In despair

"Chi--"

Due to the close distance and my full charge, the attack I launched was not able to be avoided by Elder Zhiguang.

"Golden Mountain Break!" Facing my attack, Elder Zhiguang shouted coldly and his arms crossed in front of him, summoning a shining golden mountain range that blocked my sword blade.

"Chi--sisi--" Although it was not physical, the golden light was extremely hard and managed to block all of my attacks.

"It's impossible!" Holding both Four Beasts Divine Sword and Liuyuan Immortal Soldier, I gritted my teeth and continued charging forward. Even though the Golden Mountain was incredibly tough, I didn't believe it could withstand my attacks.

"Flea shaking tree!" Elder Zhiguang sneered at me as he tried to stop me with all his might.

"Swoosh--" However, just as he was blocking me with all his strength, Jietou and Fengyunsanren's joint attack arrived suddenly in a flash of light.

"You're dead now!" Fengyunsanren swung his red long knife in an arc while Jietou's golden wheel flew like lightning towards Elder Zhiguang.

"Ding--" Both weapons hit their target without any obstruction but made a clear dragon roar sound instead. However, they couldn't even scratch him at all!

"Hehehe...I've been practicing for over two thousand years already; how can you guys hurt me? You ants are too naive if you think so! Give them to me; only I am worthy enough to become a god with these divine swords." Laughing out loud arrogantly while exerting force on both hands trying to take away Four Beasts Divine Sword and Liuyuan Immortal Soldier from us despite being sacred weapons themselves.

Seeing this situation unfold before our eyes caused our hearts sank immediately. But then anger took over as we saw Elder Zhiguang's intentions. I couldn't help but roar in anger as the Secret Technique of Lingtai was activated, and a surge of chaotic energy poured into Liuyuan Immortal Soldier. Suddenly, a dazzling flame burst out from it, causing the sword to grow hundreds of times larger than before with blazing sharp edges that not only broke free from Elder Zhiguang's grip but also pierced towards him.

"Not bad! I didn't expect you still had some power left. But too bad; your Qi is unstable and weak. With just this little bit of ability, you can never hurt me." Elder Zhiguang retreated while laughing coldly at us and then slowly drew out a short knife from his sleeve while looking at us disdainfully. "I'm not in the mood to play with you guys anymore; now it's time for each one of you to meet your end."

"You wish!" Seeing Elder Zhiguang's actions, my eyebrows furrowed as I knew he was going to use his speed advantage against us. Without waiting for him to act first, I shouted loudly and charged forward using Bishi Ding while Liuyuan Immortal Soldier followed closely behind.

"Hehehe...Don't worry Liu Yiheng; soon you will taste the pain of losing a friend because of what you did wrong! You shouldn't have resisted me or been so stubborn!" As he spoke these words, Elder Zhiguang flashed past Jietou suddenly appearing behind him where he stabbed directly towards Jietou's back with his short knife.

The difference in strength was too great between them making it impossible for Jietou to react at all when facing such an attack by Elder Zhiguang who moved much faster than anyone else present there. He could only stand there staring blankly as the tip of the blade penetrated through his chest before convulsing uncontrollably trying desperately to turn around and look back but ultimately failed, falling to the ground lifelessly.

"Jietou!" Seeing all of this happen before my eyes, I exploded with anger. In a fit of rage, I charged towards Elder Zhiguang without any regard for my own safety.

"Heh, come on! If you can catch up with me, I'll let you hit me!" The Light Elder laughed loudly, his figure flashing and instantly escaping. He then appeared behind Fengyunsanren like a ghost and stabbed him with a knife.

"Flash Step!" Fengyunsanren sensed the danger and shouted coldly. His figure disappeared in an instant and reappeared ten meters away.

"Not bad, even though you've only experienced three Heavenly Tribulations at your level, you've learned Flash Step. It seems that I underestimated you," said the Light Elder as he saw Fengyunsanren dodge his attack.

"Hmph! You think everyone is like you? Hiding in the mountains to avoid Heavenly Tribulations? Let me tell you something: I have personally experienced three Heavenly Tribulations. My power is naturally more stable and stronger than those of you abnormal monsters born from strange powers!" Fengyunsanren looked at the Light Elder and smiled.

"You're just slightly stronger than people of the same level as you are. But in front of me, you're still far from enough. If you don't believe it, try my three moves. I guarantee that you will regret your arrogance!" As soon as the Light Elder finished speaking, he rushed towards Fengyunsanren again.

While they were fighting each other, I came to JIETOU's side to check on his injuries. JIETOU was seriously injured - very serious - and may not survive; although the sword did not pierce his heart when it went through his body but it was still deadly enough.

I didn't feel like continuing this fight anymore so I threw down Four Symbols Sword onto the ground before using Mercy Sword to heal JIETOU's wounds.

At this point JIETOU had already passed out; his breath became very weak while almost all parts of his body were stained red with blood. His life was hanging by a thread.

"JIETOU, you must hold on! You can definitely make it, trust me!" I shouted in my heart while doing everything I could to heal JIETOU's wounds.

"Swoosh-" Just as I was healing JIETOU, suddenly a figure appeared beside me and picked up Four Symbols Sword from the ground. Then that figure laughed triumphantly at me while holding the sword.

"How about that? In the end, I won!" The Light Elder held Four Symbols Sword and looked at me coldly.

I glanced into the distance and saw Fengyunsanren lying in a pool of blood; he had already lost. My heart couldn't help but sigh with sorrow.

Could it be that my choice was really wrong?

"Die! That Immortal Weapon inside your body is mine too!" As soon as the Light Elder finished speaking, Four Symbols Sword flashed and slashed towards my neck.

At this moment, I felt the fear of death; I knew there was no chance for me anymore.

"Don't hurt YiHeng, you old ghost!"

However, just when I thought that there was no hope left for myself - suddenly a scream came through. Xie Yilin rushed over with her Heaven-covering Bell and blocked off Light Elder's sword blade with a loud "ding".

"Boom- gudong-gudong-" Although she managed to block off Light Elder's sword blade but Heaven-covering Bell also got lifted up by tremendous force from his attack before rolling away far into distance.

Xie Yilin hugged Bai E tightly as they fell out of bell then heavily hit onto ground which made another muffled sound again - causing another wave of pain in my heart.
