Chapter 952 - 952 938 The Battle of Heavenly City Begins

Chapter 952: Chapter 938: The Battle of Heavenly City Begins Chapter 952: Chapter 938: The Battle of Heavenly City Begins Ren Haotian never expected that Yuan Jingxing, whom he had grown up with, would dare to lose his temper like this; he really underestimated him and exclaimed, “You’re getting out of line.”

“What I’m saying is the reality; I don’t want to see what happened in Immortal City happen again in Heavenly City,” Yuan Jingxing said.

At that moment, all eyes turned to Ren Xiongbei, who appeared somewhat embarrassed. If he kept silent, it would only make matters worse, so he quickly said, “Don’t worry, this is the final battle between the Immortal-Demon realm and the Dragon Slaying Clan. If I really have to leave, I will leave the Immortal Pearl behind.”

“It’s best you do; don’t end up deceiving everyone just to save your own skin,” Yuan Jingxing said coldly. “Although Su Zhanze did wrong, not all the blame can be placed on him. It started with someone getting us caught, which led to everything that happened after.”

Qiao Haoyu exclaimed, “Do you think we wanted you to be captured? We didn’t want that either.”

“Then you shouldn’t have fled on your own. What kind of Sect Leader does that?” Yuan Jingxing said, casting a glance at Ren Xiongbei. If it weren’t for the sake of the audience present, he wouldn’t even bother arguing.

At that moment, Ren Xiongbei truly wanted to slap him across the face, but what could he do with so many people watching?

Lou Xuancheng hurriedly said, “Hey, we’re here to discuss how to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan. They’ll be attacking soon, and we need to decide how to handle Longhun and how to defend Heavenly City until Ye Chen and the others arrive.”

Seeing some sparks among the Immortal City Sect’s delegation, Fang Ziren quickly added, “Right, we need to stand united against a common foe now.”

Only then did Yuan Jingxing calm down a bit. For him, with his father-in-law dead in Immortal City, if no one stood up to call out Ren Xiongbei, he couldn’t accept it.

Ling Bo said, “They’ll be attacking soon, and Longhun doesn’t take action without certainty. Plus, he’s teamed up with Shangguan Heiqi. We need to figure out how to deal with Shangguan Heiqi and his Sky-shattering Hammer. Its power is no joke, and there aren’t many who can withstand it,” he said.

This alert everyone.

Fang Ziren had seen the power of Shangguan Heiqi’s Sky-shattering Hammer first hand. Even Ye Chen couldn’t withstand it. How could anyone among them hope to on their own? He said, “Ye Chen has clashed with Shangguan Heiqi before, and he couldn’t match him. So none of us could take on Shangguan Heiqi alone.”

“Then we can only join forces,” said Guan Yi.

“It’s a pity that the Bagua Array of the Eighth Elder from the Demon Palace was broken by Longhun,” said Fang Ziren.

Hu Nanyue said, “Even though the Eighth Elder’s Bagua Array was breached, we still managed to form a new one. Its power isn’t as great as before, but it can’t be denied that it still holds power and can be combined with everyone else’s efforts against Shangguan Heiqi.”

Lou Xuancheng glanced at Ling Bo and said, “Why not Ling Bo? You and Fang Ziren could work with the Bagua Array to take on Shangguan Heiqi and see how things go. We can adjust as needed.”

Ling Bo quickly responded, “That’s fine by me; I’ll follow the plan.”

Fang Ziren slightly nodded in agreement.

“Our task is to hold off the Dragon Slaying Clan until reinforcements from New City Sect arrive,” Lou Xuancheng acknowledged, knowing the threat Longhun posed, and then said, “We all know how formidable Longhun is. He’s cunning and will try everything to breach our city before New City Sect reinforcements arrive. If they can’t break through before that, the initiative will be in our hands.”

Guan Yi said, “As long as we can hold them back, once New City Sect’s help arrives, we’ll have the advantage. Then we won’t have to fear them anymore.”

This was exactly what Lou Xuancheng was thinking as he said, “Then we must hold out until New City Sect’s reinforcements get here. All I want to say is to focus on defense rather than offense, and avoid falling for Longhun’s schemes at all costs. He’s full of tricks, and could come up with all sorts of methods. We must not fall into their trap.”

The others all agreed.

“We can’t be careless; how many times have we thought we’d won, only to have Longhun outwit us? In Demon Valley, we thought we could capture Longhun, but in the end, the Raging Wolf Clan was unleashed. In the battle of Immortal City, although we secured the ring, Longhun had outsmarted us, summoning the Sea Demon and breaching Immortal City, eventually even breaking Demon Palace City,” Lou Xuancheng said.

However, Ren Haotian argued, “The fall of Demon Palace City was because Su Zhanze helped them; otherwise, it would have been impossible to breach Demon Palace City.”

“Let’s not talk about that; what I want to say is we cannot afford to be careless. We must be doubly vigilant; we don’t have a guaranteed victory, and we need to remain calm,” he reiterated.

Guo Yuyun returned after not too long, preparing herself thoroughly.

A massive roar shattered the tranquility of Heavenly City, and clusters of Winged Dragons flew in like dark clouds, their sheer number daunting. Lou Xuancheng immediately ordered the release of the Immortal-Demon Beasts.

The Four Symbols Fusing System activated its protection and unleashed energy to contend with the invading enemy monsters.

Fireballs flew wildly in the sky, like fireworks accompanying the monsters’ screeches. Some hit the Winged Dragons, others flew into the city, and several struck the city walls.

“Try to keep them out as much as possible,” Lou Xuancheng shouted. He didn’t know what other preparations Longhun had made, but he knew this was just the beginning.

Ren Xiongbei stood next to Lou Xuancheng, who said, “Brother Ren, we’ll need to coordinate well when the time comes.”

“Don’t worry,” replied Ren Xiongbei, how could he possibly surrender the Immortal Pearl that he had so hard-won?

Longhun regretted not conserving his forces; losing the Heavenly Pearl was a pity for him. If he still had the Heavenly Pearl, it would have been much more convenient, but now it was gone.

Mitra Monk flew over and said, “They appear to be using the Four Symbols Fusing Array.” Being an expert in this area, he recognized it immediately.

Jing Po said, “It’s a shame our Sea Demon isn’t with us anymore, otherwise, how could this shabby array stop us? No way.”

The robust Shangguan Heiqi, accompanied by Ace Killer and their group, came over.

The Dragon Soul glanced at Shangguan Heiqi, the area already dark as pitch.

Shangguan Heiqi asked, “Shall we have the decisive battle with them today?”

The Dragon Soul didn’t want to waste any time, what he wanted was the decisive battle. He said, “Yes, the decisive battle, Brother Shangguan, could you cooperate with me and charge in?”

“Of course, as long as I can be of use, I’d like nothing more than to wipe them out today; I don’t wish to waste any time either.”

“Good, I also want to resolve all of this quickly and not waste too much time.”

“That’s exactly what I think,” Shangguan Heiqi said.

The Dragon Soul knew of the formidable power of the Sky-shattering Hammer Shangguan Heiqi held in his hand; he needed Shangguan Heiqi’s help, which would give him more assurance.

Shangguan Heiqi asked, “What’s your plan? How do you intend to break through the city?”

“I want to get close to the tower releasing energy.”

“You intend to destroy their energy tower.”

“Right, if we could destroy their defense system, that would of course be best,” Teng Yun’e, standing behind, continued, “That system is tying down too many of us.”

Ace Killer said, “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to approach it.”

But the Dragon Soul countered, “We have to try anyway; we can’t give up now. Brother Shangguan’s Sky-shattering Hammer is formidable, its power unmatched—that we all know.”

The Dragon Soul knew it wouldn’t be easy; Shangguan Heiqi, of course, knew it too, but they had to try.

Guo Yuyun stood atop the city wall, watching the dark Winged Dragons fly in, followed closely by the charge of the Dragon Slaying Clan and Shangguan Heiqi’s subordinates.

For Yun’er, her mission was to help the people of the Immortal Demon Realm hold Immortal City, waiting for the Monkey’s arrival. As long as they held on, the Immortal Demon Realm had hope. But she also knew the Dragon Soul wouldn’t let the Immortal Demon Realm wait for New City’s people so easily.

Guo Yuqing approached with Jiang Shizi.

“Sister, why did you come here?” Guo Yuyun turned around and asked.

Jiang Shizi replied, “Your sister is worried you might get into trouble.”

Having experienced life-and-death situations and understanding their significance, Guo Yuyun had become much more cautious, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t rashly charge forward.”

“Hehe, you can’t afford any accidents; the Monkey is still waiting for you,” Jiang Shizi said.

“Don’t worry.”

Jiang Shizi looked around; both sides had already started fighting. However, most of the Winged Dragons were stuck outside the city gate, and those that did fly in were mostly isolated. The current situation was still relatively ideal.

“It seems the Dragon Slaying Clan isn’t all that formidable,” Jiang Shizi commented.

“It’s just the beginning. These are merely the vanguard. When the Dragon Soul appears and is blocked, that will be the true obstacle.”

Two Winged Dragons landed in a courtyard ahead, smashing a big hole into a room.

Wanting to check it out, Guo Yuqing said, “Yun’er, it’s dangerous here; better go down below.” She wanted to help down below.

“I’m fine, don’t worry. I can take care of myself.”

“You know about Mother…”

Before Guo Yuqing could finish, Guo Yuyun interjected, “Don’t worry, I know. I won’t act recklessly and will take good care of myself.” Father’s death had hit Mother hard; if something happened to her, Mother would be especially heartbroken.

“You have grown up, too. When it’s time to be calm, you have to be calm.”

“I know. Go down and help them now.”

Guo Yuqing and Jiang Shizi went downstairs.

Boom, boom, boom…

Hu Nanyue and Gu Xueyun were at the forefront.

Both stood guard on one side as two dark shadows, like specters, shot out swiftly.
