The Story of the Swordsman

Heaven Suppressing Formation

Booms!

Huo Yan's Sacred Fire Domain continued to clash with the barrier. Compared to the Qi Ximing Storm Domain, Huo Yan's Sacred Fire Domain was fiercer and faster.

"How many victims?" Yun Qianxue asked.

One of the disciples stepped forward with a heavy expression. "Reporting to the Sect Master. We have lost a hundred and seventy-six sisters."

Some of the young girls in the group started crying when they heard this report. No matter how strong they were, they would not be able to suppress emotions when they saw the person closest to them die in front of them. However, they were not to blame as this was the first time they had experienced an actual war.

Yun Qianxue was no exception, but her emotional control ability was much stronger. When he recruited them to the sect, he wanted to give them warmth and a place to stay. Now, 176 of his students have died. How could he not feel anything?

He turned to Yun Ruanyu and said, "I want to start the next plan."

Yun Ruanyu understood Yun Qianxue's mood, and she did not plan to stop him. He nodded his head and looked at everyone. "Everyone below the Earth Realm level should retreat to the main hall, and the rest will follow us."

"We refuse to back down! Please give us permission, First Hall Master!" All the disciples below the Earth Realm level said in unison.

Yun Ruanyu's eyes turned cold, and her aura immediately enveloped them. He said, "This is not the time to be brave. I know everyone wants to avenge your fellow sisters, but you are all too weak! You will be a burden to us. Back off!"

The girls gritted their teeth, endured the pressure, and stubbornly looked at Yun Ruanyu. They still refused to retreat because they were overwhelmed by a strong thirst for revenge.

Yun Qingrou stepped forward to calm down, "Make this task to us." Seeing some of them wanting to say something, Yun Qingrou said further, "Didn't you guys believe us?"

All the stubborn girls hurriedly shook their heads and obediently retreated to the main hall.

Booms! Booms!

Huo Yan increased his attack power even further, and the barrier was now shaking violently as if it was about to break apart.

Yun Qianxue turned to look at the trembling barrier and moved her hand slightly. The barrier suddenly opened, and its figure shot into the air at lightning speed.

Yun Qianxue floated in the air, she raised the divine sword and released the form of the Ice Phoenix towards Huo Yan.

"Little trick." Huo Yan sneered. He had already seen this move before when Yun Qianxue used it to fight against Qi Ximing. Therefore, he was confident to deal with it.

The Ice Phoenix flapped its wings, flying towards Huo Yan. Huo Yan's Sacred Fire Domain was slightly affected by his ice aura, but the domain did not shrink like Qi Ximing's.

Huo Yan exerted over seventy percent of his strength to increase the strength of his domain and control it to attack the incoming Ice Phoenix.

Booms!

Ice and fire aura clashed against each other. Yun Qianxue took this opportunity to launch a long-range attack at Huo Yan by sending out a deep blue beam, but it caught fire before arriving at the target.

"Let me help, ancestor!" Luka Huo Han had already stopped. He flew towards Yun Qianxue and sent a few strikes of fire palms at her.

Yun Qianxue skillfully avoided it and used the Misty Cloud Steps to arrive in front of Huo Han. He swung the divine sword forcefully.

Desing!

Huo Han used his sword to fend off, but his sword instantly shattered.

"Go from there!" Ji Muchhen shouted at Huo Han as she condensed sword intent using an ordinary Heaven rank sword. He moved his sword, and the countless sword intents behind him swarmed Yun Qianxue.

Suddenly there came a beautiful melody that held back Ji Muchhen's sword intent. Ji Muchhen was frustrated as she looked at Yun Ruanyu, who was sitting on the ground playing a white Guqin.

"Stop him!" Huo Han shouted at the few Elders nearby, and they immediately rushed towards Yun Ruanyu. However, they were intercepted by the twelve Elders and Yun Qingrou.

Ji Muchhen quickly ordered her subordinates to join the battle.

"Where are Yun Meilan and Yun Lingwei?" Ji Muchhen looked around and realized that the two of them did not exist.

"Don't say ...." Huo Han exclaimed and quickly used the transmission jade to contact his disciples living in his sect. In the next moment, his face became agitated when he could not contact any of them.

Ji Muchhen saw this. His expression also changed drastically and he hurriedly contacted one of his subordinates.

"We've been deceived! Everyone, retreat!" Ji Muchhen bellowed furiously and began to flee, but Yun Ruanyu appeared before him in an instant.

"Where are you going, Sect Master Ji?" Yun Ruanyu said with a thin smile that looked as if she was mocking him.

"God!" Ji Muchhen did not hesitate to swing her sword, but Yun Ruanyu simply held it back with her Guqin.

Yun Ruanyu pushed Guqin to Ji Muchhen and forced her to retreat further and further until she almost reached the barrier of the Sect Protection Formation.

Huo Han had a different thought from Ji Muchhen. Since there was no point in returning to the sect right now, he better continue fighting here.

A powerful aura shot out from Huo Han's body. His figure disappeared and reappeared behind one of the twelve Elders.

"Revelation!" Yun Qingrou shouted and shot an arrow at Huo Han, but it was too late because Huo Han managed to punch the back of one of the elders, causing him to cough up blood and fall to the ground violently.

Yun Qianxue who saw this scene was preparing to come to Huo Han, but suddenly, she heard the Ice Phoenix cry out in pain.

At this moment, Huo Yan had unleashed his strength to the maximum. His fire power instantly increased and burned the Ice Phoenix.

"No!" Yun Qianxue exclaimed reluctantly as she watched the Ice Phoenix begin to fade. He pointed the divine sword at Huo Yan, sending some ice swords at him.

"Hmmm!" Huo Yan snorted, a fire aura suddenly exploded and quickly melted Yun Qianxue's ice sword into steam

Seeing that the Ice Phoenix could not hold on any longer, Yun Qianxue firmly told everyone to retreat.

"Wind it back !?" Huo Yan spoke coldly, and his Sacred Fire Domain erupted with a loud boom.

Booms!

Yun Qianxue and the others were instantly startled by the explosion and were thrown to the ground one by one.

Huo Yan carried out another attack on the barrier and managed to create a permanent hole within it.

"Haha! Everybody, go!" Huo Han laughed wildly and rushed into the barrier with his subordinates.

Huo Yan retracted his domain from expending too much energy and slowly followed everyone to the barrier.

Yun Qianxue stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

When he saw Huo Yan and the others passing through the barrier to the sect territory. A cold smile appeared on his lips and he said calmly, "Open!"

A golden light suddenly enveloped the entire sect and Huo Han's group felt an overwhelming pressure coming at them.

"What's this!?" Huo Han exclaimed in shock. He felt his strength suddenly disappear from his body. At this moment, his strength decreased to the tenth level of the Earth Realm.

Ji Muchhen was no exception. He was frightened when he realized this and hurriedly turned to escape.

"Damn!" Ji Muchhen said loudly when she knew she could not come out anymore because she had no way to break the golden light barrier.

Huo Yan frowned slightly. He lived for thousands of years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange formation. He felt his strength had been reduced to the third level of the Ruler Realm.

"Kill it!" Yun Qianxue said loudly.

Everyone including the disciples of the Earth Realm, attacked Huo Han and the others with all their might.
