Within the mountain protection formation, Huo Fentian stood at the forefront, his golden-red robe stained with blood, some of it his own and some of his enemy’s.
Behind him, more than a dozen Earth Fire Pavilion elders were all injured and their auras were weak.
Further away in the square, there were only less than a hundred fighting-capable disciples left, and most of them were covered in wounds.
The three-day siege resulted in heavy losses for the Earthfire Pavilion.
Originally there were nearly a thousand disciples, but now only one in ten remained.
Had the mountain-protecting formation not relied on the Heart of Earth Fire, which had nearly limitless energy, it would have been broken long ago.
“dream!”
Huo Fentian’s eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse yet firm: “Our Flame Pavilion has stood for three thousand years and has never had a traitor! Even if we fight to the last man, we will never bow to you evil heretics!”
“Stubborn and wayward”.
The Deputy Master of the Bone Demon Hall shook his head, his tone tinged with regret, but his eyes were as cold as a knife. “Since you are determined to die, then I will grant your wish.”
He slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently clenched them towards the mountain protection formation.
“Bone Prison: Various Phenomena”
“Crack, crack”
The ground shook violently, and countless white bone thorns emerged from the ground, each one as thick as a water bucket and tens of feet long!
The bone spurs twisted and grew like living creatures, instantly covering every inch of the ground outside the mountain protection formation, forming a terrifying forest of bones!
Even more terrifying, these bone thorns began to attack the mountain protection formation with a raging force.
They collided, pierced, and tangled together, each attack causing the light shield to shake violently, and cracks to spread at a visible speed!
“Hold on! You have to hold on!”
An elder roared, burning his life essence to inject immortal power into the core of the formation.
The other elders followed their lead, and over a dozen red rays shot into the sky, converging to form a mountain protection formation.
The light shield was somewhat stable for a while, but everyone knew that this was only a temporary solution.
Burning one’s life essence was the same as overdrawing life force.
If this continued, all the elders would be exhausted within half an hour.
“It’s useless.”
The voice of the Vice Master of the Soul Extinction Hall resounded directly in everyone’s minds, cold and sinister, “The trapped beast’s struggle will only increase its suffering. Why not just surrender, and I can let you die quickly.”
Before he finished speaking, the gray mist suddenly dispersed, turning into countless fine threads that seeped in through the gaps in the mountain protection formation!
“Ah……!”
Several disciples of the Earth Fire Pavilion were entangled in gray silk, letting out shrill screams.
Their bodies shrank at a perceptible rate, their life force drained rapidly, and eventually they collapsed into mummies.
Their souls were pulled out by the gray threads and absorbed into the Vice Master of the Soul Extermination Hall, becoming part of his power.
“You beast!”
Huo Fantian’s eyes were bloodshot, and he slapped the gray threads with his palm.
Fiery red flames emerged, burning the ashes into blue smoke.
However, more and more gray threads were seeping in through the cracks, something that was impossible to prevent.
Despair, like a frozen wave of ice, enveloped everyone’s hearts.
“Everything is over…” A young disciple fell to his knees, sobbing bitterly, “We will all die here…”
“That mountain protection formation won’t be able to withstand it.”
Another elder, with tears streaming down his face, shouted, “Sect Leader, please take the princess and escape! We will fight to the death to buy time!”
Huo Fentian smiled bitterly: “Escape? Where should we escape to? Since the Evil Path Palace has appeared in full force, they won’t give us a way out.”
He stared into the depths of the Earth Fire Pavilion, complex emotions flashing in his eyes: “I only hope that David and Ling’er can escape this catastrophe.”
As soon as those words were spoken, a sharp crack suddenly sounded from the center of the mountain protection formation.
“Broken!”
A huge crack ran from top to bottom, like broken glass.
Then, the second crack, the third crack spread like a spider web!
The mountain protection formation had been breached!
“finish off!”
The Demon Soul Sect’s Vice Hall Master’s eyes blazed with murderous lust. “Don’t leave anyone alive!”
“Kill!” Thousands of Evil Path Palace cultivators stormed the Earth Fire Pavilion’s mountain gate like a tidal wave.
Huo Fentian took a deep breath, his body engulfed in flames: “Disciples of the Earth Fire Pavilion, obey my orders! Fight to the death!”
“Fight to the death!” The surviving disciples roared in a tragic and heroic manner, preparing for a final, desperate struggle.
Just then!
“roar!!!”
A deafening dragon roar resounded from the depths of the Earth Fire Pavilion!
The dragon roar was high-pitched, majestic, and sacred, containing an undeniable majestic pressure!
