Fight on multiple fronts and achieve success on every front.
This is the best description of the battle situation of Huanling Sect at this time.
The demons in the Wujian Realm are already stronger than the humans in the Zhongling Realm. Now they are fighting intentionally, so how can they not win?
some.
Because some people are destined not to be viewed with common sense.
The night shrouded the Yishui River.
Yishui is the largest river in Yanmen Prefecture in Zhongling Domain and a tributary of Daqing River.
The weather was cold and frosty. Cold air rose from the surface of the Yishui River, covering the sky above the river in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
There is a building complex next to the Yi River, consisting of more than ten pavilions. I guess there are not many people in it.
But no one has ever dared to underestimate this place.
Because this place is called Yishuitai, it is one of the bases of the Eastern Domain Sword Sect in the Central Spiritual Domain.
It is also
The Sword Sect has never been a sect whose strength can be judged by the number of people .
Their strength is determined only by their names and the swords in their hands.
At this time, more than twenty people gathered in one of the pavilions of Yishui Terrace.
The person in the middle was a middle-aged monk dressed in green, with a strange aura exuding from his every move.
The master of the Sword Sect’s Haoran Peak and the master of Taibai Sword.
Although his ages in three lives combined make him the oldest in the Sword Sect, he is still extremely young in this third life.
It can be seen from his mental state and appearance.
Taibai Sword Master is one of the seven peak masters of the Sword Sect, but judging from his current seventh realm cultivation, it seems that he is far behind the other six peak masters, and is far from being worthy of the position of peak master.
For this reason, the other six peak masters of the Sword Sect are all guarding Yumen Pass, and only Taibai Sword Master is either alone in the Sword Sect or traveling around.
This time, the demon army was approaching outside Yumen Pass, and the six peak masters of the Sword Sect were all preparing for war and did not dare to leave Yumen Pass easily.
But after the master of Shuiyue Temple passed the information obtained from the investigation to Xia Daoyun, Xia Daoyun took this so-called traitor in Huanling Sect very seriously.
Although one of the reasons was that she was keenly aware that the affairs of the Huanling Sect would never be simple, if you think about it more deeply, it was probably more because of the unique protective mentality of women that made Xia Daoyun particularly dissatisfied with the traitor in the Huanling Sect who almost killed her first disciple.
Unable to leave for the moment, but determined to kill, Xia Daoyun was very conflicted at first.
It was not until Taibai Sword Master learned the news that he volunteered.
At first, Xia Daoyun did not agree much. After all, no matter how promising the master of Haoran Peak was, he was only a seventh-level cultivator now. How could he set a sure kill situation against the eighth-level cultivators of Huanling Sect?
But I don't know what Master Taibai Sword said to Xia Daoyun later, which made Xia Daoyun feel relieved and handed the task to him.
Compared to the covert ambush set by Daxia and Tianji Temple against Huanling Sect, the Jian Sect seemed extremely careless.
It's not that I don't care.
It is a kind of self-confidence that is unique to the Sword Sect’s cultivators.
In my Sword Sect, there is absolutely no such thing as betrayal or leaking of information.
Therefore, Master Taibai Sword did not deliberately hide his whereabouts among the Sword Sect monks.
This is also a big advantage of having fewer people.
There are all kinds of birds in a big forest.
But up to now, the number of people in the Sword Sect is no more than 3,000, and they are all the most free-spirited sword practitioners.
Betrayal and collaboration with the enemy have always been extremely unfamiliar terms to the Sword Sect.
"Master Haoran Peak," the sword cultivator named Beipu in the pavilion asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"
The Lord of Haoran Peak, also known as the Lord of Taibai Sword, held an urgent message from Longcheng Pass in his left hand, his expression slightly cold.
"The Huanling Sect aided the demons in their abuses, the Mingyue Formation fell into the hands of the demons, and Longcheng Pass was lost!"
This is the specific content of the urgent message.
Every word has the force of a thousand pounds, making people dizzy.
This urgent message has already been sent from Longcheng Pass and has reached the desks of the leaders of the top forces in the Zhongling Domain.
Since Yishui is geographically closer to Longcheng Pass, their Sword Sect Yishuitai was one of the first forces to receive this urgent news.
At least they received the news much earlier than Black Cloud Mountain, which was a million miles away.
However, what really made Taibai Sword Master angry and worried was actually a spiritual letter in his right hand.
"The four great masters of Huanling Sect and all high-level cultivators are all demons. We will sacrifice our lives in the bloody battle, and the rest will be left to you."
The signature is Taoist Master Li Xing.
This is a spiritual letter that Taoist Master Li Xing sent out through his own means at the moment of his self-destruction after he learned the truth about the Huanling Sect.
Taoist Master Li Xing chose to send this spiritual letter to Yishuitai of the Sword Sect.
It doesn’t mean that the Sword Sect is definitely the best choice.
But the Sword Sect would definitely not be a wrong choice.
That is enough.
At this moment, there was deathly silence in the pavilion.
Everyone looked very unhappy.
Everyone understands the seriousness of these two matters.
The Taibai Sword Master, who was the gentlest in the past, no longer had a smile on his face, showing the majesty and calmness that a peak master should have.
"The three of you go together and take these two spiritual letters back to the East Region immediately and convey them to the Sect Master." Taibai Sword Master glanced at the dark night outside the pavilion, then turned his gaze back and pointed out the three sword cultivators including Beipu, saying, "Reinforcements, we can't delay for a moment."
According to the current situation, if the human race's reinforcements arrive at the Central Spiritual Realm every night, countless humans will die in the Central Spiritual Realm.
Bei Pu was slightly startled, "What about you, Peak Master?"
“Since the top leaders of Huanling Sect are all demons, then what the Shuiyue Temple Master said about Huanling Sect wanting to seize the cross-domain teleportation array is not the intention of one or two people, but the intention of the entire clan.” Taibai Sword Master said.
"The situation is even clearer. The reason why the demons want to seize the inter-domain teleportation array is obviously to isolate the Central Spiritual Realm so that they have enough time to slowly devour this realm."
"There is no doubt that the manpower they deployed this time to seize the formation is definitely not just as strong as the investigation showed. It will be several times stronger to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"If I'm not mistaken, at this moment, only one out of ten of the other inter-domain teleportation arrays in the Central Spiritual Domain should be left, or even completely wiped out. Then our Sword Sect's inter-domain teleportation array is very likely to be the last one left in the Central Spiritual Domain. It is a vital path to life and cannot be lost."
Taibai Sword Master said in a loud voice: "I and the rest of the people will stay and defend Yishui until reinforcements arrive."
Bei Pu and other sword cultivators nodded when they heard this, but they always felt something was wrong. After a moment, he suddenly reacted.
“But, Peak Master, you are only at the seventh realm now. If you stay to guard this place... isn’t it too dangerous?” Bei Pu frowned.
Taibai Sword Master smiled and shook his head, "I forgot to tell you that I had already broken through to the eighth realm a few days ago."
If he had not broken through to the eighth realm, how could Xia Daoyun be so confident in handing this task to him.
"But..." Beipu was still worried.
Even if you break through to the eighth realm, you are just entering the eighth realm.
Taibai Sword Master smiled and said, "My eight realms are quite different from your eight realms."
"I am invincible in the seventh realm. Now when I reach the eighth realm, it will be difficult for ordinary eighth realm warriors to kill me." His tone was calm, but it revealed a strong self-confidence.
"You must know that you are the leader of our Sword Sect. If they see you, they will definitely kill you." Bei Pu had actually already judged in his heart that Taibai Sword Master had just entered the Eighth Realm. Even if he was very strong, his combat power would not exceed the Three Tribulations Realm at most. He hurriedly persuaded him on the spot.
"Of course I know." Taibai Sword Master nodded.
"The number of people dispatched by Huanling Sect this time will be terrifying, and they may even dispatch the Nine Realms..."
"You all know that I will be very strong once I reach the eighth level, but you never know how strong I will be."
Everyone present was silent.
They were all high-level cultivators of the Sword Sect, and one of them was even at the Fourth Tribulation Realm, so they all knew something about the life story of Taibai Sword Master.
If you think about it carefully, what Master Taibai Sword said is indeed true.
Although he had just entered the Eighth Realm, this was actually his third time reaching the Tribulation Realm.
Who knows what kind of background such a person has and what kind of energy he will burst out?
The cultivators of the Eighth Realm who visited the Eighth Realm three times must be very different from those of the other Eight Realms, right?
Military intelligence was of utmost importance, so Bei Pu finally stopped talking and left Zhongling Domain overnight with the other two, taking two urgent messages through a cross-domain teleportation array and delivering the intelligence to Yumen Pass.
…
Shortly after the three sword cultivators left the Central Spirit Realm, Taibai Sword Master slowly stood up, leaned over the railing, and looked out the window at the night scene, pondering something.
A moment later, a faint light appeared on the horizon.
Master Taibai Sword looked at the faint light and narrowed his eyes.
"Coming." he said.
The other sword cultivators behind him were all shocked when they heard this, and they immediately released their spiritual sense to investigate, but they found nothing and all had puzzled looks on their faces.
Master Taibai Sword did not explain much, but just quietly looked at the Yishui River outside the window which was still emitting cold air.
Two breaths later.
A loud voice like thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
The air currents began to surge, and the cold air became chaotic.
In the sky, a gigantic demon spider appeared, crushing the forest and shattering the air.
The demon spider was as huge as a mountain, dark green all over, with hairs all over it shining with cold light, making it look more like spider spears, glittering with bloodthirsty intent.
In the dim light, dozens of figures can be seen on the body of the demon spider.
One of the people on the spider body looked at the dozen or so buildings below and said in a cold voice:
"Sword Sect Yishuitai?"
His voice was like thunder, shaking the void.
"Today, I will make the Yishui Terrace shatter with one touch."
"For the sake of more than 20 cultivators from the Yishui Terrace of our Sword Sect, the headmaster of Huanling Sect, Zhuzhao, actually came in person. This shows that he thinks highly of our Sword Sect."
The voice of Taibai Sword Master was colder than the chill in the Yi River. Each word broke through the wind and exploded before it landed in front of the demon spider.
Soon, a figure walked out of the pavilion and rose into the air step by step.
A moment later, Master Taibai Sword was already staring at the demon spider from a distance.
He stared at the old man in purple and gold clothes who was standing on the demon spider.
That is Master Zhuzhao.
The three great masters of Huanling Sect are Zhuzhao, Taiyin and Changgeng.
Among them, Sect Leader Zhuzhao is the leader, whose strength has reached the ninth level of integration.
Although it is only one step into the Dao, it is the ninth realm after all.
This time, in order to break their Sword Sect's Yishui Platform, the Huanling Sect actually sent out Sect Leader Zhuzhao.
"Huh? Master Taibai Sword?" When Master Zhuzhao saw Master Taibai Sword appear, he was also surprised. Obviously, he couldn't figure out why he appeared here at this moment.
However, Master Zhuzhao, who was still immersed in the joy of finally waiting for the unprecedented change in the situation, did not have the energy to think too much about these meaningless things.
He said succinctly: "The other six peak masters of the Sword Sect are very strong. I am indeed no match for them, but Peak Master Haoran is also no match for me."
There was not much emotion in Master Zhuzhao's tone, no sarcasm or contempt, no outward show of strength but cowardice, he just stated the facts in the calmest way.
Master Taibai Sword did not respond, but just stood in the void and stretched out his right hand.
A black sword appeared with a clang and was held tightly in his hand.
Taibai Sword.
The tip of the sword was pointing directly at Master Zhuzhao, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Master Taibai Sword was very calm and looked at Master Zhuzhao calmly and composurely.
"Don't make any move yet, let me deal with him!" When Master Zhuzhao saw this scene, a strong fighting spirit and terrible murderous aura ignited in his body, and he shouted.
"You are only in the eighth realm, and you dare to act like this!"
Then he moved, letting out a long howl, causing the cold air to surge.
"Golden Roc Technique!"
Master Zhuzhao demonstrated his unique skills right from the start, which was also the Golden Peng Technique, one of the Ten Evil Techniques of Antiquity.
His entire body was blazing with golden light, emitting an incomparably dazzling brilliance, and thousands of terrifying golden rays of light shot out like flying knives.
The murderous aura was so overwhelming that the buildings on the ground below began to collapse, and smoke and dust rose up, which showed how strong the oppressive feeling was.
The golden divine light turned into a golden ocean, submerging everything like a storm, sweeping forward, trying to destroy all obstacles and releasing tremendous divine power.
This is one of the Ten Evil Techniques that Master Zhuzhao developed based on his pet, the Golden Peng. It is extremely powerful.
"what to do?"
Each ray of divine light was as terrifying as a flood, causing the other sword practitioners of the Sword Sect who were watching the battle on Yishuitai to feel chilled from head to toe.
The Ninth Realm is simply too powerful.
It is not impossible for the sword cultivators of their Sword Sect to cross the realm of nine and defeat the strong with the weak, but that must at least be done after they have passed the fifty-nine heavenly tribulations and reached the five tribulations realm.
This way.
The Taibai Sword Master's sleeves fluttered as he calmly faced the countless divine lights and took a step forward.
With this step, the Taibai sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the void around his body underwent some imperceptible changes.
Master Zhuzhao knew that Taibai Sword Master had already taken action to counter the attack, and his left eyebrow raised slightly.
The next moment, the golden divine light in the sky had completely submerged the Taibai Sword Master, and the void seemed to be shattered, let alone the physical body of a sword cultivator.
But Master Zhuzhao did not think he had won.
Because Taibai Sword Master's expression was too calm, he had a bad feeling.
As expected.
A moment later, a faint figure suddenly appeared in front of Master Zhuzhao.
It’s the Master of Taibai Sword.
He passed through the divine light in the sky unharmed.
Moreover, at this moment, the Taibai Sword in the hands of the Taibai Sword Master was lingering with unimaginable terrifying fluctuations.
The black sword slashed through the air.
"Just in time." Although Master Zhuzhao was shocked, he remained calm and laughed. A golden divine roc appeared between his brows, and a huge sky roc appeared behind him. Golden light shot up into the sky, and his cold eyes were frightening, like a ferocious god with murderous intent.
Tianpeng followed Master Zhuzhao's lead.
"Kill!" Master Zhuzhao shouted angrily, golden light flashed between his claws, and he grabbed towards Taibai Sword Master. Tianpeng behind him also followed his movements, and his golden claws wanted to tear the sky and the earth apart.
when!
The Taibai Sword collided with Tianpeng's golden claw, making a deafening sound.
The spectators all frowned due to the sound waves.
Bang!
Both of them retreated backwards.
It's just that the Taibai Sword Master retreated more than twenty feet, while the Zhuzhao Sect Master only retreated one step.
"It's really a genuine First Tribulation Realm cultivation." Sect Master Zhuzhao felt more and more relaxed, looking at the tear that had just appeared on the hem of Taibai Sword Master's green robe. Blood was seeping out from it, staining the collar red.
He couldn't help but grin, "Haoran Qi is very strong, but you are not strong."
The reason why Master Taibai Sword was able to escape from the ocean of golden divine light unscathed, and even relied on his eighth realm cultivation to fight head-on with Master Zhuzhao, was because of his Haoran Qi and Haoran Dharma Realm.
When Ji Chuan introduced the general situation of the Sword Sect to Lu Qingshan, he once said that among the seven peak masters of the Sword Sect, only his master, Peak Master Haoran, did not practice the killing sword intent.
This is extremely rare among sword practitioners.
But this is not because the Lord of Haoran Peak is not good at killing, or does not like killing.
It’s simply because Taibai Sword Master has no murderous intent in his body.
Only the great spirit.
The righteousness of God belongs only to him, the Master of Taibai Sword, and no one else can cultivate that energy.
The great and righteous energy is the sword art of Taibai Sword Master for three lifetimes.
"Your cultivation level is far inferior to mine." Master Zhuzhao said calmly with the joy of having won.
One catastrophe and one step become one with the Tao.
The gap is just enough to cover an entire realm.
Taibai Sword Master said thoughtfully: "You are right. It is true that my cultivation is a bit far behind."
Sect Master Zhu Zhao said, "You have just entered the eighth realm, but you were able to block several of my attacks. You are already extraordinary. If my Huanling Sect had been a little arrogant and only sent eighth realm cultivators to trouble your Jian Sect's Yishuitai, I'm afraid they would have suffered a heavy loss this time. But we have enough manpower, so the cultivators we sent to attack your six major sects' teleportation arrays this time are all ninth realm cultivators. From this point of view, opportunities are still reserved for those who are prepared. God has destined that Zhongling will be destroyed this time."
"Zhong Ling will never be destroyed because I am here and my Sword Sect is here." Taibai Sword Master shook his head.
His expression became solemn, and he said very seriously: "Although my cultivation is a little behind yours, it's not a big problem. Isn't it enough to just mention my cultivation?"
Having said this, he took a step forward.
"What does the destiny of heaven have to do with us sword cultivators ? We sword cultivators are not even in line with the way of heaven!"
As the sound fell, there was a dark storm between heaven and earth, with lightning and thunder.
In a single thought, the twenty-nine-day calamity comes.
