The Destruction of Dragon Sparrow Manor
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Above the sky, cannonballs continuously bombarded Dragon Roar City.
Compared to the initial interception by Primordial Spirit True Lord and Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators using their swords, the cannonballs now have almost no power to stop them, and each time they hit the crowd, they cause a large number of deaths and injuries.
Moreover, compared to the deaths and injuries, what is most terrifying is the tragic sight of soldiers and even cultivators being torn to pieces when hit by artillery shells.
This brutality shocked everyone. Even though the soldiers guarding Dragon Roar City were all elite warriors who Body Tempering, they still found it difficult to maintain their morale under such bombardment.
When Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and other demon god guards, carrying close-in weapon systems and hundreds, even thousands of pounds of ammunition boxes, rushed up the city wall and began firing down on the soldiers who were arrayed in battle formation, even the most elite soldiers lost their will to resist and quickly collapsed.
In Dragon Roar City, there are dozens or even hundreds of palaces and pavilions in Dragon Sparrow Manor.
On one of the high-rise buildings, Long Xuanguang, a Spirit Transformation elder who had not participated in the counterattack on Longteng Mountain due to the backlash from the Yin Spirit, looked through the window at the constantly flashing flames and deafening roar in the distance. After a long while, he sat on the ground, lost in thought.
"We've lost! We've lost! We've lost!"
His tone was filled with helplessness and despair.
Not long ago, when a terrifying light suddenly flashed across the horizon, he had a bad feeling.
He could clearly feel that vast and powerful force and the tremors it caused on the earth, even though he was in Dragon Roar City.
That is...
The immense power that only Celestial Person can unleash.
He could only speculate that there might be Celestial Person intervention behind the scenes Gu Jinlai, otherwise how could one rise to prominence so quickly?
Now, whether we speculate or not, it's all meaningless.
Gu Jinlai, they have invaded.
"Master, Dragon Roar City has fallen, and those bandits from Star Province have invaded. Let's leave quickly."
At that moment, a young girl ran in, looking hurried.
Long Xuanguang glanced at her.
This is Yun Chan, his disciple whom he took in sixteen years ago.
She was only ten years old at that time, but she has grown up so much without realizing it, and her cultivation has reached the Qi Refining stage.
Next, all I need to do is take enough Spirit Nourishing Pill, and I have a great chance of cultivating to the Spirit Refining and becoming a key figure in Dragon Sparrow Manor.
If one is fortunate enough to condense Yin Spirit, one can even step into the upper echelons of Dragon Sparrow Manor.
It's just a pity now...
"Walk?"
Long Xuanguang said bitterly, "You disciples who haven't reached the Spirit Refining can leave, but we... can't."
He gazed into the distance.
Just then, a figure stood a thousand meters in the air, looking down over the entire Dragon Roar City.
That was Xin Tianqi.
Standing high in the sky, he constantly scanned all directions, eliminating any remaining points of resistance from Dragon Sparrow Manor.
On the city wall, the demon god's personal guards, carrying killing Spirit Artifact, were also repeatedly probing the exact locations of all the Spirit Transformation cultivators.
If he had not suffered a backlash from the Yin Spirit, he could have concealed his aura and prevented any leakage of his divine sense, thus escaping the pursuit.
However, due to the backlash from the Yin Spirit, his injuries were extremely severe. If he could perfectly control every bit of his divine power...?
At this moment, he, along with several other Spirit Transformation cultivators, were probably already heavily targeted by the Gu Jinlai.
No one can escape this disaster.
"You can leave now."
As he spoke, Long Xuanguang took out a Jade Slip from his body. "Yun Chan, this is the legacy of my Dragon Sparrow Manor. Although it is not yet complete, if you can find some suitable successors to pass it on, there may be hope for a comeback in the future."
"Master..."
"Walk."
Long Xuanguang roared.
The girl's eyes were filled with pain.
Her gaze drifted toward the city walls of Dragon Roar City.
With the help of the height of the pavilion and the eyesight of Core Forming, she could vaguely see a huge figure standing on the city wall, exuding an oppressive aura like that of a demon god.
Gu Jinlai!
That was the Great Sun True Demon Body, which resembled Demonic Beasts from Gu Jinlai.
Hatred flashed in her eyes. "Master, please rest assured, I will remember the hatred of your annihilation. From now on, I will cultivate tenfold, a hundredfold, and one day I will become True Lord, storm into Star Province, and avenge my Dragon Sparrow Manor!"
"True Lord, you cannot avenge him."
Long Xuanguang waved his hand. "You should leave now."
"True Lord cannot become Celestial Person, Celestial Person cannot become a Saint! All those who have destroyed my Dragon Sparrow Manor Gu Jinlai must repay this blood debt with blood!"
After saying that, she took the Jade Slip and wiped away her tears. "Master, this disciple is leaving."
After saying this, he resolutely turned around and left the attic.
"Celestial Person..."
Long Xuanguang looked powerless.
Cultivating to Celestial Person is not so easy.
Two or three hundred years ago, before the advent of divine weapons, there were fewer than ten Celestial Person living in the entire Qian Heaven and Earth Realm at the same time.
Dragon Sparrow Manor is not a divine weapon power. Although it belongs to the category of top powers, apart from the founder of Dragon Sparrow Manor, no one has stepped into the Celestial Person Realm in the past six hundred years.
He wants to cultivate himself into Celestial Person and then seek revenge against the Gu Jinlai...
That's just wishful thinking.
He looked towards the city wall of Dragon Roar City, watching the terrifying figure leading the Demon God's personal guards rapidly charging in that direction, recalling the terrifying energy fluctuations that had just erupted in Dragon Soaring Mountain...
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Celestial Person... Celestial Person beings..."
He cried out in pain and helplessness.
Celestial Person!
If they had known that there were Celestial Person behind the Gu Jinlai, or that they possessed similar Celestial Person, their Dragon Sparrow Manor would never have provoked such a terrifying opponent.
In this way, the Dragon Sparrow Manor would not have suffered such a devastating calamity as the extinction of its lineage.
Unfortunately, now...
Too late!
It's too late!
It's all over.
Dragon Sparrow Manor, having offended an entity it could not afford to offend, will henceforth become nothing more than history.
"Hahaha... The world! The world! This is the world!"
Long Xuanguang gave a bitter laugh, completely ignoring the pain of his Yin Spirit backlash, and forcibly activated the flying sword in his hand.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he locked onto the figure leading his men rapidly approaching Dragon Sparrow Manor.
Refining essence into qi, Qi Refining into spirit.
All the vital energy in his body burned fiercely and was poured into the flying sword, causing his Yin Spirit to recover and expand rapidly. The flying sword beside him also shone with sword light and exuded a Sword Qi aura.
Gu Jinlai!
With a roar, his flying sword soared into the sky. "Let's take on the last... Dragon Sparrow Manor..."
"Call out!"
Sword Qi pierced the air!
Xin Tianqi, who was suppressing the situation above the sky, seemed to sense the rapidly rising, chilling Sword Qi. His flying sword tore through the air waves, slashing into the pavilion like lightning across the sky.
Before Long Xuanguang could burn away all his vital energy, Xin Tianqi's flying sword was already upon him.
In his haste, he only had time to activate his flying sword in advance, but upon colliding with the true essence contained within it, the flying sword was already blasted away.
Immediately afterwards, Xin Tianqi's flying sword, like a streak of light, pierced through the pavilion and crashed into his head!
"Bang!"
Long Xuanguang's body seemed to have been hit by a cannon bullet, and blood mist exploded.
Having lost his head, he didn't even have time to scream or utter his last words before falling straight backward.
Even in death, Gu Jinlai, who led the charge, was unaware that a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator from Dragon Sparrow Manor planned to burn his essence, energy, and spirit to deliver a fatal blow to him.
Xin Tianqi's move was like a signal.
Lu Zhanfeng, Cheng Wanli, Nie Shisan, and others drew their swords simultaneously.
Under the command of Gu Chifeng and others using close-in weaponry, they charged towards the other five Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators who had been severely injured by the Yin Spirit, as detected by the scan.
One side was leaderless, its high command lost, and its soldiers had lost all morale under the bombardment.
The other side was unstoppable, with constant artillery support, and advanced close-in weapon systems, Thunder machine guns, and other equipment, providing astonishing killing efficiency.
The outcome of this great battle was almost predetermined.
The demon guards led by Gu Jinlai quickly stormed into Dragon Sparrow Manor.
There were still many experts residing in Dragon Sparrow Manor at this time, including some True Person of Spirit Refining.
However, these True Person Spirit Refining who had just appeared were immediately killed by gunfire and cannons, without even needing several Spirit Transformation Grand Masters to launch a surprise attack on them with their swords.
The remaining cultivators at the Core Forming, Gang Condensing, and Qi Refining stages were not much better off.
Faced with over 1,300 well-equipped and powerful demon guards, all those who resisted were killed, routed, or captured.
Those who previously held high positions and great power in the Spirit Refining and Core Forming stages have now become a burden to them.
Xin Tianqi, Cheng Wanli, and other Primordial Spirit and Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were the first to intercept and kill them.
In this situation, just as Long Xuanguang had guessed, they couldn't even escape.
Several hours later, the elite army from the foot of Dragon Soaring Mountain entered Dragon Roar City, and the war situation stabilized at a faster pace.
The occasional large-scale resistance was quickly extinguished.
Although sporadic counterattacks are still inevitable, the entire Dragon Roar City, belonging to the Dragon Sparrow Manor, is being suppressed at an extremely rapid pace.
Even on the first night, when some people from Dragon Sparrow Manor organized a breakout attempt to escape Dragon Roar City, it still ended in failure.
The Dragon Sparrow Manor suffered a complete loss of all its cultivators at the Nascent Spirit Transformation or above.
All five Primordial Spirit True Lord were killed by the Gu Jinlai.
Without the guidance of experts at the Spirit Transformation and Primordial Spirit realms, if they were to resist, Xin Tianqi, Cheng Wanli, Nie Shisan, Lu Zhanfeng, and others stationed in the center of Dragon Roar City would immediately intercept them with their swords, swiftly killing the leaders of the breakout team.
Even if the one leading the breakout is True Person of Spirit Refining, facing the flying swords of a Grand Master of Spirit Transformation, there is still only one way out: death.
Even if they are numerous, when they are exposed after breaking through the encirclement, the Demon God's personal guards, as well as the large number of Spirit Refining, Core Forming, and Gang Condensing from Star Province, will all take action and quickly pursue them.
Each person Core Forming and the Spirit Refining will face enemies at least three times their number.
And if they cannot be defeated in a short time, more experts will come to their aid from all directions.
Even the former governor of Star Province, who has served the nation for Gu Jinlai, personally took action without regard for his status.
He even took the initiative to repeatedly find and forcefully eliminate those deeply hidden masters of Dragon Sparrow Manor.
And they enjoyed it so much that they never tired of it, never slept, and never rested.
Who can withstand this?!
Under this forceful and bloody suppression, as the sun shone on Dragon Roar City the next day, the chaos in the city gradually subsided.
