Rustling leaves brushed against Lin Jiancheng's face, leaving several cuts on his skin. He tumbled and landed several yards away. Due to his lower cultivation level, he was gradually being overwhelmed by Jiang Ying.

"Why have you stopped?" Jiang Ying approached with a smile, her demeanor relaxed. "Not going to continue? Planning to escape?"

Lin Jiancheng gritted his teeth. These demonic cultivators were shameless and took shortcuts, so they naturally advanced much faster than the disciples of the Immortal Gate. Moreover, the Demon Lord's left and right protectors were of the same generation as his master—Bai Yun Sect's Sect Leader, Bu Donghou. It was only natural that he couldn't match them alone.

A true man knows when to bend and when to stretch. If he couldn't win today, he would cultivate diligently and seek revenge another day.

Lin Jiancheng persuaded himself and glared fiercely. "Bring it on!"

With that, he swung out several sword energies.

These sword energies were more imposing than powerful. Jiang Ying easily dispersed them with a wave.

Thinking that this proud disciple of Bai Yun Sect had some backbone, Jiang Ying was surprised to see Lin Jiancheng suddenly turn and run.

Jiang Ying: "..."

Ah, this is how the disciples of the Immortal Gate behave.

Shifting her gaze from Lin Jiancheng's retreating figure, Jiang Ying pondered if Ren Qingyue had already run far enough.

"Roar!"

The jade beast roared as it lunged at Feng Jin.

Feng Jin, holding the Qing Shuang arrow, pulled the bow steadily and shot an arrow that exploded the beast's head.

The mangled body of the jade beast fell from the sky, smashing into pieces on the ground. But more jade beasts gathered, forming an eight-trigram formation to surround her. With only a bow in hand, she couldn't eliminate all the beasts at once.

The situation was dire, and Lei Shuang seemed to have disappeared.

Feng Jin silently noted this debt and vowed to give Lei Shuang a piece of her mind once she left the cave.

Another arrow was shot, shattering the head of one jade beast and continuing to strike another behind it.

Three of the eight jade beasts were down, but the remaining five suddenly sprang into action, charging from different directions.

Feng Jin drew her shoulders back and pulled the bow, each arrow shot steadily, and she released four arrows, all hitting their marks.

For the last arrow, the bowstring was barely pulled back, not fully charged, when a jade beast lunged at her with its mouth wide open, nearly able to swallow half of her body.

Before she could release the arrow, the beast's sharp teeth were already inches from her face.

Feng Jin's heart sank. In the blink of an eye, she made a choice, protecting her arms and turning to shield her back from the impending attack.

Instead of feeling the beast's bite, a strong wind surged, followed by a dull thud.

Feng Jin turned around to see the jade beast had been sliced into several pieces by a wind blade, falling to the ground shattered.

At the same time, a young man in green robes appeared outside the formation.

The young man, holding a jade fan, approached with a graceful demeanor and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
