Feng Qi was heavily injured and looked at Qian Fa before saying,
"Thanks, brother, without you, I would have been in trouble."
"No need for that, I am just happy that you are fine," Qian Fa's left arm was missing, it was because when he focused on helping Feng Qi, his opponent got the time to free himself from his vines during the fight, and Qian Fa lost his left arm as he was already distracted. But their opponents were also injured, just as they were.
On the other hand, Til Gen and Bang Ju were on the ground, injured. They had been defeated because of their opponents' clever tactics. Their opponents worked together and forced Til Gen to use powerful defensive methods. They would always try to find a chance to free themselves from Bang Ju and attack Til Gen with a powerful combined attack. For this reason, Til Gen was forced to use powerful defensive methods that consumed a lot of essence water.
And sometimes, they all ignored Til Gen and attacked Bang Ju together, again forcing Til Gen to use powerful defensive methods to protect Bang Ju from their enemies' combined attacks.
This way, all three of their opponents rendered Til Gen useless by making him use all of his essence water. And Til Gen also couldn't do anything as well. It was because if he tried to save his essence water, then he would not have been able to protect himself and Bang Ju from their enemies' powerful attacks. And in desperation, he could not do anything but use all of his essence water.
And after rendering Til Gen useless, they all ganged up on Bang Ju. Bang Ju fought with everything he had and only managed to injure his three enemies before he was also defeated.
However, their opponents were also injured because of Bang Ju and Til Gen. They had distributed their roles in the beginning, and because of this, they had managed to give their three opponents a tough time.
But, it was still a fact that their opponents were standing while they were on the ground.
"You two underestimated yourself. Are you two ready to die?" One of the three came forward and said before pointing his palm toward Bang Ju, ready to kill him.
…..
On the other hand, there were no results from the Ma clan's four elders. All four of them were still fighting. After all, the fight of the experts could not be decided within a few minutes and not much time had passed since the battles had started.
Meanwhile, elder Jun Nie was also fighting his opponent and there was no sign of their battle ending. And it could be seen that elder Jun Nie was not using his powerful attacks for some reason. If he wanted to, he would have already gained an upper hand over his opponent, or his battle might have also ended.
"That's enough, you have had your fun. Now, let's end this." Elder Ene said. They were doing nothing but standing there, while their four opponents kept on attacking him in vain. However, they suddenly said this.
Both of the academy leaders began to raise their hands. Just as their hands moved, darkness slowly began to emerge from their bodies, from the ground, and also from the surroundings.
The darkness rose like smoke and slowly began to spread into the surroundings.
"All of you, get away, and don't let the darkness envelop you!!!"Boss Zu shouted and ran backward. His voice spread in the surroundings and was heard by everyone.
"What is happening?" the man who was about to kill Bang Ju said and looked in the direction of the voice with a confused expression. But, he saw darkness and sensed danger from it. He decided to listen to the voice and began to run.
"So, they decided to make a move." Bang Ju looked at the darkness and said.
"If they had acted before, we would not have had to fight." Til Gen replied.
"So, they decided to make their move. What are you going to do now? But tell me, did you forget to warn your subordinates to not try to kill their disciples? I wonder if you can run? It would be interesting to see." Elder Jun Nie said to his opponent with a smiling face.
However, his opponent did not have the mood to talk, he simply turned around and ran. But Jun Nie did not try to chase him.
"Why are they running like this?"
"I don't know. And what is this darkness?"
Si Kim and the other rank 1 and rank 2 cultivators were confused.
"Brother Yang, what is this darkness?" Hyun asked Yang Zhai.
"Just wait and see." Yang Zhai smiled and did not say much.
"Okay,"
At the same time, the speed of the darkness increased. It moved and enveloped everything in its way. Its edges kept on distorting. This darkness was so dark that it could be seen even at night. Not just that, even the night itself was enveloped by the darkness, moonlight could not shine in or on this darkness. Nothing inside the darkness could be seen.
Whilst both of the academy elders' clothes were also slowly turning dark black. A black aura was rising from their bodies like smoke. Their eyes were also emitting a black aura and their irises had already turned pure black. However, their transformation stopped halfway. It was because they had stopped it themselves.
Meanwhile, darkness had already surrounded the area around them. From the moment this darkness was released, only ten to twenty seconds had passed. Its speed kept on increasing. It had already enveloped the Bai clan and Ma clan members because they did not try to run and only stood in their places. After a few seconds, it managed to reach the people who were about to kill Bang Ju and Til Gen.
"No, no, I don't want to die…" The man who was about to kill Bang Ju shouted out of fear after he saw that the darkness was right behind him and was about to devour him.
"Save me,"
"No,"
The other two shouted as well before they were also enveloped by the darkness.
After the darkness enveloped them, they disappeared into the darkness. No sound or light came out of the darkness. It was completely quiet and nothing could be heard from it. After the three men were enveloped by it, their voices could not be heard, their auras could not be sensed or felt, and nothing could be seen.
The darkness did not stop there and kept on spreading.
