Chapter 107 The Earthworm Shakes the Tree
In war, everyone has a role to play and everyone has responsibilities.
Once the Sword Sect monk arrives at Zhongling, he can naturally take over the command of the Zhongling monk, become the leader of the Zhongling human race, and gain the trust and follow of the Zhongling monk.
This is because they are the strongest.
Similarly, since Jian Zong is now the leader of Zhong Ling, they should be the first in the world.
They have the responsibility to cover the safe retreat of the Zhongling monks, so as to preserve as much power as possible. After the Heart City is established, they can use it as a foundation to compete with the demons.
Gu Qiu laughed loudly, and then gave instructions to the Taoist priest behind him.
"In three weeks, you will be in charge of the retreat of the large forces. We will at least buy you one day."
In three weeks, Tianchen Fa Sect's Nine Realm Dharma Cultivator was also the de facto leader of Hutou City before Jian Sect came to Zhongling.
Zhou Zhou seemed a little hesitant, "Gu Peak Master, the whole army of the demon clan is dispatched, and the attack is fierce. It seems that the Sword Sect alone is not sure of stopping them?"
"I have seven hundred Sword Sect disciples, that's enough!" There was no doubt in Gu Qiu's voice.
After carefully weighing it three weeks ago, he sighed, not daring to waste time and could only acquiesce to Gu Qiu's arrangement.
"If so, then we will believe in the strength of your Sword Sect and take the first step."
"Hurry up and don't make a mistake." Gu Qiu said calmly.
Zhou Zhou sighed again.
The Sword Sect monk is really tough.
But only such monks of the Sword Sect can make the Sword Sect, with more than 3,000 people, the recognized first sect in the seven domains of the human race, right?
He shook his head, got rid of distracting thoughts, and stopped thinking about it for three weeks. He immediately retreated with the other high-level monks except the Sword Sect and began to carry out his mission.
Before Jian Zong came to Zhongling, the monks here obeyed the arrangements for three weeks.
So he suddenly took over the command again, and he was quite handy and moved quickly.
The monk moved quickly.
Under the urgent order, the gathering was completed in just a few dozen breaths, and then they quickly abandoned the city and retreated.
If they retreat tens of thousands of miles further, they will enter the wake area of the spiritual sea tide.
The monks in Hutou City were all retreating, but the Jianzong monks were the only ones who did not retreat.
Outside the city, far away in the sky, the demon army was getting closer and closer.
As they approached, the entire sky seemed to begin to vibrate.
The demons also noticed the human race's retreat, and under the command of the demon king, they sped up their actions again.
The black army of demons came overwhelmingly like a tide.
Above the blue sky, there are layers of dark clouds, dark and gloomy.
Under the blue sky, seven hundred sword cultivators from the Sword Sect stood suspended in the air.
Facing the demon army that was ten thousand times their number, their expressions were calm, but their eyes were firm and full of fighting spirit.
The demon army was extremely fast, but within a few dozen breaths, it was approaching with billowing demonic aura.
In the magic mist, Demon Lord Taixuan, who led the demon army to attack Hutou City, looked into the distance.
He looked at the more than 700 sword sect sword cultivators above Hutou City, and his usually casual face suddenly turned gloomy.
He naturally understood what these Sword Sect monks were planning to do.
"Even if you, the master of the Sword Sect, come in person, you can't resist my demon clan's offensive, let alone you disciples of the Sword Sect?"
"There are thousands of demonic troops here, how can you stop them with so few people?"
"It's so ridiculous that a small fly shakes a big tree!"
The gloomy questioning sound came from the air, spread throughout Hutou City, and reached the ears of every Sword Sect monk.
Gu Qiu's hair was flying gently in the cold wind.
He turned his head and looked at the Sword Sect disciple behind him.
He did not answer Demon Lord Taixuan's question, but just said something to his seven hundred fellow disciples.
"Disciple of the Sword Sect, draw your sword!"
In the sky, the word "Sword Drawing" kept echoing.
Then, Gu Qiu held a long sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword directly at the millions of demon cultivators in front of him, and took the lead in swinging the sword heavily.
Gu Qiu, draw your sword.
More than 700 people faced an army of tens of millions of demons.
Even among these more than 700 people, every one of them is an absolute genius, the strongest person in the same level. Even if there are tens of millions of demons in the army, their strength is uneven. Many demon cultivators can kill swordsmen with just one sword. Can be killed instantly.
But if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant, not to mention that the demon army is definitely not just ants.
With such a huge disparity in the number of people, no matter how you look at it, it's like a mantis trying to beat a chariot, with no chance of survival.
Facing such a huge number of enemies, Gu Qiu drew his sword and went all out without reservation.
His eyes suddenly brightened, and when he drew his sword, his hair, which was originally just flying slightly, danced back wildly.
In Gu Qiu's long sword, the auras of heaven and earth are divided. Hundreds of thousands of white sword auras are crisscrossed, either quiet or leisurely, rising straight to the sky or swooping down to the earth, rushing forward.
With the dark sky as the curtain, the sword energy was bright and dazzling, like a grand fireworks.
Demon Lord Taixuan said that they were like insects shaking the tree.
And indeed it is.
Because, the sword in Gu Qiu's hand is densely covered with lines and the sword energy is lingering.
The name of the sword is 蚍蜉.
An earthworm can shake a tree.
The sword energy has been exhausted.
The more than 700 Sword Sect disciples behind Gu Qiu also drew their swords at this time.
Amidst the clear whistle, more than a thousand cold swords rose into the sky, turning into countless afterimages in the sky, condensing the bright sword light, like a long rainbow, and pouring forward like a sword river.
More than thousands of turbulent currents suddenly appeared between the sky and the earth, piercing the black "tide" ahead.
A turbulence is a flying sword.
These flying swords are very close to the sky, absorbing the skylight emitted from the clouds, and refracting the dim light into colorful colors.
Beautiful as a dream.
This scene looks very hard and cold against the cold sky.
Also spectacular.
It was even more spectacular and powerful than the charge of thousands of troops.
After three weeks of retreating with the large army of monks in the city, and those monks who had just figured out the situation, they couldn't help but look back when they heard the whistle of swords coming from behind.
Then, they saw this unforgettable scene, and understood the reason why the Sword Sect was named after the Sword Sect for tens of thousands of years.
The world has only heard that Li Qiubai, the swordsman of Chang'an, once opened the gate of heaven with a sword in Chang'an City, making heaven and earth solemn.
Those magnificent swords are just legends after all. Without seeing them with your own eyes and without attainments in swordsmanship, it is difficult to truly appreciate the magnificence and majesty within them.
But today, on Hutou City, more than 700 sword cultivators from the Sword Sect drew their swords together, and more than a thousand swords floated in the sky. They were lucky enough to witness it with their own eyes. They really felt like Mount Tai was overwhelming them, and they were in awe.
Under the flying sword.
A seventh-grade demon cultivator was penetrated.
An eighth-level demon lord was blasted into a ball of blood mist.
A ninth-level demon cultivator was poked with countless holes by flying swords, and the sky was stained with blood.
The first wave of thousands of swords struck, and the demon army was carved out of a small blank area.
Seeing this scene, Demon Lord Taixuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the more than 700 sword sect sword cultivators above Hutou City. The emotion in his eyes became increasingly cold and crazy.
"If you are really overestimating your capabilities and being extremely arrogant, then let me leave you with no one left in the Sword Sect today."
The reputation of the Sword Sect is extremely high, but there is not much pressure on the high-ranking and powerful Demon Lord Taixuan.
Because history has proven countless times that facing the fearless charge of their demon army, unless you are a figure of the level of a sword immortal, no matter how powerful a sword cultivator is, you will only die.
"Charge!" Demon Lord Taixuan ordered.
He knew that the swords of Sword Sect monks were very powerful.
But it doesn't matter, just fill it with your life.
In this war, regardless of losses or costs, we only seek victory.
He wanted to deal with these sword cultivators blocking the way as soon as possible, and then catch up with the large army of monks who had just evacuated Hutou City, make great achievements in one fell swoop, and inflict heavy damage on the human race!
The demon army continued to charge forward.
The demon army at the front had been quickly adjusted at this time and replaced by a strange demon cultivator covered in mysterious black scales.
It was a black scale demon. The scales on its body were extremely resistant to physical attacks and were as strong as black iron.
Even a sword cultivator's sharp flying sword would be difficult to break through these scales in a short period of time.
In the past battles, the Black Scale Demon Clan had the upper hand when facing the sword cultivator.
Even though he was facing a sword cultivator from the Sword Sect, Demon Lord Taixuan was still confident.
So what about the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect, aren’t they still sword cultivators?
The demon army charging with terrifying power and momentum, as long as it rushes through the rain of flying swords, once it comes into contact with those extremely weak sword cultivators, in an instant, random punches can swallow them up to nothing.
This is the method they prepared for Jian Zong.
