Chapter 1: Slaying the Three-Headed Beast Again
Even though one Peerless Emperor Level Chaos Soul Beast had already been defeated, if the remaining four attacked together, the city wall would surely be breached.
Because even if Lian Yun and Zhuang Wuxue could hold them off, they wouldn't be able to kill them as they had done before. Over time, there was a possibility of escape, and the personnel from Yaochi would not be able to eliminate all the high-level and top-tier Emperor Level Chaos Beasts.
Essentially, if four Peerless Monarch level Chaos Beasts attacked simultaneously, the city wall would inevitably collapse, leading to disaster for the Disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect within, followed by a massive death toll.
Although Lian Yun believed that Yin Yang City would have some limitations and that such a situation would not truly occur, he could not help but feel concerned about this possibility.
Moreover, as Zhuang Wuxue had pointed out, was there really only five Peerless Emperor Level Chaos Soul Beasts in the approaching Beast Tide?
With this thought in mind, Lian Yun began to merge several Supreme Soul Swords into Wu Tai while recovering. After merging thousands of Supreme Soul Swords, Lian Yun finally stood up and glanced towards the city.
In the Ten Thousand Intermediate Monarchs where Xiao Chengzhong was located, there were still thousands of people in a state of exhaustion.
Seeing this, Lian Yun paused for a moment before addressing Cai Dongsheng and the other core disciples: "Let’s try having five Ten Thousand People together."
Despite all the disciples of Ten Thousand Swords Sect being in awe of Lian Yun, hearing this statement still left many with expressions of disbelief.
Having five Ten Thousand People together—didn’t that mean improving the Ten Thousand Swords Classic to an even higher level?
Though shocked and incredulous, fifty thousand Elementary Kings immediately sprang into action, practicing the Ten Thousand Swords Classic.
However, after nearly half an hour, the five Illusory Greatswords still could not merge together.
Lian Yun felt no frustration; instead, he stepped between the five greatswords and used his mind to evolve and transmit the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, forming a thousand-meter-long Illusory Greatsword. This massive sword was silent yet seemed to possess immense allure, drawing the five greatswords toward it.
To outsiders, it appeared as though the five greatswords were slowly moving closer to the thousand-meter greatsword and gradually merging.
After nearly an hour, the five giant swords finally fused completely with Lian Yun's colossal sword.
Silently, the six giant swords suddenly expanded, forming a nearly ten-thousand-meter-long blade that pierced the sky.
Although the expansion was silent, in that instant, the hearts and minds of nearly everyone in Xianyang City trembled.
The combatants stationed at the other three city walls couldn't help but turn their heads toward the south, gazing at the magnificent and imposing giant sword that loomed even from a distance.
"Damn~~~ how far does this guy intend to go before he stops?!" At the west city gate, the Insect Emperor couldn't help but exclaim in frustration.
He was a solitary Peerless Monarch, and it was somewhat understandable for someone of his stature in Xianyang City to feel this way.
The other two Peerless Monarchs also felt shocked and indignant because they knew that the title of number one in Xianyang City had been taken by someone of a lower rank, a King’s Realm individual no less.
This left them, as Peerless Monarchs, feeling quite helpless.
However, in reality, Lian Yun's current state was far from ideal. The six Greatswords had barely fused; even now, as he exerted all his control over them, he felt as if they could collapse at any moment.
With this in mind, once the six Greatswords fused, Lian Yun didn't hesitate. He immediately swallowed five Mental Potions and then soared into the air with the ten-thousand-meter giant sword.
As the giant sword lifted off the ground, all fifty thousand Disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect members below fell to the ground. A few were in a state of exhaustion, while the remaining forty-nine thousand were unconscious.
But Lian Yun couldn't afford to think about any of that. Controlling the massive sword, he wobbled up to fifteen hundred meters above the battlefield where the Three Major Troops clashed. Then, with great difficulty, he raised his hand and gestured to one side before sweeping it to the other side.
With Lian Yun's movement, the ten-thousand-meter giant sword first rose a bit higher before slowly lying flat. The tip of the sword dipped slightly downward and then swept across all Chaos Beasts within a ten-thousand-meter radius ahead.
As Sword One swept through, it vanished from sight.
At the South City Gate, the battlefield suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Aside from a few Chaos Beasts engaged in battle with the Three Major Troops, there was not a single Chaos Beast in sight.
It was as if Lian Yijian had wiped out the entire High Emperor Beast Tide.
However, what was alarming was that this silence lasted for less than a breath. In the vast open space before Lian Yun, three Chaos Beasts crawled out from below, slowly retreating, while countless more Chaos Beasts surged in from the horizon.
It felt as though the High Emperor Chaos Beast Tide had only just begun.
A sense of despair spread among all the Yaochi Disciples.
Zhuang Wuxue, who had long noticed that something was off with Lian Yun, quickly supported the swaying Lian Yun and retreated. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you feel like you killed an unparalleled Chaos Beast just now?"
"Three..."
With that, Lian Yun closed his eyes, his expression grim. The first reason was the immense exhaustion and injury he had sustained; the second was the number of Peerless Emperor Level Chaos Soul Beasts.
Two were lurking, making a total of seven. The Beast Tide was not over yet; who knew if more would appear later?
And since three had witnessed Lian Yun's strike, they had managed to evade it the first time. There was no doubt they would be even harder to catch off guard a second time.
So even though he had killed four Peerless Monarch level Chaos Beasts and earned at least twenty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins as a reward, Lian Yun felt no joy whatsoever.
The only silver lining was that Lian Yun's strike had intimidated the other three. If they had charged recklessly just now, not only would Lian Yun have been in danger, but Zhuang Wuxue alone would certainly not have been able to hold them off.
Thus, as they retreated, Zhuang Wuxue looked at Lian Yun with lingering fear and said, "Don't use that move again; think of another way."
Although Zhuang Wuxue was the leader of a sect and a Peerless Monarch, at this moment, Lian Yun seemed to be the backbone of the South City Gate.
If anything were to happen to Lian Yun, it would signify that the city wall could not be held.
Lian Yun nodded, remaining silent.
Regarding personal safety and hidden dangers, that last sword strike had only cleared out some soldiers; it would have no further effect.
However, it was somewhat strange that the Three Major Troops, who had seemed devoid of any emotion and solely focused on battle, had several 'individuals' slightly raising their heads.
It was as if they were stealing glances at Lian Yun.
During the brief pause, they were also quickly recovering.
Among them, the Terracotta Army was the fastest. By the time Lian Yun returned to the city wall, they had almost completely restored themselves, just as they had been before the battle, with not a single one missing and no damage at all.
The Ghostly Guard also exhibited good self-recovery abilities, with no decrease in personnel.
Only the Hundred-Meter Robot, with its countless scars on its iron armor, bore witness to the fierce battle that had just taken place here.
