The city guard camp was empty and desolate, and a great battle had suddenly erupted.

On one side were the high-ranking generals of the Maplewood City Guard, and on the other were the Twelve Bone Masks of the White Bone Dao.

They were engaged in pairs of deadly combat.

Big Beard Fang against the Rat Bone Mask.

Wei Yan fought the Snake Bone Mask.

Zhao Lang faced the Dog Bone Mask head-on.

One was a heavily injured peak Tenglong realm cultivator, one was a young man newly entering the Tenglong realm, and one was a Tongtian realm cultivator who had never even glimpsed the Heavenly Gate.

And their opponents were three peak Tenglong realm experts.

The disparity in strength was vast, and the chances of victory were slim, but no one retreated.

Zhao Lang entered the battlefield last, but he quickly created the most intense moment.

He used stone walls to block the Dog Bone Mask and surrounded him with a sea of fire.

Stone thorns protruded, and vine snakes moved.

He cast spells rapidly, displaying a complex and varied system of Taoist techniques.

From within the sea of fire, the souls of evil dogs pounced out.

Above the stone wall, the Dog Bone Mask descended from the sky!

“A mere Tongtian realm brat dares to interfere in a battle of this level?”

With a wave of his hand, the dog souls howled in unison, their grotesque forms terrifying.

Some dogs breathed out a foul stench.

Some dogs attacked with lightning speed.

Some dogs were enormous and gigantic, while others had sharp teeth dripping with saliva.

He was like an army of one, overwhelming and directly extinguishing the sea of fire!

Zhao Lang retreated rapidly, erecting stone walls.

He leaped across the cracks in the ground, constantly creating obstacles and moving around.

He knew very well the extent of Big Beard Fang’s injuries. Knowing the man, he wouldn’t have spat out that mouthful of blood unless he was truly unable to hold on any longer.

He also understood that Wei Yan, newly entered into the Tenglong realm, would find it difficult to defeat his opponent in a short time, even though he greatly believed in Wei Yan.

As for himself, he hadn’t even pushed open the Heavenly Gate. Forget about defeating his opponent, the chance of even surviving was as faint as a distant star.

But he would definitely do everything in his power.

Because everyone’s chances were slim, each of them had to give it their all.

There was no way to retreat, only to move forward.

Even if it was just a distant star, Zhao Lang desperately wanted to touch it.

On the high platform, Big Beard Fang was already locked in a fierce battle with the Rat Bone Mask.

After all, he had been ambushed by the three Bone Masks shortly after leaving the camp and had suffered heavy injuries.

His body was already failing, and he was relying entirely on his willpower to persevere and refuse to give up.

But he instead took the offensive, fighting with increasing courage.

Each move was a desperate gamble, forcing his opponent to retreat again and again.

As the commander, he was well aware of Wei Yan and Zhao Lang’s strength, and even more so of the danger of the current situation.

If he were to collapse here, the situation would immediately be reversed.

Therefore, he not only couldn’t collapse, but he had to win. He had to use his heavily injured body and fading soul to defeat or even kill his opponent in order to reverse the entire situation and have a glimmer of hope.

But the Rat Bone Mask was battle-hardened and seemed to have seen through his intentions. He fought steadily, sometimes preferring not to attack in order to defend and evade. He wouldn’t give Fang a chance to gamble on the line between life and death.

Instead, he wanted to grind him down.

The earth disaster was still spreading and was severely affecting the battle.

The earth dragon turned over, and the mountains and rivers shook.

Both sides were experts, which allowed them to maintain fierce attacks amidst the earth disaster.

However, what was the point of this battle? Even if they desperately killed their opponents, would it have any effect on the situation in Maplewood City?

Wei Yan knew very well that everything was beyond saving, just like when he was in the center of Little Maple Town and saw the mist dissipate, leaving the ground empty.

But he couldn’t consider such questions at this moment.

No matter what, he could never watch Big Beard Fang and Zhao Lang die in front of him.

Especially when he still had the ability to fight. Especially when he firmly believed that there was still a chance. He could fight his opponent!

With his saber in hand, Wei Yan charged into the Blood Snake formation, his blade flashing back and forth, his body advancing and his saber turning.

Although he had only just entered the Tenglong realm, he was fearless even when facing a peak Tenglong realm expert.

Not only did he not retreat, not only did he not evade, but he advanced and constantly maintained the offensive!

This was the confidence of a genius, accumulated through countless battles.

Wei Yan was confident that with his saber in hand, nothing was un-cuttable, and no one was invincible.

However, how could the Snake Bone Mask be weak? She had struggled in the treacherous White Bone Dao to this day, ranking among the Twelve Masks, and was by no means a delicate flower from a greenhouse. Her peak Tenglong realm cultivation had grown through fierce battles.

Now, provoked to her ferocity, she opened her cherry lips and shot out her long tongue, which instantly transformed into a beam of cold light, approaching Wei Yan’s face.

A White Bone magic weapon, a sword named Snake Tongue!

Kuaixue (saber name) rose up at an impossible angle, blocking the Snake Tongue sword head-on.

With a flick of her finger, the Snake Tongue sword instantly softened and traveled forward along the Kuaixue (saber name).

However, at this moment, her movements suddenly stalled. Her entire body was trapped in a stone wall that had suddenly appeared!

She had never imagined that the small vice-captain of the Tongtian realm could actually free up his hands first under the pressure of a peak Tenglong realm cultivator.

How was this possible?

The stone wall could only restrain her for less than a breath.

But for Wei Yan, one breath was too long to determine life and death!

With a shake of his hand, Kuaixue (saber name), along with the Snake Tongue wrapped around the blade, whistled away. And he had already appeared in front of the stone wall, his right fist drawn back, and then thrust forward!

With almost endless, almost eye-piercing golden light, he punched forward!

A figure suddenly appeared.

The golden light dissipated.

The Dog Bone Mask was hanging on Wei Yan’s arm, his entire chest and abdomen pierced through. He only had time to turn his head with difficulty and glance at the Snake Bone Mask before lowering his head, his breath gone.

A secret treasure, the Shape-Shifting Talisman!

One holds the Yin Talisman, and the other holds the Yang Talisman. When used, heaven and earth are reversed, shifting shapes and changing places, making it an excellent secret treasure for team cooperation.

Among the Twelve Masks, the Dog Bone and Snake Bone were lovers.

Or rather, they shouldn’t be considered lovers, but rather “partners.”

At least, that’s what the Snake Bone Mask had always thought.

She knew very well what kind of person she was.

In her life, she had never believed in anyone, and she shouldn’t be believed by anyone.

This was not her fault, nor was it anyone else’s fault.

But this was simply the way the world was.

She believed that she already knew the truth of the world.

She and Eleventh had simply known each other since childhood. Or rather, the so-called knowing each other since childhood was just a distant glance before they each went to trial.

When they met again, they were both Twelve Bone Masks.

Sometimes she would even think, if they had been assigned together in the beginning, who would be the only one to survive?

There would be no answer to this question.

At the level of the Twelve Bone Masks, the White Bone Dao would not allow them to kill each other.

She was with the Dog Bone Mask, and she didn’t want anything, just simply to please herself.

She believed that the Dog Bone Mask was the same.

They comforted each other, but never loved each other.

They ate and traveled together, but never stayed together.

This set of Shape-Shifting Talismans was found by the Dog Bone Mask. In the past, they had used the suddenness of this set of secret treasures to complete many difficult tasks.

A set of Shape-Shifting Talismans could only be used ten times. Their set was the last time to use it.

She had never thought that someone would risk his life for her, a woman who was born dissolute and fickle.

The Snake Bone Mask stared blankly at those eyes.

Those eyes should have been cunning and fierce, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, they were full of tenderness.

And unexpectedly, they dimmed.

“Ah!”

She roared to the sky!

The stone wall that bound her exploded.
