Chapter 422
Help from below
When the sect master and the rest arrived, they didn't have ti to help Elder Qin Zhilan with her wounds, as Yang Qing remained relentless in his attacks.
Even with them swarming him, he just kept switching targets. The speed with which he acted and reacted was unmatched, to the point that so of the weaker mbers like Fu Ning and Su Ju had difficulty tracking him. Which was a major disadvantage for them as they started accumulating injuries by the dozens with every second that passed by.
Then there were the white lightning flas. They were the furthest thing from ordinary flas. The white fla ate away at their yin qi while the white lightning exerted maximum damage on their body at the fastest speed it could while leaving a paralyzing effect on their bodies causing delays in their reactions, which Yang Qing was all too quick to capitalize on.
This was why even with all seven of them ganging up on him, they still failed to injure him and the only people who seed to remotely be able to keep up with him were sect master Zhao Ju, and Guo i, with the latter struggling horribly with every passing mont.
Qin Zhilan would have been able to share in the burden but she had effectively been taken out of commission with her dismbered hand. She could regrow another limb with the high vitality afforded to a palace realm expert, however, she didn't have the room to do it, and even if she did, the white lightning fla eating away at her wounds, suppressed any healing asures, which was why she was still bleeding while being charred, as she desperately held her half-lted whip with her non-dominant hand.
Two minutes passed by but to the elders and sect master of the Ice Erald Sec, it seed like they had been fighting for a week non-stop. Their hair was sticking to their scalps and faces were drenched in sweat, their breathing was ragged, and their bodies were riddled with severe injuries from burns that revealed bone that was charred black. Not a single part of their body seed to have been left unscathed.
The weaker mbers; Fu Ning, Su Ju, and Mo Xiang seed to be barely hanging on. Within those two minutes, they had accumulated the worst injuries with Su Ju having a burning hole through her stomach, that was constantly leaking out blood, while Mo Xian had been blinded and had half her left face burned to the bone.
As for Fu Ning, she looked more corpse than human. Her whole body had been burned up that she looked like a human charcoal. There were flashes of lightning blazing around her body which caused her to spasm. With her droopy eyes, and fading labored breath, she looked to just be hanging on by a thread and didn't have long.
The damage to the three elders would have been worse had the sect master and the three senior elders of the sect not stepped in for them, which cost them sothing.
Deng Yaozu who had been watching all this from below was frozen with disbelief as she watched her sect mates get single-handedly demolished by one person. Her skin had started turning beet red because the smoldering heat from above had started affecting the ground below.
Her and the other quasi-palace stage elder could now distinctly feel what their sect mbers had been subjected to. The flas that sought to purify everything while at the sa ti extinguishing everything out of existence.
If just the remnant effects of that fla were hot to this extent, Deng Yaouz shuddered to imagine what it felt like to actually be hit by it. The thought sent shivers through her all body.
She quickly circulated the Erald frost flow veiled scripture to get rid of the remnant effects caused by the fla above her.
"Even our technique fad for its defense, is struggling this much against those flas?!" she wondered still struggling to believe or understand what was happening above her.
The erald frost flow veiled scripture gave those who cultivated it a sturdy defense by forming a thin crystalline armor on their skin that was as strong as any low tier defensive monarch-grade artifact, and that sturdiness increased, with the more proficiency one had in the technique.
The protection didn't just stop there, as it even extended to their bones, internal organs, and even qi.
With it, they could sink their whole body into a volcano of lava and remain unaffected without even as much as surface burns. They could ignore the heat completely and even suppress it, which was how they had been able to compete with opposing sects that tried to use Yang-based arts to counter them.
Never in all her years had she seen what she saw today. A complete and thorough suppression that made it seem as if the sect master and the rest of the elders had not cultivated the scripture and were instead defending the flas using mortal bodies.
Her eyes seed cloudy as she looked up at the motes of white flas that had covered the skies above, and the mirage that was forming because of the intense heat present above and the sll of burnt flesh that was drowned out by the thunderous clashes going on above her, and the painful screams of her fellow elders.
...
"Sect master we can't keep going like this. Just a few minutes have passed!! any more of this and we will all be burned alive within ten minutes!! We don't even have the room to use the array.." Guo i said using a secret transmission.
Sect master Zhao Ju seed like she didn't hear Guo i as she continuously charged in trying to prevent Yang Qing from causing more damage to her elders.
It was only after a few seconds had passed, did she reply,
"The founder is about to act with the help of the tree. She's about to use the sanguine doppelganger array..."
