Strong Enemy
"Hmph, at least our Liu Clan disciples go into battle to fight, unlike some people who conserve their strength and only send their disciples out to make a show of fighting when the Barbarian Race cultivators' morale has greatly diminished."
Liu Yuguang said sarcastically.
At the start of the war, disciples from cultivation Lineage and Rogue Cultivator took the lead. Disciples from sects such as the Cold Flame Sect, Hundred Ghosts Sect, Spirit Control Sect, and Mystic Yang Sect did not participate much. The former suffered more casualties, while the latter suffered less. This was due to factors of strength as well as other factors.
"Conserve your strength? When I was fighting the Barbarian Race, someone just hid on the city wall and watched. The Barbarian Race initially sent small and medium-sized tribes to fight and deal with some weaklings. You were already struggling so much. Not to mention the cultivators from the Sky Wolf Tribe and Thunder Eagle Tribe, who haven't even killed a single Core Formation Cultivator. What right do they have to talk to me?"
Master Ice Silkworm looked disdainful.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you only killed a Core Formation Cultivator. Anyone who didn't know better would think you killed Nascent Soul elder of the Sky Wolf Tribe."
"Master Hundred Ghosts sneered."
"Alright, enough said. If you're so capable, then when you fight the Core Formation Cultivator Core Formation Cultivator of Barbarian Race Barbarian Race, kill them and let your battle record speak for itself."
Master Ice Flame stepped in to smooth things over.
The relationship between the cultivators of the Zhao Kingdom and Qin Kingdom was not good, and they often clashed. Each felt that the other was not contributing enough and that they were giving too much and receiving too little. If it weren't for the mediation of the five sects of Wei, they might have already fallen into internal strife.
Upon hearing this, Master Ice Silkworm and Master Hundred Ghosts said nothing more and continued to watch the battle.
At this moment, Shen Long faced off against a Black-Robed Man. The Black-Robed Man wielded two axes and moved with incredible speed and agility, a result of the Totem Technique.
The Black-Robed Man's Spirit Beast was a Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape at the late second-tier level. It strode towards Shen Long, sometimes spitting out yellow Earth Spike, sometimes wielding a long yellow staff to attack Shen Long.
A tall, Red-Shirted Man sat on the back of a Crimson Fire Crow Crimson Fire Crow, driving it to attack Shen Long.
The Crimson Fire Crow opened its beak and spewed out Giant Fireball, Red-Shirted Man wielded a long Red Long Spear and thrust it at Shen Long.
Shen Long used his Wind Control Technique and Flying Technique to evade the opponent's attacks, but he was struggling to keep up.
The ground turned from soil to sand, forming a huge sand pit thousands of feet in circumference. The Red-Shirted Man and the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape were trapped in the sand pit. A flash of yellow light appeared, and a gigantic Yellow Seal appeared and smashed down on them.
The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape braced itself above its head with its arms, catching the falling Yellow Seal.
A Yellow Scorpion Tail emerged from the bottom of the sandpit, its stinger striking the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape's calf.
The Black-Robed Man flew into a rage. With a flick of his right hand, a Black Axe shot out, heading straight for the sandpit near the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape.
Four yellow, gleaming Flying Dagger flew towards the Black Axe, while the scorpion's tail sank into the ground.
The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape let out a low growl, its face contorted in pain. The Iron Tail Scorpion's venom was potent, and the toxins were spreading along its blood vessels.
Hundreds of Giant Fireball shot towards the Black-Robed Man and the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape.
The Black-Robed Man tried to dodge, but a sharp, piercing screech rang in his ears. He felt dizzy, as if someone had hit him on the head with a stick, and he felt lightheaded.
Before he could react, a Giant Fireball slammed into him, exploding instantly and engulfing the Black-Robed Man in flames.
A tremendous explosion rang out, and flames engulfed the Black-Robed Man and the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape. At the same time, the giant yellow seal emitted a blinding yellow light, crashed to the ground, and sank into the sand pit.
The giant yellow seal flew up, Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape and the Black-Robed Man were already a pile of minced meat.
A short, stout young man in a yellow shirt grinned when he saw this.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, be careful."
Shen Long's urgent voice rang in its ears.
No sooner had he said that than a Giant Fireball hurtled towards them.
The young man in the yellow shirt summoned a gourd that shimmered with yellow light, cast a spell into it, and the Yellow Gourd emitted a blinding yellow light, spewing out a large amount of shimmering yellow sand. This Yellow Gravel condensed into a shield that shimmered with yellow light, blocking his way.
The Giant Fireball slammed into the Yellow Shield Yellow Shield, turning into billowing flames that engulfed it.
A long spear flashing red light flew out, struck the Yellow Shield Yellow Shield, pierced through it, and headed straight for the young man in yellow.
Four Yellow Flying Knife flew over and struck the Red Long Spear Red Long Spear, knocking it away.
A dense barrage of Red Fist Shadow shot towards the young man in the yellow shirt.
The young man in the yellow shirt lightly stomped his right foot on the ground, and a Yellow Earth Wall rose up from the ground, blocking his way.
One after another, Red Fist Shadow struck the Yellow Earth Wall Yellow Earth Wall, causing it to collapse with a roar. Dense Golden Arrow shot out, shattering the Red Fist Shadow.
The Red-Shirted Man frowned. If Shen Long hadn't intervened, the young man in yellow would already be dead.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen."
The young man in the yellow shirt expressed his gratitude.
Huang Yilei, born in the Yellow Sand Sect of Wei State, Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
"It's nothing. You helped me just now, so helping you now is the same."
Shen Long smiled calmly.
Huang Yilei nodded, made a hand seal, and the Yellow Shield disintegrated, transforming into a gigantic Yellow Sand Flood Dragon that pounced on the Red-Shirted Man.
Shen Long activated his magic technique, and a dense barrage of Golden Arrow shot straight towards the Red-Shirted Man.
The Red-Shirted Man dared not take the blow head-on and was about to dodge when a sharp, piercing screech rang in his ears, making him feel dizzy. Upon hearing this sound, the Crimson Fire Crow swayed from side to side.
A blinding red light shone from the chest of the Red-Shirted Man, and Cyan Wolf Phantom appeared. The Cyan Wolf Phantom spewed out a Cyan Sound Wave, which collided with the Yellow Sand Flood Dragon.
The Yellow Sand Flood Dragon's body trembled and exploded, turning into a large patch of shimmering yellow sand. Suddenly, it solidified into countless Yellow Flying Knife, slashing towards the Red-Shirted Man.
The Red-Shirted Man quickly brandished a long Red Long Staff Red Long Staff, wielding it to block the incoming Yellow Flying Knife. However, a dense barrage of Golden Arrow pierced through the Crimson Fire Crow's body, sending it plummeting towards the ground, Red-Shirted Man Crimson Fire Crow heavily to the ground.
The Red-Shirted Man managed to defend himself in time, escaping death from the fall, but he did create a large crater and was left disoriented.
Hundreds of Giant Fireball shot towards him, striking the Red-Shirted Man one after another. Flames engulfed Red-Shirted Man body, and fire soared into the sky.
Before the flames had even subsided, hundreds more Giant Fireball rained down, intensifying the fire and causing the ground to tremble slightly.
A long spear gleaming with yellow light and a Golden Light Flowing Spear shot out and disappeared into the sea of fire one after the other, followed by a man's scream.
Not long after, the flames subsided, Red-Shirted Man lay dead in a huge crater billowing black smoke, with two horrific bloody holes in his body.
Shen Long unleashed Meteor Fire Rain and Wind Sweeps Away Clouds attacks on the Barbarian Race. With the cooperation of the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Gold-Eating Ant, the Barbarian Race cultivators were no match for him in a one-on-one fight.
The Barbarian Race cultivators possessed powerful physical bodies, and Shen Long didn't give them a chance to get close. With Meteor Fire Rain and Wind Sweeps Away Clouds, he easily injured the Barbarian Race cultivators, and then commanded the Iron Tail Scorpion and Gold-Eating Ant to annihilate Barbarian Race.
Shen Long, together with other Foundation Establishment Cultivator, successively killed eight Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which attracted the attention of the Barbarian Race. They sent a burly man in a blue robe to deal with Shen Long. The man in the blue robe had the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
Huang Yilei wanted to help, but a Barbarian Race cultivator wielding a bronze hammer rushed over and entangled Huang Yilei.
The man in the blue robe held a Cyan Long Staff. With a flick of his wrist, a series of staff shadows swept out, heading straight for Shen Long.
