Chapter 394

"Black robe, take this strike!"

The Kun Peng's voice rang out like heavenly thunder exploding.

Waves from the four directions gathered upon the Kun Peng's body.

It caused the Kun Peng's aura to surge suddenly to the utmost limit of the Martial Emperor realm!

Sea‑roar Heaven‑howl!

This is still the Kun Peng's most adept racial ability.

This strike is just like the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens!

The surging waves poured down from the horizon, carrying terrifying force toward the black‑robed swordsman below.

"Indeed, hard to deal with!"

The black‑robed swordsman's eyes flashed, and the Crescent Moon Long Sword and Sun Short Dagger crossed sharply.

He wasn't overly shocked that the Kun Peng had appeared here.

With Teacher An Jianan present, these people needed only an instant to travel from Sword‑Edge City to Heaven‑Yu City.

But what he couldn't figure out was when Teacher Feng Yue‑shan had sent out the signal.

In his view, within such a short time, the Kun Peng and company could not possibly wear down the War God.

No one knows the limit of the War God's immortality, but it certainly isn't this short a time.

And Teacher An Jianan leading the crowd back to Heaven‑Yu City must have received news of the Black Tide attacking Heaven‑Yu City.

That is why they chose to abandon the idea of seizing the War God's fire seed and prioritize rescuing Heaven‑Yu City.

What shocked him was that they actually chose to give up so decisively.

With the Crescent Moon Long Sword and Sun Short Dagger crossed, blinding light appeared once more in the world!

In the Chong Yuan world, ever since the Black Tide descended, there has hardly been any distinction between day and night.

In the vast majority of realms, everything lies in a dull, gray haze.

Only Heaven‑Yu City, under the protection of the Negative World God, remains eternally daylight.

This also symbolizes that, under the guidance of the Negative World God's decree, the Holy City will ultimately succeed in rebirth and welcome a bright future.

Logically, the citizens of the Holy City living under eternal daylight should already have some resistance to light.

But at the instant the black‑robed swordsman slashed forth the radiant light.

Everyone still instinctively closed their eyes, fearing that blade of light!

The waves fell, the radiant light soared!

The endless waves instantly evaporated under the radiant light's irradiation.

What the two sides were clearly competing over was the speed of vapor evaporation versus the speed of the waves falling— which is faster?

After everyone grew accustomed to the blinding light, they shielded their eyes with their palms and opened them.

Because this time the black‑robed swordsman gathered all the light in one direction to block the Kun Peng's full‑power Sea‑roar Heaven‑howl.

Thus these Holy City citizens need not hastily dodge the opponent's attack, nor worry about the light's spillover.

Countless experts from both the Holy City and the Black Tide had their nerves stretched taut.

Regardless of which side wins this battle, it will practically decide the outcome of this fight!

Also, only those witless black stone men are still mindlessly attacking, wantonly destroying the Holy City.

Bai Ce and the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, though like a tiger among sheep, no Black Tide monster can block their strike!

But the number of Black Tide monsters is simply too astounding; one person with one spear cannot possibly slaughter them all.

However, Liang Jin of the Morning Light Courtyard in the rear and the other physicians were not idle.

Ordinary physicians' speed in treating the wounded is not fast.

But Liang Jin, as a Savior Heir skilled in healing,

under her diligent treatment, many Holy City Guards had unexpectedly recovered their combat ability.

And Zi Ling's injuries also eased considerably.

Given the benevolent healing habit of Liang Jin and the other medics, normally they would absolutely not let these wounded return to battle before their injuries fully healed.

But now is the most critical moment concerning the Holy City's survival.

She knows she cannot stop the Holy City Guards' urgent desire to return to the battlefield.

She can only watch helplessly as these warriors, whose wounds have just been stitched closed, step back onto the battlefield.

In the distance, Black Tide monsters surging like a tide have already approached the refuge.

Fortunately, the Holy City Guards led by Zi Ling have firmly sealed off these Black Tide creations from outside.

Zi Ling's Death Scythe swept across, and the black death toxin instantly melted and corroded dozens of Black Tide monsters!

As long as the opponent is not as unstoppable as the black‑robed swordsman.

Zi Ling's deathly aura is sufficient to face the vast majority of situations.

Likewise, almost all enemies are unwilling to face such an opponent!

"This time, I won't let anyone beside me be taken away from me again!"

Zi Ling lightly brushed her right hand, and countless gorgeous death‑butterflies flew from her sleeve.

They turned into gusts of cool breeze that brushed over the heads of the Black Tide monsters.

As the purple butterflies flew past, countless Black Tide monsters began to fall apart!

And Zi Ling's lips likewise turned pale and cracked.

But Zi Ling felt no regret, and instead continued to release the life‑taking butterflies.

In the sky, the contest between the Kun Peng and the black‑robed swordsman finally reached a decision.

The entire surge of a sea evaporated, turning into thick vapor that gathered in the air.

Boom—the thunder cracked in the sky, as if a world‑shaking rain could fall at any moment.

And at that moment, a streak of dawn, like a gentle hand, broke through the sky's dark clouds.

For a brief instant, the Black‑Robed Swordsman and Kunpeng's ultimate move fought on equal footing!

Seeing this, the Martial Emperors and Martial Kings of the Black Tide side all broke into delighted expressions.

As long as the Black‑Robed Swordsman can withstand Sheng Cheng's top combat power.

Then, relying on their numerical advantage, even a mere pile could kill these Fellows!

The Martial Emperors of the Black Tide side have already learned the lesson from the previous encounter with Zi Ling.

They let the fearless Black Tide Monsters surround Zi Ling in a circle.

Meanwhile, they themselves unleash their respective supreme arts, attacking Zi Ling from afar!

Anyway, these Black Tide Monsters are endless; no matter how many die, the Black‑Robed Swordsman won't feel any remorse.

As long as they can kill Zi Ling and the other Savior Heirs and capture Sheng Cheng.

Then everything would be worth it.

On the other side, a roar of thunder echoed in the sky.

"Xiao Hei Zi, your opponent also includes me!"

Amid the roar, a blood‑red figure turned into a streak of flowing starlight.

"Smash it for me!"

A blood‑red raging lion appeared behind Xiao Wandi.

He cannot fly, so he relies entirely on gravity to fall toward the Black‑Robed Swordsman.

Hearing that Xiao Wandi dared to call him Xiao Hei Zi.

The Black‑Robed Swordsman instantly became both angry and furious.

But his sword‑blade fusion cannot be used again in the short term.

He can only thrust the Similarly Sun Short Dagger sharply upward, cutting out a dazzling blade light.

The blade light, in the blink of an eye, expanded to dozens of zhang, as if it could cleave mountains and split earth!

Yet Xiao Wandi merely let out a light laugh.

He crossed his arms and let out a booming roar.

As Xiao Wandi launched a soaring punch.

A massive phantom wielding a golden halberd suddenly appeared behind him.

The phantom's features were vague, yet it exuded a sky‑piercing murderous intent.

The golden halberd swung down fiercely, cleaving the blade light the Black‑Robed Swordsman had cut into two halves!

Seeing this, the Black‑Robed Swordsman's eyes hidden beneath his robe narrowed slightly.

"This... how could it be?"
