Outside the Spirit Ruins Market, armies from forces such as the Blood Blade Sect and the Purgatory Demon Sect surged in like a tidal wave. Inside the market, everyone was already on high alert. The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect swiftly formed the "Phantom Thousand Swords" formation, with countless sword shadows and crisscrossing sword energy, gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
"The enemy is coming! Everyone, hold the sword formation steady and follow my command!" The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect shouted loudly from the front of the sword formation. The sword cultivators looked serious, channeling their spiritual energy into their swords, ready to meet the enemy at any moment.
The disciples of Wanbaoge manipulated various magical artifacts. The "Purifying Spirit Banner" fluttered at key points, emitting powerful purifying energy. The "Heaven and Earth Gathering Spirit Tower" shone brightly, its multicolored spiritual energy beams shooting towards the enemies charging at the forefront. The Blood Blade Sect disciples were struck by the spiritual energy beams, letting out screams of pain, their offensive momentarily halted.
"Hmph, is that all you've got? Charge! Break through their lines!" The Bloodblade Sect Master roared, brandishing his Bloodblade Staff. Driven by him, the Bloodblade Sect disciples disregarded casualties and charged towards the Spirit Ruins Market once more.
Meanwhile, the sect leader of the Purgatory Demon Sect stood at the rear of the group, chanting incantations. Suddenly, a black rift appeared in the sky, from which countless hellish demons poured out. These demons, with ferocious faces and baring their fangs and claws, pounced towards the Spirit Ruins Market. They exuded a strong evil aura, and wherever they passed, flowers and plants withered instantly.
"Not good! It's the evil spirits of the Purgatory Demon Sect! Activate the 'Purifying Spirit Banner' to subdue them!" the Pavilion Master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion shouted. The "Purifying Spirit Banner" shone brightly, its purifying power sweeping towards the evil spirits like an invisible storm. Under the impact of the purifying power, the evil spirits let out painful howls, and some of the weaker ones simply vanished into thin air.
The logistics personnel and healing cultivators organized by the Linghe Chamber of Commerce were also busy. They moved across the battlefield, providing timely medical treatment to wounded sword cultivators and Wanbaoge disciples. At the same time, the guild's experts used various spells to assist in the defense. Some used spells to create sturdy earthen walls to block the enemy's attack; others used mental interference spells to disturb the enemy's mind.
However, the Bloodblade Alliance's offensive was simply too fierce. Despite the valiant resistance of the people in the Spirit Ruins Market, some enemies managed to break through the defenses and rush into the market. Shouts of battle erupted throughout the Spirit Ruins Market, and residents scrambled to take refuge in the fortified defensive structures they had prepared beforehand.
Lin Yang, sword in hand, moved with effortless skill through the enemy ranks. His swordsmanship was exquisite; each strike was enough to kill an enemy. "Don't panic, everyone! We can definitely hold the Lingxu Market!" Lin Yang shouted, boosting the morale of his men.
In the midst of fierce battle, a young swordsman from the Spirit Sword Sect was unfortunately struck by a master from the Blood Blade Sect. He coughed up blood, yet still gripped his sword tightly. "I cannot fall, the Spirit Ruins Market needs me!" The young swordsman gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and charged at the enemy once more.
While manipulating a magical artifact, a disciple of Wanbaoge was ambushed by a stray demon. The demon's claws scratched his back, but he ignored the pain and continued to use the artifact to attack the enemy. "For the Spirit Ruins Market, we'll fight to the death!" the disciple roared.
The president of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce also joined the battle. He unleashed the chamber's ultimate technique, sending out threads of spiritual energy that tightly bound the enemy. "Evil forces, cease your arrogance!" the president roared.
Just as everyone in the Lingxu Market was locked in a fierce battle, shouts of battle suddenly rang out from afar. It turned out that reinforcements from friendly forces in the surrounding area, contacted by the Linghe Chamber of Commerce, had arrived. They descended like a divine army, launching an attack on the Bloodblade Alliance from behind.
"Reinforcements have arrived! Everyone, cheer up and counterattack!" Lin Yang was overjoyed to see the reinforcements and immediately ordered a counterattack. The morale of the people in Lingxu Market soared, and they launched a full-scale counterattack against the Bloodblade Alliance, working in tandem with the reinforcements. The Bloodblade Alliance, attacked from both sides, was thrown into disarray. How would this fierce battle end? Could Lingxu Market successfully repel the enemy and protect their homeland? Everything remained uncertain amidst this tense battle.
