Chapter 2016: 834, fight to the death, you’re not worthy yet
“`
The sword array’s power, being able to change so unpredictably, to deal with the ferocious assault of the Heavenly Demonic Beasts in unimaginable ways.
It wasn’t about clashing head-on with the powerful Heavenly Demonic Beasts, but rather avoiding a confrontation at the level of rules.
It presented its own weakness, without the slightest fear.
Whether it’s an illusion array or the operation of the power of heaven and earth, it’s all dancing on the edge of a blade.
A single mistake, and it would spell the annihilation of an entire city.
If that great dragon in the sky managed to descend, all the sword cultivators of Nine Mysteries City would die.
To dare to confront an enemy with such methods, one must either be a true top-tier powerhouse or a madman.
And to put their lives in the hands of such a person, everyone in Nine Mysteries City is a madman!
These crazy sword cultivators!
In the void, the Eight Desolations Sword Formation spun, beginning to grind away at the Heavenly Demonic Beasts above the sky.
Leaving the strongest second-grade Heavenly Demonic Beasts aside, the weaker ones under the scattered sword light all burst into pieces.
This process was the cooperation of one sword cultivator after another.
At this moment, the sword light filling the sky showcased the methods of these cultivators, each with an incredibly solid foundation.
Even though their cultivation had improved during the Contend of Ten Thousand Realms, they had not let their sword cultivation fall behind, preventing any weaknesses.
The Eight Desolations Sword Formation drew upon the endless power of heaven and earth, every strike like swimming fish, bringing up clouds of blood, then the Heavenly Beads scattering on the ground.
“Could it be that they are about to succeed?” Someone whispered high up in the sky, looking toward the distant sky.
Some people turned their eyes toward Nine Mysteries City.
Only now could they see faint traces of the power of heaven and earth converging within Nine Mysteries City, the Origin.
The power of the Origin gathering, would ultimately turn into Heavenly Beads.
This is the method and process of harvesting the Heavenly Beads, gathering the power of one side to resist the enemy. If victorious, the Heavenly Beads would solidify, enhancing one’s cultivation.
If defeated, they would naturally become the nourishment for the Heavenly Beads, becoming opportunities for others.
If the sword cultivators in the city could collect and absorb these Heavenly Beads, at least third-grade, their strength and cultivation could increase greatly.
If so, Nine Mysteries City would be secure.
Even if there were great battles thereafter, they would basically be able to protect their location from being lost, unless a supreme powerhouse came to attack.
“Roar—”
In the void, the roar of a Heavenly Demonic Beast echoed.
It was a third-grade Heavenly Demon Beast that had broken through the sword array.
This Heavenly Demon Beast, somehow rallying dozens of other Heavenly Demonic Beasts, burst through the Eight Desolations Formation and charged towards the city below.
Suddenly, the eyes of the surrounding forces lit up.
This escapee could perhaps become the tiny hole which breaks the dam!
Nine Mysteries City had already pushed its strength to the maximum, and definitely had no energy left to fend off these third-grade Heavenly Demonic Beasts.
The strength of a third-grade Heavenly Demonic Beast was also at the Immortal Venerable realm, not to be stopped by just two or three sword cultivators from the city. If many joined in, the Eight Desolations Formation would collapse.
This battle, surprisingly had taken such a turn!
Many people’s eyes gleamed sharply, their gazes fixed on the Origin energy diffusing throughout the city, unable to conceal their greed any longer.
As long as the third-grade Heavenly Demonic Beast broke through the city walls and the massacre began, they would charge out without hesitation to gather the nurturing Origin for the Heavenly Beads.
“I’ll go.” On the city walls, Junior Sister Yu Chan took a deep breath, gripping her long sword, as a Puppet Fighter landed beside her.
“No rush,” Xu Zhi said, waving his hand, his expression serene.
“Have all the disciples with battle puppets get ready. I’m going to lure another strike.”
At such a critical moment, Xu Zhi was still so composed.
The disciples from the Sword Pavilion around him glanced at each other, none of them doubting him.
There was no need to question Xu Zhi.
Whatever mad thing he decided to do, he could make it successful.
If not, Han Muye would not possibly entrust him with all the resources and powers he had left behind in the celestial world.
“Hum—”
The Heavenly Demonic Beast in front had already charged to the exterior of Nine Mysteries City, and a thousand feet in the air, a light barrier protecting the city rose.
The golden light seeping out from this light curtain blocked the Heavenly Demonic Beast.
But everyone knew that such a force could not possibly hold off the aggressive Heavenly Demonic Beast.
“They’ve no chance left,” someone murmured high in the sky, excitement in their voice.
Just one charge, and the city’s final defense would collapse.
Then, the massacre would begin.
“Crack—”
The golden light curtain shattered with a strike, and the ferocious Heavenly Demonic Beast charged down.
“Charge.”
Xu Zhi’s voice rang out.
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone on the battlements of Nine Mysteries City to hear, as could the cultivators in the sky nearby.
Shadowy figures of battle puppet armors appeared one after another.
These hundred-foot-tall battle puppets took positions on the battlements, staunchly holding back the charging Heavenly Demonic Beast.
Xu Zhi looked around with a hint of regret, then stepped forward.
A dazzling halo of light began to ascend around him.
In his hand, an ink brush appeared.
“It’s a pity, no one has made a move yet,” he said, his tone clearly conveying the hope that someone would attack at this moment.
Was this arrogance, or did he truly have the capability?
It was not strange for Nine Mysteries City to have battle puppets, for which force did not possess some battle puppets after the fusion of heaven and earth?
No matter how these battle puppets had been acquired, in any case, they existed.
But could these clumsily controlled battle puppets really stop the Heavenly Demonic Beasts before them?
Everyone watched Xu Zhi, eager to see what else he had up his sleeve.
“Mr. Xu never disappoints,” Jade Cicada Sword Immortal murmured.
The others on the battlements also fixed their eyes on Xu Zhi, who was walking slowly forward.
Mr. Xu was the affectionate name most of the disciples from Nine Mystic Sword Sect used to address Xu Zhi.
“Using metal for swords can gather sharpness,” Xu Zhi held the ink brush, stepping forward, muttering to himself.
Behind him, a colossal ethereal figure coalesced, an endless brilliance of a golden body.
