Sikong Jing manipulated Ye Wucan into obeying him by having Ye Wuzhi reveal that Sikong Jing had entered Ancestor Liu Duoye’s holy tomb, while warning Ye Wuzhi that he must take control of Willow Leaf Holy Manor. Sikong Jing then checked the early training results of Ye Ke, the other eleven, and dozens of recruits.

• Sikong Jing told Ye Wucan to hold out for eight to ten days until Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce reinforcements arrived, and Ye Wucan promised to follow his orders.
• Ye Wuzhi told Ye Wucan that Sikong Jing had entered Ancestor Liu Duoye’s holy tomb, prompting Ye Wucan to scheme to obtain its secrets and seize its possessions.
• Ye Wuzhi reported that Ye Wucan would now obey Sikong Jing, and Sikong Jing explained that he had arranged their exchange to secure Ye Wucan’s compliance in the coming battle.
• Sikong Jing urged Ye Wuzhi to become Lord of Willow Leaf Holy Manor, revealed that Liu Duoye had never forbidden marriage across family lines, and said the restriction had been fabricated later.
• Sikong Jing met Ye Ke, the other eleven, and dozens of selected experts to assess their initial progress in learning the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation.

Sikong Jing secretly prepared Willow Leaf City’s true forces to master the Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation while allowing false intelligence to reach Pei Yupo. As the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall prepared to attack, Sikong Jing began issuing his own pre-battle orders.

• Sikong Jing ordered Lou Jie and the other Arbiters to secretly arrange for upright people in Willow Leaf City to learn the formation from Ye Ke and his group, while keeping his supposed death concealed.
• Ye Wucan announced that Willow Leaf Holy Manor and the Heavenly Tyrant Branch would teach the formation across the city and command residents to prepare for the approaching enemy.
• Ma Feigong discovered that Xiong Tingting had not been designated for instruction, and he asked her to obtain formation information for Pei Yupo and Pei Chang.
• Xiong Tingting gave Ma Feigong copied formation instructions and recordings, which he took to Pei Yupo as the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall gathered its forces.
• Sikong Jing explained to Leng Chan, Old Xin, Leng Sha, Ye Wuzhi, and the others that the information Xiong Tingting supplied was deliberately weak, while the Tyrant Heaven Battle Team, Ye Ke’s recruits, and the Reverse Blade Sect formed his real force.
• Sikong Jing called on Leng Dijue and Leng Sha to receive his pre-battle orders.

Sikong Jing prepared Willow Leaf City for war, then secretly traveled toward Reverse Blade City to coordinate its defense. Meanwhile, Pei Yupo and Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall decided to attack the Reverse Blade Sect and seize Shi Douxing’s army-slaying formation.

• Sikong Jing assigned Leng Chan and Leng Sha to strengthen Willow Leaf City’s forces, entrusted his family’s safety to Ye Wuzhi, and made Ren You his channel for orders.

• Sikong Jing merged with the Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion and headed secretly toward Reverse Blade City, passing refugees who believed it was safer than Willow Leaf City.
• Pei Chang dismissed the army-slaying formation they had studied, while Chang Lehuang explained that its remaining teachers were weaker than the dead Overlord Soul heir.
• Pei Yupo ordered Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall to attack the Reverse Blade Sect, seize Shi Douxing’s formation, and frighten Willow Leaf Holy Manor.

Sikong Jing learned that the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall had split its forces to attack Reverse Blade City and Willow Leaf City, leaving only three hours to prepare for Reverse Blade City’s defense. He found the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation ready for battle, but Shi Douxing’s revelation that everyone’s families had gathered in the city left the assembled fighters stunned.

• Pei Yupo sent Chang Yonghuang, Chang Yihuang, and Chang Lehuang with half the troops to slaughter Reverse Blade City while he and Pei Chang advanced on Willow Leaf City.

• Sikong Jing told Shi Douxing that the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall would reach Reverse Blade City in about three hours and shared what he knew about its forces.
• Sikong Jing inspected tens of thousands of people drilling the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation and judged them ready enough for a battle.
• Shi Douxing told Sect Master Zhang that everyone from Tree-Link City had arrived and then revealed that the families and followers of everyone present were also in Reverse Blade City, prompting Sect Master Zhang to ask why.

Shi Douxing revealed that the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall planned to attack Reverse Blade City and slaughter the Willow Leaf City region, so the factions would have to fight alongside Willow Leaf Holy Manor. When the assembled leaders doubted Sikong Jing’s warning, he demonstrated his control over a hundred Emperor Martial Stage experts by forming the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation.

• A Gun explained that Dragon Controlling Mountain’s troops had appeared and that a Saint Martial Stage expert was involved, leading Sect Master Zhang to suggest taking advantage of the conflict.
• Shi Douxing said they would fight alongside Willow Leaf Holy Manor because the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, not Dragon Controlling Mountain, would attack Reverse Blade City in three hours.
• Shi Douxing explained that the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall had disguised its troop buildup as Dragon Controlling Mountain’s army and intended to seize Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s Qianyuan Fragment Map and slaughter the region.
• The assembled factions protested that Shi Douxing had deceived them into learning the formation and feared they could not escape or fight a Saint Martial Stage expert.
• Sikong Jing said escape was impossible, then forcibly linked a hundred faction leaders into the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation and drew their true energy into a pitch-black war blade.

Sikong Jing used the Dark Wing identity to prove his mastery of the Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation and rally Reverse Blade City to resist the approaching Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall. After organizing the city's defenses and evacuations, he faced the enemy army as it arrived under Chang Yonghuang.

• Sikong Jing demonstrated the hundred-man formation's overwhelming power, then introduced himself as Dark Wing of the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
• Sikong Jing and Shi Douxing explained that the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall would attack within three hours and urged everyone to fight until reinforcements arrived.

• Sikong Jing issued further preparations, and Reverse Blade City mobilized under his command.
• Chang Yonghuang led the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall's forces to Reverse Blade City, where their concealed strength erupted outside the city.

Shi Douxing and Sikong Jing confronted the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall and exposed its intent to destroy Reverse Blade City, convincing the city that surrender was impossible. After Shi Douxing refused Chang Yonghuang’s offer to spare only him, Chang Yonghuang attacked, hurling their Divine Shuttle Ship back toward the city center.

• Shi Douxing pretended to be shocked and demanded to know who the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall forces were.
• Chang Yonghuang revealed the attackers’ identity and declared that they would slaughter Reverse Blade City, while Chang Lehuang said they would use its people to practice their city-slaughtering techniques.
• Chang Yonghuang said Shi Douxing could surrender and be spared alone, but Sikong Jing signaled him to end the act and fight.
• Shi Douxing refused to abandon the city and declared that they would fight to the death.
• Chang Yonghuang struck the Divine Shuttle Ship with a palm attack, forcing Shi Douxing and Sikong Jing back toward Reverse Blade City’s center.

Sikong Jing’s forces turned Chang Yonghuang’s planned massacre of Reverse Blade City’s refugees into an ambush, trapping part of the Qianyuan troops inside the city’s grand formation. Chang Yihuang ordered the core forces outside to break the barrier as the slaughter continued.

• Chang Yonghuang ordered his troops to attack the refugees gathered outside Reverse Blade City.
• A Qianyuan soldier discovered that the child he had seized was a doll, and the disguised woman killed him.
• The supposed refugees revealed themselves as armed fighters and ambushed the Qianyuan troops on Sikong Jing’s command.
• Shi Douxing activated the city’s grand formation, cutting off the Qianyuan soldiers inside from the forces outside.
• Sikong Jing ordered the trapped soldiers slaughtered and the attackers to retreat after the assault.
• Chang Yihuang demanded that his forces break the formation’s barrier.

Sikong Jing’s plan trapped the Qianyuan Holy Demon soldiers inside Reverse Blade City, where Shi Douxing’s forces killed nearly all of them. After the survivors retreated into the city, Shi Douxing faced Chang Yonghuang and taunted him for underestimating Reverse Blade City.

• Chang Yonghuang failed to break Reverse Blade City’s barrier alone, and Shi Douxing revealed that his apparent surrender and the refugees’ weakness had been a ruse.
• Chang Yonghuang formed an Army-Slaying Formation to attack the barrier, but Sikong Jing ordered Shi Douxing to withdraw it and counter with the Reverse Star Army-Slaying Formation.
• The two Army-Slaying strikes collided, and Sikong Jing directed the disguised faction leaders to activate smaller formations that shielded Reverse Blade City’s fighters from the shockwaves.
• The shockwaves killed many unprotected Qianyuan Holy Demon soldiers, while the disguised fighters suffered no losses and retreated into the city after dismissing their formations.
• Shi Douxing and Chang Yonghuang faced each other after the clash, and Shi Douxing taunted Chang Yonghuang for underestimating his enemy.

Chang Yonghuang prepared a devastating Army-Slaying Formation strike against Reverse Blade City, while Sikong Jing rallied the defenders with news of Willow Leaf Holy Manor reinforcements. Sikong Jing left the city to meet them, and Reverse Blade City activated its five defensive barriers as the enemy prepared to attack.

• Chang Yonghuang ordered Chang Yihuang to destroy the barrier formation's foundation and joined Chang Lehuang in gathering the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall forces for a powerful strike against Reverse Blade City and its disguised refugees.
• Sikong Jing told the defenders to activate every defensive formation and preserve their lives, assuring them the enemy would struggle to launch a second strike after the first.
• Sikong Jing revealed that the first reinforcements were from Willow Leaf Holy Manor, and ordered the city's experts to prepare to repair two defensive formations if they fell.
• Sikong Jing told Shi Douxing to unleash Reverse Blade City's Army-Slaying Formation when Sikong Jing's formation aura appeared outside, then vanished from the Divine Shuttle Ship to meet the reinforcements.
• Shi Douxing reassured the others that Sikong Jing would find a way out, and the Reverse Blade Sect activated five layers of defensive barriers.

Chang Yonghuang’s Army-Slaying Formation shattered Reverse Blade City’s first four defensive formations, leaving Sect Master Zhang and the refugees in disguise exposed. Sikong Jing used the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation to shield them, but Chang Yonghuang then sent a hundred complete Spearform Meteors toward his position.

• Chang Yonghuang unleashed Spearform Meteors that destroyed the first three defensive formations and battered the fourth.
• Sikong Jing appeared among Sect Master Zhang and the refugees, ordered them to release their true energy, and linked them into the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation.
• The fourth defensive formation shattered, and Sikong Jing used blood arrows to block the falling fragments of the Spearform Meteors.
• Chang Yonghuang recognized Sikong Jing’s strong formation control and sent a hundred complete Spearform Meteors toward the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation.

Sikong Jing saved Sect Master Zhang and the other formation masters by controlling the Bloodforged and Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formations at once. He then ordered them to retreat into Reverse Blade City when its final defense failed, while he left to join Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s reinforcements.

• Sikong Jing ordered Sect Master Zhang and the other formation masters to break their links to the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation and form ten thousand Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formations.
• Sikong Jing connected their formations to the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation, then used its halberd beams to clash with Chang Yonghuang’s spear-shaped meteors.
• Sikong Jing used the Bloodforged Arrow Form to destroy the falling fragments and save Sect Master Zhang and the others, though they were injured.
• Sikong Jing told the formation masters to enter Reverse Blade City as soon as its fifth defensive formation broke.
• Sikong Jing said he would leave to join Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s reinforcements and urged everyone to hold out until the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce’s true reinforcements arrived.

Sikong Jing handed control of the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation to Lao Er and escaped underground after suffering internal injuries. As Reverse Blade City’s defenses continued to crumble, its defenders retreated under Shi Douxing’s protection while Chang Yonghuang delayed another attack to investigate the enemy’s preparations and possible leaks.

• Sikong Jing passed the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation to Lao Er, told Sect Master Zhang and the others to survive, and disappeared through a pit after blood appeared beneath his mask.
• The fifth defensive formation shattered, and Sect Master Zhang led the disguised refugees toward the center of Reverse Blade City under the formation’s cover.
• Lao Er failed to control the diverse group, prompting the refugees to marvel that Commander Dark Wing had controlled them—and two formations—so easily.
• Shi Douxing destroyed the remaining spear-shaped meteors, while A Gun led the refugees farther into the city.
• Chang Yonghuang held back from attacking again and ordered an investigation into how Reverse Blade City had learned of their plans and whether Willow Leaf City was also prepared.

Chang Yonghuang’s army advanced on Reverse Blade City while its defenders repaired the formations, and the returning fighters described Sikong Jing’s feats to Shi Douxing. Shi Douxing publicly denied that Sikong Jing had controlled two formations, but privately recognized the danger of revealing Sikong Jing’s Dual Spirit Shadows.

• Chang Yonghuang ordered Chang Yihuang to destroy Reverse Blade City’s formation bases, but the repaired fourth formation activated and halted the army again.
• Shi Douxing welcomed Sect Master Zhang and the returning fighters, who credited Commander Dark Wing with rescuing them and forming the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation.
• Sect Master Zhang and Lao Er explained that Sikong Jing had controlled two Army-Slaying Formations, but Shi Douxing and the Reverse Blade Sect initially rejected their account.
• Shi Douxing suggested that a hidden expert had unleashed the second formation, prompting Sect Master Zhang and the others to question what they had witnessed.
• Shi Douxing privately acknowledged Sikong Jing’s Dual Spirit Shadows and concealed the truth to protect him from the Thousand Kings Holy Tower.

Shi Douxing concealed Sikong Jing’s identity and misled Chang Yonghuang about when the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall had been discovered, stalling its attack on Willow Leaf City. Outside the city, Sikong Jing summoned nearby demon beasts and reached scattered Willow Leaf Holy Manor troops to organize reinforcements.

• Shi Douxing told the assembled leaders that the Dark Wing Commander was Murong Jianyun’s last disciple and had come with Ba Hun’s successor, whom they believed dead.
• The Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall destroyed the fourth defensive formation, and Shi Douxing’s side raised the fifth as Chang Yonghuang’s troops advanced.
• Shi Douxing claimed the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall had been discovered three days earlier and exchanged questions with Chang Yonghuang while the two sides fought over the fifth formation.
• Sikong Jing escaped the encirclement by concealing his aura underground and summoned the surrounding small demon beasts with the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
• Sikong Jing reached several Willow Leaf Holy Manor units gathered in the forest, where their minor leaders were discussing the terrifying events in Reverse Blade City.

Sikong Jing revealed himself to Willow Leaf minor leaders as Dark Wing and used Ye Wucan’s token to take command of the forces gathering near Reverse Blade City. He brought them close enough to identify the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall army, as Chang Yonghuang prepared to attack Shi Douxing again.

• Sikong Jing appeared before the Willow Leaf minor leaders and explained that Reverse Blade City was now the main battlefield.
• Sikong Jing showed Ye Wucan’s Willow Leaf Token and ordered the leaders to accept his command and bring their squads to Reverse Blade City.
• Sikong Jing used the Duoye Twelve Seals to conceal the Willow Leaf squads as they traveled through the forest.
• The Willow Leaf leaders saw the vast Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall army, and Sikong Jing warned them that it planned to slaughter the Willow Leaf City region.
• Chang Yonghuang threatened to strike Reverse Blade City with Spearform Meteors and force Shi Douxing to reveal how the Reverse Blade Sect had discovered his forces.

Sikong Jing arrived with a small force of Willow Leaf troops as Reverse Blade City’s defenses collapsed, and he concealed his numbers by deploying a battle-killing formation. After Shi Douxing’s attack was easily destroyed, Chang Yihuang launched a devastating counterattack at Sikong Jing’s force.

• Chang Yonghuang’s forces shattered Reverse Blade City’s fifth defensive barrier, leaving the city exposed as Shi Douxing waited anxiously for Sikong Jing’s reinforcements.
• Chang Lehuang sent a message bird to warn Pei Chang and Pei Yupo, but Sikong Jing shot it down with an arrow.
• Sikong Jing forcibly took control of the hesitant Willow Leaf troops and used the Duoye Twelve Seals to disguise their formation as a Willow Leaf battle-killing formation.
• Sikong Jing ordered Shi Douxing to use the Reverse Star Army-Slaying Formation, but Chang Yonghuang destroyed its attack with a fraction of his formation power.
• Chang Yihuang formed an army-slaying attack and sent a powerful fist toward Sikong Jing and the Willow Leaf troops.

Sikong Jing unleashed the Beast Slaughter Array, using gathered monster beasts to overwhelm the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army and conceal the Willow Leaf forces’ true numbers. As Chang Yonghuang redirected his attack toward him, Sikong Jing ordered the Willow Leaf troops to retreat.

• Sikong Jing unleashed the Beast Slaughter Array, which swept through the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army’s rear troops before Chang Yonghuang stopped it.
• Shi Douxing used the Reverse Star Army-Slaying Formation to draw Chang Yonghuang’s attention back toward Reverse Blade City.
• Chang Lehuang rushed toward the forest to discover the Willow Leaf forces’ numbers, but Sikong Jing summoned endless wolf-shaped soldiers to block him and attack the Qianyuan forces.
• Chang Yonghuang ordered the Divine Shuttle soldiers to enter the forest, and Sikong Jing summoned Dark Wing demon dragons to attack the Divine Shuttle Ship.
• Sikong Jing ordered all Willow Leaf troops to retreat as Chang Yonghuang focused his battle-killing power on him.

Sikong Jing tricked Chang Yonghuang into unleashing Spearform Meteors on the forest to relieve the siege of Reverse Blade City. He then ordered the city’s forces to charge out and fight the Qianyuan Holy Demon army at close quarters.

• Sikong Jing ordered the Willow Leaf troops and the beasts to scatter as Chang Yonghuang prepared Spearform Meteors.

• Sikong Jing assigned the Reverse Blade Sect to hold off Chang Yonghuang and led the rest of Reverse Blade City’s forces into the Qianyuan Holy Demon army, beginning a close-quarters melee.

Sikong Jing led Reverse Blade City’s tens of thousands of Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formations in a charge that disrupted Chang Yonghuang’s formation and turned the melee against the Qianyuan Holy Demon forces. Chang Lehuang found Sikong Jing among her troops, broke his wolf-shadow disguise, and demanded to know when he had left the city.

• Chang Yonghuang summoned demon shadows and suppressed Shi Douxing’s Reverse Star Army-Slaying Formation as their patterns overlapped.
• Sikong Jing activated the Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation and ordered tens of thousands of formations to charge the Qianyuan Holy Demon troops.
• The hundred-man formations shattered demon shadows, cut through the enemy army, and gave Shi Douxing room to resist Chang Yonghuang.
• Chang Yonghuang ordered Chang Yihuang and Chang Lehuang to destroy the hundred-man formations, while Chang Lehuang reported finding the commander directing Reverse Blade City.
• Chang Lehuang scattered Sikong Jing’s wolf shadow with a stream of true qi, revealing him before the Qianyuan Sacred Demon soldiers, then asked when he had left the city.

Sikong Jing escaped Chang Lehuang by using his blood to send the Qianyuan Holy Devil army’s demon mounts into a frenzy, then concealed himself by merging with one of them. As Chang Lehuang searched for him, Sikong Jing realized he could not stay hidden for long because Reverse Blade City was losing its army-slaying formations.

• Chang Lehuang confronted the masked Sikong Jing and tried to capture him and remove his mask.
• Sikong Jing threw a drop of his blood at Chang Lehuang, provoking the Qianyuan Holy Devil army’s demon mounts into a rampage that blocked her pursuit.
• Sikong Jing slipped into one demon mount, stunned its consciousness, and concealed himself by merging with its aura.
• Chang Lehuang sealed off the surrounding area and searched for Sikong Jing, but the demon mounts could not identify the blood they had devoured.
• Sikong Jing recognized his blood as the cause of the frenzy and worried that Reverse Blade City would suffer heavy losses while Chang Yihuang destroyed its army-slaying formations.

Sikong Jing used his Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation to disrupt the Qianyuan Holy Demon's formations and turn the battle around. He revealed himself as Dark Wing, commander of Reverse Blade City, and ended the chapter by precisely killing every Qianyuan Holy Demon soldier mixed among tens of thousands of formations.

• Sikong Jing used Forced Troop Control to turn Qianyuan Holy Demon soldiers' true qi into a giant blade, breaking Chang Lehuang's barrier and sowing chaos as he fled toward Reverse Blade City.
• Sikong Jing fought through the soldiers and linked his formation patterns to several hundred Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formations, striking at Chang Lehuang with a halberd-shaped formation.

• Sikong Jing's sword shadows precisely killed all Qianyuan Holy Demon soldiers mingled among the formations, shocking both sides and Chang Lehuang.

Sikong Jing used the Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formations to annihilate a section of the Qianyuan Holy Demon army without harming Reverse Blade City's troops, then turned the battlefield into a chaotic melee. Chang Yonghuang ordered Chang Lehuang and Chang Yihuang to capture Sikong Jing, while Shi Douxing blocked Chang Yonghuang and Sikong Jing kept fighting with Reverse Blade City's formations.

• Sikong Jing explained how his Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formations let him destroy enemies inside the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation without harming his own troops.
• Chang Yonghuang concluded Sikong Jing was from the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce and ordered his forces to attack.
• Sikong Jing unleashed Army-Slaying Wolf Shadow, then dispersed the Tyrant Soul formation and sent the Hundred-Man formations back into the Qianyuan Holy Demon army.
• Shi Douxing intercepted Chang Yonghuang as Chang Lehuang and Chang Yihuang charged after Sikong Jing to capture him alive.
• Sikong Jing retreated among Reverse Blade City's troops and used army-slaying formations to contend with the two Emperors as fighting engulfed the battlefield.

The Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion delivered Commander Dark Wing’s orders to the Willow Leaf reinforcements, while Sikong Jing ended the chapter trapped between the two emperors in a gorge.

• The Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion ordered the surviving Willow Leaf troops to surround Reverse Blade City, cut off its communications, and carry out a second task to prevent Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s destruction.
