CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER

Yun Cang Mountain Range, Broken Dragon Grand Canyon.

This place is the only passageway to the Trapped Dragon Abyss, very narrow, allowing only two to three people to walk side by side, flanked by cliffs, dangerous terrain, easy to defend and hard to attack.

The Fighting Hall, Mountain Guardian Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall finally all gathered here, setting up heavy barriers to resist the enemy’s invasion.

At this moment, the First Seat of Cyan Cloud Peak, Profound Sun Taoist, First Seat of Yellow Dragon Peak, Withered Bamboo Elder, Great Elder Zeng Shouren of Fighting Hall, Great Elder Zheng Weixian of Mountain Guardian Hall, and Great Elder Li Tingfeng of Law Enforcement Hall gathered together.

The remaining thirty-two Inner Peak Elders, over a hundred Inner Peak True Inheritances, and over a thousand Outer Peak Elders and disciples awaited orders.

Except for the Acting Sect Leader in seclusion at the Trapped Dragon Abyss, the other five halls guarding important areas in the sect, and the two First Seats with several Elders and True Inheritances exploring Black Shark Loose Man’s relics, everyone else was present.

It must be said that as a major sect overseeing Liangzhou, even with these five halls stationed without exiting, and some elite not in the sect, it still has such terrifying strength.

The elders here alone could sweep through a state, if not for the enemy’s combined three forces, it would be impossible to shake this millennial great sect.

Profound Sun Taoist and Withered Bamboo Elder stood side by side, the three Great Elders followed behind them, and the five formed a formation, with many elders and disciples behind them.

They confronted the black mass of people opposite, the ground still littered with many weapons and bodies, blood everywhere, the scene incredibly bloody and tragic.

"You State’s Celestial Ghost Sect, Yan State’s Cyan Simurgh Sect, Liangzhou’s Iron Banner Association." Profound Sun Taoist’s voice was extremely cold, the other side did not bother hiding their identities, nearly emptied their nests, combining the power of three sides to create such a large formation.

These three sects are all major sects second only to a state’s overlord, with a long history and deep foundation, except they have never produced Celestial Human strongpersons, their strength is not much behind overlord-level sects.

The overlord of You State is Youdu, Yan State’s is the Sunset Sect, and Liangzhou’s is the Yun Cang Sword Sect.

Today’s Lord of Youdu stepped onto the Path of the Celestial Human, shaking the Martial World; Sunset Sect has three Half-Step Celestial Humans, with the supreme treasure Sunset Bow suppressing the mountain gate, a Half-Step Celestial Human strongperson can risk their life to shoot down a Celestial Human.

Only the Yun Cang Sword Sect, although it has the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword inheritance that can sweep the world and make Celestial Humans bow, no one in the current generation has mastered it, showing signs of decline in recent years.

"You insignificant little sects dare to covet my Yun Cang, truly reckless." Profound Sun Taoist sternly scolded, "After today, your sects will be destroyed as revenge for today’s deep blood feud."

The Celestial Ghost Sect Leader was wiry thin, like a dried corpse wrapped in skin and bones, his whole body including his face wrapped in black cloth, looked as if dug out from a coffin, very terrifying.

This person let out a strange cackle, his voice sounded as if cut by blades, harsh, "Profound Sun old man, stop with this nonsense, we dared to come today, already prepared to lay down our lives."

"Indeed." The Cyan Simurgh Sect Leader, a woman with a cold, noble demeanor, wore a palace dress embroidered with the Divine Bird Cyan Simurgh, holding the sect’s treasure, Cyan Simurgh Sword.

"The Yun Cang Sword Sect occupies the Yun Cang Mountain Range, monopolizing the Dragon Blood Grass, Dragon Scale Jade, Cangjiao Divine Pearl unique to the Trapped Dragon Abyss, not allowing them to flow outward."

"These treasures are born of the heavens and earth, meant for virtuous people to enjoy, you’ve hoarded them for a thousand years, now it’s time to return them to the public."

The Iron Banner Association’s Grand Leader laughed hideously, "The Yun Cang Sword Sect has oppressed our Iron Banner Association over the years, even wiped out three of our branch halls, in just twenty years three Grand Leaders died by your hands."

"How can we not avenge such a deep blood feud?"

"Now it’s time for the Yun Cang Sword Sect to perish, henceforth the Yun Cang Mountain Range shall be shared by our three factions, the treasures and divine skills within should be for all in the world."

The Great Elder of the Fighting Hall, a woman wearing an iron mask, black Profound Armor, draped in a Blood Cloak, holding a Profound Iron Long Spear, spoke with a somewhat raspy voice, "Stop with the grandiose nonsense, you’re just after our sect’s Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and divine skills."

"You dare not provoke Youdu, nor Sunset, but set your sights on the Yun Cang Sword Sect."

"Heh, you really take us for soft persimmons."

"Today you’ll find you miscalculated, any thief who invades Yun Cang will be buried here, no one will escape."

"Hahaha, anyone can talk big." The Celestial Ghost Sect Leader cackled maliciously, "With just you people, you think to stop us?"

"Everyone, stop wasting words with them, today no matter the cost, we must kill them all, or not only will our past efforts be wasted, but we will also be held accountable in the future."

The reason both sides stood in stalemate was because the Broken Dragon Grand Canyon was easy to defend and hard to attack, the three factions hesitated to lose too many people here.

When the Celestial Ghost Sect Leader spoke, the three sect leaders glanced at each other, their eyes flashing with cold determination.

"At this point, we have no way out." The Cyan Simurgh Sect Leader drew her sword with a clang, the blade made of unknown precious anomalous iron, flowed with clear light like water, emitting a clear phoenix call.

"Indeed, today it’s either you die or I perish, if we don’t annihilate the Yun Cang Sword Sect, we’ll be called to account in the future."

In the Iron Banner Sect, someone wielding two black iron maces clashed them violently, emitting a harsh metallic sound.

"No retreat, kill!"

As both sides were about to clash again, suddenly a figure shot out from the oblique rear, their lightweight technique was extraordinary, like flying through the air, streaking across the sky.

The invading enemies looked up, but the figure had already shot far away, out of reach.

"How bold!"

Among the three sects were many experts, noticing the anomaly, someone immediately soared into the sky to intercept the intruder.

Pfft!

The figure in a red dress merely flashed past, and the interceptor immediately screamed and fell from the sky like a broken kite.

Upon closer inspection, they were already struck with shattered internal organs, constantly spitting blood, clearly doomed.

"Courting death!"

This scene completely enraged the crowd from the three sects, and for a moment, a dozen elder-level experts charged out, Sword Qi, Fist Gang, and True Qi surged, covering them like a Heaven and Earth Net.

However, that figure was like a Lingbo Fairy, lightly tapping toes, treading on the enemy’s Sword Qi and Fist Gang, unharmed, skimmed across the web like a dragonfly touching water.

Splatter! Splatter! Splatter!

The next moment, blood splattered the sky, dyeing a large part of the sky red like silk.

The figure evaded interception, seemingly unstoppable, ghostlike, flashing by the ones who attacked earlier.

Seventeen elder-level experts bled into the sky, fell hard amidst screams of pain and wails, beaten to death barehanded on the spot.

"Where are you going!"

The three Sect Leaders saw this and couldn’t let her leave, and immediately, the three of them gave chase, their eyes flashing fiercely.
