"Are these twenty gray-robed Divine Spirit Masters from the Divine Spirit Society? What are they trying to do? Are they not risking their lives?" The audience shouted in alarm. Some observant people had already recognized the origins of those twenty figures.
The twenty gray-robed Divine Spirit Masters stood in a row, each holding their stance. In front of tens of thousands of troops, they seemed frail, but they didn't move an inch. The grayish-colored Divine Spirit robes fluttered around them, and they showed no intention of removing them.
This frightened everyone. They were wondering what these Divine Spirit Masters were planning? Could they be suicidal? Although everyone knew that Divine Spirit Masters were very powerful, the gray-robed Divine Spirit Masters were even more so.
However, in front of them was tens of thousands of troops, and they were the troops of the Qilin Palace. The Qilin Palace's troops were renowned for their extraordinary combat capabilities, and they were not comparable to the disciples and elders of other sects. They were truly the kings of warriors.
Moreover, the leader of this Qilin army was Lin Ran, an old man of the Black Crane Eight Stages. He was one of the most prominent figures in the entire Qingzhou, with terrifying combat power.
"Whirring, whirring, whirring"
Suddenly, the hands of these twenty Divine Spirit Masters rapidly changed. Layers of gray gas began to swirl around their bodies, forming a shield. It rolled and churned, and the gas became increasingly thick, eventually almost enveloping them completely.
"The Hundred Dragon Barrier Array!"
Finally, the twenty gray-robed Divine Spirit Masters all took action. The gray gas swirling around them transformed into several gray giant dragons.
The gray giant dragons roared in the sky, with a total of hundreds of them, each over several hundred meters long. They truly were dragons without a doubt.
Hundreds of giant dragons rushed towards the Qilin Palace's troops. They opened their wide mouths, as if in their eyes, the Qilin Palace's troops were not a terrifying force but rather a delicious meal.
The Qilin Palace's troops, well-trained, were also frightened by the hundreds of giant dragons. For a moment, they stopped advancing, and each face showed signs of panic, because they all felt threatened by the giant dragons.
"Feigning weakness!!"
At this moment, Lin Ran stepped forward. Standing on the golden horse, he threw several fists towards the sky, each carrying golden light, like reversed shooting stars, flying towards the hundreds of giant dragons in the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom"
With each boom, the golden light fists shattered the hundreds of giant dragons into pieces, their forms distorted. The huge dragon bodies turned into large patches of gray gas, floating in the sky, lingering for a long time.
"Ooh~~~~" At this moment, the Qilin Palace's troops couldn't help but cheer, celebrating their victory.
"Lin Ran is so powerful. With the Black Crane Eight Stages cultivation and his understanding and application of martial arts, he has almost surpassed the laws of nature. Even the most bizarre means of Divine Spirit Masters cannot stop him. This is the power of martial artists. As long as there is absolute combat power, any strange and unconventional methods cannot resist it."
After the twenty gray-robed Divine Spirit Masters took action, especially when the hundreds of giant dragons appeared, many people felt hopeful. But when that hope shattered, they were met with even deeper disappointment.
However, no one noticed that after the hundreds of gray giant dragons were shattered, the twenty gray-robed Divine Spirit Masters not only showed no concern but instead, in their pairs of aged eyes, a faint joy emerged.
"Whirring, whirring, whirring"
Suddenly, their arms extended, hands crossed, and they made a peculiar hand seal. Then, they shouted together: "Lock!!"
"Whirring, whirring, whirring"
Upon these words, the world trembled. The gray gas floating in the air, as if hearing a summons, transformed into several cyclones, once again attacking the Qilin Palace's troops below.
"Humph, no matter how many times you come, I can still shatter you."
Seeing this, Lin Ran was not afraid either. He threw several golden fists towards the sky. However, this time, the golden fists failed to break through the grey gas. Instead, they passed through it.
"Wooah~~"
Immediately after that, the massive grey gas fell into the army of the phoenixes, like a dark cloud, tightly enveloping them and beginning to move rapidly. The powerful force blew them over and upside down. In an instant, this army of the kings had already collapsed.
"Such powerful methods, so terrifying. Just twenty people, and they easily defeated tens of thousands of troops. Is this the method of the ghostly robe realm mages?"
Looking at the grey gas like a dark cloud that enveloped tens of thousands of phoenixes, everyone was stunned. Their eyes were filled with shock. The grey gas was too strange. Any attack couldn't harm them. It would only pass through and eventually hurt the people of the Phoenix Palace.
However, they were also physical entities. They could invade the army of the phoenixes and make them roll and crawl, completely losing their combat capabilities. The people of the Phoenix Palace couldn't even get out of that black gas and were completely trapped in it. To put it bluntly, they would only have to wait to die.
"Strange and evil filthy things, release this magic circle quickly. Otherwise, I don't care whether you are from the Realm of Divine Mages or not. You will have no way out."
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the grey gas. It was Lin Ran. At this moment, Lin Ran's hair was disheveled, like a madman dancing wildly, and his clothes were extremely untidy. Clearly, he was also severely damaged by the grey gas.
However, his aura was extremely powerful at this moment. The aura of the Eightfold Turtle was released without reservation, and it had already launched an attack on the twenty ghostly robe realm mages.
"Rumble rumble rumble"
This move of his was to condense the divine energy. Although it was just pure divine energy, it was extremely powerful. The divine energy first rose into the sky and then fell from the sky, enveloping all twenty realm mages and simultaneously blocking their retreat. This was to crush them all with one blow.
"God, such a massive divine energy, what kind of power is needed? Is this Lin Ran's true power? Although it is not a martial skill, it is already better than martial skills. This is truly terrifying."
Looking at the massive divine energy, everyone couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. They were deeply intimidated by the terrifying power. At the same time, everyone also deeply worried about the twenty realm mages.
Although they had nothing to do with those realm mages, Lin Ran now wanted the lives of all of them. The realm mages were their only hope. They naturally didn't want the realm mages to have any luck.
"It's just eight ranks of Xuanwu power! How dare you speak so arrogantly and threaten our lives? What a blatant boast!!!"
Just as the Xuanwu power was about to fall, at the same time, twenty of the gray-robed spirit masters within their bodies simultaneously burst out with tremendous Xuanwu power. Their Xuanwu power soared upwards, colliding with Lin Ran's attack, and instantly dispersed Lin Ran's Xuanwu power.
At this moment, almost everyone could feel it. The breath of those twenty spirit masters of the realm, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and their bodies were trembling with excitement, exclaiming: "They... are all masters of Xuanwu at the eighth rank!!!"
