Chapter 578 The decisive battle is coming
The night spreads in all directions like a black tapestry, blocking the blue sky and white clouds at noon, covering the entire Luojing city.
Only the soldiers standing at the turret can capture the faint light coming from the edge of the black night in the distant sky -
The distant mountains, illuminated by the sun, Still towering, shining brightly, like golden lace inlaid on the edge of black tapestry.
The residents in the city had already been frightened by the sudden darkness. The originally bustling and bustling streets were now dead silent, with only a few frightened screams and panicked running sounds occasionally heard.
The children were so frightened by this sight that they howled and hugged their parents tightly, their tears glistening faintly in the darkness. Although the parents were also frightened, they could only pretend to be calm and try their best to calm their children's emotions. However, the fear in their own hearts could not be concealed, and it was revealed in their trembling hands and voices.
At the same time, the officials in the major government offices were also in chaos. Their former majesty was gone now, replaced by panic and confusion on their faces.
Although they all knew that one day, Gu Xu would launch an attack on Luo Jing City.
But I never really expected that this day would come so quickly and unexpectedly.
Before everyone in the city recovered from the shock and figured out what the black sky covering them was, changes occurred at the city gates in the east, south and west directions of Luo Jing.
The space began to distort violently, and three unpredictable space passages appeared out of thin air, followed by a large number of practitioners pouring out of the passages like a flood.
These practitioners are armed with a variety of weapons. Some swords are flashing with light and cold, and some are heavy with shadows and terrifying.
Under the command of the leader, these practitioners quickly formed an array, and their movements were uniform, like clouds and flowing water.
Accompanied by the low and powerful spells, their true energy gathered into powerful energy waves, launching a unified and orderly fierce attack on the city gate.
The decisive battle begins.
The defenders on the Luojing city wall also responded quickly. They urgently summoned practitioners and quickly launched a counterattack using the magic weapons and defensive formations on the city wall.
Countless colorful beams of light streak across the sky, like dazzling meteors, criss-crossing in a dreamlike manner.
This low night sky seems to have become a vast picture scroll, in which all kinds of magic are being swayed, like colorful paint flowing out of the hands of a painter, smearing it wantonly.
Soon, a layer of pale golden light emerged from the surface of the Luojing city wall.
It is as if the dawn of the eastern sky is drawn here by a mysterious force, covering the city wall with a bright armor.
A huge shield slowly formed above the city wall. It was like a translucent bubble, but tougher than any substance.
The spells and talismans flying from all directions were like a dense meteor shower. They hit the shield hard with the sound of howling wind and strong energy fluctuations. Every impact caused a circle of ripples, like stones thrown into the water, but these ripples quickly dissipated and failed to shake the shield at all.
Occasionally, spells pass through the shield, but their power is obviously greatly weakened. Just like a tiger losing its claws, it becomes docile and powerless.
“It seems that I still need to take action.”
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and flew out of the queue of monks.
She stood suspended in the air, her red dress dancing like flames, and like the last ray of sunset on the horizon. It was in sharp contrast with her skin as white as snow, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
A pair of burning phoenix wings suddenly spread out behind her, and the blazing flames seemed to ignite the sky, releasing a strong pressure that shook the surrounding air.
At this time, what she was holding in her hand was not her famous magic weapon "Yizhangwei", but the famous weapon passed down from generation to generation by the Zhao family in Youzhou - "Jade Horse Whip".
The whole body of this whip is as dark as ink, and only the jade handle glows with a lustrous luster. If people are used to compare the twelve famous weapons of the wilderness, then "Tai'a Sword" is like the king who rules the country, and "Jinghong Pen" is like a talented poet.
The "Jade Horse Whip" is a general galloping on the battlefield.
One of its functions is to gather the morale of one's own army and integrate it into the user's meridians, greatly enhancing the strength of his true energy.
Zhao Yan has been practicing with Gu Xu nightly recently, and her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and she is already approaching the peak of the sixth realm. Now with the blessing of bloodline power and "Jade Horse Whip", even if he meets an ordinary saint, he can still compete with him.
Luo Jing's defensive formation seems powerful.
But Zhao Yan knew that Gu Xu had used the "Zhou Tianxing Formation" to isolate it from the "Dragon Formation", greatly weakening its power and preventing it from receiving energy supplies in time.
As Zhao Yan gently waved the "Jade Horse Whip" forward, a burst of hot energy suddenly surged in the air. This energy was like a ignited flame, quickly gathering and rising, and finally transformed into the form of a phoenix.
It let out a clear and melodious phoenix cry, the sound shook the sky, and then with lightning speed, it slammed into the protective shield of Luojing city wall.
Like a meteorite, it hit the ground hard.
The shield trembled violently, and ripples suddenly appeared on the surface, and then the cracks spread quickly like a spider web.
With a deafening loud noise, it completely broke into countless fragments, splashed everywhere, and turned into streams of light that dissipated in the air.
"Follow me into the city!" She raised her whip high and shouted to the army behind her.
…………
Gu Xu and the “Five Saints” under his command have already torn apart space and arrived in Luojing City.
Due to the strong restrictions in the Zichen Palace, they were unable to teleport or fly directly to Emperor Tianxing's palace. They could only walk along the deserted Tianjie to the gate of Zichen Palace.
No one dared to step forward to stop them.
As long as Emperor Tianxing doesn't take action, they are invincible existences in the world.
Occasionally, officials hurriedly walked through Tianjie. As soon as they noticed the suffocating atmosphere in front of them, they immediately changed their route carefully and stayed away from them.
These officials are all very silent, fearing that any of their actions may accidentally attract the attention of these experts, thus causing undue disaster.
There were also some bold civilians who looked at them with bated breath through their windows, with a mixture of awe and uneasiness in their eyes.
At this moment, the person with the most complicated mood is none other than Zhao Changying.
A few months ago, he accompanied the Ghost King of Mang Mountain, armed with a spear, and walked along the same Heavenly Street to Zichen Palace to demand repayment of his blood debt from Emperor Tianxing.
It’s a pity that we returned in defeat.
If Luo Chuan hadn't secretly rescued him, he might have died.
