Chapter 1515 The Final Battle
It was an utter collapse.
When the two teams collided, many of the Crimson Sunglow Sect’s men instantly fell.
It was as though they were all minor soldiers, and their enemies were all generals. There was a huge disparity between them.
Seeing this, Hanlong and the other elders were even stunned. They seemed to have understood something and looked at each other. More than a dozen elders quickly surrounded Heavenlight.
“s.h.i.+t!”
Youwu yelled from behind, “We underestimated the strength of the three sect remnants. Fall back! Heavenlight, come back!”
“Youwu!”
Taoist Heavenlight ground his teeth, his voice filled with hatred.
However, Youwu acted as if it didn’t hear him and said hurriedly, “Heavenlight is asking for help. Hurry up, let’s go and help.”
He personally led the group to fly over.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hanlong and more than a dozen other elders attacked decisively and fiercely. Even if they didn’t hurt Heavenlight, the aftermath was enough to make the nearby disciples of the Crimson Sunglow Sect suffer.
In just a dozen seconds, there was a large empty area around the place where some elders fought.
“You can’t trap me!”
Taoist Heavenlight’s eyes turned bloodshot. He charged forward with a ferocious look, risking his own life to open up a gap in the encirclement of elders.
Just as he was about to escape and the faces of Hanlong and others changed-
“Heavenlight! I’ll save you!”
Clatter!
Youwu exerted all his strength to launch an earth-shattering energy attack.
An illusory image of a green mountain appeared and smashed down in Heavenlight’s direction.
On the way, it suddenly exploded.
It turned into a powerful wave of air and forcefully pushed Heavenlight back.
Hanlong and the others were also affected and retreated hundreds of meters.
But Heavenlight was the first to bear the brunt. He retreated at least a thousand meters and returned to the encirclement.
At this moment, Heavenlight was injured.
“You’ll die! Youwu!”
Heavenlight was furious. “Crimson King won’t let you off! You trapped me!”
“Heavenlight!”
An even louder roar rang out. It was none other than Youwu’s voice. “I was kind enough to let you make contributions. I didn’t expect the survivors of the three sects to be so powerful. It’s all my fault. Heavenlight, even if I die today, I will do my best to save you. Don’t worry, even if it’s because of my mistake that Crimson King punishes me, I’ll take it, but I WILL save you today!”
“d.a.m.n it!”
Heavenlight’s breath caught in his throat. He was about to die from anger before being beaten to death.
Just as he was about to say something, the attacks of Hanlong and the others arrived.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavenlight was attacked from both front and back, suffering miserable pain.
“Kill them!”
With a resentful look on his face, Youwu rushed over and gave his two core subordinates a look.
“Elder Youwu!”
“Don’t be rash. Elder Heavenlight is in the encirclement, and you can’t just charge in there.”
“Elder Heavenlight is powerful, and he will be safe. Elder Youwu, you’ll have to go back and help the sect turn the table!”
“Take Elder Youwu back NOW!”
The subordinates’ eyes were red. They grabbed Youwu’s arms and legs and pulled him back forcefully.
Before leaving, Youwu cried sadly, “Heavenlight! Heavenlight, come back now! I’ll save you. Don’t pull me…”
In this regard, Hanlong and the others suddenly revealed a sinister smile.
Just as they were worrying about what to do, the other party began to fight amongst themselves.
“Oh, Heavenlight, you have been pushed into extreme danger, this is your fate.” Hanlong whispered, “Today, we will kill you first!”
“You think you can kill me?”
Taoist Heavenlight was both terrified and enraged. He let out a cold laugh and then used all of his power to open up a gap and flee.
However, he was no match for more than a dozen elders.
Although their realms were similar, Taoist Heavenlight’s combat capability was still a little higher.
He was rather difficult to deal with. After all, he was Crimson King’s core subordinate and was very powerful.
After Youwu was pulled back, he shouted in a sad tone, “Heavenlight!”
A few people behind them looked at the rapidly falling army ahead. For a moment, the scene was silent.
“Dad, that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Heavenlight is going to be killed.”
Mengmeng muttered, “Why do I feel that something is wrong? It seems that we’re about to win with ease.”
“Heavenlight got trapped.” Zhang Han had a good grasp of the situation. “Elder Youwu wanted to kill Heavenlight, but he didn’t expect the situation here. He took the opportunity to keep Heavenlight here. Even without this opportunity, he would still find a chance to kill Heavenlight.”
“Why? They’re all from the Crimson Sunglow Sect. One is the Second Elder, and the other the Third Elder.”
“People’s minds are hard to predict. As for the specific reason, only Youwu knows.” Zhang Han shook his head and said, “It’s common to do harm to someone through the hands of another in the Cultivation World. This is a very good method.”
“I see.”
“…”
The father and daughter chatted in hushed tones.
Xu Xiaoqiang also came back from the front and said to Mengmeng, “Why have you stopped fighting?”
“It’s boring. The enemies are too weak,” Mengmeng replied.
“So am I the winner this time?” Xu Xiaoqiang felt that he had finally won a round.
Mengmeng waved her hand and said, “You’ve done a good job. Here’s your reward.”
She directly gave him some spirit treasures.
Xu Xiaoqiang said with a smile, “Thank you, Sect Master Zhang. You’re so generous!”
After putting away the spirit treasures, Xu Xiaoqiang immediately felt that he was acting like a subordinate.
“I’m also a Sect Master!
“But why is it that I don’t give out spirit treasures as often as her?”
Elder Ju raised his hands and said in an excited voice, “Heavenlight is going to die.”
“This time, our Three Sects Alliance has won a great victory!”
“Victory!”
The people on the city wall were extremely excited.
“He’s dead!”
“Old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Heavenlight has fallen!”
“Hahaha! G.o.d bless our Vast Heaven Alliance!”
In the end, Taoist Heavenlight failed to hold on.
Before his death, he roared angrily, “Youwu! You’ll die a horrible death!”
“Heavenlight! I will definitely avenge you in the future!” Youwu’s voice was even louder, and it was filled with sorrow as it spread throughout the battlefield.
They were utterly defeated.
The Crimson Sunglow Sect’s men on the battlefront had all died.
Elder Youwu said coldly, “Retreat!
“Three Sects Alliance, you’ll wait and see.
“Our army will be here in a few days! We’ll kill all of you!”
Then, he waved his hand and led the rest of the people away in a hurry.
“YEAH!”
“Victory!”
On the battlefield, the disciples of the Three Sects Alliance were delighted as they all started calling out to vent their emotions.
The roars were earth-shattering. They turned into sound waves that spread in all directions. This was the joy of victory.
Many ordinary disciples didn’t know what happened exactly, but they didn’t need to know. They only knew that they had won at this time, and that was enough.
“What we’re going to face next is a truly tough battle.”
Elder Ju was very clear that they did not win with hard power this time, but the situation they would face later would not be so simple.
“People from all war zones are back.”
After Hanlong and the other elders came back, they stood on the city wall and discussed the situation.
“The headcount of our Three Sects Alliance isn’t small, and the Crimson Sunglow Sect’s inner-door disciples aren’t as powerful as we’d imagined.”
“I suggest we take the initiative to attack before Crimson King returns.”
“If we keep defending, next time, the other side will definitely come prepared.”
“I also recommend taking the initiative to attack. We can take a detour through the war zones and attack the rear of the Crimson Sunglow Sect. We’ll cut off all means of retreat. We don’t have many options left.”
“Should we attack the headquarters of the Crimson Sunglow Sect?”
Everyone looked at each other.
This suggestion was way too bold.
“The defenses at their headquarters are tight, this…”
“Then let’s do it.” Mengmeng suddenly said, “I know a little about the inner court of the Crimson Sunglow Sect. Although there are a lot of people in their headquarters, they have allocated a lot of forces to guard the territory of the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Evil Sect. We’d better not sit still and wait for death.”
The elders pondered for a moment.
They nodded heavily. “Alright, let’s discuss our strategy. This will be the counterattack of the Three Sects Alliance!”
Many elders began to discuss their strategy on the city walls.
It could be said that there were no spies from the Crimson Sunglow Sect present.
It was because those spies had already exposed themselves when the Crimson Sunglow Sect started the war.
The plan for the counterattack was gradually finalized in the midst of many discussions.
They didn’t do much planning. They would just find the right direction and attack in a place with the weakest defenses within the inner court of the Crimson Sunglow Sect.
This was the first time the army of the Vast Heaven Alliance had gone on an expedition.
They gave up the Authentic Martial Arts Sect’s territory and went to the Crimson Sunglow Sect. On the way, they had to pa.s.s through more than 60 war zones.
“Even if we fly at a low alt.i.tude, we will still be discovered with a large group.”
On the second day of the expedition, Mengmeng held a meeting of elders.
“This formation is called the Mist Concealment Formation. It costs a lot of crystal stones, but it can make the team hide. Elders, please arrange for the disciples to start setting up the formation.”
Mengmeng offered another great formation.
When it covered the entire place, there was a large mist on the Vast Heaven Star that was moving forward with the wind.
“What’s that mist?”
Someone noticed something amiss. “Could it be another secret realm?”
“I don’t know. Shall we go over and check it out?”
“Forget it. We need to hurry up and find the old site of the Heavenly Evil Sect.”
A team from the Crimson Sunglow Sect had pa.s.sed by not too far away and hadn’t discovered that people from the alliance were hidden in the mist.
Time pa.s.sed, one day after another.
When the ones from the alliance approached the Crimson Sunglow Sect, they were discovered.
“Alert!”
“It seems to be an enemy attack!”
The First Elder in charge of overseeing the Crimson Sunglow Sect led the disciples to start setting up the arrangements in advance and waited silently.
“The other party has reacted.”
“But we’ve already succeeded coming here. As long as Youwu’s team doesn’t have enough time to reinforce them, we’ll have a greater advantage.”
“Perhaps we really can take down the headquarters of the Crimson Sunglow Sect.”
Hanlong and the others were in high spirits.
They were close to the headquarters.
From a distance, they could see the enormous group from the Crimson Sunglow Sect.
At the same time, the great mist slowly dissipated.
“Oh my G.o.d!”
At this moment, many disciples of the Crimson Sunglow Sect gasped.
“It’s the Three Sects Alliance!”
“There are so many of them. How could they have gathered such a large group?”
“They dare attack the Crimson Sunglow Sect!”
“With the First Elder here, we won’t lose this battle!”
“Fight them!”
The First Elder of the Crimson Sunglow Sect personally led his men to charge forward.
Hanlong and the others did not waste any more time and quickly approached.
A great battle was about to break out.
“Inform all the outer-door disciples to form teams to besiege the other party and a.s.sist in the battle.”
The Crimson Sunglow Sect issued orders one after another.
“Order the fleet to reinforce us!”
“Tell the news to Youwu and ask him to attack them from the back.”
“This time, we’re going to wipe out the three sects.”
The First Elder had some confidence, but he was not certain.
It could be seen from the orders that he knew that his team might not be a match for them at the moment.
But a battle of this scale would still take some time. The three sects didn’t have reinforcements, but they did. Therefore, in his eyes, victory would ultimately belong to the Crimson Sunglow Sect.
