Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1683 - 1673: Urgent Situation in the Ancient City of Taihuang
Chapter 1683: Chapter 1673: Urgent Situation in the Ancient City of Taihuang
"How about it, were you stunned by the dashing figure of Lord Ye?"
The Black Dragon’s chubby appearance was quite adorable when he smiled, but no matter how you looked at it, those eyes did not match his cute demeanor.
"Handsome... cough cough..."
Long Yan cleared his throat twice before saying, "I thought you were a donkey that had leapt out of some sheep herd."
The Black Dragon looked nothing like what Long Yan had imagined. The difference was too great.
"You must be jealous of Lord Ye. Don’t try to hide it; I’ve already seen through you."
The Black Dragon said with an air of self-satisfaction, clearly very pleased with his appearance.
Draped in a purple-gold robe with slightly curled golden hair, he radiated an aura of nobility.
Long Yan rolled his eyes at the Black Dragon, too lazy to entertain his arrogance.
"It looks like you’ve successfully merged with the Demon Dragon Arm, haven’t you?"
Long Yan asked.
The Black Dragon was able to transform into a human shape, which must have been due to the merger with the Demon Dragon Arm. With the Black Dragon’s capabilities, it was natural for him to earn the Demon Dragon Arm’s recognition without much difficulty.
"Of course. Lord Ye’s abilities reach heaven and penetrate earth. If you hadn’t interrupted my cultivation, I would be ascending to the God-transcending Tribulation right away."
The Black Dragon said with an air of assumed superiority, full of pride.
"Good. You come with me to the Ancient City of Taihuang. It’s time you did something for the Zhenyang Sect."
Long Yan spoke.
If he didn’t make the Black Dragon contribute, he would feel uneasy about it.
"The Demon clan has pressed on to the Ancient City of Taihuang?"
The Black Dragon was somewhat surprised, then he added teasingly, "Is it because the Zhenyang Sect can’t hold out any longer that you’ve come to beg Lord Ye for help?"
"Get lost!"
Long Yan glared at the Black Dragon irritably before walking away.
"Kid, what kind of attitude is that? I’m telling you, you better be more respectful, or else, Lord Ye won’t help you."
"Hey, kid, don’t go, stop!"
...........
"Yan’er, you hold down the fort at Zhenyang Sect while I go to the Ancient City of Taihuang."
Within the Courtyard, Long Chengtian said to Long Yan.
As the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect, Long Yan was the most suitable person to take charge during this time.
"Dad, I’ll go to the Ancient City of Taihuang myself. I want to see the Demon Clan’s capabilities firsthand. Xian’er is still in closed-door cultivation, and Ancestor has not yet recovered. I will feel at ease with you holding down Zhenyang Sect."
Long Yan spoke.
With tens of thousands of Demon Clan soldiers nearing the Ancient City of Taihuang, going there himself would be more reassuring.
Zhenyang Sect couldn’t afford to be left vulnerable at such a time; Long Chengtian was the best candidate.
"Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say more. Just be careful."
Long Chengtian said.
"Don’t worry. I still have the Dragon God Ancient City under my control. If I really can’t hold them off, I definitely won’t go easy!"
Long Yan asserted.
This was also why he decided to go personally to the Ancient City of Taihuang.
The next day, Long Yan led the Great Army of Zhenyang Sect toward the Ancient City of Taihuang. The forces comprised a staggering one hundred thousand disciples, and among them were the Evil Emperor, Mad Emperor, Profound Demon Venerable, Blood Mad Butcher, Qiu Canfeng, Purple Blood Jiao Dragon, Spirit Girl, and others.
"Sect Leader, we just received news from the Ancient City of Taihuang: the great army of the Demon Clan has already approached the city. Prison Law Venerate and Beimo Wilderness Venerable have activated the city’s Great Formation, but I’m afraid it won’t hold for much longer."
Tu Longzhen spoke to Long Yan.
Upon learning that the Demon Clan’s great army was nearing the Ancient City of Taihuang, both Prison Law Venerate and Beimo Wilderness Venerable from the Zhenyang Sect had gone to defend the city. Yang Qishuan, Tianluo Head Teacher, Qiankun Building Master, and others also made their way there.
Facing the hundreds of thousands of the Demon Clan’s army, even with the City Defending Array, it was estimated that the defenses could not hold out for long.
"The Demon Clan sure moves fast!"
Long Yan nodded slightly, then said to the Evil Emperor, Mad Emperor, and Profound Demon Venerable, "Three Supreme Elders, lead the great army to the Ancient City of Taihuang as fast as possible. I will go ahead to the city to assess the situation."
After speaking, Long Yan directly tore through space and took off, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye, with the Black Dragon following him.
......
The Ancient City of Taihuang.
In the city, mountains and ranges sat amidst clusters of buildings, with towering architecture densely packed, signifying a thriving metropolis.
As one of the core cities of the Zhenyang Sect, the Ancient City of Taihuang held a critical position, like a general clad in armor, guarding the sect’s borders.
However, at this moment, the entire city was on edge. Outside the city, the Demon Clan’s great army of several hundreds of thousands had completely encircled the Ancient City of Taihuang and was frantically attacking the City Defending Array.
Inside the city, Xing Yu and Beimo Wilderness Venerable, along with Yang Qishuan and others, were fully committed to sustaining the City Defending Array, their last line of defense.
The lives of millions were tied to the fate of the Ancient City of Taihuang, and if the city were to fall, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Sin Law Venerate, the Demon Clan’s assault is too fierce. With our strength, we can hold at most for one more day."
In the high sky, Beimo Wilderness Venerable sat cross-legged below the City Defending Array, continuously casting Mysterious Seals with his hands, endlessly channeling energy into the Formation.
Xing Yu was also seated not far away, channeling energy into the Formation without pause.
"To hold out for even a moment longer is a moment’s gain. The Sect Leader will surely come to our aid."
Sweat appeared on Xing Yu’s forehead as the exertion took its toll, and he struggled to keep up with the consumption.
The Demon Clan’s offensive was too fierce, and the City Defending Array was on the verge of collapse. They had even used the foundations of the Ancient City of Taihuang to support it, but it would not hold for much longer.
"Let’s hope no God-transcending Tribulation experts appear from the Demon Clan!"
Beimo Wilderness Venerable muttered softly, his expression grave.
If the Demon Clan unleashed the power of crossing the Divine Tribulation, the City Defending Array would undoubtedly fail to withstand.
However, as soon as Beimo Wilderness Venerable’s words had finished, hundreds of Demonic Clan powerhouses flew over from the rear of the Demon Clan’s great army, and soon arrived in front of the Ancient City of Taihuang.
"This is bad, the Demon Clan has sent God-transcending Tribulation experts!"
Beimo Wilderness Venerable’s complexion changed drastically.
These hundreds of Demonic Clan powerhouses all possessed strengths of at least the late stages of the Emperor Realm, and there were quite a few at the Emperor Realm Peak. In particular, the few leading experts exuded a breath that reached the heights of crossing the God Disaster, with the one at the forefront possessing the power of at least the Second Divine Calamity.
"This is terrible!"
Xing Yu also had a drastic change in his expression, his gaze becoming intensely grave.
His greatest fear was the Demon Clan deploying the power of crossing the Divine Tribulation, and now his biggest fear had come to pass.
If the experts of the Divine Tribulation made their move, the City Defending Array would simply not be able to hold, which meant the Ancient City of Taihuang was doomed to fall.
"What do we do?"
Beimo Wilderness Venerable asked.
"We have no other choice, even if it means sacrificing our lives, we cannot let the City Defending Array be breached. To hold out for even a moment longer is to gain a moment more. Let’s hope we can sustain until the Sect Leader arrives."
Xing Yu gritted his teeth, already prepared to sacrifice his life.
He was aware of the importance of the Ancient City of Taihuang. Even at the cost of his own life, he had to protect the city.
The situation in the Ancient City of Taihuang was extremely critical.
