Emei disciples, with their powerful magical treasures and overwhelming numbers, joined in to help Shi Feiyang fight against Lie Baduo and his disciples.
Long-Armed Divine Demon Zheng Yuan Gui was the first to be overcome, even his Golden Spirit Arm was hacked by flying swords, losing particles and two fingers, left with no choice but to curse and flee throughout the sky.
Lie Baduo, however, was much more fearsome than them. First came the Seven Evil Black Spirit God Sword, turning into seven streaks of black light, each intercepting seven Emei disciples.
Golden Cicada and the laughing Monk, confident in the might of their flying swords, were able to hold their ground even though their effort was not as profound as their adversary's.
What they didn't realize was the mysterious skill of Lie Baduo; with centuries spent on that sword, its speed of operation was lightning-fast, sinister, and ruthless. In an instant, thousands of sword shadows were drawn in the air, and their flying swords couldn't keep up.
First, Golden Cicada felt a numbness in his shoulder, realized he had been slashed twice. In his rush to retreat, his knee was slashed once more.
The others also couldn't keep up with the defenses, relying only on their superior Mysterious Sect swordsmanship and fierce flying swords to forcefully protect their vital points, but still suffered multiple cuts across their bodies. Only the laughing Monk, with his higher effort and the Protective Dharma Treasure taken from Pan Luo's Immortal Mansion, blocked three slashes unharmed.
The Seven Evil Black Spirit God Sword contained a deadly poison. Golden Cicada and the other four wanted to continue fighting but were soon struck by poison, feeling as if the earth and sky were spinning, dizzy and disoriented.
Lie Baduo was about to finish them off when Shi Feiyang quickly reacted, firing six Five Fire Divine Thunders, forcing Lie Baduo to cast a spell to save himself.
The Emei Sect's disciples could die, but not in front of Shi Feiyang; he had to appear ready to sacrifice everything to protect the disciples of Emei.
Lie Baduo's Dragon Locusts were even more fearsome; too numerous to count, with numbers in the millions. In roughly the time it takes to finish a meal, they could devour every flying and hiding creature and plant on Emei Mountain. They were even capable of burrowing into the belly of Emei Mountain.
The most sinister part was that these creatures, when hacked by flying swords, died in droves, or were blown up by Divine Thunder into clusters.
But they would not perish; as their golden yellow powder reformed, Lie Baduo could cast his spell from afar, send his True Qi, and instantly, the specks of powder dust would regenerate into more Dragon Locusts like eggs hatching, seemingly endless no matter how many were killed—more arose from their eradication!
The mists of blood they spat carried intense poison, swirling chaotically in the air, spraying and shrieking wildly, as if it were the end of the world!
Without the ability to go all out due to his standing as Yue Yun, Shi Feiyang could only manage the locusts for a moment. He wielded the Golden and Jade Divine Blade and the Five Fire Divine Thunder through the sea of locusts, continuously churning them into powder and blasting them to ash, yet with a breath and a wave from Lie Baduo, they were revived and restored!
Among the younger generation of the Emei Sect, not many could withstand the Seven Evil Black Spirit God Sword and the Dragon Locusts. Even the laughing Monk could only stand by, temporarily invisible, and retreat thanks to the Invisible Sword.
After fighting for half the day, Shi Feiyang suddenly abandoned Lie Baduo and turned to attack Huo Luqi. With the Shaqing Divine Skill and Golden and Jade Divine Blade, he took Huo Luqi by surprise. Numerous Golden Light Blades interlocked above and below, "biting" and grinding in swift rotation, shredding Huo Luqi to pieces in an instant.
With the death of Huo Luqi, nearly half of the pervasive fire Qi dispersed, and the pressure on everyone lessened substantially.
Shi Feiyang loudly gave orders, instructing Qi Lingyun, Zhou Qingyun, Li Yingqiong, Yu Yingnan, Yan Renying, and others in possession of fine swords to join forces against Lie Baduo. "Wait for me to slay these two fire monsters first, then we'll come together to deal with that poison creature!"
As the senior, and having just slain Huo Luqi, all disciples naturally heeded his commands. Those whose names were called went forth to engage Lie Baduo in combat, following his instructions to link their sword light and treasure light together, holding off the unpredictable Seven Evil Black Spirit God Sword and the omnipresent Dragon Emperor. They then cast all their magical treasures at once.
"Purple Ying Sword, Green Rope Sword, Seven Cultivation Swords, Galaxy Sword... These guys were using the very top Immortal Swords of the present world, plus all kinds of Flying Needles, flying knives, flying arrows, and other Magical Treasures, and they actually managed to hold off Lie Baduo's fearsome offensive."
During this time, Shi Feiyang took advantage of the moment, using the Shaqing Immortal Skill to create several figures of himself, attacking the Huo brothers from all directions, with the remaining Emei Sect Disciples coordinating. The Huo brothers couldn't hold on and released their Defensive Magical Treasures, setting up a Fire Formation and stubbornly bunkering down.
Shi Feiyang transmitted a message to Zhuge Jingwo and Yue Wen, instructing them to attack from behind while he continued to attack fiercely from the front, "Rotate from Gui Mei to Da You, draw Kan Palace's water Qi to break their fire gate!"
His vision was incredibly sharp, having long identified the weakness in the Fire brothers' Array, guiding the two to circumvent and break the formation from behind. He struck suddenly, cutting down Huo Xiuluo with Invisible Sword Energy!
The remaining Huo Wuliang, both terrified and enraged, merged into a volcano, forcefully breaking through the encirclement to join up with Lie Baduo.
Shi Feiyang led the young generation of Emei Sect disciples to charge forward, "Everyone stay calm, follow my orders!"
He called out names, one by one, assigning tasks. He distributed each assignment perfectly, enabling them to showcase their strengths and avoid weaknesses, allowing them to maximize the advantages of their Flying Sword Magical Treasures. Any lack of effort and experience was mitigated by mutual support.
These elite Emei disciples were all incredibly bright and sharp-witted, grasping instructions instantly. Once in position, they cooperated seamlessly. Although not in an Array, they exhibited the advantages of one, combining their strength and rushing forward with shouts.
Lie Baduo couldn't resist any longer with his Seven Evil Black Spirit God Sword, and neither could the Dragon Locust and Poison Mist stop their assault. Streaks of green, purple, white, and golden Sword Light flashed and flew, piercing through his Dragon Locust and Poison Mist, and firmly targeting him, forcing him to turn his blade in defense.
Moreover, Huo Wuliang and Zheng Yuan Gui, who were hiding behind Lie Baduo and casting, were repeatedly thwarted by Shi Feiyang.
The Emei Sect Disciples were not only formidable with their flying swords but their Magical Treasures were even more powerful; Wan Zhen had the Bing Yi Needle, Wu Wenqi had the Evil Slayer Sword, Zhu Wen had the Ruyi Divine Spear, Lai Gu had the Dragon Slayer Saber, Shen Tuhong had the Demon Suppression Golden Ring, Yi Ding had the Fire Dragon Hairpin, Yi Zhen had the Gold-Breaking Block... The girls had a plethora of treasures from the Illusion Wave Pool, and there was even the Qiantian One Thunderbolt, a kind of Thunder Pearl.
After a barrage, Lie Baduo and his two were forced into constant retreat. Taking advantage of an opening, Ziling released the Bai Mei Needle, hitting Lie Baduo in the leg. He immediately felt three Flying Needles piercing straight to his heart along his blood vessels, realizing they belonged to Lady Bao Xiang, and cursing the cunning fox in his heart.
The three of them were pressed and beat back a hundred miles, realizing today's fight was fruitless.
Lie Baduo let out a long howl, gathering the toxic miasma around the trio and turning to flee towards Bai Man Mountain, shooting away like a comet.
The Emei Sect Disciples had won the victory and cheered in unison, ready to head back home.
Shi Feiyang raised his arm to transmit his voice, "The Demon Humans are malevolent and have wounded many of our Disciples. This vendetta must not go unanswered. Who is willing to follow me to slay the monster, to rid the Human World of this great menace?"
With morale high among the Emei Disciples, after hearing his words, who would admit to being fearful, unwilling to rid the Human World of this scourge? Consequently, all responded enthusiastically, even cautious ones like Zhuge Jingwo, Qi Lingyun, and Yue Wen were willing to accompany their Uncle-Master to slay monsters and demons. None detected anything amiss.
Shi Feiyang said, "Excellent! Fellow Emei heroes, follow me to Bai Man Mountain to slay monsters and cleanse the Demon Cave!"
Having said that, he took the lead with Sword Control, the throng of Disciples each striving to be first, none willing to be left behind, all riding the Sword Light towards Southern Heaven, a sight most splendid.
