Surging Demonic Auras pervaded the void, overwhelming the sky and the sun. Like a swarm of locusts, numerous Precious Weapons and warships of the Demon Clan had appeared in the sky above Tianyuan City. The accumulating Demonic Auras they emitted covered the sky. Like low-lying demonic clouds, they filled the place with silent murderous malice.
Tianyuan City had been besieged for an entire month.
The powerful figures of the Demon Clan had set up a formation around the city and isolated the space gate. No one could teleport himself to and from the city, and they could not get reinforcements. The humans in the city were like turtles trapped in a jar and could only fight to the death.
At first, the Human Clan had the upper hand. They even launched several counterattacks, defeating the demon army. But as more and more low-level demons and many large Demon Tribes joined the battle, their numbers increased several times. The strength of the Human Clan was constantly being depleted, and they soon fell into a disadvantage.
And today, Tianyuan City was almost at the end of its tether.
All the mysterious crystals and energy reserves in the city had been used up, and more than half of their masters above the Primordial Realm had been killed in this war of attrition. The City Defensive Array was about to be breached, and the last pale yellow light shield in the sky was at stake. As the Demon Clan continuously bombarded the shield, it let out mournful cries, as if about to shatter anytime.
In the sky, demons were raging everywhere.
“Haha, kill them. They can’t hold on much longer. Let’s charge into Tianyuan City and raid it randomly for ten days!”
“The City Defensive Array is about to be destroyed. The first to charge into the city can have the Four Emperor-level Saberwomen of the Saber-drawing Sect. Haha, they’re alleged to be peerless female experts of the Human Clan. Haha, it must be exciting raping them!”
“Kill your way into Tianyuan City and destroy the Saber-drawing Sect. Let’s divide their treasures!”
Hoarse cries and evil laughter of every kind resounded in the sky. The entire Tianyuan City trembled under the power of the Demon Clan.
At the foot of the fortress at the main entrance of Tianyuan City:
Hundreds of human experts had gathered around a trembling gray-haired old woman.
The old woman’s swarthy face was full of wrinkles, and she was no more than a bag of bones. Her yellowed teeth were almost all gone. Her eyes were blank and lusterless, and her hair was messy and sparse. She looked like a zombie who had just died and crawled out of a coffin, her breathing so shallow that even a gust of wind seemed likely to blow her away.
In front of the old woman was a giant war saber that was taller than her. Its blade was sunken half a yard into the ground, shimmering bright and reflecting chilling rays that illuminated the surroundings.
Behind the old woman stood four brave female saber warriors dressed in snowy-white clothes. All of them were great beauties. They had gleaming white teeth and were graceful and dignified. They looked no more than 30, but their powerful auras were already at the Martial Grand Emperor Realm.
The other human experts were from the major and minor sects of Tianyuan City. Right now, they were looking pale and ghastly. Most of them were injured.
“Saber Mistress, we can’t defend Tianyuan City any longer. You’re an absolute superior at the Sage Realm, one of the few who can really fight the Demon Clan. You can’t just die here! Why don’t you take the best disciples of the Saber-drawing Sect and run? As long as you keep yourself alive, there’ll be a chance for revenge after a comeback!” A middle-aged man said.
“That’s right. The Demon Clan has besieged us for more than a month. We have used up too much power, and the space gate cannot be opened… Alas, there’s no way we can escape. You don’t have to bother about us anymore, Saber Mistress, or no one can leave!” Another middle-aged man spoke in support of him.
“Yes, Saber Mistress, you’re Tianyuan City’s only hope for revenge. Leave now!”
A tall, scrawny middle-aged man with triangular eyes said agitatedly, “Saber Mistress, I, Huang Yuansheng, used to be unruly and violent. I have a bad reputation in Tianyuan City and have offended these sisters of the Saber-drawing Sect many times. Yet you saved my life… Although I’m no kind soul, I’m someone who will definitely repay kindness. Let me and my brothers from the Blood Saber Sect hold the demons back. Saber Mistress, please leave now!”
“Haha, Mad Dog Huang, for once you spoke like a man. I’ve always looked down on people like you, but this time, I have to give you a thumbs-up.” A burly man laughed loudly. He was injured. He turned to the old woman and added, “Saber Mistress, you have to make a quick decision, or everyone will suffer. Tianyuan City can’t hold on much longer. You must leave now!”
The eyes of everyone gathered on the old woman.
The old woman shook her head gently, stretched out her wrinkled and shriveled hand, and gently stroked the Autumn Water Saber in front of her. She seemed to have lapsed into some kind of reminiscence. She whispered, “The world is in chaos, and the Land of the Divine is now a battlefield. Where can we flee to? As warriors, we should protect the civilians. Ever since I took over the Saber-drawing Sect, I have never once retreated from battles. So I can’t run today either!”
“But…”
“Saber Mistress…”
Everyone became frantic, wanting to dissuade her again.
The old woman waved her hand gently and said in a resolute voice, “You don’t have to talk me out of this. I have already made up my mind to die with Tianyuan City. Warriors should only die on battlefields! Although everyone in the Saber-drawing Sect is a woman, we aren’t inferior to men!”
Seeing that she had made up her mind, they decided not to dissuade her.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of violent explosions rang out overhead, followed by tremors in space. Shocking web-like cracks appeared on the light shield of the city. This formation, which had held on for more than a month, couldn’t resist any longer. It was about to shatter!
Once the formation was breached, the Demon Clan would come flooding in. Then, Tianyuan City would be doomed.
“Everyone, it’s the final moment. Come and fight with me!” An astounding light suddenly shot out of the old woman’s lusterless eyes. She suddenly straightened her arched, trembling back. Indescribable power burst out from her thin and frail body.
The power of the Sage Realm erupted out of this frail old woman’s body.
A strange thing happened. The old woman’s unkempt and sparse long hair suddenly turned visibly dark and thick. The wrinkles on her face disappeared, and her skin became lustrous. Her body seemed to have turned back time, reverting her to the days of her youth.
In the blink of an eye, this gray-haired old woman had turned into a beautiful young woman.
Swoosh!
She raised her hand and pulled out the Autumn Water Saber in front of her. The giant blade in her hand was like a stalk of grass. She held it horizontally across her chest, looking like a powerful and lovely Goddess of War.
She had used a secret method to activate the last potential within her body, adjusting it to the peak level, preparing herself for the final battle.
The four beautiful Emperor-level Saberwomen beside her also unsheathed their weapons.
“Hahahaha, d*mn the Demon Clan. Come on!” Someone shouted, laughing maniacally.
The hundreds of experts who had appeared at the city fortress today were the elite warriors of Tianyuan City. They were the nobility of the city and had huge power. They had had many conflicts with each other, battling fiercely for local resources. Yet in face of a common enemy, they were united. After all, they were members of the same clan. Dismissing their past grudges, they were now fighting side by side!
In the sky, countless demon experts were madly attacking that crack in the City Defensive Array. Soon, the light shield would shatter!
“Saber Mistress, let me spearhead the attack, hahaha!”
The lanky, triangular-eyed middle-aged man flashed and was about to soar into the sky to die with the Demon Clan.
But at this moment—
“Huh? No, wait a minute. The rearguard of the demon army seems to be in chaos…” The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect suddenly saw something. She raised her lovely hand and used her power to pull back the middle-aged man.
When everyone heard this, they started to perk up.
Gazing up, they found that the rearguard of the dense demon army was indeed in some sort of mayhem. Immense sword radiance had soared up into the sky like a divine blade, wreaking havoc there.
The powerful Qi fluctuations were like tides. Countless demon experts fell to the ground like dumplings!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A stream of teal light flashed across the sky like lightning. Wherever it passed, big warships of the Demon Clan would explode. Their formation was suddenly thrown into disarray.
“What a powerful force! What a terrible and imposing aura!”
The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect could not help sighing in admiration.
“Could our reinforcements have arrived?” Someone exclaimed in delight.
“I don’t think so.” The Saber Mistress’s eyes shone with divine light. She carefully observed for a while and added, “There are only two people attacking the rearguard of the Demon Clan.”
“Two?”
“Only two…?”
“What can two people do?”
The hope that had just arisen in everyone’s hearts began to fade again. The demon army besieging the city was like a boundless tide. What havoc could just two people wreak?
A smile appeared on the Saber Mistress’s lips. She instantly regained her youthful demeanor, exuding a mature charm. She smiled. “These two are no ordinary masters. There’s hope for Tianyuan City! Come with me, everyone. Don’t let our friends fight these demons alone!”
Before her voice died away, she had dragged the Autumn Water Saber like a bolt of cold lightning and soared up into the sky, attacking the demon camp in the sky.
“Charge!”
The four beautiful female saber warriors also attacked.
“This is a battle of life and death. I promise to treat everyone who survives this to a drink!”
The burly man laughed and turned into a stream of light, charging toward the demon camp.
On the gate tower in front of Tianyuan City, beams of Qi flames rose into the sky like moths flying to a fire. They rushed fearlessly toward the demon army that was many hundred times more numerous than them.
“Haha, great! The masters of Tianyuan City have launched their attacks!” In the sky, Uncle Tianshu raised his black pot, smashing a Demon Royal into meat pie. He laughed heartily. “Lad, we’ve finally seen living people today. Let’s kill to our heart’s content!”
Uncle Tianshu was displaying a little of his heroic spirit.
Riding on the white tigress, he charged into the battlefield.
