Chapter 62 The Final Battle – Breaking the Formation and Victory
The battle reached its climax. Although the Tianyuan Alliance, with its elite soldiers and the swift movements of the Lingyun Sword Sect disciples, gradually dismantled the outer defenses of the Tianqi Sect, the Tianqi Sect's counterattack was also exceptionally fierce. Black mist shrouded the battlefield, and the tolling of the Evil God Bell shook the minds of every cultivator. The elders of the Tianqi Sect stood in the center of the battlefield, using their overwhelming power to resist the Tianyuan Alliance's offensive.
However, the key figure in this battle—Xuan Tianyi, the Holy Son of the Tianqi Sect—never made a move. His true purpose was not to destroy the Tianyuan Continent, but to use the secret realm to hunt down disciples from various sects, weaken their opponents, and thus establish the Tianqi Sect's unshakeable dominance on the Tianyuan Continent.
Xuan Tianyi knew that the sects on the Tianyuan Continent were like towering mountain peaks, and to unify the world, he had to weaken their power at its foundation. The Tianjue Secret Realm was the perfect hunting ground.
Just as Zhang Yifan, Lin Qingzhu, and Fang Xue were engaged in fierce battle with the elders of the Tianqi Sect, the Tianyuan Alliance's gradual offensive was suddenly halted by a powerful force. Accompanied by a deep and resonant bell toll, a strange black pillar of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the central position of the Tianqi Sect, piercing straight into the sky as if tearing it apart, carrying an irresistible pressure.
All the Tianyuan Alliance cultivators who were fighting felt a tightness in their hearts, as an invisible pressure enveloped their souls.
“It’s him…” General Fei Hong stood on the high ground, his eyes narrowed, a hint of solemnity in them. Xuan Tianyi’s appearance had finally broken the stalemate between the two sides. As the Holy Son of the Tianqi Sect, Xuan Tianyi’s strength was unfathomable, and every move he made would affect the course of the entire battle.
The black pillar of light gradually dissipated, and a man dressed in black robes slowly emerged from the black mist. His face was handsome, but his eyes flashed with a cold light. He held a slender, evil blade in his hand, and his body was surrounded by a chilling aura, as if he were a messenger from hell.
"General Fei Hong, it seems your alliance is indeed quite capable, managing to break through the defenses of my Tianqi Sect." Xuan Tianyi's voice was cold and composed.
General Fei Hong stared coldly at Xuan Tianyi, his longsword trembling slightly, his silver armor gleaming in the dim light. He said in a deep voice, "Xuan Tianyi, the Tianqi Sect's conspiracy has long been exposed. By hunting down disciples from various sects, you have already caused countless people to pay the price with their lives. Today, your plan will not succeed."
Xuan Tianyi smiled contemptuously, his eyes filled with disdain: "General, the conspiracy you speak of is nothing more than the inevitable trend of the Tianqi Sect. The sects and forces on the Tianyuan Continent are numerous and fighting their own battles, and they have long been unable to control their true power. My Tianqi Sect is the only one that can integrate these forces. Hunting you down is merely to weaken those foolish sects and pave the way for our Tianqi Sect to ascend to the position of hegemon."
General Fei Hong sneered: "Your so-called integration is nothing more than a means to satisfy your own ambitions. If the Tianqi Sect truly dominates the world, the Tianyuan Continent will only fall into deeper disaster. Today, I will fight you and put an end to your delusions!"
Xuan Tianyi's smile gradually faded, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes: "Foolish general, then let me personally put an end to your ignorant obsession."
Without hesitation, General Fei Hong charged towards Xuan Tianyi, his longsword drawing a silver streak in the air, its sword energy like a sharp arrow, aimed straight for Xuan Tianyi's throat. This sword strike was extremely fast and imposing, a unique skill that General Fei Hong had honed over many years on the battlefield.
Despite the fierce attack, Xuan Tianyi remained remarkably calm. He lightly swung the evil blade in his hand, and the black aura collided with the sword energy, producing a deafening roar. The two powerful forces clashed fiercely in the air, surprisingly evenly matched.
General Fei Hong swung his sword repeatedly, the blades flashing and intertwining, forming an impenetrable net that enveloped Xuan Tianyi. Each strike carried immense killing intent, each strike seeking to exploit Xuan Tianyi's weakness.
Xuan Tianyi's figure appeared and disappeared in the black mist, his movements light and unpredictable, as if he had become one with the darkness. His evil blade swung out from time to time, each strike carrying destructive power. General Fei Hong's sword net seemed unable to touch him.
“Your strength is indeed remarkable, General,” Xuan Tianyi sneered, “but you self-righteous fellows can never see the true nature of this world.”
Before the words were finished, Xuan Tianyi's evil blade swung violently, the black light transforming into a gigantic beast-like phantom that lunged at General Fei Hong. General Fei Hong's gaze sharpened, and his longsword suddenly thrust out diagonally, the sword energy like thunder, cleaving through the darkness.
The two forces collided once more, and the shockwave swept across the entire battlefield. The cultivators of the Tianyuan Alliance and the Tianqi Sect could all feel the powerful shockwave.
Just as General Fei Hong and Xuan Tianyi were locked in fierce combat, Zhang Yifan, Lin Qingzhu, and Fang Xue led the Lingyun Sword Sect disciples into the core area of the Tianqi Sect, heading straight for the Evil God Bell. The enormous black bell towered in the center of the battlefield, its surface covered with strange runes. Each time the bell rang, the power of the Tianqi Sect disciples would increase.
Zhang Yifan knew that the Evil God Bell had to be destroyed to weaken the Heavenly Revelation Sect's power. He looked at Lin Qingzhu and Fang Xue beside him and whispered, "This is our last chance. Concentrate all our strength and destroy the Evil God Bell in one fell swoop!"
Lin Qingzhu and Fang Xue exchanged a glance, their gazes both resolute. They quickly positioned themselves on either side of Zhang Yifan, and the three of them simultaneously drew their swords, the sword light striking the Evil God Bell like thunder. Under the impact of the sword energy, the massive bell emitted a muffled hum, its black runes flashing with an ominous light.
"The bell is too sturdy; we need even stronger power!" Fang Xue said through gritted teeth.
Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, gathering all his spiritual energy, and his longsword erupted with a dazzling sword light: "One more time! Everyone, attack with all your might!"
Under Zhang Yifan's command, the disciples of Lingyun Sword Sect poured their spiritual energy into the sword light. Instantly, the sword light converged into a massive sword beam, seemingly tearing through the heavens and earth, and fiercely slashed towards the Evil God Bell.
"break!"
With Zhang Yifan's angry shout, the enormous sword light struck the center of the Evil God Bell. The runes on the bell collapsed, black mist scattered, and the Evil God Bell shattered into countless fragments amidst a deafening roar, falling to the ground.
The destruction of the Evil God Bell caused the disciples of the Apocalypse Sect to suddenly lose their power. Without the blessing of the bell's sound, their combat strength was greatly weakened, and they instantly fell into chaos.
The moment the Evil God Bell was destroyed, Xuan Tianyi's expression changed drastically. He felt his power drain away and knew he had lost his most important reliance. Taking advantage of the opportunity, General Fei Hong launched a fierce attack, his longsword thrusting out like lightning. Xuan Tianyi was no longer able to resist and was struck in the chest by the sword energy, staggering back several steps, blood gushing from his mouth.
Xuan Tianyi barely managed to support himself, coldly staring at General Fei Hong, his eyes filled with resentment: "Tianyuan Alliance... do you think this can stop Tianqi Sect? As long as we don't die, Tianqi Sect will eventually return to its peak!"
General Fei Hong sheathed his sword and stood there, his gaze cold and stern: "As long as you exist, the Tianyuan Continent will never be at peace. Today, you must be executed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, General Fei Hong suddenly swung his sword, and the sword energy swept over Xuan Tianyi's body like a storm. Xuan Tianyi could no longer resist and finally turned into a black shadow in the sword energy, disappearing into the wind of the battlefield.
With Xuan Tianyi's fall, the remaining forces of the Tianqi Sect were completely routed, and the Tianyuan Alliance achieved a complete victory on the battlefield. The cultivators of the Tianyuan Alliance cheered and celebrated this hard-won but glorious victory.
General Fei Hong stood on the high ground, gazing at the battlefield marked by the flames of war, his eyes filled with contemplation: "Defeating the Tianqi Sect is only the beginning. We must be even more vigilant and not allow such evil forces to take advantage of us again."
