Chapter 1421 - The Wiped-Out Army

With the Tumulus Pill God’s age, his lifebound beasts had also long since gone past their peak. Even so, they still seemed like the kings of avian and terrestrial beasts. They combined the advantages of lions and eagles. In the sky or on the land, these were war gods among lifebound beasts!

As for him, after he had grown to over ten meters tall, his eight ears were obvious. It was the eight-ears talent of the wargodeans, which was an innate gift for combat that could push their echolocation to a terrifying level and give them even greater combat ability. No sound in the battlefield could escape his notice.

With his long spear and giant cauldron, and commanding five nine-headed war griffons, it was clear that the previous War God hadn’t lost his sharpness yet.

This clash left Yun Tianque unable to breathe.

“Don’t resist!” The Tumulus Pill God knocked aside countless cultivators protecting Yun Tianque, seizing the initiative.

A handsome and cold middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Yun Tianque and his gaze stabbed into the Tumulus Pill God like sharp swords. At the same time, eight shadows appeared by the man’s side—they were darknight truefiends! When they appeared, the surrounding area was immediately plunged into darkness. In the dark, the horned figures with their blood-red eyes and giant, beast-like claws looked especially frightening.

“Yang Ce!” The Tumulus Pill God’s eyes narrowed. He couldn’t understand what he was seeing. Yang Ce was from the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect, what was he doing here? His instincts suddenly screamed danger and he turned around. Many experts had surrounded him. Long Wanying, Yan Wuxia.… Them being with Yang Ce was normal. But why was Gujian Qingshuang there? Even the Snowsun Quadspecters were preparing to fight the Tumulus Pill God!

“You all?” The Tumulus Pill God shook. He smelled a conspiracy, but his mind was a mess.

They all coldly looked at him. “Tumulus Pill God, you had a high prestige and commanded universal respect. Yet you chose to become a lapdog of the celestial orderians. That is… unacceptable,” Long Wanying said.

“You and Yun Tianque!” The Tumulus Pill God stared with wide eyes as his heart pounded. He still didn’t get it.

Yun Tianque and Gujian Qingshuang were generational foes! How could they be here, standing side by side? How did Gujian Qingshuang dare to come into the Supracloud Sanctuary’s formation by himself? Why were the Snowsun Quadspecters serving them? He didn’t get it! He couldn't see Tianming, who was spectating the battle from afar.

No one would solve his confusion.

“Interesting,” the Tumulus Pill God couldn’t help but laugh.

Long Wanying looked outside and said, “Let me tell you some good news. Right now, Li Wushuang is trying to bring two hundred thousand people north to escape. They’re already at the gates of the Supracloud Sanctuary. However, the Northdipper Swordsage brought people to block them and their path. They’re currently surrounded by an army of a million cultivators, so your current last ditch effort is meaningless. Don’t you have eight ears? Can you hear the wailing of your hundred thousand wargodeans outside?”

The Tumulus Pill God felt his heart clench. No matter how good his hearing was, he couldn’t hear anything from outside the formation. Long Wanying was mocking him, so he wouldn’t believe her!

“Wretched woman, stop lying. How could you all stop her if Lady Wushuang wanted to bring people away? You think some words are enough to scare me?” the Tumulus Pill God coldly laughed, but he felt like countless ants were crawling over his heart.

“Look behind you!”

Battle had already erupted in the formation. With a ten-to-one disadvantage, the wargodeans could only flee.

“Inside, outside, all you all know how to do is run,” Long Wanying said.

“Bastards!” The Tumulus Pill God was furious. “In the past, would a bunch of incapable children like you have dared to surround me?”

“Why talk about the past? Accept your fate!” Long Wanying said. She exchanged a glance with her team; none of them would care about fairness when it came to the Tumulus Pill God.

“All of you come at me together!” The Tumulus Pill God’s status was nothing like Lan Sha’s. He was someone whom all wargodeans respected and was the strongest opponent they had besieged so far.

From afar, Tianming felt his heart pound. Could they succeed? At least it would be hard for the Tumulus Pill God to escape now that he had entered the formation.

The darknight truefiends and nine-headed war griffons started attacking each other. The battle between gold and black tore apart the clouds, forcing Tianming to retreat.

“Yin Chen, what’s the status outside?” Tianming asked.

“All is… under control...” Yin Chen proudly said.

“Speak clearly!”

“They have… countless casualties….”

How many exactly were countless? Tianming looked at the edges of the formation; he wanted to see it personally.

“To seize this continent, I need to chase away the invaders. Goodbye, wargodeans and Blueblood Starocean!”

……

Smoke and blood filled the air as a rain of fire fell from the fiery clouds above to meet the bloody mist on the battlefield. The rain of fire caused the pools of blood on the ground to boil and release blood-red vapor that filled the air with a stench.

“This way, Lady Wushuang!” Among the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, a small group was cutting through the bloodsoaked battlefield. It was Li Wushuang and her fourteen aides. Even now, they were still orbiting around her. If they flew, they would definitely be faster. However, they would be a target, so they stuck to the ground and tried to leave inconspicuously.

There was a crunch as Li Wushuang stepped on a fallen leaf, cracking a corpse’s arm bone hidden underneath. She remained expressionless as she continued on.

“Lady Wushuang, don’t be angry. It doesn’t matter. It isn’t like these are losses for our celestial orderians. They’re just some wargodeans and Blueblood Starocean cultivators. They’re servants of the emperor, so some of them dying doesn’t really matter.”

“Right, right. His Solar majesty won’t blame you.”

“The Northdipper Swordsage is too hateful. The Sky Palace, Dreamless Celestial Nation, and the Voidword Shrine haven’t even dared to speak up, but he still ran here to show off. That moron is seeking death.”

“When His Solar Majesty hears of this, he’ll definitely wipe out the Empyrean Sword Sect to help you vent.”

“In this situation, they’re so surrounded that even ten thousand of this two hundred thousand escaping would be a miracle. Let’s forget about them and leave faster!”

“Yes, your safety is the most important thing.”

Her entourage continued comforting Li Wushuang.

“Quiet. The next one to speak will lose their tongue.” Li Wushuang’s voice was utterly sinister. She didn’t sympathize with the dead; however, this sort of failure would mark her for the rest of her life.

Her attendants hurriedly shut up.

However, at that moment, a mob of several hundred rushed out. In the lead was a bloodsoaked Wind Swordlord. From how he looked, he had participated in a massacre. Even if he hadn’t slain a thousand, he had at least slain eight hundred. When he laid eyes on Li Wushuang, he gulped. He immediately used a divine ordered tome to send out a flare that lit up the sky, signaling Li Wushuang’s position! Countless people quickly surged in his direction, barring their path.

“How did he find us when we were so stealthy?” Li Wushuang frowned.

Her group was actually almost out of the battlefield. It seemed that the Wind Swordlord had known their location.

“That’s true!”

The way forward was swarming with people.

“It’s Li Wushuang!”

“Stop her!”

“Kill her!”

The sight of so many randoms looking at her with murder in their eyes made Li Wushuang coldly sneer. However, she was undeniably very irritated.

“Which of you betrayed me? Step out.” Li Wushuang looked at those around her with contempt.

They were all stunned. They didn’t know why the Snowsun Quadspecters had betrayed them, either. Due to that betrayal, Li Wushuang assumed one of them had leaked the information.

But in truth, the real reason was that Yin Chen was tracking them. Tianming had then used someone’s transmission stone to give the Wind Swordlord her location. The result was all Yin Chen’s merit.

There were at least eighty thousand people heading this way right now.

“Li Wushuang is here!”

“Stop her!”

Such shouts could be heard everywhere. These people didn’t show any mercy and directly charged in for the kill. However, ordinary people couldn’t pose a threat to Li Wushuang. She would have died long ago otherwise.

“What do we do now, Lady Wushuang? There are so many.” Some of her attendants started getting anxious.

“Shut up! Just kill them all! How dare they raise a hand against Lady Wushuang?”

At that moment, several attacks from lifebound beasts were lobbed toward Li Wushuang. This was a war! Even if Li Wushuang wouldn’t die in the end, her entourage might not survive.

“Kill our way out!” They sped up and finally managed to leave behind the forest and arrive at a vast lake. This was the northmost part of the Azurecloud Continent. Any farther and they would be in celestial orderian territory.

However, when they reached the lakeshore, they found over ten thousand swordpupils floating above the lake. And at their center was a man with a stone-like body wearing a mask and gently smiling at them.

He was the Northdipper Swordsage!
