Chapter 239 The Battle Reaches a Stalemate, Strong Reinforcements Appear
Since then, the two have met several more times by chance.
Each encounter stirs a unique ripple deep within Ling Feng's heart.
In fact, from the very beginning, Ling Feng had already harbored some special feelings for Lu Xueqi.
Unfortunately, later on, he was caught up in many troubles and trivial matters, and with Biyao by his side, he had no time to go and provoke this beauty.
However, upon their reunion, Ling Feng's long-dormant heart began to stir once more.
As the saying goes, "A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman," and Ling Feng, having endured many hardships in his past life, finally has enough resources to do as he pleases in this life, so naturally he is unwilling to easily miss such a rare opportunity.
However, these so-called personal feelings must be put aside for now.
After all, at this very moment, a fierce battle is raging, and it is hardly the right time to discuss such emotional matters.
Despite the turbulent emotions swirling within Ling Feng, he never forgot to keep a close eye on Bi Yao's condition.
Fortunately, since receiving care from Wanrenwang, Biyao has escaped danger.
It should be noted that Wanrenwang's strength was already among the top tier. Even many elite disciples of the Qingyun Sect would likely find it difficult to withstand a single strike he casually unleashed.
After several disciples who had attempted to harm Biyao were killed, the remaining Qingyun Sect disciples finally realized the current situation.
Biyao is now like a hedgehog covered in sharp thorns. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on her will immediately face fierce retaliation from thousands of people.
Faced with the powerful offensive launched by Wan Renwang, none of these Qingyun Sect disciples had enough confidence to withstand it safely.
In fact, they should be thankful, because they are unaware that there is a Ling Feng lurking in the shadows, even more terrifying than Wan Renwang.
If they knew this fact, they would probably be so frightened that they would run away in terror.
Therefore, Biyao at this moment is not just a hedgehog, but a bomb with amazing power. Anyone who touches her will explode and blow them to pieces!
For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, with neither side gaining the upper hand, and there were not many casualties.
It should be noted that the people from the demonic path who came this time were basically all highly skilled experts, and each of them possessed a certain degree of self-protection.
On the other hand, the disciples of Qingyun Sect, who were relatively weaker, found that they could not gain any advantage after fighting with Biyao.
Naturally, they wisely chose not to approach those demonic masters, knowing that doing so would be tantamount to courting death.
And so, in this bizarre state of equilibrium, this extraordinary battle lasted for a full day and night!
So far, although both sides have engaged in fierce fighting, the overall casualties have not been severe.
The most crucial reason is that the fierce battle between Wanrenwang and Daoxuan was evenly matched.
Before the two had decided the victor, the people below seemed to be holding back in their fight, not going all out.
After all, everyone knows that the outcome of their duel will truly determine the final result of this large-scale battle, while the others are merely supporting characters.
However, throughout this long day and night, Ling Feng remained focused and unwavering in his protection of Bi Yao, never daring to relax for a moment.
At first, some Qingyun Sect disciples, who were confident in their strength, wanted to cause trouble for Biyao.
However, all of this came to an abrupt end after Wan Renwang casually and effortlessly killed several arrogant Qingyun Sect disciples.
From then on, no one dared to lay a hand on Biyao again, because everyone knew the value of life and no one was willing to risk their own life.
At this moment, this earth-shattering battle had been going on for a day and a night.
Despite being able to barely compete with Wan Renwang thanks to his exquisite Zhuxian Sword Formation, Dao Xuan was still able to achieve his goal.
But as time went on, he gradually showed signs of fatigue and decline.
The reason is actually quite simple: Dao Xuan's own cultivation level is only at the sixth level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.
In contrast, Wanrenwang was a super strong expert who had reached the astonishing fifth level of the Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing the Dao realm, a whole major realm apart from the two.
Without the miraculous Zhuxian Sword Formation, Dao Xuan probably wouldn't even be qualified to fight Wan Renwang.
Furthermore, the situation is equally worrying for the thousands of people flocking here.
The more Asura power he used, the more he was on the verge of madness, while also having to keep an eye on Biyao's movements.
Even so, as a true master of the fifth level of the Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing the Dao, Wanrenwang still demonstrated unparalleled strength.
The true energy within his body seemed inexhaustible, showing no signs of depletion.
His performance in battle was even more effortless and skillful.
In fact, it wasn't just Dao Xuan's side that was showing signs of defeat; even the peak leaders and elders of Qingyun Sect were in a difficult situation.
After all, the people led by Wan Renwang this time were no ordinary people, but rather all the top experts from the four major sects of the demonic path.
Faced with such formidable enemies all around, even with its profound foundation and numerous talented individuals, the Qingyun Sect found it difficult to withstand the onslaught for a time.
After all, in the past, if the righteous path wanted to contend with the demonic path, it had to gather the power of the three major sects to deal with them.
However, how can a mere Qingyun Sect withstand the siege of numerous masters from the entire demonic path?
The reason they have been able to persevere until now is thanks to the concerted efforts and assistance of Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, Tie Niu, Lu Xueqi, and other outstanding disciples.
Otherwise, the Qingyun Sect would probably have been utterly defeated long ago.
But just as the Qingyun Sect was beginning to show signs of decline, an astonishing change suddenly occurred!
Suddenly, a person burst into the battlefield. This person was dressed in a long white robe, with a full head of silver hair dancing in the wind. He exuded an extraordinary and refined temperament, truly deserving the description of a celestial being with elegant demeanor.
Most importantly, this unexpected arrival possessed unfathomable strength, having already reached the seventh level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, which was a whole minor realm higher than Dao Xuan, the head of the Qingyun Sect.
This mysterious figure was none other than Wan Jianyi, who had been out of the public eye for many years.
When the members of the demonic path saw him appear there, they were all extremely astonished, their faces filled with disbelief.
No one could have predicted that this legendary figure, who should have disappeared from the martial world, would reappear in this place and at this time, and intervene in this life-and-death struggle between good and evil.
Especially the Vermilion Bird Saint Envoy You Ji of the Ghost King Sect, when she saw Wan Jianyi appear, she seemed to be frozen in place, almost stunned.
You should know that Wan Jianyi's image often lingered in her thoughts, and the two of them had once shared a vague and ambiguous affection.
If it weren't for those unexpected changes that followed, they might have actually created their own beautiful story.
However, deep in Youji's memory, Wan Jianyi should have already passed away, which is why she was so shocked and almost unable to react when she saw him standing alive in front of her.
It wasn't just You Ji who was shocked; the others on the demonic path were equally astonished when they saw Wan Jianyi suddenly appear.
Back then, Wan Jianyi was a brilliant and spirited young man of his time, whose fame was so great that he once stirred up a storm in the martial arts world, causing turmoil throughout the entire martial arts community.
Many masters in the demonic path have suffered greatly at his hands, and they both hate and fear him.
However, he later heard that a series of major changes had occurred within the Qingyun Sect, and that Wan Jianyi had met with misfortune at an early age, ending up dead and gone.
Who would have thought that this person, who should have passed away, would reappear in the world today? In an instant, all the painful memories of the past that were too painful to recall surged into their hearts like a tide, making everyone in the demonic path feel lingering fear.
After Wan Jianyi arrived at the battlefield, he took a closer look and instantly understood the current situation.
Dao Xuan and Wan Renwang were locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows and neither side would give way.
Without the slightest hesitation or uttering a word, Wan Jianyi flashed and, like a ghost, directly joined the battle between Dao Xuan and Wan Renwang.
With the addition of the formidable Wan Jianyi, Dao Xuan felt a significant reduction in pressure.
However, at this time, Wanrenwang had lost most of his senses, and the memories in his mind became fragmented and blurry.
When he caught sight of Wan Jianyi joining the battle, he was inexplicably excited, as if he had seen a long-lost opponent.
As Wanrenwang continued to unleash his Asura power, his strength became increasingly violent and surging, and at the same time, his mind sank deeper and deeper into madness, making him extremely bloodthirsty and cruel.
Faced with such a frenzied enemy, even though Wan Jianyi's cultivation had reached the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, there was still a significant gap between him and Wan Renwang.
Therefore, although his joining the battle could slightly alleviate the pressure on Dao Xuan, it was not enough to turn the tide of the battle and completely suppress Wan Renwang.
Therefore, the battle remains deadlocked and the outcome is uncertain.
Not long after Wan Jianyi arrived at the battlefield, another sound of air being torn apart came from afar.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark figure rushing towards them like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had reached the edge of the battlefield. Only when it got close did everyone see who it was—it was Cangsong, whose strength had already broken through to the fourth level of the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm!
Back then, Cangsong openly rebelled against Qingyun Sect, but was ultimately suppressed by Daoxuan with thunderous methods.
Unexpectedly, he would reappear on the battlefield at this moment.
In fact, Dao Xuan did not have the heart to kill him back then. Instead, he specially arranged for him to meet Wan Jianyi.
It was this opportunity that allowed him to resolve the hatred and resentment that had been building up in his heart for many years, and ultimately he decided to follow Wan Jianyi into seclusion in the ancestral hall of the Qingyun Sect.
It should be understood that, according to common sense, the two of them should not have appeared in front of the public again, because no matter what, the mistakes they made were a great disgrace to the Qingyun Sect.
However, at this very moment, the Qingyun Sect is facing a critical juncture of life and death. If they continue to hide, the entire Qingyun Sect will most likely face annihilation.
Therefore, after careful consideration, they resolutely chose to step forward.
When Cangsong rushed to the battlefield, he first observed the situation. He saw that the fierce battle between Daoxuan and Wanrenwang had reached a stalemate, and Wan Jianyi's timely intervention had made the duel essentially a deadlock.
Clearly, going to Dao Xuan's side to join the fun at this time would not have a significant impact on the battle.
Conversely, the clashes between the peak leaders and the demonic forces were quite difficult, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for the Qingyun Sect, which was on the verge of defeat.
Knowing the critical situation, Cangsong made a decisive decision and threw himself into the battlefield where the leaders of each peak were located.
With the addition of Cangsong, a powerful ally, the morale of the Qingyun Sect, which was originally in dire straits, was instantly boosted, and they gradually reversed their previous decline.
For a time, the two sides went back and forth, neither willing to give way, and the battle situation became unpredictable again, showing a state of evenly matched strength.
This series of sudden changes swept over us like a surging tide, but Ling Feng, hiding in the shadows, remained indifferent to it all.
Because at this moment, the most important thing in his mind was to ensure Biyao's safety.
Moreover, Ling Feng even secretly hoped that the Qingyun Sect would produce more top experts.
Only in this way can the powerful Wanrenwang possibly be defeated.
Only then will he be able to break free from his current state.
In fact, given Ling Feng's current abilities, he is fully confident that he can successfully pick up Bi Yao and ensure that she will not suffer any harm.
However, after careful consideration, he ultimately chose to abandon this seemingly feasible plan.
The reason is simple: if he really did that, the eccentric Wanrenwang would inevitably go into a state of madness instantly.
Even worse, Wanrenwang might disregard the battle with Daoxuan and instead unleash all his anger on himself.
At that time, Ling Feng will face a difficult situation where he has no choice but to move forward or backward.
Moreover, if this situation were to occur, the person who would be most tormented and caught in the middle would undoubtedly be Biyao.
Therefore, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Ling Feng quickly and decisively dismissed the idea.
Ultimately, his bold idea was not yet fully developed, and now was clearly not the best time to put it into practice.
However, despite this, Ling Feng already had a vague premonition that the moment when that idea could be realized might not be far away.
Amid this tense and stalemate, the fierce battle between the Qingyun Sect and the demonic forces seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, once again falling into a strange and unpredictable state of equilibrium.
The two sides went back and forth, neither willing to give an inch. However, no matter how hard they tried to attack each other, it seemed impossible to break the stalemate. Neither side could truly defeat the other.
