A Helping Hand

A disciple looked flustered. From the looks of it, he was so frightened by the White Lion King that his legs went limp.

However, he could not be blamed for this. After all, this White Lion King was really very powerful. As long as one was an immortal cultivator, they would know that if they encountered the White Lion King, they had to avoid it from a mile away. Otherwise, if they were seen, the White Lion King would definitely fight them.

Even ordinary people would have to take a detour when they saw a simple demon beast, let alone this White Lion King. Moreover, their ability was completely insufficient.

"Don't panic. All of you, hide behind me. Let me set up a barrier to block this White Lion King. When that White Lion King attacks, find a time to leave this place. But don't run around, understand?"

Ma Xuan's expression also became solemn. She held a Dharma treasure in her hand and was prepared to cast a spell to set up an array. Actually, she was also panicking internally.

If she were to hold on, she would be able to do so for a few seconds, but it would definitely not be enough for them to escape. Even if they escaped, they could still be caught up by this White Lion King.

"There's no choice. In this current situation, we can only brace ourselves!"

At the thought of this, Ma Xuan gritted her teeth. Her heart was very heavy. She already had the mentality of fighting with her back against the wall and charged forward with the Dharma treasure in her hand.

She had to stall for 7.5 minutes. As long as it was that duration, they would have a chance to survive! As long as she let these disciples leave this place, it would be enough. She… did not care anymore!

Ma Xuan's figure was seen approaching the White Lion King bit by bit. Then, the two of them began to compete. The White Lion King swung its claws. This power was really too great.

Even though Ma Xuan had a protective shield on her body, cracks appeared on it. When the next attack came, the protective shield on Ma Xuan's body had already shattered, and she was thrown dozens of meters away.

"Elder Ma! No, we must help Elder Ma!"

"Don't mess around. Elder Ma went alone because she wanted to protect us. If we go up and die, won't we be letting Elder Ma down?"

"But we can't escape now, can we? Think of something!"

When the disciples of the Rampant Sect saw this scene, they were all very afraid. Even Ma Xuan, who was at the Illuminant Stage, could not do anything, let alone them who were at the Qi Refinement Stage.

"Ah!" Ma Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood. After she fell, she used the sword in her hand to support her body.

In just half a round, she was already at her limit. Ma Xuan could already feel that the meridians in her body had already shattered. At this moment, she could not continue fighting at all.

"This won't do. If this continues, all the disciples will be in danger…" Ma Xuan frowned, her entire body trembling. Hence, she hurriedly circulated her cultivation to protect the spiritual energy around her, preventing it from spreading.

However, she was already so injured that she did not have the strength to circulate her energy.

However, the third-stage demon beast, the White Lion King, was not a graceful young master and would of course not have mercy on the fairer sex. In front of it, a cultivator in the Illuminant stage was very nutritious food. As long as it ate this cultivator, it would definitely advance to become a fourth-stage demon beast!

Seeing the White Lion King rushing towards her, Ma Xuan closed her eyes and thought that she probably had no hope left.

Ma Xuan seemed to have given up. It was fine if she was powerless to reverse the situation, but what about those disciples?

She closed her eyes and waited for herself to disappear from the world. But after waiting for a long time, she didn't seem to feel any pain.

However, the White Lion King was not so lucky. When it rushed over, it seemed to have hit something that blocked its path. This huge energy fluctuation shook the ground for a few miles. Once, twice and thrice, the earth shook.

Ma Xuan opened her eyes, wanting to know what was going on. Suddenly, she felt a very powerful force in front of her.

This feeling was like a trace of survival in a desperate battle.

"Could it be that I survived?" Ma Xuan felt that the situation was very strange, but soon, among the flying dust, she seemed to see a man wearing the same sect uniform standing in front of her.

This man was only holding the Zhu Yan Sword in his hand to block the White Lion King's impact. He even seemed to be at ease because he turned back to smile at her as he blocked it.

"How is it? Senior Sister, are your injuries serious?"

When she saw the person in front of her, Ma Xuan was shocked. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. "Why is it you! You can actually… No…"

This Xu Tian could actually fight the White Lion King to a draw. It was really unbelievable. This White Lion King was a third-stage demon beast that was preparing to advance immediately. Even if their sect master appeared here, it might not be so easy.

However, Xu Tian had done it. He had even easily blocked this White Lion King and made it stop moving!?

"Senior Sister, if you still have the strength, protect the remaining disciples. Let me handle this." Xu Tian even winked at Ma Xuan. Then, he turned his head and spun the Zhuyan Sword in his hand, pushing it dozens of meters away.

However, Ma Xuan was still worried. "Junior Brother Xu Tian, you have to be careful. This is a third-stage demon beast. According to your current situation, you have to…"

However, before she could finish speaking, Ma Xuan already felt that something was wrong! Wasn't Xu Tian in the Nascent Breath Stage previously? Why did he suddenly get to the Illuminant Stage? Moreover, even if he was in the Illuminant Stage, he was at the same level as her.

It was really astonishing! Both of them were at the Illuminant Stage, but Xu Tian's ability was still so shocking. Although Ma Xuan knew that Xu Tian was very talented, she had never seen Xu Tian use any skills before.

Now that she had seen it, Ma Xuan was dumbfounded, and that was the only valid reaction. This man was really like a monster!

Perhaps the White Lion King saw that its 'food' had been saved, and was very unhappy.
