Chapter 915: Transfer

Tubu looked at him and suddenly revealed a smile.

Just from this smile, the Wise One felt a chill down his back, followed immediately by a burst of rage, and he roared: "Who are you?!"

This was not Tubu's smile, nor was it the smile of a Lingjie citizen; this sinister and detestable smile could only belong to... a Earth Barbarian!

While shouting the word "who," the Wise One had already struck out in anger; filled with immense fury, he exerted his full strength, and this punch stirred up a gale, causing the surrounding space to tremble in an instant.

Boom!

This punch passed right through Tubu's figure and smashed heavily into the ground!

A large hole was smashed into the ground, yet Tubu's figure remained completely unscathed; when the Wise One turned his head in anger, he saw that Tubu had already vanished into thin air.

Teleportation!

It turned out the opponent had activated a displacement ability early on, but the speed was so fast that it left a phantom image in place; what use could a punch hitting a phantom have?

The Wise One remembered that at the moment he struck, there seemed to be a tactile sensation of impact, as if he had touched the opponent at the very last second, yet the next moment the opponent was gone.

Furthermore, even if he had hit, what would be the use? An inside spy could not possibly be a major figure; even if he were beaten to death, it would only vent a bit of anger. The problem now is...

Rumble!

The surrounding hilltops were full of ambushers!

Those Human ambushers surrounded the valley but did not charge down; instead, they threw fire bombs, thunder balls, and various other weapons downward.

In mortal cold-weapon warfare, an army occupying high ground would throw giant boulders and fire-oil bombs at those below; such crude weapons were ineffective against this Church-Protecting Army. But weapons of war are constantly upgrading, and naturally, there were war machines designed to deal with powerful individuals in this scenario. The Wise One saw with his own eyes giant cannons being set up on the hilltops, and light cannons swept down like giant waves, harvesting his troops with ease.

"Bastards, just you wait—" Ignoring that he was surrounded by lethal moves and attacks, he flew up against the current, braving the power of the light cannons; he wanted to counter-charge the opponent's main camp, even if he couldn't turn defeat into victory, he could at least open a gap and leave a path of survival for his remaining troops.

These war machines could not stop him!

Just after he flew up, he heard someone laugh loudly, and saw several streaks of golden light rushing toward his face!

That is...

That was not six streaks of golden light; those were six dragons!

He clearly saw six dragons draped in radiance like the sun crashing toward him fiercely; he had no time to dodge and met them head-on. With just one collision, the intense high temperature and powerful impact knocked him down.

"Hahaha..."

A wild laugh appeared overhead, and someone laughed: "Good, there is still a very spirited Heavenly Demon here. Let me have a go at him."

The Wise One looked up and saw a tall, sturdy man standing amidst the light of the six dragons, also draped in a layer of sunlight, his momentum imposing.

That is...

A Sword Immortal!

The one matching his strength on the Earth Barbarian side was a Sword Immortal; the opponent had been prepared long ago, letting a Sword Immortal intercept him while letting others use weapons from high ground to wantonly slaughter his troops. Truly wicked.

This guy was surrounded by dragons; according to the Earth Barbarian naming convention, it should be?

Regardless of how many dragons, he could only engage in a Death Struggle; the key lay in whether he could break through this Sword Immortal's blockade...

However...

"Understood. Otherwise, let's act together and finish this quickly; there are still many battlefields."

The Wise One's pupils constricted as he saw a woman with long, black hair like a waterfall appear beside him; although she looked quite beautiful, her murderous aura was fully exposed—she was also a Sword Immortal!

Two Sword Immortals?

No, there was another figure in the distance who hadn't rushed over but was supervising another battlefield; it was clearly also a Sword Immortal—there were actually three Sword Immortals in total!

For a moment, the Wise One even thought he was some amazing figure like a High Priest or a Grand Marshal; otherwise, how could he enjoy the treatment of being surrounded by three Sword Immortals and encircled by a large army?

However, wasn't he just a general of a detached force of the Church-Protecting Army under the Holy God? There were two digits worth of generals like him; could they all have such a formation?

How is that possible? Let alone now, even when Haotian was in charge of Wanshendian, they might not have been this wealthy, right?

Wasn't it said that Haotian only requested a force of Earth Barbarian reinforcements? Why does it look like the entire opposing world has poured out?

On what basis did Haotian do this? What price did he pay? What did he sell?

Damn it, damn it all; did he forget that he was a Lingjie citizen?

Although he was both confused and desperate, the Wise One felt no particular fear; it seemed that in an extreme situation, his mind had already blocked out fear, leaving only endless rage. He raised his weapon, a spear, and roared loudly:

"For the Holy God!"

He charged toward the six dragons opposite him.

"Pfft—cough, cough." Tubu appeared from dozens of miles away; the moment he appeared, he coughed up a mouthful of blood before laboriously removing the "casing" from his body. His stature immediately shrank by more than half, returning to a normal human height and revealing the face of Weise.

"How is it?"

This was a makeshift camp, and someone had long been waiting to receive him; it was the Sun Domain's direct-line Sword Hero, Han Shengyuan. He was in charge of this small camp, specifically for receiving and transporting scouts who were carrying out the "Great Living Person Transformation" plan.

Weise was a very important backbone in this plan, almost serving as the commander pushing the plan forward. At this moment, having just returned from a mission, he looked very disheveled, his body stained with a layer of blood.

"I'm fine," Weise said calmly. "There was a slight miscalculation, and I was just touched by him at the very end. But I am not seriously injured. The Shengyagu plan was a success."

Hearing that the plan was a success, Han Shengyuan felt a surge of joy and said: "Good, as expected of you; you succeeded the moment you set out. Now hurry to the back to get treated and have a rest."

Weise shook his head and said: "I'm fine, no need to rest; I'm in a hurry to get to the next location."

Han Shengyuan shook his head and said: "Forget it, are you still acting tough? You are only a Sword Guest, yet you went to lurk beside a powerful Sword Immortal; being grazed even a little is enough to suffer. If you act tough now and damage your foundation, you will regret it later. Do you still want to be a Sword Hero?"

Weise said: "I know my own body; it's fine. Becoming a Sword Hero will be in these next few days. The battlefield needs me."

Han Shengyuan laughed: "I naturally don't know your body, but regarding the battlefield, you don't know as much as I do. Six battlefields were arranged today, and naturally, six elite scouts are responsible for them, each with two backups. Everyone else is advancing steadily. Although you are the first to return, everyone has reported that everything is going smoothly. Although you are capable, don't look down on others, okay? As long as the plan is well-thought-out, everyone can successfully complete their tasks."

Weise relaxed slightly, his originally straight body slacking a bit, and he even swayed, saying: "Really?"

Han Shengyuan said: "Naturally, would I lie to you? Although I heard the plan was proposed by you, the moment you proposed it, it became everyone's. People had long since added bricks and tiles to your plan, arranging it thoroughly; the plan has long since reached a point where even you wouldn't recognize it. You are just like me now, an executor, not some mastermind; what is so indispensable? After all, we are not those top-tier powerhouses; even if one or two are missing, the plan will still proceed. Just rest assured."

Only then did Weise relax further and enter the inner tent. There were already physicians in the inner tent providing treatment. These physicians were also Sword Guests and Sword Heroes, only their Sword Intent was inclined toward recovery. In fact, every Sword Guest would realize one or two healing or recovery Sword Arts to sustain themselves, but there is definitely a specialization in every trade. Some specialized medical Sword Guests could almost be described as "bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bones."

The Sword Guest responsible for Weise was actually not a stranger; she was Dong Xingyu. She had once served as an Instructor at the Jiandisi Xunying, and at that time, Weise was working as a Teaching Assistant in the Training Camp under Tang Zhao, so the two of them could be considered to have an acquaintance.

Not having seen her for several years, Dong Xingyu had grown even more beautiful, and her strength had gradually risen to the peak of a Sword Guest, similar to Weise. She examined Weise, then performed two light Sword Arts, and Weise immediately felt light as a swallow, with all his ailments gone.

"Thank you, Sister Dong. Does this mean I'm fully recovered? There will be no obstacles in battle..."

Dong Xingyu said crossly: "You stay put and behave yourself. Don't think I don't know; only one mission was arranged for you today, and you're done once you return. If you move again, it's insubordination. You lie here; if there's a mission tomorrow, then tomorrow. In any case, don't think about moving around today."

Wei Se smiled and said, "I'm not saying I'll go out and risk my life immediately, isn't it just about being prepared at all times? In case that plan has a slip-up, I can rush over to fill the gap. Of course, if everything goes smoothly, that would naturally be for the best. I hope for that too."

Dong Xingyu disagreed, saying, "Do you think the plan is a game? Every accident already has a contingency plan; if the first plan goes wrong, there is immediately a second plan to fill in, and if the second plan doesn't work, there is still a third plan to follow. One plan after another, every aspect is considered thoroughly. If all the plans really don't work, then it's not something a small Sword Guest like you can save. You must understand, this is a national war, a world war, it is the most important war. We are all supporting roles among supporting roles, don't add scenes for yourself; adding too many might just ruin the big show."

Wei Se sighed and said with some melancholy, "Your words are the same as what Sword Hero Han just meant. It seems I thought wrong. I wonder what kind of dazzling radiance those standing in the center of the stage have? It really is to the point where even their backs cannot be seen."

Dong Xingyu said, "That is because we are young and cannot compare to those who have cultivated for a long time. Perhaps in the future, our achievements will not be inferior to theirs? If we can't catch up this time, perhaps there will be a next time. You are also a rare genius, why are you belittling yourself so much? Besides, it's not hard to just see a back. Isn't it said that the final decisive battle will break out within these two months? By then, everyone from both worlds, including the Heavenly Demons, will participate in the war. We should be able to see the experts at the peak, right? After all, the direction of his sword is the direction we advance toward."

She patted Wei Se and said, "Instead of sighing about this, it's better to think about how to try and break through to Sword Hero at the final moment. After all, a Sword Guest is truly too weak; to want to see the appearance of the strong clearly, one must at least be a Sword Hero, right?"

Wei Se smiled slightly and said, "Break through to Sword Hero, I can do that right now."
