"Everyone must escape quickly; do not confront the Royal Family head-on. The Great Formation is destroyed, our advantage is gone, and we must wait for their Golden Giant Dragon to dissipate before we can battle the Royal Family again."
"Engaging in battle now would surely put us at a disadvantage; it is not a wise choice."
Qiu Wenxi instructed the Black Cloud Sect’s elders.
Upon hearing this, everyone abandoned their positions at the formation’s nexus. With the Black Cloud Bloody Array about to rupture, defending their posts was tantamount to making themselves living targets for the Great Flame Imperial Family. They immediately deployed their movement techniques and scattered in all directions.
Just as Qiu Wenxi had said, they had to wait for the Power of the Dragon Vein from the Great Flame Imperial Family to fade before engaging them in battle again.
As the Golden Giant Dragon released a column of light from its Dragon Breath, the Black Cloud Bloody Array above shattered instantly.
All those enveloped by the formation showed signs of joy upon witnessing this scene.
Their crisis was finally resolved. In the instant the Black Cloud Bloody Array shattered, without any hesitation, everyone employed their movement techniques and fled in all directions.
At this moment, the Black Cloud Sect was at a disadvantage, but it was only temporary. Who knew how long the Secret Technique displayed by the Great Flame Imperial Family would last?
This moment, with the Black Cloud Bloody Array broken and the Great Flame Imperial Family embattled with the Black Cloud Sect, was the critical time to escape.
Moreover, despite the Great Flame Imperial Family’s current formidable display, their attitude towards the various Sects was anything but friendly. If the Great Flame Imperial Family were to go mad and turn their aggression towards them, it would be a troublesome affair.
Following the breach of the Black Cloud Bloody Array by the Dragon Breath of the Great Flame Imperial Family’s Golden Giant Dragon, another Dragon Breath was unleashed towards Qiu Wenxi and Wang Yangzhe along with other Black Cloud Sect elders.
The power of its Dragon Breath was so immense that even a powerhouse like Qiu Wenxi had no choice but to evade with all his strength.
However, after releasing the first Dragon Breath, the Golden Giant Dragon surprisingly emitted a second breath. With the second Dragon Breath’s expulsion, the Golden Giant Dragon also vanished, and the Dragon Vein Jade Seal in Zhao Zhongtian’s hand cracked immensely, breaking into two pieces instantly.
Immediately, Zhao Zhongtian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion turning as pale as death.
It was evident that his use of the Secret Technique to harness the Power of the Dragon Vein had consumed a great deal.
At this moment, Zhao Zhongtian’s gaze was fixed intently in the direction of the Jade Cauldron Sect, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
Because in Zhao Zhongtian’s view, the entire reason they were ambushed and attacked by the Black Cloud Sect was all caused by the Jade Cauldron Sect.
If it were not for the Jade Cauldron Sect’s refusal to aid them, they would not have fallen to such a plight.
However, Zhao Zhongtian had not considered that if it weren’t for his own coveting of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s Heavenly Top Grade techniques, the Great Flame Imperial Family would not have ended up in this state either.
"Damn it, that bastard Zhao Zhongtian actually directed the second Dragon Breath towards us."
Xu Ma’an looked up at the sky, watching the rapidly approaching powerful Dragon Breath, his complexion turning a ghastly shade of green.
Seeing this, the other Peak Masters felt the same, their hearts turning icy. They had not expected the Great Flame Imperial Family’s hatred towards them to run so deep that they would unleash the second Dragon Breath at them.
If both Dragon Breaths had been aimed at the Black Cloud Sect, perhaps it might have been possible to wipe them out.
Of course, this also required the combined efforts of the other Sects.
With the Black Cloud Bloody Array breached, how could the Demon Cultivators of the Black Cloud Sect possibly survive under the united front of the Seven Sects and other minor Sects?
However, at this moment, each Sect was only thinking about its own survival and had no intention of uniting.
"Sect Leader, all Peak Masters, continue to channel your Spiritual Power into the Great Formation," Lin Chen said, his face showing no sign of panic as he saw the Dragon Breath approaching.
With a flick of the Magic Technique in the hands of his Second Soul Division, the ten Stone Sculpture Puppets immediately changed formation to an offensive stance, and ten beams of light converged in the air, forming a gigantic Light Sword.
"Everyone follow Lin Chen’s orders—concentrate all your power into the Killing Formation," Xu Ma’an commanded, and all the Peak Masters as well as True Disciples complied without hesitation.
After several battles, Lin Chen had now fully become their pillar of support, and they unhesitatingly trusted his decisions.
As all the members of the Jade Cauldron Sect gathered their Spiritual Power, the Killing Formation’s concentrated force unleashed, the Giant Sword clashed violently with the Golden Giant Dragon’s Dragon Breath.
Countless rays of Spiritual Light spread in all directions, yet the Great Formation standing before the Jade Cauldron Sect remained unbroken.
"Great, we blocked it," everyone sighed with relief inwardly at this scene, their faces showed delight, and they looked at Lin Chen with reverence.
"They actually blocked it? Damn it, what kind of formidable Killing Formation is this? Could it be even stronger than the Black Cloud Sect’s Black Cloud Bloody Array?" Zhao Zhongtian’s eyes flared with anger when he saw that the Power of the Dragon Vein’s mighty strike failed to destroy the Jade Cauldron Sect’s Great Formation.
"This old fool’s Secret Technique has failed, haha, what an idiot. Even at this time, he still holds a grudge against the Jade Cauldron Sect."
"It’s like heaven is helping us. If it weren’t for Zhao Zhongtian this idiot shooting that Dragon Breath at the Jade Cauldron Sect, giving us a chance to breathe, those two Dragon Breaths might have seriously injured us to the point where we couldn’t fight back."
"However, it’s a pity he made a very unwise decision."
Qiu Wenxi’s lips curled up into a smile of pleasant surprise. He turned his head to look back at the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Great Flame Imperial Family. Although all Elders of the Black Cloud Sect had sustained some injuries, none was fatal. They immediately turned around and charged at the Great Flame Imperial Family. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIＦire.net
"We can’t stay here any longer, flee!"
Zhao Zhongtian cast a deep glance at Xu Ma’an and others, then rapidly picked a direction and swiftly fled the scene.
He had originally thought that using all of the Power of the Dragon Vein would make repelling the Black Cloud Sect’s members a piece of cake. Bearing a grudge against the Jade Cauldron Sect, he wanted to direct the final blast of Dragon Breath at them. In his view, the Jade Cauldron Sect would surely be critically injured and at death’s door under the Dragon Breath, and then they could simply wipe out all members of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Yet, who would have anticipated such an outcome? Not only did it fail to hurt the Black Cloud Sect’s members, but it also left the Jade Cauldron Sect’s members unscathed. Now, their situation was very dangerous.
"Truly brought disaster on oneself, and as for the people of the other Sects, they’re all a bunch of fools. At this moment, they’re only thinking of escaping, without considering that today could have been an excellent opportunity to eradicate the Black Cloud Sect."
