Chapter 1107

Enemy attack!

As this voice sounded, bell and drum noises began to echo throughout the Weiyang Army's garrison.

Boom boom boom boom!

War drums are sounding!

A thunderous roar like rushing thunder rang out between heaven and earth, stirring the hearts of many Weiyang soldiers.

Soon, Commander Zhang Liao and others, fully armored and holding Spiritual Weapons, briskly walked out from their closed-door cultivation.

Zhang Liao's face bore a solemn expression: "It's only been a month since Luo Jin Laozi was slain, yet I didn't expect the Gui Dian to come again! Could it be they've figured out how to counter the Human Sword?"

Human Sword!

Following that battle in which Luo Jin Laozi was slain, the Spirit Sword Wine Wanderer has already become renowned throughout the upper realms, and the title "Human Sword" has been acknowledged by all.

But in fact they know that although General Qi Chunjiang's slaying of Luo Jin Laozi seemed simple, it actually took advantage of Luo Jin's carelessness, and only under favorable timing and terrain did they achieve such a victory.

At that time, Luo Jin Laozi had no idea of the power of the Human Sword, so he proactively set up a barrier, intending to trap General Qi Chunjiang within, hoping to let his subordinates inflict heavy damage on the Weiyang Army, thereby giving General Qi Chunjiang an excellent opportunity.

But now the Gui Dian will definitely be on guard against the Human Sword!

Such an opportunity will not appear again!

Another commander's face showed a hint of resentment: "I thought that after General Qi slew Luo Jin Laozi, the Gui Dian would be wary. I didn't expect them to come back so quickly!"

Zhang Liao frowned and said, "This shows that the pressure exerted on the Gui Dian by His Majesty the Emperor in Azure Abyss Heaven is too great, forcing them to take desperate measures!"

Many commanders fell into thought.

Spirit Martial Emperor has been in Azure Abyss Heaven for several years, having refined a great amount of World Tree Dao Patterns, yet Azure Abyss Emperor still cannot locate the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor, causing the Gui Dian to be driven to desperation!

Zhang Liao felt some worry: "This time, the Gui Dian will surely come prepared, having found a method to counter the Human Sword. Do we have to activate the Starry Grand Formation again?"

The Starry Grand Formation blankets the entire Weiyang Heaven, consuming a tremendous amount of World Tree power each day!

So great that Weiyang Heaven can hardly bear it!

This will accelerate the weakening of the World Tree!

Recently, the Starry Grand Formation has remained active, causing the Dao power of Weiyang Heaven to be greatly weakened.

General Qi has inspected the World Tree's main body; if this consumption continues, Weiyang Heaven will surely not be able to hold out!

Another commander said, "Actually, if the Gui Dian dispatches two or more supreme ancestors, we will be overwhelmed trying to cope."

Zhang Liao nodded, "Indeed. The last time we could slay Luo Jin Laozi was precisely because there was only one supreme ancestor."

Soon.

Qi Chunjiang donned heavy armor and slowly emerged from his closed-door cultivation; his steps resonated, each footfall condensing blade energy, his whole person like a long sword walking between heaven and earth.

He also hadn't expected the Gui Dian to regroup so quickly and march against Weiyang Heaven!

Originally, he thought that slaying Luo Jin Laozi would deter them for a much longer time!

But since the Gui Dian has come, we must respond.

Having learned from Luo Jin Laozi's precedent, the Gui Dian will inevitably have some misgivings about them!

"Form up the entire army!"

Qi Chunjiang immediately issued orders.

Soon, Commander Zhang Liao and others began to command their subordinates, and many of Weiyang Heaven started to gather quickly.

"Screech screech screech screech screech!"

One after another, divine rainbows shot up into the sky, transforming into a towering river of divine radiance that illuminated the starry sky with brilliant gleam, momentum towering.

These Weiyang soldiers faintly felt somewhat excited!

Just a month ago, they had just won an unprecedented victory; how could they not be excited?

They believed General Qi Chunjiang could still create another miracle!

On each person surged a terrifying fighting spirit, almost converging into a torrent.

Mo Diaomao and Xiaoyaozi, among others, also shot up into the sky, stepping into the airspace above Commander Zhang Liao's garrison.

Xiao Liang opened his eyes; beneath his feet lay a river of sword qi, which transformed into a divine rainbow; he took a sip of spirit wine in his hand and rushed straight over.

We're going to fight!

He was very excited!

After returning last time, he heard Mo Diaomao boast about his own feat of taking on dozens with glorious battle achievements, making him itch.

He, Xiao Liang, was born for battle!

However, now the Spirit Sword Wine Wanderer ought to be temporarily conscripted by General Qi Chunjiang, so he can only use other spirit swords.

He hasn't yet tested the true power of the Wine Wanderer!

Mo Diaomao gave a heh heh laugh: "Xiao Liang, why have you come too? Continue to comprehend the sword path of all dying!"

Xiao Liang gulped a mouthful of spirit wine: "My sword now overturns the heavens, becoming my 'Little Master,' forcing me to train day and night without rest; first let me catch my breath."

Li Liang sized Xiao Liang up and down, then nodded thoughtfully: "Hmm... you've gotten a bit thinner."

Xiao Liang: "......"

Mo Diaomao said, "Xiao Liang, when the fight starts, let me see how I can take on ten by myself!"

Li Liang looked at Mo Diaomao with a look of contempt: "Mo Diaomao last time almost got me into trouble. He deliberately provoked those of the Asking Dao realm, having them call for help, and ended up being chased and hacked by over a dozen people, forcing me to go rescue him..."

Mo Diaomao's face twitched: "Isn't this just adding difficulty? Among peers, I'm already unbeatable in one-on-one!"

Li Liang lightly shook his head: "Eh..."

Xiao Liang laughed and cried at once.

This indeed is Mo Diaomao's style.

Highlighting two words: begging for a beating!

Soon.

All the commanders of the Endless Army mustered with their troops; each had summoned a Spiritual Weapon, terrifying pressure radiating outward, their faces brimming with battle intent, eyes blazing with fierce fire, gazing toward the direction of the Strange Palace's assault.

Boom!

Qi Chun Jing donned heavy armor, leapt into the air, and stood before everyone; beneath his feet, vast blade intent surged forth, his eyes as deep as a starry sea, gazing into the distance.

On the other side, Fang Yuan rose in a long gown, her stunning visage still as cold as a ten‑thousand‑year‑old snow‑capped mountain, taking a position slightly behind Commander Zhang Liao and the others.

In the previous battle, Fang Yuan fought valiantly against the Strange Clan, slaying numerous powerful foes beyond her rank, causing many in the Endless Heaven to reassess their attitude toward her.

They knew that in the Endless Heaven, Fang Yuan had long endured rumors, claiming she was a pawn of Gu Yue Laozi, an infiltrator of the Bewitching Plain Heaven, a part of Gu Yue Laozi's scheme, and that she would surely defect and attack the Endless Heaven in the future.

But she had never refuted them.

As the saying goes, "A sage judges by deeds, not intentions"; at least since Fang Yuan entered the Endless Heaven, her actions have always aligned with its interests.

Fang Yuan's eyes were icy and unfeeling; she did not know what others thought, and even if she did, she would not care.

And then.

Boom boom boom!

In the distance, the Strange Palace's army, leading countless cloud‑ships, surged forward like a black tidal wave sweeping the starry sky; wherever it passed, the heavens turned pitch‑dark, as if plunged into eternal night.

Black mist filled the air, and the rumbling of the Strange Dao, even far away, made hearts tremble.

Before the Dark Mourning Old Ancestor arrived, his voice came first: "Qi Chun Jing, the Strange Palace will repay its debts!"
