"Fairy Ning Shuang, stop worrying about us! Go! Hurry!"
In a long, narrow valley at the center of Darkstone Valley, the Lower Realm martial cultivator Zhou Yifu shattered a demonic beast's skull with his axe, then turned to look at Qu Ningshuang at the valley's other entrance.
There, Qu Ningshuang stood alone with her sword, blocking the entrance. She had actually withstood several successive attacks from two fourth-stage middle-grade evil demon incarnations.
Only four people could still be seen standing in the valley.
Of the other three, one leaned against the mountain wall, gravely wounded, while the other two lay with their heads severed from their bodies.
Rumble...
After another blow from a fourth-stage middle-grade evil demon incarnation was blocked, the ground throughout the valley trembled incessantly.
That alone showed how powerful the Fourth-Stage Middle Grade demonic beast had been.
Clang...!
Yet Qu Ningshuang, wielding Ten Thousand Edges, ultimately broke through the berserk Fourth-Stage Middle Grade demonic beast's attack with a single sword strike and drove it back.
Finally gaining a moment to catch her breath, Qu Ningshuang immediately called out without looking back:
"The grand formation hasn't been broken yet. Why retreat?"
As she spoke, another berserk Fourth-Stage Middle Grade demonic beast charged at her, driving her several steps back with a single blow.
At the valley's other end, Zhou Xie continued trying to persuade her while fending off the demonic beasts charging through the cracks in the grand formation:
"Fairy Ning Shuang, more and more gaps are appearing in the grand formation. It's only a matter of time before it breaks!"
"Stop worrying about us! Go!"
Just then, Elder Shi, Shi Yuan, who controlled the grand formation together with the others, also sighed and said:
"Fairy Ning Shuang, the tide has turned against us. You should go."
