Chapter 534: War Finally Starts

At the same time, ten worlds away from Cloud World, Dragon Shadow half-opened his eyes in a bored manner.

In theory, although they were separated by a distance that could not be crossed, if Dragon Shadow was willing, he could see everything that happened in these twenty parallel spaces.

At this moment, the situation above and below Mysterious Cloud Mountain filled his eyes.

However, he was bored by the two armies locked in standstill. The only interesting thing was his disciple.

“…He has four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry and still didn’t cleanly wipe out Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. However, he hid everything and waited to release the Pinnacle Space Dome Formation. Is he planning to wipe out all the people from the various sects here? My disciple is really exceptional at scheming!”

“Speaking of which, your teaching skills aren’t that bad. If you hadn’t used your spell to conceal your troops, Zong Shou’s plans would have been found out by that person from Lingyun Sect…”

A laugh echoed from behind Dragon Shadow as a person stepped out from the void. Judging by his looks, he must be Aokun.

“You really broke through to Saint Realm!”

Dragon Shadow turned and eyes shining, exclaimed, “You actually grasped destruction laws. This time you really benefited from the disaster. It seems like my disaster really gave you a lot of benefits.”

“Zong Shou is indeed a noble person in my life!”

Aokun nodded. Although his heart was filled with gratitude, he wouldn’t show it on his face.

“If not for him, even if I had found that pellet, I would only be the slave of others for the rest of my life. Now that I have reformed my dragon pellet, I don’t have to be restricted by others…”

“Pah! I’m only afraid that those of the Common People Path will interfere, right? That Wei Xu is really as crafty as a fox. How did Xi Zi find such a cunning disciple? Anyways, we owe them a great debt. Forget it. With you taking care of him, I am at ease. After all, the lifespan of your dragon race is so long!”

Dragon Shadow scoffed coldly. He wasn’t willing to talk more about the Common People Path, and he changed the topic. “Speaking of which, you came at the right time! Hide here with me and when they impatiently attack, help me kill that brat from the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect!”

Aokun’s brows rose, and then he smiled. “Why are you so furious, old man?”

“Why not?”

Dragon Shadow’s face was dark, his gaze cold as he looked into the distance.

He could sense that that person from Lingyun Sect and at least two others were on the same level as him.

“Did you know that the kid from Lingyun Sect gathered two Saint Realm experts? There are actually over ten people from the God Realm. As for the Celestial Realm and below, there are too many to count. They are certain that if Zong Shou, loses I will go save him. This time, they not only want to kill him, but me as well! Just like Xi Zi in the past. Hehe! Since they want me to die, then how can I not return the favor?”

Aokun laughed as he heard that. “Who knew that after a few thousand years, my horns would have been ground down, while your temper would remain so explosive!”

Following which, he paused, and his tone gave off a congealed killing intent. “However, I agree with your words. Since they want to ask for death, then we have no choice. I haven’t killed in a long time…”

Dragon Shadow instantly raised his head and laughed. He had been waiting for those words.

“That kid from Lingyun Sect really believes that he’s thought everything out. If he were to see you, what would his expression be? In this battle, Lingyun Sect would lose at least 70% of their strength. Who knows how his fellows will feel?”

Thinking about the battle with that person later on, that he had one more Saint Realm which grasped destructive abilities by his side, Dragon Shadow felt delighted, his eyes creasing into a mirthful line. Following which his heart moved, “Oh? They seem to have begun? What is that kid doing? He still hasn’t moved the Blood Cloud Cavalry. Only the Black Fox Cavalry and tens of thousands of basic troops. What for? How uninteresting! I really regret taking him as my disciple. So boring!”

When Aokun heard that, his gaze pierced through those layers of space into the distance, following which he smiled.

At this moment he could see those two hundred four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry members still standing motionless in the mist.

However, every ten miles, whenever an enemy died, a thread of vital energy was absorbed and gathered into the black mist.

One could see their armor becoming more eye piercing, just as though there was fresh blood flowing.

Considering the time, it was right about when this ancient iron cavalry would shock the Cloud World…

※※※※

At this moment, below Mysterious Cloud Mountain, there was a rumbling like thunder. Hundreds of thousands of well-equipped elite soldiers surrounded a small hill, endlessly killing.

Both sides had been through hundreds of battles, but now, they were all silent. One could only hear the sounds of weapon clashing against weapon, the knocking of blades against armor, as well as the shrieking of the mounts.

They did not need to roar to make themselves braver, or shout to vent their feelings. They were all stone-cold killing machines.

On one side, there was iron cavalry of Gantian Mountain, seventy thousand-strong, that split into numerous waves. They circled and charged along the mountain, smashing and crushing each formation that rushed over.

Everywhere their horse’s hooves passed, there were close to no survivors!

On the other side, the Thousand City Alliance had gathered millions of troops. Each square formation formed up like many strong and indestructible walls, that proceeded forward.

Even if they knew that they couldn’t block these cavalrymen, they still fought. Even if they were scattered, they wouldn’t retreat in panic. They retreated to the back in an orderly manner, and quickly formed back up.

Their movements were like that of a wave, endless and never stopping. Wave after wave swept against the mountain.

Every few seconds, millions of arrows rose up into the air and landed on Gantian Mountain’s troops. They charged right at the spirit masters of Kongqi Sect and Seven Spirit Sect, and the spiritual light barrier they were raising.

Each rain of arrows would cause the barrier to become slightly dimmer. However, moments later, it would return to normal.

Ontop of the hill, Zhao Yanran, who stood beside Zong Shou, looked on. “They can probably last another two hours…”

“I know!” Zong Shou nodded slightly, before he looked behind. “The other side probably couldn’t wait anymore.”

A thousand feet behind him, a strong blood grievance energy seeped into the air. The vital energy flow of thousands of people surged out of the blood mist.

Even Tianqiu was unable to suppress it.

It astonished Leidong and Jin Buhui. Did Zong Shou prepare a demon sect artifact? To absorb the vital energy of the dead was a demonic act.

Zong Shou calmly looked at the people there, and his face and posture revealed no worry. What was hiding in the mist?

The other cultivators felt uneasy. They were unwilling to let Zong Shou walk onto the evil path.

At this moment, Zong Shou was focused on the high platform. Yangfan’s expression was really solemn. He stood up from his throne, looking forward, in deep thought.

His heart became more uneasy and more nervous.

What shocked him was that everytime someone died, the black mist’s aura would grow stronger.

Before this, he hadn’t felt anything, but slowly, he became terrified.

“Can your spirit masters see exactly what is within that black mist?”

At this moment, apart from the city lords, several grade-8 elders from a few sects were around them. They were seated in a row to observe the battle.

When those words were spoken, they frowned and showed tough expressions.

“You can’t do it? Damn! All of you are useless!”

Yangfan didn’t bother wondering what the elders of the Donglin Sects were thinking. He stepped up to the railing.

Not long ago, when Seven Spirit Sect and Kongqi Sect had arrived, he had already been feeling uneasy.

Now, for some reason, that uneasiness could no longer be suppressed.

Ruminating on those feelings, Yangfan clenched his fists. “Send this message: order the Dao soldiers to reveal themselves! The other troops can back off! four hundred and seventy thousand troops will smash over them! I don’t believe we can’t crack this peach pit…”

The old man frowned slightly. “But Elder Ling Weizi ordered us to use the city troops to grind them down, and then use lighting to break them.”

“Grind? Grind what!”

Yangfan suddenly turned his head, and his eyes were red. “You didn’t see the situation within the mist? Our plan is what that Zong Shou wants! In terms of using troops, am I stronger, or is he stronger? Since you handed this battle to me, you should follow my orders. If you are unhappy, then get your Ling Weizi to speak to me!”

The expression of the old man changed, rage appearing in his eyes. A moment later, he realized that he couldn’t do anything and calmed down. “Forget it! Let’s just follow your orders!”

Just as he said those words, the dozens of square formations surrounding them retreated like a flood.

The sixty thousand elite cavalry of Gantian Mountain didn’t pursue them, and after they left, the cavalry turned back to the hill to regroup.

Moments later, groups of formations surged out from the formation on all sides.

A hundred thousand riders on horseback swarmed out. Their horse’s hooves sounded like thunder, their speed was neither fast nor slow.

The most eye catching group was the cavalry army at the front of the formation that suddenly appeared, whose members wore all sorts of armor.

Although there were only twelve hundred of them, their aura suppressed that of those hundreds of thousands of people. They first traveled slowly, and when they neared the hill, they slowly increased their speed.

Although they were only a thousand-strong, their aura was like mountains splitting and oceans parting.

In the sky a light laugh broke out. “Four hundred Cloud Dragon Iron Swordsmen! Your Lingyun Sect really is willing to spend. Two hundred Mysterious Cloud Lightning Warriors and two hundred Daoling Wind Warriors on top of that; it seems like the Monster King will definitely lose in this battle.”

The one who spoke was the one who had said that he was from the Monster Sect. At this moment, who knew how many people let out pitiful sighs.

Even Leidong and Jin Buhui’s brows furrowed. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

They could only run from this battle.

Zong Shou’s brows rose as he unbuttoned his robe. He wore a red armor, and he was holding a blood red halberd.

“Let me ask you guys, are you willing to trample over this Mysterious Cloud Mountain with me?”
