Shuhu
In front of the Seat of Divine Foresight, many high-ranking members of the Xianzhou stood outside the gate after finishing their meeting, their faces all extremely solemn.
Jingliu stood at the doorway, holding the Shard Sword in one hand, its scabbard planted on the ground. His gaze was fixed on the distance, as if he could see the bloodshed that Luofu was about to experience.
"What's wrong? Do you think we can't beat them?"
Seeing Jingliu's expression, Baiheng curiously moved closer to her, looking at Jingliu with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jingliu turned his gaze away from the distance, looked at Baiheng, and after a long while spoke, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past."
Baiheng understood. Jingliu must have remembered when Cangcheng was swallowed up before. In fact, there wasn't much difference between then and now; it was the same Shuhu move.
Her smile faded, her lips parted slightly, but Baiheng ultimately chose to raise his hand and pat Jingliu's shoulder, looking at Jingliu earnestly as he said:
"Don't think about it too much. We should be thinking about what to do next."
Baiheng paused, as if remembering something, and glanced at Dan Feng and the others, whose expressions were equally serious, before continuing:
"Speaking of which, didn't Brother Bai say that Luofu would overcome this crisis? Only the price..." Baiheng paused, then continued, "... was rather heavy..."
Baiheng's expression turned somewhat somber as she pondered the ending Bai Luoming had described. As for his statement that he would die in the chaos, she didn't pay much attention to it.
Dan Feng joined in at the opportune moment, speaking earnestly to the group, "Alright, let's get ready as soon as possible; there's still a lot to do."
After saying that, Dan Feng nodded to Jing Yuan and Yingxing, and then left on his own.
"High Elder is right. We still need to prepare the battle lines and evacuate the masses."
After saying this, Baiheng took a few steps forward, then turned back to Jingliu a playful smile and spoke to her.
"Speaking of Jingliu Liu, what are you going to do with your disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Jingliu stared blankly at Baiheng. Speaking of Bai Luoming, he should already be asleep. Judging from his appearance, he probably didn't even know that he would arrive Shuhu today...
Thinking of this, Jingliu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If this child had arrived earlier, perhaps the outcome would have been different.
· Jingliu Liu?·#34;
Seeing Jingliu seemingly lost in thought, Baiheng couldn't help but remind him. Only then did Jingliu seem to snap out of a daze, looking at Baiheng and saying, "Let him be. Since he's here, he must have his own things to do."
For some reason, Jingliu was reluctant to disturb Bai Luoming. Besides, his previous exchange with Bai Luoming was merely a test, and he was not clear about Bai Luoming's exact strength. If he rashly intervened, it might have the opposite effect.
"Alright then, I still need to evacuate the crowd. See you on the battlefield, Jingliu- nee."
This time, Baiheng wasn't as frivolous as before; instead, he addressed Jingliu with utmost seriousness, calling her "Jingliu" (Sister Jing Liu).
After saying that, Baiheng didn't hesitate any longer. He turned around and strode away into the distance without stopping at all.
Only faint whispers in the wind carried Baiheng's complaints about the Helmsman the Sky-Faring Commission.
With Baiheng gone, only Jingliu remained standing in front of the Seat of Divine Foresight. The other high-ranking officials had their own matters to attend to, while she, as the main force of Luofu, only needed to wait for the battlefield to begin.
Even though everyone reacted quickly and Teng Xiao was prepared, it was the dead of night, and Luofu was not like it was hundreds of years later after the Shuhu Rebellion; the number of grotto-heavens had decreased by an unknown amount.
Therefore, there is simply not enough time to prepare everything properly.
Just as that enormous tree with a thousand faces and a thousand eyes was approaching Luofu with a large number of Denizens of Abundance, many others were still asleep.
At Shuhu expected landing site, numerous Cloud Knights were already on high alert, waiting in full force.
However, even with such thorough preparations, they still underestimated the destructive power of Shuhu attack.
Without making any Shuhu movement, it merely approached Luofu with its massive body, and the Cloud Knights inside the defensive line felt immense pressure.
Shuhu, with overwhelming force, the massive body approached, and the booming sound continuously reached the ears of the Cloud Knights. Some Cloud Knights even began to tremble at the sight, but they still gripped their weapons tightly and faced the Shuhu, even though they knew that it would not cause any harm to the Shuhu.
They had nowhere to retreat; behind them lay the land where their families and friends had lived for generations.
Shuhu at the Cloud Knights confronting him, but didn't take them seriously. Instead, he looked at the Ambrosial Arbor in the distance, where the thousand faces on the tree opened their mouths in unison, creating a powerful and deafening roar.
"Haha! Another Xianzhou! Cangcheng was destroyed by my hand in the past, and today Luofu will follow in Cangcheng's footsteps!!"
"How dare you! You wretched creature! How dare you speak ill of the fate of the Xianzhou!"
Despite the Shuhu pressure, one of the Cloud Knights raised his head and shouted loudly at Shuhu. Although his words seemed weak in front of Shuhu, they reflected the thoughts of many Cloud Knights present.
Shuhu Cloud Knights's words, he didn't take them to heart. They were just tiny ants; he had crushed countless such insignificant lives.
Realizing this, Shuhu immediately stopped hesitating and straightened his massive body, intending to crash into Luofu.
As he Shuhu ever closer to Luofu, all the countless faces on his body turned to look at Luofu, each bearing a twisted smile, as if this were a signal to destroy Luofu.
However, before he could collide with Luofu, a golden giant appeared, blocking his path. At the same time, a small figure appeared, holding a sword and standing in front of him.
Shuhu seeing this, it became clear that this was the general of Luofu Mountain and the Sword Champion who was said to have an "unbeatable reputation."
"Ha, a lackey of a Demon Bow, and a mortal? Do you think you can stop my fierce attack?"
Countless faces laughed in unison in the direction of the Lightning-Lord and Jingliu, their voices filled with contempt for the two.
Whether we can win or not, we'll only know by trying.
Teng Xiao and Jingliu exchanged a glance. Teng Xiao took the initiative to urge the Lightning-Lord to fight against Shuhu, while Jingliu was not idle either. He raised his sword and slashed at Shuhu's body.
Jingliu's sword light was incredibly sharp. Even with Shuhu's incredibly tough body, it could still easily sever his body. However, Shuhu's vitality was extremely tenacious. Even if Shuhu's body was severed, it could be repaired in an instant.
Even the Shuhu bodies severed by the Jingliu transformed into twisted monsters the instant they hit the ground, attacking the Cloud Knights stationed in the distance.
While the two were locked in combat, countless beast ships continuously landed in various parts of Luofu, from which emerged an endless Denizens of Abundance, who engaged in fierce battles with the Cloud Knights.
The number and variety of the Denizens of Abundance were so great that a single Cloud Knights often had to face attacks from one or even several of these wretched creatures.
Even with their superhuman physiques, they couldn't sustain a battle of this magnitude for long, let alone the fact that their opponents were not ordinary enemies, but rather Abominations of Abundance known for their vitality.
Looking at the countless monstrous creatures, Cloud Knights felt despair, but he still picked up his weapon and fought them relentlessly. Just then, a bright light suddenly shone in the center of Luofu, and a scorching heat burst forth from the light, sweeping across Luofu and annihilating all the monstrous creatures that had landed on Luofu, turning them into ashes and dissipating into the Luofu.
The attack was incredibly fierce, annihilating all the landed monsters, but countless beast ships still sailed towards Luofu, from which large numbers of monsters poured out. Some monsters couldn't even wait to land and jumped off the beast ships to engage in battle with the Cloud Knights.
However, the number of these monstrous creatures, compared to the endless monstrous creatures before, is now within the range that the numerous Cloud Knights can handle.
Shuhu, as they gazed at the light that shone from above Luofu, countless faces showed expressions of confusion as they looked at the Lightning-Lord was wrestling with him.
"It really surprises me that Luofu has such a powerful weapon hidden away. It's a pity that such a thing must consume a lot of resources. It's a waste to use it to clear out the weaklings."
"Hmph, enough talk, let's see what you've got!"
Taking advantage of a momentary lapse in concentration, Teng Xiao manipulated the Lightning-Lord to launch Shuhu attack, tearing a hideous wound into the Shuhu's body.
Jingliu wasn't idle either. She only glanced at the light as it appeared before continuing to slash at Shuhu sword.
Although she didn't know who launched the attack, judging from the direction it came from, she already had a guess in her mind.
