A crack appeared in the dark clouds as the wind blew. The rays of the setting sun shone on the faces of the soldiers, reflecting the cold gleam of their weapons.
"Kill!" The cavalry was in a deadlock, they all realized that the enemy was a strong enemy. Their lances crisscrossed with each other, a large number of cavalrymen charged forward with all their might. From time to time, someone would scream and fall down, trampled into meat paste.
Occasionally, there would be a brave person who would charge in between the gaps and cut down a large number of people under the momentum. However, in the blink of an eye, they would be stabbed to death by several spears. There were people constantly falling, and the battle was like a meat grinder.
"Daoist arts!" Behind him, the Daoist official took the risk to approach and continuously cast his arts.
With the support of his Dao Arts, the battle became more and more intense. As King Lu's cavalrymen were reduced in number, the demonic Qi around the lieutenant's body grew thicker and thicker. As the demonic Qi around him grew stronger and stronger, his expression became even more ferocious.
"Die!" Cai Lou's expression was malevolent. In an instant, a sharp whistling sound rang out from the tip of his spear, shattering the soldiers who dared to block his way. Blood sprayed out from his body, completely drenching him. On the other side, the injured military warfare officer of the imperial court was currently retreating.
"Charge!" With the help of Dao Arts, the cavalrymen lost all sense of fear as they charged forward. Even the Commandant was unable to stop them. As Pei Zi Yun watched on, one of the Dao Officers asked, "Not good, what's that?"
Far off in the distance, a small mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, swirling about mysteriously. A figure descended the mountain. He looked to be a Daoist in his twenties. As soon as he appeared, he moved like the wind. His body was light, and in an instant, he was dozens of feet away.
"Who?" Looking at the Earth Immortal flying towards him, Xie Cheng Dong felt a sense of familiarity. He was even more surprised. It was a Daoist from Dark Altar Sect. Could it be that the sect had sent reinforcements?
But how long had it been since he sent out the information? How could it be so fast? And this Daoist, I don't seem to have seen him among the elders?
Xie Chengdong hesitated, but before he could react, the Earth Immortal Realm Deity arrived not far away.
Right at this point, the Earth Immortal stretched out his hand and an electric arc appeared in his hand. The electric arc seemed to have a life of its own as it shot out towards King Lu's cavalry.
"Pipa!" There was a flash of light, and several of King Lu's cavalrymen were instantly paralyzed. However, it didn't seem to affect the cavalrymen at all.
"Kill! It's an ally!" Wherever the long sword pointed, blood would spurt out and the corpse would fall to the ground. It was just a corpse. Some of the greyish black Qi started to dissipate, and a portion of it started to move towards King Lu's other cavalrymen.
Cai Lou was alarmed. He looked at the Earth Immortal not far away and shouted, "How dare you! Aren't you afraid of the backlash? How dare you attack the army? "
Cai Lou's eyes were bloodshot, and Demonic Qi swirled within them.
The Earth Immortal sneered, "Possessed by evil spirits? Don't you know that your death is near? How dare you be so arrogant? "
"Kill the traitor!" Several cavalrymen of the imperial court charged at Cai Lou. Cai Lou turned around and thrust his spear. Before the cavalrymen could even get close, the spear had already pierced through their bodies.
"Haha, a few mere soldiers want to kill me? Die!"
Cai Lou exerted some strength in his shoulders, his face flushed red. He picked up the corpse of the cavalryman and gave it a hard spin, flinging it up like a fan.
The surrounding troops were thrown into chaos. They were all knocked off their horses and stabbed to death with their spears. Then, they looked up at the Earth Immortal, bared their teeth, and charged forward.
One of the cavalrymen wanted to stop him. Cai Lou thrust his spear and the cavalryman fell to the ground, clutching his throat.
Cai Lou killed several people and cleared a path. He glared at the Earth Immortal, not afraid at all. He raised his spear and approached. The Earth Immortal could see his ferocious expression clearly, "You're a Daoist. How dare you fight against the army. Go to hell. The one who killed you is Cai Lou …"
Before Cai Lou could finish speaking, the Earth Immortal laughed in disdain. He didn't even finish listening and pointed a finger at Cai Lou.
A bolt of lightning flashed. Cai Lou still had a sinister smile on his face, but in that instant, he only had enough time to tilt his head. The lightning struck his shoulder and instantly exploded, and a burnt smell wafted through the air.
"Ah!" Half of his shoulder was destroyed. The horse he was riding on was charred as well. He fell to the ground, sustaining heavy injuries. A long spear pierced towards him. Cai Lou screamed in pain and tried to block it.
Unexpectedly, another three cavalrymen pierced towards him.
"Pu, pu, pu!" The long spear pierced through his armor and pierced deep into his body. The sound of the spear piercing through his flesh was chilling to the core. After receiving this attack, Cai Lou coughed out blood. He struggled to hold himself upright and laughed out loud.
Just as the miserable laughter rang out, the long spear was pulled out from Cai Lou's body. With a loud boom, Cai Lou's corpse fell to the ground, dead. A demonic figure appeared above the corpse, revealing an expression of disbelief.
"Mere evil spirit, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me." The Earth Immortal laughed coldly. He waved his hand and another bolt of lightning landed on the demonic shadow. With a loud boom, it was reduced to ashes.
The power of wind and lightning was exclusive to Earth Immortals. Ninth and tenth stage cultivators did not possess such power. Xie Cheng Dong then realized that this was the clone of the Earth Immortal. This was the entrance to Dark Altar Sect. Apart from the Earth Immortal himself, who else could it be?
'Have I been abandoned?' Xie Cheng Dong's heart was filled with a sense of unease. The horse he was riding on seemed to be feeling uneasy as well. The Earth Immortal turned around and looked at Xie Cheng Dong coldly.
"Xie Cheng Dong, you used to be the disciple I valued the most. What a pity." The Earth Immortal sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to collude with demons and attack my sect. That's a heinous crime."
Hearing these words, Xie Cheng Dong's eyes turned red. His voice was hoarse from anger as he growled, "Why?"
"True Sovereign, I am a disciple of Dark Altar Sect. All these years, I've contributed so much to the sect. My father, Xie Yi, even sacrificed himself for Dark Altar Sect. Why would you collude with the enemy today and summon me into a trap?"
"Could it be that I've contributed so much that you feel threatened and want to get rid of me?"
From his point of view, he felt that although he had hidden the truth, he had done his best for the sect. Why would his sect collude with Pei Zi Yun to kill him?
At that point, Xie Cheng Dong thought about how in the past hundred years, there had been many geniuses who were close to becoming Earth Immortals who had fallen. At that point, he felt that he had grasped the truth. His eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at the Earth Immortal, wanting nothing more than to kill him.
The Earth Immortal was initially suspicious and hesitant. However, seeing Xie Cheng Dong's hatred and how he had exposed his actions, the Earth Immortal's last shred of pity was gone. He thought to himself, 'I originally wanted to give my soul a way out. But now, the only way to appease my anger is to have my soul destroyed.'
He laughed coldly, not revealing much hatred. His eyes flashed, "You traitor, do you know how much we've lost because of you and your father? You still dare to talk about contributions? "
"Xie Cheng Dong, surrender now and tell us how you colluded with the evil spirits. If you do so, you might be able to keep your soul. If you resist, we shall take your soul and interrogate you."
The Earth Immortal took a step forward. Although his step looked small, it was as if he had shrunk a ruler to an inch. In the blink of an eye, he was already so close to Xie Cheng Dong.
Xie Cheng Dong's face fell as he pulled out his sword. Just as he was about to speak, the Earth Immortal pointed a finger at him.
"Crackle!" A bolt of electricity shot out towards Xie Cheng Dong.
"You are forcing me to betray the sect." Xie Cheng Dong said. In an instant, the bolt of electricity was in front of him. Xie Cheng Dong raised his arm, "Order!"
"Boom!" It was as if the bolt of electricity had hit a barrier. Xie Cheng Dong slashed.
"Poof!" A ray of sword light shot out and turned into a ray of fire.
"Sword Qi!" The Earth Immortal shouted. His face was dark. He wasn't the only one. The rest of the spectators were stunned as well. Although the Sword Qi wasn't lightning, the essence was the same.
"Boom!"
The Sword Qi and the lightning clashed. Xie Cheng Dong pounced on the Earth Immortal. In a long distance fight, Xie Cheng Dong had no chance of winning. In close combat, Xie Cheng Dong was confident that he could defeat the Earth Immortal.
The Earth Immortal's expression didn't change. He spat out one word, "Buzz!"
A series of sound waves shook the surrounding space, sealing Xie Chengdong's body. However, at the next moment, Xie Chengdong sent out another stream of sword Qi, slashing out a crack at the sound waves. For some time, the two of them were locked in an intense battle.
Zhang Ling watched the battle, her expression was one of shock, "Could it be that Xie Cheng Dong has become an Earth Immortal? If not, how can he fight against the Earth Immortal's clone?"
He thought to himself, 'Xie Cheng Dong is indeed an outstanding talent. He's been fighting against the Earth Immortal for so many times. Even under the attacks of the Earth Immortal, he's still able to hold his own. I'm sure he's already reached the Earth Immortal stage. It's just that he hasn't completely transformed yet.'
Pei Zi Yun's heart thumped as the scene before his eyes changed.
Above Xie Cheng Dong's head was a True Sovereign. It looked like a flood dragon as it revolved around him.
"It's the position of a True Sovereign. Xie Cheng Dong was originally at the tenth level of the True Sovereign stage. Now that he's received this title, he's about to transform. Damn it. Without Dark Altar Sect's Paradise to provide him with energy, even if he's half a step into the Earth Immortal stage, he'll never be able to cross over. How long can he last in this state?"
"Now that we have the Dragon Veins, we've fulfilled the requirements. It's just that it's a usurpation, and the transformation takes time. That's why he hasn't reached the True Sovereign stage yet."
"The system didn't cheat me. If I allow this person to transform, how can I resist?"
"I have to kill this person today."
Pei Zi Yun looked out at the battlefield. Just now, the Earth Immortal had killed one of King Lu's Colonels. The soldiers of the imperial court were slowly gaining the upper hand, although they weren't suppressing King Lu.
Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, 'The Earth Immortal is still on guard against me. He only killed one of the Colonels to gain the upper hand, but didn't allow me to suppress him. He wants both of us to be injured.'
'You have your plans, I have my countermeasures. The only thing I need to do now is to get rid of King Lu's troops before surrounding and killing Xie Cheng Dong. ' Pei Zi Yun then looked at Zhang Ling and waved his hands, "The Imperial Edict has ordered us to wipe out Dark Altar Sect. I shall kill my way in. All of you follow me and kill King Lu's troops. After that, follow me to wipe out Dark Altar Sect's troops!"
"True Sovereign, we've only just started working together. Wouldn't it be inauspicious for us to turn against them?" One of the Daoist officials seemed hesitant, as he didn't want to get involved in the battle. Pei Zi Yun laughed and asked, "Are you going to disobey the Imperial Edict?"
"True Sovereign, this lowly official wouldn't dare." The Daoist official's face fell as he hurriedly tried to explain himself.
"Hm, it's good that you don't dare!" Following Pei Zi Yun's cold shout, Zhang Ling and the rest of the Daoist officials felt their bodies stiffen as they revealed looks of helplessness.
Daoist officials were different from ordinary Daoists. They were under the direct control of the Imperial Qi. No matter what, Pei Zi Yun was now the Imperial Envoy. With a single word, he could strip them of their powers. None of them dared to rebuke him as they replied, "Yes, True Sovereign."
