We're Clearly Stronger, So Why Are We on the Back Foot?

"Boom!"

A terrifyingly loud explosion.

The ground trembled violently under this palm strike.

An astonishing force struck Luo Zhen, causing him to stumble and fall forward.

"It hurts!"

Luo Zhen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly opened his eyes.

Where he had just been standing, there was now a shocking, deep crater shaped like a giant hand.

Of the senior brothers who were just beside me, 50% are now seriously injured and 40% have died suddenly.

The remaining ten percent had already turned into a puddle.

Luo Zhen's face turned pale instantly.

What terrifying power! If it had been any more erratic, I probably would have ended up in a complete mess.

"Use defensive measures immediately!"

The boy who had given the warning earlier shouted again.

No sooner had he finished speaking than an arrow pierced his back.

Damn it!

Everyone then snapped out of their daze and hurriedly activated the life-saving measures they had prepared beforehand.

Another location, where the disciples of the Five Symbols Sect were gathered.

Almost instantly, twenty or thirty people appeared simultaneously and attacked the Five Symbols Sect members.

The disciples of the Five Symbols Sect were previously quite far from the disciples of other forces, but now that they are closer together, they have become excellent targets.

"Sneak attack!"

"The minimum requirement is the Void Transformation Realm!"

Chen Qiao roared.

As he spoke, something suddenly flew out of his hand—a formation plate.

"Royal!"

Chen Qiao struck down with his palm, and instantly the array plate unfolded, transforming into a defensive barrier that enveloped the disciples around him.

"Your reaction was quite quick." The expert from the Dongfang Clan looked surprised, but quickly sneered.

"Unfortunately, that's all, nothing more..."

As he was speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.

The group of the Five Symbols Sect disciples almost simultaneously took out an array plate and activated it.

Swish, swish, swish.

In an instant, light flashed, and the array layered upon layer.

If it's too big inside, just put it on the outside.

At the same time, this small group of powerful members of the Dongfang Clans also approached.

"Cloud-Startling Spear!"

Earth -Earth-Splitting Palm!

"Sweeping Sword Art!"

In an instant, waves of incredibly powerful attacks rained down on the defensive array.

Boom!

Amidst the layers of array formations, booming sounds rang out continuously.

After a barrage of attacks.

The initial attack was successful.

The dozen or so defensive arrays shattered on the spot.

Only...

There are a bunch more to come.

"Damn it, how do these Five Symbols Sect disciples have such defensive capabilities!"

A powerful member of the Dongfang Clan angrily cursed.

The level of these defensive arrays was clearly higher than they had expected.

An ordinary defensive array would not be able to withstand such a barrage of attacks.

Furthermore, if the quantity is small, then a stronger one is fine.

But there are way too many layers!

"Counterattack!"

At this moment, Chen Qiao spoke again from within the formation.

In an instant, countless talismans flew out from within the formation.

Swish, swish, swish.

The moment the seal appears, the power contained within it bursts forth.

"This talisman..."

The expression on the face of the Dongfang Clan expert changed slightly upon seeing the seal used together.

The grade of this talisman seems to be quite high?

Without hesitation, everyone immediately activated their defensive measures.

At the same time, the attack formed from the talismans arrived with a deafening roar.

In an instant, the noise and commotion were overwhelming.

After a barrage of bombardments, thick smoke suddenly rose from all around.

The smoke seemed to have been condensed by special means. Once it dispersed, it blocked outside detection, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Amidst this dense mist, a bluish-purple haze mingled, enveloping the group from the Dongfang Clan.

Hold your breath!

A powerful Dongfang Clan gave a low warning.

A moment later, another person, whose face was slightly bluish-purple, spoke urgently:

"Use your spiritual power to protect yourself; don't let the poison come into contact with your skin!"

As they spoke, within the formation, the disciples of the Five Symbols Sect methodically unleashed their attacks, bombarding everyone.

Damn it!

Faced with this group of troublesome Five Symbols Sect disciples, a powerful member of the Dongfang Clan became furious.

"We're clearly stronger, so how come we're so passive!"

"Brush!"

The moment the members of the Dongfang Clan appeared, a beam of light flew toward Lu Changzhi and Mu Fan.

The light landed and instantly unfolded into a complex array.

It combines defense, concealment, and disguise into one.

Almost as soon as the action began, Lu Changzhi and Mu Fan vanished from their spot.

"Um?"

Within the formation, Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.

The elder has made a move?

"Changzhi, your reaction speed is still a bit slow."

Xu Kun's voice transmission rang in my ear.

"That could easily lead to danger."

After a pause, Xu Kun added:

"But there's no need to worry now, most of the sect's elders have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.

With the help of the system scan.

This is hardly enough; almost all of them have arrived.

There are just too many people coming.

Pulling himself back to reality, Lu Changzhi looked towards the field.

Compared to where they were, other places were truly in dire straits.

The sudden move by the Dongfang Clan clearly caught most of those present off guard.

Such a price is either serious injury or death.

The disciples present, though not weak, were ultimately no match for these powerful elders.

The first wave of attacks immediately caused massive casualties.

After paying such a price, everyone realized what was happening and quickly activated their defensive measures.

However, fighting alone will obviously not last long.

Lu Changzhi's gaze did not linger on the crowd.

His attention was focused on the disciples of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land and Qin Jiuxiao.

"Careful!"

The distance is greater, and the reaction time is sufficient.

The disciples of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land activated their defensive measures.

Just by observing the aura of their defensive methods, one can see the gap between the Eastern Region and the Holy Land.

Boom!

Some of the powerful Dongfang Clan attacked the disciples of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

The others, however, headed straight for Qin Jiuxiao.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao stood in the pillar of light, his expression slightly changed, and a hint of anger was visible in his eyes.

Just a moment ago, it was a scene of singing and dancing, but now it has turned into this.

"Stealing from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land? Are you courting death?"

Looking at Dongfang Hong approaching with his men, Qin Jiuxiao spoke in a cold voice.

Dongfang Hong did not speak, but suddenly revealed his aura.

In an instant, a terrifying aura soared into the sky.

The aura, almost approaching the Transcendent Realm, caused the expressions of everyone present to change.

Despair, helplessness.

"Wasn't it said that only descendants could enter the ruins? What's going on with these people?!"

Countless people felt worried and confused.

These people are too strong; they are simply beyond their ability to handle.

What's more, there's now another powerful figure with such an aura.

"Late Stage of the Dao Comprehension Realm."

Qin Jiuxiao's expression also changed.

But his movements were by no means slow.

With a wave of his hand, a golden token appeared in his palm.

"Punish!"

Looking at Dongfang Hong, Qin Jiuxiao spoke in a cold voice.
