The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 520
Chapter 520 Battle Of Stronghold (2)
The gigantic warship descended towards the stronghold. On the bow of the warship stood three great figures with extraordinary momentum. Each of them was a Void Realm expert!
Three Void Realms!
Behind them stood a large group of people. They were all high-level Xiantian martial artists. Judging from their numbers, there were probably more than a hundred of them.
The moment the warship landed, the three people leading the way waved their hands, and the people behind them jumped off the deck and entered the Heavenly Stronghold, launching a massacre.
With the addition of this powerful force, the situation was quickly controlled and the defenders of the stronghold were defeated.
“General Sun Tiance of the State of Zhao, Grand Sima Nangong Ze of the State of Wei, who else is that white-robed man?” Lin Tianhao’s expression changed.
The white-robed man wore a veil with white lotus flowers embroidered on it, giving off a faint wisp of holy radiance.
The veil seemed to have the effect of isolating one’s divine sense, causing one to be unable to see clearly. However, it could be seen from her figure that she should be a woman!
When Li Qing saw the lotus flower on it, his pupils shrank and he whispered, “This should be someone from the White Lotus Sect.”
“The people from the White Lotus Sect are also participating? This time, the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold is truly dangerous. What are they going to use to contend against these three Void Realm experts?”
The main force of the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold was restrained by the three Demon Saints. Now that three more human Void Realm cultivators had come out from behind, the defending army’s avatars were useless. It could be said that they were at the end of their rope.
“Why have the three Demon Saints been attacking the stronghold and refusing to leave?”
‘”He must have used some special method. For example, he secretly stole the cubs of the three Demon Saints and placed them in the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold. Naturally, the Demon Saints desperately attacked the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold.” Lin Tianhao guessed.
“What a good method. Without these three Demon Saints, they might not be able to attack the Heavenly Stronghold by relying on the enemy’s troops.”
The battle at the city gate had already reached a white-hot stage. One martial artist after another had died, and the battle situation was extremely tragic. The three human Void Realms on the warship also attacked one after another, destroying the war weapons and fortresses inside the stronghold.
Void realm experts would not easily attack ordinary people to avoid getting too much fruit trapping karma. However, destroying the Star Breaking Tower and other weapons of war would be even more fatal to the defenders.
After losing these weapons of war, the defending troops were immediately in a state of chaos, unable to resist the enemy’s attack. After an arduous battle, the gate to the Southern Domain of the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold had finally fallen.
The enemy troops all rushed into the stronghold, screaming crazily one by one. Their eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light as they began their final slaughter.
When the war reached this point, it could basically be said that the situation was set. However, the White Tiger Legion, the main force of the stronghold, still hadn’t suffered any losses. The Undying Battle Flag was still standing. As long as they couldn’t defeat them, it couldn’t be considered a final victory.
Of course, there were three great demon saints in the front and countless enemies eyeing them. The White Tiger Legion had no way to escape, and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.
Li Qing watched this scene quietly and did not intend to help. Although the spiritual will of the Undying Battle Flag was extremely admirable, this matter had nothing to do with him, so he naturally wouldn’t meddle in other people’s affairs.
In the following period of time, the White Tiger army was attacked from two sides. On the one hand, it was the three Demon Saint creatures; on the other hand, it was the three Void Realm humans plus a large group of Xiantian experts.
This was a war without suspense.
This battle lasted for half a day before the Immortal Battle Flag was completely broken. This was because the White Tiger Army had exhausted its true essence. Otherwise, it would have been able to remain standing.
Since the Imperishable Battle Flag had been broken, the rest of the matter would be easy to resolve. The soldiers of the White Tiger Army were killed and surrendered. The war finally came to an end.
“Now that the battle in the stronghold has been decided, should we leave early?” Lin Tianhao said worriedly.
“There’s no hurry, just wait and see. You don’t have to worry. I’ll completely take you out. There won’t be any danger to your life.” Li Qing said.
He had originally planned to leave as soon as possible, but when he saw White Lotus Sect experts appear here, he changed his mind.
Didn’t he come to the Central Region with the first step of finding an opportunity to come into contact with the White Lotus Sect?
According to the original plan, even with Patriarch Wuyou’s recommendation, they might not be able to meet the core members of the White Lotus Sect, let alone the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect.
But now, a high-ranking figure of the White Lotus Sect appeared in front of him. This opportunity was extremely rare. Of course, he would not miss it.
As a Void Realm expert, this White Lotus Sect’s mysterious figure definitely had a high status. Even if they weren’t the eight Great Saint Messengers, they wouldn’t be far behind.
If he was lucky, he might be able to take this opportunity to break into the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop.
After the Imperishable Battle Flag was defeated, none of the Demon Saints were able to contain it and launched an attack on the interior of the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold.
The Wei and Zhao armies did not seem to want to pay attention to this troublesome matter, allowing the three Demon Saints to vent their anger.
One of the Demon Saints actually flew towards the area where Li Qing was.
“Not good, Demon Saint is flying over. There’s danger here!” Lin Tianhao’s expression changed.
“No problem!” Li Qing stretched out a palm and pushed it horizontally towards the Demon Saint in the sky. It turned into a gigantic hand seal that covered the sky and the sun. He slapped it on the body.
Rumble!
This Demon Saint was sent flying by Li Qing. He circled in the air for a few times before he stabilized. His face seemed to be a little dumbfounded.
“Fuck off!” Li Qing shouted softly.
Lin Tianhao was dumbfounded as he watched from the side, muttering to himself, “So strong!”
“There may be a fierce battle next. I’ll put you away first.” Li Qing took out Yin-yang Chaos Bottle and put Lin Tianhao inside.
In the distance, the three human Void Realm experts sensed the movement and a strange expression flashed in their eyes. “There seems to be a Void Realm expert over there!”
“Will they be enemies?”
“Probably not. Perhaps he just happened to pass through the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold. He didn’t even make a move when the White Tiger Legion was annihilated just now. He should be thinking of not meddling in other people’s affairs.”
Of course, the Demon Saint who was sent flying couldn’t be easily frightened back by Li Qing. He raised his head and roared angrily, launching another attack. That enormous body was like a black mountain. Every movement was extremely powerful. Just the air currents it brought could sweep through a large area of houses.
Li Qing activated the Heavenly Yuan Technique and instantly increased his combat strength by four times. He continuously struck out the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heavenly Palm and bombarded the Demon Saint’s body, sending him flying.
Because he hadn’t used many of his trump cards, he could only suppress this Demon Saint, but couldn’t defeat him.
After fighting for half a day, the aftermath of the battle razed all the buildings within a radius of several kilometers to the ground, and the ground was torn apart by huge cracks. This Demon Saint’s body was riddled with wounds. Only then did he realize that this human in front of him was not to be trifled with. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he could only flee in panic.
“This fellow Daoist’s strength isn’t bad. He can actually defeat a Demon Saint!” The three human Void Realm experts stepped into the air.
“Greetings, seniors.” Li Qing nodded slightly.
“Eh, Xiantian 9th layer, you are not a Void Realm expert!” The three of them were shocked at the same time.
“That’s right, I am a dual cultivator of the Dharma and Body, so I am able to unleash my battle prowess beyond my limits and barely contend against the Demon Saint.” Li Qing nodded.
Seeing that Li Qing was not a Void Realm expert, the three of them couldn’t help but look down on him. They asked, “You should not be an unknown person with such powerful combat strength. Where did you come from?”
“I came from the Eastern Region and happened to pass through the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold. Unexpectedly, there was a war.”
“Since you have nothing to do with this matter, then we will not pursue your origins. However, I advise you to leave sooner or later, so as not to get involved in the war. That would not be good.” Wei fu said with a dignified expression.
“I will pay attention. By the way, may I ask if this white-robed man is the messenger of the White Lotus Sect?” Li Qing suddenly looked at the masked woman.
“What do you mean by asking?” The masked woman’s tone was indifferent, and she had an extraordinary temperament.
“I want to join the White Lotus Sect. Do you believe me?”
“Are you joking? You want to join the White Lotus Sect for no reason? Are you a spy from some factions?”
“Whether I really want to join the White Lotus Sect or not, I won’t discuss that for now, but please tell me, are you from the White Lotus Sect or not?” Li Qing asked.
“That’s right! I am the Fifth Divine Envoy of the White Lotus Sect!” The masked woman did not get angry and maintained a calm tone.
“I want to see Patriarch Lanxin of the White Lotus Sect. Please introduce him.”
The masked woman narrowed her eyes. The expression on her face seemed to have finally changed, but because of the veil covering her face, she was unable to see it clearly.
“Why do you want to see Patriarch Lanxin? Could it be that you two know each other?”
“That’s not true. I have never met Patriarch Lanxin before. It’s just that I met a senior in the East China Sea earlier. She and Patriarch Lanxin are fellow apprentice sisters, and she recommended me to look for Patriarch Lanxin.” Li Qing replied.
The masked woman was silent for a moment and asked, “What is the name of the senior you met?”
“Patriarch Wuyou!”
“Do you have any tokens to prove it?”
Li Qing took out a paper white lotus flower and said, “I wonder if this can be proved?”
The masked woman waved her hand and took in the white lotus flower. After examining it for a while, she nodded and said, “Follow me.”
Naturally, there was no need for Void Realm experts like them to come forward to clean up the battlefield. Someone had already vacated a clean courtyard for a few Void Realm Patriarch to stay in. This White Lotus Sect’s Fifth Saint Emissary brought Li Qing to a quiet place. He retreated left and right, leaving only the two of them behind.
“The Patriarch Lanxin you’re looking for is me. I’m currently the Fifth Sacred Envoy of the White Lotus Sect!” The masked woman said straightforwardly.
