Chapter 1306 Despair
Shi Cheng did not wait for Fang Bai to show up, but instead he received a piece of bad news that shocked and despaired him:
Jinwu Villa was besieged by nearly 30,000 elite disciples of the Tianji Sect, led by several elders and deacons of the Tianji Sect. The owner of the village, Huang Canghai, led the disciples in the village to resist the attack of the Tianji Sect and had no time to come to the rescue.
The one who brought the bad news was one of the several disciples sent to the Jinwu Villa for rescue. The disciple rushed back with severe injuries. After telling the news with all his strength, he died unwillingly.
Shi Cheng stretched out his palms and closed the eyes of the Jinwu Villa disciple who refused to close his eyes. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcing himself not to let his emotions fluctuate too intensely, but his slightly trembling body still betrayed him.
"There are ten thousand elite disciples here at Yuanshi Mine and thirty thousand elite disciples over there at Jinwu Villa... Almost all the elite disciples from Tianji Sect came out in full force... They want to destroy my Jinwu Villa and then annex everything that belongs to the Villa! Oh, I have such a big appetite, and I’m not afraid of bursting my belly!”
Shi Cheng murmured to himself, his eyes were filled with coldness, his fists clenched and his face was distorted, looking ferocious and terrifying.
As he said this, his heart couldn't help but sink, as if he had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave, trembling with cold.
Based on the information from all parties, Shi Cheng knew that Tianji Sect was well prepared this time and had a premeditated plan.
As a first-class family, the overall strength of Jinwu Villa is not inferior to Tianji Sect. However, after the battle just now, most of the 20,000 elite disciples of Jinwu Villa who guarded the entrance to the Yuanshi mine were killed or injured. Their strength was severely weakened. Facing the 10,000 elite disciples of Tianji Sect, The offensive launched was simply powerless to contend with.
If the Jinwu Villa at this moment is compared to a heavy-laden and extremely weak camel, then Tianji Sect will undoubtedly be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
"The enemy is facing us, and there is no hope for reinforcements. We can only fight to the death to protect the interests of the villa!"
Shi Cheng suddenly turned his head, glanced at the thousands of Jinwu Villa disciples gathered on the fortress, and shouted sharply.
Ten thousand elite disciples of the Tianji Sect surged in from all directions of the fortress, completely blocking all retreats from the fortress, and set out to kill all the disciples of the Jinwu Villa who were guarding the entrance to the Yuanshi Mine.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Thousands of disciples of Jinwu Villa knew that this battle was about life and death, so they were fearless. All the disciples, whether they were intact or wounded, stood tall and roared with all their strength.
An atmosphere of sorrow and sadness lingered in the hearts of every Jinwu Villa disciple. Some disciples looked up at the rising sun in the sky, with a bit of reluctance on their faces, knowing that this might be the last time they would see the light. .
"attack!"
Seeing that the disciples rushing in the front row had arrived under the fortress, Xuan Tianji, the leader of the Tianji Sect who was supervising the formation at the rear, gave the order to attack with a sneer on his face.
"kill!"
Upon hearing this, ten thousand elite disciples of the Tianji Sect waved their spiritual weapons, leaped up, and attacked the disciples of the Golden Crow Villa who were guarding the fortress.
"kill!"
Shi Cheng's beard and halberd were spread out, murderous intent was rising into the sky, and he let out a loud roar.
His voice was like muffled thunder, booming in the ears of thousands of Jinwu Villa disciples.
"kill!"
Thousands of Jinwu Villa disciples cheered up and fought back with all their strength amidst the roars, pouring out the anger and resentment in their hearts with streams of fierce energy.
Although the number of disciples in Jinwu Villa was small, all of them were determined to fight to the death, and instead used their combat power beyond their level. Coupled with the advantage of being at a commanding height, the disciples of Tianji Sect who thought they had a chance to win suffered a lot of hardships and suffered many casualties.
Thousands of blades of sword light condensed from golden energy pierced the air, and with the sound of whistling sonic booms produced by high-speed lasing of sharp metal, they slashed towards the Tianji Sect disciples leaping in the air, surrounding the fortress. The whole space is faintly fluctuating.
Jinwu Villa had just suffered heavy damage and was surrounded by a tight siege. The disciples of Tianji Sect thought that the disciples of Jinwu Mountain must have fallen into a pessimistic and desperate situation. Just one attack from their side could cause them to collapse and flee.
But it was this arrogant and contemptuous mentality that made Tianji Sect disciples suffer a lot and paid a heavy price.
Although the thousands of elite Tianji Sect disciples who jumped into the air formed defensive air shields around their bodies, they did not expect that the counterattack from the disciples of Jinwu Villa would be so fierce and powerful.
Thousands of fire energy imaginary blades and swords intertwined into life-threatening webs, covering the thousands of Tianji Sect disciples who first jumped to a position parallel to the fortress with an indestructible and indestructible momentum.
Even though some relatively strong Tianji Sect disciples could block the first, second or even third wave of sword net attacks, they could not block more.
The continuously transformed webs of swords tore through the defensive air shields formed around the disciples of Tianji Sect again and again, eventually destroying them, and the ensuing blades and sword light fell on those who were cut or stabbed. On the disciples of the Tianji Sect who lost the protection of the defensive air shield.
"ah!"
"Ouch!"
"Help!"
"My legs were chopped off!"
"The left arm is gone!"
…
The screams echoed around the fortress. Hundreds of Tianji Sect disciples were either killed or injured under the net of swords, and their bodies fell down, leaving a cloud of blood mist filling the air. .
The casualties of hundreds of fellow disciples greatly frightened the other Tianji Sect disciples, and for a while no one continued to attack.
"What a bunch of idiots! Don't stop attacking, keep going! At one go, seize the entrance to the Yuanshi vein!"
Xuan Tianji, the leader of the Tianji Sect, who was holding the battle behind 20,000 elite disciples, couldn't help but jump to his feet and curse when he saw the disciples in the sect cowering in frustration.
Under the command of Xuan Tianji and several senior officials of Tianji Sect, nearly 10,000 elite disciples of Tianji Sect reorganized their formation, put away their contemptuous attitude, and launched a more violent offensive regardless of casualties.
Although the disciples of Jinwu Villa had the upper hand in the previous attack, they only relied on their bravery and spent a lot of energy. Therefore, their subsequent counterattacks would no longer have the same power as before.
However, they were fearless in life and death, and each of them unleashed their potential, still staging an offensive and defensive battle at the cost of one life for two.
However, no matter how great the courage and high fighting spirit, it can't offset the huge gap in strength and numbers.
Half an hour later, the corpses of Tianji Sect disciples were piled under the fortress, and more than half of the Jinwu Villa disciples on the fortress were killed or injured again.
"It's over...the entrance to the Yuanshi vein can't be defended..."
Shi Cheng looked at the fortress where there were only two or three thousand disciples who could fight, but the Tianji Sect had four or five times as many disciples as his own. His heart was extremely cold, and despair rose in his heart.
