Chapter 599: Chapter 361: Master Chen, How Many More Blows Can You Withstand from Me?_2

"You think confining the Saint Master to the Prefecture City is ’guarding’ the Saint Master, but is this direction truly correct?"

"And did the Saint Master agree?"

Lu Changsheng stood up, crossed his hands behind his back, and calmly said, "In my opinion, we still need to discuss our preparations concerning Yuan Shan City!"

Everyone listened to Lu Changsheng’s words, and all were silent.

After a moment, Lu Gong took over the conversation and slowly said, "The defense line of Taixuan Divine Mountain is being fiercely attacked day and night by the Demon Domain...It is heard that the Demon Domain has put everything into attacking Taixuan Divine Mountain!"

"The Kui Banner Master, head of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Flags, has clearly stated that Taixuan Divine Mountain is not confident about repelling the full assault of the Demon Domain."

"They are determined not to retreat, but may not hold out for many years."

"Kui Banner Master believes that after their fall, if Taixuan Divine Mountain is breached, Yuan Shan City will be the second line of defense. He asks Qifeng Prefecture to halt new constructions in the cities and focus all efforts on expanding Yuan Shan City!"

"What is everyone’s view on this matter?"

——

Yuan Shan City.

City Guard Mansion.

The Great City Guard lightly closed his eyes.

Currently, Chen Long of the Twelve Phases of Tribulation Ashes has appeared in Yuan Shan City.

This person has already cultivated to the Refining God Realm, and with the evil spirit he serves still present, he is destined to become a major threat.

After the downfall of the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader of Qifeng Prefecture, the next leader should undoubtedly be Chen Long.

If he were an extremely fierce and evil existence, merely relying on the Divine Spirit worshipped by the Mountain Temple would suffice to exterminate him!

But the God of the Mountain has signed an old covenant!

To protect the Human Clan without overly interfering in their internal affairs!

Though Chen Long is of the Tribulation Ash, he is ultimately still Human Clan!

The Temple cannot use the power of the Divine Spirit to kill him!

Relying on the city’s various high-ranking officials and elite soldiers, there is the assurance of slaying Chen Long.

However, the cost would undoubtedly be extremely heavy!

"Taixuan Divine Mountain is in imminent danger, and Yuan Shan City has already dispatched a significant number of elites for support."

"Afterward, when Taixuan Divine Mountain collapses, Yuan Shan City will bear the brunt, needing to slow the steps of the Evil creatures, buying time with lives!"

"Killing Chen Long entails a significant cost."

"If a pure Refining God Realm of Tribulation Ash arrives, under normal circumstances, since he has thrown himself into our net by coming to Yuan Shan City, it would be wise to use all powers and pay any price to eradicate him!"

"But as it stands, we are already in a hurry, lacking manpower, and short on combat power..."

"According to the night watchman’s transmitted intelligence concealed in high levels of Tribulation Ash, Chen Long will soon be unable to maintain human form and will eventually only be able to walk under the deceit night... Except for infiltrating his birthplace, High Willow City, he cannot sneak into other cities!"

"In reality, it’s just equivalent to having an extremely fierce and evil existence in the deceit night, bearing immense hostility towards the Human Clan!"

"At this critical moment, why not let him go for now?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the City Guard Mansion became extremely tense.

All gazes focused on the face of the Great City Guard.

After a moment of silence.

The Great City Guard slowly said, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, the Prefecture City has responded, saying we can avoid the brunt, need not face him head-on, but must delay Chen Long’s steps!"

He looked at everyone and slowly said, "Await the Saint Master to slay this fiend!"

"The Saint Master?"

The faces of all the high-ranking members of Yuan Shan City changed dramatically.

After a moment, an elder with cultivation only at the Refining Essence Realm, but with graying hair, shook his head and said, "How can the Saint Master risk danger? If the Prefecture City insists on exterminating Chen Long, we can pay any price, but we cannot let the Saint Master face a powerful Tribulation Ash expert!"

In his eyes, with the Saint Master breaking through at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, no matter how remarkable the new methods are, no matter how they transform, he should be just at the initial stage of the Refining God Realm.

Chen Long is also at the initial stage of the Refining God Realm!

Moreover, Chen Long harbors a powerful evil spirit!

What’s more, as the next Tribulation Burning Sect Leader, who knows if Chen Long possesses an Old God’s Magical Objects!

Even with assistance from all sectors of the city for the Saint Master, unexpected events cannot be ruled out!

"According to the latest intelligence, the Saint Master is more capable than we anticipated!"

The Great City Guard stood up and slowly said, "Moreover, having the Saint Master intervene is approved by the Prefecture City! Even the Prefecture City does not believe the Saint Master should hide in the rear; how can we interfere?"

With eyes sparkling, he said, "Besides Taixuan Divine Mountain, in today’s Three Prefectures territory, who among the Human Clan is stronger than the Saint Master? Why curtail such a sharp blade, preventing it from being unsheathed, while we needlessly diminish ourselves?"

"Including me, the Great City Guard, many of you have been eager to witness the new methods firsthand!"

"Today, there’s an opportunity to see firsthand the splendor of the Saint Master, who brings peace for thousands of generations!"

"Go now, assist the Observatory in stalling Chen Long’s steps, and wait for the Saint Master to arrive and eliminate him!"

"Remember, only delay, no desperate battle!"

——

Yuan Shan City, Outer City West Gate.

The City Defense Army, Observatory elites, Divine Temple Guards, and Martial Artists forcibly conscripted from various families are gradually gathering.

Each formed a military formation, sharing the attack from Chen Long!

"You’re dead!"

The Commander of Yuan Shan City wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled.

Facing Chen Long’s sword just now.

If it were a one-on-one duel, as the Commander, he would probably have fallen.

But with the flag waving behind, many of the Observatory’s elites dispersed the sword light with the flag.

The sword light, which could have instantly killed a peak Qi Refining figure, was dispersed among everyone.

Everyone was injured but not mortally.

Once in the Inner Strength Realm, vitality is robust; reaching the Refining Essence Realm, one can reattach severed limbs.

Such vitality can easily recover.

"..."

Chen Long casually crushed the ineffective elder beside him.

He glanced around.

In the Outer City West area, a small workshop has gathered no fewer than three thousand Human Clan soldiers in a short time!

And they are all elite able to form military formations!

This place gathered six Qi Refining Realm experts, including two at the peak, one being Yuan Shan City’s Commander!

There are also thirteen Martial Artists at the Refining Essence Realm!

With these powerful Martial Artists as leaders, they form a military formation with three thousand soldiers!

What’s more important, additional reinforcements are incoming!

If it were a frontal confrontation, he is confident of killing half the enemies, breaking the city gate, and tearing through to the outside!

But for now, Yuan Shan City does not plan to engage in a death battle with him, only to entangle him!

Not even intending to wound this Refining God Realm entity!

But merely to keep him entangled here!

Fighting until now, with his Refining God abilities, only over a hundred have been slain by him!

Among these, more than twenty were overambitious, trying for a strike, only to be cut down by him.

The remaining casualties owed to those unable to withstand the distributed damage during his mana attacks, being too close at the front or too weak in cultivation, leading to instant death!

"..."

Chen Long’s eyes turned extremely cold as he reached into his bosom and slowly said, "You think you can drag me to death here with just over a hundred casualties?"

In the next moment, he reached into his bosom and smashed a porcelain vial.

With a sudden roar!

A dense gray fog suddenly appeared above the sky dome!

This was no evil spirit, just a marsh miasma!

Covering the daylight, it fell into darkness.

In the next moment, Chen Long waved his hand.

Suddenly, a clear light glimmered out!

This was the evil spirit he worshiped!

"Confuse their sight, slow their formation!"

Chen Long tightened his grip on his long sword and said coldly, "I’m not leaving anymore! I’ll kill them all first! Without the military formation sharing the Sword Qi, let’s see how long these six refiners, thirteen Refining Essence, and three thousand elites of Yuan Shan City can withstand my sword!"

"And how long Chen Long can withstand my blade?"

At this very moment, from the edge of the gray fog, a blurry silhouette emerged.

The newcomer stood tall and straight, clothed in a Golden Patterned Black Robe.

A longbow on his back, a long blade in hand.

With just one step, a lotus bloomed.

In an instant, the figure stood ten paces away.

"I just received a letter from the Prefecture City."

Lin Yan calmly said, "Last time, I couldn’t personally slay the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader; this time... I’ll slay the one most qualified to become sect leader, you!"

He threw out the letter in his hand and said, "They tell me to let all corners of the world understand that the Human Clan’s fortune has surpassed the arrogance of Tribulation Ash!"
