The Blazing Flame Army truly lived up to its reputation as a well-trained elite corps.
With the command given, thousands of soldiers immediately formed a massive battle array, encircling Lin Xiao in an attempt to kill him.
The formidable formation allowed the Blazing Flame Army to balance offense and defense, significantly boosting their combat power.
Moreover, within the formation, the soldiers' energies were interconnected, forming a cohesive whole that could summon an invisible might, further enhancing their strength.
Yet, even so, they couldn't suppress Lin Xiao, as the vast gap in cultivation was like an insurmountable chasm.
Most of the Blazing Flame Army soldiers were only at the 4th or 5th Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm, and even the senior officers were merely at the 7th to 9th Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.
There were a few Spirit Transformation Realm 1st Layer experts among them, but they stayed at the back, directing the formation, not daring to face Lin Xiao head-on.
Thus, the enormous difference in cultivation couldn't simply be bridged by numbers.
Boom!!
Splat!
Ah!!!
Every strike from Lin Xiao was lethal, his ferocious power rampaging like a wild bull, charging and crashing through.
Wherever his figure flashed, it was a path of destruction.
......
"The strong one from the Azure Light Sect is fighting the Blazing Flame Army!"
"My god, one person charging into an army of a hundred thousand, truly fearless!"
"If he keeps fighting like this, it won't be long before his True Essence is depleted, and he'll surely die!"
"Who exactly is this person? He can't be Zhang Yunyi!"
On a distant hill, dozens of people gathered, heads bustling.
These were individuals from various forces within the Kingdom Chu, including experts from the other three major sects.
They watched the Blazing Flame Army's formation from afar, all stunned and in awe.
At this moment, spies from various factions had discovered Lin Xiao's assault on the massive army, and naturally, the people from the Azure Light Sect had noticed as well.
Sect Master Zhang Yunyi, Grand Elder Gong Feng, and several other elders and disciples gathered at the sect's entrance, gazing towards the battlefield.
"That strong one has taken action again!"
"Who is this senior? To fight a hundred thousand troops alone for our Azure Light Sect, that's an entire hundred thousand troops!"
"This senior must have been one of us in the past, knowing our sect is in trouble, and has come specifically to help us!"
Many disciples murmured, looking at the distant shadow weaving through the army, their blood boiling, eager to follow this senior and charge into the Blazing Flame Army themselves. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
"Senior Sister, can you tell who this senior is?"
Zhang Ruoling asked Ye Qiudie beside her.
She knew that in recent days, Ye Qiudie had been quietly investigating, trying to uncover the identity of this senior.
"I can't tell!"
Ye Qiudie shook her head helplessly. From such a distance, in such darkness, she could only see a vague shadow fighting within the Blazing Flame Army.
In recent days, she had specifically investigated those who hadn't participated in the last battle but were still within the sect.
There were only ten people in total, including two elders, one being the Library Pavilion Elder, and the other a disabled elder, both lacking in strength.
The remaining eight were deacons, disciples, menial disciples, and imprisoned criminals, none of whom matched.
Therefore, this senior must not be from the Azure Light Sect, or if he was, he had long since left.
"Grand Elder, we can't let this senior take the risk alone, let's join the fight!"
Zhang Yunyi looked at the distant battle and spoke to the Grand Elder beside him.
In martial arts, the capable are respected.
This person's strength surpassed his own, so Zhang Yunyi also referred to him respectfully as a senior.
"Alright, let's go lend this senior a hand!"
The Grand Elder nodded immediately.
"Everyone, listen up, remain vigilant, and no one is to leave the sect easily!"
Zhang Yunyi instructed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yunyi's figure shot out like a great bird, swooping towards the Blazing Flame Army below.
The Grand Elder followed closely, both being Spirit Transformation Realm experts, leaping dozens of meters in a single bound, reaching the Blazing Flame Army within a few breaths.
Instantly, the two began to charge into the formation, causing chaos among the Blazing Flame Army.
At the rear, near the tents.
Three commanders of the Blazing Flame Army watched Zhang Yunyi and the Grand Elder charge into the formation from afar, their brows furrowed, faces grave.
"Gentlemen, we must personally join the battle to have any chance of defeating these three, especially the one who first charged in; his strength is too great, and without Spirit Transformation Realm experts personally intervening, we can't suppress him!"
A burly commander said in a deep voice.
"The prince is dead, and if we three also fall, the entire Blazing Flame Army will be leaderless, and the army will collapse!"
Another commander looked grave, hesitating internally.
All three were only at the Spirit Transformation Realm 1st Layer, and facing that strong one, they risked being slain.
"Don't worry, once they are exhausted and their True Essence depleted, we will strike and surely kill them!"
The burly commander said with burning eyes, "By tomorrow morning, Prince Ning should arrive, and if we kill these three and wipe out the Azure Light Sect before he does, it will be a great achievement."
"With the three of us combined, we'll first kill this one!"
The three commanders' eyes were fixed on Lin Xiao.
Their plan was simple: concentrate their strength to eliminate the strongest one.
However, after waiting for nearly an hour, that strong one remained invincible, showing no signs of exhaustion.
Meanwhile, the Blazing Flame Army had suffered heavy casualties, with over ten thousand slain.
The formation was continually torn apart and damaged, requiring constant reinforcement to maintain.
This left the three commanders with grim faces, both shocked and furious.
"We can't wait any longer; if we do, the army will be slaughtered to collapse!"
The burly commander gritted his teeth.
"Let's go!"
The three no longer hesitated, their figures rushing out.
Soon, they joined the formation, beginning to encircle Lin Xiao.
"Hmm? Three Spirit Transformation Realm 1st Layer!"
Lin Xiao's eyes flashed as he noticed the three Blazing Flame Army commanders joining the formation.
These three commanders had powerful auras, like beacons in the night, impossible for him not to notice.
"Good, let them come!"
Lin Xiao was not alarmed but delighted.
His goal in this battle was to kill the senior officers of the Blazing Flame Army, but there were too many soldiers for him to reach them.
Now, these three Spirit Transformation Realm 1st Layer senior officers had come to him, just as he wished.
Swish!
The short and stout commander was the first to attack, a sharp blade aura slashing towards Lin Xiao's head.
Being within the formation, drawing upon its energy, the short and stout commander, though only at the Spirit Transformation Realm 1st Layer, had his combat power elevated to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm 2nd Layer.
He was no weaker than Prince Zhennan.
"Die!"
"Kill!"
The other two commanders attacked from different directions, their blade auras crisscrossing, encircling Lin Xiao.
