The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 187
Chapter 187 Strong Lineup
“True essence condensation! Indeed, it is at the fourth level of the Xiantian realm!” When the three Xiantian experts saw this True Essence Sword, their expressions changed drastically.
The true essence sword in front of him was not an invisible and qualitative sword energy, but a real weapon, condensed like a solid, incomparably hard weapon.
This was the ability that only Xiantian Fourth Layer cultivators could possess, True Essence Consolidation!
Boom!
The giant sword was vast and unstoppable, slashing towards the three Xiantian experts.
The three of them were shocked and felt tremendous pressure. Faced with such a terrifying attack, they could only fight back with all their might. They didn’t have any luck.
They roared and attacked the giant sword together, trying to shatter it.
However, this sword was really like a real weapon. True essence was frozen within it and it was indestructible. The attacks of the three landed on the ground, producing the sound of “Dang, Dang, Dang”. It seemed as if they had struck the hard metal, unable to shake it at all.
The three of them continuously attacked, only causing the sword to tremble slightly, easing the attack, but it was completely unharmed.
Although the speed of the True Essence Giant Sword slowed down a lot after experiencing the opponent’s resistance, it still resolutely swept towards the three of them, as if the autumn wind had swept away the fallen leaves, sending them flying.
“Ah–”
As if struck by lightning, the three of them were heavily injured. They all coughed out a mouthful of blood, and they didn’t know how far they were sent flying.
Fortunately, they were Xiantian experts. With their True Essence protecting their bodies, their vitality was formidable, allowing them to survive. If an ordinary martial artist was struck by such a huge sword, they would probably have been shredded into a ball of meat paste long ago.
“The enemy is too strong. Retreat!”
In the darkness, their exasperated voices rang out. Their voices grew farther and farther away, and it was obvious that they had already escaped.
In just one exchange, they lost their confidence and fled. This showed the deterrent power of Xiantian 4th layer experts.
The outside of the city was pitch-black, and he couldn’t see it clearly. City Lord Su was afraid that there would be a scam, so he didn’t chase after them and allowed the three of them to leave.
Seeing that the three Xiantian experts had already escaped, how could the remaining martial artists continue to stay? Morale immediately collapsed and all of them scattered.
“Retreat!!!”
They scrambled to flee and quickly retreated away from Jiangyuan City, disappearing like a tide.
Countless arrows shot down, covering the fleeing enemy and harvesting another wave of martial artists’ lives.
Above the city walls, the guards watched as the countless enemies retreated quickly. They did not plan to leave the city to chase after them in case they were ambushed. They only used their bows and arrows to slightly increase their battle results.
“Win!!!”
Everyone in Jiangyuan City cheered and let out a heaven-shaking sound.
The short siege just now was indeed extremely dangerous. Many people had died, and they had almost been captured by the city walls. However, they still managed to defeat the enemy in the end.
They wept with joy and smiled for the rest of their lives.
After resisting the first wave of attacks, Jiang Yuan City’s morale was greatly improved. Let them understand that the formerly seemingly powerful enemies were not invincible.
Of course, they also knew in their hearts that the sneak attack tonight was only a vanguard. Although they had repelled the enemy, the offensive would be even more intense.
Never relax!
In addition, just now, City Lord Su had only attacked once, but this time, his attack was so stunning that he severely injured the three enemies’ Xiantian in a single move. This showed how powerful his strength was.
Seeing is believing, but hearing is false. City Lord Su’s cultivation had truly reached the fourth level of the Xiantian Realm, just like the rumors had it! It’s not false.
City Lord Su’s formidable strength instantly gave everyone incomparable confidence, allowing them to gradually settle down, as if they had a solid backing.
With such an expert in charge, what else did they need to fear?
…
The terrible night finally passed slowly. The sky quickly brightened, and a fish belly appeared in the east.
After a night of vigilance, the martial practitioners of Jiangyuan City finally relaxed after seeing the light they had not seen for a long time.
The city gate opened, and a group of people walked out and began to clean up this fierce battlefield. Corpses were everywhere on the edge of the city wall. Blood flowed all over the ground, and the smell of blood permeated the entire wall.
After a morning of cleaning, there were quite a few spoils of war.
The armor and weapons worn by the enemy were all high-quality equipment. They were very good, even better than those worn by Jiang Yuan City. They could also equip their own martial artists and increase their strength.
According to the statistics, more than 400 enemy warriors had been killed in the battle last night, while nearly 200 had died on his side.
There were only 800 elite martial artists in Jiangyuan City, and nearly 200 of them had died in one go. Immediately, the mood of joy in the crowd became solemn.
The situation isn’t good. If the enemy starts a war of attrition, I’m afraid that Jiang Yuan City won’t be able to hold on no matter what.
The sun gradually rose and soon it was noon.
The allied forces of Yu Tian Cheng and the other major powers did not seem to intend to give Jiang Yuan Cheng time to catch his breath. The enemy’s traces gradually appeared on the ground in the distance.
Their army finally arrived.
Jiang Yuan City hurriedly closed the city gates, and the entire city was on alert. All the experts of the Su Clan rushed out, all of them coming to the top of the city and watching from afar.
Rumble!
It sounded like the voice of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it was extremely grand and astonishing. On the distant horizon, the martial practitioners of the various major powers began to gather, slowly gathering together.
City Lord Su stood on top of the city wall, his expression grave as he looked into the distance, his eyes shining with a cold light.
One of the Su Clan’s higher-ups said, “Judging from the number of people here, I estimate that there should be at least 5,000 people, right?”
‘”I guess so. The information I got earlier was that there were 3,000 elite martial artists. I didn’t expect that the number of them would explode. They must be hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right time to reveal themselves and launch a lightning strike.” Another person said.
“If they fully display their strength, we might choose to flee under fear. Therefore, they hid a portion of their men, giving us a chance to block their attacks and annihilate all of us.”
“This is truly too sinister. With such deliberate schemes, you have to kill us!”
“This is troublesome …”
City Lord Su said, “When the battle comes, Xiantian experts and Protector Li Qing will deal with each other. You need to defend the city and not be broken within an hour. Can you do it?”
Everyone’s hearts trembled. Then, they nodded and said, “Alright! With the protection of the city, even if their numbers are multiplied by several times, it won’t be easy to attack. It won’t be a problem to defend for an hour.”
City Lord Su said, “With this two hours, the battle between our Xiantian experts, be it victory or defeat, should have already ended. All you have to do is to let us have no worries about the future.”
“Don’t worry, City Lord. We will do our best to defend the city!” Everyone shouted in unison.
Someone worriedly said, “But Protector Li Qing has been in seclusion for a long time and hasn’t come out yet … I wonder if he can catch up with this great battle?”
City Lord Su said expressionlessly, “Don’t worry, Protector Li Qing will be discreet. He will never disappoint others. Let’s wait quietly and we will know when the time comes.”
The biggest trump card in resisting the attacks of the various allied forces this time was Li Qing. If he did not appear, Jiang Yuan City would undoubtedly be defeated.
In fact, City Lord Su didn’t know what was going on with Li Qing, but he had to maintain confidence on his face. He couldn’t let others see this, so as to avoid losing confidence.
Rumble!
The city wall beneath his feet trembled, and the earth trembled.
The coalition forces of the major powers had gathered in the distance. After resting for a while, they began to launch a general attack on Jiangyuan City.
More than 5,000 powerful elite martial artists moved in unison and slowly approached Jiang Yuan City. It was as if a black torrent was pressing down on them, crushing everything in front of them.
On the city walls of Jiangyuan City, everyone felt such a terrifying aura. All of their faces immediately turned pale, and their hearts were filled with fear. The difference in strength was too great.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
As the enemy walked forward, they shouted in unison. Their voices shook the heavens and the earth, and killing intent filled the entire battlefield. They carried out psychological pressure on the people of Jiangyuan City, wanting to make them surrender without a fight.
“Stop!”
A loud shout rang out as the black torrent stopped a hundred meters away from the city wall.
The army split apart and a group of Xiantian experts with powerful auras walked out.
There were actually a total of thirteen of them!
City Lord Su carefully identified it, and his expression immediately became somewhat ugly.
“Yu Tian City, Wan Qing City, Le Shan City, Bai Fu City, and those mountain bandits from the Ancient Bamboo Gang! Together, the five great forces really look up to me, Su San.” City Lord Su said hatefully.
“Why would Bai Fucheng and the Ancient Bamboo Gang get mixed up with them? It shouldn’t be!” Someone asked with a pale face.
