The first few dozen White Light Blades shot towards the two elders who had their backs to Leo.
Horror flashed across the two elders’ faces, but they reacted quickly, each producing a talisman with their left hand.
However, they had no time to activate the Talismans before the White Light Blades pierced through their bodies.
Blood splattered as their eyes widened, and their life force quickly extinguished.
For a cultivator who hasn’t reached the Spirit God realm and cultivated a Spirit Core, a cultivator’s physical death meant true death; only a true deity could bring them back to life.
The remaining White Light Blades then targeted Elder Frost, Elder Thunder and another elder.
The elder, being a bit farther away, had more time to react and swiftly dodged the deadly White Light Blades.
However, the White Light Blades still left several bloody gashes on his face.
Facing more incoming White Light Blades, the elder activated a red Talisman covered in runes.
A massive flaming shield enveloped the elder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of White Light Blades struck the flaming shield, creating intense ripples.
“Bastard!”
Elder Frost and Elder Thunder cursed as they hastily withdrew the spiritual energy they had been channeling into the rune-engraved sword.
Simultaneously, thick ice-white and lightning shields appeared in front of them.
The White Light Blades struck the shields, causing violent ripples.
Leo knew that Elder Frost and Elder Thunder were the strongest, so among the White Light Blades aimed at them, he included sword beams infused with extreme cold.
The sword beams pierced through the lightning shield, creating an opening.
In Elder Thunder’s astonished expression, the sword beam struck his chest.
A finger-deep bloody hole appeared in Elder Thunder’s chest, but the blood was instantly frozen.
A terrifying cold force spread through Elder Thunder’s body, attempting to freeze his blood.
Elder Thunder looked down at the wound on his chest, his face grim as he roared, “Get out!”
Lightning flashed across his body, forcing out the extreme cold from within him with his powerful lightning energy.
The sword beam aimed at Elder Frost also pierced through his ice-white shield.
But Elder Frost reacted faster than Elder Thunder, grabbing the ice-white sword beam with his left hand.
Elder Frost then crushed the ice-white sword beam.
Afterward, Elder Frost, Elder Thunder, and the remaining elder all turned to look at their attacker.
In mid-air stood a young man in white.
“Who are you? Where are Derick and Glenn?” Elder Frost demanded angrily of Leo.
Elder Frost was surprised. Glenn and Derick were supposed to be guarding the valley entrance, each with a warning Jade Talisman. They should have received some alert.
Additionally, there was an invisible rune formation set up in the valley path.
Leo ignored Elder Frost for a moment. Looking at the two elders he had killed and the injured Elder Thunder, he felt a bit regretful that he hadn’t been able to kill Elder Thunder.
The sudden change in the situation halted Gilberto in his tracks as he was in the middle of drawing Contract Beast Runes on an eggshell.
Elder Warren, who was trying to break the Sealing Light Screen, also turned his gaze towards Leo.
“It’s you!” Recognizing Leo, Gilberto’s eyes filled with murderous intent as he shouted harshly.
“Gilberto, do you know this person?” Elder Frost asked coldly.
“Elder Frost, he is the lord of Clearwind Town!” Gilberto pointed at Leo angrily.
“The lord of Clearwind Town? The owner of Starfall Shop?” The light in Elder Frost’s old eyes grew colder.
Although he had been in seclusion for years, he had heard of the newly risen Starfall Shop.
The sect’s recent decline in sales was due to Starfall Shop.
“How bold of you to show yourself and attack us!” Elder Thunder glared at Leo with intense killing intent. The strange cold force within him had been expelled, but his injuries had not yet healed.
As one of the four great elders of Runecarver Sect, he never expected to be injured by a junior.
At the center of the formation, Frost Spirit Beast roared loudly.
The roar drew everyone’s attention back to it.
Due to Leo’s attack, Elder Frost and the others had stopped channeling spiritual energy into the rune-engraved sword, causing it to be covered in hard ice.
The rune-engraved sword shattered.
With the sword shattered, Frost Pearl’s cold energy attacked the chains. The runes on the chains broke apart as frost began to form on them.
Additionally, with two elders killed by Leo, two formation points were lost, dimming the pentagram rune formation significantly.
Now only Elder Frost, Elder Thunder, and one remaining elder held onto the chains.
As the runes shattered, cracks began to appear on the black chains.
“Elders, please kill Frost Spirit Beast first. I’ve wanted to kill this brat for a long time!” Gilberto glared at Leo with undisguised killing intent. Although he hadn’t finished drawing Contract Beast Runes, he couldn’t wait any longer.
With those words, Gilberto’s spiritual energy surged. He summoned a long spear covered in fire runes that emitted intense heat.
The long spear was clearly a top-tier spiritual weapon, almost evolving into a Spirit Treasure.
Leo sneered at Gilberto. “You’ve reached mid-stage Spirit Saint peak and gained a top-tier spiritual weapon. You want to kill me? In your next life!”
Leo’s disdainful smile made Gilberto even angrier as he shouted, “You brat! I’ll tear you apart!”
Gilberto stomped hard on the ground and shot towards Leo. At the same time, he summoned ten fire Talismans that circled around him.
“A defeated opponent is not worth my time!” Leo laughed coldly as he reached into his Storage Sack and pulled out an ancient bronze scroll.
Leo unfurled the scroll, releasing a fierce sword intent into the air.
A Puppet General clad in silver-white armor and wielding a silver-white longsword appeared.
“Kill him!” Leo commanded the Puppet General as Gilberto charged at him.
Upon hearing Leo’s command, Heavenly Thunder power surged from Puppet General’s body. Lightning wrapped around Puppet General and its silver longsword.
In an instant, Puppet General transformed into a silver-white streak of light and rushed towards Gilberto.
“A puppet!?”
Seeing Leo summon a puppet made Gilberto’s pupils contract.
