Augustus arrogantly surveyed the elite werewolves he had brought with him and shouted, “Great werewolves, just enjoy the slaughter. Today, this place will be awash with blood!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!” The surviving werewolves, their eyes blood-red, had their previously low morale greatly boosted.
Especially when the werewolves noticed that the golden light screen above no longer produced giant swords, they became even more frenzied and bloodthirsty, pouncing on the elite disciples.
The elite disciples, panicked by the defeat of Donovan and Harrison, became disoriented.
Under the werewolves’ frenzied attacks, several more elite disciples were brutally killed.
Meigetsu, Holden Coleman, and others felt the pressure increase sharply and could only struggle to protect themselves.
Violet gritted her teeth and took out the last Jade Talisman from her bag.
This Jade Talisman was entirely red, with more profound and complex runes carved on it than those on the previous ones she had crushed.
Using her Spiritual Power to amplify her voice, Violet shouted, “Everyone, retreat into the Seven Stars Sword Sect now!”
Realizing that Violet was about to launch another attack, everyone resisted the werewolves’ assault while retreating towards the mountain gate of the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
“You lowly Atraria Martial Cultivators, none of you will live today. Elite werewolves, kill them all!” Augustus laughed maniacally.
Seeing everyone retreating, Violet took out two Major Vitality Pills and swallowed them.
The medicinal power quickly spread through Violet’s body. She then channeled all her Spiritual Power into the red Jade Talisman in her hand.
Next, Violet slammed the Jade Talisman onto the stone tablet at the mountain gate.
The stone tablet turned completely red, and a red beam of light shot into the sky.
Simultaneously, seven red beams of light shot up from seven directions around the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
With the appearance of the eight red beams, a mysterious force surged forth, forming a massive transparent light screen.
The transparent light screen took on an inverted bowl shape, enveloping the entire Seven Stars Sword Sect, including Spirit Crocodile Cliff.
The surface of the transparent light screen rippled with patterns, showcasing an extremely powerful defensive force.
A werewolf viscount, eager to kill an elite disciple, rushed to the junction of the protective light screen and the ground but was instantly split in half by the light screen.
The protective light screen summoned by Violet was a defensive array set up by Leo to guard against external invasions that the Seven Stars Sword Sect could not withstand.
The red Jade Talisman that Violet crushed was the key to activating this defensive array.
Leo had given the Jade Talisman to Violet instead of Jennifer because only someone with Spiritual Power could activate the array.
Another werewolf viscount rushed to the protective light screen. Unaware of what it was, he punched it.
The terrifying rebound force of the protective light screen sent the werewolf viscount flying.
Now, only Donovan and the unconscious Harrison remained outside the protective light screen.
Violet anxiously shouted, “Father, bring Elder Harrison in quickly!”
Donovan carried the unconscious Harrison on his back and, using his remaining Aura, struggled towards the mountain gate of the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
“Leave your life here!” Oliver swung his black scythe ferociously.
Although the scythe itself did not hit Donovan, its blade still left a bloody gash on Donovan’s back.
Violet rapidly changed her hand seals to open a gap in the protective light screen.
Ignoring the pain in his back, Donovan quickened his pace and carried Harrison through the gap.
Just as Donovan rushed in, the gap quickly closed.
The protective light screen now resembled an enormous inverted transparent bowl, protecting the entire Seven Stars Sword Sect within.
The ferocious werewolves were all kept outside.
The werewolf counts and viscounts gathered outside the mountain gate of the Seven Stars Sword Sect and began furiously clawing at the transparent protective light screen with their massive wolf claws.
However, the powerful protective light screen could not be easily shattered by werewolves; at most, they could only create slight ripples on its surface.
Oliver, wielding a massive black scythe, also approached the protective light screen.
“Move aside!” Oliver shouted, driving away the counts and viscounts in front of him.
The werewolf counts and viscounts obediently stepped aside.
“What a worthless thing. Watch me break it!” Oliver sneered coldly and raised his black scythe with both hands.
Then Oliver fiercely slashed down with his black scythe.
Inside the light screen, everyone’s faces tensed with worry. They could imagine what would happen if the protective light screen were breached.
Although Violet had great confidence in Leo’s defensive array, she couldn’t control her nervousness and clenched her small hands tightly.
The massive black scythe violently struck the protective light screen.
The impact caused intense ripples on the light screen. The tip of the black scythe pierced through slightly.
However, as Oliver withdrew his black scythe, the damaged part of the protective light screen began to heal at a visible speed.
Within two seconds, the protective light screen was intact once again.
This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief simultaneously.
“Damn it!” Oliver roared angrily and continued to slash madly with his massive black scythe.
Under Oliver’s frenzied attacks, cracks appeared on the protective light screen. However, each crack rapidly healed after appearing, rendering Oliver’s efforts futile.
After a bout of wild slashing without breaking through, Oliver stopped and removed a gemstone necklace from his neck.
Oliver pressed the gemstone necklace against his black scythe with his left hand. His ferocious expression suddenly became devout as he looked skyward at a forty-five-degree angle and loudly chanted, “Great Dark Goddess, your devout servant Oliver beseeches you to grant me dark power to break through this obstacle.”
After his prayer, a blood-red halo emanated from the gemstone necklace in Oliver’s left hand.
This blood-red halo attached itself to the black scythe, turning it into a sinister black-red color.
Oliver put away the gemstone necklace and raised his black scythe with both hands once more before slashing down fiercely.
This time, the blade of the black scythe deeply cut into the protective light screen. But as Oliver withdrew his scythe, the large crack quickly healed again.
It was clear that Oliver could not enter through this crack in the protective light screen.
“This is impossible! Damn it!!” Oliver roared in frustration.
