Powerless Resistance

"Gulp!"

Swallowing hard, Xiao Yan propped himself up, his body weak.

Xiao Yan then asked the Venerable Yao, "Teacher, what should we do next?"

"We can't let him devour Yun Shan's soul so easily!" As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the Venerable Yao's eyes narrowed, and then a ruthless determination flashed within him as he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Venerable Yao waved his sleeve, and a pale white flame instantly appeared, shooting towards the Black Mist.

Bone White Flame streaked across the sky, heading straight for the Black Mist. However, just as the Bone White Flame was about to touch the Black Mist, a cloud of black smoke suddenly spewed out from the black mist and collided with the Bone White Flame. Accompanied by a sound, both flames dissipated.

"Heh heh! Yao Chen, you think you can break my Soul Hall's secret technique with your current strength? You're dreaming!" From within the Black Mist, Protector Wu's voice rippled out, accompanied by his unpleasant laughter.

As soon as the words fell, the scarlet eyes within the Black Mist immediately turned, looking towards many elders of the Misty Cloud Sect. Then, a voice that many could not understand was uttered.

"With Yun Shan dead, there's no need to support the Misty Cloud Sect anymore. Those who benefited from my Soul Hall should be rewarded."

Upon hearing the voice emanating from the Black Mist, many elders of the Misty Cloud Sect immediately changed their expressions, for they clearly understood what Protector Wu was saying. Consequently, these people turned tail and fled.

"Hmph! Trying to run? Do you think you can escape!" Seeing the fleeing Misty Cloud Sect elder, Protector Wu let out a cold snort, and the Black Mist immediately surged, revealing small vortexes.

Beneath these small vortexes, the fleeing Misty Cloud Sect elder immediately froze.

The Misty Cloud Sect elders stood frozen in place, clutching their heads with their hands, and then simultaneously let out heart-wrenching screams.

"What are you trying to do?" Seeing the elders of her sect all looking like this, Yun Yun roared, her voice tinged with helplessness.

"What are you doing? They benefited, so they should pay the corresponding price." Protector Wu said coldly, his hand seals changing instantly.

As the hand seals changed, the spinning vortexes became even more violent. Correspondingly, the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect also began to suffer even more.

"Out!"

The hand seals changed again, and with a loud shout, illusory figures slowly emerged from above the heads of these suffering beings.

After these phantoms appeared, the Black Mist's suction power increased dramatically, directly drawing in the Soul Body of the Misty Cloud Sect elders.

"It's over!" This was the thought in everyone's mind at that moment.

Having lost almost all of its elders, the Misty Cloud Sect, apart from Yun Yun, had virtually no other high-level combat power. The Misty Cloud Sect, which was once admired by countless people in the Jia Ma Empire, had now suffered annihilation.

After devouring the souls of the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect, the Black Mist immediately began to surge violently. As this surge continued, black patterns gradually appeared around the Black Mist.

As more and more patterns appeared, the volume of the Black Mist gradually shrank. However, the aura emanating from it grew stronger and stronger.

"Teacher, this..." Xiao Yan said anxiously, sensing the increasingly powerful aura emanating from Protector Wu.

"This guy's absorption of energy like this must have serious side effects. But this real increase in aura is going to be really difficult today." The Venerable Yao, who also sensed the increase in Protector Wu, immediately frowned and said.

"Teacher, no matter what, I won't let him take you away." Faced with Old Yao's words, Xiao Yan immediately clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely.

"Hehe, little guy. Your teacher isn't someone to be trifled with, and won't be so easily captured." The Venerable Yao chuckled as he lightly patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.

Then, turning back, Venerable Yao said, "Over the years, I've taught you everything I could. The rest you'll have to learn through practice. So even if Protector Wu captures me, Xiao Yan, don't act rashly."

"Teacher..." Before the Venerable Yao could finish speaking, Xiao Yan called out urgently.

"The teacher was just saying 'in case'," Venerable Yao patted Xiao Yan's shoulder again to comfort him.

Above the horizon, the Black Mist had shrunk considerably, and after a moment, Black Mist vanished completely, replaced by a black figure.

The black figure was covered in patterns, which together formed an armor-like structure that completely enveloped it.

After the dark figures were enveloped in the armor, the patterns began to writhe. As they writhed, human faces began to emerge. These emerging faces were clearly those of the Misty Cloud Sect elders who had just been sucked into the Black Mist.

"You demon!"

Those faces, each one contorted with pain, belonged to the elders of her Misty Cloud Sect. Seeing their vivid images before her eyes, Yun Yun screamed, her face contorted in agony.

With a loud shout, Yun Yun pointed her sword directly, and with the flapping of her Wings of Dou Qi, a heavy voice slowly came from her mouth.

"All members of the Misty Cloud Sect, heed my command! Follow me and form the Cloudy Smoke Covering Sun Formation!"

As Yun Yun finished speaking, everyone from the Misty Cloud Sect turned their gazes toward Lin Ming.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and without any obstruction to the formation, the members of the Misty Cloud Sect sat down cross-legged.

"Form ranks!"

With a shout, streams of white energy rose from the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect, then converged on Yun Yun in an overwhelming manner.

The gathered white energy, like mist, piled up, creating a Sea of Clouds in the sky.

As the disciples continuously gathered their energy, the Sea of Clouds grew deeper and larger. Yun Yun, who was in the Sea of Clouds, looked at the already formed formation and immediately pointed her sword, her chilling words echoing out.

"Demon, prepare to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple immediately appeared in the Sea of Clouds, and then a giant sword, several dozen feet in size, appeared in the Sea of Clouds.

The giant sword was covered with deep cloud patterns.

As soon as the giant sword appeared, Yun Yun's eyes turned cold and sharp. Then, she thrust her long sword at Protector Wu.

As Yun Yun thrust her longsword down, the giant sword in the Sea of Clouds began to tremble. And as it trembled, the space itself began to fluctuate violently.

In no time, the trembling giant sword straightened and then shot towards Protector Wu.

Seeing the giant sword hurtling towards him with sharp sword energy, Protector Wu shook his head and sneered coldly, "Heh heh, you think you can deal with me with this broken Protector? You overestimate yourself!"

With a chilling voice, Protector Wu slightly raised his palm, and several patterns instantly rippled out, directly intercepting the incoming giant sword in mid-air.

"Destroy!"

Seeing the patterns covering the giant sword, Protector Wu clenched his fist, and with a uttered sound, the energy giant sword shattered with a deafening roar.
