As soon as the words fell, Ivy’s eyes narrowed, and she activated one of her trump cards.
In the next moment, a blazing flame rushed towards the opponent, igniting the air and brightening the sky.
The opponent, not expecting Ivy to unleash such an attack, was caught off guard. The scorching gas brushed past his arm.
His entire arm instantly turned to charcoal and then shattered into pieces.
“Ah…” The opponent screamed in agony, his body flying backward several hundred meters, his face filled with horror.
To his despair, before he could fully stop in mid-air, another sword force was already upon him.
“No…” The man screamed in terror.
Before he could finish his sentence, the sword force pierced through his throat, and he fell straight down.
“Ivy, are you okay?” Ivy flashed to Harleen’s side.
“Thank you, Ivy. I’m fine…” Harleen responded, but her pupils suddenly contracted. “Ivy, watch out!”
At that moment, less than a hundred meters ahead, a ripple appeared in the void, and a large blade formed by Chi power slashed towards Ivy from behind.
As Harleen shouted, her sword trembled with a force to meet the attack.
Ivy sensed the danger behind her and instinctively dodged to the side.
After a loud crash, both figures were thrown several hundred meters away, leaving two trails of blood in mid-air-Harleen and Ivy.
After one move, Harleen’s condition worsened, her combat power dropping to less than forty percent.
Ivy fared slightly better, thanks to Harleen taking part of the impact for her; otherwise, she would have been severely injured.
“Not bad. Even injured, you can block some of my power. You surprise me!”
As the two stabilized themselves, an old woman from the Holy Ghost Tribe appeared not far from them, with a half-step Entering Dao Realm cultivation.
“Harleen, take this Chi Condensing Pill!” Ivy took a deep breath and handed a pill to Harleen.
“Okay!” Harleen wiped the blood from her mouth and swallowed the pill.
“If you surrender, I can spare your lives!” The old woman glanced at them.
“Harleen, rest for a bit!” Ivy said after taking a pill herself.
“Ivy, you can’t beat her alone. Let’s fight together!” Harleen replied after taking a deep breath.
Both their faces were solemn. They knew that even in peak condition, they couldn’t defeat a half-step Entering Dao Realm cultivator. Now, both were severely injured.
“Still resisting?” The old woman said coldly. “Then I’ll cripple your cultivation first!”
With those words, she flipped her hands, and two waves of energy surged forward, causing the surrounding air to churn wildly.
Knowing they had no way out, Harleen and Ivy exchanged glances and attacked together.
“Harleen, Ivy, you can’t win. Retreat!” Aubree’s voice came from afar.
A powerful wave of energy followed her voice, overwhelming everything in its path.
With a loud crash, three figures were thrown back simultaneously.
The old woman flew a thousand meters away, her bones shattered and meridians severed. She fell to the ground lifelessly.
With Aubree’s current strength, killing a half-step Entering Dao Realm cultivator in one move was no challenge.
Harleen and Ivy were thrown seven or eight hundred meters by the residual energy wave but managed to stabilize themselves mid-air, looking very weak.
It was clear that both were at their limits.
“Harleen, Ivy, return to the Institute!” Aubree shouted at them.
“Aubree, be careful!” Harleen replied after taking a deep breath.
The two turned and flew towards the Institute.
They knew that in their current state, staying would only be a burden. It was better to return to the Institute to recover and then come back.
“Stay here!” An old man’s figure suddenly appeared behind them and struck out with his palm.
“Get lost!” Aubree shouted as she met his attack with her own palm strike.
Their attacks collided and both retreated two or three hundred meters.
In one move, they were evenly matched.
“Aubree, be careful!” Harleen shouted again as they flew thousands of meters away.
“You old fool, I’ll send you off first!” The old man glanced at Harleen and Ivy’s retreating figures before turning to Aubree with a cold voice.
He then charged at Aubree with full force.
“If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have what it takes!”
Seeing that Harleen and Ivy were temporarily safe, Aubree calmed down and faced the old man head-on.
The Holy Ghost Tribe had sent over ten Entering Dao Realm experts this time. Besides Ace Hatfield, the strongest were two mid-to-late Entering Dao Realm cultivators currently fighting Spencer Bailey and Tyler Bailey.
Spencer Bailey was evenly matched with his opponent, while Tyler Bailey was slightly weaker and already injured.
Apart from these two, the Holy Ghost Tribe had another ten Entering Dao Realm experts. The strongest among them was a fourth-rank Entering Dao Realm elder fighting Luke Haynes of the Institute’s Punishment Hall.
Luke Haynes had recently broken through to fourth-rank Entering Dao Realm and was now second only to Spencer Bailey and Tyler Bailey in skill.
Additionally, the Institute had eight more Entering Dao Realm experts including Matthew Lawrence and Aubree, though they were all early-stage Entering Dao Realm cultivators.
At this moment, each of them was fighting an Entering Dao Realm expert from the Holy Ghost Tribe.
From Canyon View Institute’s lineup, their overall strength was far superior to the now-destroyed Holy Heaven Sect.
Holy Heaven Sect’s strongest member was their leader Carmelo Aguirre, who was only at fifth-rank Entering Dao Realm late stage.
Even without Elder Xavier, Spencer Bailey alone was several levels stronger than Carmelo Aguirre.
At this moment, a muffled sound rang out as an elder from the Holy Ghost Tribe at first-rank Entering Dao Realm sent an Institute elder flying with a single strike.
But it wasn’t over. The elder’s eyes narrowed as he chased after him with another violent attack.
“Damn it!” The Institute elder’s pupils contracted in fear.
He knew he couldn’t withstand this attack and a look of despair crossed his face.
Just as he thought he was about to meet his end, a powerful wave of energy surged in to block the attack from the first-rank Entering Dao Realm elder.
The strong wave also sent the Institute elder flying three or four hundred meters. Though injured, he survived.
“Thank you, Mr Billy!” The elder shouted towards Billy who had arrived mid-air.
“Rest for a while. Leave him to me!”
Billy replied as he charged towards the first-rank Entering Dao Realm elder.
