Chapter 865 - A Powerful Entrance! (2/2)
As a result, the right-hand elder had no idea that his sect lord and the left-hand elder had failed. He thought that the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect would have fallen at this point and that his sect lord and the left-hand elder would be on their way as planned.
He wasn’t the only one thinking about reinforcements. The patriarch of the Violet Gold New Dao Sect was equally anxious. He had been waiting for reinforcements from the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. They were his only hope. There was no other way out for him. From the beginning of this battle, the enemy’s only aim had been to corner them. The chances of him escaping on his own were close to zero.
The only way was to battle to the death. Even if the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect couldn’t defeat the invading forces, he had to gamble on the possibility of them being able to force a stalemate. If they could do that, then he was confident that the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder would choose to end their battle in a truce after both he and his troops were exhausted.
This was a contest that pitted their reinforcements and their endurance against each other. It was a contest that tested their endurance and their ability to outlast the other side. One might imagine how terrible a state they were going to end up in.
Thunderous explosions, furious howls, and pained screams pierced the air ceaselessly. Suddenly, light appeared in the distant cosmos. It was faint at first, but it intensified in the next moment. It looked like numerous shooting stars approaching. Everyone on the battlefield was visibly affected when they sensed their arrival.
There was no need for a closer look. The Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder could tell immediately that they weren’t reinforcements from the Heavenly Spirit Sect. His face turned stormy. The Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch looked the complete opposite. Agitation was clear in his eyes. Amidst his excitement, waves of intense spirit energy surged across the cosmos as the shooting stars approached and rushed onto the battlefield!
These shooting stars were Wang Baole’s fleet of self-destructing battleships and the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s first legion. They sliced through the cosmos like blades, gliding across the dark space and sliding straight into the fight like battle-ready swords. Numerous cultivators from the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s first legion, Wang Baole’s hundred thousand puppets, and his twelve puppet emperors rushed out of their battleships and charged at the Heavenly Spirit Sect under the butler’s command!
The Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s butler immediately unleashed his cultivation when he stepped out of his battleship, and his voice reverberated throughout the battlefield.
“The Heavenly Spirit Sect’s left-hand elder has been slain, and their sect lord has been heavily wounded. Their armies have been decimated, with countless killed or forced to flee. The Divine Sovereign Justice Sect has won a triumphant victory. On the orders of our patriarch, we have come in aid of the Violet Gold New Dao Sect!”
The arrival of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect sent emotions rippling across the faces of the Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators, who had been exhausted from a long battle. Their minds began to buzz loudly. Their first reaction was absolute denial. What the butler had just said was impossible. But… the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect was there. Their arrival could only mean one thing. The forces invading the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect had fallen.
Such unsettling of hearts and minds on a battlefield was a terrifying thing. Even the right-hand elder was similarly affected. However, he quickly squashed whatever fears he felt and yelled.
“Nonsense, the fiends from the Violet Gold New Dao Sect have carved a small army from their main forces and are trying to use this small force to deceive and confuse us!” The right-hand elder unleashed his cultivation as he roared, stemming his army’s panic forcefully while charging at the butler and attempting to slay the latter at all costs. He froze in his tracks when he heard the long burst of laughter from the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch.
Wang Baole had stirred and flown out of his Dharmic Battleship. He gazed at the battlefield from afar, raised his right hand, and pointed casually. A burst of wind erupted from his finger and shot out, landing some distance from him, in the middle of two Spirit Immortal realm cultivators in the midst of battle.
The Spirit Immortal realm cultivator from the Violet Gold New Dao Sect was someone Wang Baole recognized. He was the Black Rift Legion commander who had taken the former Ink Dragon Legion commander under his wing and tried to kill Wang Baole. He was in a dangerous spot now and might not survive the next few seconds.
Wang Baole’s attack, bolstered by his rich reservoirs of cultivation, came blasting their way. The early-stage Spirit Immortal realm cultivator from the Heavenly Spirit Sect turned pale with alarm and retreated hastily. Nevertheless, he was still caught by the attack and spat out a mouthful of blood in his retreat. The Black Rift Legion commander’s face was pale too. He fell back immediately and turned towards his savior, shuddering and widening his eyes when he saw Wang Baole. His face was filled with incredulity.
Wang Baole ignored the Black Rift Legion commander. Saving him had been a matter of convenience. He looked up into the cosmos and stared at the two Planet realm cultivators in fierce battle. His eyes narrowed.
He had thought about things carefully on his way there. He had come to the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s aid purely for strategic purposes. However, he still disliked them. That was why he had decided that he was going to find an opportunity to make a killing off them during this rescue mission.
