"I can't believe Chu Kuangren is in Sunsoil City. If he's here, we might stand a chance against the Tormented Army."
The Horizon Wing Sect Master's eyes lit up as he said.
As the saying went, those with great reputations were not just for show.
With Chu Kuangren's reputation, there was no doubt about his strength. If they could get his help, things would be much easier for them.
"Sect Master, Brother Chu is now deep in the Ancient Battlefield. He even said that he wants to explore the Core Area. I don't think he'll be able to make it here anytime soon," Leng Changkong said helplessly.
At that, the Horizon Wing Sect Master's expression changed slightly. He then sighed and said, "This is fate!"
It was not easy to see hope, but now it was gone.
Just as they were talking, the Tormented Army that had lost their leader did not stop and charged towards Sunsoil City. Although they did not have the support of a military formation, their overwhelming resentment was still extremely terrifying.
Countless tormented souls danced in the air as their resentment turned into a black mist that covered the sky, causing the entire Sunsoil City to darken.
When the Tormented Army was less than ten kilometers away from Sunsoil City, their terrifying resentment aura enveloped everyone.
Among the crowd.
A Horizon Wing Sect disciple held a longsword with a pale face. His forehead was drenched in sweat, and his hand that held the sword was trembling slightly.
When the Tormented Army arrived before them, everyone could see the ferocious faces of the Tormented Army.
"Kill!"
A disciple who was the leader yelled and took the lead to charge!
Behind him, the Horizon Wing Sect disciples roared as if they were cheering themselves on and charged towards the Tormented Army.
"Kill!"
The Horizon Wing Sect Master and the other experts rushed out too. Surges of Daoist Rhymes erupted and collided with the Tormented Army with spiritual power.
Without the support of a military formation, the Tormented Army could no longer gather all their strength. Hence, they fought on their own, which greatly reduced their combat strength.
However, a million Tormented Army was not to be underestimated.
The moment they clashed, the Horizon Wing Sect began to suffer casualties, and the number of casualties was increasing rapidly.
Compared to a million Tormented Army, the Horizon Wing Sect had too few people.
However, no one retreated!
If they retreated, their homes would be turned into hell.
Tens of millions of civilians would die.
"Kill!"
"You evil spirits, come at me!!"
The cultivators of the Horizon Wing Sect roared as they brandished their weapons and circulated their spiritual energy, using their flesh and blood to erect a barrier for the commoners.
Some of the fleeing cultivators stopped and saw this scene.
This scene had a great impact on them.
They couldn't understand why the people of the Horizon Wing Sect would send themselves to their deaths when it was clearly a battle that they were bound to lose.
When they died, the tens of millions of civilians would die as well.
Their deaths were practically worthless.
"Damn it, I think I'm a coward!"
"Me too."
"Damn it, it's just a bunch of Tormented Souls. Let's go back and fight it out with them. Our Long Dragon Troop will never be deserters!"
"Go back!"
Some cultivators were affected by the tragedy of the Horizon Wing Sect, and their hearts surged with hot blood. They gritted their teeth and actually returned to Sunsoil City.
There were also many people who scoffed at these cultivators.
"Hmph, he's just courting death."
"That's right. The Tormented Army is too strong. How can we possibly hold them off with just these few people? They're just sending themselves to their deaths."
…
In Sunsoil City, the people of the Horizon Wing Sect were fighting the Tormented Souls. In just a short period of time, more than a third of the Horizon Wing Sect had died.
Even with the help of other cultivators, they could not make up for their loss.
Seeing this, the Horizon Wing Sect Master was deeply saddened.
"Even if we've destroyed the army's formation, it's still difficult to hold off these millions of Tormented Souls. Is this all we can do?"
"The heavens are unfair. Can we really bear to see these people suffer?"
He let out a long howl and continued to fight with his sword!
Among the crowd.
Wu Ye formed a seal with his hands and channeled the spiritual energy around him. Buddhist Light manifested, and with each Buddhist Light, a Tormented Soul would perish.
He was very powerful, and the Buddhist Light was very lethal against the Tormented Souls.
However, he was only one person. No matter how powerful the Buddhist Light was, it could not compare to the millions of Tormented Souls. It was just a drop in the bucket.
Leng Changkong took out a new longsword and fought the Tormented Souls while the people of the Horizon Wing Troop surrounded him.
The Tormented Souls around him surged in like a tidal wave.
Soon, everyone had reached their limit.
Just as the troop was about to be annihilated, a sudden rumble came from the sky as if something was falling from the sky.
A stream of light suddenly landed in front of Leng Changkong and the others!
An overbearing Sword-based Daoist Rhyme erupted, and all the Tormented Souls within a radius of a hundred feet were turned into ashes by this Daoist Rhyme.
Only then did Leng Changkong and the others see clearly that it was a sword that had landed in front of them. It was an incomparably beautiful and exquisite sword.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master, Wu Ye, and the others were overjoyed.
They did not recognize this sword.
However, they were extremely familiar with this Sword-based Daoist Rhyme because the sword qi that Leng Changkong had summoned earlier contained this kind of sword qi.
"He's here!"
"That person is finally here!"
Wu Ye and the Horizon Wing Sect Master murmured with hope in their eyes.
A peerless figure dressed in white descended from the sky.
He stepped on the hilt of the sword, and his robes fluttered in the wind. Then, a terrifying and majestic sword qi erupted from his seemingly frail body, sweeping in all directions like an endless gale!
All the Tormented Souls that came into contact with the sword qi were instantly vaporized.
At that moment, everyone's attention was attracted by that white robe. Their gazes landed on that person, and everyone who saw him was dazed.
Even the Tormented Souls that filled the sky were stunned by that person's aura.
That person was none other than Chu Kuangren.
At that moment, a dazzling white light bloomed in the sky. Lan Yu, who was clad in gorgeous silver-white armor, had her wings spread out. She held the Scepter of Light in her hand and activated the Holy Radiant Physique Transformation to kill the Tormented Souls!
Surges of Light-based Daoist Rhyme gushed out from her body and turned into a dazzling white light. All the Tormented Souls that came into contact with this white light were annihilated.
"Young Emperor Lan Yu."
Everyone recognized Lan Yu. Rumor had it that Young Emperor Lan Yu and Chu Kuangren were inseparable. Since Chu Kuangren was there, naturally, she would be there as well.
"Greetings, Sect Leader, Horizon Wing Sect Master!"
The Horizon Wing Sect Master, who was battling the Tormented Souls, yelled.
The Horizon Wing Sect was a subsidiary force of the Black Heaven Sect. Since Chu Kuangren was the Black Heaven Sect Leader, he was naturally the Horizon Wing Sect Leader as well.
Chu Kuangren looked around.
Most of them were from the Horizon Wing Sect.
Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and could roughly guess what had happened.
"Everyone, I'm sorry that I'm late."
He looked at the Tormented Souls that filled the sky, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. The Sword-based Daoist Rhyme on his body became even more domineering.
The Tormented Souls that were present seemed to have sensed the threat that Chu Kuangren posed to them. They roared at him and charged towards him.
The Descendant Self Sword beneath Chu Kuangren's feet trembled slightly before it rose into the air and landed in his hand. With a gentle wave of his hand.
A purple sword ray erupted and spread out like a tidal wave. The tormented souls that were caught in the sword ray were easily annihilated.
With a single slash, tens of thousands of tormented souls were reduced to nothingness.
Everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw.
They had been fighting for so long and suffered heavy casualties. However, the combined number of tormented souls that they had killed was not as terrifying as Chu Kuangren's single slash!
"Is this the strength that can kill a Sage?"
The Horizon Wing Sect Master murmured.
