Chapter 389: Chapter 273: Fighting God Soldiers
Tie Dan jumped down into the snow, thrusting the Demon Spine Sword into the snow, and first untied Tang Tong, loosening the bindings, checking his condition. Seeing his entire body was broken by the slingshot, he couldn’t even stand, his internal organs severely damaged, held alive by a single breath of True Qi. His limbs were frozen like ice chunks, so he wrapped Shen Jianjia’s beast skin around them both, using the Binding Immortal Rope to secure them to his back.
He drew the Snow Bone Sword from the snow and looked up to see the Immortal Soldiers, already dressed and equipped, shaking off their fatigue, each holding their swords and weapons. They formed a circle, advancing forward, with four pacing closer through the snow and four circling in the sky, closing in from above and below, encircling Tie Dan at the center.
The southern retreat was naturally heavily guarded, and here there was one general with eight soldiers. Though their realms varied slightly, and their cloaks might differ, their armor was clearly uniform.
Inside and out, there were three layers of Iron Armor, with chain mail underneath, linked ring to ring. The inner Fish Scale Armor and the Iron Armor covered the body. Over this, there was another layer of Bright Armor, with copper armor and steel nails. The helmet, face shield, shoulder cover, and arm guards were all forged from fine iron, adorned with the devouring fierce beasts.
If there was any distinction between the soldiers, it may lie in those Nascent Soul Immortal Soldiers, whose armor bore the marks of long battles. However, the Divine General wore no face shield; his white face like jade, and with a slight mustache without a beard. His armor was spotless, unblemished, further engraved with inscriptions and talismanic spells, the secret seals of the Immortal Palace, gleaming with a faint golden light. His demeanor was frivolous, resembling a pampered aristocrat, as if a title granted by ancestral favor.
Perhaps thinking little of Tie Dan, merely a Nascent Soul, the Immortal Palace God General did not deign himself to lead the charge, but instead flew directly to stand atop the stone tablet gate, hanging the slingshot on his shoulder, sword brows lowered and sweeping, wearing a half-smiling, careless expression.
Then he just lifted his arm, a finger flicked, and a great white flag rose from the Divine Court, rising steadily, at once erupting in divine light, shrouding the sky and land.
"Guardian of the Hall and the Pillar of the Court, slay the rebellious in battle with the Fighting God Soldiers, seal the heavens, close the earth, and the Immortal Palace is shut, evil spirits reveal their demon forms."
At this moment, the flow of Daoist energy in the world stopped.
Like a pond of dead water, frozen into bone-chilling ice.
All Escape Techniques, Daoist Skills, and Magic Skills, every Left Dao was sealed. All illusions found no foothold to take effect.
No need for questions, no need for words, those standing on the battlefield now, were neither person nor beast, but calamity transformed into human form.
No compassion, no mercy, no need to beg or spare even a sliver of mercy.
Slaughter all enemies within the calamity, and then those you wish to protect can survive.
This is,
the endless battle-killing calamity.
"Whoosh——!"
The wind rose behind him, and a copper hammer came smashing from behind, a strike aimed straight at Tang Tong’s head!
"Ping!"
Tie Dan parried with the Bone Sword, meeting the blow head-on! His arms shook violently, blood bursting from his nose and mouth! His hands split open, blood gushing! Instantly his hands were severed by the Demon Bone!
Indeed, they were the Immortal Soldiers of the Demon Palace! Silent, their force exploded powerfully! Without needing to gather or store energy, each move launched instantly! In a breath, they unleashed the power of Thirty Layers of Gang Fist!
With just the first strike of collision, Tie Dan trembled all over! His Taoist Body shook! Nearly unable to withstand!
It could be avoided, yet it couldn’t be avoided.
Because not only was there a hammer strike from behind, but also a spear thrust from the front, a saber split from the left, and a sword stab from the right.
Because above him were four soldiers and a general, ready and waiting, seeking his weakness.
Because Tie Dan knew, he faced not only this single person and strike, but combined attacks of eight.
Yes, these eight Immortal Soldiers, arranged in a battle formation, with elite soldiers and sturdy armor, lined up ahead.
The four on the ground said nothing, launching fierce and rapid assaults, forcing Tie Dan to shift and maneuver, like a wild tiger in the wind, charging and killing head-on, attacking from all directions, catching him off guard.
The four above said not a word, storing Gang Fist’s power, layers of Fighting Spirit protecting them, like Evil Dragons lurking in the clouds, ready to unleash when his faults were fully exposed.
And the Divine General, hiding behind the gate, concealed under the flag, drawing and aiming an arrow, wounding in secrecy.
Any retreat of just a foot under the combined attacks of four, then the second wave and third wave! Endless assaults! Would follow suit!
Misstep, and you fall into the enemy’s trap, to die without a burial place!
Gang Fist Fighting Qi! Bound to break in and blow him to bits!
So you cannot evade! Can’t dodge! Can’t hide!
With death lurking from all sides, there’s no retreat, only to face the threat head-on, overcoming the disaster!
Find a way out through slaughter!
"Turbo Blood Poppy!!"
In this instant! Blood Wind bloomed! Inch Force erupted!
Tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold! Greater, stronger, more dominating Gang Power!
Far surpassing the ferocity of Thirty Layers of Gang Fist!
Channeled into the blade! Retaliated against the hammer!
"Boom!"
The Heavy Armor Hammer Soldiers! Shockingly thrown away by a single slash!
"Wave Return!"
"Ding!" "Clang!" "Ping!"
Leveraging power against power! Slashing smoothly! Blood Soldier’s whirling dance! The Red Blade revolving!
Blood Blade Gang Wind swirling around! Deflecting sword stabs! Sweeping spear thrusts aside! Meeting the blade head-on!
Yes! Precisely what Lanling saw once! Guarding and protecting! Penglai Blade Technique!
How could killing be inconvenient! Blade Technique and Swordsmanship! Masterfully combined! Use whatever is on hand!
However, the Combat Immortal Soldiers, are not so easily overcome! Each possesses the qualification of a Martial God! Gods of killing among men!
Apart from the Hammer Soldier disrupted by monster power, unbalanced, unable to hold form temporarily!
The others’ assaults remained unchanged! Briefly halted, yet they resumed their assault instantly!
"Ha!"
The Sword Soldier coldly urged, tip rotating! Directly stabbing towards the abdomen and ribs!
"Ha!"
The Spear Soldier roared, shaking the spear-tip flourish! Direct thrust towards the forehead!
"Roar!"
The Saber Soldier howled wildly, the blade light shaking intensely! Blade and Sword crossing!
