Ye Li has already felt that these lava balls are at least the power of the gestational stage. If they fall into the Ye family's team, it will definitely be a disaster. Except for him and Cao Tianxuan, anyone else who encounters them will definitely be killed or injured.
While greeting Cao Tianxuan, Ye Li did not dare to be negligent. He attacked left and right, and two earth gates rose from the ground, steadily blocking the two lava balls and a large amount of falling rocks.
After his strength reached the gestational stage, the power of Ye Li's Earth Gate became much stronger. The two Earth Gates could completely block the impact of the two lava balls and also intercept a lot of falling rocks.
After the attacks of the two lava balls were transferred underground, the lava balls exploded underground. The power was indeed enormous. Fortunately, there were no family members of the Ye family around, so no one was injured.
Compared to Ye Li's ease, Cao Tianxuan had a little more difficulty. He didn't have a clever talisman like the Earth Gate, so he could only use defensive talismans to block the lava ball.
The huge lava ball exploded the moment it touched his defensive talisman. Although most of the power was blocked by the defensive talisman, it inevitably affected other people. Some of the Ye family's talisman masters in the Linghai period were injured.
"Quick, the enemy is strong, everyone prepare to retreat.
The Spiritual Sea Stage Spirit Talisman Masters will go first, and the Spiritual Pill Stage and us will follow behind. "
Cao Tianxuan shouted loudly to everyone.
In addition to the lava ball just now, the huge falling rocks also brought a lot of casualties to the Ye family team. Some Linghai period talisman masters had fallen directly under the rocks, and some people were injured.
It seems that the opponent's first wave of attacks caused considerable trouble to the Ye family.
As Cao Tianxuan gave the order to retreat, a group of masked men in black rushed out from the cliff and killed the Ye family team below.
There are about thirty people in total in these black-clothed men, much more than the Ye family members. Among them, in addition to three talisman masters in the late fetal development period, there are also many masters in the spirit descending period, and most of the rest are in the elixir period. The overall strength is more than one level higher than that of the Ye family caravan.
When Ye Li and Cao Tianxuan saw the opponent's strength, they were shocked. They definitely could not withstand it.
They did not dare to hesitate at all. As the Ye family's Linghai period talisman master escaped, Ye Li, Cao Tianxuan and others also began to fight and flee, rushing towards the mountainous area.
Ye Li had already summoned the Sun-Swallowing Avatar, but did not integrate its power. Instead, he let the Sun-Swallowing Avatar wander around and move freely.
After all, its flame has extremely strong defensive capabilities and can block many attacks for the Ye family.
After the masked men in black appeared, they didn't say anything and directly launched an attack on the Ye family.
Their movements were very coordinated, some attacked, some assisted, and some defended. They looked like an army and their fighting power was incredibly strong.
Even someone as powerful as Ye Li felt the pressure as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was sinking.
In such a situation, not to mention the other members of the Ye family, they were beaten like a pile of scattered sand under the extremely unified and clearly divided attack of the men in black.
Ye Li felt a tightness in his heart. He could tell that the men in black who attacked them were definitely not ordinary thieves. Ye Li had only experienced their kind of group combat strength in some sects.
"Grandpa Tianxuan, I will cover everyone, you lead everyone to retreat, you will never be able to stop these people!"
Knowing that he could not win, Ye Li shouted to Cao Tianxuan.
Upon hearing this, Cao Tianxuan immediately objected: "No, Ye Li, I will cover the rear with you, you can't stop them alone!"
Ye Li said: "No, Grandpa Tianxuan, I am fast, so it is most appropriate for me to be the rear guard. You should lead them away quickly. Once the opponent forces us to come up, we will all be unable to leave.
There is no time to argue now, let's work together and escape quickly."
Ye Li spoke in a firm tone, with an aura that brooked no room for rebuttal.
His brows were completely furrowed at this moment, and his expression was extremely serious.
Cao Tianxuan originally wanted to say something, but after feeling Ye Li's aura, he unconsciously submitted.
"Ye Li, then you better be careful. I'll take them and go ahead!"
Cao Tianxuan was also a decisive person. Once he had made the decision, he turned around and ran to the back without any hesitation, covering the others' quick evacuation.
Ye Li himself controlled the Sun-Swallowing Avatar to constantly move in the air, burning a large number of attacks into ashes.
In order to strengthen his defense capabilities, Ye Li summoned the Wings of the Vermillion Bird, and with the help of both arms, he released a Five Elements Ring Talisman.
For a moment, he increased his defensive capabilities to the maximum, and with the cooperation of the Sun-Swallowing Incarnation, he continuously blocked the attacks from behind, completely disregarding the loss of spiritual energy.
This explosive release, coupled with his continuous retreat and dodging, did allow him to barely withstand a wave of attacks, leaving Cao Tianxuan and the others time to escape.
While escaping, Cao Tianxuan had an idea and directed everyone to release the horses from the carriage as quickly as possible, and then everyone mounted their horses and ran towards the mountains.
With the help of horses, their escape speed reached an extreme level.
"Ye Li, hurry up and catch up. We left a horse for you. If you run on the horse, they won't be able to catch up with you!"
Cao Tianxuan shouted to Ye Li while running.
"Okay, hurry up, we'll split up and meet up again when we get back!"
When Ye Li saw Cao Tianxuan and others riding on horses, his eyes lit up.
What he was worried about was that the other side was too strong and they would not be able to retreat fast enough to escape the other side's attack range.
Now it seems that he only needs to hold out for one more round of attacks and let everyone run out of the opponent's attack range, then he can turn around and leave the battlefield.
However, when they saw the Ye family members running away, the men in black did not show much emotion, and their attacks were no longer directed towards the Ye family members, but instantly hit Ye Li.
The three talisman masters in the late gestation period collected their talismans and then threw out three new talismans.
The three talismans were a drum, a pair of bells, and a bell. The moment they appeared, Ye Li felt an unusual aura.
Before he could react, three talisman masters in the fetal stage suddenly threw out several gray runes, and the three talismans were immediately surrounded by gray mist.
With the sound of a drum, a gray ripple swept towards Ye Li.
When Ye Li saw it, he immediately understood that the other party was using the Soul-Traveling Talisman.
Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, Ye Li quickly mobilized his spiritual power and gathered the power of soul to protect his soul.
A circle of gray light appeared around Ye Li's head, looking like a defensive light shield.
