Immortals Step into Heaven

Chapter 165: Foundation Building and Support

The disciples of Tianshui Sect were unmoved and shouted in unison, "You, the Shura Sect, took the initiative to provoke us, and now you want to retreat? How can you get away with it so easily?"

Siqin heard the commotion and was furious. These disciples' retreat was undoubtedly shaking the morale of the army. She continued to confront Shui Changyun, shouting, "If anyone dares to desert again, don't blame me for being merciless!" The disciples who wanted to escape couldn't help but tremble when they heard Siqin's angry shouts. They knew Siqin's cruel methods and dared not move again.

Shui Changyun, taking advantage of Siqin's distraction, quietly gathered his spiritual energy, preparing to launch a new attack. He reasoned that if he could seize this opportunity to break the deadlock, perhaps he could turn the tide of the battle. Shui Yinyin also silently cooperated, manipulating the surrounding water vapor, slowly drawing it closer to Siqin, attempting to disrupt her vision and movements.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a sudden clatter of footsteps and shouts could be heard outside the Pill Hall. It turned out to be reinforcements from the Tianshui Sect, a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Shura Zong, Siqin and others were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

The Tianshui Sect's reinforcements quickly dispersed, surrounding the Shura Sect. A Foundation Establishment cultivator in the lead, his gaze stern, scanned the area, and said in a deep voice, "Shura Sect, you're provoking a dispute here for no reason. Do you think our Tianshui Sect is easy to bully?" Siqin gritted her teeth and feigned composure, saying, "In this secret realm, treasures are revealed, and each one fights for them based on their own abilities. How can you say you're provoking a dispute for no reason?" The Tianshui Sect's reinforcement leader snorted coldly. "You were the first to attack our Tianshui Sect disciples, and you even attempted to seize the treasures of the Pill Hall. Now that we're surrounded, you still dare to argue!"

At this point, Shui Changyun withdrew, leaving Shui Ling to guard. He breathed a sigh of relief. Though still exhausted, the arrival of reinforcements boosted his confidence. He stepped forward, saluted the leader of the reinforcements, and said, "Thank you, brothers, for arriving so promptly. If it had been any later, we wouldn't have been able to hold on." The leader nodded slightly, motioning for him to withdraw and rest.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the disciples of Shura Sect came closer. Siqin thought quickly about the countermeasures. She knew that it would be difficult to win by fighting hard today. With a flicker in her eyes,

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in front of the door. A group of Shura Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators came. Siqin was overjoyed to see her fellow uncle.

Seeing her fellow uncle, Siqin was overjoyed. She hurriedly called out, bowing respectfully, "Uncle, you've arrived just in time! Reinforcements from the Tianshui Sect have arrived, and we're in dire straits." The Shura Sect's uncles looked grim. The leader swept his gaze across the room and said in a deep voice, "The Tianshui Sect is so aggressive. Do you really think you can bully the Shura Sect?" With that, a powerful spiritual energy emanated from him, revealing that he was also a highly skilled cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Seeing this, the leader of the Tianshui Sect reinforcements frowned slightly, secretly alert in his heart. "Xura Sect, do not try to cause trouble again, otherwise today will be the day of your destruction." However, the Shura Sect's uncle was not afraid at all, and sneered, "It is still unknown who will win." After that, he waved his hand, and the Shura Sect's foundation-building cultivators behind him quickly dispersed.

A standoff formed with the Tianshui Sect. The cultivators on the Tianshui Sect side also did not retreat, tightly grasping their magic weapons and staring at the other side with a firm gaze. Shui Changyun took a deep breath and forced himself to be stronger. He knew that this battle would be more brutal than the previous one.

Shui Yinyin quietly approached Shui Changyun and whispered, "Brother, the situation is dire right now. We must be careful." Shui Changyun nodded slightly and replied, "Well, don't panic. We have reinforcements. We can fight. Let's see how they act."

The two sides remained deadlocked, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder. Suddenly, the Shura Sect's uncle took the initiative, unleashing a long black sword, its blade instantly engulfed in black flames. With lightning speed, he rushed towards the leader of the Tianshui Sect reinforcements. The Tianshui Sect leader snorted coldly, shifting his hand gestures, and a massive water shield appeared before him. He then directed the monks behind him to attack. In an instant, a variety of magical lights intersected, and balls of water, fire, wind blades, and lightning arcs collided in mid-air, emitting deafening explosions.

During this fierce clash of spells, a young cultivator from the Tianshui Sect was struck by a streak of black flame, instantly letting out a painful scream. His clothes were singed, and his skin was severely burned. Seeing this, Shui Changyun's eyes flashed with anger. Regardless of his own fatigue, he rushed towards the Shura Sect Master with sword drawn.

Shui Yinyin cast a supporting spell from behind. Rays of aquamarine light flew from her hands, blessing the Tianshui Sect cultivators and enhancing their defense and spiritual power recovery. The Shura Sect disciples were not to be outdone, forming formations to resist the Tianshui Sect's attacks or casting strange spells for sneak attacks.

The battlefield grew increasingly chaotic. The Pill Hall began to crumble under the powerful onslaught of spiritual energy. Tiles from the roof continuously fell, and cracks appeared on the walls. Both sides were furious. This was no longer just a fight for treasure, but also for the dignity and honor of their sects.

Shui Changyun unleashed the exquisite swordsmanship of the Tianshui Sect. Several sword shadows flashed, his sword like a nimble fish, weaving through the black flames, emitting streams of blue spiritual energy as he charged towards the Shura Sect's Uncle Master. The Shura Sect's Uncle Master remained calm. He swung his long sword across the sky, muttering something to himself. The black flames instantly transformed into a massive flaming python, which lunged at Shui Changyun with bared fangs and claws. Shui Changyun dodged the python's attack, and simultaneously, his sword's magical power erupted, sending several slashes of sword energy slashing at the python, temporarily forcing it back.

Elsewhere, Shui Yinyin was targeted by two Shura Sect disciples. Using a concealing spell, they quietly approached her, attempting a sneak attack. Just as they were about to strike, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Tianshui Sect noticed something was amiss and promptly cast a water curtain to shield Shui Yinyin. They then engaged the two Shura Sect disciples in a fierce battle.

The battle between Shui Changyun and his uncle Shura Sect master intensified, each exchange drawing a surge of spiritual energy from the surroundings. Knowing his uncle's immense strength, Shui Changyun decided to take a risk. He secretly concentrated all his spiritual energy, preparing. While this move was powerful, it also consumed a significant amount of his own spiritual energy. Once unleashed, he would struggle to maintain his energy.

As if sensing danger, Grandmaster Shura swung his long sword even more swiftly, black flames surging toward Shui Changyun like a tide, attempting to interrupt his accumulated power. At this critical moment, Shui Changyun shouted, and the blue light on the sword suddenly surged, transforming into a massive aquamarine sword energy that rushed towards Grandmaster Shura like a rainbow piercing the sun. Grandmaster Shura's expression changed, and he concentrated all his strength to gather the black flames in front of him, forming a thick wall of fire.
