Scenes like this were playing out all across the sky.
Li Guanqi swept his divine sense outward, his gaze filled with horror...
In this Third Domain, nearly three hundred immortals had descended!
Above the domain, a golden formation barrier spanning a hundred zhang slowly rotated.
Waves of terrifying pressure emanated from within it, causing the surrounding space to churn violently.
Every cultivator descending through it turned pale, their postures sinking slightly as though subject to some profound suppression.
Terrifying pressure steadily rippled outward from the illusory barrier.
This pressure was entirely unlike anything produced by any cultivator in the Human Spirit Realm...
The aura carried the ethereal, transcendent power of the Immortal Realm, making its oppression all the more suffocating!
Even Ye Feng looked overhead with a solemn expression.
"So this is... the passage for immortals descending to the mortal realm..."
Before his voice had even faded, the old man they had saved bowed his head in thanks.
"Hahaha! Many thanks for your help, young friends. If not for you—"
The elder's voice abruptly cut off!
Pfft!
A teal arrow silently pierced clean through the old man's skull!
A spray of red and white splattered across Li Guanqi's face, scalding hot.
Li Guanqi stared at the elder who had been thanking him only a breath earlier, now dead before his eyes without the slightest warning.
Looking up into the distance, a thousand zhang away in the sky stood a cold-faced woman in black robes.
Holding a longbow that shimmered with teal light, she looked toward Li Guanqi with utter contempt and mockery.
The bow in her hands was like a life-harvesting machine; every arrow she loosed severely wounded a cultivator from the Seventh Domain!
Waves of immense pressure rolled off her body, her primal energy surging.
Clearly, she had used some secret technique to forcibly suppress her power so she could enter the Third Layer...
Now her aura surged wildly, climbing in the blink of an eye all the way to half-step Tribulation Transcendence!
The Eight Generals were not on this battlefield, but on the higher Fourth Domain.
The woman's strength was virtually unmatched across this field.
Cultivators from the Immortal Burial Realm noticed her as well, immediately dispatching six Mahayana realm experts to strike her down.
Yet the woman's movement technique was blisteringly fast, carrying a mutated astral wind attribute that made her silhouette elusive and ethereal.
Dappling through the air, she pinched a teal arrow between her fingers, nocked, and released...
Thwip!
The teal arrow spun with a shrill screech, erupting forward in an instant.
"Ah! Careful! This arrow... there's something wrong with it!"
The man who shouted had half his shoulder obliterated, reduced to mangled flesh.
The teal arrow spun with such ferocity that the moment the man's sword touched it, it was knocked aside. Facing the primal energy barrier he raised, the arrow ignored it completely, piercing it like thin paper...
Realizing how deadly she was, the group instantly retreated at full speed.
Yet teal light blanketed the sky like rain, engulfing them all!
Unable to suppress the fury in his chest, Li Guanqi heard Tang Ru's voice transmission in his ear.
"That woman has a limited supply of arrows! Destroy the ones she fires first!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, and he barked in a low voice, "Pengluo! Snatch every arrow that woman shoots!"
As the sound faded, the void behind Li Guanqi rippled slightly before settling back into stillness.
Suddenly!
The severe woman froze, violently slamming her bow toward her rear!
Pengluo leaned halfway out of the void and yanked the quiver straight off her body in a single snatch.
Seeing the howling astral wind barreling toward his head, he ducked straight back into the void.
Frowning slightly, the woman shot backward and began condensing bow and arrows from her own primal energy, firing into the emptiness!
Suddenly!
A flash of lightning caught the corner of her eye, and before she could even react...
A teal arrow struck from the flank, its tip instantly piercing through her cheek!
A young man with pure white eyes stood there, the thunder gathered in his palm abruptly erupting!
The woman was ruthless as well. The moment she realized she was about to take a devastating blow, she endured the searing agony and ripped the corner of her mouth open to wrench herself free!
Behind her, the cultivators who had originally besieged her raised their protective primal energy against the sky full of glowing arrows.
Suddenly!
Silver light flared on their backs, and just as the arrows fell, they were teleported more than a thousand zhang away!
Gu Li spread his arms wide, his hands thrust deep into the void.
Scattering the cultivators across different sections of the battlefield, they coincidentally managed to slay several descending immortals!
Yet only Ye Feng and the others knew that Gu Li was currently functioning like a puppet.
He had told Tang Ru every single detail about the quantities, types, and effects of the inscribed talismans he possessed.
Relying on Gu Li's powerful divine sense, Tang Ru held the entire Third Layer battlefield within his grasp!
Seated cross-legged behind Gu Li, Tang Ru flicked his abacus beads with both hands without pause.
Command after command poured rapidly from Tang Ru's lips, his coordination with Gu Li seamless and flawless.
Whenever someone was teleported away, another was instantly pulled in to replace them.
Whether shifted out or drawn in, every cultivator was stunned to find that they worked together far better with their new partners!
Moreover, Gu Li used teleportation talismans to pull off countless unexpected ambushes and rescues!
Gu Li's face grew pale, his divine sense heavily depleted!
Tang Ru's chubby cheeks trembled slightly, yet his fingers flew across the abacus even faster.
Blood trickled down his nose into his mouth, the metallic tang constantly jolting his senses.
Ye Feng took a deep breath, raising his sword alone to shield the two behind him.
Cao Yan and Xiao Chen exchanged a glance, neither daring to step away from Gu Li's side.
In just a dozen breaths, Tang Ru and Gu Li's coordination had already subdued and slain eight descending immortals!
Boom!
A deafening explosion ripped through the sky.
A man clad in purple lightning armor stood high above the battlefield.
A slender black silhouette was hurled backward like a cannonball!
Lightning flared within the void as Li Guanqi shot forward, moving so blindingly fast that onlookers saw only a blurred violet arc flash and vanish!
"Yin Zhi!"
A besieged man within the crowd suddenly unleashed a torrent of fierce sword qi, forcing back the two opponents beside him.
A chill flashed in Zhou Qingguo's eyes as his sword slashed ruthlessly toward the man's back.
It seemed this man and the archer woman were Dao companions!
Desperate to aid the woman, the man abruptly crushed a jade seal in his grasp.
Rumble!
A violent explosion rang out, and the cold-faced man bolted from the blast, hair disheveled.
Yet rather than rushing to aid the woman named Yin Zhi, he rocketed straight toward Gu Li and the others!
By the time Zhou Qingguo realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Li Guanqi realized it as well, but his figure faltered slightly, pinned in place by thousands of arrows loosed by the woman!
"Ye the Second!"
The man was formidable—otherwise, two peak Mahayana cultivators would not have been needed to hold him back.
Ye Feng took a deep breath. Facing the ferocious man, he did not retreat; instead, he took a fierce step forward to meet the charge head-on!
"Apocalypse: Nu Sha!"
Hum!
A ferocious malevolence never seen before suddenly erupted from the blade of Ye Feng's sword!
It was as though...
This blade had sensed the presence of an immortal!
At this moment, Ye Feng's spirit merged completely with the sword in his hand, his eyes flushing crimson.
His golden hair whipped wildly in the wind, his robes snapping in midair.
Cao Yan and Xiao Chen looked on in shock...
When had they ever seen Ye Feng so savage?
In an instant, a terrifying beam of golden sword light surged from the ground!
"Nu Sha: Immortal Slaying!"
At this moment, Ye Feng looked like a being descended to slaughter immortals in the mortal realm.
The Nu Sha sword trembled and unleashed a resounding cry, as though announcing to the world that it had awakened.
Boom!
The two sword lights collided, and the man's strike shattered instantly.
The golden sword light was extraordinarily condensed, severing the man's head in a flash!
"Brother Hao!"
The woman with the teal bow completely disregarded her own safety, drawing her bow to full draw toward Ye Feng's position!
Boom!
Blood leaked from the corners of her mouth as she forcibly steadied herself in the void, white flames igniting around her body to focus all her power into this single arrow!
A massive arrow coalesced in an instant, the raging astral wind whipping up a vortex a hundred zhang tall.
Its berserk power severed heaven and earth without mercy, and the instant the bowstring sliced into her fingers, the woman released her grip!
"Die!"
Thump!
Heaven and earth fell silent; along the arrow's path, cultivators were butchered in droves!
Zhou Qingguo looked at the exhausted Ye Feng and the others, a flash of absolute resolve in his eyes.
Pushing his movement technique to its limit, white flames blazing, the wide-eyed man threw himself directly in front of the arrow!
Gripping his sword with both hands, hairline cracks began spreading across the blade.
The man unleashed his Sword Ruins to trigger his blade's Soul Release, draining every ounce of his strength to slash out a single strike.
Cao Yan and Xiao Chen acted simultaneously, yet neither was fast enough to match the man's speed.
Boom!
Rumble!
Zhou Qingguo fell to one knee, coughing up blood.
His consciousness began to blur, his heavy gaze dropping to look down at himself.
A bloody cavity the size of a washbasin gaped in his chest, and his life force was rapidly ebbing away...
Far across the battlefield, Sun Changlin let out a grief-stricken roar.
"Qingguo!"
Cao Yan, Xiao Chen, and the others rushed forward in an instant.
"Senior Zhou!"
