Chapter 868: Counterattack
Now, they couldn’t believe what Shang Xia’s clone was saying to them.
Even though he couldn’t integrate all their qi, he said that he would be able to integrate a portion of it!
“Are you sure?! Do you really know what it means to integrate 30 to 40 percent of our dipper qi?!” Huang Jinghan growled. The suspicion in his voice was even heavier than Jiu Du’s.
It might just be 30 to 40 percent of their dipper qi, but one needed to know who those old monsters were!
Kou Chongxue, Lu Wuzi, Huang Jinghan, Jiu Du, and Yifeng. Those were 5 supreme experts whose combat abilities were only inferior to Sixth Order Ancestors in the Azure Ascension World!
Even with one of them releasing 30 to 40 percent of their dipper qi, they would be able to match up to an expert in the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm!
Assuming what Shang Xia’s clone said was possible, integrating their dipper qi would result in a superimposition that could release enough power comparable to 2 Kou Chongxues!
That was Kou Chongxue they were using as a unit of measurement here! The ultimate peak of individual fighting strength in the Martial Dipper Realm!
A mystical image flashed through their minds. It was the might Kou Chongxue released during the battle against the Spirit Abundance World 30000 miles from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion of the Azure Ascension World. The sword qi tore through space in an instant and killed a peak-tier expert while heavily injuring another.
With the power of 2 Kou Chongxues, there was no doubt about it. They would be able to reach the strength of a Sixth Order Ancestor!
When they arrived in the Azure Flame World, Kou Chongxue could only unleash his terrifying combat abilities with the help of the Origin Holy Artifact.
“Since the kid is so confident, there’s no harm in trying...” Yifeng snorted. A part of him wanted to watch the world burn, but there was another half of him that seemed to have a strange purpose.
The next second, Lu Wuzi spoke up. “Kid, have you thought this through? The moment you try to integrate our dipper qi, even if you fail, all of us will lose some energy at best. However, things won’t be that simple for you. You will probably lose this clone!”
Jiu Du added, “It’s also possible that we greatly weaken the protection barrier around the city...”
Shang Xia’s clone chuckled, “Seniors, please. Let’s begin.”
Lu Wuzi and the rest glanced at Kou Chongxue and seeing that he hadn’t said anything, they knew that his mind was set on it. They turned into streaks of divine will that returned to their main bodies.
Kou Chongxue was the only one left, and he nodded at Shang Xia before leaving.
Currently, Lu Wuzi, Jiu Du, Yifeng, and Huang Jinghan were holding their position in one of the directions around the city. They worked together with the Martial Dipper Realm experts around them to borrow the power of the grand formation to resist the siege from those giant flying ships and the Martial Sages.
The only person who wasn’t locked down in a certain direction was Kou Chongxue. He stood above the city and it seemed as though he wasn’t actively defending the city, but the pressure he faced was the greatest. That was because he had to help any side that looked like they couldn’t hold on any longer.
Under such circumstances, Kou Chongxue’s body trembled lightly in the air. The next second, the Hidden Frost Sword returned and hovered before him. He started to store up his strength even though they were still in the middle of battle!
At the same time, a strange five colored light ring appeared beneath his body. It started to expand and the heaven and earth qi in the city seemed to be attracted to it as they started to gather around him.
Along with the powerful stream of qi, they slowly became stained with the five colored light Kou Chongxue was emitting. A massive vortex of five colored light appeared in the skies above the city!
In order to gather the dipper qi from the 5 super experts from the Azure Ascension World, they would need a medium, and there was no one more suitable than Kou Chongxue, who was the strongest among them!
At the same time, streams of dipper qi from each of the directions around the city tore through the void and entered the vortex.
As it absorbed the different dipper qi, the vortex showed signs of becoming unsteady. It was as though it would disperse the next second.
However, the disorder hid its true state. In chaos was order, and the vortex maintained its form and spun with extreme power despite looking unsteady.
With the different dipper qi pouring into it, it started to become unsteady in the eyes of whoever was looking. Despite that, it always seemed to maintain a balance as it never actually crumbled.
10 percent... 20 percent... 30 percent!
Dipper qi finally stopped pouring in after they reached the 30 percent mark.
30 percent of their dipper qi seemed to be a giant bottleneck. If they were unable to integrate properly, they would crumble and shatter instantly! If they were, they would be able to fuse in one and greatly raise their power.
The pause couldn’t last for too long. That was because with Lu Wuzi and the others releasing their dipper qi, their combat capabilities would temporarily decline. The pressure on the other parts of the city would increase greatly! They would have to complete whatever they were doing quickly!
The five colored vortex above the city quickly stabilized and became a little milder as the seconds ticked by. Soon after, dipper qi came from the 4 directions again. The only difference this time was that they seemed a lot more careful.
A disturbance of that level couldn’t be hidden from the experts outside the city.
They might not know what was going on, but from the expanding aura from the five colored vortex, countless Martial Sages around the city felt their hearts pounding as fear started to set in their hearts.
All they knew was that they couldn’t let whatever their enemies were doing succeed!
Countless rays emerged from different directions around the city and managed to force their way into it. Their target was surprisingly the same. It was the five colored vortex in the skies above the city!
Lu Wuzi and the others had no way of stopping those streaks of light.
By the time everything happened, Lu Wuzi and the rest barely released 35 percent of their dipper qi into it.
“Alright, that’s it!” Kou Chongxue’s voice rang in the minds of Lu Wuzi and the others, along with Shang Xia.
The infusion of dipper qi stopped in an instant, but the vortex around Kou Chongxue didn’t disappear. Instead, it started to spin with greater power as it turned a little more stable with each passing second.
Those light rays that tore through the void were stopped by the protection barrier above the city for a short while before being torn to shreds by the vortex around Kou Chongxue.
From the start to the end, Kou Chongxue hasn\'t moved a muscle. The aura that came from the vortex was actually affecting Shang Xia, as the pressure he exuded grew higher and higher.
After the lights that came to attack them were shredded by the vortex, Kou Chongxue made his move! His Hidden Frost Sword flew out, and the next second, the heavens above the Yanlin City seemed to be split in half!
At the very edge of the tear was one of the giant flying ships. The second the heavenly tear touched it, the flying ship that was thousands of feet long was cleaved in half!
Those who took part in the siege of the Yanlin City didn’t just consist of Martial Sages! They might be the actual attacking force that attacked the city walls, but there were countless cultivators on those giant ships! There were ten or so Martial Ancestors, dozens of cultivators in the Third Order of the Primary Realm, and even more in the First and Second Order! Only then would the flying ship be able to fully display its might! That wasn’t counting the Martial Sages who were still stationed on them.
When Kou Chongxue’s slash hit the ship and split it in half, it seemed like a clean cut. However, the interior of the ship had long since been ravaged by the tyrannical sword qi. Of the 3 Martial Sages who were on the ship, 2 were killed instantly. The other exhausted all the life-saving treasures on him and sacrificed 2 clones before he was able to survive.
He was the one and only survivor of the flying ship that had been cut in 2.
