Chapter 1543: The Despairing Great Generals

“Great General Ling Ming!” The expressions of the remaining eight Great Generals all changed drastically.

They had never imagined that the first casualty of this battle would be a member of their own ranks!

Even without the help of the combination spell formation, Great Generals of the Heaven Pioneer Stage were almost invincible against opponents below the Dao Integration Stage. Now, however, one of them had been killed by a team of three Return to Void Stage cultivators. This made them all feel a sense of utter humiliation.

Great General Shi Hua continually threw pieces of golden rocks toward the three beautiful males and females in front of her. These pieces of golden rocks were like cannonballs, and they all possessed a terrifying might.

If one was accidentally hit by these golden rocks, then both their body and soul would be instantly obliterated.

However, Su Qianyun remained unafraid in the face of such danger. She appeared unnaturally calm as she continually evaded the rocks and escaped unharmed from her brushes with death.

Her Moonlight Disc came and went like a shadow, and it carved out numerous spine-chilling arcs in the void as it swept toward Great General Shi Hua from all kinds of peculiar angles.

Once Su Qianyun entered her battle mode, she wouldn’t be afraid of anyone!

However, Great General Shi Hua was no easy opponent either. Faced with the surprise attacks of the Moonlight Disc, she could always perform extremely graceful movement techniques and successfully evade the attacks. Her movements were breathtaking, and she was like a beautiful flower that was dancing in the wind.

Boom!

The air beside her suddenly exploded!

A true intent of wanting to blow up the heavens was contained within the raging destructive energy of the explosion.

Great General Shi Hua appeared a little disheveled as she retreated. When faced with Su Qianyun’s attacks, she could perform elegant movement techniques. When faced with Xuanyuan Cheng’s crude explosions, however, there was little that she could do. Moreover, his explosive attacks infuriated her immensely!

As she retreated, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared on a flying shard of rock.

A slender and refined female leaped out from the shard of rock, and her Sword to Send You Safely On Your Way carved out a brilliant silver path as it stabbed toward Great General Shi Hua’s chest.

This strike was as quick as lightning.

Not only that, but it also possessed a devastating killing intent!

Great General Shi Hua humphed and made a clenching motion with her hands. The void distorted and compressed, and a tremendous heavenly will forced the dagger to a halt.

Boom!

Ye Ling was blasted backward. However, she quickly vanished from the battlefield again. No one knew where she was hiding. At this moment, Su Qianyun’s attacks swept toward Great General Shi Hua once more…

Initially, the three of them had been no match for Great General Shi Hua. Thanks to the suppressive abilities of their Heaven Crushing Techniques, however, they were now able to fight on even grounds with her.

This was also the reason why almost every powerful being in the Kingdom of the Nine States joined the Heaven Crushing Sect. They were willing to make sacrifices as long as they could fight against the Heavenly Human Tribe and defend the Kingdom of the Nine States!

This battle wasn’t a one-sided affair as the Great Generals had thought it would be.

At this moment, they finally realized just how naive and arrogant their utterances had been. For example, exterminate the enemies within one minute and head over to aid the Heavenly Gods after crushing the Return to Void Stage enemies…

Right now, they still hadn’t killed a single enemy. Meanwhile, their enemy had already slain one of their Great Generals!

…

Great General Wu Ma considered dealing with the two weaklings before him as quickly as possible so that he could head over to assist his fellow Great Generals. His opponents appeared to be the weakest members of the enemy camp.

Before him were two of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Return to Void Stage sword immortals—Sun Yuluo and Yao Mingxi.

Slap!

Great General Wu Ma slapped aside Yao Mingxi’s sword strike before turning around to throw a punch. Sun Yuluo, who was standing behind him, spat blood as he was sent flying backward.

Wu Ma stamped his feet, and he instantly flashed toward Sun Yuluo like a streak of light. White lightning crackled around one of his hands, and he was just about to press it down toward Sun Yuluo’s head.

It was evident that he planned on insta-killing his enemy.

“Little Meng!” Sun Yuluo cried for help, and the ancient sword in his hand suddenly lit up with vibrant colors.

A blue-colored child instantly materialized next to Wu Ma and stuck his long, flexible tongue out. The child’s tongue curled around Wu Ma’s neck, and a bone-chilling voice also crept into his ear at the same time.

“Your head fell off… Aren’t you going to pick it up?”

Wu Ma instinctively felt as if his head were genuinely at his feet upon hearing this eerie voice. He looked down, yet all he saw was a little boy’s uncanny smiling face.

Meanwhile, the ancient sword hacked down toward Great General Wu Ma’s neck with a terrifying speed. It seemed as though his head was truly going to be lopped off by the ancient sword!

Instilling fear and then assassinating the enemy was the Blue Dream Sword Spirit’s signature technique!

However, he had underestimated Great General Wu Ma’s strength. As the ancient sword fell, Great General Wu Ma recovered from his daze and formed a golden shell armor around his vulnerable neck.

Dazzling sparks flew through the air as the ancient sword slashed into the hard shell armor.

Wu Ma grabbed onto the little boy’s tongue and forcefully snapped it in half. Then, he clenched his hand into a fist and punched toward the Blue Dream Sword Spirit’s head!

“Little Meng!” Sun Yuluo cried out in shock as he stumbled backward.

The Blue Dream Sword Spirit was eventually smashed into smithereens by Great General Wu Ma.

Meanwhile, Yao Mingxi raised his sword and slashed toward Wu Ma once more.

A layer of shell armor had formed on Wu Ma’s palm as well, and unexpectedly, he was able to bare-handedly catch the sword strike, which had produced a sword intent of over five kilometers! Yao Mingxi’s heart almost skipped a beat. At this moment, Wu Ma cut down with his other arm, and he instantly severed Yao Mingxi’s sword-wielding arm!

“Ahhh!” Yao Mingxi howled in agony as he stumbled backward. Bright-red blood poured from his severed arm.

Sun Yuluo charged over once more, yet his bones and tendons were all snapped by Wu Ma’s devastating punch. He vomited large mouthfuls of blood as he collapsed to the floor in a heap.

“Humph! How stubborn.” Wu Ma raised his fist as he shot a glance at the two collapsed males. He was just about to strike Sun Yuluo and send him into the afterlife.

Right at this moment, however, a formidable blood sword stabbed down from the sky!

Wu Ma’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately formed an armor to defend against the attack.

The assailant was the maniac who had killed Great General Ling Ming, and he definitely couldn’t remain complacent against her!

As if finding a savior, Sun Yuluo was almost moved to tears. “Cassidy, you’re finally here to help us!”

Their team didn’t have a supreme being of the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, and they weren’t freaks like Xuanyuan Cheng or Ye Ling either. Thus, he and Yao Mingxi were both risking their lives in order to hold the Great General back!

Fortunately, Cassidy had killed the Great General that she was facing and was able to arrive here in time. Otherwise, he and Yao Mingxi were definitely done for!

…

On some other battlefield.

Xiao Hong trembled in fear as she hid inside her artificial sun.

Outside, Great General Qi Nan furiously attacked the protective barrier of her sun.

This was the first time that Xiao Hong had acted so cowardly. This couldn’t be helped though, as it was the first time that she had come across an opponent who was as powerful as a newly ranked-up Dao Integration Stage cultivator. She didn’t dare face him head-on at all!

A short while later, Da Bai and Merlin finally arrived to help her.

Seeing them arrive, Xiao Hong finally dared to use her artificial sun to attack Great General Qi Nan…

Meanwhile, the Fist Sage was barely hanging on against another Great General. He was the strongest Return to Void Stage cultivator under Nuwa’s command, and as such, he was just powerful enough to fight against a Great General of the Heavenly Human Tribe. At the very least, he wasn’t in any great danger of dying.

As for Bai Ling, she was pummeling a Great General all by herself. It was almost like she was playing with a toy.

Tina was even more impressive. She was currently chasing after three Great Generals of the Heavenly Human Tribe!
