This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 40: This Oath (Part 2)



The Yue Hua engulfed the three Venerables in an instant.

The booming sounds of battle echoed throughout this world.

...... After a long, long time.

The Yue Hua remained brilliantly shining.

The eyes of the Martial Emperor Qingfeng were blurred.

Blood was continuously flowing down from the wound on his head, spreading across his eyes and turning his vision into a blood-red blur.

He was the Martial Emperor; a mere surge of Qi-Blood could heal wounds for him.

However, now he could only let the blood flow out.

Because his Qi-Blood was already depleted.

There is no true eternity in the world; even the body of the Martial Emperor cannot be immortal.

The prolonged battle and repeated recovery had finally shown signs of wilting in the body of the Martial Emperor Qingfeng.

The mana of the Daoist Master Li Xing and the Nine Lotus Spirit Venerable was also nearing exhaustion under the relentless assault of the Bright Moon Formation.

The bodies of the three Honorable Realm cultivators were covered with fine scars from the Moon Swords, with Blood Beads continuously oozing out, staining their clothes into blood garments.

They were already very exhausted.

Yet the White Tiger Sovereign and Xuanwu Sovereign, who were manipulating the Bright Moon Formation for the attack, still maintained a posture of ease.

The side with the numerical advantage was already at the end of their strength, but the two-person side remained unscathed.

This was merely because of a single formation.

This is the formation of Ancestral Daoist Xia.

"The time has come," Daoist Master Li Xing suddenly said.

At this moment, in Dragon City Pass, the sounds of war and technique blasts gradually faded.

This colossal pass, which was noisy all night, fell into a deathly silence amid widespread devastation.

This was because the resistance forces of Dragon City Pass had almost been entirely wiped out by the Demon Race.

High above, the bright moon formed by the Bright Moon Divine Formation still hung in the sky.

The bright moon overhead, the wood has become a boat.

Dragon City Pass has fallen.

All the other cultivators of Dragon City Pass had already died in the battle of defense.

Now, only the final three Honorable Realm cultivators remained in Dragon City Pass.

They were the last remaining force of resistance in Dragon City Pass.

"If Dragon City Pass, which gathered the strongest forces of the Central Spirit Domain, has fallen, how can the Central Spirit Domain not be destroyed!" the White Tiger Sovereign shouted sternly.

"Fool," Daoist Master Li Xing spat out faintly between clenched teeth.

Then, the bodies of the three Honorable Realm cultivators suddenly flashed with light, dazzling and brilliant like the sun.

At this moment, Dragon City Pass, shrouded in night, seemed like daylight.

In their final moment, the three Honorable Realm cultivators chose the most tragic self-destruction.

No future, a self-destruction that dissipates the soul.

They had awaited this moment for a long time.

Enduring until now, for the sounds of battle to cease.

This indicated that only Demon Race cultivators remained in Dragon City Pass now.

Their self-destruction would not harm their own kind.

This was why they persisted in defense despite knowing they could not withstand the power of the Bright Moon Formation and did not strike before their mana was exhausted.

They were merely buying time.

Just quietened Dragon City Pass was met with three thunderous explosions.

The self-destruction of the three mighty Honorable Realm cultivators had an unimaginably powerful impact.

The intense shockwave shook the entire Dragon City Pass.

Where the shockwave passed, it was destructive, flinging all buildings into the air.

Three brilliantly radiant suns rose.

The three Honorable Realm cultivators embraced their end with composure, sacrificing themselves heroically.

........

The dazzling light lasted for three breaths.

In just three breaths of time, the shockwave plowed through half of Dragon City Pass.

Outside Dragon City Pass.

Two figures appeared.

They were the White Tiger Sovereign and Xuanwu Sovereign.

Normally, self-destruction could not possibly cause significant harm to enemies of the same realm.

Because the time required to initiate self-destruction was more than enough for enemies of the same realm to escape the blast range.

But the issue was that Daoist Master Li Xing, Nine Lotus Spirit Venerable, and Martial Emperor Qingfeng were never coming for those two.

Their target was the Demon Race cultivators in Dragon City Pass.

Those Eighth Grade and Seventh Grade Demon Cultivators did not have the ability to escape the self-destruction blast range of Honorable Realm cultivators in such a short time.

Using the great to deal with the small.

This appeared foolish, yet it was the most wise decision under the circumstances.

The power of the Bright Moon Formation could completely limit and resist the self-destruction of Honorable Realm cultivators.

But the problem was, the three Honorable Realm cultivators self-destructed inside the Bright Moon Divine Formation, not outside it.

The formation's group defensive capability could only target external attacks.

The three Honorable Realm cultivators understood this perfectly, which is why they chose this method.

Thus, their self-destruction brought an unimaginably significant loss to the Demon Race.

Whiz!

Another sound of air being torn apart arose.

A black figure appeared beside the two Sovereigns.

It was the Eastern Qi Demon Lord, who led the army to suppress other battlefields of Dragon City Pass.

"Soul Venerable, Yu Venerable, at least a thousand Eighth Grade Demon Cultivators died in the self-destruction of the three, never to reappear," the Eastern Qi Demon Lord said.

"The number of dead Seventh Grade Demon Cultivators is even greater..."

The face of the Xuanwu Sovereign turned somber.

Even though they had successfully taken Dragon City Pass as planned,

such a costly victory left them unable to smile.

......

As dawn approached, a sliver of light appeared.

Dragon City Pass finally fell completely silent, but the scent of blood was incredibly strong and lingered long, unable to dissipate without time.

Mages of the Demon Race continuously streamed into the eastern, western, and northern gates facing the extraterritorial battlefield.

The determination of the Heart Demon clan was extraordinarily strong, leaving themselves little room for retreat.

Apart from keeping a few essential forces to prevent vulnerabilities at their rear from other Seven Great Holy Demon Clans, all deployable forces were fully sent to the Central Spirit Domain.
