Immortals Step into Heaven

Chapter 166 Team Battle

The sword energy collided with the wall of fire, emitting a deafening roar. The powerful impact spread in all directions, knocking many nearby disciples from both sides to the ground. After performing this move, Shui Changyun's face turned pale as paper, and his body was shaky. Shura Grandmaster Uncle was also in trouble. His wall of fire was pierced by the sword energy, and he himself was injured by the aftermath. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Shui Yinyin got rid of the entanglement of the two Shura Sect disciples and hurried to Shui Changyun, continuously transferring her own spiritual power to him to help him recover.

With both commanders wounded, the frenzy of battle gradually cooled, and the situation once again descended into a delicate stalemate. Both sides awaited their commanders' next instructions, while also secretly plotting how to gain an advantage in this stalemate.

A more astute Shura Sect disciple's eyes flashed, and a plan came to mind. He feigned defeat, deliberately revealing a flaw, luring a Tianshui Sect disciple in for an attack. Just as the two sides were about to engage, he suddenly launched a specially crafted smoke bomb. Instantly, a cloud of acrid smoke filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Shura Sect disciples quietly shifted their formation, attempting a flank attack on the Tianshui Sect.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Tianshui Sect reinforcements immediately cast a spiritual detection spell. Although his vision was obstructed, he was able to roughly sense the Shura Sect disciples' movements. He quickly ordered his disciples to form a defensive circle, concentrating their spiritual energy on the right side of the circle to resist the impending attack. At the same time, he arranged for several disciples skilled in wind magic to cast the Qingfeng technique to try to disperse the smoke.

Shui Changyun regained some strength, nourished by Shui Yinyin's spiritual energy. He stood up and joined Shui Yinyin in the circular formation. Shui Changyun whispered to Shui Yinyin, "The Shura Sect's move is nothing more than a desperate struggle. We just need to hold our ground and wait for the smoke to clear before we can strike back." Shui Yinyin nodded in agreement.

The Shura Sect's assault team gradually approached the Tianshui Sect's circular formation through the smoke, their steps light and silent. However, as the Qingfeng technique took effect, the smoke gradually thinned, revealing the Shura Sect disciples. Seeing this, the Tianshui Sect disciples unleashed their spells. Suddenly, ice arrows, water balls, thunder talismans, and other spells rained down on the Shura Sect's assault team. Not to be outdone, the Shura Sect disciples used black flames as a barrier to force their way forward, and the two sides once again engaged in a fierce battle.

Amid the din of battle, Shui Changyun emerged with his sword, unleashing his Shadow Sword. His figure instantly transformed into several phantoms, weaving through the Shura Sect disciples. Wherever the sword shadows touched, a flash of blood appeared. The Shura Sect disciples were horrified. They tried to target Shui Changyun's true form and attack, but were deceived by the illusions. Shui Yinyin, within the circular formation, continued to cast defensive and spiritual healing spells on the Tianshui Sect disciples. She formed hand seals and chanted a few words. Rays of blue light flew from her hands, enveloping everyone within the circle.

Uncle Shura, the Grandmaster, witnessed Shui Changyun's fierce attack and knew that if he didn't stop it, his raiding party would suffer heavy losses. He endured his injuries and rushed towards Shui Changyun with his sword, black flames once again blazing on the blade. He shouted, "Don't be so arrogant!" and swung his sword at Shui Changyun's phantom. Shui Changyun sensed Uncle Shura's approach and spun, merging several phantoms into one, meeting Uncle Shura's attack.

The swords clashed once more, emitting a resounding resound. The surrounding magical energy surged like surging ocean waves, spreading outward in all directions, sending many engaged disciples reeling from the force. For a moment, Shui Changyun and the Shura Sect Master remained locked in a stalemate, each fighting with all their might. Shui Changyun knew the fight must be ended quickly. He seized the opportunity, tapped his feet, and like a streak of light, he circled behind the Shura Sect Master and unleashed the Tianshui Sect's ultimate move. The tip of his sword flashed with a blinding cold light, striking the Shura Sect Master in the back.

Sensing the deadly threat from behind, Master Shura spun abruptly, using his blade to block the fierce blow. The powerful impact sent him stumbling back several steps, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Shui Changyun's arm went numb from the recoil, but he didn't hesitate. He launched another series of swift attacks, each one targeting Master Shura's vital points.

Under Shui Changyun's pressure, Shura Grandmaster Uncle was gradually losing ground, but his years of combat experience were no pushover. He suddenly dropped his sword, quickly formed hand seals with his hands, and chanted an ancient and obscure incantation. The black flames surrounding him instantly subsided, transforming into a layer of black crystal armor that adhered to his body. Simultaneously, a powerful dark force surged from his feet, holding him steady and resisting Shui Changyun's next attack.

Shui Changyun was startled by this. He knew it must be some secret defensive technique of the Shura Sect. He couldn't attack too long, or else the opponent would recover and the situation would be difficult to control. So he feinted his sword and leaped back several feet, creating distance between him and his uncle-master from the Shura Sect.

By this time, the other disciples of the Tianshui and Shura sects had also become furious, and the battle had entered a white-hot stage. Casualties on both sides continued to mount, and the ground around the Pill Hall had long been stained red with blood, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder.

Uncle Shura, the Shura Sect's uncle, seized this brief moment of respite to pull out a glowing pill from his bosom and swallow it. Within moments, his complexion improved, and his breathing gradually steadied. He picked up his long sword again, his eyes revealing a resolute expression. "Tianshui Sect children, today is your end!" He plunged his long sword into the ground, gripping the hilt with both hands, muttering something. From him, the ground began to crack, black cracks spreading outward. From these, demonic figures, condensed from the power of darkness, emerged, clawing and savagely lunging at the Tianshui Sect disciples.

Shui Changyun hurriedly directed his disciples to defend themselves. Everyone in the Tianshui Sect cast spells, and various lights intertwined in a desperate battle with the demonic shadows. Shui Yinyin approached Shui Changyun and said worriedly, "Brother, these demonic shadows seem endless. This is not a solution." Shui Changyun frowned, and after a moment's thought, he said, "We must find the source of these demonic shadows, that is, Uncle Shura Sect Master. Only by defeating him can we break this trick."

Shui Changyun once again drew his sword and charged at the Shura Sect's Uncle Master. The Shura Sect disciples desperately tried to stop him, leading to a chaotic and brutal melee. Shui Changyun unleashed his full power, his sword strikes like a whirlwind, each strike imbued with powerful spiritual energy, forcing the impeding Shura Sect disciples back. With his nimble movements, he dashed left and right through the crowd, gradually closing in on the Shura Sect's Uncle Master.
