Chapter 2338 - 2337: Siege of Phoenix City!
And at that moment, as Mu Shenling and the elder had not yet appeared, the Dark Sorcerer Supreme and Wind Bell Battle Sovereign had not yet brought out their Immortal Artifacts, and even the Destruction Empress and Yin-Yang Blade Saint had not shown up, merely the people from the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects planned to attack Xuanyuan Qiong and the others with a surrounding formation...
Phoenix City, Phoenix Sect.
A figure in white stood atop the city walls, gazing at the rolling smoke and overwhelming dust in the distance, his eyes, deep as the stars, gradually narrowing.
He was not merely Su Han, who had lived for hundreds of years, but also Su Han, who had lived for billions of years!
He had calculated everything. As for the so-called plans of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, he had already seen through them and made the most thorough preparations.
He knew that there might be some casualties on Xuanyuan Qiong’s side, which was inevitable.
However, under such casualties, at least people like Xuanyuan Qiong, Xuanyuan Shengyi, and Shen Li, the high ranks of the Phoenix Sect, would definitely be safe.
If something really happened to them, why would Su Han have asked Mu Shenling for help in the first place?
The outcome on Xuanyuan Qiong’s side was unknown to Su Han; what kind of powerhouses Mu Shenling had invited, Su Han also did not know.
At this moment, he was only concerned with Phoenix City here.
Looking out, one could see countless figures, far more numerous than those on Xuanyuan Qiong’s side.
They advanced rapidly, with a momentum that shook the heavens, and a series of pressures surged like a dragon into the void, unconsciously converging into a storm, like a giant mouth, ready to swallow the entire Phoenix City.
Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses did not appear.
Sub-Immortal Level powerhouses were also hidden somewhere.
Though he couldn’t see them, Su Han knew they had definitely come and were hidden among these people or in the void!
"Hmph, such a grand formation!"
Xiang’er, appearing beside Su Han at some unknown time, looked at the swarm of figures in the distance and let out a cold snort.
"This time, they want to completely destroy the Phoenix Sect. They even brought out Immortal Artifacts. How could this formation be small?" Su Han chuckled lightly.
"Brother, are you really confident in dealing with them?"
Xiang’er glanced at Su Han, speaking worriedly, "I know you’ve already refined an Immortal Artifact, but they also have Immortal Artifacts. Moreover, those who control them among their ranks are Sub-Immortal Level powerhouses. Although your true battle power far exceeds your Cultivation Base, you can still only contend with the Heavenly Emperor Realm..."
"Are you scared?" Su Han teased.
"Scared?"
Xiang’er’s eyes widened as she exclaimed, "To be honest, if it weren’t for this Lower-Class Star Region’s Heavenly Dao suppressing my power, I could destroy all these people with one Forbidden Curse!"
Su Han smiled without saying anything more.
"Brother, just give me a little confidence!"
Seeing Su Han remain silent, Xiang’er urgently said, "This time, the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects have truly been moved to kill. The Four Great Dao Academies and the Starry Alliance have not shown themselves yet, clearly having long agreed not to help us. Besides, we have no entanglements with them, so they won’t help us without reason."
"Since that’s the case, all we can rely on is ourselves."
"Is the Immortal Artifact you refined better than theirs? Otherwise, I’m afraid it can’t fend them off!"
"It’s not that I praise others while belittling ourselves; it’s just that their powerhouses are numerous, and their Cultivation Bases are high. Moreover, they might have more than one Immortal Artifact!"
Seeing Xiang’er’s anxious appearance, Su Han couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, gently patting Xiang’er’s hair, and said, "You being a mage may not understand that while controlling Immortal Artifacts is related to Cultivation Base, what truly unleashes their great power is the method of control and what’s infused in the Immortal Artifact, do you understand my meaning?"
"Hmm?"
Xiang’er looked puzzled and guessed, "Brother, do you mean the Law?"
"Sort of."
Su Han replied ambiguously, making Xiang’er stomp her foot in frustration.
In reality, what Xiang’er worried about was what everyone in the Phoenix Sect was concerned about.
Phoenix Sect also possessed an Immortal Artifact, which should have been a great joy, but faced with the siege from the many forces of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, they couldn’t find any joy.
To anyone, it seemed that a single Immortal Artifact couldn’t possibly withstand their attack.
"Sect Master, they are coming..."
Lian Yuze’s voice came from nearby, and Su Han turned to look, seeing figures with stern expressions and killing intent in their eyes, already appearing atop the city walls.
"Six hundred miles away!" Lian Yuze shouted.
Su Han smiled, waving his hand, "You all need not be so tense. This time we’re not going to fight the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects to the death. With Phoenix Sect’s current battle power, we really can’t afford such sacrifice. Our sect is fully aware, so put your hearts at ease."
"Not fighting?"
Many appeared puzzled.
If not fighting, then what?
Is it just using the Immortal Artifact for defense?
But can a single Immortal Artifact defend against them?
Xiang’er, being a mage, cannot control a martial Immortal Artifact. Relying solely on the Destruction Empress, can she withstand them?
"Five hundred miles!" Lian Yuze spoke again.
And as he spoke, those figures in the distance were evidently closer.
From all directions, even above the void, there wasn’t the slightest gap.
The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects had resolved to annihilate the Phoenix Sect and would not leave them any path of retreat.
The entire Phoenix City was now surrounded.
"Four hundred miles!"
Lian Yuze’s expression became more and more tense, "Three hundred miles!"
"Two hundred miles!"
"One hundred miles!"
"Fifty miles!"
"Ten miles!"
"One mile!!!"
With his final words, the atmosphere in the field fell into silence at this moment.
The many forces that had been pressing forward suddenly halted at the command and stood before Phoenix City.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Phoenix Sect looked ominous, clenched their fists, and their energy surged into the sky with intense anger and killing intent erupting from their hearts.
Neither side spoke, only staring at each other.
After a moment, below the city gate, a middle-aged man at the Dao Sovereign Realm spoke, looking at Su Han.
"Su Baliu, already at death’s door, what are you looking at? Come down here and die!"
His aura spread, being a Super Powerhouse at the Dao Sovereign Realm, with his attire already confirming his identity.
He was from the Qing Emperor Sect!
