In front of the barren castle.
The black smoke rolled up and down, sometimes breaking and dispersing, then quickly recovering and condensing again.
"Kill!"
The elites of the Dragon Killing Alliance charged towards the gap.
With Elder Bai, Cang Yuyue, and Old Su at the front, dozens of experts at the True Spirit Realm joined the battle.
In the mist of the city tower, Sub-Division Leader Batie waved his "Giant Iron Axe". With a single chop, it was as if the mountains collapsed and the earth split apart.
On Sub-Division Leader Batie's left and right were Palace Lord You Long and the gray-robed elder, who were both at the late-stage True Lord Rank, who forced Cang Yuyue and Old Su back.
Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!
Elder Bai Chang shouted sternly. With a wave of her sleeve, thousands of dazzling sword lights formed a huge ring that condensed at one point and launched a torrential storm of attacks at Division Leader Batie.
Ding Ding Ding!
Sub-Division Leader Batie swung his huge iron axe, sending sparks everywhere as he blocked the white-robed elder's ferocious attack. His figure was like a mountain.
In terms of numbers and experts at the True Spirit Realm, the Dragon Killing Alliance had the advantage.
However.
On the ancient castle's side, all of them had high level combat strength. They didn't fear death, and their worth was high.
The weakest of Sub-Division Leader Batie's three True Lord Ranks was at the late-stage True Lord Rank and they all had the courage to fight alone.
Most importantly, the castle's side was protected by an array and the black mist was like a moat of death.
Those below the True Spirit Realm couldn't block the power of the black mist and the slightest contact would cause their flesh and blood to rot, leaving behind a pile of white bones that became fertilizer for the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array.
Even those at the True Spirit Realm would be greatly affected by the black mist and their battle-power would decrease.
Normal True Human Rank cultivators' battle-power would decrease by 50% in the black mist.
Those at the True Mystic Rank would decrease by 20-30%.
Only those at the True Lord Rank would be affected the least and their battle-power would decrease by 10%.
On the other hand, the dozens of figures on the castle's side were all at the True Spirit Realm or above.
What was incredible was that these people weren't affected by the black mist at all.
"Indeed worthy of being a Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. Only the enemies are affected by the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array."
Lin Tong did not participate in the battle from afar, but he had a look of admiration on his face.
His eye-bloodline could barely see the skeletal Division Leader in the depths of the castle.
Hu ~ ~ The skeletal Division Leader floated in the center of the mist, and the black flag in front of it kept on moving.
Of course, Lin Tong was very cautious and quickly looked away, not daring to look at the skeletal Division Leader.
A legendary figure that had reached the Division Leader level had unfathomable strength. Killing a True Mystic Rank could be done with a thought.
Ding! Ding!
Boom! Boom!
Near the gap, the battle between the two sides intensified.
The battle between Elder Bai and Sub-Division Leader Batie shook Heaven and Earth. Everything within a hundred yards became a zone of death and anyone under the True Lord Rank would die.
"Ding, ding, ding —" Sub-Division Leader Batie waved his giant iron axe, forming layers upon layers of "axe walls". Gradually, he fell into a passive position and became tired of defending.
"This woman from the Myriad Sword Sect is so strong. Even Division Leader Batie is being suppressed by her."
The expressions of Palace Lord You Long and the other late-stage True Lord Rank changed.
The battle between two peak True Lord Ranks wasn't fair.
Firstly, Elder Bai would be affected by the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array and lose 5% of his battle power.
Secondly, Sub-Division Leader Batie was a strength-type expert and was in a defensive state.
This was especially so for the second point.
Elder Bai had to fight head-on against a strength-type expert like Division Leader Batie. This was a strenuous and unrewarding way of fighting.
However, even then, Elder Bai was still able to suppress Sub-Division Leader Batie.
In comparison, Zhao Feng defeated Sub-Division Leader Batie through skill, speed, and a strange bloodline ability.
If Zhao Feng had fought head-on, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Sub-Division Leader Batie head-on.
Yet, Elder Bai had managed to accomplish this under all sorts of disadvantageous circumstances.
"Not bad, not bad …. Your Ten Thousand Sword Technique should be at the fourteenth level now. You have the chance to catch up to Nan Jianfeng."
A low and mysterious voice sounded from the depths of the castle.
"Who are you?"
Elder Bai's heart shook when he heard the name "Nan Jianfeng."
"Hehe, Nan Jianfeng was called the Little Sword Sovereign. He wasn't even a hundred years old and was about to break through to the Origin Core Realm and become the second Sword Sovereign, Ye Wuxie. I had to pay a huge price to share the burden of the Cult Master to kill him. "
The skeletal Division Leader's figure started to float above the castle.
At this moment, everyone could see the skeletal Division Leader's figure. "Nan Jianfeng is my grandfather. So, you're his killer. Die ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~! "
Elder Bai's expression was cold as he turned into a streak of sword light that shot toward the skeletal Division Leader.
The skeletal Division Leader laughed and waved the black flag in front of it. The mist in front of it turned into a dragon that burned with scarlet-purple flames.
Whoosh!
Elder Bai's sword light was destroyed by the skeletal Division Leader.
"Dominating Sky Limitless Slash!"
Sub-Division Leader Batie swung his axe and pushed Elder Bai back dozens of yards.
Shua!
Elder Bai's white dress was torn, and a bloody wound appeared on her snow-white skin. She staggered.
"Master!"
Cang Yuyue exclaimed.
"Zhe zhe … you dare to be distracted in my Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array?"
The skeletal Division Leader said playfully.
He was still waving the black flag, attracting the surging black fog around the ancient castle.
The weird thing was that the skeletal Division Leader only floated in the air and didn't chase after Elder Bai and company.
"The situation isn't looking good for the Dragon Killing Alliance. There's still a Division Leader on the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion's side. Who knows what he's planning."
Lin Tong inspected the battle and didn't have any intentions of interfering.
Although he was Zhao Feng's servant, no one on the Dragon Killing Alliance's side could order him around.
In front of the gap in the castle.
Elder Bai was slightly injured due to her carelessness.
However, she wasn't scared and continued to attack Sub-Division Leader Batie. This time, her battle-power was obviously weaker and wasn't as relaxed as before.
"The gap in the mist is getting smaller and smaller."
Old Su was barely able to hold on and was pushed back by a late-stage True Lord Rank.
Whoosh … The gray fog in front of the castle was rapidly mending itself, and the fog was slowly devouring the crowd.
"Everyone, prepare to retreat."
Old Su's expression finally changed.
If even the Dragon Killing Alliance couldn't break through the array right now, then their chances would be even slimmer after the array was repaired.
Furthermore, the skeletal Division Leader in the air was like a mountain that made it hard for them to breathe.
Once the skeletal Division Leader attacked, the result would be unimaginable.
"Hehe, too late ~ ~ ~ ~!"
The black flag in the skeletal Division Leader's hand summoned a wave of burning smoke that descended from the sky and landed on the gap.
Hu ~ ~
A layer of scarlet and purple flames rose from the burning smoke and formed a triangular wall of flames that blocked everyone's path of retreat.
Not good!
The upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance turned around and saw the triangular wall blocking the path of retreat.
The black flag hovered above everyone's heads, and as it spun in the air, it emitted a thick cloud of smoke that burned with flames. Its power was nearly ten times greater than that of ordinary gray smoke.
"There's no way out."
The upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance had ashen expressions.
Normal True Spirit Realm cultivators would instantly turn into a puddle of blood upon contact with the black flag above their heads.
The aura of the triangular wall behind them was even more terrifying. It was a secret technique that the skeletal Division Leader had used, and it contained its Core Flame.
"You're not at the half-step Origin Core Realm!"
Elder Bai's face was pale-white and filled with shock and despair.
"So that's how it is. The skeletal Division Leader's goal was to kill all the upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance."
Lin Tong, who was watching from afar, revealed an expression of understanding.
As for the skeletal Division Leader's cultivation … it wasn't surprising that it was only at the Origin Core Realm since it was one of the upper echelon of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.
"Zhe zhe, I was ranked above average in the Twelve Divisions of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. Even though I've only awakened a few years ago and haven't fully recovered, I'm still not someone those half-step Origin Core Realms can compare to. "
The skeletal Division Leader floated in the air and had a smug expression.
It had finally trapped the upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance.
At this moment.
The Dragon Killing Alliance, including Elder Bai, were in a life and death situation.
There was no chance of victory if they charged forward, and retreating would only bring them closer to death.
What was unimaginable was that the skeletal Division Leader didn't attack head-on even though it was floating in the air.
It was still planning.
"We're still missing one …."
The flames in the skeletal Division Leader's eye sockets jumped as it looked at Palace Lord You Long.
"Division Leader, what are your orders?"
Palace Lord You Long's hairs stood on end. Was there something on him?
Far away.
Lin Tong watched the Dragon Killing Alliance fall into despair step by step without any sympathy on his face.
"Should I tell Zhao Feng?"
Lin Tong struggled in his heart.
He still remembered what Zhao Feng said to him before he left: "You don't need to participate in the battle, but if the Dragon Killing Alliance is in danger, use the Dark Heart Seed in your mind. I'll sense it and help."
The Dark Heart Seed was a mark that Zhao Feng had placed on Lin Tong's soul.
This mark wasn't like the Mark of the God Eye, which was used for tracking and concealment.
Just as Lin Tong was struggling:
Miao miao!
A silver-gray thieving cat had appeared on Lin Tong's shoulder at some point. It extended its paw and lightly scratched his neck.
Lin Tong's body froze, and he smiled bitterly. He had underestimated Zhao Feng. How could he not have a backup plan when he had given such an important mission to him?
He didn't hesitate anymore and immediately used his Mental Energy to attack the Dark Heart Seed.
Hmm?
The skeletal Division Leader suddenly sensed something and looked in Lin Tong's direction. Its eyes flashed with a dark red light.
Shua!
A powerful mental energy pressure appeared in the air above the castle and even those at the True Lord Rank felt their hearts jump and they felt like they couldn't breathe.
"Who's there?"
The skeletal Division Leader's heart skipped a beat as it turned around.
On the side of his head, there was a translucent blue eye that seemed to be on par with the heaven and earth, looking down at him coldly.
"That's …!"
The experts of the Dragon Killing Alliance felt their hearts shake, and they had the urge to kneel and worship it.
It's here again!
Palace Lord You Long hiccupped. It was obvious that he had a shadow in his heart.
"Zhe zhe …. I've been waiting for you for a long time. The 'tricks' on the Nether dragon were left behind by you, right? "
Although the skeletal Division Leader was surprised by the appearance of the Eye of Heaven, it wasn't too surprised.
