Eternal Sect’s combat power had already been proven after continuously breaching the provincial capitals, but it still lacked something.

Heavenly Demon Emperor’s army coming to provide aid just happened to provide a bigger stage.

“Boom boom!”

“Boom boom boom!”

Cannonballs fired together, each shot hitting its mark.

Starship warships one after another were blasted to smithereens like targets.

The nobles hiding in Starspirit City saw this, the terror in their eyes growing even stronger.

Our Emperor’s warships were created jointly by Starspirit Realm’s strongest craftsmen, consuming massive manpower and resources. Their defensive strength was beyond imagination, yet they were as fragile as paper.

At the same time, everyone felt fortunate.

Good thing the reinforcements came in time. If they had come to bombard Starspirit City, there would have been no way to resist.

At this moment, though Eternal Sect posed a threat to Heavenly Demon Emperor’s warship fleet, the nobles still firmly believed they could be rescued from peril.

The power of faith made them full of beautiful hope for the future.

But as warship after warship was blasted to powder, as Heavenly Demon soldier after soldier was annihilated, the beautiful dream woven in their hearts was gradually awakening bit by bit.

“Startling Swan!”

“Silent Destruction!”

“Whoosh—”

Sword radiance piercing heaven and earth suddenly appeared. Most of the firmament seemed to be split apart, and dozens of warships within it broke apart one after another.

“Clang.”

Zhou Hong sheathed his sword, black hair flying.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

At this time, dozens of warriors from Heavenly Demon Emperor’s side came killing from the flank. Just as they were about to approach, soft sword energy appeared from nowhere before their eyes.

“Swish swish!”

Sword shadows crisscrossed, directly tearing them to shreds.

“Hmph.”

Jian Xiaohong stood with sword beside Zhou Hong, raising her eyebrows. “With this old lady here, no one can hurt my man.”

“……”

Zhou Hong was speechless.

This junior was becoming more and more improper in her speech.

Actually, after becoming disciples of Sword Saint, the two had been inseparable.

Both cultivating the sword dao—one silent and taciturn, one mischievous and clever—the CP sense was quite satisfying.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

On another side, He Wudi strolled through the enemy army. Wherever he passed, severed limbs and broken arms flew about.

Most of the time, he liked keeping a low profile, but this time was war—he had to be high-profile, otherwise he might die from keeping too low a profile.

Compared to He Wudi’s clean efficiency, the beast clan led by Purple Scale Demon King was rather brutal. They all removed their school uniforms to bare their bodies, using cruel methods to annihilate their targets.

They were holding back frustration.

Because Young Master Yuan was watching from a distance, even holding brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

For Ah Zi, fighting without clothes bursting off was like losing his soul, so he could only vent all his rage on the enemies.

……

The forces Heavenly Demon Emperor sent to provide aid were many. Eternal Sect’s side also had quite a few.

Therefore, this war’s slaughter was exceptionally brutal.

Looking at the current situation, Eternal Sect’s side, because of various hot weapons and Immortal Sound power enhancement, had gradually taken the upper hand.

Even so, the nobles in Starspirit City still had hope for the future. The reason was that warships were still endlessly flying through the torn space.

Being passive was only temporary.

When Our Emperor invested massive forces to wear them down, victory would ultimately arrive!

However, the nobles’ fantasy only lasted a short ten-some minutes, because the reinforcements that should have been endlessly flying into Starspirit Realm abruptly stopped.

“That’s it?”

Everyone was somewhat devastated.

The reinforcements Heavenly Demon Emperor sent weren’t few.

But looking at the situation, they simply couldn’t suppress the unstoppable Eternal Sect.

No big problem.

As long as the two Eight Heavenly Dragons could eliminate the rebel ringleader, the rest were just small fry.

The nobles placed their hopes on Overgrowth King and Killborn King again. But when they looked up toward the distance and saw three streams of light crisscrossing back and forth, space collapsing, heaven falling and earth caving in, they immediately had the illusion this could last for decades.

If they couldn’t quickly take down the rebel leader, the problem would be serious!

……

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

In the firmament above, three streams of light crisscrossed. Sometimes merging, sometimes separating.

Because the battle level was too high, aside from Jian Guixu, almost no one could completely capture the combat images.

“Boom!”

Another explosion shattering space rang out.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Overgrowth King and Killborn King flew out.

The two hovered in the distance, their arms and chest-backs covered with sword marks. Clearly during the exchange, they hadn’t avoided being treated by the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

“Damn it!”

Overgrowth King’s face was full of rage.

The two brothers fighting together had never been this disheveled.

“Alas.”

Jun Changxiao shook his head. “Are Heavenly Demon Emperor’s capable subordinates only at this level?”

“……”

Overgrowth King was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

Killborn King was relatively calm. He first observed the situation below, discovering their side was gradually at a disadvantage, then transmitted his voice: “Big brother, the situation seems somewhat unfavorable. We must quickly complete the mission Heavenly Demon Emperor-daren gave us.”

“What should we do?”

Overgrowth King also realized the situation was unfavorable for their side. If they couldn’t quickly eliminate this Eternal Sect’s Sect Master, the longer they dragged on, the more warships and forces they would lose.

“To fight quickly and decisively, we can only use our trump card.”

“……”

After brief consideration, Overgrowth King said, “Though we’ll lose thousands of years of cultivation, if we can’t complete the mission Our Emperor gave us, the consequences will only be more severe.”

“Come!”

“Send him to hell!”

The two brothers reached consensus, then lined up at fixed positions and began making strange movements.

“……”

Jun Changxiao was stunned.

Those two brothers in mid-air were twisting their arms and butts—could they be doing impromptu dancing?

Bah!

How shameful, have they no face?

“Heh heh heh.” The System laughed dryly. “Someone who led disciples dancing in public to gain humiliation points—what qualification does he have to say whether others are shameful or faceless?”

The snark remained sharp.

“Brothers of one heart, their sharpness can cut through metal!” Just then, Overgrowth King and Killborn King moved close, spreading their arms to embrace together.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Powerful evil force instantly erupted, completely enveloping the two, while continuously expanding and enlarging.

“This…”

Jun Changxiao’s brows furrowed. He immediately swung his sword to slash out dozens of sword energies, but the moment they touched that mass of power, they were deflected.

Very hard!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The evil force continued expanding, finally transforming to thousands of zhang in height. After gradually converging, a colossal creature appeared in view.

“Holy crap!”

Su Xiaomo and others who were fighting fiercely saw this and exclaimed in alarm, “That big?”

Really very big!

Jun Changxiao at about one point eight meters standing nearby was like a tiny ant beneath a towering mountain. Even without using divine sense, just raising his head to look with the naked eye, he could barely see the opponent’s knees.

“Boom!”

The colossal creature landed on the ground. The entire Starspirit Realm shook, and nearby cities unable to withstand it collapsed one after another.

“……” Jun Changxiao retreated very far until he could see the features clearly, then roared, “This is just two people combined together!”

Yes.

The colossal creature—one half was Overgrowth King, one half was Killborn King. Completely two bodies fused into one, each occupying half. Aside from being much larger than before, there were no other special features.

“Boy!”

The Overkill Brothers sneered coldly, “Don’t think it’s simple!”

“Whoosh!”

As the words fell, the giant body like a titan suddenly raised its foot, stomping down like a mountain pressing overhead. The moment power erupted, the surrounding space couldn’t withstand it and directly split open.

“Whoosh—” Jun Changxiao transformed into flowing light, flying at extreme speed from the original area. Hearing a “boom” of tremendous sound, he thought in alarm, “Their strength increased too!”

Naturally.

Two people combining, power combining.

When strong cultivators of this level added together, it absolutely wasn’t one plus one equals two.

“Die!”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The massive foot like a mountain peak pressed down again. Imposing aura and foot odor hit his face, blowing Jun Changxiao’s black hair wildly, making his stomach churn nauseously.

“Boom boom boom!”

“Boom boom boom!”

Starspirit Realm shook continuously, the ground and space severely fractured.

If Heavenly Demon Emperor were here, he’d probably roar: “I sent you to save this realm, not to destroy it!”
