Chapter 449 - 407: I Will Defend Against the Pursuers

Chapter 449: Chapter 407: I Will Defend Against the Pursuers

The evidence is irrefutable, right before our eyes!

Wangg Hao shouted sharply: "Capture them for me!"

Everyone’s spiritual power surged violently, and waves of spiritual pressure soared into the sky.

In Xu Chengyun’s mind, many thoughts flashed at once, and he shouted, "Don’t make a move! Don’t make a move!"

He stared intently at Zhuang Qing and Yinn Hongbo: "Both of you, please don’t act rashly, come back with us courteously to Mingjian Mountain, and await the Zhenren’s decision. Rest easy, even if—"

With a loud bang!

A dark light ripped through the wind and clouds, carrying the force to shake mountains and seas, suddenly shot out from the forest on the ground, and in a blink, it was behind Xu Chengyun!

In that instant, Xu Chengyun suddenly recalled the fear of being ambushed and critically injured during the battle of Liuhua Valley years ago.

Learning from the past, he remained constantly alert to his surroundings, and as the dark light struck, he had already grasped his radiant and crystal-clear Five-Stringed Treasure Zither.

With a "ding," the sound of the zither resonated, and the invisible binding force transmitted through the sound waves, momentarily halting the dark light.

By this time, Zhang Wei beside him shouted angrily, the Dao Pattern activated, and a saber and sword spewed thunder light, purple lightning flashing wildly, producing a sudden bolt of thunder that blew the dark light away.

At this moment, everyone could see clearly that the dark light was actually a Heaven-Piercing Halberd wrapped in the illusion of a Hornless Dragon!

Another great halberd?!

Xu Chengyun was suddenly alarmed, as a figure burst forth from the ground, extending a palm for a heavy strike.

Dao Pattern: Mirage Qi!

Clouds rolled and mist surged, and clouds with prismatic glow abruptly swirled around the six Mid-Stage Foundation Establishments, scattering them.

A voice shouted, "Reinforcements from Yunshan Sect have arrived! Sect Leader Yinn, Elder Zhuang, hurry and leave!"

Beyond the distant mountains, three Floating Battleships suddenly leapt forth, speeding rapidly toward here, their streamlined hulls especially striking, precisely the Yunshan Sect’s Void-Soaring and Distant-Guarding Divine Ships!

Upon hearing these words and seeing this scene, everyone was taken aback.

Wangg Hao shouted, "Traitors! You really have colluded with the Yunshan Sect!"

He immediately activated the Dao Pattern, gathering roaring Xun Wind and engulfing himself within, materializing a ten-foot-tall Xun Wind Giant. With its fists raised, it swept up a mighty wind, hammering toward Yinn Hongbo beside.

In Zhuang Qing’s heart, it was as if a Celestial Thunder exploded; at this moment, cold sweat dripped down furiously, and he understood everything.

It’s the Yunshan Sect!

"No—"

But it was too late to explain! Wangg Hao’s heavy strike descended, and Yinn Hongbo, already on the brink of eruption, roared as a golden brush slid into his hand, sketching a sidelong Spirit Talisman, causing the Xun Wind Giant’s fists to slightly slide off, brushing past his body.

Then, with another hook and flick, a series of dark purple talismans were unleashed like a storm, erupting into blazing fires on the Xun Wind Giant.

As Zhuang Qing was about to shout an explanation, Zhang Wei’s thunderbolt leapt at his head, forcing him to draw the Silver Heroic Brush, countering with an Annihilation Spirit Talisman to disperse the thunderbolt.

At this time, a strange Foundation Establishment from the Yunshan Sect was already locked in battle with Liang Zhixing, and in front of Xu Chengyun stood a tall cultivator with a masked face, wielding a large halberd.

Yunshan Sect, Wang Yu!

He shouted, "Allies retreat quickly! Leave this to us!"

Waving his long halberd, drawing a dark arc, the halberd’s blade cut through the air with a loud explosion, cleaving toward Xu Chengyun’s head!

Enemies met, boiling with hatred.

Xu Chengyun gritted his teeth, lightly strumming the strings: Dao Pattern: Qiuniu!

Melodious and gentle zither sounds arose, and Qiuniu emerged from the Void, yellowish with golden scales, dragon-headed with a snake’s body, ten feet long and as thick as a massive jar, coiled up and shielding Xu Chengyun within.

With a resounding "clang," like a great bronze bell ringing, Qiuniu let out an anguished roar as its scales shattered, and the Hornless Dragon Halberd rebounded high.

Zhuang Qing and Zhang Wei exchanged several blows, seized the moment to retreat, barely uttering "Injustice," when Xu Chengyun’s furious roar resounded: "Capture them! Capture them all!"

Yinn Hongbo shouted heedlessly: "Disciples of the Spirit Talisman Sect, prepare for battle!"

Suddenly overwhelmed by bitterness, he felt a pressure in his chest, nearly spewing out a mouthful of old blood.

It’s over, impossible to explain!

At this moment, Zhang Wei’s thunderbolts swept over once more, forcing Zhuang Qing to muster his spirit and paint to counter.

Enough! Enough! If it must break, let it break; this time I’ll do as Hui’er suggested, no half measures!

In mere moments, eight had already paired off into fierce combat, battling on Kongming Mountain!

Amidst the five surrounding Floating Battleships, fifty Qi Cultivation Elites flew out, supporting the Xuanguang Sect Foundation Establishments. The remaining 150 boarded the five Floating Battleships, meeting the three fast-approaching Yunshan Sect Divine Ships head-on.

By this time, the disciples of the Spirit Talisman Sect, under the Sect Leader’s orders, rose into the sky and surged forward, colliding directly with the Xuanguang Sect Elites, forming a tangled melee.

The entire battlefield descended into utter chaos, as Xu Chengyun dexterously maneuvered the strings, commanding Qiuniu’s spinning body to lash out with full force. An earth-shattering sound like a mountain collapsing echoed, as Wang Yu, blocking the halberd before him, was swept away as if struck by a mountain ridge!

Hmph, just an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Xu Chengyun scanned the scene with his Divine Sense, troubled by the Yunshan Sect’s unexpectedly formidable presence and wondering where they found another Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar?

However, with two Late-Stage and two Mid-Stage Foundation Establishments on our side, despite the unexpected presence of an additional Mid-Stage on theirs, it was merely three Mid-Stages and an Early-Stage, clearly an advantage for us!

He strummed the strings, the zither tunes shifted sharply, prompting Qiuniu’s soft low growl, as it pounced toward the slightly advantageous Zhuang Qing.

As rival disciples tangled into a heap, wails of agony echoed frequently, and blood splattered across the azure sky.

Amidst the utterly chaotic situation, Zhuang Qing shouted loudly, "Injustice! It’s all a scheme by the Yunshan Sect!" Yet, his hand relentlessly unleashed Spirit Talismans, as spiritual power surged wildly, casting three consecutive Annihilation Spirit Talismans to momentarily stall Qiuniu and Zhang Wei.

At this moment, Yinn Hongbo, in combat with Wangg Hao, had fallen into a disadvantage. The Xun Wind Giant was impervious to water and fire, bearing swift and powerful assaults with vast attack ranges. Though Yinn Hongbo had activated the Dao Pattern Chain, connecting several Spirit Talismans in a series with thunderous roar, he could only sustain dodges.

Fortunately, at this crucial juncture, Zhuang Qing flashed over, and their cooperative synergy was seamless, blending Dao Pattern Chain and Talismanic Form to suppress Wangg Hao’s fervor.

But Xu Chengyun and Zhang Wei also caught up.

"Injustice? Surrender, then we’ll talk about injustice!"

Just as he directed Qiuniu to charge, suddenly the exotic beast let out a pained wail, its golden scales shedding, and its spiritual light gushed out like pouring blood!

With a sweep of Divine Sense, black qi was tangling Qiuniu’s body, large swathes of black spots appeared on its golden form.

This is poisoning!

With a gust of wind, Wang Yu’s figure flashed into the scene, Heaven-Piercing Halberd tracing an arc straight at Zhang Wei’s head!

Clang!

Zhang Wei barely blocked with a defensive spiritual artifact before let out a pained cry, swept away by the tremendous force.

What’s with Wang Yu? Directly hit by Qiuniu’s tail and still so lively?

Xu Chengyun was both shocked and furious, watching Wang Yu, standing straight with his halberd, already positioned before the poisoned Qiuniu.

The already tall and sturdy Wang Yu had swollen another circle, becoming a small giant. Beneath his exposed fair skin, black veins coiled like Qiu Dragon, forming a fearsome pattern.

Massive steam steamed from his body like clouds and mist swirling around. His heartbeat inside his chest was like drumming, vividly heard by everyone in the field.

The most shocking were his broad, muscular arms, not only incredibly elongated but also bristling with red hair, truly bizarre!

Judging from this form, is this Martial Cultivator?

Where did this freakish Martial Cultivator come from!

With a flicker, Wang Yu wielded his long halberd like a dark dragon swimming.

"Sect Leader Yinn, Elder Zhuang, move swiftly! I’ll hold off the pursuers!"
