The very next moment, Wang Zhan wasted no more time. He clenched his fists and charged at the Blazing Fire Priest immediately. Nearby, Han Junxiong also sprang into action. After all, time was of the essence; they had to defeat these Priests as soon as possible to rescue the people trapped in the palace.

However, Jiang Yin remained motionless, his hands never leaving the ancient zither.

Jiang Yin had his own plans. Although two Priests had already revealed themselves, they were now hiding somewhere unknown. If they didn’t appear, it would be a good thing for him. After all, he could use this time to help Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong deal with the Blazing Fire Priest and Thunder Priest before them. Then, the three of them together would find it much easier to deal with the remaining two. However, he was fully aware that these four Priests were no pushovers. They surely had their own plans and wouldn’t possibly allow themselves to be picked off one by one.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong had already clashed with the two Priests.

Amidst a series of deafening explosions, Wang Zhan was completely overwhelming the Blazing Fire Priest before him. Although this Priest’s strength was terrifying, Wang Zhan, with all his trump cards and the System’s support, could still handle a mere Priest like this effortlessly.

However, what Wang Zhan hadn’t expected was that even though the Thunder Priest was already a spent force, Han Junxiong still couldn’t confront him directly. In less than ten rounds, Han Junxiong was defeated.

Had it not been for Jiang Yin’s timely intervention, Han Junxiong would already be a cold corpse.

Wang Zhan squinted at the figures before him, then said directly, "Stop hiding. Tell all your companions to come out. I’d like to see just how capable you sneaky Priests, who only know how to hide, really are."

The Blazing Fire Priest before him glared coldly at Wang Zhan. He raised his hand again, and with a flick of his finger, giant fireballs materialized in the sky, hurtling rapidly towards Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan promptly raised his Deep Fire Blade, and a Fire Dragon soared up from it to clash with the fireballs. Since both were masters of the fire element, there was no elemental suppression. The outcome could only be decided by their individual strength and the mastery of their techniques.

This, however, gave Wang Zhan a certain advantage. Although the Blazing Fire Priest had reached the realm of a Tribal Patriarch, his strength wasn’t that of a true Tribal Patriarch. Evidently, they must have used some method to unnaturally hasten their progress, resulting in such superficial cultivation. Wang Zhan, on the other hand, having used all his trump cards, had naturally also received a certain boost to his strength.

After a brief exchange, the other two Priests still hadn’t appeared. Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong quickly retreated to Jiang Yin’s side. Han Junxiong clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, his face ghastly pale. Leaning on his longsword to support himself, he said, enunciating each word, "I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect I’d drag you down."

Wang Zhan smiled and waved his hand, saying with concern, "It’s fine. The important thing is that you’re not seriously injured. These Priests are indeed powerful. Forget you, even we can’t easily challenge them. But what you’ve done already is good enough."

Jiang Yin, standing nearby, said nothing, still cautiously observing the surroundings with a wary expression.

Han Junxiong, head lowered and frowning, said, "In that case, I probably can’t offer any more help. But with these great Priests in our way, if we can’t eliminate them, escaping this barrier won’t be an easy task."

Wang Zhan nodded as well. He looked at Jiang Yin; clearly, they could only see what Jiang Yin planned to do now. After all, they weren’t very familiar with anything in the sea domain. Moreover, Wang Zhan was well aware that Jiang Yin before them was definitely not as simple as he appeared. And after being on the Star War Battlefield for so long, this was the first time he had seen someone use an ancient zither as a weapon, yet its power was unexpectedly terrifying.

Jiang Yin squinted his eyes and said slowly, "Our priority is for the three of us to first join forces and eliminate the weakest one, the Thunder Priest. That way..."

While talking, Jiang Yin moved closer to Wang Zhan and whispered a few things in his ear.

The next moment, Wang Zhan charged towards the Thunder Priest at an astonishingly fast speed.

The expression of the Blazing Fire Priest standing nearby changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted to the Thunder Priest, "Be careful! These bastards want to use you as the breakthrough point and eliminate you first!"

But even with the warning, it was already too late.

Wang Zhan reached the Thunder Priest, raised the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, and fiercely slashed down at the Thunder Priest’s body. With that single strike, the Thunder Priest’s body was directly cleaved in two; he clearly had no ability to resist.

This was an outcome no one had anticipated.

After all, the Thunder Priest was an expert who had half a foot into the realm of a Tribal Patriarch. Yet he couldn’t even block a single strike from Wang Zhan?

Of course, they had no idea that Wang Zhan had already consumed all the elixirs he possessed and then executed his most powerful strike, precisely to ensure he could kill the Thunder Priest before him in one blow. After all, this was their best remaining option.

Moreover, if they continued to delay, not only would the few of them be trapped and die here, but even Xiang Tian and the others might not be able to arrive safely.

Jiang Yin, who was nearby, was also slightly startled. After all, he had just been thinking of using his ancient zither to provide Wang Zhan with a series of support, but he had never imagined Wang Zhan’s strength would be so formidable, clearly exceeding his expectations.

Seeing the battlefield gradually falling under the control of Wang Zhan and the others, the Blazing Fire Priest roared angrily towards the sky above, "You two bastards, how long are you going to keep hiding?"

The moment his voice fell, a blinding beam of light appeared in the sky and then swiftly descended towards Wang Zhan.

Seeing this, Jiang Yin swiftly moved in front of Wang Zhan, raised the ancient zither in his hands, and swung it fiercely. An Azure Dragon illusion instantly materialized and blocked the beam of light.

The next second, the Azure Dragon illusion and the beam of light simultaneously vanished into smoke.

"This is the Light Priest."

Jiang Yin frowned and said, "Judging by this, only the Dark Priest remains. Then all four great Priests will have appeared before us."

However, the thought of the Dark Priest made Jiang Yin’s expression instantly turn much grimmer. He glanced at their surroundings; it was pitch-black all around, a state where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. This undoubtedly provided an excellent space for the Dark Priest to operate.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yin looked at Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong with a wary expression and quickly warned, "You two must pay close attention to your surroundings. Don’t give the Dark Priest any chance to strike. I’m sure that fellow won’t give up easily. They are likely hiding in the darkness, waiting to launch a fatal blow against us."

After glancing at each other, Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong both nodded.

Standing to one side, Jiang Yin squinted his eyes, once again raising the ancient zither in his hands. His gaze fell upon the Light Priest. "You despicable villain! I’m very curious to see just how powerful you, the leader of the four great Priests, truly are."

"I didn’t expect you to know my identity. That’s quite impressive."

After glancing at Jiang Yin, the Light Priest smiled and said, "The reason we had the Thunder Priest and the Blazing Fire Priest engage you first was simply because we saw you as too fragile and were too lazy to deal with you ourselves. After all, with strength like yours, how could you possibly be qualified to fight me?"

"But now it seems I underestimated you. I didn’t expect your strength to be so formidable. You must be one of the top figures in the sea domain, I presume. Yet, with just that, you think you can contend with us? Isn’t that somewhat laughable?"

The Light Priest slowly lifted his hand, and rays of light gathered in his palm. Then, in an instant, he once again swung his arm towards Jiang Yin.

Immediately, a massive silhouette of light appeared in the sky. It continuously converged, eventually forming into a longsword.

The Light Priest stood proudly in mid-air. He glanced coldly at Jiang Yin, completely ignoring Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong, and said, enunciating each word, "Ignorant junior, since you’re so eager to die, I’ll send you on your way now." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

However, there wasn’t the slightest trace of fear on Jiang Yin’s face. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Did you think I had already revealed all my trump cards?"

"Now, I’ll show you how formidable my trump card truly is!"

Jiang Yin shot straight up into the sky, raising the ancient zither in his hand. Instantly, numerous Sacred Beasts materialized in the sky, swiftly charging towards the longsword.

The massive Light Sword and the Sacred Beasts clashed in the sky, and a series of tremendous roaring sounds echoed all around. Wang Zhan quickly shielded Han Junxiong, pulling him back repeatedly while raising his Deep Fire Blade to block the successive shockwaves.

Meanwhile, Han Junxiong furrowed his brows and said, "I didn’t expect Jiang Yin’s strength to be so formidable."

The moment his words fell, Wang Zhan’s expression changed drastically. From the darkness, a massive hand suddenly shot out, grabbing fiercely towards him!

"Not good! Retreat quickly!"
