The battle paused for a while, as they all tried to react to this turn of events, Xu Que was almost pulling his hair in frustration.
He was almost giving up. Just then he came up with an idea and sent a voice transmission towards the sixth stage foundation establishment old man.
The old man's eyes lit up in excitement, he sent out an attack that forced his opponents back and then unleashed an attack towards the young man resisting the fourth stage foundation establishment cultivator.
The others tried to intercept the attack but they were too late, it landed on the young man, sending him flying. He crashed to the ground, seriously injured.
"You!" Duanmu Lin was furious and he unleashed a wave of attacks on the Zhao clan golden core cultivator who struggled to hold on. He couldn't believe Duanmu Lin was a stage below him.
He couldn't help but send a message a transmission to Xu Que to hurry up, no one went to finish off the young man, no one dared to with Duanmu Lin there.
However there was now a chance to get in the formation. The fourth stage foundation establishment cultivator traipsed in followed by two other foundation establishment cultivators, things had gotten dangerous for Wu Tian's family.
They had fought and given their all, was this really it? Was their cultivation journey going to be cut short before it even bloomed?
Xiao Ren stepped forward, his expression serious, the fourth stage foundation establishment cultivator watched him in amusement, wondering what his plan was.
Xiao Ren didn't disappoint and produced a talisman, startling the cultivator. His smile froze, and he looked at Xiao Ren cautiously. Xiao Ren crushed and ignited the talisman which erupted with a dazzling sword attack.
The sword attack bore the aura of sixth stage foundation establishment as it zoomed towards the cultivator. The intruding cultivator gritted his teeth and took out his own talisman. he had a pained expression as he crushed the talisman and produced a shield around him. The shield and the attack collided with a mighty explosion.
After the shockwaves receded the fourth stage cultivator could be seen, he looked extremely miserable. His clothes had been torn, his body was bloody and his aura was fluctuating weakly. He gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Ren with a hateful glare. The killing intent in his gaze was chilling.
Seeing that the talisman didn't kill the enemy, they all knew that it was going to be a dangerous and difficult battle. Lier and Xiao Hua came to Xiao Ren's side and mobilized their weapons. They sent out fierce attacks at the cultivator but he brushed them aside.
Xiao Ren's flying sword, Lier's earth beads and Xiao Hua's vines couldn't reach him. They were either repelled by the fierce sword or the barrier over his body.
The cultivator relaxed and sinister smile appeared on his face. he waved his hand and a fierce attack slammed onto the three, they couldn't even react and were sent flying, their aura fluctuating unsteadily. Wu Tian and the rest of them called worriedly.
Wu Tian moved to interfere but felt the formation wobble as his attention faltered from, the crack where Xu Que was widened perceptibly and he couldn't help but smile smugly.
He could see victory beckoning. In the battle the cultivator attacked again. This time he aimed to eradicate all at the same and earn the reward.
His spiritual energy converged into a dense rain of arrows which he arrayed in the sky. he rained this attack all over them. He included Wu Tian in it, aiming to turn all of them into pin cushions.
Everyone outside couldn't help but feel a sense of pity and misery for Wu Tian's family. They could see that the eight kids were clearly extraordinary geniuses. They were all at least future golden cores at least.
It was a pity that they were going to meet a grisly end before they could grow into their own. The fourth grade foundation establishment cultivator who had attacked couldn't help but feel a thrill, he would get the chance to kill so many talents today. So what if they could fight foundation establishment at qi gathering? Weren't they still going to die by his hand?
Just as he basked in these thoughts he felt a towering pressure emit from the kids he targeted. He could see that behind them, towering phantoms that emitted intense pressure had appeared.
Behind Lier a phantom of a towering suppression mountain could be seen hovering, it emitted a lofty and domineering aura, as if it suppressed all of creation beneath it.
Behind Xiao Hua a tree appeared gently stirring as if a wind but everyone who laid their eyes on it felt as is they could see a heaven spanning tree appear in their minds. Meanwhile behind Xiao Ren there appeared a bright human silhouette, even thought it couldn't be clearly seen, everyone felt that it outshined the sun at the moment.
The appearance of the phantoms made a few people in the know inhale in shock. They actually had spirit bodies and there were three of them.
The three golden core could especially feel their minds reverberate in shock. What were spirit bodies, they were the pinnacle of cultivation talent.
They were basically rarer than a phoenix's tail and a qilin's horns, any one of them that appeared was basically guaranteed to be recruited by the big five sects. And now there were actually three of them? Just who owned this mansion?
Xu Que too felt that perhaps he had been too rash and offended someone he shouldn't. Looking at the three kids their aura had risen explosively after thee phantoms appeared. They were utterly suppressing the fourth stage foundation establishment cultivator.
This seemed to arouse the other kids battle intent and they too erupted with their spirit bodies too, they then pounced on the two remaining cultivators, beating them to a pulp.
Xu Que immediately let go of the formation. A force that had seven spirit bodies was not something he could afford to offend.
He considered the fact that there were no adults who came to stop him, only kids. Could it be that they were using him to temper the preteens.
He immediately decided to make his get away at that moment. He was sure that this was definitely one of those hidden clans. As for transplanting spiritual roots, what a joke! He only hoped that he would make it away with his life.
The foundation establishment cultivators inside the formation despaired as they watched Xu Que let go of the formation. They didn't know of the significance of the phantoms behind the kids but they could tell they had completely decimated Xu Que's will to attack.
