Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"If we could, we would certainly not want to abandon them, but the situation is special now. We are barely able to protect ourselves, so we have no choice but to..."

The woman in the lead did not continue transmitting her voice, but her meaning was already very clear. Upon hearing this, the burly man from the Wood Clan and the man in Confucian robes not only did not become angry, but they also nodded slightly in unison.

The two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If their captain had insisted, they really wouldn't have been able to object. Fortunately, their worst fears hadn't come true, which was all the better.

"Now that we're free of any burdens, things will be much easier with just the three of us. However, it's best not to act alone. After all, there's not only the enemy lurking in the shadows, but also something that can bewitch our minds. If we continue to fight individually as before, we're very likely to be defeated one by one."

“Brother Luo is right. Then let’s join forces and use the ‘Bodhi of Unity’ technique. In this way, our magical power will be combined into one, and our minds will be connected, which will allow us to unleash even greater power. Even if the opponent has some strange methods, we should be able to resist them.”

"The Bodhi Method of Unity? This method is a secret of our clan and can only be used by those at the Refinement of Void Realm or above. The three of us have just practiced it, so it is quite suitable."

"Then let's begin..."

"..."

Once the agreement was reached, the three of them did not hesitate at all. They immediately began to rapidly form hand seals, and streams of unknown cyan-green runes began to emanate from them.

The number of runes increased, becoming dense and gradually enveloping the three, forming a green light shield. Although it was not yet completely closed, it already emitted waves of terrifying pressure.

This scene naturally did not escape the notice of the Nascent Soul stage Wood Clan members in the Azure Cloud Divine Ship behind them. They, who each had their own backgrounds, recognized the scene and instantly understood what was happening, causing their expressions to change drastically.

"Oh no, it's the Bodhi Dharma of Unity! They're going to abandon us..."

"Damn it, why did they have to do this?"

"Captain, aren't you afraid of the Temple's punishment for your actions...?"

"..."

The crowd behind them anxiously questioned them, but the three Void Refinement Realm Wood Clan members, who had already made up their minds, completely ignored them and continued to manipulate their hand seals faster and faster.

Just as the emerald green light shield was about to completely close, an unexpected change occurred. A emerald green phantom flew in like lightning and then directly entered the body of the Wood Clan giant.

In an instant, the burly man from the Wood Clan felt his magical power stagnate, and he could no longer perform the hand seals.

This 'United Bodhi Method' requires all three to be used simultaneously. Now that one of them has a problem, it naturally causes a chain reaction. The emerald green light shield shook violently and then exploded with a 'bang'.

Not only that, the three of them also suffered a backlash because the secret technique was suddenly destroyed, and their faces were extremely ugly.

This sudden change was naturally seen by the Nascent Soul stage Wood Clan members behind them. The group, who were originally filled with resentment, were stunned for a moment, and then they all sneered without any attempt to hide it.

Weren't you going to abandon them and leave? Now look what's happened, nobody can leave.

The Wood Clan giant finally felt the loss of his magic power, but to his even greater surprise, the anomaly disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his magic power returned to normal.

"Damn it!" In an instant, he understood what was happening and immediately started cursing.

The Heavenly Wood Formation was like this before, and the Bodhi Heart Sutra is the same now. They are all looking for a breakthrough from him. Do they think he has the lowest cultivation level and can be taken advantage of?
It's now very clear that the enemy hiding in the shadows was deliberately interfering and preventing them from leaving.

However, this also confirms that the other party is not at the Integration Realm or above, otherwise there would be no need to use such a despicable and underhanded method.

"What should we do?" The big man from the Wood Clan looked at his two companions. He felt a little guilty because it was always his side that had problems.

Clearly, the original plan to jointly unleash the secret technique would not work if that unknown enemy interfered from the side.

But what's more troublesome is that the enemy has such bizarre methods that even if they break out separately, it doesn't seem likely they'll succeed; they'll still be hampered and blocked. The enemy wants to keep them here, facing endless death energy, the corrosive power of ghost fire, and the attacks of flying snakes. If they delay any longer, they'll likely perish.

It must be admitted that this cowardly fellow is exceptionally cunning and treacherous!

"Things have come to this point, and I don't have any better ideas. We can only try to break out on our own. As for whether we can escape in the end, it all depends on our luck!" The leading woman sighed softly. As she spoke, she summoned a mysterious little tower about a foot tall, which was shimmering with a soft blue light.

Upon seeing this item, both the burly man from the Wood Clan and the man in Confucian robes changed their expressions. Without hesitation, they both waved their arms and took out their respective life-saving trump cards.

The three exchanged glances, and then almost simultaneously made their move, each wielding their treasures and transforming into three streaks of light that sped toward the exit.

However, just as the Wood Clan giant had predicted, in the blink of an eye, the mysterious phantom reappeared, and the escape light momentarily faltered...

……

Time passes slowly!
The situation in the seventh cave was quite strange. The three Wood Clan members at the Void Refinement Realm kept trying to break through, but each time they were interfered with and blocked.

Using the same method, a mysterious emerald-green phantom entered his body, causing his magical power to instantly spiral out of control.

What's even more frustrating is that the emerald-green phantom is as fast as lightning and appears and disappears unpredictably, making it impossible to dodge in time.

Although the time each loss of magical power lasted only a short period, it still had an immeasurable impact on the three of them, forcing them to face the frenzied erosion of death energy and ghost fire, as well as the continuous self-destruction attacks of endless flying serpents, all without any warning.

As beings at the Refinement Realm, the three naturally possessed profound foundations. Initially, they were able to withstand the attacks, but as time went on and they were subjected to more and more erosion and attacks, they gradually became unable to hold on.

Of course, the group of Nascent Soul stage Wood Clan members on the Azure Cloud Divine Ship were even more vulnerable. Without the protection of Void Refinement stage experts, the ship's defensive array quickly broke down under the continuous attacks, eventually failing completely.

The next moment, the entire group of Nascent Soul stage Wood Clan members were completely engulfed, with screams of agony rising and falling. Some even chose to self-destruct because they could not withstand the pressure.

Before long, the entire Nascent Soul stage Wood Clan perished and their cultivation vanished...

Despite feeling a pang of regret, none of the three Void Refinement Realm experts ahead chose to return to provide assistance.

At this moment, all three were seriously injured and had exhausted most of their magical power. They were barely able to protect themselves, let alone have the strength to help others.
"This won't do, we'll be worn down to death sooner or later!" The middle-aged man was the weakest and looked the most disheveled. Suddenly, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he flipped his hand to take out a pitch-black jade bottle.

Upon opening, a pill the size of a thumb, exuding a bloody stench, appeared.

"Bloodlust Pill! You're insane!" A loud shout rang out, coming from the scholar-robed man on the other side.

"This is the only chance! Fellow Daoists, please take care!" A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Wood Clan man before he swallowed it whole.

In the next instant, a burst of blood-red light erupted from his body, and his strength increased dramatically from the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm to the peak of the late stage. Moreover, his mana surged and he was no longer the overdrawn figure he had been before.

Strangely, the middle-aged man, whose strength had suddenly increased, did not choose to flee immediately. Instead, he suddenly summoned an ancient stone mirror about a foot in diameter.

"Haoyang Mirror, Brother Yan, you mustn't..." The man in Confucian robes finally understood what was happening and immediately tried to stop him, but it was too late.

The middle-aged man suddenly gave a resolute smile, his eyes instinctively sweeping over the woman in the lead, a hint of lingering affection flashing in his gaze, which disappeared in an instant. Then, his burly body exploded with a 'bang'.

The thick blood mist surged and churned, then completely disappeared into the stone mirror.

The next moment, the originally simple stone mirror seemed to come alive, shooting straight into the sky and increasing in size by more than ten times.

Ancient runes flickered on the mirror's surface, instantly unleashing countless rays of light. Wherever they passed, deathly aura and ghostly fire dissipated, and even countless flying serpents gave way... (End of Chapter)
