Chapter 443: Disasterous Defeat

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Not only did the speed of the knife light exceed the visual abilities of everyone, but even the spiritual senses of the grade 7 experts could only feel a small shadow. They didn’t know what it was.

The few white lights flashed across in an instance. Then it was kept right back into Zong Shou’s sleeves.

When Yuan Jiuchen’s head was tossed up, he didn’t know that he had died. It wasn’t until he made several flips in the air and saw his headless body, did panic and despair appear in his eyes.

Then, the head landed on the ground and it was instantly stepped into meat paste by the thousands of horse hooves.

Ji Lingzi, on the side, hollered out, his tone filled with disbelief.

That was the Xuan iron wenshan armor! A grade 8 spiritual artifact that could be compared to a magical treasure! How was it broken so easily?

He knew that Tanqiu grasped the extreme of sword sense, and when the iron cavalry crossed swords his strength would be inconceivable. It was why Yuan Jiuchen and he were equipped with such heavy treasures of the sect.

However, what were those few streaks of white light? How was it able to slay Xuan iron wenshan armor so easily? How was that possible?

A scornful expression flashed across Zong Shou’s eyes before it turned back to normal.

The large sword in his hand waved out once more. It sliced down from the empty spot that Yuan Jiuchen’s death had opened up.

Just at this moment, Zong Shou finally felt a huge intent suddenly descend from the distance to try to break within the illusionary formation.

It was vast and billowing, filled with a bit of anxiousness, wanting to tear apart this small space.

His eyes squinted before Zong Shou laughed.

Only it was already too late!

20 years ago, how many heroes from common people path die to the Tailing Sect?

Even if he was willing to let go of these people, the 900 common people path disciples behind him weren’t willing!

He wanted to use these 1600 heads to answer to the fallen spirits!

Resisting the pressure from that intent, the sword light slashed down and directly beheaded one ascended expert who was caught off guard!

Zong Shou’s body brushed past Ji Lingzi who was filled with despair. Like a treasure sword, heading right into the purple cloud sword cavalry formation!

The giant red sword in his hand waved down once more, extremely dazzling and eye-catching. When that sword light passed, the sword was broken and armor was cracked, causing a large patch of blood and meat to fly about.

The blades crossed one another and gave out a series of metal clanging noises. Numerous sparks shot all about along with the raging energy in the area.

Sword and sword slashed down, armor and armor colliding. The moment that both cavalry forces intersected was like 2 metallic waves striking at one spot. It was all filled with sounds of silver scale wind stepping beasts and purple winged lizards crying out.

This time, 900 giant red swords were waved in an orderly manner, as thick and heavy as a mountain. It seemed like they were a single body.

Every time they slashed down, it was the ear-piercing metal clanging sound! 900 sword lights sliced down several times before they slashed the thousand over purple cloud sword cavalry into 2 pieces!

When both cavalry armies crossed one another, the ground was covered with close to 900 corpses. All of their shirts and armors were broken. Their bodies were incomplete. There were also some purple winged lizards and silver scale wind stepping beasts that were still alive and giving out tragic cries. The eye-piercing blood pretty much died a small piece of the ground red.

860 of them belonged to the purple cloud sword cavalry of Tailing Sect.

There were 40 on the side of common people’s path.

When the cavalry force did a beautiful change of direction, Zong Shou silently looked at the corpses.

During this battle, he was still unable to ensure that all his subjects survived.

However, these 40 people should be the final sacrifices.

The tens of common people path disciples behind him had blood-red eyes.

The ones who died just now where all common people path mysterious dragon warriors. These sect dao soldiers died mainly to block swords for them!

They were also clear about the reason behind that. With the common people mysterious dragon warriors, half of the dao soldier’s potentials have been used up, unable to break through any more. Whilst their futures were limitless and they could advance—grade 7 or grade 8, even stepping into the celestial path…

This was why it made them feel emotional. Their insides were in flames!

They were guilty and also furious. Moreover, they felt heavy pressure on their shoulders.

In this life, if they had no achievements, how would they answer for the deaths of these fellow disciples? If they didn’t kill one or two more Tailing Sect disciples, how could they answer to their spirits in heaven?

Opposite them, those remaining 800 purple armored cavalry didn’t have any courage to turn around to fight. They crazily dashed towards the other exit of the Black Spirit Canyon.

Zong Shou wasn’t anxious, managing and tidying up the galloping cavalry formation at an adequate pace.

At this moment, Ji Lingzi’s expression was extremely ugly. Just now, when he saw the Han King forces retreat, he finally knew what the use of the wuxiang confusion formation.

Not only could it prevent the sect experts from reaching in with their spiritual sense, but it could also form illusions in their eyes.

…They saw the illusions, so did the purple winged lizards under them!

Before this, when the cavalry clashed for the first time he didn’t feel much, but now he could notice an abnormality in their footsteps.

It was a vast flat land in front of them but for some reason, there would be protrusions appearing. Or rather a piece of mountain rock appearing in front of their eyes. Sometimes the effects were opposite, hiding some items such that they couldn’t sense anything.

It caused the speed of the entire cavalry force to be unable to rise to the maximum. On the contrary, the mysterious dragon warriors behind were getting closer and closer!

If this went on, they would be caught up to sooner or later! These common people mysterious dragon warriors would kill them from behind!

He roared out unwillingly, turning around. The entire cavalry force also completed an inconceivable turn of direction in that instance.

However, at this moment, those 850 red cavalry were in front of their eyes. The sword light transformed into a dragon as it smashed their formation into pieces!

850 giant red swords were raised in an orderly manner and then slashed down in an orderly manner. After a series of ear-piercing metal cutting metal sounds, blood and meat scattered all over! Numerous broken armor shrapnels shot out all over.

When this 850 red iron cavalry once again stepped across hundreds of blood-red corpses, none of them fell.

As for Tailing Sect disciples, only 200 of them remained! A large half of them already had injured mounts.

Zong Shou slowed down the speed of the grade 5 silver scale wind stepping beast under him, Then, he turned around with a cold expression on his face.

At this moment, that intent from the sky became much more frenzied and anxious. When that intent landed on this space, it was blocked out by another intent which was even stronger than it, causing it to be unable to succeed.

However, the ripples from the intent would sometimes seep into the people within the formation, making them feel a chill down their spine.

Zong Shou didn’t care at all. Once again, he raised the giant sword in his hand, pointing towards the remaining Tailing Sect disciples as well as Ji Lingzi who was still alive.

“…If the few of you are willing to put down your weapons and swear to leave Tailing Sect today, then I, Tanqiu, can let you all live!”

Ji Lingzi only felt an unusual depressed feeling in his heart, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

What a bully! He had said those words previously and now Tanqiu changed a few words to say it back to him!

However, at that time, he was filled with confidence to win. At this moment, he was as terrified as a dog that had lost its home!

※※※※

In the sky, there were several explosive noises and numerous lightning glows flashing.

Fangwen and Hanfang couldn’t hide in the void fissures. Along with Shi Ruolan, they returned to the cloud world.

“I think that Qiuyun is about to go crazy.”

Fangwen looked into the distance, only to see dark clouds covering ahead of him, unable to see clearly. However, to him, it wasn’t much of a difficult matter.

The place where Hanfang and Qiuyun were fighting at was within the dense thunder clouds, continuously exploding and ringing, each time more frenzied than the last—each aura stronger than the last.

In the few short engagements, it caused that small space to show signs of falling apart. Each time it would stir up the clouds and shock the land.

Amongst which, there were mysteries that he couldn’t grasp, making him sigh in awe.

Based on what he knew, Hanfang was a peak god realm expert. Today he was still at the grade 9 peak-spiritual grandmaster, the peak of the cloud world experts.

After stepping into the celestial path, he needed to cross the spirit realm, celestial realm, and then he could enter the god realm!

However, if one further split up each realm like how they split up the human, earth and heaven realms, then there were a full 9 grades of gap between them!

As expected, the difference in their strengths had reached an unimaginable level.

“If it was me I would be anxious too! Just this 1400 purple cloud sword cavalry is close to ⅓ of the Tailing Sect’s amount. If those 200 disciples all fell here, it would hurt their strength and cause the Tailing Sect to have a broken level. Who knows how long it would take to make up.”

Hanfang stood with his hands by his body, after he heard that he laughed, turning his head, “It is best if you don’t look. The more you look the more it will affect your heart realm. If it was Tanqiu here, he might be able to comprehend sword soul fully.”

Fangwen’s brows rose. He didn’t feel unconvinced. As expected he stopped looking anymore and turned to look below.

“Senior master’s formation is annoying! It did indeed block that Qiuyun’s senses outside but both of us are unable to see through. Who knows what the situation is like within?”

“Is there anything to be worried about?”

Hanfang casually shook his head, “The moment the Han King retreated his troops, the junior brother had already won! Sword path one with the spirit, unparalleled formation charging, with those 7 heaven and earth variants. No matter what Tailing Sect had prepared, he would be able to handle it. We only need to worry about how much losses there would be for the common people path disciples. These were all heroes with outstanding talents who I originally wanted to give them some training before making them come back. I didn’t expect them to succeed, truly unintended actions give rise to unintended results. Junior brother could turn the tides and handle this matter…”

Whilst speaking, Hanfang suddenly exclaimed as he looked above.
