Chapter 430: 223: Slaying the Inborn Formation

Translator: 549690339

If given the choice, no one would wish to fight to the death with others.

Especially for someone like Gui Lianyun, an Inborn Grandmaster, with a high status and plenty of years left to live, who hasn’t enjoyed enough wealth and honor. Who would willingly engage in a life-or-death battle with others?

But there is no choice.

At this moment, the Yue people have attacked their doorstep. As the defending general of Guining, if he were to lose this position, his army would be humiliated, and even his Inborn Grandmaster status would not be enough to explain himself to the court.

Therefore, at this time, even if unwilling, he could only clench his teeth and face the situation head-on.

Fortunately, with his strength, even if fighting desperately, he could still hold on.

“However, this time my vitality will be severely damaged, shortening my lifespan by several years.”

Gui Lianyun sighed in his heart, then clenched his teeth and angrily rushed out of the city gate. As he opened his eyes and scanned the area, he quickly spotted the extremely eye-catching war chariot that was rampaging everywhere.

There’s no need to say more.

Seeing a formidable foe face to face only heightens one’s animosity.

Gui Lianyun immediately employed a secret technique. Instantly, a long sword appeared in the air, shining with a dazzling white light and carrying a sharp sword aura, as it rushed towards the lotus flower.

This time, as revenge for his previous defeat, Gui Lianyun showed no restraint and used a deadly killing move when making his first attack.

Now that he was forced to fight desperately and had to shorten his lifespan…

Having paid such a heavy price, Gui Lianyun had grievances in his heart.

If he was going to suffer, then this bandit, who had forced him to fight desperately, also shouldn’t expect to escape unscathed.

This time, he not only intended to repel the opponent but also to inflict severe damage on them.

He wanted to ensure that this Yue Martial Proclamation Marquis would be unable to take action for several months.

Only in this way could he repay the heavy price he had paid.

Therefore, this sword’s momentum was unstoppable, displaying the blade’s sharpness to the fullest. There was a strong feeling that it would determine life and death in a single strike.

At the moment when Gui Lianyun’s sword aura flew out, Yang Jing sensed the danger.

Looking back, he saw that a white sword aura was coming towards him. Even though he had the protection of the White Lotus Guard, he still felt a faint stabbing pain.

There was no need for more words. In just an instant, Yang Jing realized that it was the great Zhou Pillar State’s Grand General in the city who had come to fight him.

Upon understanding this, he felt both joy and shock.

The joy was that his goal had been achieved, and he had successfully lured Gui Lianyun over. The shock was that the other party’s attack was so fierce that it seemed intent on fighting him to the death.

Gui Lianyun was older than Yang Jing and was more unwilling to lose his life in a fight to the death than Yang Jing.

Yang Jing, who was only in his forties, had a hundred years left to live, and thus was even more unwilling to fight others to the death.

Therefore, upon noticing Gui Lianyun’s intention, the Martial Proclamation Marquis’s heart was greatly alarmed, and his sweeping momentum instantly dissipated as he drove the war chariot violently.

In an instant, the initially scattered lotus petals surrounding him gathered together, forming a thick flower bud that enveloped his entire body.

When the last petal closed, Yang Jing’s heart instantly settled.

The Yang Family’s Inheritance of the Clear Water Lotus Secret was the world’s strongest defensive technique.

With layers of lotus petals guarding him, even when facing Gui Lianyun’s sharpest sword aura, Yang Jing didn’t have too much fear in his heart.

He had confidence that, if he faced Gui Lianyun head-on, he might not be able to defeat him.

However, for Gui Lianyun to break through his defense was also not so simple.

At worst, they would just have to continue this stalemate.

After all, there were attacks on the other three city gates.

As long as he held back Gui Lianyun here, the North and South cities would face the attacks of Inborn Grandmasters, and without equivalent experts to block them, the cities would eventually fall.

Time was on his side, so Yang Jing could slowly wear down Gui Lianyun.

However, while he could afford to stall, Gui Lianyun did not have the luxury of time.

As mentioned earlier, facing this crisis, the Zhou’s Pillar State’s Grand General had to end the battle within half an hour and then rush to the South City.

Thus, facing Yang Jing’s deliberate delay, Gui Lianyun single-mindedly urged his sword aura to slash the turtle shell, splashing up countless lotus petals and desperately trying to pierce the lotus’s interior.

Meanwhile, Yang Jing was doing his utmost to drive his true pneuma, quickly repairing any damaged petals outside the lotus.

So two Inborn Grandmasters, one desperately attacking and one desperately defending, were locked in a stalemate.

However, if one looked closely, it could still be seen that the damage caused by the sword aura to the lotus flower was greater than the repair of the petals.

At this point, neither side could overwhelm the other. However, it was inevitable that Gui Lianyun would ultimately overpower Yang Jing after a long period of time.

But it was impossible to see who would win or lose within a short period of time.

While the two of them were at a complete stalemate,

the Zhou soldiers in the West City camp, who had originally been scattered and fleeing due to Yang Jing’s attack, now saw the arrival of their commander and the fact that he had managed to hold back the ferocious enemy and even appeared to have the upper hand. Their morale couldn’t help but surge.

Soon after, under the leadership of the elite soldiers brought by Gui Lianyun, they counterattacked the Yue soldiers who were gradually pouring into the camp and tried to take back the lost camp zone.

Instantly, not only Yang Jing and Gui Lianyun,

but the fierce battle between the lower-level soldiers also unfolded.

It wasn’t just here.

Just as the West City was in the midst of fierce fighting, colorful poisonous smoke accompanied the fluttering figure of a beautiful woman at the South City camp, continuously weaving through the Zhou soldiers.

Wherever the beautiful figure passed, colorful smokes swirled in the air, then large groups of Zhou soldiers fell with green and black faces.

Just like cutting rice.

As the colorful smoke passed by, people fell down.

In just a short period of time, more than a thousand soldiers in the South City camp fell under the poisonous smoke.

Such a horrifying death toll immediately caused panic among the Zhou soldiers and a wave of collapses ensued.
