Enraged, Daoist Qingde displayed a terrifying level of strength. After killing one of the Ghostly Visage Ghost Whiskers, the other two Heavenly Connection realm Ghostly Visage Ghost Whiskers and Meat-Winged Monster were greatly shocked and realized this man should not be provoked. They immediately joined forces to confront Daoist Qingde.

    Yet, with his Wufeng stone sword, Daoist Qingde was able to suppress these two creatures from the Yi Tribe. At this time, on the other side, two Heavenly Connection realm elders from the Human Race were ambushed by four Meat-Winged Monsters, screaming in horror as they were entangled by Netherworld creatures and dragged into the river of souls, meeting their demise at once!

    After killing the two human experts, the four Heavenly Connection realm Meat-Winged Monsters immediately turned their attention to Daoist Qingde. Not only that, the two Human Race elders who perished in the Netherworld water transformed into Netherworld beasts with immense strength. Gradually losing their sanity, they began to wreak havoc on their own kind.

    Suddenly, Daoist Qingde found himself besieged by eight Heavenly Connection realm experts. Even with his late-stage Heavenly Connection realm ability, he soon began to falter, retreating step by step under the onslaught.

    Boom! Boom!

    Red tentacles and Netherworld water twisted in the air, encircling Daoist Qingde. These monsters collaborated closely, creating spiritual power fluctuations that were truly terrifying. In the heart of the island, Daoist Qingde knew he had to ensure his fight with these monsters wouldn''t affect everyone else; thus, he controlled his Spiritual Power, which made him even more constrained in battle.

    Whoosh!

    Seven or eight powerful Netherworld beasts roared and lunged at Daoist Qingde, engaging in a fight to the death since they had already died once and feared nothing. Even as the Wufeng stone sword slew them, the creatures behind fearlessly pressed on.

    The stone sword in Daoist Qingde''s hand flashed with a green gleam as Sword Qi slashed everywhere. Below was the island where countless humans were locked in combat with the remaining Yi Tribe. He could completely eliminate the Netherworld beasts before him with a full-force strike, but those people below would be caught in the crossfire. Left with no choice, he directed the edge of his sword elsewhere, giving another Ghostly Visage Ghost Whiskers the chance to strike. Its red tentacles, strong as iron, slammed into Daoist Qingde.

    Splurt!

    Daoist Qingde''s ribs broke in several places, his blood pouring freely. Clenching his teeth, he was suddenly pounced upon from behind by another Netherworld beast, which bared its sharp teeth at Daoist Qingde''s neck.

    But at that moment, golden Formation patterns surged upwards, blocking the creature. As the beast''s fanged teeth touched the golden Formation, the patterns rapidly spread across its body, causing its bite to pause momentarily.

    This beast was of the Heavenly Connection realm and stronger than Xiang Beifei; it immediately began to resist this binding power. However, it gave Daoist Qingde the chance to react. With a sweep of Wufeng, the Netherworld beast was cleaved into dust.

    "I''ve got your back!"

    Xiang Beifei''s voice rang out beside Daoist Qingde''s ear, and soon after, the Formation of the Floating Immortal Isles, carrying golden patterns, appeared in front of them, separating their battleground so the spiritual power of the fight would not reach the people below.

    Surprise flickered in Daoist Qingde''s eyes as he now saw Xiang Beifei holding a brick, astonished by his abilities. However, without time to ponder further, his spirits lifted, and the Sword Qi of Wufeng surged anew!

    Hum!

    Daoist Qingde once again shattered a Netherworld beast, the scattering Sword Qi spreading towards the crowd below, but soon, golden Formation patterns swirled in the air catching these strands.

    The power of the late-stage Heavenly Connection realm was formidable. Even the residual waves of Sword Qi were formidable, and not even the brick''s golden Formation could completely withstand them. Nonetheless, the Formation weakened their might, which then fell onto a mass of black and white Spiritual Power that went on to further dissolve the Sword Qi.

    By the time the Sword Qi passed through the black and white Spiritual Power, its dispersal had weakened to nothing more than a strong breeze, harmless to the people below.

    "Unleash your full strength!" shouted Xiang Beifei.

    Confident that Xiang Beifei could handle the residual Sword Qi, Daoist Qingde''s eyes brightened. No longer holding back, his expression filled with murderous intent, he lunged at one of the Meat-Winged Monsters!

    Rustle!

    Another Meat-Winged Monster was torn apart and devoured by its own Netherworld water!

    Once Daoist Qingde could fight unhindered, his momentum surged, and he began to turn the tide against the eight or nine Heavenly Connection realm experts.

    "Incredible!"

    Xiang Beifei couldn''t help but inwardly exclaim as he watched Daoist Qingde fight more and more valiantly. Such a battle was beyond his current level of Cultivation; he could only rely on Daoist Qingde himself to resolve it. Yet after a moment''s consideration, he turned his gaze to other Meat-Winged Monsters and Ghostly Visage Ghost Whiskers elsewhere on the island.

    Numerous Yi Tribe members remained on the island, striking without restraint to annihilate the Human Race, but the Cultivators had to protect their people, thus fighting with their hands tied and suffering heavy casualties.

    Xiang Beifei immediately began manipulating his black and white Spiritual Power to attempt to transform the Sword Qi overflow from Daoist Qingde.

    Counter-strike!

    The Cultivation Technique taught to him by Professor Guo was modified by his black and white Spiritual Power, and put into full effect.

    The stray Sword Qi was potent; a complete counter-strike was impractical. Therefore, he filtered a portion of the lethal intent with his black and white Spiritual Power to the extent that he could bear, then used the flow of Spiritual Power to start converting it into his own offensive might.
