Boom!
The terrifying shadow of a war blade viciously cleaved down.
But it was blocked by the vast river of Sword Intent surrounding Li Qian.
"What is this?"
The Heavenly Person Li looked at this scene with a look of shock.
To fend off a Spiritual Attack shaped from the Battle Intent of a Heavenly Person Army, only a top-tier Heavenly Person would be able to withstand it.
Could the intelligence be wrong, and there’s not just one Heavenly Person Xiao from the Divine Sword Sect, but also a hidden top-tier Heavenly Person?
But top-tier Heavenly Persons are not cabbages, there are only so many in the whole of Dachang, all with names and titles; hiding in a low profile is almost impossible.
How could there be a hidden top-tier Heavenly Person within this Tai Xing Dao enclosed nation?
This is troublesome.
It means the plan to attack the Divine Sword Sect is going to fall through.
Undoubtedly, this will greatly affect Prince Ning’s subsequent strategies.
"The Spiritual Attack shaped from the Battle Intent of the Martial Arts Army is indeed very strong."
Li Qian exhaled deeply, bearing the immense pressure.
This was his first time facing a real Martial Arts Army head-on.
Moreover, it was one led by a Heavenly Person.
But, he withstood it.
"Now, it’s my turn to make a move."
He took a deep breath, his vast Sword River Intent filling the air; the Sword Qi that had gathered formed a roaring river of Sword Qi. The moon that had originally appeared from the clouds was once again obscured by this river of Sword Qi, casting darkness over the world.
"What is this?"
Heavenly Person Li felt a tremor in his soul, as if an unstoppable disaster was about to befall him.
Suddenly!
With a flick of his finger, Li Qian released a raging river of Sword Qi, flowing furiously like a great river surging down towards the Martial Arts Army below.
"Shield!"
Heavenly Person Li bellowed.
All the warriors and officers of the Martial Arts Army swiftly arranged themselves into a defensive formation. Under the guidance of Heavenly Person Li, they formed a strange invisible light shield, attempting to block the onslaught of the roaring river of Sword Qi.
However, as the river of Sword Qi bombarded the light shield, it only held for a moment before being overwhelmed by the incessant, raging stream of Sword Qi.
Heavenly Person Li watched the surging river of Sword Qi approaching with horror and fear in his eyes; he hadn’t yet managed to retreat before being engulfed by the overwhelming Sword Qi.
Countless strands of Sword Qi swept through everything in their path, turning all obstructing trees, warriors, and officers... into shredded fragments.
When the dust settled, a terrifying trench appeared in the undulating forest, over ten feet wide, more than a foot deep, and stretching two to three hundred feet long.
It was as if something huge had plowed through from beginning to end.
Inside this trench, a sea of crimson lay spread—a mixture of countless pulverized blood, flesh, tendons, and organs.
With a spurt!
At the end of the trench, a figure lay amid the mangled flesh and mud, with all his armor and clothing shattered, his body riddled with holes and not a single piece of intact flesh.
His eye sockets had turned into bloody hollows.
It was Heavenly Person Li.
"Hea... Heavenly Phenomenon..."
After mumbling these two words, he breathed his last.
"Ah, I didn’t control it well; seems the power was a bit too much."
Li Qian looked at the dead Heavenly Person and touched his nose.
He thought the defense of the Heavenly Person Army would be very strong, so he had pushed the Great River Sword Qi to its limit.
Many surviving warriors and officers in the surrounding forests were completely dazed. The sword Qi storm that had annihilated all life had utterly destroyed their courage and will.
And among the black-clad half-demon army in the rear, everyone was gaping in shock.
"Retreat."
The elder of the Moon Worship Sect tremblingly gave the order.
Immediately after, all the black-clad figures hastily retreated towards the back.
"Want to run?"
Li Qian’s eyes narrowed.
He was only feeling a throbbing pain in his brow and was very uncomfortable.
But he couldn’t let such a powerful half-demon army leave alive.
Since they had come to the Divine Sword Sect’s territory, they might as well stay.
Moreover, he wanted to know the purpose of the Martial Arts Army and the half-demon army attacking the Divine Sword Sect.
The next moment, he transformed into a golden streak of light, shooting through the night sky towards the black-clad group.
The elder of the Moon Worship Sect was scared out of his wits and roared, "Divine Transformation to meet the enemy."
Immediately, all the retreating black-clad figures stopped in unison, turned around, and began transforming into half-demons.
Thousands of over two-meters-tall half-demons formed a battle formation. Waves of fierce aura spread out, interlinking to create an overwhelming ferociousness, barely any weaker than the just-experienced Martial Arts Army.
Abruptly.
