"Super Soul Combat Technique!!"
The five Earthly Venerables entered the Martial God Realm at once, pinning you and Hua Wuyan down so neither of you could stop the Dragon Person army.
"Sword Master! Lingyue! Big Brother! Chengqian! Lead the Martial Kings and Martial Saints to defend the valley, now!"
The Dragon Person army bore down on the valley between Bixia Peak and Qisong Peak.
A small array lay hidden beneath layers of sand and vegetation there, flickering in and out of sight.
It was one of the Array Eyes of the Yixiantian Array.
An array like Yixiantian was not, in essence, a single array. It was a complex system of many arrays combined according to a specific pattern.
The terrain here was narrow, with towering peaks on either side and rock so solid it was nearly impossible to destroy.
One man could hold the pass against ten thousand.
You had chosen this Array Eye's location for that very reason.
The ordinary soldiers of the Human World Allied Forces did not need to hold it. The Sword Master and the other powerhouses only had to guard the valley entrance.
The battle had gone from three dimensions to two, giving your side a considerable advantage.
Otherwise, the Dragon People could simply fly over the valley, and stopping them would be far harder.
The Dragon People had plenty of powerhouses of their own.
The five Earthly Venerables were Martial Saints capable of using the Super Soul Combat Technique, and the Expeditionary Army had many other, ordinary Martial Saints.
"Ordinary" was a strange word to put before "Martial Saint."
Even with formidable Martial Saints like the Sword Master and Li Lingyue leading them, the powerhouses of the Five Domains and the Demon Race remained on the back foot throughout the battle for the valley
