Chapter 584: Life and Death inside the Formation

Duanmu Sheng was delighted to hear his master’s order. He said, “Understood. I’ll inform the others at once.”

Soon after, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s disciples in the four pavilions on Golden Court Mountain received Lu Zhou’s order from Duanmu Sheng.

Inside the southern pavilion, apart from Hua Wudao, the three elders sighed.

“Under the heavens, it has always been the elderly who protect the young ones…”

“That child, Yu Zhenghai, he’s always making the pavilion master worry…”

“He’s the master of the greatest Fiend Path sect under the heavens… What do both of you think if he comes back?”

Meanwhile, the Evil Sky Pavilion disciples rushed toward the northern pavilion as soon as they heard the order.

Soon enough, the cloud-splitting chariot left the Evil Sky Pavilion.

After a day and night of fighting, the battle between the Nether Sect and the Imperial guard was dying down.

The lack of Primal Qi and the stifling air due to the Ten Terminal Formation caused everyone to feel more and more suffocated. The high temperature made the Divine Capital feel like a furnace.

Many people were already numbed to their mixture of blood and sweat

Yu Zhenghai stood with his hands on his back, from the beginning until now, as he stared at Liu Gu, who was standing on the dragon chariot, in the distance.

The clashing of weapons, the sounds of killing, and the shouts seemed as though they would never end.

Yu Zhenghai briefly swept his eyes around his surroundings; a slight frown appeared on his face.

Si Wuya had always been by Yu Zhenghai’s side so the minute change in Yu Zhenghai’s expression did not escape his notice. He said in a hushed voice, “Don’t worry, Eldest Senior Brother. Our members who are fighting are mainly Body Tempering cultivators. None of our high-rank cultivators have made a move yet. I told them to lie in wait at the rear. The Imperial guards will only fall into a disadvantageous position if this continues… We can’t avoid casualties during a war, Eldest Senior Brother. You must steel your heart!”

Yu Zhenghai nodded. He shifted his eyes and looked ahead.

Si Wuya continued to say, “The only ones we have to guard against now are hidden cultivators inside the city who are on the fence. They might be looking for an opening to take advantage of the situation.”

“Vermin!” Yu Zhenghai spat. He said, “Wait till I cut Liu Gu down! I’ll kill all of them in one fell swoop!”

“Eldest Senior Brother, you only need to deal with Liu Gu and Wang Yue. I’ll deal with the others.”

“Alright.”

Of the Imperial guard’s eight great generals, only Wang Yue, the southern gate’s garrison general, was left. He was known for his cunning personality, and he preferred to hide in the dark and launch sneak attacks.

Si Wuya had been trying to locate Wang Yue since the Ten Terminal Formation had been activated. Unfortunately, Wang Yue still had not shown his face up until now.was activated.

Whizz!

The barrier in the sky darkened at this moment.

Si Wuya looked up and said, “This is when it’s the hardest inside the Ten Terminal Formation! Take down the Imperial guard at this hour!”

Yu Zhenghai wielded his Jasper Saber and looked up before charging toward the dragon chariot.

Several armored Imperial guards tried to stop Yu Zhenghai, but he slashed with saber out without any hesitation or expression on his face.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The blade drew across the soldiers’ armors, the armor instantly fell apart!

If one were to compare who made the most preparations for a fight in the Ten Terminal Formation, the answer would undoubtedly be Yu Zhenghai. His clean and thorough method of killing was the perfect manifestation of this. Every single swing of his sword was the result of countless training hours.

“Charge! Take down the Imperial city within the hour!”

The remaining tens of thousands of Nether Sect members swarmed forward.

Whizz!

The curtain-like barrier in the sky dropped. The air grew even more stifling.

“Stop them! You’re my finest warriors!” Liu Gu waved his hand.

The Imperial guard charged forward as well.

Whizz!

The gravity seemed to amplify in this instant!

The Imperial guards on horseback fell off their steeds.

Neigh!

The warhorses fell to their knees.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The rock on the ground cracked.

“Remove your armor! Everyone! Remove your armor!”

Liu Gu’s gaze was as sharp as a falcon’s. He looked at Si Wuya and said, “You know about the Ten Terminal Formation?”

Apart from keeping Primal Qi out, the Ten Terminal Formation’s other effects occurred at random. The temperature could be freezing cold or scorching hot. There could also be a tempestuous wind capable of killing.

After gravity was amplified, most of the soldiers with lesser physique and willpower sat limply on the ground after fighting for a long time. They were drenched in sweat as they sat panting on the ground.

Among the Nether Sect members, several muscular individuals dressed in a simple attire sauntered toward the Imperial guards with their blades in their hands.

“How could this be?!”

Si Wuya said, pleased and satisfied, “We’ve prepared this just for you… Kill them!”

The muscular individuals’ movements were slow. However, it was enough to deal with the immobilized soldiers. Every single swing of their blades claimed a life. The place looked like an execution ground at this moment!

Yu Zhenghai looked at the dragon chariot and made his way over with resounding footsteps.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In just a moment, Yu Zhenghai stood in front of the dragon chariot. He wielded the saber with both hands before bringing it down on the dragon chariot.

Dong!

The dragon chariot shook when the saber landed on it.

Yu Zhenghai focused his attention and brought his saber down again!

Dong!

“Well, I guess I’ll have to fight you to the death!” Liu Gu turned around and drew a sword from his bodyguard before leaping off the chariot onto the ground.

Boom!

The stone slabs on the ground within dozens of meters cracked. Liu Gu’s feet were planted in two deep pits.

Yu Zhenghai raised his saber and pointed at Liu Gu. “Very good!” As soon as he finished speaking, he charged forward. Without his cultivation base, Primal Qi, and under the influence of the amplified gravity, there was no room for graceful or majestic movements. All they could rely on were brute force and techniques!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Yu Zhenghai swung his saber.

Liu Gu showed no weakness.

The two of them fought fiercely.

Si Wuya was slightly shocked. “The ruler of an empire has such physical strength?” He surveyed his surroundings.

Apart from a few Nether Sect members who could kill while swinging their blades, the others were sitting limply on the ground and could not move. The majority of the Imperial guards wore armor and could hardly move as well. When they finally removed their armor, they were already killed by the others! However, Liu Gu could move just as Yu Zhenghai did!

Bam!

Liu Gu gripped his sword with both hands and swept out.

Yu Zhenghai parried it with his saber. He took two steps backward before he swung it again!

After several rounds, both opponents’ faces were drenched with sweat.

Their eyes were trained on each other!

“Wuqians are born with courage and strength. There’s no need to be startled by this, wise brother,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“I’ll help you!” Si Wuya tried to take a step forward. At this moment, he discovered his legs had turned extremely heavy. Cultivators who had not undergone the Body Tempering stage would be killed by the gravity in the Ten Terminal Formation!

“There’s no need to help me… I want to end Liu Gu with my own hands!” Yu Zhenghai said.

Liu Gu said, “We’ll see about that.”

Swoosh!

Liu Gu suddenly moved swiftly with his sword.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Yu Zhenghai parried with his saber. He kept retreating. His arms became numb due to the impact.

The two opponents continued to exchange blows.

Dozens of rounds ended in just a blink of an eye.

Bam!

Sword and saber collided.

Both opponents retreated.

Their faces glistened with sweat as they stared at each other.

Yu Zhenghai calmly said, “You’ve lost… Your Imperial guards are almost completely destroyed by me. Even if you have the Formation, you’re no match for me. Ping An, I told you that I want to behead you, didn’t I?”

Swoosh!

Yu Zhenghai pointed at Liu Gu with his Jasper Saber.

Liu Gu chuckled and said in a low voice, “If I can kill you once, I can kill you again…”

At this moment, the curtain-like barrier seemed to change again.

Whizz!

The Formation shifted. The pull of gravity vanished completely.

Si Wuya immediately cried out, “Hold on to each other in small groups!”

Liu Gu nodded in satisfaction. He pushed away from the ground and moved as lightly as a swallow, slashing his sword at Yu Zhenghai.

There were no Primal Qi and cultivation base. This was purely the effect from the lack of gravity. Everyone was as light as feather at this moment.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Liu Gu attacked with his sword thrice.

Yu Zhenghai stomped his feet on the ground and leaped ten meters up into the air.
