In just a few breaths, hundreds of soldiers lost their lives, and several siege engines exploded under the terrifying force, turning into piles of ruins.

However, the opposing cultivators naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. Several cultivators immediately lined up under the blessing of the golden light to defend against the arrows, resulting in a brief stalemate.

Meanwhile, their soldiers finally reached the base of the wall, climbing the ladders and chariots one after another.

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the traitors!"

"..."

However, just like before, even if someone managed to climb the city wall, they still had to face the barrier of the second-tier formation. The Northern Liang soldiers hiding behind the barrier could then use long weapons imbued with wind-attribute profound energy to attack them, resulting in heavy losses for the imperial army.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

As more and more enemy troops, as numerous as ants, surged forward, the fluctuations of the Xuanjia Xunfeng Formation began to intensify, with ripples spreading across the surface of the barrier, as if someone were constantly throwing stones into a calm lake.

Especially after the cultivators began to continuously unleash spells to bombard the city, the fluctuations of the city's protective barrier became increasingly larger.

A second-tier grand formation is naturally difficult for a group of Qi Refining stage cultivators to break through, but that doesn't mean the formation is immune to damage. It can only continuously repair itself, and self-repair requires a large amount of spirit stones.

Chen Sanshi did not stand idly by. He was clad in black armor, and the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear appeared in his hand. He became one with the fire dragon and broke through the barrier of the Xuanjia Xunfeng Formation to fight his way out of the city.

It took four Qi Refining Perfection cultivators working together to barely withstand the attack, but they were all forced back hundreds of feet.

Just as Chen Sanshi was about to press his advantage, he felt a chilling sword aura coming from behind. He turned around as nimbly as a bird, and at the same time, he thrust out his spear, which collided with a true force as black as ink and as deep as the silt at the bottom of a thousand-year-old cold pool. Under the terrifying impact, he crashed outside the city gate like a blazing meteor, leaving a huge crater in the ground. The aftershocks alone killed more than a dozen soldiers.

He felt the chilling coldness within his body and slowly raised his spear.

A thick, black liquid, impossible to shake off, clung to the shaft of the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, constantly eroding his Fire Element True Power.

Who else could it be but Ling Kui, the patriarch of the Ling family?

In the void.

Ling Kui appeared on the battlefield aboard a flying boat piloted by a cultivator. He carried a broadsword on his shoulder, had a blade of grass in his mouth, and his slightly narrowed pupils revealed a cold killing intent.

He looked at the other cultivators of the Rising Cloud Sect and said, word by word, "All of you, focus all your efforts on attacking the city. Leave this man to me."

"Senior Ling, don't underestimate your opponent!"

The monks expressed their concerns.

"roll."

Ling Kui coldly rebuked him.

"..."

The cultivators of the Ascending Cloud Sect naturally wouldn't try to win him over again. They bypassed the white-robed man and headed straight for the city wall to attack the city's protective formation together with their fellow disciples.

Ling Kui slowly passed through the Heavenly Gate, letting the golden light envelop him, and walked step by step toward the white-robed figure. His cold and sinister true energy gradually spread out, and his broadsword sliced ​​across the ground, leaving a layer of black frost, as if someone had splashed ink on the frost.

Mid-stage True Strength!

The suppression of realm combined with the restraint of water element.

Even from ten steps away, Chen Sanshi's fire elemental power dimmed by three points.

"Hey Chen, didn't you run pretty fast last time?"

Ling Kui chewed on a blade of grass and sneered, "Why are you still standing there when you see me? Why don't you hurry up and hide in the turtle shell behind me?"

Faced with ridicule.

Chen Sanshi remained calm and composed, replying, "What's the rush? We should at least spar a bit first."

"Pooh--"

Ling Kui spat out the grass root in his mouth: "Okay."

The moment the word "good" was written.

His figure had already appeared in front of the white-robed man, the Yin Gui You Ming Sword wrapped in a viscous black liquid, and it was now only half a step away from his throat!

Fire!

"clang!"

The flashes of silver and fire mingled, the sound of metal colliding was like the tolling of a bell, and then it was continuous, like the sound of blacksmithing, and the frequency was getting faster and faster until it was completely integrated.

On one side was a black, viscous liquid slashed out by sharp sword strikes.

On one side was a fiery arc of flames unleashed by unparalleled marksmanship.

The two forces collided continuously until they swirled up a strange tornado of true energy, filled with both eerie yin energy and scorching flames.

With each strike of Ling Kui's sword...

The white-robed man would at least take a step back.

Furthermore, with each clash of weapons, more black Gui water adhered to the spear, until it almost completely enveloped the spear shaft, turning the once-silver spear into a dark and filthy mess.

From a distance, it looks as if someone has buried it deep in the mud, and it can never be washed clean again.

It's not just about weapons.

The Jing Shen Shrine within Chen Sanshi's body seemed to be suffocating under the influence of the black liquid, severely impacting his strength, from 100% to 90%, and then to 60%...

If we continue to fight head-on...

He will...

Lost your true power!

Completely seal off true power in a short time!

How bizarre is the opponent's true strength!

Not to mention him, even Master has never mentioned it!

To know.

His opponent's level was already higher than his. The fact that he could exchange blows for more than ten rounds was only due to the boost from his [Peerless] battle intent. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to last even ten rounds!

"Your marksmanship is excellent. No wonder my juniors fell to you."

Ling Kui's swordsmanship became increasingly swift, and the moves he unleashed almost formed a blooming black lotus flower in front of him: "But don't tell me you're only at the early stage of True Qi. Even if you break through to the middle stage of True Qi right now, you might still not be my match!"

Yin Gui Minghe Breathing Method!

A variation of water breathing!

Too……

The Ling family's greatest strength!

This breathing technique can continuously weaken an opponent's magical power or true energy during combat, until they are reduced to a mortal!

The white-robed figure before me possessed cultivation at the early stage of True Qi.

Theoretically speaking, he could at most fight to a draw with a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, but he was able to crush a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator.

But since Ling Kui began practicing martial arts, when has he ever encountered an opponent of equal skill level?

not to mention.

He's on a completely different level from his opponent!

Ling Kui began practicing swordsmanship at the age of twelve, and by the age of twenty-two, he had already reached the early stage of True Strength, making him a renowned genius swordsman.

If there are enough resources.

He should have reached the third level of martial arts before the age of forty-five.

how...

Creation tricks people!

At the age of twenty-six.

The previous patriarch of the Ling family was assassinated and died soon after from his serious injuries.

Enemies came to the clan one after another.

At that time, the Ling family couldn't even find a second person at the mid-stage of True Power, and they were on the verge of extinction!

crucial moment.

Ling Kui abandoned his original ordinary water breathing technique and switched to cultivating the clan's trump card, the "Yin Gui Ming He Breathing Technique." With his early stage of True Power, he bypassed his own level and killed his enemy's mid-stage True Power ancestor, turning the tide of the battle.
