Chapter 439: The City Lord's Decisiveness

Outside the city.

Upon seeing the masked woman, a flash of gravity crossed the eyes of Xiaoyue Zhenren and Yaoguang Xianzi.

"Linglong, it has been no more than ten years since our last battle, and we meet again."

Xiaoyue Zhenren's gray-white hair danced in the wind as his gaze fell upon the woman with her face veiled in light gauze.

Linglong is the very name of the City Lord of Wenxian City.

This name is known to very few in the current Wenxian City.

Linglong looked at the Beast Tide continuously launching assaults on Wenxian City, then at the dragon beast suppressing the four Vice City Lords, and finally looked at Xiaoyue Zhenren, "Last time you were defeated and returned, yet you come to invade in such force so soon..."

"Are these savage beasts your source of confidence?"

"Why? Is it not enough?" Xiaoyue Zhenren smiled.

Linglong shook her head, "Call out all your people; these savage beasts alone are not enough to break Wenxian City."

Xiaoyue Zhenren squinted his eyes and watched Linglong for a moment.

Linglong merely looked at him indifferently, her face showing not a trace of emotion.

"Heh, playing the mystery."

Xiaoyue Zhenren gave a cold laugh, "Since you feel it is not enough, then I shall satisfy you."

As soon as the words fell.

He flicked his finger.

A streak of Spirit Light flew into the high sky and exploded.

Intense radiance instantly enveloped the entire sky.

The next moment.

Nearly a thousand figures appeared from the far end behind the Beast Tide.

Among these people.

There were over twenty cultivators of the Eighth-Order Will Stage.

There were nearly a hundred cultivators of the Seventh-Order Will Stage.

The remaining cultivators.

All had cultivation levels above the Fourth-tier Will.

If not for the strength-boosting City Protection Array, these cultivators alone would be enough to crush the defensive forces of Wenxian City.

As these people approached rapidly.

Xiaoyue Zhenren looked at Linglong, "Now, is it enough?"

Linglong frowned as she watched the group of figures approaching rapidly, saying nothing.

She flicked her finger.

A surge of Spiritual Power rushed into the air.

The next moment.

Over a thousand figures also appeared within Wenxian City.

These were the cultivators specifically drafted and teleported into the Outer Realm Battlefield by the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace to deal with this battle.

Although their numbers were not small.

Their overall cultivation was far inferior to the cultivators from Outside the Realm.

The strongest were only Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivators, and there were fewer than thirty of them.

A moment later.

The two sides of cultivators drew near, and without the slightest hesitation, they slaughtered each other.

This formed a third battlefield independent of the Beast Tide and the dragon beast.

Normally speaking.

With such a massive disparity in strength.

The cultivators rushing out from Wenxian City would only be crushed when facing those cultivators from Outside the Realm.

But with the boost from the City Protection Array, they barely had the strength to fight.

Xiaoyue Daoren stood outside the battlefield, observing the situation of the third battlefield for a while.

A trace of mockery flashed across his face, "Linglong, is this your backup plan? It seems... not quite enough."

Upon hearing this, Linglong withdrew her gaze from the third battlefield and looked at Xiaoyue Daoren and Yaoguang Xianzi, "Killing the two of you will naturally turn the tide of the battle."

"Hehe, kill us?"

"Back then, even with the aid of the Formation, you only managed to fight us to a mutual defeat."

"If I am not mistaken, your injuries should not have fully recovered yet, right?"

"You could not kill us even at your peak, so what do you have to kill us with now?"

A sneer flashed across Xiaoyue Daoren's face.

"Try it and you shall know!"

Linglong spoke coldly.

The moment her words fell.

She pointed her finger.

A cold light broke through the air.

It was a Flying Sword cast as if from crystal.

Like a streak of light, it instantly appeared before Yaoguang Xianzi.

Yaoguang Xianzi's smooth brow furrowed, and a holy radiance erupted from her body.

【The Flying Sword】 blocked it.

The Flying Sword retracted, changing from a thrust to a slash.

It attacked Fairy Yaoguang once more.

Swish~

At the same time.

Linglong's figure flashed, appearing before Xiaoyue Daoren.

A pair of palms, white and jade-like, reached out and struck toward Xiaoyue Daoren's body.

Upon the palms, Spirit Light flickered.

Xiaoyue Daoren's expression tightened, and a silver radiance lit up on his body.

Boom~

The silver light around his body exploded outward.

A powerful force surged forward.

He flew backward over ten zhang, forcibly stabilizing his figure.

"Your strength truly has not fully recovered!"

Xiaoyue Zhenren, having been forced back by a single palm strike while Linglong was multitasking, did not show the slightest surprise on his face; instead, he burst into laughter.

Linglong said nothing.

She attacked Xiaoyue Daoren again.

Xiaoyue Daoren's laughter ceased, and a roar erupted from his mouth.

The sound waves condensed into a beam of shockwaves that rushed straight toward Linglong, forcing her to a halt.

On Xiaoyue Daoren's body.

Silver radiance erupted, as if it had turned into substance.

It condensed before him like thick mercury into a giant silver wolf.

The moment the silver wolf took form, it was as if it had come to life.

It roared toward the sky and ferociously pounced at Linglong.

Linglong flipped her palm, and a crystal-clear Purple Jade Treasure Jade appeared in the center of her palm.

She clenched her hand.

The Purple Jade Treasure Jade instantly turned into a large amount of purple liquid, rapidly flowing over her entire body.

It transformed into a magnificent set of Purple Jade Armor on her body.

Facing the lifelike sharp claws swiped by the silver wolf.

She did not dodge or evade; her jade hand, wrapped in the Purple Jade Armor, clenched tight and smashed out with a punch.

Dazzling purple light surged.

It condensed into a huge purple fist and rushed toward the silver wolf.

Boom!

The wolf claw collided with the purple fist.

The wolf claw was struck and sent flying upward.

Under the sweep of the immense force, the silver wolf's massive body flew backward.

Whoosh~

Just as Linglong repelled the silver wolf, a holy radiance suddenly appeared.

Fairy Yaoguang flashed into view.

A soft light shimmered on her slender fingers as she pointed toward Linglong.

This finger strike did not stir up the slightest ripple.

It looked as if it held no threat at all.

However.

Linglong did not dare to be the least bit careless.

Having clashed with the opponent many times, she knew well that this Fairy Yaoguang's strength was in no way inferior to Xiaoyue Daoren's.

This finger strike.

Was one of her killing moves!

Linglong moved her intent, and the Purple Jade Armor on her body turned into a liquid stream, rapidly condensing in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a Purple Jade Shield.

Thud!

The next moment.

The Purple Jade Shield trembled.

Fairy Yaoguang's finger landed on the jade shield.

Linglong's complexion paled, and she retreated instantly.

While retreating.

She pointed her finger forward.

A purple light flashed on the Purple Jade Shield.

It transformed again into a Purple Jade Sword, stabbing toward Fairy Yaoguang.

Holy light bloomed on Fairy Yaoguang's body.

The Purple Jade Sword was immediately obstructed and stalled for an instant.

Taking advantage of this split second, Fairy Yaoguang flashed her figure and retreated to the side of Xiaoyue Zhenren.

At the same time.

Linglong also steadied her figure.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth as she looked at Xiaoyue Daoren and Fairy Yaoguang, her brows furrowing.

In the end, she was still held back by her injuries.

Her injuries had not yet fully healed to begin with.

Under the strain of her desperate outburst, her injuries had already been aggravated.

Afterwards, she was struck by Fairy Yaoguang's full-force attack just as her strength was exhausted.

Her old wounds were completely triggered.

She looked at the other three battlefields.

Whether it was the Beast Tide battlefield, the dragon beast battlefield, or the third battlefield facing the cultivators from Outside the Realm.

The Wenxian City side was being suppressed and beaten.

If this continued, defeat was certain.

Thinking of this.

A look of determination suddenly surged onto her face.

The Spiritual Power within her body burned.

The aura around her body became incomparably violent, as if in an uproar.

She let out a muffled groan; as her injuries were aggravated, blood spilled from her mouth once again.

But she ignored it, burning her Spiritual Power to the extreme.

Sensing the violent aura suddenly erupting from Linglong's body.

Xiaoyue Daoren and Fairy Yaoguang were both startled.

"You are actually burning your Spiritual Power!"

"Are you crazy?"
