Chen Mobai opened his right hand with five fingers in the air.

Amidst the buzzing sound.

A burst of blue spiritual energy arrows emerged from the void behind him.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The five black plague birds that had just rushed up the cliff were immediately repelled, and then the blue arrows exploded, shattering them into clusters of blood mist.

Whoosh!

On the other side, Wang Yuanwu also didn’t hold back. The crimson flying sword danced like flames, carrying violent spiritual power as it swept through the flock of black plague birds in the air, instantly turning several demonic beasts into charred remains.

Gao Tuo and the others also launched their own attacks.

An arrow shot out, accurately killing one black plague bird, but there was no time to reload. Gao Tuo could only drag his right hand, which had just been connected but still had blocked blood flow and limited mobility, and wield his hook-shaped spiritual weapon to fight against the black plague bird that had rushed in front of him.

Fortunately, he had Shi Pengyi, his senior brother and sister, by his side.

Luo Lin held a black armored shield, her figure agile as she moved to block the swift wind arrows spewed out by the black plague birds for them.

Shi Pengyi, on the other hand, demonstrated his strength at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Under his control, a purple flying sword was like a lightning bolt, moving back and forth, suppressing and killing the black plague birds that bypassed Chen Mobai and Wang Yuanwu.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, then shot out the remaining 18 spiritual energy arrows from behind him.

Amidst the banging sound.

The area above the cliff, where they were located, instantly became empty.

“The second stage has arrived!”

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Yuanwu’s expression became solemn.

Chen Mobai’s face changed, and he looked towards the sky outside Qingguang Island. Sure enough, two giant birds, three or four times larger than the usual black plague birds, appeared in the sky. One of the black plague bird kings had only one wing left, its eyes crimson as it coldly stared at them.

It was this “Heavenly Wood Divine Light” emitted by the spirit tree they were guarding that had evaporated one of its wings, almost knocking it down.

“Everyone, be careful and protect yourselves.”

“There are still five Heavenly Wood Divine Lights left on the west bank. After one wing of the bird king is cut off, the remaining two won’t dare to approach without absolute certainty.”

“But we may have to face the elite guards of the black plague birds equivalent to the later stage of Qi Refining next. Even if it’s dangerous, we must not let our front line be breached.”

Seeing that the bird king had targeted their side, Wang Yuanwu couldn’t help but sweat on his forehead. However, he was experienced and observant, even under tremendous pressure. He gave orders in a commanding tone.

Amidst the stern voices.

Sure enough, a group of large birds twice the size of ordinary black plague birds left the side of the bird king and flew towards them, riding the strong wind.

Boom!

Before the large birds arrived, a huge tornado formed on the shore, stirring up a raging wave, pressing towards the spirit tree on the cliff.

It was the two bird kings joining forces to display their innate abilities, not only suppressing the elite guards but also testing whether there were any hidden cards on Qingguang Island.

Chen Mobai saw this huge tornado that could engulf the entire cliff where they stood, and his expression changed.

He held onto the last trump card, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.

But he still looked at Wang Yuanwu first, and sure enough, even he possessed second-stage spiritual talismans. The leader of the Shenmu Sect must have even more powerful trump cards.

Only to see Wang Yuanwu grit his teeth and nod at another disciple of the Shenmu Sect. The latter immediately took out a talisman and inserted it into the spirit tree.

Whoosh!

Like a gentle breeze blowing, after the talisman was inserted, a faint light appeared on a branch of the originally bare spirit tree. In the blink of an eye, a small green bud grew and quickly grew into a palm-sized green leaf.

Wang Yuanwu swung his flying sword, and the green leaf was cut off.

“Go!”

After taking a restorative elixir, the disciple of the Shenmu Sect who inserted the talisman poured all his spiritual power into the cut-off green leaf. In an instant, a bright light surged, turning into a huge shield that covered the entire cliff.

Just at this moment, the two second-stage bird kings unleashed a massive tornado with raging waves.

Boom rumble rumble!

The tremendous vibration was like an earthquake. Chen Mobai used the wooden umbrella in his hand as a support, keeping his body steady.

[This Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation has quite a few functions!]

He thought of this in his heart, wondering if there were any other functions besides the Heavenly Wood Divine Light and the green leaf shield.

“The big birds are coming, a total of twenty. Each team deals with four, and handle as many as you can in the later stage of Qi Refining. The remaining black plague birds will be dealt with by the other members of the team. Remember to protect yourselves!”

Wang Yuanwu quickly divided the tasks, then took the lead and swung his crimson flying sword, encircling the three large birds flying in the front.

Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and chose one of the large birds.

But when he saw the nearly one hundred ordinary black plague birds led by these large birds, he was afraid that the other members of the team couldn’t handle them. Before fighting the large bird, he once again threw out four green arrow talismans.

Amidst the banging sound.

The powerful wind gusts spewed out by the large bird in front of Chen Mobai directly shattered the green spiritual energy arrows, but the remaining 23 arrows aimed at a large group of black plague birds that were rushing towards it.

Blood splattered, black feathers flew.

After cleaning up, Chen Mobai held the Five Transformations Umbrella and confronted the black plague bird, which was about one meter in size.Buzz!

Two cyan wind blades extended from the flapping wings of the Black Plague Bird, resembling two crescent moonlight blades, intersecting in the shape of an eight and falling above Chen Mobai’s head.

The umbrella surface opened!

The clear mist seemed somewhat unable to withstand it, exploding partially when the wind blades struck, but ultimately, it was dissolved.

“Thankfully, although these birds have powerful bloodlines, they don’t know how to cultivate, so the power of their spells doesn’t exceed the limit of the Five Transformations Umbrella.”

Wu Wan’s expertise in treasure appraisal was trustworthy. He said that this defensive talisman could withstand the attack of the late stage of Qi Refining.

Facing the Black Plague Bird, which was obviously at the peak of the first order, it still held up.

But it seemed to be at its limit.

Chen Mobai looked at the two scratches that had appeared on the surface of the umbrella after he had retracted it, deciding to focus on evasion next.

After all, he was not Wang Yuanwu, who had reached the perfect stage of the ninth layer of Qi Refining, had exceptional swordsmanship, rich combat experience, and the talismans and magical tools provided by the Shenmu Sect. He could fight three large birds alone without losing ground.

Fierce!

After the two wind blades were dissolved, the big bird opened its mouth and spat out a series of wind arrows. Chen Mobai didn’t want to resist hard with the Five Transformations Umbrella again, so he threw out two wooden shield talismans.

But how could a first-order low-grade talisman possibly block the wind arrows of the big bird? In just two breaths, the two wooden shields that appeared in mid-air shattered and disappeared into spiritual energy.

However, Chen Mobai had already taken this opportunity to leap to another position.

The wind arrows missed their target, stirring up a cloud of dust on the cliff.

At this moment, all five teams had begun to fight. However, not everyone was strong and lucky. Soon, Chen Mobai heard a scream.

Someone had died.
