Chapter 574 Entering the City (1/2)

However, not long after that, they saw the Skysoar Warship getting caught in a magic array. Knowing that it was a trap that Heartless Heaven Sect had set up before hand, they all swore loudly. However, there was nothing they could do to help. Several of the cultivators, in commander garbs, had wanted to charge out. However, they were stopped by the others. Only two managed to charge out from the walls in the end and they flew towards the Skysoar Warship. Unfortunately, they were quickly surrounded by tens of cultivators from Heartless Heaven Sect, who proceeded to utterly obliterate the two, body and soul.

By then, Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling had already broken free from the devilish aura ensnaring them. Immediately, they mobilized the various attacks of the Skysoar Warship as they attempted to smash their way out. However, the sudden attack earlier had damaged the warship significantly. Additionally, the power consumption of the Skysoar Warship was too high. The two sisters gave it their all and big drops of sweat filled their faces. Despite all that, they were unable to do much.

As for Chen Feng, all the flames he fired out had seemingly fallen into a lake. They were incapable of creating even a ripple before getting extinguished. Noticing the unfavourable situation, Chen Feng then waved his hand and a pile of spirit stones, over 10,000 of them, erupted within the warship. The resulting streams of spiritual energy swirled about vigorously and the two sisters immediately displayed their magic techniques to absorb all the streams of spiritual energy in a flash. Next, the Skysoar Warship’s power began rising up. Chen Feng had obtained those spirit stones from the pocket dimension in the Starsea Region. They were of a very high grade. If it weren’t for the urgency of their situation, Chen Feng would not have used them in such a manner. At any rate, Chen Feng could cultivate himself on his own for quite some time even without the use of spirit stones.

“The one who initiated the sneak attack earlier is most likely a half-step Human Immortal. The magic treasure used is also a Sacred artefact. If the attacker had been a Human Immortal, the attack would have broken this Skysoar Warship into pieces. Looks like staying here is not an option. We need to charge out. Think of a way to enter the city,” Chen Feng said, leaving another pile of spirit stones before leaping outside the warship.

Seeing Chen Feng leave the warship, Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling were taken aback. They wanted to stop Chen Feng, but were too late. Next, they considered it. Since Chen Feng had decided to go out, he must have a plan and a certain level of confidence. Thus, they decided not to dwell too much on it and instead focused on controlling the Skysoar Warship to charge out.

Chen Feng had only just stepped out when a black shroud enveloped him. At the same time, bolts of lightning flashed, streaking towards Chen Feng.

I have cultivated the power of darkness, opened the Dark acupoint and even cultivated the Magic Eyes of Darkness. These minor tricks cannot stop me. Chen Feng walked through the darkness as though there was nothing there. Wielding the Death Sword, he kept breaking the various wind and lightning attacks coming from his surroundings. Just as he was about to break open the black shroud, a large staff descended from the sky again. However, it was not attacking Chen Feng. Instead, it was aimed at the Skysoar Warship. It would appear that the attacker wanted to take down the Skysoar Warship with one hit.

Naturally, Chen Feng could not allow the attack to succeed. The energy streams surging all around him shook as he strode forward, breaking the black shroud to slash at the staff using the Death Sword.

Boom!

Another booming sound rang out and half of Chen Feng’s body went numb. Even the Death Sword was sent flying by the collision. However, he did manage to knock the staff off course and it failed to hit the Skysoar Warship.

Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling seized the opportunity. They controlled the Skysoar Warship to unleash over 100 sword beams to finally break out from the black shroud. Light flashed before Chen Feng’s eyes and the surrounding darkness disappeared.

“The magic array is broken.” With a thought from Chen Feng, the Death Sword flew into his hand once again.

“Die!”

Chen Feng had yet to get rid of the feeling of numbness plaguing his body when a lean and vigorous-looking cultivator charged towards Chen Feng, wielding a great staff that looked completely disproportionate to his body shape.

Humph! Although this fellow is formidable, it is impossible for him to kill me. Chen Feng sneered inwardly and his figure rapidly plummeted down. Like a meteor smashing down the ground, Chen Feng landed upon a team of cultivators from Heartless Heaven Sect. As he did not slow down before landing on the ground, Chen Feng ended up creating a deep and sizable crater as he smashed into the ground. The surrounding cultivators cried out wretchedly as they were sent flying. Due to the shockwaves, the 100-man team utterly collapsed.

Rumble!

The staff smashed the ground once again and the lands cracked. Several of the cracks spread quickly into the distance. One crack spread all the way to the grounds beneath Azuresieve City’s walls, causing a good portion of the wall there to collapse, falling into the crack.

“Chen Feng is fine, right?” By then, under Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling’s control, the Skysoar Warship had arrived beside the city wall. The city defenders received the two sisters’ vocal transmission and saw that it was indeed a warship belonging to their sect. Thus, they quickly opened the barrier to allow the warship to enter.

The two sisters kept the Skysoar Warship and stood on the city wall. Their faces were solemn as they observed the spiderweb-like cracks on the ground outside the city. They were especially paying extra attention to the deep crater created by the staff attack earlier.

“It’s Liu Yuan. Surprisingly, that fellow came to attack Azuresieve City as well. Looks like Heartless Heaven Sect really wants this city,” Jian Qingwu said grimly.

“Junior sisters, how did you two end up coming here?” Tie Jian, wielding his broad sword, landed before them.

“Senior Brother Tie Jian, you are all right?” Jian Qingling exclaimed, a pleasant look of surprise on her face. Tie Jian was a half-step Human Immortal. He would prove very useful in their present situation. He was something of a main powerhouse in this battle.

“A minor wound. This time, the enemy have way more men than us. Additionally, there are also half-step Human Immortals that have yet to take action, hiding in the dark. At present, we are only relying on the defensive magic arrays and barriers of the city to stop the enemy. Should the magic arrays fall, not even having double the number of defenders will prove useful.” Although Tie Jian’s face remained calm, there was a note of anxiousness in his voice. Clearly, he understood that things were not looking good.

“Chen Feng is all right!” Jian Qingling suddenly said.

By then, Chen Feng had already emerged from the ground and was in the midst of flying towards the city. Originally, Chen Feng had wanted to dig his way into the city. However, he found that there were restrictive barriers everywhere. While he was capable of breaking his way through, it was troublesome. Not to mention, doing that would affect the great magic arrays protecting Azuresieve City somewhat.
