Chapter 5: The Great Army Strikes

Yin Shang State, the imperial capital.

Since the day before yesterday, the clear sky was covered by fiery red clouds, and the entire imperial capital city was shrouded in a stormy atmosphere.

Not only did the number of soldiers on the streets suddenly increase by more than ten times, but the main roads of the city gates, and even the towers high in the city, appeared from time to time with long swords on their backs, and sword cultivators who were on strict guard.

All the sword cultivators and guards had their eyes open, and even if a fly flew overhead, they had to watch carefully for a long time.

Although everyone's expressions are still calm, those who have a heart can still find that an invisible sense of crisis and urgency is enveloping everyone's heart.

The Imperial Capital City has been locked down for half a month, and in this half a month, no one from the Demon Spirit Sword Sect has appeared.

However, Shang Li and Hai Wuya all knew that this was just the calm before the storm. This time, the Demon Spirit Sword Sect is attacking the overall situation, and the momentum is violent, and it will never let go of the survivors of the Four Great Sword Sects so easily, let alone the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom who has a deep blood feud with the Demon Spirit Sword Sect.

In the early morning, the sky was just slightly bright, the sea was endless, and Ning Hao and the other sect masters of the four major sects were all gathered on the bell tower at the highest point of the city wall of the imperial capital.

Scanning the endless wilderness outside the city, the sect masters of the four major sects all showed a trace of distress in their eyes.

In less than a month, including the four major sects, a total of 218 sects were completely destroyed, and these destroyed sects, except for the one hundred and two sects that were subordinated to the Demon Spirit Sword Sect and became the minions of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect, and nearly 10,000 disciples survived, the remaining sects were all wiped out like the four major sects.

Fortunately, the four major sects have a deep heritage, and when the crisis came, the people of Hai Wuya took the lead in secretly transferring all the elite disciples in the sect to the imperial capital.

If it weren't for the wise decision of Hai Wuya and the others, I'm afraid that no one from the four major sects would have survived at this moment.

As soon as the day dawned, the clouds revealed a thick red like blood.

The crimson sky covered the sky and the earth with a blood-colored coat, making everyone in the blood-colored sea feel suffocated in their chests.

Looking at the plains in the distance, which was particularly calm and could not even hear the roar of a wild beast, the autumn sun, which had always been silent, let out a faint sigh.

"Will we be able to escape this catastrophe this time?" asked Qiuyang uncertainly.

Hearing Qiuyang's question, the expressions of everyone in the sea were dim.

Not only Qiuyang has no confidence in his heart, the sea is boundless, Wu Hao, and Liu Yunfeng are also unconfident in their hearts.

Just half a month ago, they had not despaired. But when the impregnable sect station in their minds was completely broken by the Demon Spirit Sword Sect in just three days, they no longer had confidence in their hearts.

"There shouldn't be any problem. Isn't there still a four-phase formation to protect in the Imperial Capital City? When Old Man Shang opens the formation, no matter how strong the Demon Spirit Sword Sect is, it will be impossible to break through the defenses of the Imperial Capital City. Wu Hao said comfortingly.

In the face of Wu Hao's words, all the people in Hai Wuya did not speak.

The four-phase formation is the guardian formation of the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom, and it is extremely powerful. However, even the formations of the four major sword sects have been destroyed, can the four-phase formations of the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom really be able to resist the fierce attack of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect?

stared into the distance for a long time, and suddenly, Hai Wuya's gaze froze, and a fierce aura erupted from his body.

"Here they are, here they are!" said Hai Wuya in a deep voice.

At the same time as Hai Wuyan's voice fell, the bodies of Wu Hao and Qiuyang all trembled, and their eyes were all condensed in the void thousands of kilometers away.

In the sky thousands of kilometers away, a black and oppressive cloud surged in the direction of the imperial capital city at a galloping speed.

When the clouds entered the kilometer area, everyone really saw that the so-called clouds were actually one after another, and its scale was comparable to that of a vitality car that pressed the dark clouds.

The vitality car appeared, and on the walls of the imperial capital city, a sharp alarm sounded immediately.

In just half a pillar of incense time, the elite disciples of the four major sects, the royal guards of the Yin Shang Kingdom, and the soldiers defending the city all gathered on the city wall.

Everyone's eyes were all staring at the vitality car speeding in the sky.

There was shock and panic in these eyes, but more than that, there was resentment and a raging rage.

The Demon Spirit Sword Sect is a first-class evil sect in the world, and before the last time the Demon Spirit Sword Sect was exterminated, the seeds of hatred for the Demon Spirit Sword Sect were planted in the hearts of many sword cultivators.

Now the Demon Spirit Sword Sect is attacking on a large scale, directly stimulating the hatred in everyone's hearts.

"The disciples of the Lishui Sword Sect listen to the order and prepare to fight!"

"The disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect listen to the order and prepare to fight!"

"Shapeshift Sect disciples listen to orders and prepare to fight!"

"The disciples of the Sword Transformation Sect listen to the order and prepare to fight!"

"The Imperial Guards of the Yin Shang Kingdom are ready to fight!"

One after another, shouts rang out from above the city walls.

In the midst of the hurried shouts, the disciples of the four major sects gathered on the city wall, the sword cultivators of the imperial guards, all unsheathed their swords, and their bodies exuded a generous aura of seeing death as if they were at home.

In the sky, the galloping vitality car came to the area three meters away from the imperial capital of the Yin Shang Kingdom.

The black-pressed vitality car slowly stopped in mid-air, the hatch opened, and thousands of sword cultivators wearing black tight-fitting sword cultivation costumes and carrying blood-red demon spirit swords jumped out.

These sword cultivation movements were neatly aligned, and after landing on the ground, they automatically converged into a four-sided array.

After all the sword cultivators had completely set up their formations, a jet-black vitality car in the sky turned on, and slowly fell down five people in black who were tall, and their entire bodies and faces were all wrapped in black clothes and silk cloth.

The five black-clothed men were of the same height, had the same movements, and the dark purple demon spirit sword they were carrying behind their backs was also depicted in a mold.

Seeing the five black-clothed men fall to the ground, the sword cultivators of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect in those phalanxes knelt on the ground in unison, and respectfully kowtowed to the five sword cultivators.

"Is that the Demon Spirit Five Emissaries of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect?" After seeing the five black-clothed people, the faces of everyone in Hai Wuya changed in unison.

The last time the royal family of Yin Shang Kingdom united with the four major sects to encircle and suppress the Demon Spirit Sword Sect, they let these five people run away.

The people of the sea never expected that it was these five fish that slipped through the net that would organize such a large team decades later.

After the five emissaries of the demon spirit landed on the ground, two rays of light slowly flew out of the vitality car in the sky again, one gold and one silver.

The gold and silver rays swirled and fell in the void and fell to the ground, which made it clear that these two rays of lightning, which were faster than lightning, were actually a sword cultivator wearing a golden silk robe and a sword cultivator wearing a silver exquisite robe.

"Demon Spirit Sword Sect Gold and Silver Second Protector?" Seeing the Golden Light Man and the Silver Light Man, everyone in the sea was stunned.

The Demon Spirit Sword Sect's predecessor, the Gold and Silver Second Protector, had already fallen in that extermination battle, but why did the Demon Spirit Sword Sect have two Gold and Silver Protectors again.

Staring at the two protectors of gold and silver, the faces of all the people in the sea became extremely ugly.

The strength of this newly appeared gold and silver protector law had all reached the level of a ninth-level peak sword king. Even though the two were separated by hundreds of meters, the people of the Sea Boundless still clearly felt that the strength of the two protectors of gold and silver was not much weaker than their four great sect masters.

After the two protectors of gold and silver appeared, the five envoys of the demon spirit also knelt on the ground.

Just when the people of the sea were thinking that the pomp of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect had come to an end, a black mist flew out from inside the Yuan Qi car again.

The mist was like a black tornado, hovering in the void, swirling and spreading.

With the fog covering a radius of tens of meters, a black figure walked out of the vitality car, slowly stepped on the void, and fell to the ground.

"Demon Spirit Footwork?" This person is actually cultivating a secret technique that only the Demon Spirit Sword Sect Sect Master can cultivate—Demon Spirit Footwork.

Looking at the man in black who suddenly appeared, everyone in the sea was shocked.

They didn't expect that the Demon Spirit Sword Sect not only re-recruited the Gold and Silver Protectors, but also found a new sect master.

After the black shadow stepped on the ground, the earth immediately shook abruptly.

Countless traces of cracks quickly spread from the surface of the earth, until hundreds of meters before they came to an abrupt end.

"Sword Emperor, this new sect master of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect is actually a Sword Emperor powerhouse?" Feeling the aura emanating from the black shadow in the mist, the faces of everyone in the sea became extremely ugly.

Looking at the entire Yin Shang Kingdom, there was no Sword Emperor powerhouse, and now, the power revealed by the Demon Spirit Sword Sect Sect was enough to make everyone panic.

The shadow stood still on the ground and slowly raised its head.

Due to the fog, it is not possible to tell his gender, nor can he see his specific figure.

However, this did not affect the black shadow's stunning jet-black eyes, which were revealed in front of everyone.

In the dark mist, the eyes of the black shadow were like two knives, through the mist, through the distance, hundreds of meters away, and bet on the people of the sea boundless, making the body of the sea boundless people involuntarily stiffen.

"Let Shang Li come out and talk to me!" In the mist, there were bursts of hoarse shouts.

The voice was sharp and piercing, but it spread far away, directly causing everyone in the imperial capital to clearly hear the shouts of the black mist people.

The shouts fell, and from inside the imperial city of the imperial capital, there were bursts of whistling sounds.

Like the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, it rose to the sky, shattering the vitality contained in the words of the Black Mist Man.

"Shang Bei, you're finally back!" Shang Li, who was sitting cross-legged at the top of the tower in the center of the imperial city, said in a deep voice.

His voice was cold, but like the words of the Black Mist, it spread throughout the city, in the wilderness, and touched every corner.

"Hmph!" Facing the trembling vitality in Shang Li's words, the Black Mist let out a cold snort.

A violent burst of energy erupted from the sound waves, suddenly dispersed, and collided with Shang Li's voice, striking a bang in the void.

"Shang Li, have you thought about it? If you hand over that thing now, I can spare the people of the Imperial Capital City, as well as the royal family of your Yin Shang Kingdom, and the four major sects. The black fog man who was called Shang Bei by Shang Li said loudly.

Shang Bei's words fell, and everyone in the sea who stood on the city wall was stunned.

For a long time, they thought that the Demon Spirit Sword Sect was a cult, so they would do evil.

But now, when I heard that Shang Li was talking to him, it seemed that things were not just as simple as they appeared on the surface, but there was something else hidden.

I owe six thousand words last night, and although no one asked, the tiger still remembered it. In fact, the more I write, the greater the pressure on the tiger, and the more I need to think about it repeatedly when I write. Maybe there will be four more tonight, and the last chapter will be returned, and if it is not returned today, it will be paid back in three days. Thank you all for your support.
