Chapter 850: Breaking Into the City

As one of the 3 strongest factions of the Azure Flame World, the minimum they had was to control a complete Holy Land.

Speaking of the 3 strongest factions in the Azure Flame World, they were the Yanlin Clan of the Southern Yanlin Continent, the Yuancang Clan from the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent, and the Chenwu Clan from the Western Wenchen Continent.

Under Kou Chongxue’s lead, everyone from the Azure Ascension World passed through the heavenly screen to enter the Southern Yanlin Continent.

Even though the various powers failed to stop the mysterious group of foreign experts from entering their world, it didn’t mean that they would let their guards down and let the outsiders do whatever they wished.

The strength of the outsiders left a trace of fear in the hearts of those in the Azure Flame World, but they still sent their experts over in secret to spy on them. To them, the most important thing they wanted to know was the true motive of the outsiders.

Some of the sharper ones might have thought of gathering all the experts in the Azure Flame World to resist or drive out the outsiders, but it was a mere thought in their minds. If they really wanted to achieve something like that, it would take a lot more than what they were currently thinking about. After all, the Azure Flame World never had the experience of gathering all the experts in their world. If they really wanted to try, who would have the authority and prestige to band them all together?

Perhaps, there would be hope if the 3 strongest powers of the Azure Flame World banded together and tried to push for it, but the situation stood as such. The Yanlin Clan wasn’t well received due to its reclusive and exclusive nature. There might be many powers who might be gloating silently now that the outsiders had descended onto the Southern Yanlin Continent and were waiting to watch them embarrass themselves. Not many would provide their assistance at that point.

Moreover, they felt that no matter how great the scale of battle in the Southern Yanlin Continent, as long as the outsiders didn’t step into the other continents, none of them would be affected.

None of them gave a shit about what happened to the Southern Yanlin Continent.

The only ones who actually tried anything were the Yuancang Clan in the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent. They were extremely wary of the outsiders. The Eastern Nuanyuan Continent was the most prosperous among the continents and thus possessed the greatest strength. Unfortunately, the relationships there were pretty complicated. Even if the Yuancang Clan wanted to help, they didn’t have the ability to. They could only maintain their stance and watch as the situation unfolded. They would only provide limited assistance if they felt that the situation reached a critical point.

As for the Chenwu Clan, their peak-tier Martial Sage and clan leader, Chen Baixing, was killed by Kou Chongxue above the heavenly screen. Their hatred for the outsiders should be the most and they shouldn’t rest till they take revenge. Unfortunately, the situation was far from that. After Chen Baixing’s death, the Martial Sages who had the authority to fight for the position of clan leader were awfully busy fighting over the position. The high-level experts of the clan were still trying to sort themselves out and none of them could be bothered with what was happening in the Southern Yanlin Continent.

Even if they finally decided to get revenge for their late clan leader, they would probably have to wait till a new leader was elected and quelled the inner strife in the clan before they could take action.

Whatever it was, the powers of the Azure Flame World were unable to band together to deal with the outsiders at the moment. At the end of the day, it was because they had no idea what was going to happen next and their opponent’s true goal.

It was a shame. They would probably only start to band together after all of them suffered greatly from the invasion of the outsiders when their world was damaged...

Then again, would the experienced experts of the Azure Ascension World give them a chance to do so?

...

Outside the Yanlin City.

When Kou Chongxue and the others arrived, the Yanlin City’s grand formation was already active.

After the battle above the heavenly screen, the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World numbered slightly more than 30. There might only be 10 of them who arrived first, but they brought with them a whole bunch of Martial Extermination Realm experts.

“Huh? Where’s the Shang Kid who was confident about breaking the barrier? Why haven’t we seen him?” Yifeng shook his head in an exaggerated motion. He started to look in all directions, but he failed to catch sight of Shang Xia.

Yi Jingxu stared at the runes that were shining on the city walls and he muttered in a soft voice, “Looks like things will get troublesome. Their protection formation is clearly different from that of our Azure Ascension World.”

Glancing at Kou Chongxue who still seemed exceptionally calm, Yi Jingxu turned to the others and spoke, “Everyone, we brought many experts well-versed in the art of formations. Please take a look and evaluate the foundation of the formation around the city.”

The Martial Extermination Realm experts they brought were naturally Formation Grandmasters, and Chu Jia was a part of them. After a short discussion, one of the Formation Grandmasters whose cultivation stood above the rest in the Martial Dipper Realm spoke. “We will need to personally observe the strength of the formation before we can come to any conclusions!”

A frown formed on Yi Jingxu’s face, but another Martial Dipper Realm expert beside him muttered, “Which means we need to launch an attack on it, right? Alright, it’s easy then! Let this old man test it out for you!”

Yi Jingxu knew the person who spoke, and he was called Xun Yingsheng. He was from the Lushan Sect of the Yang Continent, and he was a second element Martial Dipper Realm expert.

“Let’s do it together. It’s said that there are 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts in the city and there might be more in hiding. We will attack different points in the formation so as not to fall into their trap.” This time, Mister Tian Jun from the Tianjun Palace was the one who spoke. The Dongjun Palace was from the Ye Continent, and Tian Jun was also a second element Martial Dipper Realm expert.

After they spoke, they started to rush at the Yanlin City from different directions.

When Tian Jun made his move, a seemingly ordinary black sword appeared in his hand as he swung it horizontally. He was using the inheritance sword art from the Dongjun Palace, the Great Heavenly Sword Art, and his sword qi swept at the barrier with an unstoppable momentum. From the looks of it, his style of fighting with the sword seemed similar to Huang Jinghan.

On the other side, Xun Yingsheng yelled before sending a giant palm light flying at the city.

When they made their moves, they deliberately avoided the city walls as they tried to make their attacks land in the city itself.

Who would have thought that the next moment, the 2 of them would feel their visions blurring? The city walls seemed to reach a massive scale that made them seem like ants. They felt as though they were staring at the walls of heaven after launching their attacks.

Without any fanfare, their attacks slammed into the walls.

Rumble... Rumble...

Loud blasts rang through the air as runes started to flash on the walls. The attacks they sent were gradually nullified as the energy was spread across the wall.

In the end, they managed to leave behind a 3 foot long scratch and a tiny palm print on the city walls.

“What’s going on?”

Obviously, the other experts wouldn’t think that the 2 of them would be unable to control their attacks to the point they would miss their target and smash it into the wall. Questions quickly flew their way.

Tian Jun frowned and explained what he felt while Xun Yingsheng agreed at the side. Their expressions were ugly.

The Formation Grandmasters immediately broke out into discussion.

The next moment, a bold voice rang from inside the city. “Martial Sages who come from another world, why would you raise your weapons against my Yanlin Clan the moment you arrive? All of you traveled so far in the sea of stars... If there’s anything my Yanlin Clan can help you with, why can’t we settle it over a nice chat? The Southern Yanlin Continent is massive and it’s more than enough land for us to coexist peacefully!”

Yi Jingxu looked at Kou Chongxue and Yifeng who could be said to be in charge of the entire operation and he couldn’t help but remind them, “I feel like he’s just trying to buy some time...”

Cao Xinyang from the Zhenyang Gate couldn’t help but add, “If our little friend from the You Continent isn’t continent in breaking the formation, there’s no point for us to conceal ourselves any longer! We should go all out and shatter the formation. The longer this drags out, the greater the possibility we will have to face the reinforcements from the other continents!”

Cao Xinyang’s words barely left his lips when a deep rumble came from beneath the city. The sturdy wall started to shake. Under the looks of amazement of everyone present, it collapsed!
