537 One Grade-9 Sword (1/2)
In the drill field of the mountain peak, people spoke over one another chaotically, all filled with a maniacal aura.
Ling Weizi closed his eyes tightly. A moment later, he had managed to calm himself back down.
The death of four hundred Cloud Dragon Iron Swordsmen had nearly made him fall unconscious from rage. However, he was a little stronger than Wuyue, and he was able to forcefully swallow that frustration.
”Enough, shut up!”
At first, the many cultivators on the peak carried on without any reaction. When he spat out the words a second time, Ling Weizi used his true qi. It shook their eardrums painfully, and the hall fell silent.
”Even without Dao soldiers, we still have the tens of thousands of cultivators from the various sects. What are you afraid of? Even without Dao soldiers, we can rely on our elite disciples with the Mysterious Cloud Mountain Protecting Formation. Why can't battle against this Blood Cloud Cavalry?”
His words made everyone calm down, and his eyes coldly swept the hall.
”The method Common People Path used against the Blood Cloud Cavalry in the past was not bad, and we have no choice but to try it. Based on what I know, ten thousand years ago, the Common People Path was heavily disadvantaged. They lacked grade-6 spirit masters, which was why they attacked the fewer than three hundred members of the Blood Cloud Cavalry. Weaknesses are still weaknesses, the only difference is that there are more of them and it will be a little tougher. We have enough spirit masters. Zong Shou's Blood Cloud Cavalry only number four thousand, it will be easy to break them!
Just as he spoke those words, Yuankong saw Zong Shou draw his bowstring once more beneath the mountain. He was aiming at the two hundred Mysterious Cloud Lightning Warriors.
He couldn't suppress his despair anymore, and fresh blood seeped out of his mouth. He knew that without those two hundred Dao soldiers who were thirty thousand feet away from the mountain, they had no hope of surviving.
His face filled with dejection, Yuankong waved his hand, saying flatly, ”Send the order! Gather two thousand disciples to lay out the Pinnacle Lightning Sky Formation!”
Han Nishui was stunned, his pupils constricting. ”But Master, the Pinnacle Lightning Sky Formation uses the essence in the body. After using it...”
Yuankong shook his head and stopped Han Nishui from continuing. ”We have no choice. If we can't wipe the Blood Cloud Cavalry out, our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect will have no future!”
Han Nishui walked away speechless. Then, he realised that the entire top of the Mysterious Cloud Mountain was filled with panic. People had been thrown into despair by Yuankong's words.
How had this happened?
Shouldn't it be them cutting Zong Shou's forces down with the might of Mysterious Cloud? And hadn't he planned to marry Xuanyuan Yiren in front of Zong Shou to humiliate him, before Knife Lord Li Wuhui beheaded him in one stroke?
How did it became like this? Was he going to lose to this person once more?
... No, that was impossible!
Han Nishui gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with madness.
If this was really the case, then even if he died, he would drag this person into the netherworld with him!

”Draw your bows. Fire!”
Another four thousand-odd blood-colored meteors rose from the ground and filled the sky. When a blood arrow exploded out, just as with the Daoling wind warriors, only blood and meat remained.
After this volley, the twelve hundred Dao soldiers were cleared out.
Where the iron hooves landed, not only were hundreds of thousands of elite cavalrymen destroyed, millions of elites from the Thousand City Alliance were swept aside.
Within ten thousand feet, all the soldiers who were unable to escape died tragic deaths. A mass of essence energy and vital energy gathered together, and funneled into the blood mist.
The three million-odd troops remaining were collapsing out of formation and fleeing in all directions.
These soldiers were indeed elite troops, but their opponents weren't on the same level.
The thousands of Blood Cavalry advanced under Zong Shou's charge, their eyes shining red like there were flames burning in their sockets.
... Their fighting intent raged higher and higher, thoughts of slaughter becoming all-encompassing in their minds.
Even Zong Shou's thoughts were affected by the Blood Cavalry Kill Heart Sutra.
Kill! Only by massacring living beings could he be satisfied!
Luckily, he was still able to reign in these thoughts.
His brows suddenly rose as he looked into the sky, only to see hundreds of grade-6 spirit masters protected by many grade-6 and grade-7 martial cultivators descending, now three thousand feet from the ground.
Following which, the entire area began to freeze. Even the blood mist was affected. Although it could still be used, it became more difficult as it started to freeze.
In the next instant, strange spiritual energy fluctuations reverberated across the battlefield.
Zong Shou was first startled, but when he felt that a portion of the spiritual formation within his Blood Cloud Cavalry armor was shaking, he broke into a laugh.
”Spirit Awakening Technique? So that is what you are up to!”
This wasn't the reason that Kongqi Sect hadn't sold the thousands of sets of Blood Cloud Cavalry armor even after repairing them. The weakness of the invincible iron cavalry was something that many knew about.
How unfortunate, that the solution was already in his hands.
”Sky Stepping, rise!”
His grade-6 dragon-horned winged horses neighed, and rose into the air, stepping on the wind as they moved forwards.
The entire cavalry force followed closely behind, and all four thousand two hundred and fifty-two halberds slashed down together.
Where the sword light passed, all the spirit masters in its way were cut horizontally. The bodies of the remaining spirit masters were trampled into pieces by the dragon-horned winged horses.
In that instant, the hall on Mysterious Cloud Mountain fell deathly silence once more.
Ling Weizi's eyes were about to pop out in rage. His fists were tightly clenched, and his expression was filled with shock.
