Fire Yin Fiend's brow furrowed slightly, his foot lightly tapping the void, sending a burst of red, scorching Qi from his sole, speeding up his movement as he launched two half-meter-diameter fireballs at Elder Bai Mei and Wang Mingyue.

"Break..."

Both men easily pierced through the fireballs with a sword and a saber, but in the brief moment this took, Fire Yin Fiend had already moved closer, charging straight towards Li Lin and the others.

"Be careful, run!" Elder Bai Mei shouted, his figure surging forward as he changed hand seals, filling the space with Qi. The yellow sword in his hand shot out like a streak of yellow lightning towards Fire Yin Fiend.

The sword Qi created a gust of wind, rippling through the air around it. With this strike, Elder Bai Mei had exerted his full strength.

"Quick, we can't match him," Li Wushuang yelled from ahead, witnessing the scene unfold. Everyone immediately began to retreat rapidly.

Li Lin was no exception, not expecting Fire Yin Fiend to target Yunyang Sect's new disciples. He quickly retreated, knowing well the dire consequences of falling into Fire Yin Fiend's hands.

A massive push force emerged from the palms, dissipating the incoming wind blades before they could get close.

"Fire Shadow Finger," Fire Yin Fiend uttered as he lightly tapped the void with his toe, a surge of scorching Qi vibrating around him. With a change in hand seals, he flicked his fingers, sending five illusory Qi energy finger prints hurtling towards Elder Bai Mei's sword Qi.

As Fire Yin Fiend darted back and forth, the five residual energy finger prints in mid-air trembled slightly before shooting out, colliding with Elder Bai Mei's sword Qi.

"Clang, clang..."

In a flash, the sword Qi was blocked by the five finger prints, deviating the sword Qi and preventing it from continuing its attack on Fire Yin Fiend.

"I'll start with you," Fire Yin Fiend appeared behind Qin Tianhao. Among the group, Qin Tianhao, being a spiritual practitioner, was the slowest, naturally falling behind.

A finger print condensed in front of Fire Yin Fiend and crashed down.

"Break for me," at that moment, Wang Mingyue's saber light fell again, shielding Qin Tianhao.

"Let's see how many you can protect," Fire Yin Fiend sneered maliciously, forming hand seals. Several more Qi energy finger prints, wrapped in flames, tore through space, targeting Li Shaohu not far from Qin Tianhao.

"Be careful!" Elder Bai Mei's hand seals changed, his yellow sword cutting through the air, rushing towards Fire Yin Fiend.

"Hmph," Fire Yin Fiend snorted, altering his hand seals. Five blazing energy fingers, carrying a force that seemed to slice through space, moved as his body swiftly retreated to the left. Four of the energy finger prints got entangled with Elder Bai Mei's sword, while the remaining one grazed Li Shaohu's skin, causing him intense pain and making him stumble backward, eventually falling to the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Keke, White Brow, let's see how you save people now." Fire Yin Fiend sneered sinisterly, spinning halfway in the air like a whirlwind, stirring up a wave of red, scorching Qi before gracefully landing back on the ground. With Qi bursting from his feet, he leveraged the momentum to launch himself forward again, ghost-like, darting towards Li Lin, his target now.

Li Lin had already taken the chance to retreat rapidly. Seeing Fire Yin Fiend charging towards him, his expression turned to one of great alarm, well aware that with his current strength, he stood no chance against such a formidable opponent as Fire Yin Fiend. The only option was to flee as fast as possible.

"Li Lin, be careful." Not far ahead, Li Wushuang's face paled, and without much hesitation, her graceful figure swept through, Qi coursing as she swung her hand, and with a gesture, the Qingyue Sword in her hand thrust towards Fire Yin Fiend, cutting through space.

"Overestimating yourself." Fire Yin Fiend coldly snorted, glancing at the sword Qi rushing towards him. Mid-air, his Qi suddenly surged, releasing a burst of immense, scorching energy. A claw imprint formed in his hand, with traces of flames carrying robust Qi, smashing down hard on the Qingyue Sword.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided, causing an explosion in the air, and the Qingyue Sword fell to the ground. At that moment, Fire Yin Fiend didn't even touch the ground before launching a scorching fireball towards Li Wushuang.

"Li Wushuang, be careful." Li Lin's face turned pale with shock. Li Wushuang had drawn this trouble upon herself trying to save him, and her strength was definitely not enough to contend with Fire Yin Fiend.

"Green Spirit Armor."

Li Lin didn't hesitate for a moment, instantly summoning the Green Spirit Armor. His body was immediately covered in numerous pale yellow scales, as he surged forward.

"Mountain Splitting Palm."

Qi burst forth, sending a pale yellow palm imprint sweeping out. Though it created a sound of tearing through the air, it paled in comparison to the attack momentum of Fire Yin Fiend and Elder Bai Mei.

Fire Yin Fiend felt a palm imprint coming from behind and looked back, sneering, not taking it seriously at all. To him, an opponent who was merely a martial warrior was like an ant, unworthy of concern.

In an instant, Fire Yin Fiend's expression darkened as Elder Bai Mei rapidly approached from behind Li Lin.

"Hmph, boy, come here." Fire Yin Fiend's expression turned grave as he vanished from his spot like lightning.

Li Lin's Mountain Splitting Palm missed, and he instantly felt a bad premonition. Just as he was about to retreat rapidly, a voice rang in his ear: "Boy, behave."

At that moment, Li Lin felt several finger imprints from Fire Yin Fiend hit his body, immediately blocking his Qi flow, rendering him unable to move.

"Fire Yin Fiend, release him now, or Yunyang Sect will never let you off," Elder Bai Mei shouted sternly, his expression growing grave.

"Li Lin." Li Wushuang was panic-stricken, her face turning pale.

At this time, Qin Tianhao, Du Gu Binglan, Cuiyu, and Yang Miao all wore serious expressions, watching as Li Lin fell into Fire Yin Fiend's hands, with only Li Shaohu's eyes passing a cold sneer.

At this moment, Li Lin was equally panicked. He didn't want to die, but Fire Yin Fiend's strength was too overwhelming, leaving him no chance to resist. Currently, three of his meridian acupoints were sealed by Fire Yin Fiend's Qi, preventing his Qi from circulating and immobilizing him.
