Chapter 842
The formation barrier came under attack, and a dull sound echoed within it, while the light screen released by the formation also trembled slightly.
"Don't concern yourselves with the outside situation. He can't break through the formation. Let's deal with them first!"
The Male Demon Hunter reminded them in a deep voice. Judging by the current circumstances, the formation barrier indeed showed no signs of breaking. Although the outside attacks were fierce, their power was limited; the light screen formed by the formation barrier only trembled slightly and was still far from shattering.
As the Male Demon Hunter spoke, he gripped his massive axe with both hands and surged forward through the air towards the bleeding Xu Meijing.
Xu Meijing had just taken a direct blow from him. Although she hadn't died from that axe strike, she had sustained a serious injury. In his view, now, while Xu Meijing hadn't yet recovered her breath, was the best moment to eliminate her. He naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.
His words of caution made the Female Demon Hunter react. She no longer bothered with the constantly attacked formation, waved her hand to recall her wooden sword, and then attacked Ye Zhiqiu again.
Ye Zhiqiu's injuries were also serious. His entire shoulder had been pierced, and the wooden sword had left a considerable bloodied hole in his shoulder. If the hole had been any larger, his left arm might have been severed by that strike.
The Female Demon Hunter was also an individual with extensive combat experience; she naturally knew that now was the best time to strike at Ye Zhiqiu. So, once she reacted, she immediately launched an attack on Ye Zhiqiu, her speed only a half-beat slower than her husband's.
"Although I didn't cleave that ant Yang Haoran to death with one axe, it's still good to have heavily wounded both of you through this opportunity. Now that both of you are severely injured, let's see how much longer you can hold on."
The Male Demon Hunter said this while continuously swinging his axe at Xu Meijing. His voice, amplified by Star Spirit Power, overpowered the explosive sounds erupting from the fierce attacks and reached the ears of everyone present.
The reason he spoke these words at this moment was to exert more pressure on Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu, causing them to lose their composure, so that he and his wife could more easily slay them both.
Xu Meijing was entirely enveloped in dense Yin Qi. Her shattered Earth Soul Armor, after she expended a large amount of Yin Spirit Power, re-coalesced and recovered, becoming as good as new.
Although the Earth Soul Armor had once again become new, Xu Meijing's injuries and the Yin Spirit Power consumed within her body would not recover simply because the Earth Soul Armor did.
Of course, one couldn't say that the Earth Soul Armor, now as good as new, was useless; at least in terms of defense, it was undeniably effective.
Seeing Xu Meijing's Earth Soul Armor fully restored, the fiercely attacking Demon Hunter couldn't help but let out a cold snort, and then spoke, mocking her.
"Your turtle shell is indeed tough enough. If you hadn't hidden inside this turtle shell, that axe strike just now would have taken your life!"
Although these words were mocking, it was not difficult to detect a hint of envy in his tone. Even if he tried his best to conceal it, he couldn't hide this fact.
Xu Meijing ignored the Male Demon Hunter. As she dodged his fierce attacks, she sought an opportunity to consume a bottle of Pharmacist's Medicine. Only by allowing her injuries to recover to a certain extent could she break free from her current passive situation and once again clash head-on with this fellow.
She wanted to find an opportunity to shatter the protective barrier on the Male Demon Hunter's body surface. This way, the potent poison permeating the area would, to some extent, affect him. However, the opponent seemed to have long anticipated her intentions and had thus been very cautious about this point.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhiqiu, at this moment, wanted to tear a breach in the formation barrier, allowing those outside to enter the formation. This way, it would provide some help to their current passive situation.
Unfortunately, the Female Demon Hunter's attacks on him were even fiercer than before, as if she intended to eliminate him in one go, giving him no chance to catch his breath. Let alone blasting open a breach in the formation, he didn't even have a chance to take a bottle of Pharmacist's Medicine.
The fierce battle between the two sides continued for a moment longer. Aside from evading, Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu were mostly on the defensive, doing their best to minimize their injuries. As for counterattacks, there were none.
During this time, the two Demon Hunters found opportunities to strike at Yang Haoran below two more times. However, both times, Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu jointly fended them off, but their injuries consequently became even more severe.
As for the attacks outside the formation, they never ceased during this period. Although the light screen released by the formation continued to tremble, and the trembling grew increasingly violent, the formation was still some distance from shattering.
In order to protect Yang Haoran as much as possible, Xu Meijing and Ye Zhiqiu had retreated to a position directly above Yang Haoran. At this moment, both of them were suffering from aggravated injuries, and their power fluctuations had significantly weakened.
On Ye Zhiqiu's body, several more ghastly sword wounds had appeared. The tattered trench coat he wore had become even more ragged.
Despite his severe injuries, he remained as indifferent as ever, with not a trace of fear or panic visible on his pale face.
As for Xu Meijing, cracks had once again appeared all over her Earth Soul Armor, with some parts completely shattered. It wasn't that she didn't want to restore her Earth Soul Armor to its original state again, but rather that she no longer had any spare Yin Spirit Power to restore it.
Since her entire face was covered by the Earth Soul Armor, her expression could not be seen. However, it was easy to imagine that her complexion at this moment wouldn't be pleasant.
"You're desperately protecting Yang Haoran, isn't it just to buy him enough time to open his Earth Soul, and then outnumber and deal with us, husband and wife? Hmph, a good idea, but too bad you won't last until then!"
As the Demon Hunter's words fell, an axe strike successfully hit Xu Meijing, sending her flying and plummeting towards the ground below.
The Earth Soul Armor, already riddled with cracks, could no longer withstand such a fierce attack, shattering by more than half on impact. Xu Meijing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her body slamming down onto the protective barrier Yang Haoran had set up.
BOOM! ! !
The powerful impact caused cracks to appear all over the barrier Yang Haoran had set up, threatening to shatter at any moment. And Xu Meijing, having suffered such a violent impact, spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
"Let alone Yang Haoran not having the chance to open his Earth Soul, even if he really opened his Earth Soul, he would still die. Both of you are now an arrow at the end of its flight. Do you think Yang Haoran alone can deal with us, husband and wife?"
As the Male Demon Hunter spoke, his body shot down from high in the air towards Xu Meijing below. By the time his words finished, he had already appeared directly above Xu Meijing.
He gripped the massive axe in his hands, raising it high. It seemed he was preparing to finish off Xu Meijing along with Yang Haoran, who was beneath the barrier.
Under these circumstances, Ye Zhiqiu, who was similarly being suppressed by the Female Demon Hunter, was completely unable to intervene and rescue them. He could only watch helplessly as the Male Demon Hunter's axe descended!
"Die, all of you! ! !"
Just as the axe was about to strike Xu Meijing, the Pure Yin Qi within the barrier suddenly vanished completely, revealing Yang Haoran, who was sitting cross-legged. Yang Haoran's eyes snapped open, a pair of Ghost Eyes flashed with cold light, and dense Yin Qi surged within his eyes.
Without him making any discernible movement, a black ray shot out from within the barrier, like a bolt of black lightning, instantly piercing through the barrier and colliding with the Demon Hunter's massive axe.
BOOM! ! !
With a tremendous roar, the black ray revealed its form. This black ray was none other than Yang Haoran's Soul Armament, Remnant Moon.
Remnant Moon blocked the Demon Hunter's massive axe, but Remnant Moon's power was clearly insufficient. As it blocked the axe, it actually began to tremble violently.
This sudden turn of events caused the Demon Hunter's expression to instantly sour. He let out a furious roar and powerfully exerted force with both hands.
"Shatter for me! ! !"
BOOM! ! !
Remnant Moon was shattered, and the axe still cleaved down. The immense power caused the entire Broken Head Mountain to collapse, and a vast cloud of dust immediately billowed up!
