Chapter 428: The collapse of the combat power balance

Under the rolling darkness, on the cold-wind-whistling Yefeng City wall.

The cultivators responsible for guarding the city were gathered in front of the roaring bonfire, holding wine cups in their hands, using spiritual wine to ward off the cold while raising their cups to each other.

Six hours had just passed since the second great victory in defending the city; the fatigue on the faces of these people had not completely faded, and only after the wine went down did the feeling of exhaustion begin to alleviate somewhat.

"I don't know when the Remnant race will attack next; this stable life always feels like it needs to be counted on one's fingers."

"They can't cross the sacred artifact anyway; in my view, they might as well give up."

"The Remnant race's hatred for sacred artifacts has accumulated for a thousand years; how could they give up? But the second attack failed, so they should be rethinking their strategy; they shouldn't come again in a short time."

While speaking, a cultivator responsible for guarding the city put down his wine cup: "You all drink slowly, I'm going to take a leak."

The crowd sneered after hearing this: "How is your urge to urinate so frequent? Why don't you go to the city and find a doctor to take a look?"

"Go to your mother's, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

That cultivator cursed casually and then rose to prepare to go down from the city wall.

However, just as he stood up and hadn't walked a few steps, he suddenly froze on the city wall, so his gaze toward the front of the city gradually stiffened.

At this time, in the farthest place in his line of sight, a piece of red light appeared in that rolling blackness.

Almost subconsciously, this city-guarding cultivator held his breath and then ran wildly on the city wall.

Those cultivators who were drinking also stood up at this moment; the feeling of being slightly tipsy instantly dissipated from their minds, and their bodies that had just relaxed instantly began to tense up.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack approaching!"

Only six hours had passed since the second great victory in defending the city; the Humans had not yet landed from that high-spirited, floating feeling when a shout that almost tore the throat sounded suddenly on the Yefeng City wall.

Immediately following, a harsh horn sound came from the city's sentry post, resounding through the entire city like a sharp arrow.

In an instant, everyone on the streets and alleys who had smiles on their faces froze in place, and then turned their heads mechanically to look in the direction of the city wall, their smiles beginning to fade, replaced by endless confusion.

"Where did the enemy attack come from?"

"Remnant race..."

"Impossible, they just retreated; how could they suddenly come back again?"

Amidst the discussion, the crowd with wide-open eyes revealed a look of disbelief.

The Remnant race had just retreated; that was a matter of almost an instant ago in their feeling. In such a short time, they didn't even know if the Remnant race army could fully retreat to their station.

The reason they retreated was because they knew their goal couldn't be achieved, otherwise why would they retreat? But since they had already retreated, what was the meaning of suddenly attacking back again?

In this instant, almost everyone felt that this warning about an enemy attack was a false alarm, but in less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the rolling black tide coming from afar instantly tore their fantasies to pieces.

The scarlet eyes filling the sky, the rolling baleful Qi like a tide, everything confirmed that horn used for warning.

The next moment, the Chen family Immortal clan disciples in the city had already taken the lead in turning into streams of light, carrying sabers to meet them, and the Mountain Sea Pavilion disciples also followed like shadows, rushing into the sky one after another!

Endless spiritual energy, under the full-force inhalation and exhalation of the cultivators, was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, instantly converging into a surging spiritual torrent.

It used the pitch-black night sky as a river channel, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and collided fiercely with that magnificent baleful Qi filling the sky!

A huge roar resounded through the sky, causing the earth under Yefeng City to begin to tremble continuously again.

And just at this moment, directly above the Remnant race army, a figure suddenly appeared.

Remnant race Prince, Esha.

He wore a worn and ancient black robe, and between his flips, endless black light gathered in his hands.

In the blink of an eye, that black light expanded crazily, its form stretching and solidifying, finally turning into a giant black light cone that stood tall between heaven and earth, as if it could nail through the entire world, and crashed down toward the ground!

The light cone hadn't arrived, but that pure, terrifying air energy that wanted to annihilate everything had already descended.

The sky over Yongzhou instantly became windy, rolling up ten thousand zhang of dust and smoke, and the countless mountain heads in front of Yefeng City that had experienced wind and rain all shattered instantly amidst "boom" loud noises.

"Open the tablet."

Just as this black light attempted to pierce the entire city, a silent thought sounded suddenly; Chen Luo and Chen Xi's figures turned into a cyan and a white streak of light, rushing into the sky.

And behind them, the white jade stone tablet, as the core of the Chen family Immortal clan's inheritance, received the summon of the artifact holders, instantly erupting with unprecedentedly brilliant Immortal light, and collided fiercely with that black light.

"Clang——!!!!!"

A loud noise, as if the world were being opened, erupted fiercely!

Pure white Immortal light and deep black cone collided fiercely above Yefeng City!

At the center point of the collision, the earth shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, and the violent wind and waves swept through the entire void in an instant.

Countless cultivators who were closer instantly felt the suppression of Heavenly Might, unable to help but tremble all over, while those Remnant race vanguards were instantly knocked down from the void by the collision.

Just at this moment, the white jade stone tablet vibrated violently, emitting a magnificent, vast, and clear sound that cleansed the universe, and erupted with light that could compete with the sun and moon.

That was a supreme, mighty power capable of adjudicating order and reshaping laws, which fiercely surged backward, instantly crushing that black light shaped like a light cone with a boom.

But just at this moment, a cold killing light descended from the depths of the void even higher and further away, locking onto the Chen siblings, its speed reaching the extreme, carrying endless explosions as it killed over.

"Not good, there's another one?!"

"How could this be, could it be that they changed their target this time to us?!"

Chen Luo was shocked, his expression that was originally calm and composed instantly becoming filled with suspicion.

When the strange horn sound came, they had an initial judgment, feeling that the Remnant race wouldn't change their strategy so quickly after rolling back, and might still adopt the plan of dragging both sides and killing the middle.

But the facts told them that this time was different; there were two in this battlefield where they were...

Just when Chen Luo couldn't react for a time, his sister Chen Xi, who was much calmer than him, had already fiercely retracted the Dao tablet and slammed it against the void.

That killing light was instantly shattered, but the problem was that Esha, not far from them, had already waved his hand to kill over at this moment.

At such a short distance, they had no way to forcibly turn the Dao tablet to block again; even if they could, the one above their heads would inevitably make a move again.

Just as this black light exploded and filled the sky, the figure of a cyan-robed Daoist stepped through the sky and came.

In an instant, the chaotic air currents caused by the terrifying collision were instantly flattened, and those shattered mountain rocks also instantly turned into powder.

Just a line away from the great freedom of longevity and immeasurability, yet blocked by the rolling sky color, seeing that his physical body had decayed to the limit, Mountain Sea Pavilion Abbot Huo Jun finally responded to the invitation of You Yingqiu and Yan Shuyi.

With a decayed body, he fought for another Immortal opportunity for himself.

Amidst the humming, a wild wind emerged.

Huo Jun suddenly beckoned, and an ancient, thick Heavenly Bell killed down from thin air, carrying the supreme will of suppressing the heavens and shaking the universe, turning into a chaotic stream of light that crossed the long sky and killed.

Esha Prince was actually on guard all this time, but upon seeing that cyan-robed figure, he still couldn't help but shrink his scarlet eyes instantly.

"Dong——!!!"

Like a funeral bell tolling!

The Heavenly Bell smashed solidly onto the protective Qi of the Wang Chen of Esha, and that protective Qi twisted violently, flickering uncertainly, only supporting for less than a breath before it shattered with a boom.

This Remnant race Prince who attempted an assassination was smashed away, and the endless Heavenly Might released from the Heavenly Bell crushed his body crazily.

Until he suddenly made a move, grasping a corner of the night to force the Heavenly Bell back, but his mouth and nose were already bleeding profusely.

"Actually... made a move personally."

Esha Prince had a look of suspicion, his scarlet eyes vibrating instantly.

For the Remnant race, the greatest threat to the Humans is the sacred artifact, which is why they want to seize the artifacts as soon as they revive.

But for them, the greater threat is the sacred artifact mastered by the Human race's Approaching Immortal realm experts.

They originally thought that the Humans' only two remaining Approaching Immortal experts wouldn't easily take risks because their physical bodies had decayed, but they didn't expect that someone would make a move personally this time; this obviously exceeded his expectations.

And Huo Jun didn't look at him at this time, but looked at the other figure in the sky, his heart, like Esha Prince's, also having a feeling that the situation was not within his expectations.

Because he hadn't seen this Remnant race Approaching Immortal expert, nor had he heard of it from the data gathered from various battlefields.

This is a new Prince...

Boom!!!! ===== CHAPTER 429 =====
