The Way of The Dao

* Slash! *

A small sword pierced horizontally through a large group of spirit beasts, cutting them in two parts when the next moment the same small sword expanded and became dozens of swords radiating lightning.

* Boom! *

The lightning swords pierced through hundreds of spirit beasts in moments, with thunder and lightning spreading among the beasts themselves and electrocuting them. The skins of these ferocious beasts, from fur to hard skins with scales were destroyed by the lightning itself.

An extremely swift figure appeared in front of another group of spirit beasts, he raised his arm and waved the sword he carried without any difficulty, while at once waving his other arm which also carried a second sword. The next moment, the single slash of the two swords pierced through hundreds of spirit beasts in a moment, before more spirit beasts suddenly appeared and attacked.

"Master! I don't think we can control the formation anymore!"

"Elder Deng! More spirit beasts are coming and they are starting to break through the barrier!"

Two voices quickly spread out, reaching the figure.

"I know!"

Deng Tianjin puckered his mouth as he saw the numerous amount of spirit beasts surrounding him, he quickly moved and approached the other guys. The other people behind him were the sect disciples and were within a powerful formation that allowed them to attack and defend, but their strength and energies were beginning to drain, so at any moment they would no longer be able to maintain the formation and would have to face the spirit beasts directly.

"Elder Deng, Junior Brother Du is very tired! And we will no longer be able to maintain the formation!"

A worried female voice reached Deng Tianjin, causing him to turn to look at the disciples. His gaze swept over each of them and then focused on two of them.

The barrier that covered them all from the attacks of the spirit beasts that were attacking them from all sides all the way to the sky began to weaken. The spiritual crystals had been rapidly consumed and everyone's cultivation essences were not enough.

"Yunfeng... Wencheng! I need you to get me a few more moments and protect your junior siblings! ... can you do it?"

Deng Tianjin gritted his teeth and spat out five puffs of blood essence on his swords; he even burned a portion of his cultivation essence. His aura surged and surpassed the boundary of the Golden Core state, breaking the suppression of the place quickly. If he failed to eliminate all the spirit beasts with this next attack, then they would be in grave danger.

Deng Tianjin's figure soared above the formation of all of them, his aura soared into the sky as his spirit sense covered the entire place, enveloping both the disciples and all the ferocious beasts that came rushing over even from afar. Dozens of high-grade swords appeared around him floating leisurely, seeming to dance and spin without stopping.

"Okay, Elder Deng!"

"Yes, master!"

Shi Yunfeng and Wen Wencheng looked at each other seriously and nodded. Spitting out three puffs of blood essence each without hesitation, while burning much of their cultivation essences also without hesitation. Their faces turned completely pale.

"Senior brothers, I will also support you!"

A woman about 17 years old next to them also exclaimed and she immediately took a Chi Recovery Pill. She spat out two puffs of blood essence, turning her face even paler. Her aura strengthened a little more, as she constantly expelled her power.

The barrier that was flickering at once strengthened and solidified even more, easily resisting the various attacks of the ferocious beasts.

"Junior brothers, save your energies so that you can escape!" Shi Yunfeng shouted seriously as he saw that the other brothers were about to burn their blood essences as well.

"But..."

"Senior Brother Shi, I also want to help!"

The other boys were shocked and immediately claimed in despair. Seeing their senior brothers put everything on their side they didn't want to stay behind either. If they had to fight to the end, then they would not abandon their martial siblings and fight as well.

"Do as I say!"

However, Shi Yunfeng yelled coldly as he looked seriously at them. He couldn't stop his younger sister from doing the same since she was quick, but he could stop the other junior brothers from acting, that way they could escape and survive if everything failed while he and his junior martial brother Wen Wencheng bought them time.

The other boys were silent as they listened to Shi Yunfeng and saw his cold and serious expression, so they couldn't help but nod reluctantly as they clenched their fists in helplessness.

"Junior Brother Ge, if everything goes wrong, take Junior Sister Linghu away!" Wen Wencheng shouted at once.

"Senior Brother Wencheng, you dare! I will stay with you to support you too!" Xu Linghu looked coldly at Wen Wencheng, denying that she would abandon them.

"Silence! It's an order from your senior martial brother! And you have to obey it!" Wen Wencheng interrupted her coldly.

"But, senior brother, master can save us as he always has..." Sang Ge replied anxiously before looking skyward at the figure of his master.

"Enough! Master has always saved us, but we can't always depend on him! Master would even sacrifice his life for the sake of saving us, but we don't have to ask him anymore! If there is any way for you to get out alive, Brother Yunfeng and I will buy you time! So take Master and Junior Sister Linghu with you and don't stop!"

Wen Wencheng yelled with a firm and intense tone, leaving no room for debate. If they began to lose their minds and fear and panic overpowered them, then it would be no different from ensuring their own deaths!

This place suppressed everyone equally, so even his master, Deng Tianjin, could fall here as well! Therefore, they have to make sure that he survives with everyone else!bender

Xu Linghu glared angrily at Wen Wencheng but she did not retort, gritting her teeth as she swallowed her anger.

Shi Yunfeng and Wen Wencheng's auras rose rapidly, breaking through the limit of Golden Core state suppression and reaching the power of the Nascent Soul state quickly.

The formation quickly absorbed the forces of the two, reinforcing the barrier around them as it began to expel powerful auras and killing the nearest ferocious beasts as well. This was a defense and attack formation as well, but to use it fully required its users to have large reserves of energy.

The strength of the spirit beasts were on average at the Golden Core stage, but their infinite numbers is what made the danger.

"Guys..."

In the sky, Deng Tianjin listened to the conversation of these sect disciples, in which some of them were his direct disciples, such as Wen Wencheng. If it was the outside, there would be no problem, but now they were inside this mysterious small realm and their strength had also been suppressed and their strongest attacks could not show their full splendor and power, so for the first time in a long time he felt that helplessness and lack of strength again.

Adding strength to the grip of the hilt in his hands, Deng Tianjin closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again with great speed.

The swords floating around Deng Tianjin turned into wisps of spiritual Chi that continued to float around him before blending with his aura completely. His powerful aura that surpassed the power of the Nascent Soul state was greatly reduced, as if it was completely weakened to finally disappear.

"Sword Power... [Sword that Pierces Heaven and Earth]!"

Then, all traces of noise disappeared, not even the roars of the spirit beasts could be heard, much less the stupefactions and breaths of all the boys. The only thing that could be heard perfectly was someone taking a deep breath and then letting out a long slow exhale.

Time seemed to stop briefly when the next moment a small flash in the sky fleetingly crossed over the sky and earth, carrying with it a sharp, metallic sensation.

The countless ferocious spirit beasts that could be seen everywhere turned to dust as this mysterious force completely covered them, making them easily disappear without any difficulty as it stretched all the way to the horizon.
