Chapter 805 - Hole-In-One (1/2)

When w.a.n.g Lu sent the Nine-Tailed Fox to the Central Region to suppress the internal strife, he had two considerations.

First, he had other arrangements.

The frontline situation in the crack in the sky was already precarious. Since they lost contact with w.a.n.g Wu, Senior Gem Emperor led a group of Earth Immortals to the scene as soon as possible, and formed a solid line of defense–this was an emergency strategy that had been determined long ago. However, this so-called emergency strategy could not be sustained. The line of defense of Senior Gem Emperor could only persist for a period of time before it crumbled under the constant impact of the servant army. Once the line of defense was broken, the situation in Nine Regions would be extremely critical. At this time, w.a.n.g Lu was the only one who was qualified to go to the front line to support and turn the table around.

Second, the work at Heavenly Sage Hall was dirty work. If possible, w.a.n.g Lu didn’t want to do it by himself.

To clean up the situation by ruthless means meant that it was inevitable to bring about killing. And those who could speak in the Heavenly Sage Hall were probably key members of some large sects and organizations… As the number one person in Nine Regions, w.a.n.g Lu didn’t want to become one who is cut off from others so early. The war with the Fallen Immortal was a long war, and there were still many tasks in the future that depended on his personal reputation. Thus, it wasn’t worthwhile to be a tyrant too early.

“Fox, show me what you got.”

——

After he gave the last sentence, w.a.n.g Lu walked on the wasteland for another period of time while he sorted out the next overall plan. After he confirmed that it was correct, w.a.n.g Lu stomped his feet, which cracked and softened the wasteland around him in about fifty-kilometer radius, and used the recoil force to soar into the sky.

The wind in the astral wind layer in the ninth sky was like a knife. The higher the alt.i.tude, the sharper the wind blade. w.a.n.g Lu went all the way up and didn’t know how far he went into the astral wind layer. Until the ground under his feet had become dark and invisible, and the friction between the astral wind and the body began to produce incandescent heat, his momentum finally stopped.

w.a.n.g Lu tried to breathe gently, but found that the strong wind around him had formed a great pressure and he could not even breathe out a single breath. It was also fortunate that his synchronization rate with the giant Divine Weapon has reached a certain level at this time, otherwise, he would’ve been blown into pieces of bones and flesh.

In the past few hundred years, it was likely that no one had ever reached such a high place.

Therefore, no one else could fall from such a high alt.i.tude and acc.u.mulate endless impact force.

w.a.n.g Lu turned his body around in the astral wind, with his head down and feet up, and then fell down like a meteor. Like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter, nothing could hinder him. Along the way, the fierce astral wind was dragged down by w.a.n.g Lu. Like a traveler who found a guide, they followed behind w.a.n.g Lu, whistling and screaming. Not long after, there were hundreds of millions of swords formed by the astral wind behind w.a.n.g Lu, just like the army of a king.

w.a.n.g Lu fell faster and faster, and soon broke through the darkness of the astral wind layer, penetrated through the thick clouds, and saw the ugly crack in the sky above the vast wildland of Blue River Region. Then he saw the army of servants coming from the Immortal World, and the blood-soaked bravely-fighting Senior Gem Emperor …

——

At the same time, the defense line at the crack in the sky was on the verge of collapse.

From the time when w.a.n.g Wu went missing in action to the present, Senior Gem Emperor had led her team to guard the defense line for only half a day, but the defense line has been in crisis several times. They all relied on bravery with no thought of personal safety of the Earth Immortals before they were able to resist those ferocious servant soldiers.

The process was really hard beyond imagination. The Earth Immortals initially thought that since they had fought head-on with the immortals of the Immortal World, it should be easy to resist the opponents that mainly consisted of servant soldiers. However, they soon discovered that those servant soldiers of various appearances possessed extremely tyrannical combat power. Most of the individual strengths surpa.s.sed the level of Supreme of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, comparable to Mahayana Stage cultivators, and comparable to ordinary Earth Immortals. However, Senior Gem Emperor’s team only consisted of thirty to forty people, while the opponents were ten times as many.

These servants were driven by the immortals to fight in all directions, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly. On the other hand, the team brought by Senior Gem Emperor was somewhat of a mob. Among them, many were Earth Immortals that had almost no actual combat experience. In the previous war against the Fallen Immortal, they were logistic personnel. But now, they were forced to take part in the war. Their combat efficiency is completely incomparable with the army of servants.”

If it weren’t for the specific circ.u.mstances of this war, where one person that guard at the end of the pa.s.sage could hold on many people, Senior Gem Emperor and the others wouldn’t have been able to hold on for this long. Compared to this, it was indeed awe-inspiring for w.a.n.g Wu to be able to block the army of the Immortal World for several days alone. Unfortunately, they had no time to revere w.a.n.g Wu, because they were already powerless to defend themselves.

After countless times of tearing, the defense line was finally torn open. Lu Biechen, who was in charge of the array, used the immortal arithmetic too frequently and he was temporarily unable to sustain his immortal spirit output, causing his primordial spirit to faint. As he was the node of the array, the network composed of five Earth Immortals immediately went into a standstill.

A few strange beasts that were completely dark and shaped like giant snakes spotted the flaw, and immediately rushed forward. The body protection skills that the Earth Immortals hastily erected were broken by them and could not be stopped at all. When Senior Gem Emperor arrived, Lu Biechen’s head and limbs had already been caught by those strange beasts. Then, with a fierce force, his body suddenly split into pieces, such that even his primordial spirit could not escape.
