"Wang Mingyue, let's see how many more moves you can withstand." Fire Yin Fiend's hands conjured countless fiery Qi punches, enveloping Wang Mingyue in an instant.
"This is bad." Wang Mingyue's expression darkened. Fire Yin Fiend's strength was already superior to his, and now, depleted of energy, he was no match for his opponent. Although he had sent out a distress signal, there were no other Yunyang Sect members nearby. It would take too long for anyone from Wudu City to arrive, and they lacked the strength to overpower Fire Yin Fiend.
Just then, a beastly roar echoed from above. Hearing this sound, Wang Mingyue's eyes lit up with surprise—it was the cry of a rock eagle.
"Thought it was someone else, turns out it's you, Fire Yin Fiend." A loud shout came from above, it was Elder Bai Mei. As he spoke, a figure dived down, and a yellow longsword appeared out of nowhere, slicing through the air silently with dozens of sword beams, the fierce sword Qi tearing through the air barrier and howling towards Fire Yin Fiend.
Sensing the sharp sword Qi, Fire Yin Fiend's expression turned to shock. His punches shifted, a fiery aura enveloping them as he swiftly retreated.
As Elder Bai Mei altered his hand seals, the sword Qi transformed again, vibrating continuously and rippling through the air like water, shattering Fire Yin Fiend's punches in an instant.
At that moment, two rock eagles circled overhead, and everyone leaped down. The Yunyang Sect's officers immediately charged towards the three middle-aged men.
Staggering back several steps, Fire Yin Fiend glared at Elder Bai Mei, who had just appeared, and said with a heavy tone, "Bai Mei, I didn't expect you to be here."
"Bai Mei, your timing couldn't have been better. Fire Yin Fiend is after the Heavenly Silkworm Armor. It would have been troublesome if you were any later," Wang Mingyue approached Elder Bai Mei, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Although both were outer sect elders, Elder Bai Mei's strength was superior to his and no less than Fire Yin Fiend's.
"The Heavenly Silkworm Armor?" Elder Bai Mei looked puzzled.
"It's a long story. I led several people into the Misty Mountains and had just obtained the Heavenly Silkworm Armor when Fire Yin Fiend targeted us," Wang Mingyue explained.
"Nonsense, the Heavenly Silkworm Armor goes to those who are capable. Why shouldn't I have it?" Fire Yin Fiend retorted coldly.
"How dare you, Fire Yin Fiend, covet what belongs to Yunyang Sect. Let's see if you're strong enough," Elder Bai Mei shouted, his gaze turning cold upon seeing the bodies of Yunyang Sect disciples. Forming hand seals, he launched the yellow longsword at Fire Yin Fiend. The sword buzzed, emitting a yellow glow, resembling a yellow spirit snake from afar.

"Bai Mei, I'm not afraid of you. Let's see how strong Yunyang Sect really is," Fire Yin Fiend shouted back, conjuring several fist-sized fiery orbs that instantly enveloped the yellow longsword.
Qi filled the air, with stones and dust flying around. From a distance, Li Lin watched the clash between Elder Bai Mei and Fire Yin Fiend. Both were warriors of the Martial Spirit level, with strengths possibly exceeding the sixth level of Martial Spirit, truly formidable. Their every move could cause explosive reactions.
The crowd, following Elder Bai Mei's instructions, kept their distance and watched from afar.
At this moment, in the battle between the four officers of Yunyang Sect and the three robust men, the Yunyang Sect officers had the upper hand. Their strength was around the eighth or ninth level of Martial Master, slightly stronger than the three men in tight clothes, who were already in a precarious situation due to being outnumbered and outmatched.
Li Lin was most interested in the confrontation between Elder Bai Mei and Fire Yin Fiend, the real powerhouses, whose fight was reaching a peak of intensity.
In an instant, the several fireballs conjured by Fire Yin Fiend were shattered by Elder Bai Mei's yellow sword, which unleashed a barrage of sword beams with ferocious sword Qi, slicing through the fireballs and then sweeping across horizontally.
Elder Bai Mei, leveraging his movement technique, changed his hand seals, sending out several thin blades of sword Qi aimed at Fire Yin Fiend's neck.
Fire Yin Fiend's expression darkened as he hastily retreated, surrounded by a protective aura that dissolved the incoming sword Qi blades upon contact.
After defending against the sword Qi blades, Fire Yin Fiend's demeanor became significantly more somber. Swinging his arm, he launched a fierce Qi punch towards Elder Bai Mei, the force of the punch creating a continuous booming sound in the air.
Elder Bai Mei, sensing the relentless force behind him, changed his hand seals once more, thrusting the yellow sword forward. The sword left a pale yellow trail in the air, its sharp tip piercing through the air resistance to collide with Fire Yin Fiend's punch.
The collision of their attacks caused an immediate explosion of powerful forces, bending the air into arcs until it finally couldn't withstand the immense power and burst loudly.
"Boom, boom…"
The space erupted with loud sounds, creating a vast crater within tens of meters, and both figures were forced back.
"White Brow, you indeed have impressive strength, but I must have the Heavenly Silkworm Armor. Hand it over, and I'll leave immediately," Fire Yin Fiend said.
"Joke, do you have the strength for it?" Elder Bai Mei responded coldly.
"Heh heh, fine then. Those are your Yunyang Sect's new disciples, right? It would be a pity if they died. If you don't hand over the Heavenly Silkworm Armor, I might not be able to do anything to you, but what about killing them? Do you think I can do that?" Fire Yin Fiend sneered maliciously, his gaze shifting towards Li Lin, Li Wushuang, Yang Man, and the others in the distance.
"Fire Yin Fiend, dare you, and even if you escape to the ancient region, Yunyang Sect will not let you off," Elder Bai Mei immediately shouted, knowing full well that Fire Yin Fiend's strength wasn't much less than his own, and if Fire Yin Fiend was determined to target the new disciples, he wouldn't be able to protect them all.
"I'm asking you one last time, will you hand over the Heavenly Silkworm Armor?" Fire Yin Fiend demanded.
"Dream on, the Heavenly Silkworm Armor, a treasure like that, you're not worthy of it," Elder Bai Mei retorted coldly.
"Then don't blame me for being rude," Fire Yin Fiend sneered, his figure suddenly rushing towards the new disciples including Li Lin.
"You dare!" Elder Bai Mei bellowed, with Wang Mingyue also moving swiftly. The two of them, with a sword and a saber, struck directly at Fire Yin Fiend, their arcs cutting through the air, resulting in a sharp whistling sound.
