Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 598 - 598 597 Undead Army 9

598: Chapter 597: Undead Army 9 598: Chapter 597: Undead Army 9 In the skies above Longxu Gully, it was as if someone had uncovered a massive hornet’s nest, nearly ten thousand black dots in frenzied disarray, a chase to the death with no end in sight.

Nearly seven thousand from the Undead Army and almost a thousand human cultivators commenced a life-or-death pursuit in the sky.

The counterattack by the human Golden Core cultivators started off smoothly, they devised an excellently defended warship; all the Golden Core cultivators hid within, then suddenly charged into the ranks of the Undead Army, causing chaos and making the undead creatures lose their footing.

Then suddenly, the warship self-detonated, and amidst the huge shockwave, a dozen Golden Core cultivators burst out in all directions, coordinating an assault with the Tongtian disciples that caught the Undead Army off guard.

Before the Undead Army could react, forces of cultivators from several small countries to the northwest arrived, a group of three hundred cultivators was indeed negligible against the several thousand of the Undead Army, but the timing was so chaotic that it undoubtedly created a significant obstacle for the Undead Army.

The opening moves were perfect, this triple strike in quick succession causing one to two thousand deaths in the Undead Army in mere moments.

However, for the seven thousand strong Undead Army, this was far from a breaking point.

The battle raged on, and the Golden Core cultivators were entangled by eyeless creatures; the chaos was beyond salvage.

After the initial deaths, the formidable Undead from the desert slowly regrouped, their sheer numbers gradually stabilizing their lines.

Once the Undead Army was no longer in disarray, the tide of battle became balanced; if this continued, the scales of victory would inevitably tilt in favor of the Undead Army.

There were those who were strong enough to kill left and right, and those with mediocre strength caught in encirclement.

After all, natural talent and actual strength didn’t correlate directly.

The majority of human Tongtian Realm cultivators were caught in fierce combat.

As time passed, the numerical superiority of the enemy became increasingly pronounced, and the casualties among the cultivators began to mount.

One squad performed exceptionally well; they truly broke through the lines of the Undead Army and kept charging back and forth.

Leading them was a Flying Sword that left only light and shadow, not a person to be seen.

Freed from the shackles of a physical body, it could focus all its intent on the attack.

Witnessed by Wang Gandang, it was as if he were seeing Brother Hou who had saved them in the desert once again.

It was the same swordsmanship inheritance, the same invincibility.

It was indeed Fang Yazi leading the charge that enabled them to achieve unconquerable bravery that they couldn’t have mustered on their own.

Nan Xiangye watched from behind, his mind tumultuous.

He had never seen such swordsmanship within his own sect; it completely overturned his understanding.

If not for the intensity of the current battle, he would have been keen to ask for guidance and even offer his respect as a disciple, despite the fact that both he and Yazi were of the God Sensing realm.

But even as brave as Yazi was, he could only inspire a small team, unable to change the overall direction of the battlefield.

In the current battle, human cultivators held a certain advantage at the Golden Core level, but it was difficult for them to play a decisive role in the overall course of the conflict; if the battle continued in this manner, the outcome, regardless of victor or loser, was likely to be a tragic one.

No one backed down, nor was there room for retreat.

Both sides were enduring losses, and now it was a matter of who could outlast the other.

The Undead Army, without beliefs to sustain them, had persevered until now mainly because of their compatriots underground.

Once they completed their task and surfaced, it would be the moment for humanity to flee in disarray.

What humanity was holding on to, no one knew; perhaps it was merely an attitude, one that, despite the heavy price, needed to be impressed upon the Undead Army, or else similar invasions would never cease.

Elder Brother Wan couldn’t help but remind, “Junior Brother, it’s time to stop while we’re ahead!

We’ve already killed over two thousand of the Undead creatures, achieving our goal.

If we continue, we might kill more, but we’ll also face significant casualties!

We can’t explain to their sects!

And we can’t justify to our own why over a hundred elite Sword Cultivators would fall here!”

This was the third time he had proposed something akin to a trial, but Yu Zhengxing had rejected him thrice,

“To claim allegiance to the Demon Sect is to have no fear of life and death.

Retreating in the face of battle is a disgrace for a Sword Cultivator!

Senior brother, hold on a little longer, perhaps the next moment the Undead Army will collapse.

They are not like us!

We understand what is worth doing and what is not, do they?”

Senior Brother Wan was fierce in tone, “Any later, and once the Undead Army underground emerges, most of our disciples here will fall, they won’t be able to escape!”

Yu Zhengxing remained unmoved, “Why should we run?

I’ll stand by them!”

Senior Brother Wan’s Flying Sword spun and slashed, his heart filled with despair.

This Demon Sect was so stubbornly misguided.

He began to regret not having suggested to his superiors earlier to replace this guy, which would have prevented such a disaster.

A full one hundred and fifty Sword Cultivators, and now more than a dozen had fallen.

If they were to continue this battle to the death alongside Yu Zhengxing, that madman, surely not one would be left!

That included himself!

If no one left, how could he?

Just as the two were fiercely arguing, there was finally movement beneath the Protective Forest, shadowy and indistinct.

It seemed as if many Cultivation creatures were burrowing up from the ground.

The next moment, hundreds to thousands of human Cultivators ascended!

…Lin Xiashi’s eyes were near bursting; the forest belt was like a dragon, lush and thriving.

He had seen it in the Viewing Stone, but how could the feelings of that time compare to the shock of witnessing it with his own eyes now?

The green hallway of life was like a long dragon, winding for thousands of miles, representing the hope of humanity…

but in the sky, countless undead creatures wreaked havoc!

The human resisters were in dire straits!

At this moment, there was no longer any thought of the various schemings of Sword Cultivators, of trapping the enemy.

His heart was full of an unvented killing intent, and he could not breathe easily without slaying the stubborn foe.

Raising his arm, he bellowed, “Qin Sect associates, follow me in slaying our enemies!

Today we battle, with me, invincible, never stopping until death!”

He was not the eldest senior brother and had no right to command everyone.

Under other circumstances, perhaps not everyone would have listened to him, but at this moment, everyone’s feelings were the same as his, with sectarian conflicts long cast aside, leaving only racial hatred!

With that shout, those who charged with him were not just Qin Sect Cultivators but also all the disciples of the Yue Sect.

They didn’t care who had shouted or who had been the first to charge.

All they needed was a catalyst!

The Qin Sect’s Golden Core eldest senior brother emerged from underground slightly later, so he could only follow behind the group, feeling gloomy and upset.

This junior brother Lin was far too impertinent, even stealing his line!

The Water Clan remained in the Dark River to continue exterminating, also worried that the undead creatures might return.

They were better at underwater fighting; hence this time, those who came up were all human Cultivators, including over a thousand of them, with dozens at the Golden Core Level.

When this power emerged, the situation was set!

Irretrievable.

The Undead Army, after holding out for an hour, finally collapsed.
