Two Spiritual Weapons came flying towards Wang Hong, and two of his Foundation Building subordinates, whose Magical Weapons had been destroyed, followed Wen Lan's example and stood in front of Wang Hong.

As former personal guards of Wang Hong, they were accustomed to standing around their commander, using their bodies as shields to block swords and blades aimed at him.

At the same time, the remaining seven members of Wang Hong's team also arrived.

They summoned their Magical Weapons, and seven Magical Weapons met the two Spiritual Weapons head-on.

During this brief moment, Wang Hong hurriedly retrieved two low-grade Spiritual Weapon Flying Swords from his Storage Bag and handed them to the two Foundation Building subordinates guarding him.

He also pulled out several miscellaneous low-grade Spiritual Weapons and handed them all to one of his Qi Cultivation stage subordinates.

The Magical Weapon of this subordinate had just been shattered moments ago, so Wang Hong instructed him to distribute these weapons to the others.

Although they didn't have time to refine the Spiritual Weapons, their power would be significantly weaker. However, at least they wouldn't shatter like tofu upon impact.

At this moment, nine of Wang Hong's subordinates surrounded him. Two were in the Foundation Building early stage, and the remaining seven were in the Qi Cultivation late stage, temporarily able to hold off the two opponents they faced.

Wang Hong hurriedly approached Wen Lan, carefully examining him. The sword had pierced through his liver and lung.

From the front to the back, there was a fist-sized transparent hole. His breathing had stopped, and upon observing with Divine Sense, his heart was only beating faintly, on the verge of stopping altogether, nearing death.

Wang Hong quickly fed him several healing Pills and guided them into his abdomen with Spiritual Power.

Then, Wang Hong seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and reached into his Storage Bag, taking out a stalk of jade-like Lingzhi.

This item was the Jade Marrow Mushroom, known as a holy healing herb. Unfortunately, it only had a little over four hundred years of medicinal age at the moment, and its effectiveness might be somewhat lacking.

Wang Hong stuffed the entire stalk of Jade Marrow Mushroom into Wen Lan's mouth and also put one in his own mouth.

With the current dire situation, this was the best they could do. Whether Wen Lan would survive or not depended on fate. They had done everything they could; now they had to leave it to destiny.

Wang Hong carried Wen Lan to a corner and then joined the battle.

At this moment, Little Peng was fighting a Foundation Building early-stage cultivator on his own. The cultivator had already lost several chunks of flesh, most likely due to Little Peng's actions.

Meanwhile, Ling Shuai was locked in battle with a Foundation Building late-stage cultivator from the crane faction. His hair was disheveled, and his complexion was deathly pale. It was clear that he couldn't hold on for much longer.

Poisonous Bees had surrounded two Foundation Building early-stage cultivators, who were still attacking the protective barrier.

The two trapped cultivators were frantically slashing at the Poisonous Bees in fear, but the number they killed was insignificant compared to the entire swarm.

The remaining Foundation Building mid-stage and Foundation Building early-stage cultivators were locked in fierce combat with two Foundation Building and seven Qi Cultivation late-stage cultivators. The battle was currently evenly matched.

The cultivator from the crane faction deeply regretted his decision. He regretted coming here for a small gain and launching a surprise attack on the way. With just a few breaths of time, he could have easily killed his target.

In truth, who could have imagined that within this small shop, there were so many Foundation Building cultivators hidden?
This was unexpected for them. It seemed like there was a hidden, unspeakable secret here.

Realizing this, he increased his attack intensity, making it even harder for Ling Shuai to defend himself.

At this point, he summoned a Binding Spirit Rope, which resembled a flexible serpent, and swiftly entangled the Foundation Building early-stage cultivator from the crane faction.

Seeing Wang Hong launching an attack, the crane faction cultivator immediately activated a clock-shaped Spiritual Weapon, hovering above his head.

Then, ripples emanated from the bronze clock, encircling him in the center.

When the Binding Spirit Rope approached, it was unexpectedly repelled by those invisible ripples.

Wang Hong tried several more times, but it remained ineffective. The Binding Spirit Rope, which had been unbeatable against Demonic Beasts earlier, was now powerless against this opponent.

Since he couldn't deal with the highest cultivation level Foundation Building cultivator, Wang Hong withdrew the Binding Spirit Rope, preparing to confront others.

Wang Hong once again summoned the Binding Spirit Rope, swiftly entangling a Foundation Building early-stage cultivator.

The cultivator who had been fighting with Little Peng had accidentally lost another chunk of flesh. Whenever he tried to attack with his Flying Sword, Little Peng easily batted it away with his bird wings.

As he dodged a pair of bird claws, he suddenly felt his leg grow heavy, as if it had been entangled by some kind of vine.

When he scanned his leg with Divine Sense, he discovered a thumb-thick black rope entwined around his leg, rapidly creeping upward.

He immediately tried to recall his Flying Sword and cut the black rope on his leg, but the Flying Sword proved ineffective.

As he desperately hacked away at the increasing black ropes wrapping around him, Little Peng launched a short-distance pounce from above.

The cultivator intended to use his Flying Sword to strike back at Little Peng, but to his surprise, his vision darkened, and Little Peng's figure appeared above him.

Little Peng's claws dug in with force, and the cultivator had no time to react.

"Bang!"

Blood sprayed everywhere as the cultivator's head was instantly shattered into several pieces, making him as dead as could be.

Wang Hong gave Little Peng a thumbs-up from a distance and then pointed at another Foundation Building cultivator, hoping it would understand his intention.

Meanwhile, the two cultivators who were surrounded by Poisonous Bees had their protective barrier finally breached.

A swarm of Poisonous Bees buzzed in, covering their entire bodies within moments.

In just a few breaths of time, both Foundation Building cultivators met their demise.

The crane faction Foundation Building cultivator, witnessing three of his comrades die in an instant, flew into a rage. The radiance on his Flying Sword surged as he struck down Ling Shuai, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Then, the crane faction cultivator's Flying Sword slashed towards Wang Hong. Wang Hong couldn't afford to be careless and quickly thrust his Long Spear forward.

The collision between the Long Spear and the Flying Sword created a tremendous impact, worsening Wang Hong's already recovering injuries, causing him to spit out blood.

After Poisonous Bees had finished off their opponents, they flew toward the crane faction cultivator, surrounding him in a tight circle.

However, whenever Poisonous Bees came into contact with the ripples emitted by the bronze clock, they would be instantly killed or injured.

Gradually, the ground around the crane faction cultivator was littered with the corpses of Poisonous Bees.

Seeing this, the crane faction cultivator laughed heartily and once again swung his Flying Sword towards Wang Hong. With the Poisonous Bees unable to break through his defense, he felt completely at ease.

Otherwise, faced with this dense swarm of Poisonous Bees, he would have been terrified.

He paid no attention to the Poisonous Bees surrounding him and unleashed his Flying Sword, slashing towards Wang Hong. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, he was determined to kill Wang Hong today.

As long as he could slay Wang Hong, the rest of the consequences could be disregarded.
