"Yiyi! Watch out!"
Lan Ming shouted anxiously as she saw Wang Yiyi getting attacked first. The little girl was, after all, a few steps behind them so it was easy for the disciples of the heretical sect and fallen sect to target her first, which might not be good since no one was prepared to have an all-out fight.
Nevertheless, there was no need to be anxious, as the little girl did have a brain and as soon as she noticed sothing was fishy, she beca ready to fight and, of course, also prepared to run behind her sisters.
Li i and they were, after all, powerful so she didn't think there was anything wrong with relying on them.
Clang!
As soon as the disciples attacked, the little girl didn't hesitate and brandished her sword with full force. She even used martial arts techniques, as there was no use in holding back here.
However, even with this, her internal organs shook on the collision and her hands beca numb. The little girl's cultivation was, after all, too low compared to the heretical sect disciples who were at the ninth stage of Qi-refining cultivation.
There was no way she could even take an all-out attack from them; the only reason she was able to defend now was because they had underestimated her, and the little girl saw this so she decided to teach them a lesson, but it now backfired as her strength was too low.
The heretical sect disciple who attacked couldn't help but beco surprised after seeing her defend against his attack; nevertheless, he didn't care too much and attacked once again but with more strength.
Wang Yiyi knew she couldn't fight with him, so she hesitated no more and poured all her strength into her legs to escape.
Swoosh!
It only took a second for her to disappear from her place and appear behind Su Ying, who ca to support her.
Of course, Li i and Lan Ming were there too; however, half of their attention was on the skies, where Ye Chen faced hundreds of cursed arrows.
…
"Even using wood as a bow, how desperate are you all to kill ?" Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle as he saw more than a hundred disciples from heretical and fallen sects holding on to curved tree branches.
Not everyone carries bows with them, so they used so tricks to create one.
However, the cursed arrows were all genuine; clearly, they had co prepared for a big fight.
Everyone also noticed this and felt cold shivers run down their spine. If not for the fact that mystic realms are opening, no one would know about enemies waiting in a group to attack them on the way of the return.
Of course, the elders and sect masters can take care of this but the casualties and loss will be bigger, especially if the genius disciple dies because of such a sneak attack.
Furthermore, the heretical sect and fallen sects are grouped up now. This was really bad news for all righteous powers.
Just as everyone thought of this, their expressions once again changed with horror as Ye Chen was hovering above the staircase, which ant the cursed arrows would land on them as long as nothing ca in the way of it.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hundreds of arrows tore through the air as they aid at Ye Chen from different directions, sealing his escape paths. Furthermore, each arrow had different timing, making it hard to defend at once.
Nevertheless, Ye Chen displayed no panic and took out his tier-2 sword from his spatial ring. The arrows were, after all, just tier-1 and tier-2 so there was no need to fight barehanded this ti.
Boom!
As soon as the sword appeared in his hand, his aura shot up in the sky with a shockwave and the next second his figure beca blurry.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
All the disciples below could only see a red light dancing in the air with sparks as it cut down every cursed arrow without any challenge.
"Fire again! And do this until I tell you to stop!"
Witnessing Ye Chen's actions, the male disciple with a red outfit commanded calmly and like others, he also prepared to shoot an arrow.
However, if one took a close look, they would notice his arrows were slightly different than the normal ones and had an extrely sinister aura around them.
Not only him but there were also a few other disciples hiding in the bushes and forest with the sa arrows.
'Why is the fallen sect so desperate to get rid of Ye Chen?' The male disciple in the red outfit nad Gao Jinhai thought with a puzzled look.
Although the heretical sect and fallen sect looked like they were working together, it was only them—the younger generation inside the mystic realm—who made such a decision just to kill Ye Chen.
Of course, the heretical sect didn't want to group up but after knowing the fallen sects were ready to pay a hefty price, they ca to an agreent and decided to attack after Ye Chen gets here.
They could've waited for Ye Chen to climb up the staircases, but it would be hard to hit him with arrows the higher he goes up; furthermore, they couldn't seal his escape paths like now, so they decided to take action.
It's just that Gao Jinhai was baffled at how the fallen sect disciples were after Ye Chen's life, as if he had stolen the wife of their sect master.
'This might be really true with Ye Chen's face in consideration.' Gao Jinhai said to himself, feeling a little dissatisfied.
He was also handso and had a good body, but it was nowhere near as good as Ye Chen's.
"Well, you are going to die now," he said to himself and, without any hesitation, released the special arrow from his bow.
SWOOSH!
The special arrow cut through the air like a streak of lightning as it locked on the red light dancing in the sky.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
It was at this mont more special arrows were shot, sealing Ye Chen's path once again and this ti he couldn't even deflect them one by one.
The disciples with sharp eyes noticed this and their expression changed drastically. Even though many disliked Ye Chen, no one would want him to die at such a critical mont. After all, many would certainly perish in the hands of heretical and fallen sect disciples if that happened.
Just as everyone worried for Ye Chen's well-being, Li i and others were also anxious, even the little girl Wang Yiyi.
"Fatty, go and help Senior Brother leave these bastards to !" Li i beca impatient as she commanded Li Zhenyuan, who ca to help.
However, before he could speak, a voice echoed in their heads.
"No need; just take care of the heretical and fallen sect disciples on the staircase; there are a lot of them, and many are hiding so be careful."
Ye Chen transmitted his voice through spiritual Qi as he heard their conversations. He was also keeping an eye on them so nothing would go wrong.
As for the special arrows that were coming to take his life, he honestly couldn't do anything. His speed was not as fast as theirs; furthermore, turning his body into a weapon would have no effect here.
'Looks like I have no choice but to use that,' he thought to himself with a sigh and just as he was about to use his trump card, a voice rang in his ears.
"Brother Ye Chen, avoid those arrows at any cost! They are vitality-draining arrows; once hit by them, you will lose a few years of vitality! In the worst case, you might even die!"
Crown Prince Ji Feng shouted loudly in warning, making everyone's expression grave.
He wanted to use spiritual Qi to transmit his voice; however, the spiritual Qi up there was in chaos, making it hard for him to do this. Furthermore, he had just broken through the Qi-refining stage so the new ability to transmit voice through spiritual Qi wasn't mastered fully yet.
Only Ye Chen could do sothing impossible at the ninth stage of Qi-gathering.
…
As soon as Ye Chen heard the warning of the crown prince, he imdiately changed his decision of using the trump card and ca to a stop.
His actions dumbfound everyone; however, before anyone could say anything again, ten sinister arrows closed upon him from different directions.
Now no matter what Ye Chen did, he had to take at least six arrows while the remaining ones restricted his movents. If he tries to dodge, the number of arrows he has to take will only increase.
However, despite this, Ye Chen remained calm and if anyone could take a closer look, they would notice a faint green aura spreading in all directions and as soon as the sinister arrows ca in contact with the green aura, it devoured the green aura greedily.
Only after seeing this did Ye Chen finally give up on using his trump card and stood in the air foolishly.
…
"Hehe, I said you will pay the price for taking my things!" Chang Bai, who was miles away from 'Heavens Staircase,' laughed sinisterly as he looked in the direction of Ye Chen. If anyone was here, they would notice his hand covered with strange, dark, squirming symbols.
