However, the group noticed something was amiss as soon as they arrived.
The trees at the entrance of the valley had all been destroyed, and there were still claw marks of monsters on the trees. Monster fur and bloodstains were scattered on the ground.
At the same time, the entire valley was unusually quiet.
The senior brother who was leading the way changed his expression slightly, took out his communication token and started calling, but no matter how he called, the token did not respond at all.
"Help...help me..."
At this moment, a faint cry for help came from the valley. Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Yanfeng's expression darkened slightly.
"Looks like something's happened. Let's go see what's going on."
Jiang Yanfeng charged into the valley first, followed by his disciples. Yu Lingyue looked at the traces of the battle on the ground and felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
They could only follow Jiang Yanfeng's footsteps, but after only a few steps, the group discovered a seriously injured disciple of the Yuqian Sect.
But in just a few breaths, the person was already lifeless.
However, the lingering scent on the surrounding tree trunks roused Yu Lingyue's spirits.
Just as she was about to speak to warn her companions, a pair of crimson eyes opened from the bushes.
"There's an ambush! Spread out!"
With a cry of surprise from Yu Lingyue, a huge figure pounced out from the bushes.
With a splatter of blood, a disciple was unable to dodge in time and died instantly without even letting out a scream.
The appearance of that monster also appeared before the eyes of those around them.
"Black Wind Leopard...this aura...it feels like it's almost at the Nascent Soul stage."
Looking at the enormous black panther, Yu Lingyue couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Then, a hurricane rose from the sky. Yu Lingyue sensed the danger above her head, grabbed the stunned Qian Xiaoyu beside her, and then suddenly exerted her strength, dodging away.
Then countless feathers fell like raindrops on the spot where the two had just stood.
A dark shadow enveloped the group, and they couldn't help but look up to see a giant, blood-red eagle flapping its wings in the sky.
"A Blood Eagle at the peak of the Golden Core stage... this..."
Before Hua Yaoyao could even be surprised, another chill crept up her spine, and the surrounding grass rustled.
She used her divine sense to discover that she and her group were currently surrounded by a huge creature.
The remaining disciples could be vaguely seen with their dark scales peeking out from the grass.
A purple mist, accompanied by rustling sounds, began to envelop the surroundings, and wherever the purple mist touched, the vegetation withered and died.
Then a pair of vertical pupils appeared in the purple mist.
Qian Xiaoyu stared blankly at the slowly rising figure.
"A mid-stage Nascent Soul... Purple Crow Spirit Python... Hey... Hey... What's going on? This is completely different from the intelligence."
Roar!
At this moment, the black wind leopard let out a roar and pounced directly at the group.
The Blood Eagle spread its wings, and countless blood feathers fell from the sky. The poisonous gas from the Purple Black Serpent trapped everyone around in an extremely small corner.
It lurks in the poisonous fog, waiting for its chance to strike; one bite and a life is lost.
In an instant, blood splattered, and screams echoed through the valley.
Yu Lingyue slightly opened her eyes, and the phantom of the Crimson Glutton instantly appeared behind her. With a roar, most of the poison gas around her was dispelled.
"Don't panic, everyone! Spread out! Don't stand in a group!"
Yu Lingyue shouted to the surviving disciples around her, but her voice naturally attracted the attention of the demon beasts as well.
With its mouth full of blood, the Black Wind Leopard dropped a corpse and lunged straight at Yu Lingyue. But in mid-air, a crimson sword aura swept across the ground, struck its side, and knocked it down.
Although the Black Wind Leopard was intercepted, the Blood Eagle's attack subsided.
Yu Lingyue could only dodge.
Previously in Canggu City, after her battle with the demon king, she discovered that her Crimson Gluttony had undergone a transformation, able to devour spiritual energy and convert it into her own, thus doubling her strength.
However, absorbing spiritual energy takes time, not to mention that the air contains toxins.
In that last attack, most of their team members were killed or wounded.
Even the senior brother who led the team was swallowed whole by that purple black snake just now.
What Yu Lingyue couldn't understand the most was Jiang Yanfeng. As the leader, he became mute after being attacked, and instead started fighting with the blood eagle in the sky.
These disciples had no idea whether to fight or retreat.
This can't go on.
It won't be long before all of these people are wiped out here.
Chapter 102 Backstab
Thinking of this, Yu Lingyue gripped her spirit sword tightly, no longer caring about the so-called poison.
Yu Lingyue took out an antidote pill from her storage bag and swallowed it in one gulp. Then, the monstrous phantom behind her let out a roar, and the surrounding maws opened wide.
She inhaled all the poisonous gas from the Purple Black Spirit Python, and at the same time, her strength was rapidly increasing, reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in the blink of an eye.
A chilling aura erupted from the spirit sword in Yu Lingyue's hand. She leaped up suddenly, her wind and thunder wings unfurling behind her, and accelerated towards the Blood Eagle in mid-air.
The Blood Eagle opened its beak and let out a loud cry. The sound waves rushed down, and Yu Lingyue suddenly swung her sword. The sword energy actually broke through the Blood Eagle's sound waves.
Just as the Blood Eagle was about to spread its wings and increase its distance, the phantom of the Crimson Glutton appeared behind the Jade Feather Key. The ferocious beast's might immediately locked onto the giant eagle, and the feeling of trepidation made the giant eagle's body stiffen.
However, due to Yu Lingyue's low basic cultivation level, this could only allow the giant eagle to remain in a stalemate for a short time.
The Blood Eagle quickly recovered and spread its wings to raise its body.
Seeing this, Yu Lingyue threw her spirit sword directly at the giant eagle's eye. The giant eagle reacted, flapped its wings, and a gust of wind rose up, directly knocking Yu Lingyue's spirit sword away.
But at this moment, Yu Lingyue, unarmed, still charged towards Blood Eagle.
A hint of human mockery appeared in Blood Eagle's eyes. Did this human intend to kill it with his bare hands?
Seeing this, it lost all intention of dodging. Spiritual power surged from its beak, and it swooped down directly towards the jade feather key in front of it.
But in the next second, a horizontal sword appeared in Yu Lingyue's hand. Yu Lingyue exerted her strength suddenly, reversed the sword in her hand, and a splatter of blood appeared.
The last thing Blood Eagle saw was an infinitely spinning image before its vision went completely black.
The blood eagle's corpse crashed straight into the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.
Below, Hua Yaoyao was engulfed in flames. At this moment, the Black Wind Leopard's fur was burned all over its body, and its speed had also slowed down considerably. Hua Yaoyao did not give the Black Wind Leopard a chance to catch its breath.
He charged toward the Black Wind Leopard again, and the disciples around him noticed that his sharp swordsmanship bore a resemblance to that of their senior brother.
Finally, Hua Yaoyao seized the opportunity, pinning the Black Cloud Leopard to the tree trunk with a sword, and then pointed out with a finger.
A streak of crimson lightning flashed from her slender fingertips, striking the black cloud leopard's head in an instant.
The next second, a bolt of lightning erupted, and the Black Cloud Leopard's body exploded like a balloon.
The disciple standing nearby recognized the move and exclaimed in surprise.
"This is... the Third Elder's ultimate technique, Thunderclap Finger. I didn't expect Senior Sister Hua to have learned it. Next, all we need to do is..."
Phew!
A scene that surprised everyone occurred: a blood-stained blade suddenly emerged from the chest of the disciple who had spoken.
The disciple stared wide-eyed and turned his head in disbelief. The familiar face made him even more incredulous.
The other disciples were also stunned.
"you..."
Before those people could utter a word, a burst of demonic energy erupted, and the figure of that person moved like a phantom among the surviving disciples, instantly separating their head from their body.
This scene stunned Qian Xiaoyu. Just as she was about to turn and run away, a sharp sword light shot towards her from behind.
At this moment, Yu Lingyue swooped down from the sky.
Boom!
Just as the sword light was about to touch Qian Xiaoyu's head, Yu Lingyue intercepted the sword energy halfway and blocked it in time.
She looked at the person in front of her with some disbelief.
"Senior Brother Jiang...why?! You..."
Jiang Yanfeng's lips curled slightly. Without offering any explanation, he raised his bloodstained spirit sword and charged towards Yu Lingyue.
At this moment, Jiang Yanfeng's aura changed completely, with spiritual energy mixed with thick demonic energy, and his aura was rapidly increasing.
In just a few breaths, his strength was forcibly raised to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Yu Lingyue was forced to retreat step by step, the powerful force making her hands numb. In just a few rounds, Yu Lingyue was sent flying, smashing through several large trees as thick as bowls before finally coming to a stop.
Looking at his own hand, the broadsword had now become a "saw".
On the other side, Hua Yaoyao was also feeling terrible. She noticed what was happening here, but she didn't have time to look at it.
Just after she finished dealing with the Black Wind Leopard, the Purple Black Python lunged at her. Although she used cold water to stop the python's mouth, the venom it then spewed out caught her off guard.
As the poison gas entered her body, Hua Yaoyao's vision began to blur. She quickly took out an antidote pill and swallowed it, but it only alleviated the symptoms.
She couldn't refine the poison from this Nascent Soul stage demon beast with her own spiritual power. If she didn't have an antidote within an hour, she would probably die on the spot.
Thinking of this, she took out the communication token given to her by her master, but at this moment her token was covered with a layer of gray-black color, just like when it was attacked by the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
puff!
Just then, Yu Lingyue also spat out a mouthful of blood. The scenery in front of her began to distort, and a feeling of dizziness crept into her mind.
Her body began to sway, and then she knelt down on the ground.
"Lingyue, what's wrong... Are you alright? Come here, I have some medicine."
Qian Xiaoyu panicked and hurriedly took out her healing medicine, but Yu Lingyue pushed her away.
