Chapter 250: Chapter 209: Great Defeat and Breakthrough (Extra Chapter, Please Subscribe)_2

"Silence!"

Fang Xing looked at the noisy hall and lightly snapped his fingers.

With a single swoosh of his sword, the cultivators present fell as silent as if they were struck dumb.

After all, this general was a fierce man who could take down a Fake Core with a single sword strike; even at such a critical juncture, Real Person Lv Yi dared not provoke him.

"If you have questions, ask them one by one. Lv Yi!"

Fang Xing began calling names.

"May I ask the general... How did you breach Myriad Beasts Mountain when they had an array and a large number of cultivators?"

Real Person Lv Yi’s face was a bit pale as he asked, which was the information all the cultivators in the hall craved.

"It was breached by a forcible attack... It’s said that a Nascent Soul True Monarch made the move. Although Myriad Beasts Mountain’s camp was guarded by a Golden Core Sword Cultivator from our sect and had an array, it was still overrun... The Golden Core Uncle-Master has fallen in battle."

Fang Xing had nothing to hide and spoke directly.

"Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

Those four words carried a heavy weight, causing the once-calm hall to teeter on the brink of uproar again.

"Alright, next, you."

Fang Xing pointed to Han Qingyun.

Taking a deep breath amidst the gazes of the many mid-stage and late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Han Qingyun calmly asked, "Did the Upper Sect’s Nascent Soul True Monarch make any moves to stop them?"

According to the rules of the Cultivation World, it was customarily a battle of equals, troop against troop, general against general.

In their view, since a Supreme Elder of Wanxiang Demon Sect had taken action, it should have been Chu Kuangtu to meet him, leaving room to turn the tides of the battle.

"Regarding that..."

Fang Xing wore an odd expression: "What I can tell you is that our sect’s Supreme Elder is currently restraining a Nascent Soul old demon from Wanxiang Demon Sect, and neither party has made a move..."

"What? There is another Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Demon Path backing them up?"

"This, this, this..."

The cultivators nearly lost their minds.

In fact, facing this situation, this mixed force, which was not solely composed of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, was almost ready to surrender.

But alas... they simply couldn’t beat Fang Xing.

"May I ask the general... what should we do now?"

Finally, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator stood out to inquire.

He was originally a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator but had made notable achievements in battle, receiving a great deal of Elixirs to enhance his Cultivation and exchanged for a pill that broke through stages, finally advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment — a beneficiary of the war dividends.

"At last, someone asks a practical question."

Fang Xing nodded in agreement and flicked his finger, causing a light screen to appear featuring a map of the Five Sects and Ten Countries: "This surprise attack by Wanxiang Demon Sect was long in the making... With our retreat cut off, we will inevitably be encircled!"

From the map, one could see that the Heavenly Sword Sect, despite occupying the original Heavenly Waterfall Sect and Five Elements Sect’s Spirit Veins and having a large army at Mu Sha Sect, was cut off from retreat.

"At this moment, the most dangerous is the large army at the direction of Mu Sha Sect, being in the midst of a great battle and unable to retreat smoothly, is bound to face fierce attacks..."

"Our flanking force, attracting less attention, can break through separately... First head towards Zheng Country, then make our way to Qi Country... Of course, many of you are cultivators from Zheng Country, and if you don’t wish to go to Qi Country, you can stay in Zheng Country to lie low or carry out guerrilla warfare..."

Fang Xing explained.

Although he knew that once the Demon Path’s influence grew, ninety-nine percent of these cultivators would defect to the enemy,

how could he execute them now for something that might happen in the future?

What’s more... these worthless riffraff, even if they defected, wouldn’t be of much use.

Hence, he was indifferent.

Moreover... making it back to Zheng Country alive would be not an easy feat.

"Now, transmit my military order, break through in individual units!"

Fang Xing waved his hand.

This was essentially equivalent to declaring an on-the-spot disbandment.

He didn’t even want to take along the burden of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

As soon as his words ended, he turned into a sword light, rushing into the sky and disappearing from view...

"This..."

Han Qingyun watched as the hall instantly descended into chaos, his lips twitching slightly: "Is this breaking through separately? Or is the general deserting the field of battle?"

He actually very much wanted to follow the General.

Even without thinking, one could tell that the way back was now absolutely thorn-ridden, and the chances of surviving were greater with high-level cultivators.

Unfortunately...

Fang Xing hadn’t actually left. He was simply hidden within the clouds, watching the chaos below.

He fully witnessed what it meant to have cultivators swarm like locusts.

It started with Real Person Lv Yi, who directly crushed the opposition with his cultivation level, sweeping away all the spiritual materials and elixirs in the treasure vault that he deemed unworthy, and then, along with a small team of Qingxuan Sect’s elite, rapidly departed on a flying boat.

Incredibly, they also chose to abandon the majority of the Qingxuan Sect cultivators!

The remaining cultivators, after frantically scavenging the leftovers from the high-level cultivators, dispersed in a stampede.

In some places, they even dug up the immature spiritual medicine from the Spiritual Medicine Garden!

Fires broke out over this, truly a scene of utter chaos.

Even more so, in the midst of the turmoil, an army from the Demon Path had already appeared in the south.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators didn’t hesitate for a second, scattering instantly like birds and beasts, each displaying their divine skills.

"Hmm, those flying, burrowing, running on spiritual beasts, controlling puppets..."

Fang Xing nodded as he observed, "Although these miscellaneous cultivators aren’t much in battle, they sure have perfected their escaping spells, haven’t they?"

"Oh? And there are a few heading straight towards the enemy army. Are they preparing to defect directly?"

To him, the top spiritual treasures from Five-finger Peak were already secured inside his storage ring, and these miscellaneous cultivators wouldn’t even be regarded by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Their loss was just that, a loss.

Moreover, this was a failure of the grand strategy, not a fault of battle.

’Although fleeing from battle isn’t much of an issue, it doesn’t quite match with the name of a sword cultivator... I must at least take a few heads to not waste this trip.’

With this thought, Fang Xing concealed his sword light and followed a few of the defecting loose cultivators.

Boom!

The great army from the Demon Path in the south was composed of dozens of flying boats.

When they saw a cultivator approaching, a blood cloud immediately flew out, and within it was an old man holding a demon banner, shouting, "I am the Third Hall Master of the Blood River Palace... now leading the vanguard of the great army. With the Heavenly Sword Sect now defeated, what will you do?"

"We wish to join the Demon Path, no... the Saint Dao!"

An old loose cultivator, with a smile plastered on his face and ingratiatingly bowing, said, "The Third Hall Master might not know... but when the Heavenly Sword Sect’s True Inheritor heard of the approaching army, he directly abandoned his position and fled. Now, with the army’s advance, we can triumph without a fight..."

"What?"

The Third Hall Master of the Blood River Palace was furious, "Damn it... That True Inheritor of the Sword Child had such a reputation, I wanted to turn him into a blood corpse, and yet he’s run away?"

For the Blood River Palace, the essence blood of cultivators was the most valuable resource.

Upon hearing that the mountainful of cultivators had mostly fled, the Third Hall Master was so angry that his beard and hair stood on end, "In that case, what use would I have for you lot?"

He spread his hand wide, and the Blood River swept forth, engulfing the few surrendering loose cultivators, instantly soiling any magic artifact or vestment robe.

Together with that, the cultivators’ physiques immediately dissolved into a pool of pus and blood.

"Damn it... damn it all!"

The Third Hall Master roared, "Send a boat of men to take Five-finger Peak first... we’ll then move on to the Mu Sha Sect, with the Holy Sect army to hold them off, that force from the Heavenly Sword Sect definitely won’t be able to escape..."

Just then, a sword cry suddenly echoed through the void!

A magnificent sword, cleaving through the Blood River!

Before the early-stage Core Formation Third Hall Master could react, a sword shadow pierced into his sea of consciousness, causing him a moment of agonizing distraction.

"Sword Intent Heavenly Heart!"

Fang Xing, controlling the Rotten Iron Sword, a streak of sword light followed a trajectory like divine punishment, thundering down and shattering the Third Hall Master’s protective true essence.

"Argh!"

At the crucial moment, a Blood Ghost leapt out from the Third Hall Master’s lifebound magical treasure, the demon banner, howling as it opened its ferocious maw to bite the flying sword.

It was the lifebound magical treasure acting on its own to protect its master!

"An attempt to stop the inevitable."

Fang Xing sneered, as his sword light flickered like thunder, precise and dense, carrying the utmost meaning of slicing.

The Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Gang tore through the Blood Ghost and hit the finally recovering Third Hall Master, instantly killing him.

The sword light shifted, picking up a storage bag, and then man and sword merged into one, forming a shocking rainbow that soared into the heavens and fled...
