Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 122 War

The crowd gathered there, looking ahead with fear.

There were thick black clouds on the distant horizon. There were scarlet light spots there, which were the eyes of the dark creatures. In the darkness, they were like fire, which was extremely dazzling.

At this moment, everyone was aware that the dark forces were about to attack Tianyuan City.

“Everyone in the city, be on guard!” Somehow, the current Saber Mistress of the Saber-drawing Sect, Bing Yurong, had come to the city gate, shouting loudly with a grim face.

Thousands of female saber warriors of the Saber-drawing Sect were standing behind her respectfully, including the three elders whom Ding Hao had seen during the day.

The rolling dark clouds were getting closer and closer, and the eyes of the crowd were attracted by the dark army in the distance. They could already see the unusually restless dark creatures with bright red and bloodthirsty eyes.

Endless dark creatures flew through the sky, and everywhere they passed, the clouds were minced apart while the air became sluggish and oppressive.

These dark creatures were surrounded by black mist. Like evil spirits crawling out of the abyss, they were shrill, fierce, and ferocious. Their eyes were extremely red as if they had been watered by blood. From time to time, they let out low growls. They were like beasts ready to pounce on their prey at any time, which made the martial artists who saw these dark creatures for the first time turn pale while their hands and feet trembled.

However, those who were able to stand here were all brave and determined people. Although some of them were frightened, they quickly recovered after taking a few breaths. They were prepared to deal with everything.

“What a frightening energy ripple. These monsters are really aggressive. However, even if this is the case, I will not allow you to destroy the place where I was raised. I will not hesitate to risk my life!”

“Yes, the Saber-drawing Sect has done me a great favor in the past. Now that Tianyuan City is in trouble, it’s time for me to repay them. I’ll try my best to kill these monsters!”

“Humph. Now is the time to try my newly mastered Magnetic Extreme Fist Technique. Monsters, I’ll practice my new skills on you. You will be my stepping stones to make great achievements and become famous all over the world!”

“Kill them!”

The martial artists standing on the city wall all looked solemn. Some of them shouted to protect Tianyuan City, while others wanted to make a name for themselves with different purposes.

Some of the old, weak, sick, disabled, women, and children who had stayed in the city just heard about the attack of the dark forces. Their faces turned pale, and they were shivering in the corners. Some of them were kneeling on the ground, muttering as if they were praying to the heavens.

Time passed slowly.

The atmosphere became extremely tense as well.

At the same time, the dark army gradually approached.

In just a few minutes, these people felt as if thousands of years had passed.

Finally, the dark army came to Tianyuan City.

But at the moment, people in Tianyuan City were all shocked. Even those martial artists who thought they could use the war to practice, including Bing Yurong, the Saber Mistress, were also horrified and trembling physically and mentally.

Only when the dark army completely entered their sight did they realize that the dark creatures’ numbers had actually reached several hundred thousand. It was a black expanse, and there were even a few dark experts with auras that were like abysses at the very front. They were incomparably terrifying dark experts, and they were clearly in the Eternal Realm.

In addition, there were tens of thousands of Feather Clan members next to these dark creatures. Most of them were in the God Realm, and some of them had reached the True Immortal Realm.

“How terrifying!” The crowd was terribly terrified. The lofty sentiments they’d imagined earlier had completely vanished in an instant.

Only when they really faced this dark force did they know how terrible it was.

The dark army had such a huge force, and they had more than five Eternal Realm experts. How could Tianyuan City, which merely had nearly 100,000 warriors who were capable to fight, resist them? Before the battle began, their hearts had turned cold and their bodies could not help trembling.

They knew very well that it was simply impossible for them to resist this terrifying force with the strength of their city alone. They would only end up being devoured.

“There are so many enemies, and some of them are in the Eternal Realm!” Bing Yurong stared ahead with her beautiful eyes. Her heart trembled, and her pretty face was even a little pale. However, as the Saber Mistress and the leader of this place, she knew that it was not the time to panic. She quickly calmed down and immediately ordered, “Contact the White-Robed Divine Palace immediately and ask for reinforcements. Do it now…”

“Yes, Sect Leader!” A female saber warrior beside her responded and took out something like a fire lighter from her storage bag, which had a thin thread under it.

Pulling down the line, the thing in the female saber warrior’s hand, like an arrow, flew out of her hand in an instant. At the same time, a cluster of fire shot out of the void and went straight to the rear.

Feeling the increasingly flustered atmosphere around her, Bing Yurong knew that she should say something at this time. “Although there are many of them, as long as we hold on until reinforcements arrive, we will definitely survive. Our main goal now is to delay…”

Bing Yurong was very clear about the situation on her side and quickly made a decision. But when she said this, the change of the scene made her face pale.

When the dark army saw the fire shooting out, a dark figure at the forefront suddenly waved his hand, and wisps of dark energy burst out from his hand like crystal light.

The dark energy transformed for a while in the void. Like tentacles, it divided into hundreds of streams and shot straight at every corner of Tianyuan City.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city was enveloped.

Tianyuan City seemed to be besieged by a huge birdcage at the moment.

It was a dark tactical deployment.

At the same time, the fire that shot straight through the void stopped as if it were grabbed by an invisible hand. After the dark expert in the center sneered, the fire turned into powder with a click and drifted away with the wind.

The communication was cut off by the dark tactical deployment.

This meant that even if the White-Robed Divine Palace responded, the reinforcements would not be able to arrive for the time being.

This situation shocked all the martial artists in Tianyuan City. Their faces turned pale. They felt as if they were about to see the end of the world.

The dark army had five experts whose cultivation bases had reached the Eternal Realm. One of them had even reached the middle stage of the Eternal Realm.

This time, they came here to seize Tianyuan City by force. Otherwise, they would not have dispatched so many top masters.

The person in the lead was named Sikou Yong, and he was the leader of this dark army.

He was eight feet tall and extremely strong. When he opened and closed his eyes, there was a fierce look in them. His upper body was naked, and there was a necklace made of human finger bones hanging on his neck. It was pure white and flawless. His whole body was full of explosive power. There was a huge white bone axe on his back. He was like a War God, a fierce figure that could not be easily provoked.

Sikou Yong looked down coldly. As if giving an order to something not worth mentioning, he said in an indifferent voice, “There’s a force here called the Saber-drawing Sect. The four of you will go together and seize this city quickly. We have to go somewhere else later. We’re lagging behind. We need to seize a large number of forces as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Lord Ding Tong descends on this land, all of us will suffer…”

“Yes, sir!” The four people behind him shrank their heads at the same time as if they had thought of something horrible. Then, they nodded and looked down with vicious eyes.

The four people stepped forward at the same time and went straight to Tianyuan City. They were as fast as lightning and ghosts. With gusts of wind whistling, they were so fast that people could not capture their figures at all.

At this time, those dark creatures roared. Like black waterfalls, they poured down and rushed straight to Tianyuan City.

The Feather Clan members also followed Sikou Yong’s instructions.

“Activate the tactical deployment!” When Bing Yurong saw this, she immediately ordered the people in the city to activate the tactical deployment to protect the city.

Waves of powerful restriction formation power suddenly filled the air, and huge beams of light rose into the sky. They intertwined with each other and outlined a strange pattern. At the same time, they formed a powerful tactical deployment.

On the dark army’s side, the person at the very front let out a cold laugh. His arm trembled as sharp dark energy erupted. His momentum was oppressive. The black light curled and agglomerated into a dark demon dragon that bared its fangs and brandished its claws. It was incomparably frightening.

The demon dragon pounced on the tactical deployment and shook violently. A dazzling light shot straight into people’s eyes.

“Break!” The man said one word, which was like a decree from heaven. In an instant, the seemingly powerful tactical deployment that was protecting the city was broken like paper by the demon dragon, which even rushed straight to Tianyuan City with endless momentum.

In the next instant, however, a streak of blade light shot out.

As the Saber Mistress, Bing Yurong had made her move.

She pointed at the sky with her fair hand, and her beautiful face looked gloomy and determined.

Although it was expected that the tactical deployment would be broken, the people of Tianyuan City, including Bing Yurong, were really surprised that it would be broken so fast.

The blade light struck the demon dragon in the blink of an eye.

The demon dragon let out a howl, and dazzling light burst out in the sky like fireworks.

The dark army didn’t stop there, and the person at the very front increased his speed. His expression didn’t change at all as he fell straight down like a shooting star.

“Charge!” Bing Yurong’s pupils contracted when she saw this. She did not dare stay any longer. She immediately gave a loud shout and soared into the sky with the female saber warriors of the Saber-drawing Sect behind her, as well as many other rogue cultivators.

Even if they knew that the dark army was extremely powerful and they were very likely to die, it was impossible for them to stay where they were and wait for death. Even if they died, they had to die with value.

Therefore, many martial artists made up their minds. They seemed to have put their lives on the line and rushed to the clouds to meet their enemies.

“Kill them!”

Before Bing Yurong could reach the enemy, she took the initiative to attack. She waved her white hand, and a dazzling light flashed out. As the light twined, it formed a three-meter-long giant saber. She held the hilt in her hand, and a gust of sharp saber Qi burst out in an instant. It was extremely different from her temperament, but it was so eye-catching.

She let out a horrifying shout and suddenly emitted terrifying killing intent. The giant saber in her hand was spitting out violent Qi, which was very stunning.

Like a wild dragon, the giant saber Qi charged straight at the Eternal Realm expert at the very front.
