It was difficult for cultivators to maintain their Qi for long. This was a law that no cultivator could go against. Even those as strong as Mr. Nian, Ling Xiaozui, and Jun Moyan could only hold on for a slightly longer time.
Even with Yun Yang's beginner heaven realm cultivation base, the Endless Divine Art and Emmie's support would not be able to sustain him for too long. Just based on this alone, Ding Yunlu's chance of winning the bet was very high. At most, a few more soldiers would die, but they would be able to last until Yun Yang ran out of energy.
However, the prerequisite for such a situation was that Yun Yang would be alone without any assistance. Now, under the long hem of his green robe, Whitey Two's tiny body was carrying Yun Yang as they sped away!
As a supreme mystical beast, Whitey Two could fly for two hours even if it was carrying Yun Yang, as long as it did not provide mystical Qi for an important battle.
When Whitey Two was tired, there was Whitey Three to take over and continue flying. The time Whitey Three spent working was enough for Whitey Two to recover.
After all, Yun Yang had an endless supply of life force in his hands. He only needed to give Whitey Two a ball of it and he could revive it on the spot!
Therefore, to compete with Yun Yang in a battle of attrition, endurance, and endurance was akin to seeking one's own death!
Yun Yang had concealed Whitey Two's tiny body flawlessly, not giving himself away at all.
What he needed now was to create such an illusion for the enemy!
What you guys are doing is exactly what I want!
The rain of arrows continued. Yun Yang stuck close to the crowd, his saber flashing brilliantly. He had adopted the fighting method of Ziyou's experts earlier – he would leave immediately upon contact, never lingering to fight!
However, with each swing of his saber, there were a few people who screamed and fell to the ground, dead.
Faced with such a situation, the Four Seasons Tower's experts and the Empire of Ziyou's urgently mobilized tenth level Perfection experts did not dare show their faces at all!
If they were to jump out at this time and in such a state, it would be equivalent to fighting Yun Yang alone!
No one had the confidence or ability to defeat Supreme Cloud who was like a god of war!
There was no one among his subordinates who could withstand a single blow!
The entire city was filled with their own troops, while the other party was only a single person. However, the millions of soldiers on their side were completely helpless, and it was as if they were being slaughtered by a single person!
The Deicide Arrows and Siege Arrows shuttled back and forth, attacking without any regard for the consequences, but the only result they got in return was a huge number of casualties on their side!
There were even a few high-ranking generals who died tragically under the sniper arrows of their own side.
Fifteen minutes!
It had already been fifteen minutes!
This was the entire Xuan Qi reserve of a cultivator at the First Heaven!
Even a Tenth Perfection Grandmaster would not be able to do it!
Ding Yunlu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Supreme Cloud who was still flying low in the air, praying in his heart.
You can't hold on any longer, right?
Drop it!
Drop it quickly!
You can't hold on any longer! Hurry up and fall!
No matter what, your Xuan Qi is about to reach its limit, right?!
It was a pity that Yun Yang did not respond to his curse at all. He was still flying back and forth freely, no less agile than before. On the contrary … it seemed to have become more agile.
Then, an hour passed …
Supreme Cloud was still flying in the air, more agile than before. His saber light glinted menacingly, showing no signs of fatigue. The Empire of Ziyou's casualties had already exceeded ten thousand men!
This was undoubtedly a huge number, and it was also an unbearable number of losses!
The other party was only one person – there was only one person!
That person was not even in his best condition; his greatest support was no longer with him!
Despite this, he had still caused such a terrifying number of casualties on their side!
Such losses were unimaginable and unbelievable!
The moment Ding Yunlu, who was in a daze, snapped back to reality, he looked behind him. His legs were unsteady and he was about to fall.
The other party's goal had been clear from the beginning; he had clearly expressed his intention to charge out from the west gate. Throughout the journey, he had never changed his direction. Now, he had advanced too far!
Each time the other party made a move, the experts of the suicide squad behind him had to use their own bodies and lives to smash the other party back!
Charge back!
Smash back!
In spite of this, at least thirty to forty experts of the seventh peak and above had to be sacrificed for each interception.
Up until now, there had been seventeen interception attempts!
The experts that he had gathered behind him had been reduced from the initial five hundred men to the last group of thirty men!
A total of five hundred ace cultivators were thrown in just like that. The outcome of their interception at the cost of their lives was only to temporarily hold Supreme Cloud back. They did not even manage to inflict the slightest bit of damage on him!
But that wasn't all. What Ding Yunlu found the most unacceptable and incomprehensible was that … not only was his opponent not injured, he didn't even look the slightest bit tired. He was still advancing step by step. Hmm … had he advanced another 1,500 feet?!
The truth was hopeless!
Ding Yunlu's heart was already in complete despair. He could totally imagine what he would have to face after this battle!
Even if Supreme Cloud was annihilated in the end of this battle, the blame that he would have to bear would not be small!
The empire had lost so many of its core forces; someone had to step up and take responsibility!
As the person directly involved and the commander, he could not find a replacement even if he wanted to!
From the beginning of the battle until now, he had gone from brimming with confidence to feeling cold all over; his heart was filled with despair!
His declaration that Supreme Cloud would surely die and fall here had turned out to be nothing more than a joke!
Was he the one who had been dreaming?
Did the Empire of Ziyou not have any experts?
No!
Back then, the Empire of Ziyou's Celestial Stone had fallen into the hands of the founding emperor. For decades, the Celestial Stone had been in the palace, continuously emitting a copious amount of energy!
During that period of time, the people around the Empire of Ziyou's imperial city, especially the newborn infants, had all benefited greatly from the magical aura!
The benefits had even extended to the bloodline; the benefits were endless!
It was also from that time onwards that the Empire of Ziyou's martial force was unparalleled in the world.
Throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent, no other country could have more experts than the Empire of Ziyou!
It was just that these seedlings had disappeared one after another, not appearing among the people. It was because these people had been recruited by the noble families to guard their homes and become their private soldiers!
They did not fight for the country!
Now that the empire was in a precarious situation, those who came out to fight were still the common faces. Not a single true expert from the noble families had appeared!
Watching countless imperial soldiers being slaughtered, watching the enemy flaunt their prowess here, yet the nobles of the empire were still watching coldly from the sidelines. How could one not be saddened?
The strangest thing was that the palace's superior combat force had not come to help since the start of the battle!
Ding Yunlu's sorrow flowed like a river. Was this battle not related to the fate of the nation?
Was this battle not related to Ziyou's fate and the lives of his family?
"Retreat, spread out, don't let the crowd get too dense!" Ding Yunlu commanded the Deicide archers as he issued orders, "All long-range attackers, occupy the highest point!"
"Deicide Bows, keep shooting, don't stop!"
"Siege Archers, maintain the current firing rate, don't stop!"
Ding Yunlu's heart was about to explode. "Supreme Cloud, how long can you stay in the air? Are you still human? Why are you not doing anything? Is he really a devil? "
This was the question in the hearts of all the people from the Empire of Ziyou!
It was as if the other party was weightless, hovering in the air for such a long time, carefree and at ease.
In such a unique state, none of their attacks could pose a threat to him!
Everyone was asking the same question, "Where are the Empire of Ziyou's experts? Does the Empire of Ziyou not have an expert who can stop this fiend? "
A Supreme Cloud was flying around in the air, going on a killing spree, his murderous aura filling the air!
With Yun Yang as the bait to attract most of the enemy's firepower, Old Black and Little Green also went on a killing spree on the ground. Wherever they passed, people were thrown off their feet.
Ding Yunlu was even more bewildered. The two mystical beasts had been severely injured earlier and they were about to be killed. How could they have such combat power now? He arranged his troops at once to encircle the two beasts again.
Ding Yunlu's thoughts were clear. He knew that killing the two mystical beasts was the most important thing right now. If he were to ignore them, there might be more variables. However, what made Ding Yunlu feel even more hopeless was that when Ziyou's soldiers finally managed to severely injure the two mystical beasts again, Supreme Cloud flew past them and the two mystical beasts regained their vigor. Their injuries seemed to have healed in an instant, and they looked even more ferocious!
Everyone understood now that Supreme Cloud must have some kind of mystical skill that could revive the two beasts from the brink of death!
Was there any meaning in continuing this battle? When would it end?
Everyone instinctively had an extremely pessimistic thought – they had no chance of winning this battle. Perhaps, this nightmare could only end when Supreme Cloud charged out of the west gate!
Stop him?
It looked like they could not stop him anymore!
Did they not see that the other party was getting more and more relaxed? He no longer looked like he was in a hurry to leave!
The other party's actions were obviously toying with their hundreds of thousands of Ziyou soldiers!
God, are we all in the middle of a horrible nightmare?
Will we be devoured by the nightmare in the end? Will we all be slaughtered by one person?
Is this Supreme Cloud a human or a demon?
