Chapter 1155: Chapter 449: The Divine Artifact Reappears Chapter 1155: Chapter 449: The Divine Artifact Reappears If the battle in the Luo Mansion was intense, then the situation at the Xiang Residence could only be described as slaughterous.
The Four Directions Camp, King’s Patrol Wind Departnt, Yun Family experts, Corpse Bone Protector, Zhongzhou’s demonic giants.
Each of these forces, taken alone, was enough to intimidate others. Now, they were fighting each other in a chaotic maelstrom, with new grudges and old hatreds boiling over, every fighter blinded by bloodlust.
The separate confrontations between powerful fighters were world-shattering, leading spectators to wonder whether the inner city would beco ruins first, or if the conflict would resolve before then.
An Yuanxi, who was fighting the Bone Taoist, managed to catch a glimpse of a King’s Patrol warrior being killed out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn’t help but twitch.
The one who died was An Tiannian, a disciple of the Divine Dynasty. Although of lowly birth, he was diligent. Limited by his talent, it took him nearly sixty years to reach the Fierce Realm, and his mastery of the God Shifting Technique was only at the first realm.
Joining the King’s Patrol was rely an attempt to secure so wealth for his children, to afford them better resources. His involvent in the Wind Departnt was simply because he was under An Yuanxi’s protection and hoped for so care.
Yet now, just monts ago, this man was slain right before his very eyes. In a rage, An Yuanxi’s four wings spread, as thunder and lightning converged with divine fla to forge the unfathomable hellfire, striking down in the direction where An Tiannian had fallen.
The two Fierce Realm enemies who killed An Tiannian had no ti to rejoice before they were entangled in the purgatorial flas and burned to ashes.
The wicked fire raged on, unquenchable, carving an bottomless black hole into the earth.
The sacred land’s technique of fusion for a single person allowed An Yuanxi to unleash a strike that went beyond his own realm. But in a clash between strong foes, such distractions were not permissible.
Seizing the opportunity, the Bone Taoist summoned the Ghostly Cloud Lock, its chain sharp as a spearhead, piercing through the four silver shields and stabbing into An Yuanxi’s shoulder blade.
This was the first ti since the battle began that Feng You had inflicted serious damage on An Yuanxi. Clutching the divine chain, the Bone Taoist boasted smugly, “This is the Ghostly Cloud Lock, forged from the gloom left after the Ming River was destroyed. It once spiraled through the depths of Hades until Yun Zu happened upon it and fused it with the spine of a king beast. Once this chain pierces the flesh, the Spiritual Power will be corroded by the ghastly miasma. This battle is mine!”
“Is that so?”
With the Divine Artifact embedded in his body, An Yuanxi’s expression remained unchanged. He grabbed the chain with a counter-move, coldly saying to Feng You, “Then Daoist Priest must observe closely, lest this victory slip away carelessly.”
“What!”
The immovable Cloud Chain made Feng You aware of impending doom. Staring at the distant An Yuanxi, he exclaid in shock, “Divine bone refinent, Yun physique, and wind incarnation, is this—!?”
“To master this divine technique, I even delayed the cultivation of my Undying Battle Body. Today, let’s see if the choice was wrong.”
An Yuanxi, holding onto the divine chain, was vying for control of the Ghostly Cloud Lock with Feng You, but more importantly, he could attack while doing so.
The Divine Wings vibrated, with wind, thunder, ice, and fire Divine Light striking like hellfire, slashing towards the Bone Taoist.
Left with no choice, Feng You had to allow the Bone of Eternal Destruction to step forward and block, heart wrenching at the sight of the divine bone taking the brunt of the attack, fissures forming.
Feng You had thought An Yuanxi’s distraction was his opportunity, but it turned out that his opponent had already decided to “lure the tiger from the mountain.” If he hadn’t greedily used the Divine Artifact for offense and instead for defense, there would have been no reason for failure in this battle. But his greed not only forfeited the initiative, it also put him at a disadvantage. He could only hope that due to An Yuanxi’s young age and the insufficient accumulation of the four Divine Wings, they would not be able to destroy the Bone of Eternal Destruction; otherwise, the situation would be dire!
The standoff in the sky persisted, but on the ground, victory gradually began to tilt toward the Yun Clan. The large battleground was divided into many smaller ones, and as battles scaled down to small skirmishes and one-on-one combat, the advantage of having more skilled fighters on the Yun Clan’s side slowly beca apparent.
And the advantage they had achieved was all due to Yun Ji’s commanding strategy, his years spent poring over military texts and battle tactics had finally found their place.
Watching Xiang Family warriors die one by one under his command, Yun Ji felt a thrill of vengeance being served.
The eight precious beasts of Yun’s Pavilion rampaged across the battlefield, acting as his trumpets and command officers, smashing An Yuanxi’s confidence into smithereens before allowing him to pick so pieces back up.
Seeing the Spirit World Passage open, Yun Ji was ecstatic, but when he saw only Xiu’er erge, he couldn’t help but ask in a grave voice, “Where are the others?”
There was no ti to explain what had happened to Daoist Priest Gouchen. Xiu’er quickly urged, “Please gather your troops and prepare to retreat imdiately!”
“Foolish!” Not seeing Daoist Priest Gouchen was already displeasing, and hearing Xiu’er’s words, Yun Ji imdiately chastised, “Right now the situation is excellent, the restoration is upon us this very night, what nonsense are you spouting!”
“It’s a trap set by Xiang Ange.” Seeing that her brother wouldn’t listen, Xiu’er beca even more desperate, her tears about to fall, she stepped forward, “Before faking his death, Xiang Ange had a secret eting with twelve wealthy rchants within the city. Now there’s an army of powerful warriors ready to strike. If we wait until they encircle us, it will be too late!”
“What!?” Yun Ji felt dizzy and his vision swam, he looked up at the grand array sealing the inner city, his figure swayed and he staggered backwards several steps.
With his extensive knowledge in military strategy, he knew all too well what this situation ant. He had been proud of dividing the battlefield, but now all he felt was despair.
“Brother, don’t panic, the wealthy rchants have been stalled, and the grand array covering the inner city will collapse in just a mont longer! If we call back our troops into the Spirit World Passage, we can use it to leave when the ti cos.”
Yun Ji, thinking the situation was completely lost but realizing there was still a glimr of hope, clenched his teeth and contacted the scattered warriors through the eight precious Yun beasts, ordering all the dispersed fighters to retreat toward the battlefield.
But the biggest problem with a rabble of fighters is exactly here, it’s easy to command bloodthirsty killers with an order, just give them a target and they will charge fearlessly.
However, it’s not that easy to stop them, to make them give up the excellent situation at hand and retreat, none of them were too willing.
Only the disciples of the Yun Clan imdiately dropped their desire to kill upon hearing Yun Ji’s call and began retreating toward the ruins of the Xiang Residence.
And with the absence of the elite, the Xiang Family warriors and the troops of the Wind Departnt were able to take a breath and begin regrouping their formation.
However, the Yanyun Grandmaster, who had been closely watching the battlefield, beca enraged at this scene. No longer caring to hide his skills, he imdiately joined with the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, the seventy-two Cloud Chains strengthened by a Divine Artifact, with one strike he sent Clan Leader Yun Huan flying.
“The Yun Family is retreating, where the hell are those damned reinforcents!”
With a cold face and carrying the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, the Yanyun Grandmaster didn’t even glance at the severely injured Yun Huan, he bellowed, “Reopen the Cold Moon Spirit Concealnt Array, not a single traitor from the Cloud Council shall escape!”
After being sent flying dozens of Zhang, Clan Leader Yun Huan managed to steady his form, clutching his chest while spitting out a mouthful of blood, he exclaid in shock, “How did the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul end up in your hands!?”
“Heh,” the Yanyun Grandmaster lifted his right hand, adorned with the Divine Artifact, and sneered, “You should be asking that precious relative of yours, see, isn’t she talking with Yun Ji now?”
Clan Leader Yun Huan turned his head to look, his eyes almost splitting with rage, Xiu’er was standing behind Yun Ji at that mont, only a half-arms-distance away from the unsuspecting Clan Leader Yun.
