Tan Yuan was also a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Unfortunately, he had fought for too long before and exhausted his spiritual energy, so he was utterly powerless to resist.

Waves of ferocious beasts surged into the formation one after another, their screams echoing in a continuous torrent.

Tan Yuan grabbed a petite female cultivator, "Lin Xi, you have good footwork. I'll cover you when we break through the formation, go to Bi Shui Town and send a message!"

The female cultivator named Lin Xi had three blood-stained wounds on her face, deep enough to be seen to the bone.

After hearing this, she didn't even frown, and firmly replied: "Senior Brother Tan, as long as we can set up the formation, I will definitely bring reinforcements from Bi Shui Town!"

Tan Yuan covered his chest, which was bleeding profusely, and said solemnly: "No! Tell them to stay in Bi Shui Town and not come out!"

"What?!" Lin Xi was greatly puzzled.

Tan Yuan's brows were tightly furrowed. "If they aren't Golden Core cultivators, coming here is basically a death sentence. It's better to tell them to stay safely within the barrier and avoid being ambushed by these demonic cultivators."

"But, senior brother…" Lin Xi didn't agree with Tan Yuan's words.

Doesn't this mean they have to give up their lives?

"Okay, that's enough!"

"Caution!"

A raging inferno surged forward, Tan Yuan grabbed Lin Xi's arm, rolling with her on the ground a few times. The long sword in his hand suddenly blazed with lightning.

Lightning crackled around the blade, flashing with destructive energy.

A sudden bolt of lightning ripped through the swirling clouds, followed by a terrifying wave of pressure that descended upon everything.

Tan Yuan's cultivation base skyrocketed from the late stage of foundation building to the golden core realm in an instant.

The lightning blade in his hand hummed with deadly intent, its cold light flashing as it cleaved the sky with thunder and tore through the darkness.

Lin Xi crawled up from the ground, looking at Tan Cheng in astonishment, "Senior Brother Tan!"

Forcing the potential, short-term can improve cultivation level, but the consequences are endless!

"Go!" Tan Yuan's face remained calm, but blood was flowing profusely from his chest.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, a gap was torn in the formation.

Lin Xi cast a spell with tears in her eyes, her figure flashed like lightning and disappeared instantly.

An outside controlling formation's cultivator noticed someone escaping and gave his companion a knowing glance. Immediately, a Foundation Establishment mid-stage black robed cultivator followed after him.

He continued to control the formation, merging the gap Tan Yuan had split open. He waited patiently for this group of sect cultivators to be torn apart by the ferocious beasts.

If it weren't for the arrival of a Golden Core cultivator, this formation would be their burial ground.

With the help of the Sky-Reaching Green Vines, Lin Qi and Tan Yueqing flew rapidly toward where Senior Brother Tan and the others were located.

Tongtian Lvteng kindly reported the situation to them.

"A female cultivator escaped from the formation, but a foundation-building demonic cultivator was chasing after her. She's probably going to die."

"Your senior brother used forbidden techniques, damaging his foundation. He's now on his last breath."

"Oh, another batch of ferocious beasts has entered the formation. A few people are struggling to hold on, I estimate we have at most half an incense stick's time left."

"Shut up!" a gritted-teeth snarl erupted.

It's not from Lin Qi, but from the always taciturn Tan Yueqing.

The Heavenly Green Vine felt a chill seep through its back, and it quickly shut its mouth in fright.

Lin Qi's usual scolding only made it defiant for a while. When Tan Yueqing spoke, it felt a chill run down its spine.

Because she might really get furious.

Lin Qi: "Where is the senior sister who escaped? Let's go find her first."

The Old Man, Tongtian Green Vine, spoke honestly: "It's just three hundred meters ahead."

No sooner had the voice fallen than a cool wind swept past, and Dan Yue's ethereal figure vanished from sight.

Lin Qi only managed to whisper, "Be careful of the time limit on the hidden spirit ring!"

I don't know if Tan Yueqing heard.

I had a short update today, only a thousand words. I'll make up for it when I have the chance.
