Chapter 1330: Hanging Jade Crisis

Hanging Jade Crisis

"Are we finally taking the initiative to attack?!"

Jian Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to stretch his muscles and bones, seeming ready for a big fight.

Jiang Xiaohua silently sighed. Although he preferred staying in the dirt compared to fighting, this was after all for the sake of seeing Chen Ling. He eventually stood up, imitating Jian Changsheng's movements with uncoordinated limbs, stretching stiffly.

"Although it's taking the initiative to break out, the timing and direction are extremely important."

Sun Bumian casually picked up a tree branch and began drawing on the ground. With a few strokes, he sketched out the rough layout of the battlefield ahead.

"I've roughly observed the defensive arrangements on the Hanging Jade Domain's side. It can be seen that their commander is very good at defending. The entire defense line has almost no flaws. This is good news for us, because it's evenly dispersing the attention of the Calamities in every direction."

"Next is to judge the attack plan on the Vain Mountains' side."

"To be honest, this group of Calamities really has no strategic deployment to speak of. I can only combine the trend of good and ill luck to roughly calculate the best breakout route... which is here."

"This direction seems difficult to break through, but actually the terrain is flat, most suitable for attacking or breaking out. As long as we can find an opportunity to tear an opening, there is a very high possibility of penetrating the Vain Mountains' attack deployment and directly reaching deep into the Gray World."

After all, Sun Bumian was a person who had lived for a thousand years and personally experienced countless wars. Plus, he was originally good at pursuing good fortune and avoiding disaster. This kind of simple battlefield situation judgment was as easy as flipping his hand for him.

After completely analyzing his views, he looked up at Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua:

"My judgment is roughly like this... What do you think?"

Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua squatted on the ground, staring blankly at Sun Bumian.

Sun Bumian: ...

"If you don't have any views, at least you understand which direction to go, right?"

Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua blinked harmlessly.

"... My fault, I shouldn't have had expectations for two idiots who got lost in the Gray World for half a year." Sun Bumian was somewhat speechless. "Follow me later. Whichever direction I point, you charge in that direction."

Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua nodded like pounding garlic.

Sun Bumian turned to look at Jiang Xiaohua, "Clubs, continue to shield our Auras. We will go as far as we can first... When there's truly no chance to slip through, we'll fight our way out."

"Okay!"

...

Thud——!!!

A massive stone puppet descended from the sky, smashing heavily onto a Calamity as agile as a squirrel. The terrifying force whipped up a hurricane that swept out. While crushing that Calamity into bloody foam, all the Calamities within a hundred meters around were sent flying backwards!

That massive puppet dug its hands into the earth, forcibly pulled out a super stone pillar twice as large as its own body, and roared as it threw it towards the rear of the Calamity wave!

On the shoulder of this puppet, two scribbled large words were extremely eye-catching:

——[Mountain Bearer].

The super stone pillar smashed several Calamities along the way. On both sides of the stone pillar, two equally massive afterimages flew out.

One was entirely carved with flame Markings, and the other carried a giant long saber. The two puppets exerted force simultaneously. Flames and saber light directly swept away a large swath of Calamities around them, clearing a vacuum zone for the entire battlefield, giving the Esoteric Sect figures originally besieged within a chance to catch their breath.

Those figures looked up, only to see a robed man with silver clouds embroidered on his cuffs standing in the air, dozens of giant coffins suspended in the void.

"It's Lord Tian Huai!!"

"Lord Tian Huai has taken action, we are saved!"

Bursts of joyful exclamations rang out from the battlefield, but Tian Huai's expression didn't relax in the slightest. His eyes stared solemnly at the endless Calamity figures surging like waves not far away...

He could feel that behind this group of Calamities from the Vain Mountains, several Calamities emitting terrifying Rank 8 Auras were covetously eyeing this place from afar.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..."

"Nine Rank 8s, is this the strength of a World-Ending territory?"

Tian Huai muttered to himself.

One must know, there were currently only three Rank 8s in the Hanging Jade Domain in total.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, but the Vain Mountains' Rank 8 Combat Power didn't seem anxious to attack. If not for this, the Hanging Jade Domain wouldn't be able to defend so steadily now... This seemed like a good thing to others, but to Tian Huai and the higher-ups of the Hanging Jade Domain, it might not be.

Something Out of the Ordinary Indicates Trouble. They couldn't figure out what this group of Calamities from the Vain Mountains was thinking, and this was the greatest threat to the Hanging Jade Domain.

"Brother."

A figure arrived behind Tian Huai.

Hearing this voice, the gloom on Tian Huai's face finally dissipated a little. He turned his head to look at Huai Meng behind him, saw the haggard young face, and couldn't help but frown:

"Didn't I tell you to rest a bit more? Why did you come again??"

"Brother, I've rested well!"

"What do you mean rested well? Your ability consumes brainpower the most. You fought on the frontlines for a whole day, and you just went back and slept for two hours... Look at your current state, how does it look like you've rested well??"

"Brother... I can't sleep." Huai Meng's eyes were full of bloodshot veins. "This is exactly the time of life and death for the Hanging Jade Domain, and I am the Young Sect Leader of the Esoteric Sect... How could I let everyone fight on the frontlines while I sleep in the back?"

"You..."

Tian Huai still wanted to say something, but seeing Huai Meng's stubborn eyes, he couldn't harden his heart.

He turned his head back and flicked his sleeve,

"Suit yourself... The battlefield is perilous, and I can't look after you at all times. You... be careful yourself."

"Mm!"

Huai Meng didn't hesitate in the slightest, directly charging towards the direction with the most Calamities!

After obtaining the Celestial Star Position, Huai Meng's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. In just half a year, his Rank had already reached Rank 6. His figure plummeted straight into a wave of Calamities, his silver cloud sleeves fluttering lightly in the wind.

Detecting the appearance of a human, the surrounding Calamities immediately reacted, directly changing direction and pouncing towards Huai Meng.

Facing the massive amount of Calamities surrounding him, Huai Meng stood quietly in place, with no intention of taking action at all. His pupils merely narrowed slightly, and in the next moment, it was as if some invisible existence drew a sword and swept across. Calamity heads instantly separated from their bodies, rolling to the ground with a clatter.

Countless Calamity corpses fell around Huai Meng. In his field of vision, an old man holding a sword, similarly draped in a silver cloud robe, stood towering over the corpses.

But whether it was other humans or Calamities, none could see the existence of this old man...

Because he was just a personality imagined by Huai Meng.

"Grandpa, kill them all."

Huai Meng spoke in a deep voice.

The sword-holding old man flew out. Sharp sword light began to swirl among the Calamity waves, carving out a bloody path in an instant...

Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!!

There's still one chapter, it'll be a bit later.
