Chapter 258 Bloodbath in Wuyou City

"You, lead ten Martial Saints to the front lines and make sure to take Wuyou City in one fell swoop!"

Elder Liu casually grabbed one of the Martial Saints beside him and pointed to the city wall of Worry-Free City.

"Rest assured, Elder, your subordinate will do his utmost!" The Martial Saint nodded, then gathered ten more Martial Saints and charged towards the city wall with a roar.

Seeing the eleven Martial Saints approaching menacingly, Sheng Xueyan raised her hand and said urgently, "Quickly, activate the city's protective formation, hold off this wave of attacks first, and then proceed slowly!"

The warriors guarding the city's protective array dared not delay and quickly activated it.

brush!

A beam of yellow light rose slowly from the city wall, enveloping it like a yellowish-brown coat draped over the city of Wuyou.

After several days of attacks, Huang Guang was exhausted and swayed precariously on the city wall. His outer garment looked rather worn.

Bang bang bang!

Eleven Martial Saints arrived at the foot of the city, their fists brimming with Yuan Power, and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the light barrier.

The light shield swayed more violently, and the yellow light emitted by the array flickered, like a candle struggling to survive in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"Give it your all, everyone!" The martial saint in charge shouted excitedly after throwing several punches in a row, "This great formation is about to break!"

"Understood!" The other ten Martial Saints agreed and swung their fists even faster.

Snapped!

Under the continuous onslaught of eleven Martial Saints, the city's protective formation finally succumbed and dissipated like a wisp of smoke.

Without the protection of the great formation, Worry-Free City was completely exposed to the enemy, like a little girl shivering in the cold wind, ready to be picked at any moment.

Seeing that the city's defensive formation had been breached, Elder Liu was overjoyed and shouted, "Whoever is the first to rush to the top of the city wall will have performed a great service and will be richly rewarded!"

"rush!"

"rush!"

"rush!"

The martial artists of the Wu Lao Hui, as if injected with chicken blood, rushed towards the city wall like a tidal wave.

Sheng Xueyan stood atop the city wall, her face as cold as frost, and shouted in a delicate voice, "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. Let's fight the thieves!"

"Give it your all! Give it your all! Give it your all!"

The warriors on the city wall responded in unison, their despair only fueling their fighting spirit.

A martial arts master from the Sheng family approached Sheng Xueyan and said resolutely in a deep voice, "Miss, you are of noble birth and do not need to suffer with us. I will charge into the enemy ranks and risk my life to clear a bloody path for you!"

"Miss, you must seize the opportunity to escape. Once you've grown stronger, you can fight these thieves to the death!"

This martial arts master was named Sheng Chunfeng, of the same generation as Sheng Chunshui, and a distant uncle of Sheng Xueyan.

He knew in his heart that he was seriously injured and that he would not be able to escape the danger today. Therefore, he was determined to die and prepared to explode his body to buy his niece a chance to live.

Excluding the dead and seriously injured Martial Saints, there are only four Martial Saints in Wuyou City who can still fight normally, including Sheng Xueyan. Moreover, the other three are outsiders who were invited. He can't expect others to be like him.

Therefore, after speaking to Sheng Xueyan, Sheng Chunfeng turned to the three martial saints from other clans and bowed deeply, saying, "Xueyan's safety is in your hands. I am not afraid of dying, I only ask that you protect her."

"Rest assured, although we cannot guarantee the success of this matter, we will do our utmost!" The three Martial Saints returned the greeting in unison, their voices filled with helplessness and sullenness.

We are all Martial Saints, and each of us has gone through countless hardships to achieve our current level of cultivation. But now that someone is willing to sacrifice their life to fight for a chance for everyone, the three Martial Saints can't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Heng Duan Yue, the martial saint of the Heng family in Tiannan, was also injured. Moved by Sheng Chunfeng's righteous act, he stepped forward and said to the three martial saints, "I will go with Brother Sheng. If you three have time, please take care of my nephew Heng Feng!"

The three martial saints nodded silently.

But at this moment, Sheng Xueyan stepped forward and objected urgently: "I won't agree!"

Xueyan appreciates your kindness, uncles, but all the warriors in the city are brothers of my clan alliance. How can I live in disgrace and abandon them? This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Uncle!" Hengfeng shouted, grabbing Hengduan Yue's hands, his eyes filled with tears.

"Is there a better way?" Sheng Chunfeng gave a bitter laugh. "My mind is made up, there's no need to stop me!"

After speaking, his eyes revealed deep affection. He glanced at Sheng Xueyan one last time, then leaped off the city wall and walked alone towards the enemy lines.

boom!

A loud bang was heard, and a dazzling burst of light erupted from the enemy ranks. More than ten Martial Saints from the Martial Elders Association were blasted into the sky, turning into a rain of blood and scattered limbs.

"Uncle Feng!"

On the city wall, Sheng Xueyan let out a mournful cry and slowly knelt down, blood spurting from the corner of her eye.

boom!

Another loud bang rang out from the enemy ranks, and Hengduan Yue also leaped into the enemy ranks.

His cultivation was far superior to Sheng Chunfeng's, so when he self-destructed, he took more than twenty martial saints from the Martial Elders Association with him and perished together.

"Ah!" Hengfeng cried out in anguish, kneeling side by side with Sheng Xueyan.

The sudden explosion caused heavy casualties on the Wu Lao Hui side, leaving many heartbroken and terrified. For a moment, the area outside the city was completely silent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, three martial saints from other families stepped forward to help Sheng and Heng, saying urgently, "Miss Sheng, nephew Hengfeng, hurry and break through with us, or it will be too late!"

"No, I want to avenge Uncle Feng!" Sheng Xueyan struggled free, her eyes flashing with raging anger.

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Let's break out first!" The three Martial Saints blocked Sheng Xueyan's way.

In the midst of this struggle, the situation outside the city had already changed.

The self-destruction of two Martial Saints caught the martial artists of the Martial Elders' Association off guard, resulting in nearly half of the Saint-level martial artists being killed or wounded, which enraged Elder Liu.

Seeing his subordinates still in a daze, Elder Liu roared repeatedly, yelling at the remaining martial artists, "All of you, charge forward! Whoever makes the greatest contribution, I will guarantee his lifelong peace. From now on, he can just focus on cultivation and never have to participate in any more battles!"

Just focus on cultivation, no need to participate in battles? Isn't that like getting a protective charm?

After a brief silence, the martial artists of the Martial Elders Association screamed in unison, their eyes bloodshot as if driven by lust, and rushed towards the city wall once more.

Their offensive was even more ferocious than the first one!

"It's over, now we can't leave even if we want to!" The three martial saints from other families on the city wall sighed in despair, their voices filled with hopelessness and a hint of resentment towards Sheng Xueyan.

"I might die today! At worst, I'll end up like my two uncles—killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Sheng Xueyan remained fearless, raised her fist and knocked down an enemy who had leaped onto the city wall, and shouted with heroic spirit.

"There's no other way!" The three martial saints from other clans sighed again, but their men did not stop at all, and together they drove the first enemy to attack off the city wall.

However, the enemy was too numerous and their attacks were too fierce; Sheng Xueyan and her companions simply could not withstand them.

"Even if it costs me my life, I will never let a thief set foot in Worry-Free City!"

Seeing more than a dozen martial saints rushing down to the city with strange cries, Sheng Xueyan made a silent decision and began to mobilize all the Yuan energy in her body, preparing to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, just like Sheng Chunfeng.

Just at this critical moment, a long howl suddenly rang out from the far distance!
