Above Lihe City’s city walls, Ning Baichuan, Wang Daoyuan, and the Clearwater Hall’s Hall Master were all keeping a close watch on the battle situation. All sorts of contemplating expressions kept on flashing non-stop in their eyes.
Ning Baichuan thought to himself, ‘Although the imperial court is showing signs of resurgence, they’ve been in a weakened state for a very long time, and the young Emperor has a great liking for achieving extraordinary things. He thought that he’d be able to take back the world just by sending Marie to conquer the south, but he has taken too great a stride.
‘The imperial court is doomed to fail in this battle. The right thing to do is to still join an influence that has Tiangang Realm experts.’
This battle had provoked Ning Baichuan too much. He had an army of several ten thousand soldiers under him and thought that he was also considered one of the feudal vassals in the world. However, it was only after the 13 Tiangang Realm experts appeared in succession that he realized how weak he was.
Before such people who could fight against several hundred thousand Xiantian Realm cultivators, any schemes or plots were useless.
Just as Ning Baichuan was thinking about the current situation, a stream of Gang Qi descended onto the battlefield from beyond the heavens. Another Tiangang Realm expert’s aura rose up.
At the next moment, one of the 12 streams of Tiangang Qis—that had appeared concurrently earlier on—disappeared.
“What happened?” Ning Baichuan’s expression was that of surprise. Each Tian Yi expert was a legend in the pugilistic world, and no matter how many people surrounded and attacked them, it was impossible for them to die so quickly in battle.
However, at the next moment, something that made him even more astonished occurred. The remaining 11 Tiangang Realm experts’ auras had started to flee. Even Nong Buyi, who had been fighting with Eunuch Wang earlier on, also felt that the situation seemed bad and immediately started retreating.
The three people on the city wall were shocked and bewildered. They then saw a great tempest suddenly brew in the sky above the battlefield. It was because the shock waves formed in the air from Zhao Yinglan’s high-speed movements had crashed, scattering the allied forces’ military formation and causing countless Xiantian Realm experts to keep on getting pushed back.
The even more horrifying thing was that as the tempest blew, there seemed to be an additional invisible soul on the battlefield. As the series of strong gales blew, black shadows flashed, and the auras from the Tiangang Realm experts kept on reducing.
Ten… nine… seven… four… three…
In the blink of an eye, many Tiangang Realm experts were killed like pigs and chickens getting slaughtered. Till now, the people present had not been able to see what the appearance of the attacker looked like. They could only vaguely sense the Tiangang Realm experts’ auras reduce continuously, and a small number of people were able to see the corpse fragments plunging down from midair.
Clearwater Hall’s Hall Master looked at the battlefield in disbelief, “What happened? What on earth happened?”
He, Ning Baichuan, and Wang Daoyuan were unable to understand or comprehend the situation.
At the next moment, a figure darted before them at lightning speed. That person wore yellow robes and had his hair tied up in a bun. He was the Yellow Sect’s Patriarch, a legend in the pugilistic world and a Tiangang Realm expert.
Even the Clearwater Hall’s Hall Master was taken by surprise when he saw the Yellow Sect’s Patriarch. Right now, the Yellow Sect’s Patriarch no longer had his usual celestial flair and calm disposition. Instead, he appeared crestfallen and horrified like he was being chased by something terrifying.
