Chapter 425: with translation of chapter title

The power of the "Taiji Wind and Thunder Formation" was fully displayed at this moment; it seemed to become an independent world, enveloping the Profound Heaven Guard.

Within this world, the Profound Heaven Guard were the masters; each of their attacks was like heavenly punishment, unstoppable.

As time passed, the situation on the battlefield grew increasingly dire.

Casualties among the Halberdiers and the ordinary Cangzhou Army kept rising, while the Profound Heaven Guard seemed tireless, continuing to launch fierce attacks.

Their spears were soaked in blood, yet their eyes remained as cold as ever.

However, the Five Elements Armor and others did not give up resistance.

They strove to block the Profound Heaven Guard's attacks, attempting to break this seemingly impregnable formation.

The Vermilion Bird's arrows also frequently shot into the Profound Heaven Guard's formation, trying to relieve their comrades.

The situation on the battlefield grew ever more tense, with both sides fighting desperately for victory.

Although the Taiji Wind and Thunder Formation was immensely powerful, the Five Elements Armor and others were no ordinary foes.

Relying on their superb martial skills and seamless coordination, they gradually found a weakness in the formation.

"Now!"

Bei Kai, who had been entangled with Yun Huai, let out a loud shout and shot like lightning into the Xuan Tian Guard's formation.

The meteor spear in his hand danced like a black dragon, each strike precisely hitting the key nodes of the formation.

Dian Nan, who had been harassing from the side with his Flaming Bow, also promptly drew his own Flaming Blade, filling the gap left by Bei Kai.

At the same time, Zhu Que fired a crimson arrow.

This arrow shot like a meteor toward Xuan Tong Dao Ren, attempting to break the core of the formation.

So line 15 is about Diannan pulling out his Flaming Blade to fill Beikai's gap. Line 16 is Zhuque shooting crimson arrow. Good.

Thus we need to translate line 15 correctly.

At the same time, Dian Nan promptly drew his Flaming Blade, filling Bei Kai's gap.

Translate: "At the same time, Diannan promptly drew his Flaming Blade, filling Beikai's gap."

At the same time, Zhu Que also shot a crimson arrow.

Translate: "At the same time, Zhuque shot a crimson arrow."

This arrow shot like a meteor toward Xuan Tong Dao Ren, attempting to break the core of the formation.

Translate: "This arrow, like a meteor, shot toward Xuantong Daoren, attempting to break the formation's core."

Clang!

Translate: "\"Clang! \"" Actually "Ding!" is a clear metallic sound, like a bell or chime. We'll use "Clang!" or "Ding!" Usually "Ding!" is a light metallic sound like a bell. We'll use "Clang!" maybe. But we need to pick an English sound word. "Ding" often translated as "Clang!" or "Ding!" I'll use "Clang!" to match metallic impact.

A clear metallic clash rang out over the chaotic battlefield, causing a brief silence.

Translate: "A clear metallic clang rang out over the chaotic battlefield, causing a brief silence."

Everyone's gaze turned toward the direction of the sound, revealing a youthful Daoist in robes, carrying a long sword, who had somehow appeared beside Xuan Tong Dao Ren.

Translate: "Everyone's gaze turned toward the source of the sound, where a young Daoist in a Daoist robe and carrying a long sword had appeared beside Xuantong Daoren at some point."

Translate: "He held a long spear whose entire body was inscribed with Taiji Eight Trigrams symbols; it was this spear that had just precisely blocked Zhuque's crimson arrow."

"Xuan Wei Zi" Chong He Qing is one of the young generation of Daoist Dharma Protectors carefully cultivated by the Daoists on the Heavenly Martial Continent, highly skilled in martial arts and well-versed in Daoist methods.

Translate: "\"Xuanweizi\" Chongheqing is one of the young generation of Daoist Dharma Protectors carefully cultivated by the Daoists on the Heavenly Martial Continent this generation, highly skilled in martial arts and well-versed in Daoist methods."

But we need to keep faithful: "is one of the young generation of Daoist Dharma Protectors carefully cultivated by the Daoists on the Heavenly Martial Continent this generation." So "is one of the young generation of Daoist Dharma Protectors carefully cultivated by the Daoists on the Heavenly Martial Continent this generation." Might be slightly awkward but okay.

He is also among the top-ranked Daoist war gods on the future Heavenly Martial Continent's rankings of heroes.

Translate: "He is also a top-ranked Daoist War God on the future Heavenly Martial Continent's Rankings!"

Beneath him rides a divine steed, pitch-black all over, hooves treading snow, named "Treading Cloud Black Qilin," now standing quietly at the edge of the battlefield, as if also observing the situation.

Translate: "Beneath him was a divine steed, pitch-black all over, its hooves treading snow, named the Cloud-Treading Black Steed, which now stood quietly at the edge of the battlefield, as if also observing the situation."

Translate: "Xuanweizi's appearance seemed to inject a shot of adrenaline into the Taiping Sect's soldiers."

His spear, named the "Eight Trigrams Soul-Subduing Spear," is not only unmatched in sharpness but also infused with profound Daoist power; the spear shaft gleams with a cold light, as if able to suppress all evil spirits.

Translate: "The long spear in his hand, named the Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd, was not only unmatched in sharpness but also imbued with the Daoists' profound mystical power; the halberd's body flickered with a cold light, as if it could suppress all evil spirits."

As he wields the spear, it seems to draw the power of heaven and earth, inspiring awe.

Zhu Que watched her arrow being blocked, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

Anyone who could easily block her arrow is no ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Chong He Qing did not stop; he brandished his spear, pointing it at Zhu Que, as if challenging her.

Translate: "And Chongheqing did not stop; he swung his halberd, pointing it at Zhuque, as if issuing her a challenge."

"Daoist Xuan Wei Zi, I have come to learn your techniques!"

Translate: "\"Daoist Xuanweizi, I have come to learn your supreme techniques! \""

Chong He Qing's voice was loud and firm, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Translate: "Chongheqing's voice was loud and firm, revealing an overwhelming aura."

"Oh? The Daoist protector of this generation? Indeed, your reputation is well-deserved, but blocking my arrow won't be that easy!"

Translate: "\"Oh? A Daoist Dharma Protector of this generation? Indeed, your reputation is not unfounded, but blocking my arrow won't be that easy! \"

Zhu Que smirked, nocked another arrow, and aimed at Chong He Qing.

Translate: "Zhuque snorted coldly, nocked another arrow, and aimed at Chongheqing."

Chong He Qing showed no fear, directly urging his steed, the Treading Cloud Black Qilin, to charge toward Zhu Que.

Translate: "Chongheqing, showing no fear, directly urged his Cloud-Treading Black Steed forward, charging at Zhuque."

Clang!

Note: line 36 starts with a quote and then continues? Actually line 36 is: "Ding!" Then line 37 starts the skill description. The original lines:

"Ding!"

A clear metallic clang rang out above the chaotic battlefield, causing a brief silence.

Everyone's gaze focused on the direction of the sound, only to see a young Daoist clad in a Daoist robe and carrying a long sword, who had somehow appeared beside the Profound Truth Daoist.

He held a halberd whose entire body was inscribed with Taiji Eight Trigrams symbols; it was this halberd that had just precisely blocked the scarlet arrow shot by the Vermilion Bird.

"Xuanweizi" Chongheqing is one of the young generation of Daoist Guardians carefully cultivated on the Tianwu Continent, highly skilled in martial arts and well-versed in Daoist methods.

He is also destined to rank among the top on the Tianwu Continent's future rankings, a top-tier Daoist War God!

Beneath him was a divine warhorse, pitch-black all over, its hooves treading snow, named the Cloud-treading Black Steed, which now stood quietly at the edge of the battlefield, as if also observing the situation.

The appearance of Xuanweizi seemed to inject a shot of adrenaline into the soldiers of the Taiping Sect.

His halberd, named the Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd, was not only unmatched in sharpness but also imbued with profound Daoist mystical power; the blade flashed with a cold light, as if it could suppress all demons.

As he wielded the halberd, it seemed able to summon the power of heaven and earth, inspiring awe.

The Vermilion Bird watched as her arrow was blocked, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

Anyone who could easily block her arrow was certainly no ordinary person.

And Chongheqing did not stop; he swung his halberd, pointing it at the Vermilion Bird, as if challenging her.

"Daoist Xuanweizi, I have come specially to learn your high techniques!"

Chongheqing's voice was loud and firm, revealing an unmatched domineering aura.

"Oh? A Daoist Guardian of this generation? Indeed, the reputation is deserved, but wanting to block my arrow is not that easy!"

The Vermilion Bird snorted coldly, nocked another arrow, and aimed at Chongheqing.

And Chongheqing showed no fear, directly urging his Cloud-treading Black Steed forward to charge at the Vermilion Bird.

Clang!

Fierce combat erupted once again on the battlefield.

Chongheqing urged his Cloud-treading Black Steed, which was like a black lightning bolt tearing across the battlefield, straight toward the Vermilion Bird.

His Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd gleamed in the sunlight, the Taiji Eight Trigrams symbols flowing with mysterious radiance, as if it could suppress evil in all directions.

A glint of cold light flashed in the Vermilion Bird's eyes; she tightened her bowstring again, the scarlet arrow condensing scorching flames as it tore through the air, aiming straight for Chongheqing.

The arrow tore through the air, carrying a howling sound, as if it could rend space.

However, Chongheqing's expression did not change; he drew a deep breath, and an azure-green aura suddenly surged around his body.

This aura swirled like azure smoke and flowed like water, enveloping his entire body.

The scarlet arrow shot into this azure-green aura, as if sinking into a mire, its speed sharply dropping.

"Hah! Daoist aura, indeed living up to its reputation!"

The Vermilion Bird snorted coldly, her bowstring trembling continuously as she fired arrow after arrow at Chongheqing.

Chongheqing brandished the Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd; each swing set the pale azure-green aura around him rolling and surging.

He seemed to incarnate as a Daoist War God, bearing the Vermilion Bird's arrow storm, advancing firmly toward her.

The arrows clashed with the aura, producing a metallic ringing, sparks flying everywhere.

"This generation's Daoist Guardian truly has some skill!"

A hint of appreciation tinged the Vermilion Bird's tone, but her attacks showed no diminution.

On the battlefield, the scarlet arrows and azure-green aura intertwined into a magnificent tableau.

Each collision seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth, leaving the surrounding warriors stunned.

As time passed, Chong Heqing's forehead had already begun to bead with sweat, facing the Vermilion Bird that had just been promoted to Foundation Martial 109.

He kept advancing like a target, continually bearing the Vermilion Bird's scarlet arrows; even at his peak of 109, it would be impossible to keep bearing the arrows of an equal-ranked Archer General and advance.

Not to mention that he hasn't even reached his peak yet.
