Chapter 997: Smashing the Nine-fold Gate, Falling Stars into the Clouds

Zhenhai City!

Ten miles away from the City Lord's Mansion, there is a quiet palace complex.

A black high tower stands in it. Once, this place was heavily guarded, mosquitoes and flies could not fly in, water could not splash in, and it was the second most important place in Zhenhai City besides the City Lord's Mansion.

But today, most of the elite soldiers responsible for guarding this place have been transferred away.

From time to time, there were escape lights flying toward the city gate above the high tower.

A line of sight was withdrawn from the top of the head, sighing: "I don't know if we can block those beasts this time?"

The companion beside him snorted coldly: "With True Person Wen here, and the Zhenhai Nine-fold Gate here, who dares to break in directly?"

Although he said so, the expressions of several Core Formation cultivators nearby were not very good.

Clearly, the intensity of this sea demon attack far exceeded everything they imagined.

The Tianyuan Dao Sect has been peaceful for a long time, and has not encountered large-scale demon beast attacks for three thousand years. Even if there was the Central Plains catastrophe decades ago, that level of battle was not something these Core Formation cultivators could face directly.

Therefore, facing the reckless impact of sea demons on Zhenhai City, many low-level Dao Sect cultivators were thrown into chaos.

And as time passed, the battle reports from the front also made every cultivator in Zhenhai City tighten their hearts.

"Since the Black King has appeared, he must also be nearby!"

The Mount Liubo defense line was lost, and a large number of sea demons rushed to the estuary.

Even Shuzhou Island, which had deployed the most power, was in a bitter battle, and the distance to be declared broken was probably just a matter of time!

Under these severe messages, the mood of the several Core Formation cultivators guarding the black high tower became more and more heavy.

"What if we can't guard it?"

"If you can't guard it, you have to guard it. Do you dare to disobey the Dao Sect's order and abandon this teleportation array?"

Everyone looked back at the black high tower and couldn't help but be silent.

After the Central Plains catastrophe, the earth veins of the several pieces of the continent that were torn apart were severely damaged. The teleportation array framework that originally spread across the Central Plains was almost destroyed.

The teleportation arrays to overseas were all invalid!

The teleportation arrays to the interior also lost most of their functions.

The teleportation array in Zhenhai City is considered to be relatively well-preserved, not only directly connected to the Tiannan Dao Palace but also having a weak connection with the East Yuan continent on the other side of the sea.

Over the years, Dao Sect powerhouses on the East Yuan continent have been trying to completely restore the Zhenhai City teleportation array, and hope to use this as a foundation to radiate the Tiannan continent and reproduce the huge framework of the Central Plains teleportation array in the past.

Such an important place, how could it be abandoned just by saying so?

In case the Tianyuan Dao Sect pursues responsibility afterward, they, a few Core Formation cultivators, cannot bear half of the anger.

"Abandoning

is impossible. Only by coexisting and dying, otherwise, the ones who will be punished afterward are not just us, but also the families behind each other." The red-faced cultivator who was the leader said so, his words were extremely firm.

Just at this time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the vast Zhenhai City, three deafening sounds echoed, as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.

The tower-guarding cultivators looked at each other, and an unimaginable guess emerged in their hearts.

"No way?"

The next moment, a shrill scream came from the front.

"The Zhenhai Gate is broken!"

The tower-guarding cultivators swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly sent low-level cultivators to inquire about the news.

Soon, they got the general situation.

A dragon-shaped desolate beast, leading millions of sea demons, broke through the triple Zhenhai Gate in one breath!

That is the Zhenhai Gate!

It was forged by the Dao Sect's weapon refining grandmaster with deep-sea divine iron, tempered by heavenly thunder and earthly fire, forming an absolute defense true weapon. Especially connected with the entire city, and relying on the city-protecting formation, how could it be broken?

Moreover, it was broken through the triple gate in one breath!

No one dared to believe it, but the facts were just like this, and bad news kept coming, the fourth Zhenhai Gate was also crumbling and about to break.

This time, all the tower-guarding cultivators looked horrified.

Once the nine-fold Zhenhai Gate is broken, Zhenhai City, which was originally deployed at the estuary and had no danger to defend, would be completely exposed to countless sea demons.

"Should we..."

"Don't even think about it, even if you die here, you can't retreat." The red-faced cultivator who was the leader scolded, dispelling those inappropriate thoughts, and then said as if comforting: "True Person Wen hasn't taken action yet, don't panic!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted. That's right, True Person Wen, the City Lord of Zhenhai City, is a Nascent Soul True Person who has accumulated years, and he once practiced in the ancestral court of the Dao Sect, and his strength is unfathomable.

Even compared with those famous Dao Sect direct disciples, he is not inferior.

As long as he takes action, he will definitely be able to stop that dragon-shaped desolate beast!

As if echoing their thoughts, a figure flew out from the City Lord's Mansion ten miles away.

It's True Person Wen!

As soon as he appeared, the Nascent Soul domain unfolded and spread toward the Zhenhai Gate.

However, before he could get close, the wind and clouds changed, and demon qi filled the sky above Zhenhai City.

Three figures, hanging high in the nine heavens, took action together and hit True Person Wen.

"Came so fast!"

True Person Wen's expression changed drastically, and he deployed defensive means.

However, caught off guard, how could he resist the joint attack of the three Demon Emperors.

Boom!

With just one blow, True Person Wen was smashed

back into the City Lord's Mansion.

The vast City Lord's Mansion was instantly turned into powder.

Every cultivator in the city who saw this scene was dumbfounded.

And in the void, the three figures gradually revealed their true faces at this moment.

One holding a trident, with the demeanor of a king. One wrapped in water grass ribbons, graceful and charming. The last one, with an extremely ugly appearance, a blood basin mouth slightly open, making people dare not face it directly.

Three Demon Emperors!

This lineup is desperate.

But the reason why Zhenhai City can become the first majestic city to defend against sea demons has its own foundation!

After only two breaths, a roar came from the city.

"Beasts, how dare you invade the territory of our Dao Sect!"

The next moment, I saw the surroundings of Zhenhai City shine brightly, and streams of light surged toward the ruined City Lord's Mansion.

A blue giant rose from the ground, holding a long sword, majestic and domineering.

Facing this giant formed by spiritual energy, the three Demon Emperors put away their contempt.

"Being able to withstand a blow from the three of us without dying, worthy of being a Dao Sect True Person!"

"This giant is composed of spiritual energy, gathering without dispersing, and its power is vast, I'm afraid it already has the power of a Great Cultivator, a bit tricky!"

"No matter, True Person Wen has drawn the power of the formation, the Zhenhai Gate side will naturally be weakened. As long as the Zhenhai Nine-fold Gate is broken, this city will be destroyed in a snap!"

The last one to speak was the man holding the trident.

The beautiful woman beside him doubted: "Sebo, can that guy who can't even transform really break the Zhenhai Nine-fold Gate?"

Sai Bo sneered: "Ignorant, what do you mean by 'cannot transform'? He is simply following the path of a desolate beast, and his intelligence far exceeds that of an ordinary Fourth-Tier desolate beast. Most importantly, he was sent by that lord in the North Sea to assist us. If you don't believe him, you should at least believe that lord!"

The other two expressions tightened, clearly knowing what kind of existence the adult Sebo spoke of was.

"Alright, prepare to deal with True Person Wen! As long as Zhenhai City is still there, this giant will be immortal, we will drag him, just wait for the Black Dragon to break the Nine-fold Gate!"

Sebo gave an order, and the two stopped hesitating.

The three took action together and began to attack the giant.

And their attention was on the Zhenhai Nine-fold Gate in the distance.

The sound of rumbling kept ringing, and after the Black Dragon broke the triple Zhenhai Gate, after only a moment, the fourth and fifth also declared broken.

As long as the sixth is broken, the millions of sea demons nearby can take this opportunity to enter the outer city.

As for the remaining three, they don't have much resistance.

In the rolling blood water, the Black Dragon went against the current, completely disdainful of the attacks from low-level cultivators around it, just gathered enough

strength to impact the sixth.

I saw it open its blood basin mouth, in the roar, a huge ball of light began to condense.

Opened its mouth and spat!

"Break!"

The ball of light containing surging power whistled forward, and in flight, it constantly expanded, constantly grew, and the power became more terrifying.

This kind of means made many people feel puzzled.

Even the Black Dragon itself didn't know how it mastered this kind of demon art. In its blurred memory, it only remembered that someone had used a similar spell to teach it a lesson, once beating it to the point of skin and flesh.

Later, it gradually explored it itself, and mastered this killing move with great destructive power.

And the effect did not disappoint people at all.

Boom!

Only heard another loud noise, the sixth Zhenhai Gate was forcibly blasted out of a big hole.

The Black Dragon's eyes lit up, and while shaking its head and tail, it directly smashed open the big hole.

Thus, the smooth road is ahead!

"Children, charge!"

It cheered, and the countless sea demons behind it rushed into the outer city area of Zhenhai City along the estuary.

"Then next, it's the last three Zhenhai Gates!"

The Black Dragon gasped, its eyes glowing with cruel and excited light.

At the same time.

Where the black high tower of Zhenhai City was, it suddenly trembled for a moment.

The tower-guarding cultivators were stunned and entered it one after another.

Then they saw a graceful figure shrouded in gentle green light floating in the teleportation array.

Such a scene was surprising.

You know, the teleportation arrays on the Tiannan continent are not very stable now, and those who dare to use the formation to teleport forcibly are all existences with absolute confidence in their strength.

Who is this one?

The green light dissipated, revealing the graceful figure's beautiful face and aloof temperament.

She glanced at the few people around, and then stepped out of the high tower.

Looking up, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

With a sweep of her spiritual sense, the situation of all battles nearby was clear.

The three Demon Emperors dragged True Person Wen and involved the city-protecting formation.

Countless low-level demon beasts rushed into the outer city area and were fighting with local cultivators.

And the focus of the city's safety was where the Zhenhai Nine-fold Gate was.

"A dragon?"

The green-clothed woman snorted lightly, soared into the sky, turned into a streamer, and went straight to the Nine-fold Gate.

Her appearance was abrupt, but without any concealment.

The three Demon Emperors who were entangled with the giant naturally discovered her, and seeing her forward direction, they also understood her intention.

"Stop her!"

However, the blue giant roared and laughed, "You think you are containing me, but in fact, I am containing you!"

Blue light flickered on the giant, turning into evil dragons, surrounding this battlefield from all directions. The giant sword in his hand evolved thousands of sword shadows, killing the three Demon Emperors.

"Fairy Qinglan, please resolve the siege of the Nine-fold Gate. Wait a moment, other fellow Daoists nearby will arrive and join us to kill these three Demon Emperors."

The green-clothed woman nodded and continued forward.

Soon, the Black Dragon that was accumulating strength to impact the seventh Zhenhai Gate came into view.

Without thinking, she opened her mouth and spat.

A green leaf floated out, covering the sky and the sun in an instant.

The green leaf fell lightly, protecting the Zhenhai Gate behind it.

The Black Dragon charged ferociously, but after one impact, it was bounced back by the tough green light.

It was stunned for a moment and looked at the visitor.

Why is there a familiar feeling?

Fairy Qinglan frowned, she also felt that this Black Dragon was a bit familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, heard it somewhere?

But the current situation in Zhenhai City did not allow her to think too much.

One hand pinched the formula, one hand silently recited, the two hands overlapped and pushed out slowly.

A huge palm print formed instantly.

Her wrist turned, and she pressed down suddenly!

Great Creation Palm!

The palm print pressed down with a rumble, and the world changed color.

Others didn't feel deeply, but the Black Dragon, who bore the brunt, widened its eyes.

It had an instinctive talent that could perceive the existence of heaven and earth vitality.

At this moment, in its eyes, this palm clearly connected the general trend of heaven and earth, gathering a large amount of heaven and earth vitality.

What it had to confront was not a spell, but a piece of heaven and earth.

"Supernatural power!"

The Black Dragon roared, spitting a huge ball of light.

Not only that, but dense earth-yellow scales appeared on its body at an incomparably crazy speed.

Boom!

With just one palm, the big palm annihilated the ball of light, the remaining power did not decline, and it pushed forward horizontally.

Crushing countless scales, it directly blasted the Black Dragon out for a hundred miles, skin and flesh blurred.

Following closely, a seven-colored flower ring flew over, scattered in the air, and surrounded the Black Dragon's huge body.

However, the Black Dragon's huge body suddenly disappeared, turning into a small dragon only a foot long, avoiding the seven-colored flower ring.

"If it wasn't for the fact that I consumed a lot of strength to break the six-fold Zhenhai Gate, how could I be so unbearable!"

The Black Dragon cursed fiercely, and then regardless of the three Demon Emperors, it slipped into the sea.

It ran!

In the distance,

Fairy Qinglan saw this scene and did not pursue the victory.

Instead, she turned around to help True Person Wen.

Not only that, in the left and right directions of Zhenhai City, there were several escape lights rushing here at lightning speed.

Those were also Nascent Soul True Persons!

Seeing that the general situation was gone, the three Demon Emperors could only give up the plan to raid Zhenhai City and flee forcibly.

This battle did not last long.

After Fairy Qinglan joined, cooperating with True Person Wen, in a short time, they blasted the body of the ugly-looking Demon Emperor, and even its Nascent Soul was crushed by the Zhenhai City formation.

That beautiful female demon was not much better, took a blow hard, and borrowed strength to escape.

And Sebo was the fastest to escape. At the same time the Black Dragon fled, he realized that things could not be done. With the death and injury of two companions, he escaped from Zhenhai City unscathed.

The general situation is set!

Although there are countless low-level demon beasts remaining in the outer city area, as long as the formation power returns and the Zhenhai Gate is restarted, these low-level demon beasts will be turtles in a jar.

Fairy Qinglan looked at True Person Wen, who was pale and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, "Senior Brother Wen, are you okay?"

True Person Wen smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, I drew the power of the formation in advance, but I didn't expect that three Demon Emperors would take action together. How about you?"

Fairy Qinglan smoothed her hair, "That Black Dragon should be transformed by a desolate beast, its physical strength is extremely strong, and that palm of mine couldn't kill it. Moreover, it is very slippery, mastered the means of size as one wishes, and even my seven-colored ring didn't keep it..."

As she spoke, Fairy Qinglan's eyebrows gradually frowned.

Black Dragon, desolate beast, size as one wishes, and quite cunning.

How is this description so similar to a guy who once stayed in the Fu family for a year?

And that guy was someone else's slave beast.

Thinking of this, Fairy Qinglan's expression changed slightly.

"Senior Brother Wen, I'll leave this place to you!"

True Person Wen was stunned, "Other fellow Daoists are also here, don't you want to meet them?"

Fairy Qinglan waved her hand, "No, I still have a few disciples outside, I have to go and see their situation."

After speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared in place, appearing again several miles away.

Only green light flickered in the air, and after only a dozen breaths, Fairy Qinglan's figure could no longer be seen.

True Person Wen opened his mouth and could only sigh: "This Junior Sister really values her own disciples, even using the wood escape technique that consumes quite a bit of magic power to rush over."

Mount Liubo.

After a great battle, it was extremely messy.

Originally there were ten thousand stationed cultivators, but now only a thousand remain.

One in ten!

A figure walked out of the sea water, his aura extremely withered.

Lin Qingtong was looking for him nearby, and after seeing the figure, she was extremely happy.

"Cousin, you are really still alive!"

"Cough cough."

Luo Chen coughed twice, only feeling a splitting headache, and the meridians in his body seemed to be torn apart.

Even though there was still a lot of magic power left, his state at this moment was the worst in history.

"Where are the others?" he asked.

The smile on Lin Qingtong's face disappeared a lot, and her tone was low: "Of the twenty senior brothers and sisters who came, only eight survived. Yuhao also died, Zhou Yuqi's lower body was smashed, only I and Yuwei were lucky, and only suffered some minor injuries."

Hearing this answer, Luo Chen subconsciously opened his mouth, and finally could only sigh.

Although he didn't care about family affection and didn't value fellow disciple friendship, this squad was led by him after all.

And Zhou Yuhao called him boss one by one, but finally fell on this Mount Liubo.

No matter how indifferent Luo Chen was, his heart felt blocked at this moment.

"That Black Dragon..."

Just as Luo Chen was resenting the massacre of the Black Dragon, not understanding the Black Dragon's water release, and sighing for the death of his companions, his mood was extremely complicated, a green light struck from the sky.

He looked up and his mood lifted.

"It's Master!"

The green light stopped on Mount Liubo for a moment, and after her spiritual sense swept over Luo Chen, she left only an order to return to the city and disappeared into the distance again.

Luo Chen didn't understand, "Where is Master going?"

Fairy Qinglan didn't care about the loss of magic power and used the wood escape technique one after another.

It's a pity that this technique is relatively slow among the five elements escape techniques, especially on this boundless sea, the effect is even worse.

Chasing that Black Dragon was quite strenuous.

Especially Fairy Qinglan could feel that the wood origin aura she left on the other party was constantly dissipating.

Once it completely dissipates, she can't find the other party again.

"It must be the Black King!"

"Since the Black King has appeared, he must be nearby too!"

"Attacking the Tiannan continent like this, what exactly does he want to do?"

While muttering in her heart, Fairy Qinglan's footsteps suddenly paused.

She subconsciously looked up at the sky.

In the vast clouds, a spark suddenly fell from the sky, like a meteorite, smashing onto a small island thousands of miles away.

The woman's heart tightened instantly.
