Chapter 2890: Axe Flying from Beyond the Heavens
"Tianzun, what's wrong?"
"Someone released a Jin Jia Divine General, chopping down a Mandara Pillar, in the southeast direction." Mandara Pillars are those large silver pillars used to support the Wind-Stilling Barrier. Missing one pillar, and the barrier has a flaw.
Gao Huaiyuan immediately said: "I'll send people over to prop it up."
"It can self-repair; the barrier will soon be restored intact." Pi Litian's brow did not relax, "Wrong, two more fell!"
Just like a large battle formation, there is a complementary function between the twelve silver pillars. Only one falling, the Stagnation-Solidification Barrier is still not too affected, but two or more falling won't do.
Three falling, that's one-quarter ruined; although not to the point of the whole formation being damaged, the protective effect within the regional range is gone.
"Dispatch people over as fast as possible, drive away the destroyers..." His complexion suddenly turned heavy and solemn, "Bad, something slipped in!"
As he spoke, from who knows where a faint-red meteor flew, smashing toward Gao Huaiyuan's main tent.
At first it hid in the sky-full of wind and sand and was inconspicuous; after all, visibility above the battlefield was not high, and no one wanted to voluntarily look up when a gale raged, lest they get a nose and mouth full of sand.
And it concealed its tracks while descending, until near the ground it suddenly revealed its true form from the void; at this moment the distance to the main tent was already less than five zhang!
Where is this any meteor, this is clearly a giant axe, its blade nearly as wide as an ordinary city gate. It spun as it approached in the air, the cold-glinting axe edge reflecting the tent guards' utterly horrified expressions.
Blood-Blade Flying Axe!
This giant object even carried its own gang wind over five zhang long; as it smashed down on Gao Huaiyuan's main tent, it vividly interpreted what is called "the might of heavenly retribution," by no means comparable to a meteorite. The Beijia army had originally added seven or eight defensive formations on top of the Wind-Stilling Barrier; at this moment they burst into a sky-full of brilliant colors under the axe gang's pressure.
Four guards still stood outside the tent; before they could utter a sound they were blasted into a ground-full of minced meat by the powerful gang wind.
The Blood-Blade Flying Axe's pressure also triggered seven or eight summoned creatures, some corporeal, some phantoms; if He Lingchuan's assassination squad planned to infiltrate the tent, they would very likely trigger these restrictions.
But now, they were all knocked out by the Blood Axe Flying Blade's tyrannical single strike, and shattered one after another.
This is Baizhantian's natal magic treasure; even with the old master dead, it is still an incomparably brutal divine weapon, inherently containing terrifying power.
Back then, Baizhantian's three chops that split Tiger Wing General — Gao Huaiyuan watched from afar and saw the first two chops, both making his heart run cold; who would have expected the wheel of fortune to turn, that he would also have to taste the Blood-Blade Flying Axe's ferocity?
A gang wind chopped down head-on; the tent that could withstand a hundred arrows' sneak attack was ruined.
Gao Huaiyuan had just raised his head when he saw cold light flashing directly above, crimson lightning chopping straight before his eyes!
Like the sound of tearing silk, but amplified hundreds of times.
Simultaneously, the Pi Litian avatar standing beside him also emitted silver light.
People on the other two peaks of Long Gang heard the movement, ran out to look, and were so shocked their mouths couldn't close:
Not only was the commander's main tent gone, the peak was gone, even the entire hill was cut in two from top to bottom by the giant axe!
The few high hills on the Panlong Wasteland, after countless years of wind and rain, geological changes, each one is hard goods; before the Blood-Blade Flying Axe they were soft like a piece of sponge cake.
The axe head directly sank into the earth, leaving a long, straight, deep trench across the whole hill.
The might of this one axe, unexpectedly reached such a degree.
Gao Huaiyuan's main tent, because it was far from the battlefield, and the Panlong army was blocked at the Natural Bridge, with a million Beijia troops between them and Gao Huaiyuan, the threat he faced was far less than the front line; he did not expect to suffer an attack of this level.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The rear logistics camp turned into a pot of porridge. After a brief stunned daze, nearby elites all rushed forward, attempting to go to the scene to rescue the commander and his staff.
A guard battalion was originally stationed on the peak, specially guarding the main tent. Now it disappeared without a trace along with the main tent.
If Gao Huaiyuan is still alive, most likely he is also under the deep trench chopped out by the Blood-Blade Flying Axe.
So many Beijia people all ran there.
Assassinating Gao Huaiyuan, shouldn't it be sneaky? After all, the Panlong main force is all at the great front line.
Who could have expected the enemy's attack would actually be this violent and open?
Just at this moment, a human figure flashed into existence above the abyss. The voice was not loud, but transmitted across the whole field:
"Everyone halt, no moving!"
It was actually Pi Litian who came.
He is most skilled in spatial divine arts, even able to teleport enemies hundreds of li away. Then him teleporting directly from the front line to the rear logistics camp is merely a piece of cake.
As he spoke, a silver light emerged from his godhead, sweeping in all directions, instantly enveloping the entire Long Gang.
Stagnation-Solidification Barrier!
Once this barrier opens, everyone inside, whether running or looking up, has their movements instantly slowed. If not for them having Yuanli on their bodies, at this moment they would be unable to move at all.
And people outside the barrier, the moment they rush into the silver light they are rebounded back, as if they crashed into an invisible air wall.
Pi Litian not only returned in time, but also used divine arts to seal off the entire Long Gang.
He shouted sternly: "The assassins are among you, ferret them all out."
Assassins inside the barrier? The several Beijia generals who ran over were startled, looking at each other in dismay.
Right, after the assassins released the Blood-Blade Flying Axe, they would certainly still have to rush over to check on Gao Huaiyuan's life or death.
The Blood-Blade Flying Axe made such a huge commotion, nearby Beijia elites would certainly surround the place, and the assassins would just happen to mix among them, the better to deliver a finishing blow to the assassination target.
Pi Litian precisely calculated this point, so he deployed the barrier at the first moment, to prevent them from escaping. This barrier prohibits escape arts.
The Beijia generals reacted and immediately began counting their own people inside the barrier, especially focusing on screening those close to the scene, the dozen or so who rushed fastest.
Investigation revealed something wrong indeed. A soldier had originally already rushed to the abyss edge; now seeing Beijia people approach, he actually turned and ran. Too bad, inside Pi Litian's barrier, his running was also labored, hands and feet as if filled with lead.
With this move, Pi Litian spotted him, pointed a finger at him, and shouted: "Freeze!"
This person was instantly frozen, maintaining a running posture he fell straight to the ground.
Oh ho, wanting to slip away right in front of a Great Heavenly God?
Beijia people swarmed up, bound his hands, and took off his helmet; sure enough, a strange face.
Soon, the screening ended; inside the barrier there was only this one Panlong person who had mixed in, no second one found.
A Beijia general delivered two punches to the assassin's abdomen, beating him until his body hunched: "Where are your accomplices?"
This person spat two mouthfuls of blood, didn't even look at him, only stared at Pi Litian with a cold laugh, not speaking.
