Although they were lucky to have dodged, cries of agony erupted from another part of the battlefield; many Cultivators were killed by Darts suddenly flying out from the shadows.
The unexpected assassination made all the Cultivators from the Central Plains furrow their brows; they felt that Cultivators from beyond their regions had made their move.
"Which damn organization threw those darts?" a Divinity Transformation Realm expert inquired.
However, the only response he got was several darts imbued with immense power.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"
"Damn!"
Faced with this situation, the Divinity Transformation Realm expert cursed under his breath and then swung his sword to block them.
"Bang, bang!"
Although the hidden weapons were blocked, the hands of this Divinity Transformation Realm expert trembled continuously, clearly due to the attack of a tremendous inner strength.
At this point, he no longer dared to act arrogantly.
Even a middle-stage expert of the Divine Transformation First Realm was rendered feebler, it seemed that this group of foreign masters was certainly not simple. At that moment, all Cultivators from the Central Plains began to feel apprehensive.
The next moment, another wave of silent assassinations arrived; this time, the foreign Cultivators revealed their weapons and proceeded to stab their targets.
The night was originally their main battlefield, but when fog was added, everything became more balanced; they had not brought thermal imagers this time, only night vision goggles; and night vision goggles cannot see through fog.
When the assassinations resumed, at that time, all Cultivators from the Central Plains set aside their hatreds, united as one, and confronted the external threat.
It can be said that during a disaster, the Cultivators from the Central Plains prioritized collective interest. If they had been disunited, they would only have been defeated by the enemy one by one, leading eventually to their complete demise and disappearance.
The primary goal of the foreign organization in black was the thousand-year Blood Ginseng, but seeing the sudden drop in the strength of the Central Plains Cultivators, they felt they could manage an assassination; after all, one of their ultimate goals was to exterminate all Cultivators from the Central Plains.
However, at this moment, all Cultivators from the Central Plains united as one, a response that really puzzled the attackers; they had thought the Central Plains Cultivators would continue to fight among themselves as before.
Now, they had thought they could quickly eliminate these people, but unexpectedly, failing to do so quickly was a serious oversight.
As they say, unity is strength, all Cultivators from the Central Plains cooperated with each other, leaving the foreign Cultivators with no strategy to execute.
At that time, the organization in black communicated with codewords, targeting Lin Yifan who possessed the thousand-year Blood Ginseng; if they could seize the Blood Ginseng, they would immediately retreat.
A prolonged battle is prone to unforeseen changes, because they did not know if other Cultivators or Clan members from the Central Plains might arrive and join the fight against them; hence, a swift conclusion was preferable.
After all, if total power were calculated, all foreign Cultivators combined could only compete slightly with the Central Plains Cultivators, but only just that, as overpowering them was absolutely impossible due to the profound heritage of the great Cultivation Sects of the Central Plains.
Upon command, immediately, Lin Yifan's vicinity became the center of the battle.
Three early-stage cultivators from the Divine Transformation First Realm appeared there to assassinate Lin Yifan.
At that moment, Lin Yanping hurriedly drew her sword to intercept, helping Lin Yifan block the attackers. However, she could only handle two foreign Cultivators from the Divine Transformation First Realm; how Lin Yifan would fare against the remaining one was a matter of his own fortune.
Dealing with a cultivator at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, Lin Yifan could barely manage a strike; however, facing a cultivator in the early stage of the Divine Transformation First Realm was definitely impossible for him.
Even using the Witchcraft Palm, he couldn't injure this cultivator from beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm; because his "Serpent Spirit Qi" at this stage was still unable to penetrate the body of a cultivator from the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Facing a powerless situation, Lin Yifan had only two choices, one was to hide, and the other was to flee.
You can hide from the first day of the month but not the fifteenth, so hiding was not an option; therefore, he could only flee.
As long as he could safely bring back the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, the mission would be considered complete; and Li Dafeng and the others would definitely find a way to escape, he needn't worry too much about that.
With his decision made, Lin Yifan, without a second thought, immediately fled towards the outside of the Misty Forest; there shouldn't be any cultivators waiting outside the Misty Forest now.
However, he had only gone a few steps when a man in black intercepted him ahead.
At that moment, he had no choice but to flee in another direction.
Time was pressing, and he dared not attack the man in black who was intercepting him, because the cultivator in the early stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm in black was relentlessly pursuing him right behind him. If he paused for even a second, he might immediately be in danger; hence he couldn't afford any delay.
After running a few steps, another blocker appeared in the other direction. Now, the only direction unblocked was by the cliffside.
Divinity Transformation Middle Stage powerhouse Li Dafeng was fighting by the cliffside, so, he thought about going over to join him, letting Li Dafeng deal with the man in black from the Divine Transformation First Realm.
But what he didn't know was that this decision would put him in even greater danger.
After a dozen seconds, after reaching Li Dafeng's side, Lin Yifan called out, "Brother Li, help me block the man in black from the Divine Transformation Realm who is chasing me."
Upon hearing Lin Yifan's voice, Li Dafeng couldn't help but recall the scene of Lin Yifan rolling in the sheets with his junior sister on the ground, which inexplicably ignited his anger; he blurted out in response, "I'm dealing with a mid-stage powerhouse from beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm right now, extremely dangerous, I can't spare my hands, go find someone else for help."
He could have made a move to intercept, but at that moment, anger took over his mind, clouding his judgment and leading him to make the wrong choice.
Lin Yifan didn't know whether Li Dafeng was telling the truth or not, and he didn't have much time to think about it; because the cultivator from the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm was already catching up to him.
So he immediately fled to the side, trying to find other cultivators from the Divinity Transformation Realm in the Central Plains to help, but before he could find any, the early stage man in black from beyond caught up with him.
At that moment, the man in black struck with his sword, swift and fierce, leaving him nowhere to hide.
At the critical moment, Lin Yifan had no choice but to draw on all his strength, unleashing his most powerful technique to counter the intense strike from the man in black in the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.
The next moment, the Witchcraft Palm collided with the long sword carrying immense power, generating a force that swept across all directions.
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, a surge through Lin Yifan's body caused a tumultuous upheaval in the sea of blood within him, and every organ was subjected to a severe impact from an external force.
"Pfft!"
Thus, within less than a second, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
But that wasn't the worst of it. The worst was, Lin Yifan was blown away by the strong recoil; in a flash, he was sent flying over the abyss.
