The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 961
Chapter 961 Wind and Cloud Rising Again (3)
After a moment of silence, Chaos City had no choice but to admit in my heart that staying in Chaos City was an act of waiting for death. I could only sigh helplessly, “I also know that giving up Chaos City and meeting up with the Heavenly Alliance is the most correct choice. But if I give up like this, I really can’t make up my mind! How can I explain this to the ancestors?”
“We are only giving up temporarily now. Strategic retreat does not mean we will lose forever. In the future, we, Righteous path, will be able to counter-attack. Sooner or later, we will be able to retrieve Chaos City!” Said Elder Sword.
“Alright, since that’s the case, then I’ll listen to you. Concentrate all of your strength in the Holy City and fight to the death with the Myriad Devil Sect!” The City Lord nodded.
Elder Sword looked at the other factions and said, “What about you?” What are your plans? Although your sects are not sacred lands, the Eastern Region is also an important sect. All of them are guarded by Dao Realm experts. “However, we are already very close to the Diabolism faction and will soon be included in the attack range of Diabolism. Do you also want to consider temporarily abandoning your sect and joining us in the Holy City?”
The sect leaders exchanged a glance and nodded, “Even the City Lord of Chaos agreed to this matter. Of course, we won’t object. Let’s join forces in the Holy City as well!”
The Heavenly Alliance’s strategy was to evacuate all forces in advance and gather them in the Holy City, intending to fight Diabolism to the death in this place.
The army of Diabolism pushed forward horizontally without encountering any obstructions. The gates of all forces were empty, and even Chaos City was so empty that they could easily occupy it.
In this way, nearly half of the territory in the Eastern Region fell into Diabolism’s hands.
It was not until near the Holy City that the army of the Myriad Devil Sect finally encountered an obstacle. A large number of martial artists gathered here and collided fiercely with the four legions of Diabolism.
Although none of these wars were fought by Dao Realm experts, and all of them were battles below the Void Realm, they were still fought until the sky was dark and corpses were everywhere.
The four great armies of Diabolism were well-trained, well-coordinated, and highly effective. However, the army of the Heavenly Alliance won by a large number. That was the vast ocean of the people. They blocked the way for a whole month, preventing Diabolism from moving forward inch by inch.
“They want to use sea-of-men tactics to kill us! When all the troops under them die, only the commanders of the bare poles like us will be left, and it will be impossible for them to invade the world.” The Second Hall Master said.
“In the end, the Righteous path has a deep foundation and a good foundation. It’s not like us, the nouveau riche.” Li Qing smiled.
“It’s all thanks to the methods of the Sect Master that we can turn the decay into magic. Otherwise, I’m afraid that Diabolism will never rise to prominence!” Sect Master Guisha flattered.
“What should we do next? It’s time for us to take action. If we continue to drag it out like this, it will be detrimental to Diabolism!” Someone said.
Normally speaking, Dao Realm experts rarely attacked ordinary people. On the one hand, it was because of their status and customary habits, and on the other hand, they were afraid of killing too many people and getting involved in karma.
The more massacres, the more karma there would be, and the more powerful the next Heavenly Tribulation would be. Therefore, most people were afraid of this, so they rarely slaughtered ordinary people, except for evil existences like the Great Evil King.
However, just because they rarely made a move did not mean that they would not make a move. Under special circumstances, they could no longer care about that much. They would first win.
Li Qing nodded and said, “Everyone, what you said is reasonable. No matter how long you drag it out, there is no benefit. The advantage of the Righteous path is too great. It is very difficult for us to win this battle in the sea of people. Only Dao Realm experts can take action!”
After the Dao Realm experts from Diabolism attacked, the situation became much simpler. After killing the enemy’s main force, the rest of them were defeated like mountains.
Unfortunately, Righteous path didn’t dare to come out to fight. He could only watch as Diabolism slaughtered ordinary people. All of them were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. “Too hateful! Are they really unscrupulous?”
“There’s nothing we can do. We can’t even stop them with the sea of people tactics. We can only defend the Holy City and gather everyone’s strength to defend against the enemy with the help of the formation!”
“There are Xuantian Formation Breaking Drums and Eternal Heavenly Sabers on the other side that can break the formation. What should we do?
“The Xuantian Formation Breaking Drum mainly relies on sound waves to shatter the core of the formation. This is easy to deal with. We can also prepare a few drum-type weapons to attack. As for the Eternal Heavenly Saber, there is nothing we can do about it. It depends on Li Qingqiang’s tyrannical personal strength!”
Very quickly, Diabolism’s army advanced to the Holy City and surrounded this ancient city that had a long history.
A month later, all the war fortifications had been completed. Around the Holy City, war fortresses were erected, and countless terrifying war weapons were built inside.
One war weapon after another formed a horrifying array of war weapons.
Of course, these weapons were left behind by Ancient Desolate Lord. In addition, after Ancient Desolate Lord revived, he personally guided the forging methods of these weapons, allowing the Myriad Demon Sect to forge millions of war weapons on an unprecedented scale. In terms of number of weapons and attack power, it even surpassed the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Central Region.
Now, these weapons of war had gathered around the Holy City, and an unprecedented siege had begun.
The Ancient Desolate Cannons, the Ancient Desolate Warships, the Black Light Tower, the Skysplitting Terrace, and so on all launched a heaven-destroying and earth-shattering attack, landing on the Holy City. Immediately, the array formation shook and explosions sounded everywhere.
Endless rays of light and flames erupted, dyeing half the sky red. The earth trembled and was affected by the aftershocks, sweeping across the mountains, leaving behind a trail of wolves on the ground.
After a month of indiscriminate bombardment, because the launching of war weapons required a huge amount of energy, the spirit stones were almost used up, so they stopped.
The appearance of the Holy City was rather miserable at this moment. City walls collapsed one after another, and numerous formations were shattered. It was precisely because they had sent people to rush to repair it with all their might.
Many people were directly killed by the powerful Yu Wei and their bodies were shattered. Even if they were inside the Holy City, they would not be safe.
From afar, the Holy City looked like an old man with an incomplete candle, as if it could collapse at any moment.
“Impossible! Where did Diabolism get so many weapons of war? Furthermore, it seems that they were all inherited from Ancient Desolate Lord in ancient times! What’s going on?” The people inside still had some lingering fears.
“I’m sure it’s Ancient Desolate Lord’s inheritance. His most famous weapons of war are all inside. I won’t mistakenly admit it.” City Lord Primordial Chaos sighed.
Primordial Chaos City had originally obtained a portion of the Ancient Desolate Inheritance, and had even established the Ancient Desolate Battle Martial Arena. It could be considered famous in the Eastern Region.
“It’s been too long since the Eastern Region has experienced such a great war, so we don’t have any means to retaliate. We can only withstand the bombardment of these countless weapons of war!”
“Fortunately, they don’t have many spirit stones. After exploding for a month, they should have almost run out of spirit stones. Next, they will have to use their true spears and real knives!”
What they expected was correct. After the war weapons were over, they would send people to attack.
The following period of time was another fierce hand-to-hand battle. The Holy City became a meat grinder, and countless powerful warriors died in this war every day.
The Myriad Devil Sect continued to deploy people from the half of the Eastern Region occupied by the rear. In addition, there were four stars as supplements. Every day, a steady stream of martial artists were sent over to join the battlefield.
Apart from ordinary martial artists, there were also Void Realm experts and Dao Realm experts who fought every day, and powerful figures died every day.
The Void Realm experts and even Dao Realm experts that stood high above them had fallen to this place, and the battle was extremely tragic.
Although Righteous path was at a disadvantage, with the support of the Holy City, it could fight against the Myriad Devil Sect inextricably. It had always been difficult to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, and it was stalemate here.
The siege of the city was originally a difficult matter. The attackers had to invest more energy in order to break through the city.
The Sacred City had gathered the experts of the entire Eastern Region. There were many people and great strength. Everyone guarded the city together, and each of them contributed a bit of strength. All of them would be able to turn into a vast ocean.
However, the more they fought behind, the greater the consumption. They could not rest. Everyone’s spirits were extremely tired, and the defense of the Holy City gradually slipped.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Qing said, “We can take action now!”
All Dao Realm experts entered the Ascension Heavenly Palace. Li Qing opened his mouth and sucked in the Ascension Heavenly Palace into his dantian world. Immediately after, his strength soared to an unbelievable level.
The gigantic shadow stood on the ground like the ruler of a galaxy, able to sweep through the heavens with every move.
“Not good, Li Qing is finally going to take action! Furthermore, he has merged the power of the Ascension Heavenly Palace and all the Dao Realm experts of the Myriad Devil Sect!” Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
“Pass down the order and let everyone cheer up. Don’t doze off there. The truly difficult time has arrived!”
Everyone in the Holy City took their places and entered the formation to contribute their share of power. Not only Dao Realm experts, but also Void Realm experts and Xiantian Realm experts were also like this!
This was the confluence of the will of everyone in the Holy City, transforming into an insurmountable, indestructible, and guardian power.
On the city wall, streaks of light lit up. Tens of thousands of figures stood side by side on the city wall. Everyone’s aspirations formed a city, and they all let out bursts of shouts that shook the nine heavens.
Li Qing looked at the scene below and couldn’t help but feel a little dazed. How impassioned and energetic was this? He had once possessed it himself, but now, he was standing on the opposite side.
“There are so many people and so much strength. This is indeed true. Unfortunately, how many times can you resist my attacks?” Li Qing gathered his thoughts and his expression became cold again. He took out his Heavenly Saber and slashed down fiercely!
Zhenshan River!
With his current strength increasing, Zhenshan River was already incredibly large. The ultimate mystery of this move was that it was great. As long as it was large enough, it could destroy everything!
Rumble!
The heavens and the earth changed color, and the sun and moon did not shine!
A gigantic saber shadow descended from the sky like a collision of stars, slashing down on this ancient holy city with unparalleled power!
