The battle in the Lingxu Market intensified, with everyone struggling to hold on against a powerful enemy. Just when the situation seemed hopeless, a turning point suddenly appeared.
A trading caravan previously dispatched by the Linghe Merchant Guild, upon hearing news of the attack on the Lingxu Market on its return journey, immediately rushed to provide support. The caravan not only included the guild's elite guards but also carried a large number of special magical artifacts acquired through trade with other factions.
This fresh force, like a sharp blade, plunged straight into the flank of the enemy attacking the eastern side of the Lingxu Market. The guild's elite guards were agile, unleashing fierce spells. In an instant, light flashed, the "Whirlwind Spell" whipped up a gale that sent the enemy staggering about, and the "Falling Rocks Spell" summoned boulders that rained down on the enemy ranks.
At the same time, they took out their newly acquired magical artifact—the "Sky-Splitting Crossbow." This artifact resembled a giant crossbow, and the bolts it fired contained powerful spiritual energy capable of tearing through space. With each twang of the bowstring, the bolts shot towards the enemy like meteors, exploding in the enemy ranks with astonishing power, throwing the enemy into immediate chaos.
The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect in the east were greatly encouraged by the arrival of reinforcements. Their sword formation intensified once more, and the sword cultivators roared in unison, their sword energy surging like a tidal wave towards the enemy. Caught in a pincer attack, the enemy forces attacking the east gradually could not withstand the onslaught and began to show signs of collapse.
Almost simultaneously, a group of young cultivators spontaneously organized themselves within the Lingxu Market. Although their cultivation levels were relatively low, they were driven by a firm belief in protecting their homeland, and they took up arms and joined the battle. Led by experts from the Linghe Merchant Guild, these young cultivators formed small teams to search for hidden enemies within the market.
Using their familiarity with the market's terrain, they maneuvered through alleys and corners, outmaneuvering the enemy. A young cultivator spotted several enemies preparing to ambush the defenders. He quietly circled behind them and cast a "sleeping spell," successfully putting one of the enemies to sleep. Seeing this, his companions swarmed in and subdued the group of enemies.
Inside the Wanbao Pavilion, the Pavilion Master, after urgent research, successfully improved a magical artifact specifically designed to counter flying monsters—the "Spirit Magnetic Flying Net." He quickly led a group of disciples to the western battlefield and put the "Spirit Magnetic Flying Net" into use.
This flying net was made of a special magnetic material, radiating a powerful magnetic force. As soon as it was cast, it instantly covered a large area, attracting flying monsters who struggled and fell into its trap. The more they struggled, the tighter the net tightened. Taking advantage of this, the disciples of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion used other magical artifacts to attack the trapped monsters, who plummeted to the ground with painful roars.
Seeing that attacks from several directions were being thwarted, the Bloodblade Sect Master was extremely anxious. Ignoring the sword formations of the Spirit Sword Sect cultivators, he recklessly charged towards the core of the Spirit Ruins Market, attempting to directly destroy its central hub and achieve a swift victory.
Lin Yang sensed the Blood Blade Sect Master's intention and immediately stepped forward. The sword in Lin Yang's hand shone brightly as he unleashed his unique swordsmanship, each move imbued with powerful spiritual energy, engaging in a fierce duel with the Blood Blade Sect Master.
The Bloodblade Sect Master brandished his longsword, creating streaks of crimson light, each strike deadly. Lin Yang, on the other hand, moved with agility, skillfully dodging the attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. The battle between the two was incredibly fierce, spiritual energy overflowing, leaving the surrounding ground utterly devastated.
In the fierce exchange, Lin Yang gradually discovered a flaw in the Blood Blade Sect Master's swordsmanship. He seized the opportunity, and as the Blood Blade Sect Master swung his sword again, Lin Yang dodged the attack, while his sword flashed out like lightning, accurately piercing the Blood Blade Sect Master's arm.
The Bloodblade Sect Master was injured in the arm and nearly dropped his longsword. He was both shocked and furious, and was about to launch a stronger attack regardless of the consequences when the Spirit Sword Sect elders led the sword cultivators to arrive and surrounded him.
"You are in dire straits, why don't you surrender!" the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect shouted.
The Bloodblade Sect Master looked around and saw his subordinates trapped in various battlefields, knowing that the situation was hopeless. Although he was unwilling, in order to save his life, he could only use the Blood Escape Technique, transforming into a streak of blood light and escaping the battlefield.
Seeing the Bloodblade Sect Master escape, the morale of the other allied forces plummeted, and they lost the will to fight, beginning their retreat. The people of the Spirit Ruins Market pressed their advantage, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.
This sudden crisis was finally resolved thanks to everyone's concerted efforts. Cheers erupted in the Lingxu Market, and people embraced and wept.
