The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 801: Chapter 801: An Irresistible Force【Five Updates】

The other seven teams of the Glory Alliance were still attacking the seven commanderies held by the Gai Family.

To avoid excessive losses during combat, their progress was not fast, which was what Alliance Leader Jing Yan had requested from the beginning. The captains of the seven teams all followed the intentions of Alliance Leader Jing Yan.

Now that Flowing Light City had been leveled, Jing Yan naturally intended to lead the team that had attacked Flowing Light City to reinforce the other seven teams.

To save time, Jing Yan specially regrouped the hundreds of Martial Artists he led, dividing everyone into three teams.

The defensive forces of these seven commanderies might only be one-tenth of Flowing Light City’s, so it wasn’t necessary for everyone to focus on a single target.

Dividing into three teams allowed for the simultaneous reinforcement of three targets.

And Jing Yan himself would head to a target alone.

After giving the orders, the teams consisting of hundreds of Martial Artists separated and acted on their own.

Jing Yan originally had two Spiritual Ships, and he found several more in the Gai Family’s stronghold, so there were enough Spiritual Ships for use.

Jing Yan himself did not need a Spiritual Ship to travel. His flying speed was more than ten times faster than that of a Spiritual Ship.

After entering the Saint Realm, Jing Yan activated the Sixth Level Sky Wings, his speed increased several times compared to before. Because he could control the Heaven and Earth Laws, he could use the power of the Laws to increase his moving speed.

In just a few hours, Jing Yan had traveled from the region of Flowing Light City to Red Maple County.

While using Sky Wings to travel, Jing Yan gained further insights into it. He felt that the Sky Wings seemed to be able to resonate with the Heaven and Earth Laws.

The Holy Light Sword Technique, with the guidance of Sword Intent, produced an effect that resonated with the Heaven and Earth Laws, allowing Jing Yan to easily kill Gu Luoshui. And for Sky Wings, Jing Yan also had a vague understanding.

If the Sky Wings could also resonate with the Heaven and Earth Laws, then the flying speed would definitely be astounding.

Jing Yan even felt that the Seventh Layer of Sky Wings had to do with resonance with the Laws. If he could master this resonating method, perhaps he could bring the Sky Wings to the Seventh Layer, something that Senior Ling Luo had not achieved.

Red Maple County!

”Captain! The team has rested and is ready to continue the attack!” a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner reported to Zheng Sanxiao.

The team responsible for attacking Red Maple County was the very one led by Zheng Sanxiao.

”Good!”

”Commence the attack immediately! Hmph, in no more than one more week’s time, Red Maple County will surely fall!” Zheng Sanxiao immediately ordered.

”Yes!” The Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner responded and was about to turn and leave.

There were not many City Protection Arrays in Red Maple County, only a few. The reason why Zheng Sanxiao’s team had not breached the city was mainly that within the city, there would often be teams of Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners coming out to launch sneak attacks, which severely hindered Zheng Sanxiao’s team’s progress in besieging the city and also resulted in certain losses among the team members.

Especially for Dao King Realm Martial Artists, they often could not withstand even a single encounter when faced with the attacks of Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners inside the city; many were killed. Because of this, Zheng Sanxiao had no choice but to gather all the Dao King Realm Martial Artists together to avoid casualties as much as possible.

”Whoosh!”

Just as the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner was about to turn and deliver the order, a cyan figure suddenly appeared.

”Who goes there!” Zheng Sanxiao roared.

The Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner also immediately entered a state of readiness for battle, prepared to strike at any moment.

”Sanxiao brother, it’s me!” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”Alliance Leader?”

”Alliance Leader, why are you here?” Zheng Sanxiao looked at Jing Yan with a shocked expression.

He was not yet aware that Flowing Light City had been breached and the Gai Family’s stronghold razed to the ground.

”Flowing Light City is no more, and Gu Wanquan the old thief has been killed by me. So I’ve come to destroy Red Maple County,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”What?” Zheng Sanxiao’s eyes bulged.

The Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner beside him also took a sharp intake of breath.

Flowing Light City, destroyed?

It had indeed never occurred to Zheng Sanxiao that Flowing Light City would fall before the very Red Maple County he was assigned to attack.

It should be known that although the team led by Jing Yan had the most Martial Artists and the strongest, the defensive power of Flowing Light County was definitely beyond comparison with that of Red Maple County. In Zheng Sanxiao’s view, it would be normal for this battle to last a few years, but to his surprise, Flowing Light County was leveled in just over half a month.

Jing Yan joined the team attacking Red Maple County.

Half an hour later, Red Maple County fell to ruin, with ninety-nine percent of the Gai Family camp’s Martial Artists killed in battle. The few who slipped through the net were negligible.

After cleaning up the battlefield.

”Alliance Leader, your... your Cultivation...”

”Alliance Leader, how did you do it? I didn’t even see you make a move, and that super large High-Level Advanced Array defending the city just collapsed!”

”That’s outrageous!”

”Yes! There were still quite a few Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners stubbornly resisting within the city, but with a single sweep of Alliance Leader Jing Yan’s sword, most of those Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners died!”

”...”

After the battlefield was cleared, all the Martial Artists of the Alliance gathered in front of Jing Yan.

Thinking about the scene they had just witnessed, they were all shaken and disbelieving.

And Zheng Sanxiao, too, pursed his lips, his eyes filled with incredulity.

Back in the Splendid Dojo, when they, the first batch of eight Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners to be promoted to core members, had jointly sparred with Jing Yan. Even though Jing Yan was quite at ease defeating them at that time, Jing Yan definitely was not like now, where a casual sword strike could kill a dozen or twenty Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners.

Moreover, Jing Yan’s strikes seemed to be done with absolute nonchalance, Zheng Sanxiao didn’t sense any noticeable Qi Fluctuations from Jing Yan.

”Alliance Leader, you... you’re not in the Saint Realm now, are you?” Zheng Sanxiao, who had seen much of the world, could not think of a second possibility.

Exclude all other possible factors, and the remaining one, no matter how improbable it seems, is the truth.

Jing Yan just smiled and said nothing.

”Alright, let’s move on to the next Commandery!” Jing Yan said, waving his hand.

Holy City, Holy Palace!

Saint Master Shen Chong and Grand Steward Chang Huan were always paying attention to this war. Of course, their main focus was on Flowing Light City. If Flowing Light City were to fall, it would mean the Gai Family’s defeat. If Flowing Light City stood, then even if the other seven commanderies were breached, the Gai Family would not be annihilated.

They received news through Communication Crystal Stones, so the timeliness was very high, with only an hour or so delay. They had just learned that Jing Yan had destroyed the City Protection Array of Flowing Light City and was in direct combat with the Gai Family camp. Then, the news of Gu Wutian’s appearance followed.

The appearance of the Axe Demon Gu Wutian also stirred a slight fear in Shen Chong’s heart. As the Saint Master of the Heavenly Origin Continent, Shen Chong was no stranger to Gu Wutian and was aware of his strength. A thousand years ago, when Gu Wutian was only two hundred years old, he had the Combat Power of a First-class Dao Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artist.
