Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16414
Chapter 16412. Battle
That night, at the first quarter of Hai hour (9:15 PM), it was pitch black and moonless. Although cultivators all possessed spiritual power and could see their surroundings clearly, such a night still greatly affected them. After all, cultivators were human; they still needed to see with their eyes, and using spiritual power was never as convenient as using their eyes.
General Li sat in his room, glancing around. There wasn’t much furniture, which was normal. After all, it was just an ordinary base, and a newly built one at that. They wouldn’t necessarily be stationed here for long, so it was understandable that his room wasn’t well-stocked.
After confirming that even if someone from the Divine Kingdom saw his room, they wouldn’t find anything amiss, he felt relieved. He quietly awaited the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attack, believing it was imminent.
Sure enough, just as he thought of this, a huge alarm sounded from the base. This alarm was emitted by a special warning artifact, not an ordinary one. Their base hadn’t yet built any magic arrays; after all, time had been too short, and even teleportation arrays hadn’t been built in time.
Upon hearing this, General Li immediately led the people in the base to prepare for battle. He went straight to his command room. As soon as he entered, a disciple rushed in, saying, “General, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s Creation Golden Wheel has used earth-based magic to break through the muddy ground. The first five levels of our base have been breached!” General
Li nodded and then said, “Order the hunting teams to attack their Creation Golden Wheel.”
The disciple responded and immediately went to relay the order. General Li stayed in the command room, waiting for news from outside. A moment later, the disciple rushed in again, his face extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, “General Li, something bad has happened! The Blood Slaughter Sect also has a sect-protecting…” “Our hunting team is entangled with their treasure-level magical artifacts. Now, a large number of Kingdom-level experts from the Blood Slaughter Sect have stormed into the base. Our Kingdom-level experts here can’t withstand their attack; they’ve already set up that illusion array and earth-solidification technique.”
General Li’s face turned extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, “Everyone, go out and fight! We’ll fight the enemy to the death!” He then left the command room. The others in the command room were stunned upon hearing General Li’s words, then their expressions changed drastically. They all understood what General Li meant. His words indicated that they had no other choice but to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the death.
However, they didn’t hesitate. They all followed General Li and rushed out. They knew the time to fight to the death had come. Even General Li was fighting desperately; what reason did they have not to fight?
Meanwhile, those in the other bases of the Divine Kingdom also witnessed the battle. Their commanders saw the attacked bases, and some, upon seeing General Li’s base under attack, immediately panicked, fearing for his safety. They dispatched reinforcements immediately. However,
when they approached within twenty miles of General Li’s base, they suddenly lost sight of it. They seemed to have suddenly entered a forest, filled with tall trees and nothing else.
They immediately realized they had fallen into an illusionary formation, their faces turning grim. But this wasn’t the end. The trees began attacking them, transforming into giants who swung their arms and charged towards the Divine Kingdom’s cultivators.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators from the divine kingdoms all paled. They immediately attacked the tree-men with their magical artifacts, but they discovered that the tree-men were all illusions, all fake. This made their expressions extremely grim.
They all knew very well that although the illusions were fake, they had to attack them, because they didn’t know if any of the illusions were real. If even one of the illusions was real, they would be in danger if they didn’t block it.
On the other side, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s cultivators using their sect’s most treasured magical artifacts were also engaged in battle with the divine kingdom’s cultivators using their sect’s most treasured magical artifacts. The two sides exchanged blows, fighting fiercely.
The divine kingdom’s most treasured magical artifact was a very uniquely shaped longsword, over four feet long, with a large curved blade, a long hilt, and a wide blade—clearly a weapon highly suited for slashing. The longsword was engraved with elephant patterns, and the person wielding it was a tall and strong cultivator. Each swing of the sword caused the surrounding space to tremble. If this magical weapon were to actually strike a cultivator, that cultivator would likely be instantly reduced to a cloud of blood mist.
The Blood Slaughter Sect cultivator fighting him wielded a spear. This spear was unusual; it was a double-headed snake spear, meaning it had points at both ends. The attack method of this type of spear was very special; the shaft generally possessed great elasticity, making it extremely powerful.
These two magical artifacts, though of high grade, were primarily melee weapons. Of course, they could also attack from a distance, unleashing blade energy and spear force. When using the longsword for ranged attacks, each swing produced a blade energy the size of a giant elephant, striking directly at the enemy. The spear’s energy was a two-headed snake. However, ranged attacks weren’t their strongest point; their greatest strength lay in melee combat.
The two sides clashed, one powerful and heavy, the other agile and unpredictable, neither able to gain the upper hand.
The cultivator from the divine kingdom, while fighting, kept a close watch on his surroundings. When he realized they had been fighting for so long without reinforcements, his heart sank. He knew perfectly well that the lack of reinforcements meant the enemy was blocking them, and if they couldn’t break out, they would be in grave danger.
However, his distraction while fighting the Blood Slaughter Sect members was suicidal. The next moment, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple’s double-headed spear trembled violently, transforming into a sky full of spear shadows, each seemingly a snake lunging at him.
The cultivator from the Divine Kingdom’s expression changed. He swung his longsword, slashing forward without paying attention to the snakes. He knew perfectly well that most of them were illusions, not the real spear; there was only one real spear.
Sure enough, a loud clang rang out as his longsword struck the spear tip, and the spear’s illusion vanished instantly.
Just as the cultivator felt a surge of joy, the tip of another spear appeared before him. This attack was so sudden that he had no time to react before the spear was already in front of him, piercing his neck.
He stared in disbelief at the Blood Slaughter Sect cultivator, only now realizing how the cultivator had attacked him. The cultivator didn’t have a second spear; instead, he had bent the spear shaft into a bow shape, using the other spearhead to strike him, piercing his neck.
After killing the cultivator from the Divine Kingdom, the Blood Slaughter Sect elder flicked his hand, and a rune flew into the cultivator’s body. The cultivator froze, then his wounds vanished. The Blood Slaughter Sect elder then quickly sheathed his longsword, only briefly before drawing it again. The cultivator from the Divine Kingdom had recovered.
The Blood Slaughter Sect elder immediately shoved the longsword back into his hand. Then he said to the cultivator from the Divine Kingdom, “General Li will fly out in a moment and be killed in front of you. After you see General Li killed, immediately use the longsword to break through the illusion array here and leave with your men. Of course, those men are not our people. After you get out, tell the people in the other bases that General Li has died in battle. This is a teleportation array, I’m giving it to you. After you go back, you’ll be safe. Then use this teleportation array to return to the sect and collect the sect’s benefits.”
The cultivator from the Divine Kingdom responded, and the next moment, General Li led his men out of the underground base. There were many of them, all of them kingdom-level experts. The Blood Slaughter Sect elder, who was using a sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon, was now fighting the kingdom-level expert who was also using a sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon. It seemed that the two were evenly matched.
Suddenly, a large number of Blood Slaughter Sect cultivators rushed out and blocked General Li’s path. General Li shouted, “You all go first, I’ll cover your retreat! Go quickly!” He then shouted to the Kingdom-level expert wielding a longsword, “Go quickly!”
The Kingdom-level expert used his longsword to launch several attacks, forcing back the Blood Slaughter Sect elder, and then charged towards General Li. General Li was now surrounded by the Blood Slaughter Sect’s Kingdom-level experts. Even so, General Li still shouted, “Go! Break through!” The Kingdom-level experts behind him all rushed towards the one wielding the longsword.
The Kingdom-level expert with the longsword glanced at General Li, then turned around and swung his sword fiercely into the void. With this swing, a giant elephant charged forward. The cultivator shouted, “Let’s go!” and charged forward, followed by the other Kingdom-level experts.
At this moment, the cultivator from the Blood Slaughter Sect wielding the double-headed spear charged forward once again, while the cultivator from the Divine Kingdom, his eyes bloodshot with rage, roared, “Those who block my way shall die!” With that, he slashed forward with his sword.
