Chapter 429: Nie Xi, long time no see

"What is that?"

"It's sword Qi... such strong sword Qi."

At the Dongling mountain ridge at the very front, on a half-collapsed city wall that was crumbling, more than ten cultivators responsible for guarding and warning were all squeezed into a narrow arrow tower.

The Remnant race came too suddenly, so much so that the city was broken in an instant, and the army surged in, leaving them no time to escape, so they could only hide here.

And every time a Remnant race soldier passed by the arrow tower where they were, it was undoubtedly like stepping on their hearts.

They couldn't see hope, their eyes filled only with the fear of facing death, but they still hoped that a Human great power would flow against the current and save them.

But what surprised them was that although no great power came from outside the city, behind the Remnant race army, strong sword Qi constantly whistled in the firmament.

They instantly felt hope, so they lay on the gaps of the bricks and looked out.

And just when they poked their heads out, a strong air energy rushed over as sharp as a saber.

Boom!!!!!

The next instant, a sword Qi suddenly rose, like a fierce beast that had been silent for ten thousand years suddenly waking up, roaring from the bottom of the abyss.

That sword Qi was wide, thick, and domineering, as if it were a mountain, carrying a heavy and violent feeling like the wild, slashing down from behind the Remnant race army.

Amidst the huge roar, a straight blank space was forcibly slashed open in the Remnant race army that was like a tidal wave.

Wherever the sword Qi passed, huge and deep gullies were forcibly torn open from the ground; countless Remnant race soldiers couldn't even let out a scream before exploding into a sky full of blood mist under that destructive power, and the remaining limbs were also crushed into the scorched black mud.

In the arrow tower, the cultivators hiding here looked at this terrifying scene, their faces full of astonishment.

Afterward, the heavy air currents rolled and rushed onto the city wall, blowing them so they couldn't open their eyes, only letting them vaguely see a white-clothed figure whistling over.

Wherever it passed, the strong sword Qi blew away the blood mist, clearing it all out.

With a muffled sound of bang, they held their breath instantly, feeling the sand and gravel falling from above, knowing that the visitor had already landed on the city wall above them.

At this time, someone climbed onto the city wall tremblingly, looking toward the ruined wall top.

There stood a swordsman, a very young swordsman.

He was dressed in white, holding a sword with one hand, his eyes filled with flowing gold, and his whole body was accompanied by endless mysterious light, his air energy surging to the sky, causing the surrounding wind to roar.

Just the sword Qi that hadn't faded made these city-guarding cultivators feel a strong sense of oppression, only feeling that although the other party stood before them with the appearance of a scholar, he was as tall as a mountain.

This sense of oppression was not the first time they had felt it, and the last time they felt it was from the Spirit Sword Mountain sword Dao head Qi Zhengyang, who appeared and drew his sword in the city defense battle.

"Still arrived a little late."

On the city wall, Ji You couldn't help but mutter to himself.

While breaking through the realm with difficulty in Qingzhou, he was pursued by Remnant race Generals; after a bitter battle, he almost had his mud body collapsed, and after repairing it for a long time, he rushed here immediately.

He was the first to know that the Remnant race had new Approaching Immortal experts, and he had long expected the Human race's decline, knowing they definitely couldn't withstand another attack.

But he didn't expect the Remnant race to enter the city so quickly, so he could only slash his way along the Remnant race army.

Just at this moment, Ji You turned to look at those Human cultivators who poked their heads out from the arrow tower: "What are you doing hiding here?"

The crowd looked at each other: "Uh, we couldn't escape."

"Leave quickly, go to the west."

"May I ask Young Master..."

The first cultivator to recover immediately bowed, wanting to ask the visitor's identity, but before he finished speaking, he discovered that the swordsman had already stepped on the wall stones of the crenel with one foot.

Amidst the flying gravel, that figure, wrapped in air currents that tore the long sky, whistled toward the battlefield inside the city like a falling meteor.

And as he swept through the air, in the broken city, all the long swords that had been dropped aside because their owners had died in battle emitted violent vibrations.

"Zheng——Qiang——"

In a few breaths, the thousands of long swords scattered on the ground rose in response, as if drawn by an invisible divine sense, turning into a magnificent sword Dao torrent, following that figure and rushing into the sky!

Seeing this scene, everyone opened their eyes in astonishment; there are many who use swords in the Qingyun world, but there seems to be only one who controls a sword like this.

At this moment, in the center of Taogu Juncheng.

The retreating tide of people was like a burst dam, back-flowing into every street and every square, a pitch-black expanse that couldn't be seen to the end, like a sea of despair.

However, the so-called battle line had already disintegrated the moment the Dongling Mountain Range collapsed.

Whether it was Spirit Sword Mountain disciples or Heavenly Academy disciples, as well as those aristocratic family members, none knew where to retreat, only performing their final chaotic struggles by instinct.

Of course, among them were also those who were completely disheartened and couldn't produce any heart to resist...

In the south of Taogu Juncheng, the remaining battle line was like a dam repeatedly washed by the tide, crumbling.

And in front of that battle line that was like a collision of waves, the various Central Province family heads and Immortal sect Elders who were protecting the younger generation were all covered in blood, but the spiritual essence in their bodies was still frantically inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy, unwilling to give up.

Just at this moment, above the scorching battlefield, a General whose figure was far larger than ordinary Remnant race members and who wore ancient broken armor tore through the large net woven by spells and appeared suddenly.

And while he was flying, in his palm, that thick-to-the-extreme destructive black light gathered and compressed crazily, finally turning into a black mountain seal wrapped in ominous Qi.

That mountain seal, as soon as it took form, had a heavy intent that seemed to truly be able to suppress mountains and rivers, like a roaring black giant dragon, crashing down toward the Human defense line below that was already fragile.

The family heads and Elders fighting in blood below only felt their surroundings sink, as if pressed by an invisible mountain, making even raising an arm incomparably difficult.

With a boom, the several sword Qi of Spirit Sword Mountain were directly crushed, and those clan elders and Elders at the front of the tide were all sent flying.

"Father!!"

He Lingxiu's face turned deathly pale, and she let out a shrill scream, watching with her own eyes as her father He Ye fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, falling right before her eyes.

Almost simultaneously, that mountain seal that covered the sky and sun was raised again, and the shadow of death shrouded down like a tide.

At the same time, a scream came from the battle line.

Among those following the escape, the brocade-clothed Fang Jincheng let out a terrified shout.

He had completely forgotten the bold words he said a few hours ago about wanting to go to the field and kill a few to try; seeing the shadow of death shrouded over, he subconsciously reached out a hand and slapped out a palm.

In his pupils distorted by fear, what was reflected was the astonished and desperate face of Lu Han-yan, whom he had personally pushed to the front of the battle line to block the calamity.

He didn't want to die, so someone had to carry it in front; this was a very simple principle...

"Han-yan!"

Catching a glimpse of Lu Han-yan's figure flying out of the battle line, Lu Xiong and Lu Qingqiu felt their brains buzz instantly and immediately rushed over.

And Wen Zhengxin suddenly looked back, drawing his sword toward Fang Jincheng with an expression of disbelief.

However, just at this moment, Fang family head Fang Xiang suddenly appeared, looking at Wen Zhengxin with majestic air energy, his eyes filled with threats and intent to kill.

Fang Jincheng was his grandson; naturally, he wouldn't let others hurt him, but at this time, he didn't realize that a sword Qi was slashing down from the void.

Pfft!!!!!

Fang Jincheng was still in shock, feeling a piercing pain in his heart, his peripheral vision filled with bright red, and his arm that had pushed the person had been slashed off from the shoulder, dropping to the ground with a thud.

That was an incomparably sharp sword Qi, but that sword Qi was not just to slash his arm.

With a boom, following a burst of violent Qi, that mountain seal condensed by black light was fiercely blocked by this whistling sword Qi.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so much so that the people around hadn't reacted yet.

The only thing they saw was Lu Han-yan suddenly rushing to the front of the battle line, and then they saw that wild sword Qi.

At this moment, under everyone's gaze, a man stood proudly in front of the battle line holding a sword with one hand, the soaring sword intent erupting from his whole body, forcibly holding the Remnant race General's heaven-destroying seal in mid-air.

And between the collision of this sword Qi and the Dharma seal, some ordinary Remnant race soldiers at the front of the battle line couldn't withstand the impact and directly exploded into a blood mist.

Yellowish wild sand, eerie blood mist.

Above the chaotic void, Ji You and that Remnant race General stood opposite each other, their air energy constantly colliding, like tigers roaring and dragons singing.

At this time, the astonished Lu Han-yan slowly recovered, only then discovering that the intent to kill hadn't fallen on her, and she was instead held in a man's arms.

Then she felt a slap on her buttocks, and then the hand that was holding her waist was suddenly released.

Immediately following, that person pressed forward holding the sword with one hand, and the second sword whistled up.

No one saw where that sword came from, nor did they see his sword swing; by the time they raised their eyes, they had already seen that magnificent sword Qi rushing out from the battle line like a flowing long river, straight through the firmament!

With a boom, that seal was slashed to pieces, and the Remnant race General retreated wildly.

"It's that Human who attained enlightenment in the Great Wilderness Forest!"

"It's him, it really is him."

Seeing the intent to kill blocked, the people in front of the battle line began to retreat frantically, pulling away from the Remnant race's battle line.

And in this process, Gong Buyi, who was rescued from Qingzhou, instantly recognized the man's face and let out a cry of surprise.

The cultivators around all raised their heads panting, revealing an expression of suspicion: "Is there really such a person?"

"Correct, it's him!"

"I can also prove it, it's that person."

Among the crowd, the pale-faced Qiu Hanyue opened her moist eyes, looking at that figure and speaking with incomparable longing: "In the mountain forest of Qingzhou, it was he who saved me..."

Actually, when that swordsman drew his sword, many people realized they didn't know this person; hearing Gong Buyi's cry of surprise, they suddenly realized that this was the ordinary-looking Human in the rumors.

Just at this moment, in the direction of the city, following continuous explosions, endless dust and sand danced wildly in the sky.

The crowd could look far away and see that figure holding the sword constantly traversing the firmament, the wild sword Dao like a galaxy from the nine heavens rushing down.

There is a great power in the front battlefield; the advance steps are generally for the great power to open the way, and the soldiers behind him follow the battle line he tore open to kill in.

Doing this, on one hand, can reduce casualties, and on the other hand, can speed up the advance.

But under that white-clothed figure, the Remnant race army's tide was actually forcibly held at the center position.

Just at this moment, Gong Buyi suddenly changed his expression: "No, not right..."

He Lingxiu froze her eyes upon hearing this: "What's not right?"

"We only had one month from Qingzhou to here; that person... that person should only be in the Responding to Heaven realm, how did he suddenly become so strong." ===== CHAPTER 430 =====
