On Blue Star, inside a deserted Taoist temple.
Li Taibai suddenly opened his eyes and sprang from the wooden bed.
After looking around, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
“What kind of immense power is this? It can actually influence the rules of the world. What a terrifying enemy.”
Unlike others, Li Taibai was a true cultivator. He didn’t believe that anything in the game was fake; it was very likely a real cultivation world.
The higher his cultivation realm, the stronger this feeling became.
Especially the cultivation techniques, which were simply treasures for him.
One must know that the cultivation technique he was currently practicing was only an incomplete, solitary copy, and many parts of it were only half-understood.
However, in the game, none of these were problems.
He opened his phone and found the group chat buzzing with activity.
Lin Ye: 【How’s the sect doing now? I’m so anxious!】
Ye Wuyai: 【The fifth batch of players hasn’t come out yet; they should still be fighting inside.】
Wang Xiaojun: 【I think it’s a bit dicey. Even if they revive, they can’t hold out against so many people.】
Fang Yuan: 【Damn it, I died the earliest! I didn’t even get to deploy my Human Emperor Banner. What a huge loss!】
Qin Hao: 【This battle was really satisfying, but there were just too many people.】
Baldy: 【I was hacked to death by a chaotic mob. It’s really frustrating!】
Li Yongxiao: 【You guys, if Hua Xia Sect is destroyed, won’t we be unable to enter the game?】
Jiang Xiaoxiao: 【Xian Ge said that if Hua Xia Sect is annihilated, the game will end, and there will be no chance to restart.】
Zhao Shijie: 【The situation is very urgent. Pay attention to the time. As soon as the Ban time is up, go in immediately to support!】
Huo Sichun: 【My dear, I died so tragically. You must avenge me.】
Zhao Shijie: 【I just reviewed this battle and found that we lack experience in dealing with large-scale battlefields. We should divide into small teams, with defensive teams and offensive teams. This way, it won’t be chaotic, and we can maximize our output.】
Huo Sichun: 【Zhao Shijie, I’m talking to you?! (Anger, anger)】
Baldy: 【Senior Brother Zhao makes sense. To win with fewer numbers, we should use unconventional tactics. As for how to be unconventional, let me think about it some more.】
Li Yongxiao: 【This plan can only be established when the military strengths of both sides are similar. For us, the numerical gap is too large. Our total number is only a thousand, while the opponent has hundreds of thousands. We can't confront them head-on.】
Zhao Shijie: 【Then how should we break this deadlock?】
Huo Sichun: 【@Zhao Shijie, I’m angry! I’m not eating today!】
Zhao Shijie: 【Be good. I’ll avenge you when I get back.】
Xian: 【Attention all players, hostile sects have now gathered over a million cultivators, attempting to attack the Hua Xia Sect’s main base. Players, please prepare for support.】
【Currently, Hua Xia Sect is very likely to be annihilated. To deal with this catastrophe, Hua Xia Sect will allocate 50,000 contribution points to each player as war reserves.】
【Players, it’s a matter of life and death. I will fight alongside you until the very last moment.】
Fang Yuan: 【Damn it!】
Qin Hao: 【Xian Ge, can you lift the Ban? I want to kill people right now!】
Lin Ye: 【Good heavens, they’re attacking the main base directly! How can we tolerate this?! Let’s kill them all!】
Sun Yiyi: 【I want revenge! I want revenge! I want revenge!】
Ye Wuyai: 【The fifth batch of players must be strong! You must hold on until we return!】
Shen Qinghan: 【The enemy has already reached Hua Xia Sect and deployed Imperial Weapons. Xian Ge, hurry back!】
Chu Heshan: 【Dozens of Yuan Ying Stage cultivators leading over a million cultivators are besieging Hua Xia Sect. Xian Ge, urgent support needed!】
Li Taibai: 【We just got kicked out. I don’t know if Senior Feng and the others can hold on.】
Luo Xi: 【Where’s Xia Ling?】
Xia Ling: 【Sister, I’m here. I also died, but I didn’t have time to retrieve my weapon. What should I do?】
Fang Guohua: 【Latest intelligence! The sect-protecting formation has been breached by the enemy, and all players from the fifth batch have fallen in battle!】
Ye Wuyai: 【Oh my god, you all died? Then doesn’t that mean only Xian Ge is left defending the position???】
Lin Ye: 【This time, it’s truly completely over. I’m so anxious!!】
Liu Piaopiao: 【When I died, I saw people from Ziwei Sect and Star Sect arrive, but people from Limitless Sect and Lian Shi Sect also brought people to attack.】
Zhao Shijie: 【You must hold on! At least until we get back!】
...
On the other side.
By the time Chu Huaian and the two others returned to Hua Xia Sect, they saw many players self-destructing one after another, forcing everyone back.
The Chaos Bell emitted a faint blue light in the void, held captive by a large hand.
“Hahaha, it’s mine, the Imperial Weapon is mine!” an old man laughed wildly.
Just then.
A cold light flashed, severing his arm.
“Ah!!”
The old man clutched his severed arm, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
The Chaos Bell disappeared into the void and reappeared in Chu Huaian’s hand.
“Chu Huaian, hand over the Imperial Weapon!”
Mo Li and the two others arrived, simultaneously charging towards Chu Huaian.
Jing Yuan and Bai Yue immediately stood in front of him.
Bang—
Neither side used their full strength; they merely clashed briefly before separating.
After all, everyone around them was on their own side, and unleashing spiritual energy would only increase casualties.
Feng Qingyang led everyone to retreat to Chu Huaian’s side, his gaze fixed on the dense enemy in front of them.
Not long after, two forces appeared from the south, numbering around a hundred thousand people.
At the same time, three terrifying forces also appeared from the north. These were disciples from Lian Shi Sect and Limitless Sect, plus the hundred thousand cultivators who had pursued them from the central region earlier, bringing the total to nearly four hundred thousand people.
“People from Hehuan Sect will arrive soon,” Bai Yue said with a solemn expression, transmitting her voice to the two.
“Chu Xiaozi, the situation isn’t looking good,” Jing Yuan said, a worried look in his eyes.
Even if Ziwei Sect and Hehuan Sect blocked Limitless Sect and Lian Shi Sect, how would they deal with the million cultivators from the other sects?
Now, the entire Hua Xia Sect, to put it bluntly, only had Chu Huaian left!
Oh, and a few Foundation Establishment Stage demonic beasts, plus over twenty miscellaneous disciples.
That’s it?
They had to hold on for three days?
Three minutes would be a struggle!
Jing Yuan’s eyelids twitched wildly; he even felt like taking his people and running away.
Bai Yue had the same thought as him.
Both of them were already cursing inwardly, feeling that they had boarded Chu Huaian’s pirate ship!
“How about we just run? We can still make it if we run now,” Lin Ting muttered softly.
“Senior Brother Chu…”
Yun Xiang tugged at Chu Huaian’s sleeve, her eyes showing a pleading look.
“Senior, if I give you the Chaos Bell, can you stop Mo Li and the two others?” Chu Huaian asked softly.
“Killing them would be difficult, but holding them off shouldn’t be a problem,” Jing Yuan answered without thinking, then reacted, saying in a daze, “You mean…”
Chu Huaian nodded, “Exactly. You hold off the three of them, and Senior Bai Yue and I will deal with the others.”
Hearing this, Bai Yue couldn’t help but roll her eyes, saying irritably, “Are you telling this Venerable One to deal with over fifty Yuan Ying Stage cultivators, or are you telling this Venerable One to deal with a million cultivators?”
“Chu Huaian, you really think highly of this Venerable One, don’t you?”
“You flatter me, Senior. If we add my Sword Spirit, I wonder if Senior would have the confidence?”
Saying this, Chu Huaian peeled the Sword Spirit from the white light and handed it to Bai Yue.
“Just barely,” Bai Yue said, taking it with a hint of disdain.
The Sword Spirit had been tempered by the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, then devoured tribulation liquid, and had even developed sentience. Its level was already that of a Dao Weapon; all it lacked was a good sword body.
“Hold on for three days, and there will be a chance to turn the tide,” Chu Huaian reminded again.
“The arrow has already been shot, so there’s no turning back. Chu Xiaozi, don’t disappoint me!”
Jing Yuan, holding the Chaos Bell, charged towards Mo Li and the two others.
“Three of you, please, let’s fight in the void.”
“Jing Yuan, you have repeatedly ruined our good deeds. Do not think that with an Imperial Weapon, you can stop us. You are not the only one with an Imperial Weapon!”
Saying this, a small tripod appeared in Mo Li’s hand, but a third of its body was already missing, making it look tattered.
“Oh, oh, you call that an Imperial Weapon? Don’t let it break by accident.”
Jing Yuan scoffed, gently shaking the bell. In an instant, the four of them vanished from their original spot.
With the greatest threat drawn away, Bai Yue didn’t waste any more words. She held the Sword Spirit and charged towards the million cultivators.
A Transformation God Realm cultivator dealing with a group of cultivators who haven’t even reached Yuan Ying Stage, as long as she doesn’t seek death, she almost certainly won’t fail.
Of course, this was a million cultivators; even if their cultivation wasn’t strong, they could still wear Bai Yue down through sheer numbers.
However, to merely hold them off for three days, Bai Yue was confident she could do it.
So, how would Chu Huaian deal with the remaining fifty-plus Yuan Ying Stage cultivators?
The answer was obvious.
Impossible!
He turned to look at Feng Qingyang and the others, smiling as he said, “Everyone, I’m counting on you.”
“Meeting you was my bad luck!” Lin Ting’s face showed annoyance as he walked to his side, holding his flying sword.
Feng Qingyang and the others also showed a wry smile, having no choice but to brace themselves and step forward.
Chu Huaian exchanged for several bottles of pills from the store and distributed them to everyone.
“These are Great Spring Pills and Spirit Dew Pills. They can help you quickly restore your spiritual energy.”
Everyone put the pills into their mouths, their eyes erupting with boundless fighting spirit.
The fifty-plus Yuan Ying Stage cultivators on the other side didn’t know what Chu Huaian was planning.
But the opponent didn’t flee; instead, he actively attacked, which was exactly what they wanted.
“Let’s go, everyone!”
Chu Huaian’s body turned into an afterimage, leading the charge towards the opposite side.
