The attacks from Hansong and the others vanished the instant they met the shockwave from the array's explosion.
The ice spikes that came hurtling straight at them slammed hard into their chests as if they carried heavy hammers.
Bang!
The protective aura around them shattered, and they were sent flying backward.
However, it was not over yet.
Jiang Fan merely swept both hands through the air.
The ice spikes that should have fallen after that one strike actually seemed to miraculously come back to life. They changed direction and once again turned into a blue storm, sweeping toward the men.
"Not good!"
"Defend, quickly!"
After Hansong shouted, he hurriedly waved a hand, propping up a spiritual energy barrier behind him, then shot away into the distance at top speed.
The other two elders followed his example. While each raised a barrier for protection, wind gathered beneath their feet as they fled rapidly.
"Trying to run?"
"Do you think you can get away?"
Along with Jiang Fan's icy voice, the storm of ice spikes crashed into the barriers.
In an instant, the powerful barriers raised by these elders shattered with a boom, as flimsy as paper.
The violent spiritual energy condensed by the Mystic Ice array pierced through their defenses and slammed viciously into their bodies.
"Waah!"
The men spat blood at the same time, their bodies flying backward like kites with cut strings before crashing heavily into the cliff walls on both sides of the mountain path, leaving several human-shaped depressions behind.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A moment later, the smoke and dust dispersed.
Elder Hansong was the first to crawl out from the rubble.
The front of his robes had already been stained red, his hair was disheveled, his face was ashen, and his entire appearance was wretched beyond words.
