Immediately, the sword momentum followed the murderous intent.

A single strike forced Only I to retreat in shock, the sword momentum grazing a mere inch from his brow, slicing off a lock of his black hair.

If the sword momentum had been any closer, it would have struck Only I.

At such close range, even with the Mountain-Suppressing Armor, Only I would still be injured by this sword.

No choice, Only I had to retreat.

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart had already lost his mind.

It was impossible to bring him to his senses.

Only I knew very well that this intervention not only failed to awaken Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, but also caused him to harbor resentment against him.

"At this point, there is only one path we can take. Since the junior brother has lost his mind, we can only cooperate with him."

Only I was not a fool; when he realized he was helpless against Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, a new plan quickly formed in his mind.

Du Venerable hurriedly asked, "How do we cooperate?"

"You and I will both use the Vein Technique to clear a path for the junior brother, ensuring that the Sword Array does not attack him," Only I said as the Three Veins trembled together.

A figure wreathed in flames suddenly appeared behind them.

This person held a Flaming Giant Bow, drawing it and setting an arrow, instantly gathering a massive arrow momentum, filling the battlefield with a red glow.

The Flaming Arrow on the Flaming Giant Bow aimed directly at the top of Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's head.

Boom—

The Flaming Arrow was released from the bowstring.

A loud explosion resounded through the heavens.

The Flaming Arrow blazed a path, engulfed in rolling flames, shooting toward the sky, paving the way for Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's Heartless Sword, countering the Gale Sword Array.

Countless Silver Swords, infused with vast Sword Qi, fell and instantly wrapped around the Flaming Arrow, disintegrating it within moments.

However, Only I fired another arrow.

One arrow followed by another.

Continuously!

Du Venerable closely followed, the Meridian Gate trembling in unison. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Different from Only I, he did not shoot arrows; instead, after shaking the Meridian Gate, he stomped on the ground.

Boom!

With a stomp, the ground cracked.

Then the earth began to tremble, as if some monstrous creature were about to emerge.

Boom—

A pillar of red flame ten feet wide shot up from the ground, soaring into the sky, piercing into the Gale Sword Array.

The purpose was also to clear a path for Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's Heartless Sword.

When the two focused their attacks on one point, the pressure on Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart instantly disappeared.

The Gale Sword Array could no longer harm Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart in the slightest, as all the flying swords were blocked by Only I and Du Venerable's attacks.

"Die for me!"

Seeing this, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart increased his sword's descending speed.

One sword light after another shot up to the sky, pursuing Yun Liao, who used the Mirror Lake Barrier to shift locations.

As Yun Liao had just shifted to a new location and hadn't yet settled, the sword light pierced through the Mirror Lake Barrier, shattering it.

If Yun Liao had been a step slower.

He would have been pierced by this Heartless Sword.

Even if unharmed, the Forest Song Magic would have been interrupted.

"Yun Liao, let's see where you can hide now!" Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart thrust down, and the Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword stood upright in front of him.

Boom—

The Meridian Gate shook again.

Three sword lights shot up from the ground, encompassing the Mirror Lake Barrier created by Yun Liao.

Whoosh—

The sword lights soared into the sky.

Three Mirror Lake Barriers shattered in response.

The vast Wood Qi that swirled and gathered towards Yun Liao began to dissipate.

Several drops of fresh blood fell from a shattered Mirror Lake Barrier, caught in the palms of the Only I and Du Venerable.

"Got it!"

"This move is indeed effective."

The two exchanged a glance and immediately pressed the attack.

Their tactics shifted instantly, no longer merely clearing paths and blocking swords for Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, but charging towards the site of the falling blood.

...

Outside the battlefield on the plains.

Jin Busan and his companion, seeing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation had finally stabilized.

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart had mastered the Heartless Sword Dao, allowing him to simultaneously manifest three swords, finally leaving Yun Liao with no place to hide.

Hide?

Keep hiding!

"Things look bad."

Jin Busan muttered softly, then glanced at Pingping beside him, trying to gauge Pingping's reaction.

But Pingping's expression remained unchanged.

He even wore a slight smile.

Why could he still smile?

Jin Busan was utterly perplexed.

"It seems Sect Leader Wen has a lot of confidence in Yun Liao," Jin Busan cautiously remarked.

Pingping casually replied, "I'm confident in everyone from the Immortal Sect. Or hall master Jin can interpret my words this way: I know exactly when they'll lose and when they won't."

"So Sect Leader Wen believes that Yun Liao won't lose?" Jin Busan inwardly grumbled a few words, completely disbelieving Pingping's claim.

Did he really think Yun Liao was unbeatable?

Currently, Yun Liao hadn't used the Sword Spirit, indicating he couldn't use it a second time.

It was by no means what Pingping claimed, where it could be used without limits.

With the Sword Spirit unavailable, what would Yun Liao rely on to win?

Pingping's response showed his impatience: "Hall Master Jin, if you don't believe me next time, then don't ask in the end."

Though I said it, you don't believe it.

Yet you incessantly ask.

If it weren't for leaving you a little dignity, I wouldn't even bother with you.

Pingping's retort left Jin Busan's face suddenly rigid, slowly growing uncomfortable.

Despite his great control over his emotions and expressions, being publicly rebuked by Pingping in front of both the Xuan Court Pavilion and the Yangyang Family left Jin Busan extremely irritated.

But to avoid conflict before cooperation between the Immortal Sect and the Domain Lord's Mansion, Jin Busan held back, nodding to Pingping in agreement.

This nod of agreement left Yunshui in the Sky and the other two uneasy.

Observing Pingping, though appearing unremarkable, they felt a slight awe in their hearts.

This awe had nothing to do with strength.

It was solely because of Pingping's nerve.

In the vast Red Domain, only the Domain Master and Pingping dared to speak to Jin Busan in such a manner.

...

Within the plains battlefield.

Yun Liao's left shoulder had a chunk bitten out by the Heartless Sword, blood streaming out, staining his entire arm red.

Blood dripped from his left fingertips, making Yun Liao's face even colder and paler.

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, witnessing this scene, sneered, "Yun Liao, I didn't expect you to dodge so quickly. But now, let's see where you hide!"

With those words, the Heartless Sword was about to strike again.

Yet Yun Liao, observing this, remained cold.

Watching the assaults of Only I and Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, he swung his magic wand once more.

There was no chanting of a spell.

Which indicated the magic level was very low.

As Yun Liao waved his magic wand, a sharp, piercing screech echoed throughout the air.

This sound was extremely shrill and unpleasant, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

With the sound's emergence, one by one, green goblins dug out from the ground, clutching wooden clubs.

The aura of the green goblins was merely at the Divine Profound Realm.

Despite their vast numbers, such power in this battlefield was as insignificant as returning dust.

Therefore, neither Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart nor Only I paid them any mind.

Then, thousands of goblins swarmed toward the Gale Sword Array, immediately consumed by it.

In an instant, thousands of goblins met their demise.

This left everyone outside the plains battlefield completely stunned.

Not understanding why.
