Hualala...
Hualala...
Outside the Spirit Burial Ground, Xue Zong's transparent tentacle had already gradually entered.
"This is going to be troublesome." Zhan Tianming thought to himself.
After all, the body that Xue Zong had seized and reborn with... It was really too big. Furthermore, after turning it into the shape of a tentacle... No one knew how far it could extend. Plus... This fellow was also a Grade Nine Demonic Beast, which meant that his strength was extremely powerful. It was not something that his group could deal with.
Among all of them, only Yun Tianyi was the strongest, but he was only a Seventh Grade Demon Beast Proficiency Level.
"Wait..."
Zhan Tianming's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Damn, I don't think I have seen Yun Tianyi since the start of the battle, right?"
"F * ck! This bastard actually ran away by himself."
There was no other way.
Zhan Tianming looked around, but he couldn't see Yun Tianyi's figure. Who knew where he had run off to?
"Everyone, retreat quickly. Xue Zong has already entered the Spirit Burial Mound." Zhan Tianming shouted.
Hearing this, the expressions of the people from the three sects changed dramatically.
Even in the face of this horde of dried corpses, they didn't reveal too much fear. However, when they heard Xue Zong's name, their faces changed.
After all, they had witnessed too many of their comrades being devoured by Xue Zong, and they had also heard the miserable cries of their comrades.
All of these were deeply imprinted in their minds.
Fear arose spontaneously.
Instantly, everyone increased the speed of retreat, but those dried corpses kept blocking everyone.
Zhan Tianming's eyes swept across the scene, then he unleashed the Nine Changes of Divine Form and his figure flashed.
Swoosh!
He appeared in a position that looked down from above.
The Divine Punisher Sword in his hand also turned into the Ice Heart Sword in that instant.
Sword Domain Qi surged explosively.
Clangclangclangclang...
A sword hum appeared in the air.
Zhan Tianming's gaze turned cold.
He thrust his sword forward.
"Freeze for a hundred miles!"
Riiiip!
The sword that was slashed out cut out a sword mark filled with frost in the void, and that sword mark extended outwards. In just an instant, it formed a large ice mountain in front of them, freezing hundreds of dried corpses.
In Zhan Tianming's mind, the system notification rang continuously.
In an instant, the number of dried corpses that the people of the three sects still needed to face had decreased by a large amount.
Jian Lingfeng, Lin Feng, and Hu Xinliang nodded to each other. Then, they increased the strength of their attacks and cleaned up the remaining dried corpses.
"All of you, retreat!" Jian Lingfeng shouted at the people from the three sects.
"Sect Leader, all of you must be careful."
The people from the three sects quickly retreated into the depths of the burial mound. Jian Lingfeng, Lin Feng, Hu Xinliang, and Zhan Tianming stayed behind to cover the retreat.
The four of them were extremely fast.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Puchi...
Sword light and saber light were everywhere. The dancing light shadow slashed out one powerful and sharp True Qi after another.
The remaining dried corpses were quickly disposed of.
The four of them did not stay long and quickly retreated.
After all, the other dried corpses had already started to circle around the ice mountain and chase after them. Moreover, behind the dried corpses, Xue Zong's tentacles had already extended into the burial mound.
Obviously, those dried corpses didn't have any reaction from the special energy bodies when they rushed in. This made Xue Zong more and more daring.
Furthermore, Xue Zong hated the Sea Race and Spirit Race.
The seal was here, and it was all done by the Sea Race and the Spirit Race.
* Hua La...... *
Hualala...
Xue Zong's body began to enter the Spirit Burial Cave in large numbers.
Crack! Crack!
Kacha kacha...
The ice mountain in front of Xue Zong was shaken by its tentacles. Cracks kept appearing on the surface of the ice mountain, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Rumble!
Rumble...
All of a sudden, the ice mountain collapsed and was absorbed by Xue Zong's huge body, causing his body to become much bigger.
"Hualala..."
A somewhat special sound of waves was heard.
Xue Zong seemed very excited.
After all, his body was water. The more water he obtained, the stronger his body would become. The strength of his body represented the increase of his health points.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to chase after Zhan Tianming and the others, he would have already headed towards the ice zone.
Right now, he absolutely wouldn't allow Zhan Tianming and the others to leave this place alive.
Because, his body was still very weak. If the people of Sea Race and Spirit Race found out about this, they would definitely gather a large group of experts to come to seal.
This was something he absolutely wouldn't allow.
Therefore, Zhan Tianming and the others had to die. They had to become nourishment for his recovery.
"Roar..."
A low roar that was as heavy as thunder came out from Xue Zong's mouth.
Those dried corpses became even crazier.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Every dried corpse was crazily roaring and running towards the direction where Zhan Tianming and the others were retreating towards.
Wherever Xue Zong's huge body passed, those rugged rocks did not pass through his body. Instead, they were crushed into pieces and collapsed with a loud bang.
He didn't want to be contaminated by the Qi of those strange rocks.
Those auras made him very uncomfortable.
This scene was seen by Zhan Tianming's Ratchet Eye. However, Zhan Tianming only felt that it was a bit strange.
After all, Xue Zong's body was a Blue Lake Beast, and it could allow those strange stones to pass through his body without any problems. Why did he have to make them fall?
He couldn't figure it out!
At this moment, Jian Lingfeng's voice interrupted Zhan Tianming's thoughts.
"Master Zhenguo, the disciple who asked around ahead is dead. I estimate that there will be great danger after entering the Spirit Burying Ridge."
Jian Lingfeng held a broken life token in his hand. It was a life token that was made temporarily. It belonged to one of the disciples who was investigating the situation in the depths of the Spirit Burying Ridge.
And now, the life token was broken, which meant that the person was already dead.
Zhan Tianming was startled.
Could it be that there was still the remnants of energy that Yun Tianyi mentioned in the depths of the Spirit Burying Ridge?
"Sword Sect Leader, do you think we still have a choice?" Zhan Tianming replied.
Jian Lingfeng remained silent.
Indeed, there was no other choice.
If they stayed, no one would be a match for Xue Zong, only death awaited them.
If they went in, there might be a chance for them to survive.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Jian Lingfeng didn't say anything else. He maintained a distance that was slightly behind the disciples of the three sects and prepared to cover the retreat at any time.
His eyes also revealed a hint of determination.1
"No matter what, I have to protect the lives of these disciples. They have done enough for the Seven Peaks Sect. If it wasn't for my decision... They won't even enter this arcane realm. And now... Many disciples and elders have already died in front of me. I can't watch them die in front of me anymore."
"I will use my life as a wall to buy you some time!"
