"Zi, this is not what you agreed on before!"
Thunder Giant couldn't help but complain and began to blame Zi:
"You said you'd easily sweep through Thousand Souls City, but now that this cultivation prodigy has appeared, you're already thinking of backing down?"
"Moreover, you are disgracing our Eternal Clan. If the Great One find out, they will surely punish you."
The Thunder God grew increasingly enraged, and blue lightning crackled and exploded around him.
Its massive body took a step forward, looking down at Zi with a commanding gaze, its voice like muffled thunder rolling across the sky:
"You said Thousand Souls City is just a tiny place, with a Sage in charge, it can be easily swept away."
Now look what's happened! These cultivation prodigies are practically lording it over you, and you're just cowering in the back?
You have disgraced our Eternal Clan! If the Great One were to find out, they would surely punish you!
As soon as it spoke, several other Eternal Deity of the Holy Lord level beside it echoed its sentiments.
A humanoid Eternal Deity, its entire body covered in dark red scales, stuck out its forked tongue and said in a sarcastic tone:
"We are willing to follow you because of your Great One."
"So you don't even dare to touch a junior cultivator? Where will that leave the face of our Eternal Clan?"
Another deity, entirely white and shaped like a giant wolf, also snorted coldly:
" Han Xuanji is a major threat to the cultivator camp. Eliminating him before he fully matures is a golden opportunity."
If you're scared, just say so, and we'll do it ourselves.
Zi was being berated by these people, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
He cursed inwardly, "You bunch of idiots, what do you know?!"
Han Xuanji's presence here is itself suspicious.
What gives a cultivator who has just entered the Sage Realm Stage the courage to come to the front lines alone?
He absolutely refused to believe that there wasn't a trap set up by the Sacred Court behind him.
But he couldn't say it outright; saying it would make him seem cowardly.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging anger, his tone tinged with impatience:
"Alright, you go first. You can test the waters for me."
The Thunder Giant snorted coldly, completely ignoring Zi's reminder.
As a proud member of the Eternal Clan, it did not feel that these weak cultivators posed any threat to it. On the contrary, it felt that if it had acted sooner, it would have already flattened this small cultivator city.
It turned around, its body crackling with lightning, and its massive form transformed into a streak of blue-white lightning, hurtling towards Thousand Souls City.
Han Xuanji's avatar stood atop the city wall, Wuliang Eye had already caught sight of the figure enveloped in lightning.
Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, formed hand seals, and pushed the Taiqian Spirit Formation to its limit.
The protective aura around all the cultivators in the city suddenly brightened, and even Hun Qianxue felt his limbs and bones filled with power.
The Thunder Giant rushed to the city gate and slammed down with a punch.
That punch was accompanied by a burst of lightning; wherever the fist passed, the air was ionized into a blinding blue-white.
The defensive array of Thousand Souls City trembled violently, and cracks spread across the light barrier like a spider web. The entire city shook violently under the impact of this punch.
The cultivators in the city were shaken and staggered, some even sitting on the ground with their faces ashen.
Thunder God laughed heartily, his voice booming like thunder:
"Is that all? Is this all you cultivators are capable of? Today, I, the God, will unleash divine punishment to show you that the Eternal Clan is not to be trifled with!"
It had already proclaimed itself a god, its tone filled with condescending arrogance.
Han Xuanji also adopted a solemn expression, his hands forming hand seals one after another, pushing the power of the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram to its limit, and countless sword lights shot towards the Thunder Giant God.
However, the Thunder Giant was Eternal Deity of the Holy Lord level, with a powerful physical body and protected by lightning. Most of the sword lights that hit it were deflected by the lightning, and only a few left shallow wounds.
It grew increasingly triumphant with each attack, its offensive becoming more and more ferocious, until the array of light barriers in Thousand Souls City was on the verge of collapse.
The cultivators in the city began to panic, and someone shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Where are the reinforcements from Nine Mysteries City? Why haven't they arrived yet!"
The other person said in despair:
"They probably never intended to come at all!"
Zi stared intently at the battlefield from behind, his brows slightly furrowed.
It seems Han Xuanji is really about to break down.
His resolve began to waver. Could it be that the cultivator truly had no ambush?
Did he guess wrong?
Just then, " Han Xuanji " suddenly made a resolute expression, slammed his hands together, and his aura suddenly surged. The Ten Thousand Swords Diagram and the Taiqian Spirit Formation operated at overload at the same time, and the sword light and array patterns intertwined to form a huge vortex, forcibly forcing the Thunder Giant God back several steps.
Thunder God's expression changed, sensing that the counterattack's power exceeded expectations, and he hurriedly shouted behind him:
"What are you all standing there for? Attack him together! This kid won't last long!"
Seeing this, the several Saint Holy Lord- level Eternal Deity stopped observing and took action one after another.
The scaled deity spewed out a sky full of poisonous flames, and the snow-white giant wolf transformed into a white light and pounced on the city wall. The other two also Divine Ability, and Thousand Souls City was immediately in grave danger.
At this critical moment, a clear voice came from the void:
"Who dares to touch my disciple?"
Mo Chenxiao's figure broke through the clouds, followed by two elders of the Sacred Court, their auras as vast as the sea.
With a single palm strike, he sent the snow-white giant wolf flying back dozens of miles, while the two elders each intercepted an Eternal Deity.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators in the city erupted in thunderous cheers.
Mo Chenxiao was extremely satisfied, and very pleased with the script that Han Xuanji had arranged for him.
It would be strange if Han Xuanji was the only one from beginning to end.
In this kind of situation, the appearance of his "savior" is definitely necessary, which will actually make the other party relax their guard.
Sure enough, Zi's expression softened considerably when he saw this from behind.
"What a coincidence, they definitely didn't just arrive."
He thought to himself, "As expected, there was an ambush!"
However, the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord only brought two people with him, and the reinforcements did not seem to be very strong.
With his current strength, dealing with the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord would definitely be a piece of cake.
It's important to know that the power bestowed upon him by "Candle" was considerable. Not only did it allow him to directly advance to the Holy Lord level, but it also granted him the special power of "Candle," making him unafraid even when facing cultivators at the peak of the Peak Holy Lord level.
Let alone a cultivator like the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord who has just entered the Holy Lord.
"The advantage lies with us in this battle."
With a firm resolve, Zi transformed into a blood-red afterimage and charged towards the center of the battlefield.
