Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1019: Breaking the Formation

However, upon hearing this, Ling Yi’s eyes did not lose that hint of deep thought. Although awakening that existence was indeed a tremendously difficult task for the Witch Fiend Sect, and time was insufficient, he still sensed a powerful fighting spirit from these members of the Witch Fiend Sect.

It seemed as if they were holding on to something. A force of hope was driving them to resist.

Perhaps, perhaps the Witch Fiend Sect was already in the process of reviving the Witch God, and these followers were merely waiting for the moment the Witch God was resurrected and descended.

This made him feel somewhat uneasy.

”Intensify the attack.”

Ling Yi frowned, unwilling to see any uncertainties arise, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, ”Once the Array Formation is breached, slaughter everyone on Spirit Snake Island, leaving no possibility for resurgence.”

”Of course. Rest assured, they can at most hold out for half a day more. After that, the Array Formation will definitely be broken.”

A cold gleam also passed through Ling Tianzun’s eyes. When it came to Evil Cultivators, he always believed there was no need for mercy; only complete annihilation was the best solution.

...

On Spirit Snake Island.

The Left Guardian Law stood atop the tower with a grave expression. The current situation was extremely dire, with only four formations remaining intact, and the casualties were considerable.

Judging by the number of dead alone, it appeared that the Ling Family had suffered much more severe losses than the Witch Fiend Sect. However, in reality, the Witch Fiend Sect’s side had more injured, and their losses were no smaller than the Ling Family’s.

”Still haven’t emerged?”

The Left Guardian Law glanced toward the depths of Spirit Snake Island, where the space remained quiet, showing no special fluctuations.

This made the Left Guardian Law’s heart sink slightly.

The Ling Family’s two Great Elders had both acted, and on the Witch Fiend Sect’s side, even he could not withstand either of them.

Once the Array Formation was breached, the final result would likely be a swift and overwhelming defeat, much like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves, and the entire Spirit Snake Island would be completely obliterated by the Ling Family in no time.

No matter what, it was necessary to hold out until Witch Goddess emerged from seclusion.

The Left Guardian Law clenched his fist, his heart surging with emotion. He could not let the Witch Fiend Sect be destroyed at his hands, especially now when the Witch God had already been revived!

Boom!

With a sound like the earth shaking, the Left Guardian Law involuntarily looked in the direction of the noise, only to see yet another Array Formation had been breached, exposing the northwestern perimeter of Spirit Snake Island completely to the enemy’s attack.

Strong members of the Ling Family flooded into that area like tidal waves, engaging in fierce combat with the retreating Witch Fiend Sect powerhouses. Instantly, blood and flesh flew, and the sounds of battle roared to the heavens.

Many powerful members of the Witch Fiend Sect, unable to retreat in time, were engulfed by the formidable assault, leaving no remains behind.

Whoosh!

A Deacon of the Witch Fiend Sect, covered in blood, appeared in front of the Left Guardian Law. His wounds were severe, with many areas showing stark white bones, making for a terrifying sight.

”Left Guardian Law, the enemy’s attack is becoming fiercer. I’m worried we won’t be able to hold much longer.”

That Witch Fiend Sect Deacon half-kneeled to the ground, his eyes filled with anxiety.

”If it becomes impossible, we can only use the last resort.”

The Left Guardian Law’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp glint.

”The last resort?”

The Witch Fiend Sect Deacon was momentarily stunned, then his pupils suddenly shrank, ”You mean the Blood Demon Pill?”

Saying this, his voice couldn’t help but tremble. The Blood Demon Pill worked by overdrafting the warriors’ life force to unleash their body’s potential and boost their combat power.

Consuming a Blood Demon Pill could indeed significantly enhance one’s strength in a short period, but after ingestion, a lifespan that would have lasted several decades might very well be exhausted in a single day.

These elixirs were truly too cruel.

Currently, many powerful members of the Witch Fiend Sect, as long as they had even a little potential, carried the Blood Demon Pill, just waiting for the final moment to unleash their last ounce of potential in a desperate struggle against the Ling Family’s forces.

This was the last option.

After all, once the Blood Demon Pill was ingested, it meant taking the enemy with oneself in death, and voluntarily severing one’s own path to survival.

”Yes, give the order.”

The Left Guardian Law’s face remained as calm as still water, without any emotional fluctuations, ”To buy time for the Witch Goddess, this is the only way.”

”Understood!”

Upon hearing the words ”Witch Goddess,” a touch of reverence appeared in the eyes of the originally despairing Deacon, and he resolutely nodded, turning to depart.

Watching the departure of the Deacon, the shadow in the Left Guardian Law’s eyes did not dissipate, because he knew that even if a large number of Witch Fiend Sect powerhouses consumed the Blood Demon Pill to overdraft their life force and explode in strength, it was merely a stopgap measure. At most, it could stall for some more time, but defeating the enemy due to this was impossible.

Relying on the power of the Blood Demon Pill, the Witch Fiend Sect’s defense quickly stabilized, tightly guarding the remaining three formations.

On the massive flying battleship, Ling Yi and Ling Tianzun observed the battle below, and they couldn’t help but frown.

They could naturally see that the Witch Fiend Sect forces were recklessly using the Blood Demon Pill to enhance their strength.

”This Witch Fiend Sect truly is filled with Evil Spirits.”

Ling Yi’s eyes grew increasingly cold.

”There’s no other way; they’re doing it to survive. After all, they are doomed to die, so why not make a desperate struggle before death, just a futile last effort, nothing to worry too much about.”

Ling Tianzun said calmly.

Hearing these words, Ling Yi didn’t say anything further. The ominous feeling in his heart remained. The more fiercely the Witch Fiend Sect resisted, the more uneasy he felt. If one knew they were to die for certain, they wouldn’t have such high spirits unless they believed they still had a chance to turn the tides.

”We can’t wait any longer! Attack with me and break the formation!”

Finally, a fierce gleam flashed in Ling Yi’s eyes. Without another word, he tapped his foot and leaped off the flying battleship, his body transforming into a streak of light, appearing above the Witch Fiend Sect’s Array Formation.

Ling Tianzun was taken aback but quickly followed. Though he didn’t know why Ling Yi was suddenly so tense, he understood Ling Yi well enough to know that he wouldn’t act without reason; he must have noticed something was amiss.

Before he could ask further, Ling Yi had already taken action. A Stone Sword had appeared in his hand, and as his True Qi flooded into it, the sword’s shadow expanded rapidly, swelling to a hundred feet in size, hovering mid-air, ready to slash down.

Ling Tianzun understood and immediately followed suit, pumping vast True Qi into the Stone Sword, further expanding the massive sword shadow.

Every powerful member of the Witch Fiend Sect couldn’t help but look up. The massive sword shadow was like the sickle of death hanging over their heads, poised to fall at any moment.
