“Understood!” Cole nodded in agreement.
Swiftly, within the black mist, the assault of the malicious spirit intensified. Seeing the situation, Lauden couldn’t help but yell, “Shield!”
Witnessing the spectacle, dozens of disciples from the Five Great Sects simultaneously unleashed their aura. This created a protective barrier around them, temporarily holding off the onslaught.
They all had to catch their breath. Otherwise, they were truly going to be exhausted to death. There were numerous disciples who were injured, and it was crucial to tend to their wounds as quickly as possible.
It was unfortunate that during this trip, Lauden didn’t bring enough pills. He was utterly incapable of treating his injured disciples.
All they could do was watch as some of the severely injured disciples slowly succumbed to their wounds, dying with a sense of unwillingness.
“Lethal Spirit Sect, if I make it out alive today, I swear I’ll wipe you all out! You despicable cowards, always resorting to sneak attacks!” Lauden roared in frustration.
He was always ready for a real fight, and he wasn’t afraid of these people from Lethal Spirit Sect. He just didn’t expect them to set up an arcane array for an ambush in the polar region.
Lauden had been careless. He hadn’t anticipated that so many members of Lethal Spirit Sect would return there.
“Hahaha! Lauden, you can scream all you want, but it’s useless. You’re not leaving this place today! This arcane array is Lethal Spirit Sect’s final trump card. You should feel honored that we’re using it against you now! The Five Great Sects have relentlessly pursued us for years, never willing to let Lethal Spirit Sect be. Today is a good day to put an end to it all.” Ivan laughed scornfully, his protective arcane array in front of him constantly churning. The eerie wails that echoed were enough to make one’s sanity teeter on the brink of collapse.
The black mist surged more intensely, and the shield of Lauden and his team formed was on the verge of collapsing.
By then, they were at their wits’ end, genuinely left with nothing to rely on.
“Could it be that the heavens intend to destroy our sect? We’ve stayed true to our original intentions, slaying demons and banishing evils. Why must we end up in such a predicament?” Lauden yelled out.
However, that voice was drowned out by the eerie wails.
At that moment, Jared was hurrying over with Keelan.
Jared’s speed had reached its peak as if two balls of fire were blazing beneath his feet.
The void continued to tremble unceasingly, and the entire space was brutally torn apart.
“Mr. Chance… You…” At this moment, Keelan had also observed that Jared was not flying rapidly. Due to the polar environment, it was not suitable for flying.
Jared had seemingly torn through the fabric of space itself, instantaneously shifting from one side of the realm to the other.
Though it was just a fleeting tear, the step taken seemed to span a few kilometers.
Had it not been for the Soulbinding Bead, Keelan was uncertain if his soul remnant could have survived. He feared it would have been long dispersed by the rampant aura that surrounded him.
It was important to note that Jared’s spatial leaps demanded an extremely high level of physical strength. If not, the body would be torn to shreds under such rapid spatial jumps.
“Don’t worry. Everything will be all right,” Jared assured Keelan.
Jared had already mastered Blazing Stride. Although he could only traverse a few kilometers in one step, it was still considered stable. There was no way he could be harmed by the chaotic spatial currents.
Keelan stopped speaking. He could only desperately clutch the Soulbinding Bead, protecting his soul remnant from being dispersed.
At that moment, Lauden and the others, trapped within the arcane array, saw their last shield shatter into pieces with a thunderous crash.
Evidently, they were unable to put up a fight.
“Go for it! Even if it means death! There’s absolutely no backing down!” Lauden knew their fate was sealed, and there was no doubt they were going to die.
The disciples from the Five Great Sects had learned their fate. The dire situation had forced them to unleash their strongest fighting power.
Since they knew they were doomed, they threw caution to the wind.
