Chapter 234 Rescue
"What happened?" A burly man covered in blood and dressed in tattered clothes stopped ten steps away and asked.
"There are demons using flesh and blood to break the elders' sealing formation. Remember to use a few purification talismans to exterminate the demons," Ning Xiaoxi said calmly. "There's another wave a hundred miles away, the strongest one, with demons and monsters, the highest being mid-level eight. Are there any other Celestial Masters besides you?"
A look of doubt flashed across the muscular man's face. "How did you know there was another wave of demons?"
Ning Xiaoxi was speechless. "Didn't you send out any scouts?"
The muscular man paused, seemingly not having considered the question, and stammered, "We just finished here, we haven't had time yet."
"When will that be? We can't let our guard down until all the demons are eliminated. We can't relax for even a moment. This is war, not a joke." Ning Xiaoxi's voice was very serious. Although she was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen, her cold and solemn demeanor was very intimidating.
"Sun Gao, Feng Pang, go check ahead." The burly man spoke quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two figures flashed out and disappeared swiftly to the west.
The muscular man stood with his hands at his sides. "There should be another group of Celestial Masters to the north. They must have been scattered and gathered together."
"It's getting late. Set up the defenses and warning signs. I'm going to the north to find someone." With that, he took a step and disappeared again.
The burly man looked at the empty space where there was no sign of anyone. So, what was the background of this woman who was following the Tianji officials?
"Brother Yun, what did she say?" A handsome man, whose clothes were still relatively intact and who had only a few drops of blood on his body, walked over and asked.
"She went north to find the remaining Celestial Masters, and told us to rest today. There's another wave of demons a hundred miles away. Tomorrow's battle will be even tougher."
"So, you sent Sun Gao and his men to investigate."
Yun Ge's expression also turned serious. "She said this is war. Xingzhi, we are facing demons, it's a life-or-death struggle, a fight to the death."
The handsome young man's eyes flickered. "Yes, we underestimated our enemy. In just three days, we lost more than half of our men. It wasn't just because our strength was too weak, but also because we didn't have the right mindset."
As soon as Ning Xiaoxi landed, a large hand slammed down. Ning Xiaoxi wielded her Spirit Crystal Western Blade, sweeping it upwards and severing the arm that was about to strike her head. The other hand lifted a frail Celestial Master lying on the ground and flung him away.
His figure flashed again, and the flaming whip, covered in thorns, lashed out at a berserk blood demon.
"Roar!"
A deafening sound rang out, and the four remaining Celestial Masters in the arena swayed and staggered.
The whip wrapped around the Blood Demon's body flared up, and thorns grew wildly inside its body through the gaps in its scales. In an instant, the Blood Demon's body was wrapped in thorns, its neck was entangled, and its throat was fixed, so that it could no longer make a sound.
The whip, carrying the massive body of the raging blood demon, hurled it violently into a sand worm that had opened its massive maw from the ground to devour the four celestial masters. The whip tip spun back, wrapping around the four celestial masters and pulling them out of the sand worm's mouth.
The thick, corrosive blood of the Blood Demon dripped into the sand worm's mouth, causing plumes of smoke to rise. The sand worm frantically twisted its body, trying to shrink back into the sand.
Ning Xiaoxi punched the sandworm's body, unleashing the Heaven-Opening Fist of All Things Returning to One, which slammed directly into the sandworm's soft yet massive form. An explosive aura erupted from the sandworm, and its body began to shatter inch by inch, exploding into a shower of blood and flesh. Ning Xiaoxi held the sandworm's demon core in her hand; a wisp of golden light shimmered on the somewhat murky, earthy-yellow core.
After turning around, a group of no less than ten demons charged directly at her. Ning Xiaoxi's fists roared, shattering stars and destroying the world. The stars under the night sky fell like meteors entering the world, directly hitting the charging demons, smashing their bones and flesh, and striking their demon cores. The demon cores exploded instantly, and for a moment, demonic energy crisscrossed the area.
The four celestial masters were flung off by the whip and landed on the ground. Although they were still a little dizzy, they simultaneously raised the defensive talismans in their hands. Then, a fire dragon roared past and wrapped around a shadow falcon that was about to attack Ning Xiaoxi's back. The shadow falcon cried out shrilly in the flames.
A barrage of fireballs rained down on the pack of wind wolves that had already charged towards them.
A sand wall rose up, blocking the four people and deflecting the sharp wind blades unleashed by the wind wolves.
The last person's body surged with white light, enveloping the three of them and continuously replenishing their spiritual power.
Ning Xiaoxi's hand pierced through the flames and directly into the Shadow Falcon's abdomen, grabbing its demon core that was already gathering power and pulling it out.
The shadow falcon's figure turned to ash in the flames.
The fireball landed among the pack of wind wolves, crushing four wolves in the waist and setting two wolves ablaze. Three wolves dodged the fireball, leaping onto the top of the sand wall and attacking the celestial master, whose body was radiating white light, with lightning speed.
The Spirit Crystal Heart Staff, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, struck the foremost wind wolf squarely in the waist, killing it before it even had a chance to howl. With a sweep to the left and a deflection to the right, the staff sent two more wind wolves flying.
Ning Xiaoxi's figure then appeared where a group of wind wolves had landed. With the Wrath of the Thunder God, she kicked a wind wolf on the head, causing its head to explode.
The fire dragon chased after another wind wolf that had been knocked away, crashing into its body and slamming it directly into the sand dune.
Ning Xiaoxi took out a white demon core from the wind wolf's body, and then drew several purification talismans in the air and dotted them into the corpses scattered all over the ground. The demonic energy surged and was quickly completely purified.
Then she turned to look at the four Taoist masters who were barely standing.
The four remained back-to-back in a defensive stance. The celestial master who was wielding the fire dragon had a face covered in black soot and various unidentifiable things, but his eyes were still bright. He revealed a set of white teeth and said to Ning Xiaoxi, "Thank you for your help, young lady."
Ning Xiaoxi glanced around and said in a slightly deep voice, "Is it just the four of you?"
The man's eyes dimmed slightly, but his voice remained firm, "There are still the four of us."
A smile appeared on Ning Xiaoxi's face beneath the veil. "There are still a dozen or so people to the south. I just came from their side. If there's no one else here, would you like to go and meet up?"
The man bumped his shoulder at the two people on either side, and they quickly responded, "My name is Jing Lei, my younger brother is Jing Lei, Shi Tianyi is an earth elementalist, and Bai Yizhi is a wood elementalist."
Ning Xiaoxi asked curiously, "Why are you, a wood-type, participating in the Western Trials? Oh, my name is Ning Xiaoxi."
The four of them looked very similar, with dark faces and tattered clothes, making it difficult to distinguish them. The man to Jing Lei's left also had a set of white teeth. "We grew up together, so we figured forming a group would be the same."
Jing Lei suddenly called out, "Ning Xiaoxi, are you Ning Shuguan?"
Ning Xiaoxi stared intently. "You know me?" She was participating in a trial; how could she be an official?
