Ambush

Lin Chuan's figure was sent flying by the sudden sword light, but protected by Susanoo's powerful defense, he suffered no real injury.

When he looked back, fierce fighting had already erupted across the entire plaza. Caught off guard by the teleportation, Lin Chuan's group had fallen into an ambush laid by the more than a hundred Song Family cultivators stationed here. They were forced into a passive position, with nearly everyone being attacked simultaneously by several people the moment they arrived.

In that short span of time, Lin Chuan's group of fourteen had been suppressed to the point where they could only defend and had no chance to attack. The nearly hundred cultivators also knew that time was precious. From the moment the first person entered, they had locked their spells onto the teleportation site. Like floodwaters bursting through a dam, they poured all their firepower toward that spot without regard for their lives. Spells, sword lights, and magical treasures came crashing down in an endless stream.

"Susanoo!"

Boom! The Mangekyō Sharingan in Lin Chuan's eyes erupted. His pupil power surged forth as blood-red flames rose in an instant. Dozens of enormous bones rapidly grew outward, surrounding everyone and placing them all beneath Susanoo's protection.

Boom boom boom...

Countless spells and sword lights slammed against Susanoo's skeletal frame. Brilliant light flooded the entire space as violent energy waves spread out, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction.

Lin Chuan's face turned pale. Facing so many attacks at once, even he felt strained. The cultivators guarding this place were all extremely powerful. Though none of them individually matched anyone in Lin Chuan's group, their combined force was horrifying—so much so that even Lin Chuan's Susanoo was on the verge of being shattered.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan had not arrogantly tried to protect everyone.
