Duan Gujin saw some black hidden weapons break through the ice block, and he waved his right hand, quickly striking numerous Void Palms into the seawater ahead.

Moments later, all the black hidden weapons were destroyed by him.

Seeing those black hidden weapons explode, black liquid appeared in the seawater, and he immediately understood that the black liquid was highly likely poisonous.

"Everyone, attack together!"

The Nine-headed Sea Demon at the front shouted loudly after seeing three Human Warriors appear ahead.

Immediately, the sea demons behind it, each exuding a killing aura, quickly charged toward the three of them.

"Retreat quickly!"

Duan Gujin frowned deeply; he knew that the sea demons were coming menacingly, and not only did they have greater strength but were also far superior in number.

If the three of them were surrounded by the sea demons, it would be extremely difficult to break free.

Hence, the three of them swiftly swam towards the location of the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples.

As soon as they detected they were close to those Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples, Duan Gujin immediately shouted loudly.

"Fellow disciples in front, the sea demon army is attacking, everyone get ready for battle! The sea demon army is about to attack from behind!"

Hearing Duan Gujin's loud shouts, all the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples extended their Divine Sense to scout Duan Gujin and the other two.

Moments later, upon detecting that a large group of sea demons was indeed following the three of them, they gasped in shock.

Previously, they had been closely monitoring those sea demons, knowing they were likely to engage in a final battle with them here.

But in their hearts, they had been praying not to clash with those sea demons first, fully aware there were not many martial artists stationed here to guard, and they couldn't fight a major battle against ten thousand sea demons.

A Taihuang Immortal Sect disciple sensed that ten thousand sea demons were rapidly charging towards their camp, his face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed into the Ancient God Ruins to report to an elder of the Shattering Void Realm responsible for this operation.

"Elder Cheng, it's not good, the sea demons have begun their attack!"

Hearing the disciple's shouts, Elder Cheng, who was in charge of this operation, immediately took several high-ranking members out with him.

Previously, they discovered signs of loosening rule power within the Ancient God Ruins, speculating that the array had weakened, leading them to send some array-breaking experts here.

However, as the rule power within the Ancient God Ruins remained unstable, for safety, the Taihuang Immortal Sect only sent part of their elite to the outer layer of the Ancient God Ruins to break the outer array.

Breaking the array doesn't rely on numbers; it requires the intervention of an array master skilled in arrays.

Thus, in the past few days, the Taihuang Immortal Sect had stationed most of their disciples in a nearby city.

And a portion of the disciples skilled in array-breaking were led by Elder Cheng into the outer layer of the Ancient God Ruins to break the array within.

During their operation, they also noticed a large group of sea demons appearing nearby.

But at that time, the sea demons were few, so they sent a considerable number of experts to keep a close watch on them to prevent sudden attacks.

Over these days, they had been at peace, with no signs of the sea demons attacking them.

The Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples outside soon saw the return of the five spies they had sent; all five reported that the sea demons were attacking.

"What do you think is happening?"

Elder Cheng immediately gathered the five spies to ask what exactly had gone wrong.

"I'm not sure, I just saw the sea demons charging towards here!"

The five spies gathered together and recounted everything they'd seen to Elder Cheng.

Among the five, four only saw the sea demons rushing towards the Ancient God Ruins like a tide.

"I saw a person in our attire and two others in ordinary clothing being pursued by the sea demons!"

In the midst of the five, one of the spies saw Duan Gujin and the others.

"Our person?"

Elder Cheng's eyes flickered; he wasn't clear on who the spy referred to as "our person."

After all, in the nearby city, many elders and disciples from Taihuang Immortal Sect were resting and recuperating, waiting for the array here to be broken.

"We'll investigate the truth later; right now, we need to see if we can stop those sea demons here. If their strength is truly formidable, everyone should retreat immediately!" ordered Elder Cheng.

"Understood!"

Receiving the order, all the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples prepared for battle.

Duan Gujin and Qing Lian did not enter the Ancient God Ruins but went around it.

By the time the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples reacted, Duan Gujin and the others had already left.

Upon learning this, Elder Cheng's eyes flickered; he was unsure of the origins of Duan Gujin and the others who had just left.

"Humans, damn them!"

Moments later, the sea demons surged over like a tide.

In the sea, although Human Warriors had the upper hand with weapons, sea demons had the advantage of terrain.

The battle between Human Warriors and sea demons in the sea often came down to luck.

Human Warriors have Dark Weapons, but sea demons have all sorts of unexpected means.

For instance, among sea demons, there are species with special abilities, like the Sea Suppressing Turtle.

In no time, ten thousand sea demons surrounded the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples, but they didn't immediately launch an attack.

Since the sea demons didn't initiate the attack, the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples stayed put, observing.

A while later, everyone saw a massive flash of light erupting from under the sea ahead.

Upon seeing the flash, the faces of Elder Cheng and others changed dramatically; they remembered a fearsome sea demon among the sea demons.

This sea demon is called the Sea Suppressing Turtle, a gigantic turtle. This turtle has a terrifying innate ability to launch deafening sonic attacks forward. This sonic attack can render all present Human Warriors' Divine Souls immobile for a hundred breaths.

Generally, this immobility is relative; the stronger Human Warriors can regain control over their Divine Souls faster, while weaker warriors might not manage within a hundred breaths.

If a Warrior cannot control their Divine Soul, their combat power is not much greater than an ordinary person.

Although all present Warriors were not weak, it was extremely difficult to oppose the Sea Suppressing Turtle, whose cultivation was at least at the Martial Saint Realm.

Thirty breaths later, all Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples within the Ancient God Ruins heard a sharp cry.
