similarly flowing out lava-like liquid, its huge mouth also drooling molten liquid, the dripped magma fumed like fly-ash smoke, instantly dissipating into fly-ash before reaching the ground.
The Cold Moon Shield in Shi Chun's hand suddenly flashed and sprang out, booming, blocking with a loud bang, their charging momentum stunted again.
Using the flame cover and the Demon Rider's impact, the West Ox blocking expert broke through the fire sea and advanced with a surprise attack, a huge hammer violently smashed down, yet it lost its stealth meaning under Shi Chun's Right Eye Superpower, still getting blocked.
The expert outside the Cold Moon Shield turned his head to look at Tong Mingshan, as if he saw a ghost, watching Tong Mingshan pressing down on that Demon Rider, motionless like a stone carving.
The Demon Rider being motionless would be the least of it, yet it was rapidly disintegrating into fly-ash, he even thought he was seeing things, blinking to confirm, realizing he wasn't wrong, it was indeed disintegrating into fly-ash.
He was instantly horrified, unsure of what this seemingly disguised individual was, for this monstrous beast's body's hardness could be said to be invulnerable, even his fully-powered strike couldn't easily injure, such a solid Demon Rider yet in the hands of this man disintegrated rapidly into fly-ash…
