Open the Door
"We actually made it in time." Lin Tianchong was also standing on the back of the Void Spirit Devouring Python. He looked around, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
His cultivation had already reached the sixth tribulation of Nirvana Realm, and he specialized in Lightning Arts. His speed was even faster than lightning, but to rush from Yanxiang Pass to Wanjian Pavilion, he still needed an hour without the slightest respite.
However, he rode the Void Spirit Devouring Python, broke through the void, and arrived safely at Yanxiang Pass in just a few breaths of time. Such speed could be said to be shocking.
Surprise flashed in Lin Tianchong's eyes. He immediately shifted his gaze to the front, and his expression became incomparably ugly. The speed of the other party's reorganization was faster than he had expected. They had actually forced their way to Yanxiang Pass.
"Luo Yun, long time no see." High up in the sky, Gu Tianjiao looked down at Chu Xingyun with a condescending gaze. He was very pleased, and wanted to see Chu Xingyun's panicked and anxious expression.
However, Chu Xingyun only glanced at him before withdrawing his gaze. There was no anxiety or panic on his face. He turned to Wu Jing Xue and Mowang Gong and said, "Open the door."
"Hmm?"
His calm voice set off a wave in the hearts of the crowd. Chu Xingyun had just arrived at Yanxiang Pass, and he was going to open the door?
Chu Xingyun seemed to have expected everyone's surprised expression. He shifted his gaze and looked at the old, weak, women and children below, and said clearly, "I understand your concerns, and I also know the consequences of opening the door. However, we are stationed at Yanxiang Pass, facing the enemy's 3.6 million elite troops, for the sake of guarding our territory and protecting our people."
"These 30,000 old, weak, women and children come from Yanxiang City, and are the people of Wanjian Pavilion. If we have to watch them die miserably, then what is the meaning of our existence?"
Chu Xingyun's eyes flashed with a bright light, which was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the crowd. When the last voice fell, the tangled look on Mowang Gong's face disappeared, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Not only him, Wu Jing Xue, Su Hanfeng, Ye Ming, Chu Hu, and the others no longer frowned. They took a deep breath and opened their eyes once more. A surging battle intent burned fiercely, and their gazes were sharp as if they wanted to pierce through the void.
"Since the Pavilion Master has spoken, how can we refuse?" Lin Tianchong fanned himself with his feather fan. As he looked away, his eyes grew deeper and deeper as he called out in a low voice, "Su Hanfeng, Ye Ming."
"We are here!" Su Hanfeng and Ye Ming knelt down on one knee and replied.
"When the gate is opened, the enemy will definitely rush in. The two of you should immediately reorganize your troops and split into two groups. You will attack from both sides and forcefully intercept the enemy's attack to buy time for the people to enter the pass."
After he finished speaking, Mowang Gong looked at Wu Jing Xue and continued, "Wu Jing Xue, you will lead the 3,000 Jingtian Army and gather the momentum of a surprise attack. The goal is not to kill the enemy, but to disrupt the enemy's formation."
"Okay!" Wu Jing Xue nodded heavily.
The terrain of Yanxiang Pass was long and narrow. Even if the enemy had the advantage of numbers, they would not be able to go all out, and their combat power would be reduced by a lot. However, for the Jingtian Army, this was not a worry. They could freely charge and easily disrupt the enemy's formation.
"As for the rest, stay at Yanxiang Pass and operate the spiritual array together. Judging from the speed of the elderly, women, and children, we only need to hold on for 15 minutes and they will be out of danger!"
Mowang Gong finally looked at the crowd. They nodded silently, their eyes full of sharpness. They all knew that this was a battle of life and death, and they could not be careless.
Rumble!
A deafening sound was heard, and the tightly closed gate was finally opened.
In an instant, the expressions of the people in the valley changed dramatically.
The 30,000 elderly, women, and children were first stunned, then shocked, and finally moved.
They all thought that they were going to die in front of Yanxiang Pass. They cried for help, but the heavens and earth didn't respond. They never thought that Chu Xingyun would give the order to open the gate. He wanted to save their lives in danger.
The people from the Daluo Golden Sect and Divine Wind Hall were stunned as well. However, while they were surprised, icy killing intent appeared on their faces. They stuck out their scarlet red tongues, and they were so savage that they seemed like ferocious beasts that were about to devour their prey.
"For the lives of 30,000 people, you are actually willing to open the gate. Luo Yun, you are really stupid." Gu Tianjiao obviously did not expect that Chu Xingyun would do such a thing. He released his aura, and his whole body was full of sarcasm.
In the void, Gu Xuanfeng and Lin Yuanli stood with their hands behind their backs. They looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. A light flashed and they shouted, "Prepare to break through!"
For the Daluo Golden Sect and the Shenxiao Palace, the 30,000 elderly, women, and children were just bait. They had already set up an ambush. As long as the gate was opened, they would rush out and break through the pass.
Rumble! Countless elite soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands. When they stepped out, dust flew up, and the entire void was shrouded in dust. A long roar was heard, and they instantly launched a terrifying charge.
"They are here." Ye Ming spurred his horse and had already arrived behind the elderly, women, and children. When he saw the elite soldiers rushing out from all directions, his expression suddenly froze. He raised the long spear in his hand, and his spiritual power was bright and dazzling.
"All soldiers, before the elderly, women, and children safely enter the pass, we must stop the enemy's charge even if we die!" Ye Ming shouted loudly. Wu Ling's long spear condensed above his head. He swung his horse whip and fearlessly faced the charge of the ferocious elite soldiers.
Boom!
Just as Ye Ming was charging, Wu Jing Xue and the 3,000 Jingtian Army had finished gathering. Evil Qi raged on their bodies, and strands of purple and black light bloomed. In an instant, they turned into a huge evil dragon and rushed forward, causing the entire ground to tremble.
"Kill!"
Wu Jing Xue turned into the head of a dragon. He swung his halberd, and the dragon roared. He forced his way into the countless elite soldiers and completely disrupted their formation. Wherever he passed, the elite soldiers let out mournful cries and died on the spot.
However, the number of elite soldiers was too large. Although they were unable to exert their advantage due to the narrow terrain of the valley, team after team, as if they were endless, madly rushed towards Yanxiang Pass.
Sounds of killing, roars, and all kinds of terrifying sounds reverberated. The elderly, women, and children were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They did not dare to hesitate at all. They quickly passed through the gate and entered Yanxiang Pass.
"You want to live? Go to hell!"
At this moment, an elite soldier with a long saber rushed over. He jumped up and rushed towards an elderly woman. He wanted to step on her body and force his way into Yanxiang Pass.
The ruthlessness of the elite soldiers frightened the old woman so much that her face turned pale. Just as she thought she was going to die for sure, a Star Suppressing Guard suddenly appeared in front of her. His long spear swept out and directly sent the elite soldier flying.
However, the old woman's complexion didn't ease up because of this. Instead, it became even paler. In front of them, even more elite soldiers were charging towards them. Their auras were surging. Just the Baleful Qi they emitted was enough to make one's heart tremble.
"It's over …" Someone was in a daze and directly sat down on the ground. He could already feel the arrival of death.
"A bunch of rascals. If you want to kill anyone, you'll have to step over our bodies!" A roar exploded like thunder, and it was even more like a bolt from the blue. It woke up those who were in a daze.
In their field of vision, Star Subduing Guards and Imperial Army soldiers were rushing over. Their faces were stained with blood and their bodies were riddled with wounds, but they did not seem to care. One by one, they used their flesh and blood to build a high wall, forcefully blocking the merciless charge of the elite soldiers.
Puchi, puchi, puchi …
Countless elite soldiers rushed over and fiercely slammed into the high wall of flesh and blood. Their sharp weapons slashed past, and violent spiritual energy surged out. In just an instant, the high wall exploded into a bloody mist. Mottled blood sprinkled down, staining the bodies and faces of the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children. It was like a flower of blood blooming.
However, no matter how the enemy charged and rushed, this high wall of flesh and blood still firmly protected the elderly, the women, and the children. When one person fell, another person would immediately take his place.
In fact, some Star Guardians and Imperial Army soldiers had already died, but before they died, they still stubbornly held on. It was as if they had really turned into a high wall that could not be destroyed.
In an instant, all the elderly, the women, and the children were stunned.
The resolute faces of the Star Guardians and Imperial Army soldiers were reflected in their eyes. Drops of blood dripped down, but they seemed to have merged into their bodies. As their hearts beat, they once again flowed and galloped.
