Chapter 736 - Three Thousand Swordsmen
In the Great Hall of the Demonic Lightning Sect
“We have now occupied half of the territories of the Hundred Battles Domain.”
In the Great Hall, there was a spiritual light screen spread open, with Nine Nether’s slim finger pointing at the map of the Hundred Battles Domain. Nearly half of the cities that originally belonged to the Hundred Battles Domain had been occupied by the Great Havenlaw Domain. One can imagine how intense the battles were in the past month.
Mu Chen was also looking at the map and could faintly smell the stench of blood that was coming from it. Every single city’s capture was probably done with bloodshed. War was cruel and ruthless.
This was no longer the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
“But the battle has probably just begun for real.” Nine Nether spoke in a calm voice.
Mu Chen, Tang Bing and the other experts of the Nine Nether Palace heavily nodded their head. They knew that in the past month, the three top forces of the Hundred Battles Domain had yet to take any action. Otherwise, the seizing speed of the Great Havenlaw Domain wouldn’t be so fast.
“Is there any commotion coming from the Myriad Swords Valley, Demonic Corpse Sect and the Great Compassion Sky?” Mu Chen asked. Since the defence was compressed this far, the three top forces couldn’t still be enduring it. Otherwise, the other forces of the Hundred Battles Domain would be unhappy with them.
“According to the latest information we have, all the forces of the Myriad Swords Valley, Demonic Corpse Sect and the Great Compassion Sky have already gathered here.” Nine Nether slightly narrowed her slender eyes and her slender finger pointed at a location on the map. It was the highest defensive point of the Hundred Battles Domain.
“Hundred Battles City.”
Mu Chen looked at the city on the map. It was said that this was the biggest and most important city of the Hundred Battles Domain. At usual times, it would be managed by the three combined forces. But right now, it had probably become the most solid line of defence for the Hundred Battles Domain.
Facing this important city, even the forces of the Great Havenlaw Domain felt difficult about it.
“Experts of the Myriad Swords Valley, Demonic Corpse Sect and the Great Compassion Sky, along with the other forces of the Hundred Battles Domain, are all gathered there. This is a considerable power.” Nine Nether’s expression also turned much heavier.
“Furthermore, the Hundred Battles Domain has already issued a decisive battle invitation to our Great Havenlaw Domain. Right now, there are probably countless gazes focused here. If our Great Havenlaw Domain were to take a step back and show the slightest weakness, it would probably completely destroy our reputation.”
“Decisive battle invitation?” Mu Chen’s face slightly changed. The Hundred Battles Domain is actually so daring to issue the decisive battle invitation?
“Looks like with the secret support from the Sky Profound Palace, the Hundred Battles Domain has gotten bolder.” Nine Nether sneered.
Mu Chen also nodded his head upon hearing her words. When the Expedition War started, the Domain Ruler of their Great Havenlaw Domain had once said that Liu Tiandao of the Sky Profound Palace was secretly glaring at them like prey. So the Domain Ruler couldn’t act out that easily. That also meant that they had lost the Domain Ruler, a powerful expert that could determine the situation with a single move. It was so much so that there wasn’t any absolute advantage for their Great Havenlaw Domain.
It’s no wonder why the Hundred Battles Domain dared to risk issuing a decisive battle invitation. After all, if they won, they would be able to step on the Great Havenlaw Domain, and expand their reputation.
That meant that this battle wouldn’t be easy for their Great Havenlaw Domain.
“What are the instructions of the Three Emperors?” Mu Chen inquired. The Three Emperors were in control of the overall situation in this Expedition War, and now that the Hundred Battles Domain was so arrogant to the point of issuing a battle invitation, there should be movements from the Three Emperors.
“The Three Emperors have ordered all of the experts belonging to the Great Havenlaw Domain to gather towards the Hundred Battles City. Right now, anywhere within a thousand miles in radius is nearly filled with the flames of war,” said Nine Nether.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. With the position of the Great Havenlaw Domain, they naturally had to accept the decisive battle invitation. Therefore, the upcoming battle would probably be terrifyingly intense and brutal.
This was the true confrontation between the two colossal forces. The previous battles were just small fights.
“Then, what about us?” Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether. Now that the Great Havenlaw Domain had activated all of their experts, it was natural that their Nine Nether Palace could not avoid it.
“Move out, towards Hundred Battles City!”
Nine Nether stood tall, there wasn’t any hesitation in her. She waved her hand and her cold voice rang out in this hall. As a member of the Great Havenlaw Domain, they definitely couldn’t avoid such an important battle.
“Yes!”
All the experts of the Nine Nether Palace barked out with their fists cupped together.
Mu Chen also raised his head, looking out of the great hall towards the far northwest. The sky appeared to be filled with Battle Will as the sky became dark and suppressed.
However, the blood in his body was boiling, bit by bit, at this moment. He needed such a battle because it was unavoidable for there to be grindstones on his path to becoming a supreme expert.
There would be a day when his name would spread far and wide, to every single corner of the Great Havenlaw Domain. Only then, could he have the qualification to fulfil his promise with that girl.
Luo Li, wait for me.
…
Hundred Battles City
It was a majestic city that could shock others. This city was said to be passed down from the primordial times, experiencing countless stunning battles and yet still towering over this land.
Today, this ancient city was, once again, covered in the flames of war.
A massive light array shone down from the sky, like a huge bowl that had been turned over as it enveloped the entire city. Right now in the city, there were countless silhouettes streaking across the horizon from every direction as powerful fluctuations of Spiritual Energy soared into the heavens.
In the horizon outside the city, a multitude of figures standing on the air. The countless powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations had directly caused signs of distortion on space itself.
The battlefield was spread out with the Hundred Battles Domain in the center till the end of one’s sight.
Southwest of the Hundred Battles Domain
Although this place was a little far from the Hundred Battles City, the flames of war had never stopped. Forces belonging to the two factions were unleashing bloodshed and killing intent in this area.
Right now, the battle was clearly more intense on these plains, and the two forces that were fighting each other were clearly not ordinary, they were two troops with Battle Will!
On the left-hand side, they were donned in yellow armour and appeared golden, wielding heavy halberds with robust and majestic Battle Will that was like a hurricane that wreaked havoc on this land.
On their golden armour, there were gilding runes. They were the Kingo Troop of the Gild King!
Although the fame of this Kingo Troop wasn’t comparable to powerful troops like the Asura Troop, Mountain Splitting Troop and Blood Hawk Troop, it wasn’t weak and their achievements could be considered as glorious.
But this time, the situation of the Kingo Troop didn’t look good.
Because their opponent was a troop donned in asura clothing and longswords were posed in a slanted manner. Terrifying Sword Aura wreaked havoc on this land as it drilled thousands of holes in the sky.
The Three Thousand Swordsmen of the Myriad Sword Valley!
Their unique style had already identified them, they were the Three Thousand Swordsmen of the Myriad Swords Valley. This was the strongest troop under the Myriad Swords Valley, and their fighting capabilities were top-ranked, even in the Hundred Battles Domain.
From their reputation alone, the Three Thousand Swordsmen of the Myriad Swords Valley was clearly stronger than the Kingo Troop.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sword Aura swept over from every direction as they continuously weakened the Battle Will of the Kingo Troop that looked like a torrent of gold. Facing the attacks of the Three Thousand Swordsmen, the Kingo Troop could only defend themselves.
There were other forces battling n these plains as well, but because of the Three Thousand Swordsmen was suppressing the Kingo Troop, the morale of the Hundred Battles Domain soared, while the Great Havenlaw Domain continuously retreated.
“Haha, Domain Lord Qian Feng, your Kingo Troop can no longer last. Why don’t you give up your resistance to prevent anymore bloodshed?” A laughter rang across the sky that was filled with Sword Aura. In the sky above the Three Thousand Swordsmen, there was a figure donned in azure robes standing there. A purple azure longsword hung on his back. He looked at the Kingo Troop that had been stubbornly resisting with smiles on his face.
He was the Domain Lord of the Three Thousand Swordsmen, Lin Qingfeng. His reputation in the Hundred Battles Domain was similar to that of Xu Qing and Zhou Yue.
In the sky where the Kingo Troop was located, a robust-looking man had an ugly expression on his face as he looked at Lin Qingfeng with his teeth clenched. He never thought that he would be so unlucky. He was just cleaning up the remnants and bumped into the Three Thousand Swordsmen that suddenly came from nowhere. He clearly knew how powerful the Three Thousand Swordsmen were. Even in their Great Havenlaw Domain, only the Asura Troop and Mountain Splitting Troop led by Xu Qing and Zhou Yue respectively could confront them.
But this time, if it wasn’t for the fact that the other party did not bring along the entire troop of the Three Thousand Swordsmen, his Kingo Troop would have lost long ago. But even so, he could only barely put up a resistance.
“Lin Qingfeng, don’t be too proud of yourself. The experts of my Great Havenlaw Domain will soon arrive, and I’ll see how you are going to deal with it.” Qian Feng barked with his teeth clenched.
“Haha, since you have reminded me, I will deal with you guys first.” Qin Feng, who was donned in azure robes, gently smiled. Two of his fingers were bent and pointed towards the sky. The Battle Will of Sword Aura swept out in every direction, forming a huge sword that was a thousand feet in size. The Sword Aura formed of Spiritual Energy even tore space apart.
At the sight of this, Qian Feng’s expression instantly changed as a huge sense of danger rose in his heart. He immediately barked, “Divine Kingo Shield!”
Boom!
Golden Battle Will soared into the sky and swiftly form into a huge golden shield before the Kingo Troop. The shield was even more sturdy than a mountain, the firmness of it made others smack their lips.
Rustle!
There wasn’t any hesitation in the huge sword as it slashed down under Lin Qingfeng’s calm expression. It heavily slashed against the golden shield as the fearsome Sword Aura burst from it.
Crackle!
As the Sword Aura wreaked havoc, there was a drastic change in expression on Qian Feng’s face because he saw cracks swiftly expanding on the golden shield. In the end, it was sliced into two under his gaze, which was overwhelmed with shock.
“We’re done for!”
Qian Feng’s face was pale because the Kingo Troop would definitely suffer a huge loss this time.
Lin Qingfeng still maintained a calm expression at the sight of this scene. However, just when he was about to control the huge sword to slash down and sweep the Kingo Troop away, his gaze suddenly narrowed, because there were violent roars of thunder that suddenly resounded from the horizon far away.
Boom!
A black lightning was like a raging dragon as it burst from the horizon and it was directed at Lin Qingfeng.
Lin Qingfeng gently frowned his brows. The huge sword that was slashing down instantly moved and clashed with the black lightning dragon.
Boom!
A violent storm of Spiritual Energy swept out, causing many experts in this region to raise their heads in shock, looking towards the distant sky.
“Who dares to obstruct me?” Lin Qingfeng’s voice faintly resounded as sharp Sword Aura burst out, splitting the layers of clouds apart. His sharp gaze was directed towards the sky that was gradually turning black.
In that area, there were constant roars of thunder.
Along with the roars of thunder, a bright laughter also resounded as well.
“Great Havenlaw Domain, Nine Nether Troop of the Nine Nether Palace!”
