Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Endless Level 1 Martial Spirits
At Chu Qingyun’s shout, the dozen or so Small Spirit Realm warriors held their attack.
His Demon Beast landed. Chu Qingyun raised one hand, holding his Great Xia Dragon Guard token high for them to see.
Upon seeing the unique Great Xia Dragon Guard token, the dozen or so men secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But they didn’t let their guard down completely—a token could be stolen or taken by force, after all.
"Mo, I know him. He’s Chu Qingyun from the Celestial Wind Army. I even went to see his life-or-death duel against the Dong Family a few days ago."
"That’s right, I remember him too. I saw him during the Four Races Martial Arts Competition."
Although none of the dozen or so Small Spirit Realm warriors were from the Celestial Wind Army, two of them had seen Chu Qingyun before and recognized him.
With that, they all truly believed Chu Qingyun.
Moreover, they were all rather excited and overjoyed. Chu Qingyun’s strength was something many had witnessed firsthand and spread through word of mouth.
His return at a time like this was a huge boost to their combat strength!
"What’s going on at the north gate? Why are there so many people from the Martial Soul Hall? They aren’t... attacking the city, are they?" Chu Qingyun asked, looking at the Tier Three Martial Spirit in the lead.
The Tier Three Martial Spirit, who had been addressed as Mo, shook his head and sighed. "You’re right. Those audacious bastards from the Martial Soul Hall are attacking the city!"
"It’s a shame all the Celestial Spirit Realm masters have left. Otherwise, if we could activate the City Defense Array, we could easily annihilate those Martial Soul Hall bastards!"
As the heart of the county, Lianshan County City naturally placed great importance on its defenses.
In addition to the tall, thick, sturdy city walls forged from Black Profound Stone, there was a City Defense Array within the city that possessed immense offensive power when activated.
Unfortunately, not a single Celestial Spirit Realm expert or high-ranking member of the Great Xia Dragon Guard had been left behind, so the City Defense Array couldn’t be activated at all.
"The Martial Soul Hall is attacking the city... but why are they all just Tier One Martial Spirits?" Chu Qingyun asked, puzzled.
Mo shook his head as well. "We’re wondering the same thing. The battle has been raging for three hours, and they’ve only sent Tier One Martial Spirits. But it feels like there’s an endless supply of them."
"By the way, your Celestial Wind Army is focused on defending the southern wall. The situation seems more critical over there, so you should head over quickly. We have to get back too. We need to relieve the others so they can rest, heal, and replenish their Primordial Power!"
After speaking, Mo led the dozen or so Tier One and Tier Two Martial Spirits and quickly ran back, returning to the top of the wall.
In turn, some of the defenders were relieved. Those who needed to heal did so, while others began refining Primordial Spirit Liquid.
’The southern wall is under pressure... Could the Martial Soul Hall be attacking all four walls simultaneously? Where did they get so many Martial Spirit Realm experts...?’
Puzzled, Chu Qingyun unleashed his full speed as a Tier Two Martial Spirit and dashed toward the southern wall.
The County City was vast, but at the speed of a Martial Spirit Realm expert, it only took Chu Qingyun about five minutes to cross from the northern wall to the southern one.
The battle cries from the southern wall were much louder than those from the north.
Chu Qingyun swiftly vaulted onto the wall from behind. A quick scan was all it took for him to see that the situation here was indeed far more dire than at the northern wall.
A rough estimate told him that the number of Martial Soul Hall members here was at least double that at the northern wall.
At the northern wall, the Great Xia Dragon Guard’s Small Spirit Realm warriors could still rotate out to rest, heal, or replenish their Primordial Power.
But here on the southern wall, Chu Qingyun saw several warriors who were already injured yet still locked in combat with the Martial Soul Hall’s Tier One Martial Spirits.
Even more of them were running low on Primordial Power, forcing them to fight cautiously.
"Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine!"
Having assessed the situation, Chu Qingyun acted without hesitation.
No matter the Martial Soul Hall’s objective, and no matter where they had suddenly found so many Martial Spirits, his duty now was to kill them!
This was his duty as a Great Xia Dragon Guard. Besides, his parents, many members of the Chu Family, and many others important to him were all in this city!
The Martial Soul Illusion of his Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine materialized behind him.
The aura of a Tier Four Martial Soul erupted, causing a large group of Tier One Martial Spirits from the Martial Soul Hall around him to falter. Their movements slowed considerably under the pressure.
Ten vines lashed out, killing ten of the Martial Soul Hall’s Tier One Martial Spirits in a single strike!
However, these Martial Spirits from the Martial Soul Hall all had weak Qi and unstable Primordial Power; they were the absolute weakest kind of Tier One Martial Spirit. Chu Qingyun casually absorbed some of the Martial Soul Power lingering on the wall and, just as he’d expected, they were all from Tier Two Martial Souls.
"Profound Celestial Divine Pattern!"
To deal with such trash, Chu Qingyun didn’t even bother using his Thunder Light Sword Qi. He simply activated the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern. A hazy, earth-yellow light enveloped him as he brandished the Strange Sword and charged into the fray.
Protected by the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, Chu Qingyun completely ignored the attacks of the pathetic Tier One Martial Spirits, letting their blows land harmlessly on his body.
And with every swing of his sword, he easily reaped the life of a Martial Soul Hall Martial Spirit.
Even without infusing it with Primordial Power, the combination of his Tier Two Martial Spirit strength, the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, and the sharpness of the Strange Sword was more than those low-level Tier One Martial Spirits could handle.
Chu Qingyun swept across the wall from left to right, leaving a trail of death in his wake.
He charged wherever the Martial Soul Hall’s forces were thickest!
Wherever Chu Qingyun passed, the pressure on the Great Xia Dragon Guard’s Small Spirit Realm warriors instantly lessened.
"A Tier Four Vine Martial Soul! It’s him! It’s Chu Qingyun! He’s here!"
"Holy crap, he’s a beast! He’s cutting down Tier One Martial Spirits like chickens! When will I ever be that strong?"
"He’s not even using Sword Qi and he’s already this powerful..."
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
On the southern wall, the Great Xia Dragon Guards, who had been locked in a bitter struggle, felt their morale surge after Chu Qingyun swept across the ramparts. With renewed vigor, they immediately began to push back the Martial Soul Hall’s forces.
Although a steady stream of Tier One Martial Spirits continued to pour up from below the wall, the Great Xia Dragon Guards now held the absolute advantage!
Seizing this rare chance to catch their breath, a dozen or so Tier Three Martial Spirits, along with Xiao Feng and Xia He, gathered around Chu Qingyun.
"What’s the situation?" Chu Qingyun asked, getting straight to the point.
The dozen or so men all had grim expressions. One of the Tier Three Martial Spirits replied, "It’s not good. The Martial Soul Hall’s Tier One Martial Spirits are weak, but there are just too many of them. The stream is endless."
"When this started, we had over two hundred and seventy Small Spirit Realm warriors from the Celestial Wind Army and the Gale Flame Army gathered on the southern wall."
"After fighting for over three hours, we’ve already lost more than twenty people. Many more are injured and severely depleted of Primordial Power."
