Chapter 477 Rescue 5

This was a tall, imposing armored warrior with an extremely majestic appearance.

It has two horns on its head, its face is covered with scales, and many dragon scales are faintly growing on its armor, giving it a very terrifying aura.

The Nirvana heretical technique was extremely powerful, yet it was still easily countered.

This is a Dragon Armor Soldier, a peak level eight Dragon Armor Soldier.

Although it cannot compare to a true Nirvana peak cultivator, it is still more than enough to deal with ordinary Nirvana cultivators.

For example, right now.

The dragon-armored soldier leaped forward and charged directly in front of the three evil cultivators who had reached Nirvana.

With just one punch, he caused one of the magical artifacts that Nirvana cultivators were using to protect him to deviate from its normal position, demonstrating its terrifying power.

All three heretical Nirvana cultivators frowned.

This is—an eighth-level puppet?

This "person" has no trace of a living being, but moves with great agility. If it is indeed a puppet, it is probably meticulously crafted and often serves as a protector for disciples of a major sect.

Therefore, the person who released this puppet must be of extraordinary origin.

Who knows if they might have more similar puppets?

So, without even saying goodbye, the several heretical Nirvana cultivators all bypassed the dragon armor soldiers' attacks and fled in different directions—essentially abandoning the battlefield!

From the perspective of the Nirvana heretical sect, while the blood offerings here are certainly good, preserving their strength is more important.

They are all cunning people who are unwilling to take any risks.

Every heretic Nirvana was worried: what if they really stayed behind and became the downfall of the other two who came with them?

Because they all shared the same mindset, this comical scene was created.

·

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had just stood on the city wall when they saw several heretical Nirvana cultivators fleeing in disarray, and they immediately fell silent.

The alliance leader felt a slight sense of relief.

Without the interference of those evil Nirvana practices, they were not without the power to resist attacks from other evil paths.

Therefore, the alliance leader immediately called on the righteous cultivators on the city wall to cooperate in attacking the evil cultivators outside the city.

The evil forces were also attacking the city walls, but suddenly they discovered that their three "bosses," who were attacking most fiercely from high above, had actually run away.

They were a little confused at that moment.

Upon seeing this, some of the cunning and wicked individuals also quickly retreated.

Some evil cultivators who didn't react in time were quickly attacked and killed by the alliance disciples!

In an instant, shouts of battle filled the air, and countless attacks were launched towards the city walls.

To prevent the evil forces from continuing their attacks on the city walls and invading the city to carry out massacres, many of the alliance leaders and others jumped off the city walls and fought against the evil forces outside the city.

Many of the evil cultivators knew things might be going badly and tried to escape, but the righteous cultivators present were focused on them and, seeing this, were not about to let them go. They immediately increased the speed of their attack, and even more jumped off the city walls.

Zhong Cai also wanted to kill more evil cultivators. Seeing that the evil cultivators had escaped through Nirvana, he released two more peak-level dragon armor soldiers.

So the three dragon-armored soldiers followed Zhong Cai's instructions and split into three different directions to hunt down the evil cultivators.

Wu Shaogan, on the other hand, fired arrows downwards towards the city.

Since these evil sects are wholeheartedly devoted to slaughtering the righteous path, they should also be prepared for righteous cultivators to come to their aid, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

As countless arrows rained down, the evil path perished in droves, while the righteous path remained unscathed.

Even in such a chaotic situation, Wu Shaogan's rain of arrows did not harm a single righteous cultivator.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators of the alliance were overjoyed, and the momentum of their attack on the evil path grew increasingly terrifying, whether they were below the city walls or on the city towers.

Many evil paths were even blocked by the righteous path halfway through their escape.

Zhong Cai also made a move.

He swung his meteor hammer, which instantly transformed into a meteor shower, covering a vast area.

Then it was one head per hammer blow, ten heads for ten hammer blows...

Wherever the meteor hammer passed, a clump of brains would burst open.

Such ferocity drew the attention of the righteous cultivators nearby, who couldn't help but take a second look.

The legendary King Wu Dou was known for his violent and ruthless attacks, but now, seeing King Zhong Dan swing his hammer... his ferocity is no less than that of the arrows that pierced and burned the evil path!

Perhaps... it's true that "two kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed."

Never mind.

Many righteous cultivators continued their tenacious fight.

After repeated battles, the evil faction suffered heavy casualties.

Many of those on the righteous path who jumped off the city walls to fight to the death should have died tragically, but the Zhong and Wu couple had exceptionally good eyesight.

Whenever someone from the righteous path is about to die at the hands of the evil path, at least one of the couple will step in and kill the evil path first.

So, even after all 100,000 evil cultivators were slaughtered, the righteous path suffered no casualties whatsoever?!

This is incredible!

However, some experts at the Spirit Transformation level have analyzed the situation carefully and concluded that it was because the battlefield was not expanded too much, allowing all enemies to be within the range of Zhong Wu Fufu's secret technique and be "seen" clearly by them. Even the rain of arrows and meteor hammers would not accidentally kill a single righteous person, so they could naturally provide timely rescue and prevent the righteous side from perishing.

At this moment, the alliance disciples were busy dealing with the corpses and souls of the evil cultivators, while the alliance leader and others quickly tidied themselves up and happily approached Zhong Wu and his wife. They bowed deeply to them and solemnly thanked them, saying, "Thank you both for your help. We are extremely grateful!"

As they spoke, the alliance leader handed over a token and infused it with a wisp of his soul.

Several other important figures in the alliance also infused their soul essence into the system.

Zhong Cai asked in surprise, "What is this?"

The alliance leader sighed, "Our alliance is composed of several loose forces and we were unable to report the mission. However, we cannot let our helpers do their work for nothing. Therefore, we made this sign to record the number of enemies killed by our helpers. Our souls will bear witness to the merits of our helpers. After this battle, the top forces of our Hundred Forest Domain will naturally step forward to redeem the reward."

"Rest assured, both of you. This item was personally crafted by Nirvana, one of the major powers, and is certified by the seals of several powers. We only lack the means to acquire it now due to wartime. After this calamity, my Hundred Forest Domain will never break our promise." His expression was extremely solemn. "Even if my Hundred Forest Domain is completely destroyed, as long as some of the top powers still have people left, or as long as any of our allied forces still have people alive, for thousands of years, generation after generation, we will still honor our commitment!"

Zhong Cai took the sign and glanced at it briefly.

Sure enough, there were several marks on it, including some from the Crimson Wolf Sect.

After he poured his soul into it, he heard several voices from within—

In essence, it's about how, with the assistance of Zhong Cai from the Lingxian Sect and Wu Shaogan from the War God Hall, a certain number of people from the evil paths of Xuanzhao, Fusion, Palace Building, and Spirit Transformation were killed, witnessed by a certain person from the Xiaoyao Sect and other forces. The details include how much they will pay in compensation, and who will be responsible for repayment if the compensation is not paid in full.

It is indeed very sincere.

Zhong Cai carefully put it away and said with a smile, "You're all too kind."

The alliance leader said, "We have no way to repay your great kindness. If this calamity had not been so severe... even this is not enough for us."

Zhong Cai exchanged a few more polite words with the leader of the alliance. Then, the couple waited for a while, and after the dragon-armored soldiers returned, they prepared to take their leave.

These dragon-armored soldiers are not true cultivators after all, and they are indeed not agile enough.

Even though they chased after them at top speed, several heretical cultivators still managed to escape.

Zhong Cai sighed. What a pity.

But there was nothing that could be done. Fortunately, those few evil cultivators undergoing Nirvana were kept in check by the Dragon Armor Soldiers and couldn't easily put pressure on the righteous path.

That should be enough for now.

Zhong Cai waved his hand, and put away the dragon-armored soldiers.

Then, Zhong Wufu left the alliance.

Qingyu still carried them, and the two took out a map and went to find the place according to their assigned task.

The closest one to here is a mission issued by a level seven faction—actually, it's not that close, because those closer have all gathered here and formed an alliance.

With a long cry, Qingyu flew westward at lightning speed, like a streak of blue lightning.

·

Qinghe Gate.

The blue feather hovered silently in the sky.

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan looked down and saw that the sect's great formation had been completely destroyed. The mountains, lakes, and many buildings in the sect had either been turned into scorched earth, dug into ruins, or stained with blood.

Inside the gate, many trees had withered bones hanging from them.

Or rather, the forest that the sect originally provided for its disciples to hunt or gather has now become a forest of human bones.

On almost every tree, there were human bones hanging from the robes of Qinghe Sect disciples.

There wasn't a trace of flesh or blood left on the bones, but the color, hardness, and luster of the bones revealed that they all belonged to the junior disciples of Tianyin and Bigong.

That's right. Once a cultivator's bones are consecrated, they become quite valuable, unlike the bones of a cultivator from the Heavenly Guidance Palace, which are considered worthless.

Clearly, the evil cultivators who besieged this place were not only cruel, but also had a rather "perverse sense of humor".

What other purpose could they possibly have in hanging these human bones? Isn't it simply to provoke the righteous path?

Zhong Cai's eyes turned cold.

Wu Shaogan patted Zhong Cai's arm lightly and whispered, "There's still a bloody smell."

Zhong Cai immediately snapped out of his daze and whispered, "A level seven power should be able to hold out for longer, but something's not right here. Could it be that some heretical cultivators have suddenly undergone Nirvana?"

Wu Shaogan was also unsure. Holding Zhong Cai's hand, he said, "Let's go take a look first."

Zhong Cai nodded.

Under the two men's instructions, Qingyu's size quickly shrank, leaving only two or three zhang long.

This is just the right size to carry two people, and it makes very little noise, so it won't attract too much attention.

Moreover, instead of flying high in the sky, they landed and moved forward along the broken walls and ruins inside Qinghe Gate, using some obstacles for cover.

Gradually, the smell of blood grew stronger.

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were slightly moved and simultaneously took out a strange level eight Xuan artifact.

Judging from its appearance, it is a bead.

But in essence, it is a treasure that can shield one's aura and almost help cultivators become invisible.

Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai quickly infused their Xuan power.

The bead was activated, transforming into a protective shield that enveloped Zhong Wu and Qing Yu.

Their presence was reduced to the extreme.

Then, Qingyu continued to fly, unhurriedly, without even the air currents being stirred by its wings.

A short while later, the smell of blood became almost pungent.

The couple looked up and saw a mountain peak standing amidst the countless blood mists ahead.

The mountain peak was covered with formations for both offense and defense, protecting the entire mountain.

Upon closer inspection, the mountain peak was filled with people, ranging from those who had attained enlightenment to those who had transformed into spirits.

At the foot of the mountain, facing off against the group were several elders of the Qinghe Sect and two Spirit Transformation cultivators with remarkable bearing.

The Spirit Transformation cultivator, with his distinguished bearing, had a solemn expression. Several elders of the Qinghe Sect were also Spirit Transformation cultivators, but their aura was far inferior to that of the other two cultivators whose attire differed from theirs.

The disciples on the mountain peak were all furious, and many wanted to rush out, but they were held down by their fellow disciples.

The disciples who were holding people down also had veins bulging on their foreheads, and they were suppressing their anger as much as they could to prevent it from truly erupting!

The closer the blue feather flew, the smaller it became, until it disappeared.

Wu Shaogan embraced Zhong Cai, and the two hid in a pavilion that had been partially cut off. It was quite a distance from the mountain peak, but they could already see the scene on the other side clearly.

Zhong Cai's eyes widened, and she gripped Wu Shaogan's arm tightly.

Oh shit!

It was truly a heretical rebirth, and they were even slowly dismembering a kind-looking old man!

The old man was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage, and the sect leader's token of the Qinghe Sect hung at his waist—his identity was self-evident.

Xie Dao Nirvana was a charming woman with a thin, eerie green knife held between her slender fingers. At this moment, she was leisurely slicing off pieces of flesh from the Qinghe Sect Master.

Logically speaking, once the physical body reaches the seventh level of strength, even if flesh is cut off, it shouldn't be too painful. However, with each cut of this evil Nirvana, the Qinghe Sect Master's face would twitch slightly, and his body would tense up.

Clearly, this eerie green dagger was no ordinary object; each cut it inflicted great pain on the Qinghe Sect Master.

At this moment, half of the Qinghe Sect Master's body had been reduced to a skeleton, with his internal organs still pulsating with vitality. On the other half of his body, most of his skin had been peeled off...

One can only imagine the immense suffering this sect leader endured!

But he remained silent.

No matter how the evil Nirvana technique was cutting him, no matter how much pain his body was in, he didn't utter a single cry of pain—but even if he didn't make a sound, he couldn't hide it from the Qinghe Sect disciples on the mountain.

These disciples watched helplessly as their sect leader was humiliated, yet they couldn't break through—this mountain peak was the main inner peak of the Qinghe Sect, the place where the sect leader once lived and taught. That's why so many offensive and defensive measures were set up; it was the last line of defense to preserve the sect's heritage!

If the Qinghe Sect disciples couldn't resist rushing out, the entire mountain would fall into enemy hands, and everyone else would die.

But if they just watch like this...

The sect leader of Qinghe Sect, being the one with the highest cultivation level in the sect, stayed behind to cover the retreat in order to restrain the evil Nirvana Sect and allow other disciples to successfully infiltrate the main peak. That's why he was captured.

How could the disciples not be in pain upon witnessing this scene!

Torture, unbearable torment.

No one knows how much longer they can hold on.

They didn't want to see their sect leader like this, but if they didn't see it, how could they remember the hatred they felt at that moment?

The disciples of Qinghe Sect had never felt such darkness before.

·

Zhong Cai could see that the main peak's defenses had reached the peak of level eight, demonstrating the immense effort and sacrifice the Qinghe Sect had made. However, this defense wasn't without flaws; if even one person emerged from within, a small opening would appear for a fleeting moment—

This minor flaw would normally be no big deal, as it appears only for a very short time, so short that it would be completely restored in the blink of an eye before many cultivators could even notice it.

However, for the heretical Nirvana, this flaw was enough for her to exploit to break through the entire defense.

At that time, all the Qinghe Sect disciples will be her prey!

She tormented the Qinghe Sect Master in this way precisely to provoke the disciples of the Qinghe Sect.

Even if most of the disciples could endure it, not everyone was necessarily strong-willed. It was quite normal for a few to be unable to bear watching the sect leader being humiliated and tortured, and to run away in a fit of rage.

Moreover, by this point, more and more Qinghe Sect disciples are relying on their fellow disciples with strong wills to stop them.

Wait until some more time...

There's no rush for those who seek nirvana through heresy.

After all, she is in Nirvana. Even if ordinary cultivators came, what could they do to her?

Instead, we gave her more blood and meat.

This heretical rebirth, the Lingchi sect leader's movements became even more elegant.

She may have used some technique, because the veins on the side of the Qinghe Sect Master's neck bulged, and he was in even more pain than before!

·

Zhong Cai couldn't stand it anymore.

Wu Shaogan patted Zhong Cai to calm her down.

Zhong Cai then realized that she had almost exploded with anger without even realizing it.

He said in a low voice, "I'll have the Dragon Armor Soldiers take action."

Wu Shaogan nodded: "Release them all."

He knew very well that his Ah Cai wanted the Dragon Armor Soldier to save people—he simply couldn't bear to see such a sect leader, who cared so much for his disciples, die such a shameful death at the hands of the evil sect.

Therefore, the Dragon Armor Soldiers should work together to block other evil cultivators, deal with Nirvana evil cultivators, and rescue people when the opportunity arises.

The two of them have a total of five peak-level dragon armor soldiers at their disposal.

One of them was borrowed by that brat Wu Dongxiao, while the remaining four stayed with the couple.

The other dragon armor soldiers are fed to the maximum level and then start colliding and fusing with each other, trying to create a second mutated dragon armor soldier.

...It hasn't been successful yet.

·

Zhong Cai nodded solemnly upon hearing Wu Shaogan's words.

Then, four peak-level dragon armor soldiers appeared in perfect formation, transforming into four streaks of light and rushing out at lightning speed!

In an instant! They split up and acted in different directions!

One of them immediately began a massacre of the other evil cultivators—several hundred of them were located at the foot of the mountain, most of whom were palace builders, and there were at least a dozen spirit cultivators.

They sensed a terrifying pressure sweeping in and quickly retaliated, but how could they withstand the dragon-armored soldiers who were comparable to Nirvana?

Naturally, they had no chance to resist and a large number of them died quickly.

Two more dragon-armored soldiers directly attacked the Nirvana heretic.

Nirvana Evil Path was just easily cutting through the enemy lines when she sensed an attack coming from both sides, about to strike her instantly!

She originally wanted to crush the Qinghe Sect Master first, but she quickly realized that if she did that, she would be caught in the gap and suffer a double attack. So she had no choice but to let go immediately and at the same time use her palms to unleash their maximum energy to strike both sides!

Two extremely powerful forces struck her palms and penetrated her body, intersecting and causing her great harm.

The evil path of Nirvana caused his internal organs to tremble, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood!

Oh no! I've suffered internal injuries!

The evil Nirvana sensed that the two energies attacking her were coming at her again from both sides. She knew that she could not fight them both head-on, so she twisted her body and quickly dodged away.

Those two forces, like a persistent carbuncle, followed closely behind.

At this moment, the last dragon-armored soldier suddenly appeared behind the Qinghe Sect Master, carefully supporting him with a gentle force without touching any part of his body, and the energy released was not aggressive at all... Apart from the pain brought by being slowly sliced ​​to death, the Qinghe Sect Master was not affected by this force in any other way.

On the mountain peak, the eyes of many Qinghe Sect disciples lit up.

They've been saved!

Someone has come to rescue their sect leader!

Everyone saw a pair of young cultivators suddenly appear before the mountain peak.

One was elegant and handsome, but his eyes were devoid of any emotion. The other was pretty and lively, glaring fiercely at Xie Dao Nirvana with a burning rage on his face.

These two...

For some of the higher-ranking disciples, the taller one looked quite familiar.

Then, a spirit recognized it.

It's Wu Shaogan, Wu Douwang!

The person next to him was naturally his Daoist partner, King Zhong Dan.

As if to prove this point, the handsome young man glared at the evil Nirvana, then quickly came to the Qinghe Sect Master, took out a pill, and sent it to his lips from a distance.

Many disciples recognized it as a Level 7 Immortal Ganoderma Pill!

This elixir is said to be made from various kinds of immortal fungi. After taking it, cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage can heal all internal and external injuries and fully recover in a very short time.

After the Qinghe Sect Master swallowed the pill with difficulty, in the eyes of all the Qinghe Sect disciples, the flesh on his skeleton began to grow rapidly. In just a few breaths, it covered the bones and gradually expanded to form limbs...

The Qinghe Sect Master's complexion visibly improved.

His face was deathly pale, his complexion was extremely bad, and he was covered in sweat.

But now, the Qinghe Sect Master has gradually stopped feeling pain and is slowly returning to normal...

All the Qinghe Sect disciples breathed a sigh of relief, and then almost burst into tears of joy.

It's so good that the sect leader is alright!

How lucky they were to actually meet King Zhong Dan!

Elder Hualing sighed inwardly.

King Zhong Dan was truly kind; the Immortal Ganoderma Pill he offered was probably a top-grade elixir.

Even though this elixir is extremely effective, only the highest quality can truly repair their sect leader in such a short time.

The sect leader... at least he has some luck.
