Chapter 95: Hanging by a Thread

  "These blood mists may be poisonous, everyone be careful!"

  Jiao Zhi Ming saw these vapors rising and thought of what happened to his fellow disciples last night, being poisoned by the demonic energy, and couldn't help but let out a loud cry.

  Once bitten by a snake, for ten years one fears the hemp rope. Those disciples who had previously crossed swords with him did not wait for his orders, each of them holding their breath and putting their true yuan on the outside, trying to block the invasion of the red mist.

  Zhang Shan stood in the front and was the first to touch the red fog.

  In an instant, it was discovered that these red mists actually ignored the true yuan energy shield and directly penetrated the yuan energy, drilling into the pores on his body.

  "The aura mask is actually useless."

  He felt a pang in his heart, and after a moment, he was overjoyed again.

  Because he found that the red mist that drilled into his body was absorbed by his true yuan, and after entering the vortex of true yuan in the air sea, it was directly refined.

  Then he felt the true yuan in his dantian increasing thread by thread.

  "Oh no, my yuanqi shield can't block these misty vapors! They're seeping into my body and dissolving my true yuan!"

  The other team members shouted loudly, with a look of panic on their faces.

  "Haha, my Devouring Fog is not so easy to endure. Wait until these fog energies penetrate your bodies and continuously dissolve your True Essence. By then, I won't need to lift a finger, you'll all obediently surrender."

  Zheng Sancai looked at his opponent's flustered expression and burst out laughing.

  "Don't panic first, everyone gather together, those red fog will be left to me." Zhang Shan shouted loudly.

  "Everyone listen to Zhang Shidi, get close quickly, don't panic, Zhang Shidi's soul technique should be able to restrain this thing."

  Jiao Zhi Ming heard Zhang Shan's words and thought of how he had saved his fellow disciple last night, and his heart became more determined.

  "Right, everyone calm down, we have Zhang Shidi, since he said so, he must be confident."

  The disciples of Xuanbing Peak immediately reacted and gathered towards the middle, their tense nerves relaxing.

  Zhang Shan began to swiftly pace around the crowd, frantically wielding the Sen Luo Wan Xiang Jue, absorbing the surging red mist into his body like a whale sucking in water.

  The more Gong Fa turned, the faster it went, and those red mists were quickly absorbed into the Qi Hai, transformed into his own true yuan.

  The red mist was rapidly fading away, and Zhang Shan felt that the true yuan in his dantian was gathering more and more, filling up the entire dantian, and could no longer hold any more.

  "It's been compressed to the limit, let's break through!"

  Zhang Shan made a decisive move, his divine consciousness stirred, guiding the true yuan in the Qihai to rush towards the seventeenth spiritual orifice within his body.

  The true yuan is constantly being consumed in the impact of the spiritual orifices, but new red mist is transformed into new true yuan, and it will not be exhausted for a while.

  Finally, after the last wisp of red mist was absorbed, Zhang Shan's spiritual aperture burst open with a loud crack, and the aura of Lingwu's eightfold spiritual energy shot up into the sky.

  "What kind of devilish thing is this Primordial Fog? It's just what I need to make a breakthrough!"

  "It's too incredible, Zhang Shidi actually broke through by absorbing this red mist, this soul technique is really against the heavens." Ling Yuwei's small mouth was agape, her face full of incredulity.

  "Has already reached the 8th layer of Lingwu Realm, and is almost catching up with me."

  Fang Yiru's lips curled up slightly, and she was also happy for him in her heart.

  The disciples of Xuanbing Peak let out a sigh of relief as the red mist dissipated, and their spirits were greatly lifted when they saw Zhang Shan advance to another level.

  Zheng Sancai, who was standing on the city wall, finally came back to his senses from his daze.

  "You... can actually absorb the Devouring Mist from my grand formation? Bastard, you must die!" He bellowed in a fit of rage.

  Bao Taijie shouted loudly: "Fourth brother, this kid may have a special martial soul and can resist the Devouring Origin Fog, but they only have two Spirit Martial Realm Ninth Grades. Our strength is more than twice theirs, let's just take action and kill them."

  Jiao Zhi Ming and Fang Yi Ru are at the 9th level of spiritual cultivation in Ling Wu, while Ling Yu Wei is at the 6th level. The other disciples of Xuan Bing Peak are between the 6th to 8th levels, with Zhang Shan having just advanced to the 8th level realm.

  Yun Xiong flew in with a gloomy smile and said, "Sixth brother is right, Fourth brother's Dragon Array can't be broken unless one has reached the third level of True Martial Realm or above. Otherwise, they will not be able to escape."

  "Then we four will take action and kill these things ourselves, you all come with me!"

  Zheng Sancai nodded heavily and immediately shouted loudly at his subordinates.

  Those bandits all shouted and rushed towards Zhang Shan and others from all directions along the street.

  The disciples surrounded them in a circle and immediately clashed with the demon thieves.

  These rascals are not very powerful, and as soon as they came into contact with the battle, they were killed by the disciples like cutting melons and vegetables. However, under the eyes of the four leaders, they did not dare to retreat, and the people behind them gritted their teeth and pushed up wave after wave.

  "Let's get started together."

  Zheng Sancai hailed the other three and picked up a short stick in his hand, rushing straight at Zhang Shan.

  The other three people also took out their own weapons and rushed towards the disciples of Wentiangong from the other three directions.

  Yun Xiong flew over with a smile and found Fang Yiru: "This fairy, let's get intimate?"

  Jiao Zhi Ming's figure flashed and he intercepted him: "Fang Shijie, let me handle this toad."

  Fang Yiru slightly nodded her head and crossed paths with him, meeting Lei Qikuo who was coming from the opposite direction.

  "You little brat, are you tired of living? Watch as I tear you into pieces!"

  The three of them were evenly matched with the three leaders of the Demon Thieves, neither gaining the upper hand.

  Only Mo Dao Liu had an advantage in Ba Taijie's place, where he was against Xuan Bingfeng's Quan Mocheng and Gong Junyi.

  Quan Mo Cheng has Lingwu 8th rank, while Gong Xun has only Lingwu 7th rank. Although the two of them joined forces to face Bao Tai Jie, a Lingwu 9th rank opponent, they still clearly fell at a disadvantage after clashing.

  The other disciples were all fending off the combined attack of those low-level demon thieves, and for a time they couldn't temporarily extract themselves to come and help.

  Zhang Shan and Zheng Sancai joined hands after meeting, feeling that this person is connected to the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Formation, so both defense and attack power are amazingly strong.

  Especially the unremarkable short rod in his hand turned out to be a spiritual instrument of thirty-six layers of prohibition.

  Zhang Shan was indeed powerful in combat, far surpassing his peers, but when facing Zheng Sancai, he could only barely hold his own against his opponent and failed to gain any advantage.

  A moment later, a loud laugh came from Bao Taijie's side, followed by a painful cry from Gong Junyi.

  "Brother Gong!" Quan Mocheng exclaimed in surprise.

  Zhang Shan exerted himself and forced Zheng Sancai to retreat with one move, taking the opportunity to look back, only to see that Gong Junyi's right arm had already been severed by Bao Taijie, with blood gushing out of the wound, clearly having lost his combat effectiveness.

  Ling Yuwei and one of Xuan Bingfeng's disciples rushed forward, standing on either side of Quan Mocheng, and the three of them managed to temporarily stabilize the situation.

  Ling Yu's decisive deployment of Qinglian Fadu accelerated the recovery speed of Gong Junyi and the other disciples.

  However, with two fewer people blocking those rascals, the demon thieves felt a slight relief in pressure and their attacks became even more ferocious.

  Later, under Bao Taijie's fierce attack, the new top-up Xuanbing Peak disciple was seriously injured again without paying attention, and another disciple had to give up resisting the Liao people and topped up again.

  Bao Taijie suddenly became the breakthrough of this battle.

  Apart from Quan Mocheng and Ling Yuwei barely holding on without getting injured, the other disciples of Xuan Ice Peak who went up were basically unable to hold on for long before getting injured and being replaced.

  Zhang Shan, Jiao Zhiming and Fang Yiru were tightly entwined and could not be rescued.

  The situation has become precarious.
