"Damn it! How did that old bastard catch up with us?!"
Xiang Yu cried out in alarm as his giant sword shattered into a pile of iron filings, gathering the essence of the Soul River and completing his mission.
"You're fast, so take the supplies and evacuate with Mulan first!"
He gritted his teeth, his body entwined with a black dragon, and the red lotus mark nurtured in his eyes shone brightly!
The Ghost Palace transformed into a streak of black light and darted into the Azure Sparrow Terrace. The latter broke free from the giant's grasp and immediately fled.
"Hahaha, Seventh Saint, come and fight!"
As demonic energy surged and vengeful ghosts howled, Xiang Yu, who had shattered the void, let out a wild laugh, clenched his fists, and exuded a majestic and domineering aura.
His opponent was a tall man clad in golden armor, with a halo rotating behind his head and a head of holy silver hair flowing freely, exuding an aura no less imposing than Xiang Yu's.
"Damn it, it's the saints again!"
The cardinal cursed inwardly, but remained calm.
The opponent is a half-step legend at the peak of the Saint Realm. His domain can materialize, and the human soul he nurtures is moving further towards the divine soul. Interfering with the material world and distorting spiritual will are not a problem for him.
"Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes, so we must retreat as soon as possible. However, we can accept the extra divine palace to strengthen our foundation."
The cardinal lowered his clenched fist, thinking to himself, but then frowned. Refining the Ironblood Fortress seemed to be going too smoothly.
His expression changed from joy to contemplation.
If Zi You were present, she would surely be able to uncover the cause and effect and detect the hidden scheme.
"Could it be..."
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The divine palace, built primarily of holy steel, was filled with a rich sacred aura, yet it had no effect on him whatsoever.
"As expected, there's something wrong with this shrine."
The cardinal thought to himself, and the next moment, he steered the temple into a crashing attack on the surrounding escort warships.
Instantly, amidst the expressions of horror, shock, and disbelief on the faces of those around, flames engulfed the entire warship, and the Ironblood Fortress, swallowed by smoke and dust, continued its relentless ramming into another ship.
The first to notice the changes at Ironforge was an inside agent planted within the Dawn faction, who alerted him through special means.
"What a grand gesture! To gift a temple, they deliberately sent a cardinal to his death. If I accept it, I'll find the Dawn Clan's hidden scheme within, allowing me to trace our headquarters and then make targeted plans."
The cardinal sneered, his eyes reflecting the raging flames and the silhouettes of hundreds of people flying to safety.
In the next instant, he controlled the divine palace to charge forward, disregarding the risk of exposure, determined to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
He was not good at fighting, but he was proficient in spying, infiltration, theft, and infiltration, which brought unimaginable trouble to the Dawn lineage.
The three sequences for refining are: the God of Mischief's [Rampaging Shepherd] and [Lucky Thief], and the God of Deception's [Liar].
"Xiang Yu, do not linger in battle!"
Mulan let out a long howl, her hair fluttering, and she condensed golden light into cannons, which roared and forced back the advancing temple knights.
With a flick of her slender hand, the golden blade stirred up a storm, its sharpness fully revealed, shattering the dark sky and wounding many powerful enemies.
With a sharp cry, she unleashed a hundred-foot-long city-breaking hammer, blasting away a large number of powerful figures. The resulting attack caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and the darkness to dissipate.
"puff!"
Xiang Yu was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood and three teeth.
In order to intercept the saints' offensive and protect the fleeing Qingquetai, he was severely beaten, not only by the saints but also by the warships that secretly fired cannons.
Fortunately, he cultivated the path of Qi and Blood, making him tough and resilient, a tank with high HP and defense.
"Walk!"
A long bridge lies across the water, its reflection shrouded in mist.
On the night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, the bright moon pierced the darkness. Mulan struck the Qingque Terrace, which was a hundred times taller than herself, with a single palm strike. In a dizzying moment, she was sent inside.
Fu Qing: "..." (Dizziness + convulsions + epilepsy)
"Bang!"
A shield blocked the sharp force of the fist. Mulan clashed with the saint. Thunder rumbled and the void exploded. Even the warships that were affected by the blast were blown away.
She snorted coldly, a flash of bloodlust appearing in her bright eyes.
A red lotus petal appeared on her snow-white forehead, her combat power soared, and she forced the saints to retreat.
"The Crimson Lotus Mark!"
The saint snorted coldly and made a grabbing motion with his empty hand. Under the suppression of Hei Tian, he was unable to seal off the void and could not unleash his original power.
He worshipped the Goddess of Dawn, but the Black Heaven, who nurtured his soul, was extremely restrained by him, causing his combat power, which was at the half-step legendary level, to plummet by a level.
"Yangguan Road!"
As the golden rays of dawn appeared, a golden road stretched across the dark sky. The Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Bright Moon followed the sunlit path, evading the saints' pursuit, and slipped to the other side.
Then, Mulan's figure dissipated, and her true form stepped into the divine palace!
On the white jade bridge, water vapor surged and condensed into a secret attack technique.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In an instant, a dense mist erupted, gushing forth like a white waterfall, as if condensed sword energy, vast and mighty, washing away everything!
Even the dark clouds of the night sky were sliced away, revealing the sword's sharpness and brilliance!
"Sword Waterfall?!"
The saint was taken aback, but faced with this terrifyingly powerful attack, he gritted his teeth and charged forward.
He never expected that what he thought would be a simple ambush would result in catching so many big fish, including a great white shark.
"World-Shaking Holy Fist!"
With a single punch, a burst of magnificent golden flames erupted, but under the suppression of the darkness, its power was weakened by thirty percent.
Furthermore, more than a dozen powerful soul beasts suddenly appeared from the surrounding area, attracted by the holy light, and looked at the saint with greed in their eyes.
"Darkness is not conducive to combat, not to mention, the main mission is not to intercept them, so it's not worth me risking my life to snipe them."
