Du Zundao, being pursued, was also enraged and shouted, "Betraying the Holy Sect? Am I colluding with the court or what? Where is the betrayal of the Holy Sect? I just didnât fulfill your wish to make Han Linâer the Sect Hierarch, and youâre putting a hat on my head. Liu Futong, you are truly overbearing."
Liu Futong said, "If you disagree with making Han Linâer the Sect Hierarch, you can tell me. Why did you resort to treachery in secret? Yet you say you havenât betrayed the Holy Sect."
Du Zundao said, "Tell you? Does that work? Will you listen?"
"Enough nonsense, today you must stay here for me."
Liu Futong chased Du Zundao, while Du Zundao fled in panic. He couldnât beat Liu Futong. Although both were in the Melt God Realm, who was in the Fifth Transformation?
Du Zundao was only in the Zero Transformation, while Liu Futong was a Third-transform strong person, one who could make it onto the Heavenly List.
Compared to him, Du Zundao was insignificant.
Du Zundao naturally knew the gap between the two, and at this moment dared not let his guard down in any way against Liu Futong; upon seeing him, he ran. His movements were as smooth as silk, vanishing in a puff.
Watching Du Zundao disappear in a puff, Liu Futong ground his teeth, determined to catch him today no matter what.
The two of them just like that, one chasing, the other running, and they disappeared from everyoneâs sight in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone watching as they vanished.
For a moment, no one knew what to do. Chen Long and Mei Tu approached Chen Jie and said, "Young hero, what should we do next?"
Chen Jie said, "Wait."
Upon hearing this, Chen Long and Mei Tu fell silent, simply waiting in the courtyard.
Just as everyone was waiting, suddenly a loud boom echoed, followed by the ground shaking as if the mountains were moving. Everyone was startled and collectively looked toward the direction of the Six Passes at the foot of the mountainâoh no, the courtâs army was attacking the fortress!
Everyone was shocked, holding their breath; indeed, the noise clearly indicated the courtâs army was attacking the fortress.
At this time, everyone had a serious look on their face. If the Bright Peak were to fall during the courtâs attack on the mountain, there would be nothing good in it for them either. This time, the court was serious, having brought three Heavenly List experts. Moreover, the previous calm had suddenly erupted into such a commotionâno doubt, experts were in action.
Their predictions were correctâexperts were indeed in action. At this moment, the confrontation between the two armies had reached a fever pitch at the foot of the mountain.
The courtâs army surged forth like a tide, while the Zoroastrian Sect deployed all their techniques, with the Five Elements FlagâGold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earthâall exerting their full power.
The Fiery Fire Flagâs kerosene and the Flood Flagâs Corpse Dissolving Water were both pushed to their limits.
This caused substantial casualties to the enemy; the Giant Wood Flagâs brutal fighting and the Sharp Gold Flagâs Hundred-step Piercing were unleashed fully, with arrows raining down like a storm.
The Grey Wolf, White Deer, and Treasure Elephant armies also suffered heavy casualties, as both sides engaged in a brutal battle under the Bright Peak.
The Grey Wolf Army, White Deer Army, and Treasure Elephant Army relied on their numbers, while the Five Elements Flag relied on the advantage of terrain, with both sides attacking and defending brutally, both suffering heavy casualties.
Seeing the severe casualties, the leaders of the three major troops could no longer sit still.
The first to act was the White Deer Armyâs leader, Ruyang King, Chaghan Timur. Seeing the heavy casualties of the White Deer Army made Chaghan Timurâs heart ache, so he leaped into the sky and descended directly into the crowd with a boom.
With a loud boom, Chaghan Timur unleashed his full power, his strength formidable, letting out a roar and striking the ground with a blow that made the earth shake.
He then swung his machete with a sweeping motion, whipping up a whirlwind that sent all the nearby Zoroastrian Sect disciples flying.
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
Screams echoed unceasingly. Witnessing this scene in battle made everyone jump in shock, their eyes wide. Someone exclaimed, "No, itâs bad, Ruyang King, Chaghan Timur has entered the battle!"
At this time, Ruyang King, wielding a machete, stood at the forefront, with nobody able to oppose him. Seeing this, everyone squinted their eyes in alarm, knowing they couldnât withstand a Heavenly List expert in action.
At this time, in charge of the three passes, Mr. Duozhi Huguan was also filled with shock. He hadnât expected Ruyang King to join the battle so early; such presences were usually reserved as a last resort, used to decide the outcome.
Ruyang King charged into the crowd, his machete sweeping all before him, as if cutting through vegetables, with no one able to withstand even one move of his.
At this point in the battle, King Qi Li Siqi, with his arms crossed, said, "Chaghan still has such a hot temper, impatient even in trivial matters."
Hearing King Qiâs words, Boluo Timur of the Treasure Elephant Army said, "Chaghan is just like that, but it seems the Bright Peak is quite defenseless, with no one coming out to resist Chaghan. Where is Liu Futong?"
King Qi also frowned and said, "Indeed, strange, strange."
The two of them thought while looking at the mountain top; at this moment, even if Liu Futong didnât appear, Du Zundao should have.
Mr. Duozhi Huguan as a strategist isnât fit for charging into battle, but one of Du Zundao or Liu Futong should come out to stop Chaghan Timur from charging like itâs a no manâs land.
As King Qi thought this, on the observation platform, Mr. Duozhi Fox was also full of worry. The Holy Sect was weakening, and now with the enemy coming, we have no means of resistance. How did the Holy Sect come to be so desolate?
Mr. Guan sighed and immediately said, "Retreat!"
