Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

One sword, two swords, three swords!

The Taiqing Flying Sword, revealing all its brilliance, displayed terrifying might on the battlefield, causing the opposing Xuanwu Substitute Daoist of the same rank to keep retreating.

The Six-legged Golden Cauldron loomed like a mountain, dazzlingly bright.

Gold light spread for several kilometers, the Indestructible Vajra, which could withstand the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of armor-piercing bullets without damage, now continuously tore apart under the strikes of the sword, piece by piece, falling to the ground to create deep pits, existing between substance and energy.

Ding ding ding!

The gold light couldn’t block, and neither could the Golden Cauldron, comparable to a top-grade magic treasure in its supreme magic tool form—it began to show a series of sword marks under the intersecting slashes of the Blue-gold Flying Sword, its spiritual light dimming persistently.

”At this rate, I will be defeated. It will be like what happened to Li Han!”

Xia Houding’s expression turned cold as he transmitted his Divine Sense.

”Kill!”

The twelve Army Formations, used to resist the artillery barrage and Great Star Attack, were set in motion.

Under the control of the twelve true disciples, twelve Winter Melon Golden Hammers, Square Sky Halberds, Golden Wheels, and more, all as large as houses, suddenly changed direction and stormed towards the young man in blue clothes in the sky.

”Despicable and shameless!”

Jiang Ding was somewhat annoyed.

He executed the Mana Technique, and mana burst forth, his body turning into a streak of grey-blue Sword-shaped Escape Light flying into the distance, narrowly evading in the nick of time.

Boom!

The twelve gigantic Army Formation weapons struck the void, splashing out a vast expanse of Spiritual Light, the terrifying sound waves spreading in every direction, the might being appalling.

”Pursue him!”

”Kill him, his defenses are far inferior to the Daoist’s!”

The twelve true disciples were overjoyed and controlled the massive blades to chase and kill.

”How dare you gang up on our Dari Swordsman from our household!”

Jin Chengkong erupted in great fury.

Swish, swish swish!

A fraction too late, a squadron of armor-piercing bullets whistled in, striking the twelve gigantic weapons, forcing them to repeatedly retreat.

But that wasn’t all.

In the sky, stars were twinkling, and then another eighteen great stars fell, their roaring sound shaking heaven and earth. This time the target wasn’t at all dispersed; every single one was aimed right at Xia Houding, who was fighting fiercely with the Six-legged Golden Cauldron and the Blue-Gold Flying Sword!

”Defend!”

Xia Houding, who had just caught a breath, felt his scalp tingle.

This was the attack of eighteen Middle Jindan Stage cultivators!

”We shall honor the Daoist’s orders!”

The true disciples of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace didn’t dare to be negligent, each performing the Mana Technique. The Army Formations shifted, and huge figures like the Tiger Demon phantom and the yellow giant roared furiously, working together with the thick gold light spread by the Six-legged Golden Cauldron and the gigantic weapons slashing towards the stars in the sky.

Boom!

The eighteen stars shattered amidst the onslaught, the dispersing Spiritual Light sweeping across all directions. The Tiger Demon Phantom, the Sticky Earth Giant Phantom, and other shapes formed by the Army Formations were also greatly shaken, their Spiritual Light dimming.

Clang!

A clang of a sword cry, and the Bluegold sword body that was fiercely battling the Six-legged Golden Cauldron disappeared, relieving it from the immense pressure it faced.

”Not good!”

Xia Houding’s expression changed as he controlled the Golden Cauldron, the heavy gold light spreading out, without any hesitation smashing towards the blue-clothed young man at the horizon.

”Too late.”

Jiang Ding glanced at the Six-legged Golden Cauldron in the distance and transformed into a sword-shaped Escape Light, retreating explosively.

Boom!

The Blue-Gold Flying Sword reappeared amidst a sonic boom, the intent to destroy Law and soul permeating the air.

”No!”

The true disciples controlling the twelve giant Army Formation weapons were in great terror. Mana poured out furiously, they set up a thick layer of gold light shield outside the Army Formation, and right in front of them were raised numerous supreme magic tool shields, with quite a few even exuding the aura of Magic Tool Embryos.

Swish!

The Blue-Gold Flying Sword pierced through; the Army Formation shield was as fragile as paper, and the supreme magic tools and Magic Tool Embryos were no stronger than tofu under the edge of the Law-Breaking Immortal Gold sword.

Before the Army Formation’s central true disciples could react, the Sword Light had already pierced through their foreheads, shattering the Divine Soul, and the thirty-six Foundation-building cultivators of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace around them met the same fate, unaware of when a faint blue Sword Qi had appeared on their foreheads.

Boom!

Absent control, the Golden Sword Battle Formation exploded violently, flesh and magic tool shards flying in all directions.

After one resounding boom, nearly simultaneous explosions followed; the other two Golden Pill Army Formations met the same fate.

The nine remaining true disciples of the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, once part of the encirclement, felt chills in their hearts, frantically working the giant Army Formation weapons to retreat, enveloped in sharp gold light, firmly guarded in front of them.

But then, a streak of Blue-Gold Sword Light disappeared into thin air amidst the sound of the blast.

Ding!

When it reappeared, it struck the Six-legged Golden Cauldron, which was about to smash the blue-clothed young man into a pulp, leaving a deep wound and forcing it to retreat.

Sword Qi erupted, and the thick gold light spreading around was sliced apart, losing the ability to limit the opponent’s movement.

Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!

Over eighty thousand armor-piercing bullets roared in the next moment, striking the mountain-like Six-legged Golden Cauldron and scattering its gold light, forcing it to retreat several steps once more.

In just a few breaths, nine third-rank army formations of Xuanwu tiangong collapsed, and now there were finally enough reserves to support this crucial battlefield.

”Damn it!”

Xia Houding’s face turned pale.

Merely facing a single Dari Swordsman had already brought him tremendous pressure, with the situation deteriorating every moment.

Now, with these eighty thousand plus armor-piercing bullets added to the mix, a cold premonition of death rose in his heart.

”Retreat!”

”Leave this place quickly!”

He exclaimed angrily.

The advantage the enemy had at the site of the Star Boundary Formation was too great!

Moreover, he knew all too well that not far from there, a large tank army was rapidly approaching. Once it came within the thirty-kilometer range of bullet interference, the situation that was being barely held together would collapse in an instant, causing innumerable deaths and injuries.

Without these disciples around him, as a single individual...

Xia Houding dared not imagine just how ghastly the scene could become.

”Yes, Taoist disciple!”

The surrounding Foundation-building cultivators of Xuanwu tiangong also sensed the impending doom, ceased their attacks while maintaining their defense, and formed a battle formation to retreat into the distance.

When Foundation-building cultivators made a desperate effort, their speed was extremely fast, and in no time, they crossed tens of kilometers, about to escape the fifty-kilometer attack range of the Star Boundary Formation.

”Retreating?”

Jiang Ding’s expression turned cold.

”Then die.”

He unhesitatingly gave up on pursuing Xia Houding for the moment, pointed with his hand, and the Taiqing Flying Sword disappeared within the array patterns of the Magnetic Field Spirit Power Gathering Formation.

”Xia Houding, save me!”

The True Disciple controlling the Square Sky Halberd battle formation’s giant was terrified. While frantically increasing the shield offered by the formation method, he hurriedly activated the Square Sky Halberd giant, smashing it towards the sky with mighty force, its power as substantial as that of an Immortal Jin Dan.

Clang!

The Blue-Gold Sword body arrived.

The Square Sky Halberd giant was shattered, the formation method shield was broken, and nothing could stop it for even a fraction of a second, piercing through an Embryo Bead of a Magic Tool Embryo and entering the True Disciple’s brow.

Boom!

Another third-rank army formation shattered, the True Disciple died along with his thirty-six Foundation-building cultivators under his command, causing a shudder in the hearts of the other Xuanwu tiangong cultivators.

Whoosh!

The Blue-Gold Sword body didn’t pause for a moment, killing into another Golden Light Ax battle formation. Instantly, the axe shattered, the True Disciple died, and thirty-six Foundation-building cultivators were part of the sacrificial death, all without suspense.

But this was far from the end!

”Stop!”

Xia Houding couldn’t just stand by.

These were his trusted subordinates from the Golden Light Palace, the wings he would borrow for his ascension!

The Six-legged Golden Cauldron suddenly enlarged, attempting to intercept.

Rumble!

In the sky, three hundred and sixty-five stars shook, and again, eighteen stars fell in rapid succession, their howling sound drowning out the other noisy explosions on the battlefield.

The target,

Was only him!

”Defense!”

Xia Houding’s expression changed, not daring to obstruct any longer. Instead, he threatened with Spirit Soul Restrictions, readjusting other direction’s battle formations to strike at the high sky.

Rumble!

A massive explosion sounded; stars and Magic Glyphs scattered in every direction.

A streak of Blue-Gold Sword Light, unimpeded, flashed and jumped within the third-rank Army Formation, each appearance inevitably resulting in the death of a True Disciple, with Golden Pill battle formations detonating in sacrifice, thunderous sounds unceasing.

In just two short breaths,

Fifteen True Disciples and their command of Foundation-building cultivators were annihilated, their body fragments and blood covering the ground.

”Damn it!”

Xia Houding’s eyes nearly burst, but he dared not delay any longer, he erupted in mana, leading the cultivators around him in a desperate race for their lives.

They finally escaped the range of the fifty-kilometer Star Boundary Formation in a perilously close escape.

A streak of Blue-Gold Sword Light followed in hot pursuit.

Just as it was about to cut down another True Disciple and a Golden Pill battle formation, the Sword Light hesitated for a moment, looking towards the numerous envious green glares coming from Xia Houding and the twenty-three Golden Pill powers around him.

It seemed somewhat embarrassed and quickly retracted back into the range of the Star Boundary Formation.
