Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Rescue
The exceptionally fierce battle raged on for over ten minutes.
Aside from the South Wall, which was barely holding on and rapidly annihilating the Martial Soul Hall forces at a high cost, the other three walls had already begun to fall back in defeat.
Each of the walls was defended by a dozen or so Tier Three Martial Spirits.
But the Tier Three Martial Spirits on those three walls were like a single pillar trying to support a collapsing building—they couldn’t hold back the swarm of over a thousand Tier One Martial Spirits.
Back at the South Wall, three Tier Two Martial Spirits sought out Chu Qingyun at almost the same time. They were soldiers from the other three walls, sent to ask for reinforcements.
Each of the three walls believed they were the main target of the Martial Soul Hall’s all-out assault, so they had each sent out some Tier Two Martial Spirits to request aid from the other three locations.
Unexpectedly, the Tier Two Martial Spirits sent to the other walls discovered that the situations there were no better than their own.
Only the three who were sent to the South Wall found that the situation here was indeed much better. They quickly sought out the Tier Three Martial Spirits to request support.
The situation here was entirely under Chu Qingyun’s command, so those Tier Three Martial Spirits told them to find him.
Facing the Tier Two Martial Spirits from three different directions all asking for help, Chu Qingyun frowned deeply, astonishment filling his heart.
’So, besides my South Wall, the other three fronts are also under fierce attack by over a thousand Small Spirit Realm cultivators!’
’Doesn’t that mean the Martial Soul Hall has mobilized over four thousand Small Spirit Realm cultivators this time? And the Great Xia Dragon Guard knew nothing about a Martial Spirit Realm operation of this scale beforehand!’
’This is simply unbelievable!’
But surprise was a luxury he couldn’t afford; Chu Qingyun had no time to dwell on it.
With three fronts calling for aid, he definitely had to go and provide support.
From the very beginning, the Martial Soul Hall had been clamoring about washing the County City in blood. If any of the defensive lines truly collapsed, allowing the Martial Soul Hall’s Martial Spirits to charge deep into the County City...
It would be an absolute catastrophe!
The destruction that rampaging Martial Spirit Realm cultivators could cause would be absolutely immense!
Chu Qingyun pondered for a moment, then made a quick round along the South Wall. He tossed an elixir to each of the nine remaining Tier Three Martial Spirits, as well as to Xiao Feng, Xia He, and the others.
He instructed them to take the elixirs and keep fighting if they could no longer hold on!
Chu Qingyun had refined elixirs once before to deal with Mu. At the time, he had thought that since he was already firing up the furnace, he might as well make a few extra.
He never expected to only use five back then, and that the rest would prove so crucial here.
The strength-bursting elixirs he refined were of three types: the Violent Yuan Pill, the Green Wind Swift Shadow Pill, and the Giant Elephant Frenzy Pill. As for which type he gave to whom, it was completely random. Even Chu Qingyun himself didn’t know.
But one thing was certain: regardless of the type, any one of them was enough to cause an explosive, instantaneous increase in their strength, capable of turning the tide in a section of the battlefield in a heartbeat!
After distributing the elixirs, Chu Qingyun charged toward the nearest front—the east wall.
At the east wall, the top of the ramparts had been completely lost.
The Great Xia Dragon Guard were in full retreat. Their Tier One Martial Spirits had suffered heavy losses, and the few who remained were barely holding on under siege. The Tier Two Martial Spirits had also begun to be surrounded by the Martial Soul Hall, trapping them in a bitter struggle.
Only the few remaining Tier Three Martial Spirits were still charging about in a fury, cutting down one Martial Soul Hall member after another to rescue their comrades.
But often, as soon as they left, the ones they had just saved would be swarmed once again.
"Die!"
Chu Qingyun roared furiously and charged forward.
With a single sweep of his sword, a half-meter-long beam of Sword Qi pulsed with a hazy purple light. Wherever it passed, the Martial Soul Hall’s Martial Spirits exploded, utterly powerless to resist!
And his ten vines were no weaker. Each one tore through the air, viciously smashing a Martial Soul Hall Martial Spirit to the ground and crushing them to pieces!
Neither his Thunder Light Sword Qi nor his Tier Four Martial Soul were things these trash-tier Tier One Martial Spirits could withstand!
The moment Chu Qingyun attacked, more than a dozen Martial Soul Hall members were instantly slain, and the situation on that part of the battlefield was reversed in a flash.
After killing a dozen or so Martial Soul Hall Martial Spirits, Chu Qingyun didn’t pause for a moment before charging toward the next hot spot.
Left behind was a Tier Two Martial Spirit who had already prepared to die in battle, staring dumbstruck at Chu Qingyun’s figure as he charged into the distance...
After rampaging through the east wall’s defensive sector, the number of Martial Soul Hall Martial Spirits who died by Chu Qingyun’s hand definitely exceeded two hundred. The situation on the east wall was temporarily stabilized.
Moreover, every time he passed a Tier Three Martial Spirit, Chu Qingyun would toss them an elixir, telling them to use it only when they absolutely couldn’t hold on any longer.
After the east wall, Chu Qingyun charged toward the north wall.
Because he arrived a little later, the situation at the north wall was even worse, with even heavier casualties.
However, with Chu Qingyun’s powerful support, he managed to stabilize the situation after a furious charge. After leaving elixirs for the remaining Tier Three Martial Spirits, Chu Qingyun rushed to the west wall without stopping.
At the west wall, the situation had deteriorated to the extreme.
The Tier One Martial Spirits had been all but wiped out under the Martial Soul Hall’s assault. All that remained were the last few dozen Tier Two and Tier Three Martial Spirits, huddled together and completely surrounded by six or seven hundred of the Martial Soul Hall’s Tier One Martial Spirits, who were attacking them relentlessly!
As they attacked, the Martial Soul Hall members shrieked maniacally.
They screamed that after they finished off the Great Xia Dragon Guard, they would start from here and wash Lianshan County City in blood, letting it flow like a river and leaving no one, not even chickens or dogs, alive!
They were going to vent all the resentment and fury from being forced to attack the city on the common people within!
"You’re courting death!"
Just as the Great Xia Dragon Guard on the west wall were on the verge of despair, Chu Qingyun descended from the sky. Facing six or seven hundred of the Martial Soul Hall’s Tier One Martial Spirits, he showed no fear and charged straight into their midst!
"Thunder Sword Momentum!"
Because they were swarming the Great Xia Dragon Guard, the Martial Soul Hall’s Martial Spirits were all clustered together, which was a great convenience for Chu Qingyun.
His ten vines unleashed the Thunder Sword Momentum simultaneously, fanning out to blast the Martial Soul Hall’s Martial Spirits. With just this single strike, he annihilated over fifty Tier One Martial Spirits!
With his Tier Four Martial Soul and Thunder Light Sword Qi fully unleashed, Chu Qingyun became like an Asura on the battlefield, beginning a cruel and efficient slaughter of the Martial Soul Hall’s Tier One Martial Spirits.
At first, seeing that Chu Qingyun was alone and only a Tier Two Martial Spirit, the Martial Soul Hall members proactively surrounded and attacked him.
However, they soon discovered that their Tier Two Soul Techniques and scattered bursts of Primordial Power had absolutely no effect when they struck Chu Qingyun’s Fourth Layer of the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern.
Meanwhile, a single casual move from Chu Qingyun could wipe out a huge swath of them!
In less than three minutes, Chu Qingyun had slaughtered the six or seven hundred Tier One Martial Spirits from the Martial Soul Hall until they were crying for their parents and fleeing in all directions, having completely lost the courage to fight him.
Against an opponent of this caliber, superior numbers were completely useless!
