Chapter 2588
Qian Mo and Ji Hong's hearts trembled. They had clearly seen that the cultivators outnumbered the swordsmen by quite a bit. If they were to split into two groups, they would be evenly matched and the cultivators would suffer losses. If both groups were to attack the swordsmen, not only would the cultivators suffer fewer casualties, they would also be able to defeat the swordsmen earlier!
Therefore, they absolutely could not allow the already destroyed city wall to be rebuilt once again!
Furthermore, it was very obvious that on top of the earthen wall, the earthen yellow brilliance was extremely dazzling. Compared to the previous ice wall, this earthen wall was even sturdier. With this earthen wall, the sword cultivators would be able to resist stubbornly and turn the situation around!
"Disciples, split into two groups. 95% to face the enemy, 15% to destroy the city ~" Qian Mo shouted without hesitation.
"Yes ~" The group of Imperial Thunder Sect disciples replied in unison, driving away the shock that had just arisen. Immediately, around 15% of the disciples activated their magic treasures. Flashing lightning once again appeared in mid-air. Thick lightning bolts flashed with brilliance and crazily struck the earthen wall that was still growing!
"Rumble ~" As usual, the earth quaked and the mountains shook. Various colors of brilliance flashed in response. Strands of lightning were like spider webs that firmly entangled the earthen wall. As the earthen wall swayed, its rising momentum was immediately blocked. Even the dirt and gravel at the topmost layer could not be condensed by the earthen yellow brilliance and many of them scattered down. At this moment, Lv Ruochang who was controlling the sword formation was also flashing with sword light. She could no longer maintain the sword formation. A series of light ripples appeared at the tip of the flying sword and rapidly spread to the sword body …
"Quick ~ attack!"
Seeing this, Ji Hong hurriedly ordered her disciples. The Cheng Ye Sect disciples once again took out their magic treasures. The faint white light merged together and struck the earthen wall at almost the same time as the Kunlun Sect's huge fireball and other spells.
This time, the attack was even stronger than the Imperial Thunder Sect's. Not only did it completely block the rising momentum of the earthen wall, it even sent the top few feet of the earthen wall flying!
In the midst of the earthen yellow brilliance, dirt and dust flew in all directions, almost covering the sky!
Behind the dirt and dust, Lv Ruochang's face carried a faint brilliance. That brilliance could not conceal the killing intent in her eyes and her face was deathly pale!
After all, a third-grade Illusory Sword Swordsman was still incomparable to tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators!
"Good ~ ~" All of the Dao Sect disciples cheered and clamored …
For a Dao Sect cultivator to be able to force a third-grade Illusory Sword Swordsman into such a state, it was something to be proud of. However, when Qian Mo saw the cloud of dust and the murderous aura on Lv Ruochang's face, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. He hurriedly shouted, "Imperial Thunder Sect disciple, receive the attack of the sword cultivator …"
Not only were the disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect alerted, but the disciples of the Kunlun Sect and the Bright Leaf Sect were also on the move. They were about to activate their respective transcendent artifacts …
However, at this moment, the sword cultivators who had been hiding suddenly rushed out from behind the dust. The dozens of flying swords condensed again, much more ferocious than before. The sharp sword splendor pierced from afar …
Swoosh swoosh swoosh … Innumerable magik treasures flew out, swaying with splendor. However, apart from about thirty percent of the magik treasures that had a uniform pace, the other magik treasures were extremely scattered. They were as hasty as when they had first met the flying sword!
With a buzzing sound, the flying swords were extremely sharp and pierced deep into the defenses of the magic treasures, taking away the lives of hundreds and thousands of cultivators!
The bloody corpses fell from the sky, dyeing the snowy region in front of Clear Cave black and red!
"Steady your footing!"
Qian Mo and the rest sighed in their hearts. Their battle experience was still not as good as the sword cultivators'. At the same time, they hurriedly gave out orders, "Follow the orders from before and attack the sword cultivators!"
Hearing the orders of the three Golden Core cultivators, the group of cultivators hurriedly flew out, filling up the gaps left behind by the fallen cultivators. Once again, they activated their transcendence energy, took out their transcendent artifacts, and launched their attacks towards the half-completed city of earth.
Although there were many gaps to attack during this period of time, the sword cultivators' flying swords were rapidly retreating. They were unable to stop the effective attacks!
"Rumble ~" The sounds of explosions were incessant. Splendor also lingered in the air. A vigorous and exceptionally bloody battle had begun once again …
Very quickly, two hours had passed. On the Dao Sect's side, close to thirty thousand disciples had fallen. The ground had long been covered with corpses. Severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and blood splattered all over the ground. A bloody stench rushed straight into the air!
As for the tens of thousands of cultivators who were lucky enough to survive, their transcendence energy was almost depleted. Many of them had already consumed elixirs that did not form their Vital Essence several times!
The Dao Sect cultivators, who had the advantage in numbers, were already in such a tragic state. Needless to say, the sword cultivators who were still stubbornly resisting were even worse!
On top of the earthen wall, a large number of corpses of sword cultivators were now lying on top of it. The ground outside the earthen wall was also littered with wreckage. The flying swords that were usually the hottest item in the auction in Sky Patrol City were now discarded everywhere. No one's gaze lingered on them for even a moment. It was as if these flying swords were just scrap metal!
On top of the earthen wall, many sword cultivators had lost their lives. Now, they could no longer form the same swift and fierce flying sword formation as before. The remaining tens of thousands of disciples could only rely on the defense of the earthen wall to barely hold on. Occasionally, there would be about ten flying swords that would rush out. However, under the overwhelming attack of the Dao Sect cultivators' transcendent artifacts, they were defeated extremely quickly. They were far from causing any particularly heavy casualties to the cultivators!
On the contrary, every attack from the cultivators could shake the earthen city and even kill many swordsmen!
A solemn and stirring expression gradually appeared on the faces of the swordsmen. They knew that if there were no special accidents, this big city built by Mo Qingdong should be their final resting place!
Their individual strength was certainly superior to the cultivators, but in terms of numbers, the difference was too great!
"Where are the disciples who were originally stationed here?"
Many quick-witted swordsmen had already secretly pondered. "If they were here, these Dao Sect cultivators would definitely not be a threat!"
However, swordsmen were swordsmen. There was a kind of ruthlessness in their bones. Even without Lv Ruochang's other orders, they still activated their Sword Origin and tried their best to summon their flying swords. They wanted to kill as many cultivators as possible before they died!
Looking at the group of Dao Sect cultivators, there was an obvious relief on their faces. While they were blocking the attacks of the swordsmen, they were also diverting the greatest amount of energy to attack the earthen wall. They knew that as long as this earthen wall was destroyed, this battle would be over …
Their expressions were different from the cultivators'. Qian Mo, Yuan Zhongyu, and Ji Hong's expressions were much more serious. They understood in their hearts that if a group of swordsmen could not block a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then the final killing move of the swordsmen would be Lv Ruochang!
This third-grade Illusory Sword female swordsman was not easy to deal with. Not to mention that when she first came into contact with them, she made use of their negligence to stall for time and silently turned the advantage of the cultivators into nothingness. Just now, she instantly used a secret technique to transform into a sword and used it to activate the earthen city walls to defend against the attacks of tens of thousands of cultivators. From this, it could be seen that Lv Ruochang's strength was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could three cultivators who were only at the mid-Jindan stage withstand her?
"Perhaps … we really need a Senior Martial Brother who is at the late-Jindan stage!"
Qian Mo and the other two thought about how Lv Ruochang tried to sow discord between them. Those words of hers were not without reason!
"Nameless … That Senior Martial Brother Nameless, where is he now?"
Qian Mo thought further than Yuan Zhongyu and Ji Hong. At this moment, he actually thought of Nameless who he had only heard a few times in the meeting hall!
"Senior Martial Brother Nameless … Was he sent by the Sect Leader?
Is it because the cultivators in the meeting hall are all at the mid-Jindan stage, so he is not at ease? "
"That's right, why didn't the Sect Leader send a Senior Martial Brother who is at the late-Jindan stage?
Isn't Senior Martial Brother Gantian much stronger than me?
Even in terms of strategizing, he is much better than me?
Why didn't he choose Senior Martial Brother Gantian, but me? "
"That's right, it seems like Senior Martial Brother Gantian had other fortuitous encounters and had long been in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. During the disciple selection, he did not appear at all, right?
That's right, what fortuitous encounter did Senior Martial Brother Gantian have?
To be able to step into the Nascent Soul realm … That is a huge fortuitous encounter … I don't know what kind of rewards the sect will give me when I return to Sky Thunder Peak after this great battle. When will I be able to reach Senior Martial Brother Gantian's cultivation level … "
"I … I … Now is the time for a great battle, how can I let my imagination run wild?"
Qian Mo's thoughts suddenly became chaotic, but luckily, a loud rumbling sound pulled him out of the chaos. Seeing everything in front of him, his heart became more and more frightened!
"Kill ~ ~ ~" An even louder roar than before shook the heavens. It was because all the noisy Dao Sect cultivators were stirred up by the soaring killing intent. Without needing the orders of the Golden Core cultivators, they all rushed towards the panicked swordsmen.
The earth city that was already on the verge of collapse was finally defeated by the combined forces of the Imperial Thunder Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Clear Leaf Sect disciples. When the earth yellow brilliance dissipated, dust flew up again. Behind the earth wall, all the sword cultivator disciples could be seen clearly!
However, the panicked sword cultivator disciples were only stunned for a moment before they all flew up. They did not have time to form any flying sword formation. All kinds of sword lights flashed, and all kinds of sword intents danced, welcoming the cultivators who were rushing over with bloodshot eyes!
As the weapons clashed, it became more and more bloody …
"Ga ~" An emerald green phoenix let out a high-pitched cry from behind the earth wall. It flapped its wings, and countless emerald green sword lights floated, looking incomparably sharp. Lv Ruochang's cold voice sounded, "I have long heard of the name of the terrifying phoenix, and know that his phoenix body is incomparably terrifying. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find that terrifying phoenix, and my long-cherished wish of killing him under my sword cannot be fulfilled.
Then … Today, I will let you all know the power of my Black Phoenix Sword Sect's Phoenix Sword Intent! "
Before his words fell, the sword lights attacked. The tens of thousands of tiny flying swords that formed into phoenixes each contained an enormous amount of power, and each contained Lv Ruochang's extremely cold will. As each of them rapidly pierced towards the three cultivators, they were constantly absorbing the chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth near Clear Cave!
That kind of destructive aura, that kind of feeling of a sword piercing through the heart, enveloped Qian Mo, Yuan Zhongyu, and Ji Hong!
Although the three of them were very far away, with a distance of several hundred feet between them, there was no difference between this crazy sword intent and they all attacked together!
