69: The fifth level of Qi Refining? Have you taken medicine?

Seeing such a situation, Ruo Liuli's suspended heart finally died.

She sighed slowly, then made a gesture.

Fifteen hundred Yuting Guards quietly stepped out of the city wall.

Then her figure, like a wild goose, spread its wings and soared out.

Standing at the very front.

Her fists pounded like drums, her heart surging with hot blood.

Her Yao blood also continuously surged and surged under gradual stimulation.

Her eyes gradually became like a wild beast's, and facing the numerous Yao Beasts rushing towards her, she swiftly dashed towards the most burly figure!

"Kill!"

In front of the city gate, yellow sand surged like waves, and fifteen hundred Yuting Guards advanced with uniform steps, pressing towards the Sand Monster horde.

Cold iron armor reflected the biting cold light of the sky, and the fine steel long sabers in their hands glowed with a faint, chilling light, like a moving forest of steel.

The hundred-plus Yuting Guards at the very front formed a wedge formation, with the teams behind them arrayed in a wild goose formation, each ten-person squad maintaining a precise attacking distance from each other, their formation as strict as a precisely operating mechanism.

The Sand Monsters let out piercing shrieks, and thousands of flowing sand scimitars and wolf-tooth clubs drew eerie arcs in the air.

The Sand Armor leader stood atop the sand dune, a strange glow emanating from the flowing sand colored halberd in its hand. It waved its halberd, and the Sand Monster horde immediately surged forward like a tide.

Some Sand Monsters' figures flickered, disappearing into the sand to move stealthily as quicksand, while others suddenly leaped up, their sand blades, laden with grit, shooting towards the Yuting Guards like arrows.

These were all the Refining Qi Sand Essence's arms; its methods seemed extremely bizarre!

"Kill!"

The Yuting Guards roared in unison, the Evil Qi contained in their shouts spreading like a tangible substance, making the sand within a hundred meters tremble.

Amidst the chaotic flying yellow sand, the two sides fiercely clashed!

The wedge formation at the very front suddenly accelerated, like a sharp sword piercing directly into the heart of the Sand Monster horde.

A Yuting Guard's figure flashed swiftly, his Demon Slaying Saber slicing towards a Sand Monster's neck with a sound of tearing air. The Sand Monster hastily raised its saber to block, but the blade suddenly changed direction, cutting across its wrist before a backhand slash, instantly turning the Sand Monster's head into flowing sand.

Only one yellowish Spiritual Essence fragment after another was left in place.

Unlike Yao Beasts like the Hyena Sand Beast, the Yellow Sand Tribe was targeted by the Wang family precisely because they were not made of flesh and blood.

Instead, they were 'Spirits'.

The vast majority of their cores were driven by Spiritual Essence, which was very rare and very powerful.

But even if they were powerful, they were no match for an Immortal Clan, an Immortal Master!

And now, they had been living in hiding, slaughtering more than a dozen Human Race market towns, their fierce reputation growing, believing themselves to be invincible in the Black Horn Mountain Range.

Yet, they never expected to encounter the Yuting Guards here.

They encountered… these never-before-seen Cold-attribute Dao soldiers!

The Yuting Guards cooperated with extreme tacit understanding, with squads echoing each other, their saber lights interwoven into an impenetrable defensive net.

Whenever a Sand Monster approached, a cold light flashed, either severing limbs or piercing bodies; the Sand Monsters' attacks couldn't even touch the profound armor.

The Yuting Guards in the rear continuously filled in gaps, maintaining the integrity of the formation. They were like well-trained killing machines, every swing of their sabers precise, thoroughly suppressing the Sand Monsters.

"Powerful! Too powerful!"

Wang Teng meditated to recover, watching the Yuting Guards wantonly slaughtering the Sand Monsters, and exclaimed.

"No wonder every family wants to raise Dao soldiers, but it's a pity that Dao soldiers consume too much. Just for the barely ranked two thousand-plus Yuting Guards, thousands of pounds of cold stones and so many medicinal materials were consumed. I'm afraid Shen will have no way to expand, right?"

"But these Dao soldiers are enough!"

As the war progressed, the Evil Qi on the Yuting Guards grew even more intense. First, the squad leaders' bodies erupted with powerful Auras, their Demon Slaying Sabers glowed brightly, and wherever their Saber Qi passed, several Sand Monsters were cut in half at the waist. This Breakthrough Aura spread like a prairie fire, and more and more Yuting Guards' Evil Qi reached the ranked level. Their attacks became even more ferocious, and wherever their blades pointed, the Sand Monsters scattered.

"My physique has been Cultivated, all that's left is this final push of Evil Qi."

"At first, they were just weak Yao Beast tides, and the Evil Qi accumulation was simply not enough. Now, however, this condition has been met."

"Why is Shen's luck so good?"

"Although these Sand Monsters aren't strong, their strength is on par with the Yuting Guards, making them perfect Yao Beasts for training!"

Wang Teng sighed repeatedly.

He felt that his talent and luck were already good enough, but he never expected Shen's luck to be even better than his!

Now, he raised Dao soldiers, he occupied a city, and within the city were three ninth-grade Spirit Beasts and two ninth-grade wonders.

Suddenly... the development potential here was actually subtly comparable to his family's market town?

Strange! Too strange!

Then he looked towards the Sand Essence in the sandstorm.

That was... the real disaster.

Refining Qi was truly troublesome!

And on the front lines!

The Sand Armor Sand Monster leader's pupils constricted. It had never seen such a terrifying opponent.

Whether it was the Grandmaster Martial Artist it was locked in an evenly matched battle with, or this group of Dao soldiers.

It truly caught it off guard.

How could so many soldiers comparable to Dao soldiers appear in this small place, the Black Horn Mountain Range?

One must know that within this month, too many Human Races had been annihilated by its hands, but it had never seen any market town produce Dao soldiers!

At most, there were some Martial Artists, but with a slight encirclement, they would die under its blade!

And the Dao soldiers before it... the Yuting Guards were like an endless killing machine, vast in number yet seamlessly coordinated, far exceeding its imagination.

It swung its sand halberd, desperately trying to repel Ruo Liuli, attempting to salvage the losing battle, but to no avail.

It could only watch helplessly as the Yuting Guards' offensive surged like a tide, more and more Sand Monsters falling, sand piles accumulating into mountains, and the battle growing increasingly unfavorable for the Sand Monster side.

"Get out of my way!"

"No worries, I'll help you!"

A yellowish stream of light flickered over.

The yellow sand surged wildly, the sky obscured in gloom. Countless sand grains condensed in the air, forming a colossal sand sphere, its surface shimmering with an eerie light, emitting a chilling Aura.

Then, a loud roar echoed from within the Yuting Guards.

"Form up!"

The Yuting Guards swiftly changed their formation, forming a tortoise shell array, ready for battle. The Evil Qi on their bodies circulated wildly, and thick shields condensed on the surface of their profound armor, like an impenetrable fortress.

The sand sphere exploded with a roar, and fine sand blades poured down like a torrential rain. Wherever they went, rocks were cut into powder, and the ground was plowed with bottomless ravines.

The Yuting Guards were called Dao soldiers, naturally, there was something special about them.

For example, the cold Qi and cold stones absorbed into their bodies could be called upon at critical moments to form cold armor to resist attacks!

But that Sand Essence's spell, augmented by the sandstorm's momentum, became extremely dangerous!

The sand blades fell, but the violent force did not immediately cleave through the defenses!

The Yuting Guards wielded their Demon Slaying Sabers, desperately resisting, and amidst the flashing saber light, the sand blades were continuously shattered. Although the number of sand blades was extremely large, some broke through the defenses, leaving white marks on their iron armor, but they remained unmoving, the eerie blue light in their eyes growing brighter, their Evil Qi like a surging, angry tide!

"Wait? There are Spiritual Qi fluctuations!"

"Is it Middle Stage Qi Refining?"

"Damn it! The great formation has also been activated, and with such thick city walls and Dao soldiers, success is impossible!"

The Sand Essence seemed to sense something drawing closer, and its expression suddenly changed.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"

The Qi Refining Stage 5 Sand Armor Sand Soldier was trembling, and at this moment, it was also bewildered. This seemingly ordinary revenge operation, after only an incense stick's worth of fighting, was already calling for a retreat?

What did this mean?

Before its words fell, Ruo Liuli's palm was coated with a golden-yellow layer.

A smile suddenly appeared on her face.

That sharp and resilient feeling reappeared.

The Great Enchanter succeeded in her Breakthrough?

Then, a strange cicada chirp emerged.

A delicate, small ice cicada landed on the Sand Armor monster.

It exploded with a boom.

Half of the Sand Monster's body was frozen, pinned in place!

Seeing this, Ruo Liuli slammed her fist into the ice body!

The Sand Armor Sand Monster's figure suddenly shattered.

Above the city gate, a white-robed figure stood with hands behind his back, white frost condensing in the air.

A huge ice wall trapped the Sand Monsters!

Spiritual Qi seals continuously flickered behind him, and streaks of frost-colored ice cicadas quietly appeared.

They flapped their wings and flew towards the Sand Monsters!

Shen Li looked straight ahead, his eyes devoid of emotion.

"Since you've come, why don't you stay?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Teng first froze, then gasped.

"Qi Refining Stage 5?"

"Shen, did you take drugs?"
