Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2179 Chapter 1021: Siege Defense Battle

The next day, the Taixu Gate's duel against the Heavenly Sword Sect in the Earth Character Bureau began.

Outside the Mount of Tao, there was still a sea of people, but compared to before, there were noticeably fewer cultivators watching the battle.

They found it dull.

The strongest team of the Taixu Gate had consecutively lost in the sword duel of the Earth Character Bureau with poor performance and almost no impressive actions.

Many people no longer held any expectations.

What's more, this sword duel was a defensive struggle, pitting them against the top sword cultivator sect - the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Heavenly Sword Sect inherited the ancient Heavenly Sword Technique.

This Heavenly Sword Technique is one of the most superior sword techniques in the Qian Learning State Boundary, and its power is quite terrifying.

Letting the Heavenly Sword Sect take the offensive, allowing their sword qi to slaughter, throughout the entire Qian Learning State Boundary, even the Longding Sect of the Four Great Sects or the Vajra Sect of the Eight Great Gates, these two body refinement sects famous for defense, can hardly manage.

Not to mention the mere Taixu Gate.

There's not a truly top-notch body cultivator in the Taixu Gate.

Furthermore, there's also the 'easy to shatter Mo Hua.

In the minds of most cultivators, this is a sword duel with almost no winning chance and nothing interesting to watch.

The Taixu Gate disadvantage is a disadvantage compounded upon disadvantage, a sure loss.

Of course, among the audience, there are still some who.

But their expectation is the hope that the Heavenly Sword Sect can catch Mo Hua's flaw and, in this sword duel, cut Mo Hua down with a single sword.

This is a straightforward hope.

"Want to witness Mo Hua die once."

Starting from the Xuan Character Bureau, no, even from the initial

preliminaries of the Yellow Character Bureau, this has already become an obsession in the hearts of many spectators.

They seek nothing else, completely driven by this obsession, lured by this one breath, to see Mo Hua's sword duel.

No way around it, Mo Hua this brat has committed numerous misdeeds, infuriating to the extreme.

Without dying once, it's hard for people to achieve mental peace.

On the Shangguan Family's high platform.

Yu Er also put his head down occasionally and reluctantly looked up, peeking at the imagery on the screen.

He was afraid to watch.

In the sword duel of the Xuan Character Bureau, Brother Mo made a bunch of 'big idiots' dance to his tune, and Yu Er was very entertained.

But in the sword duel of the Earth Character Bureau, Brother Mo kept losing.

Watching one match was hard enough; he really didn't want to watch anymore. But since it's Brother Mo's match, he couldn't bear not to watch.

What if he wins?

If he doesn't watch, wouldn't it be a pity?

Yu Er frowned, clutching the corner of his clothes, straining his little face, forcing himself to watch the imagery on the screen.

Besides Yu Er, Mo Hua's 'family and friends' like Wenren Wan, Gu Changhuai, Zhang Lan, Murong Caiyun, and Hua Qianqian were somewhat more composed.

Initially losing was a bit heart-wrenching, but as the losses accumulated, they became accustomed to it.

Victory and defeat are common in military matters.

Although they hoped Mo Hua would win, they also understood that human

power has its limits and some things are simply impossible.

After all, this is the Qianxue Debate, filled with countless prodigies.

Mo Hua reaching this level is already impressive.

Therefore, they came merely to support Mo Hua.

Moreover, this sword duel's situation, they could roughly see clearly in their

hearts, so they were prepared and didn't hold much expectation.

And the situation quickly confirmed most people's guesses.

The Taixu Gate retreated step by step from the start.

This was a defensive and offensive confrontation, simulated like 'siege war' and 'defensive war' in Tao cultivation warfare.

Heavenly Sword Sect played the role of attackers, while Taixu Gate defended.

Of course, the format was 'simplified.'

After all, the sword duel involves only five participants, unlike real Tao cultivation wars that often involve thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of cultivators in grand offensive and defensive battles, serving only as a simple 'prototype' for the disciples to compete and practice

through sword duel.

There wasn't an actual 'city'

In the sword duel arena, a 'camp' was built, divided into outer and inner cities using walls, and within the inner city, a 'City Lord' statue was erected.

The attackers had to break the outer city, enter the inner city, and finally

destroy the City Lord statue.

The defenders needed to protect the statue.

The siege war had a time limit.

Within four hours, if the fortress was breached, the attackers win. If the

fortress was held, the defenders win.

And the Taixu Gate had to endure two hours under the sword qi assault of the

Heavenly Sword Sect.

This wasn't so simple.

The so-called guarding the outer city, in simple terms, means guarding the 'city

gate.'

The outer city had two city gates that required people to guard.

The inner city had one city gate that needed to be guarded.

Thus, manpower was scattered, which was fatal for a team like Taixu Gate with

'incomplete' lineup.

The key was still Mo Hua.

This duel further exposed Mo Hua's shortcomings as a 'Spiritual Cultivator!

Even before the sword duel began, someone spotted this:

"In this type of duel, this Mo Hua is completely useless."

"Anyway, I can't imagine what use he could be..."

"In siege war, a direct confrontation leaves no room for speculation..."

"No matter how good his concealment technique is, others simply ignore him."

"No matter how good his movement technique is, he can only escape, but this

is defending a city, where can he escape to?"

"Low-level Five Elements Spells can't defend against the sword qi of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"His brittle little frame, even if he tries to block, is merely a single sword

strike..."

"No use at all, I think he'd better squat in the inner city as soon as the battle

starts and rely on his teammates to drag out the time..."

"Anyway, the win or loss has nothing to do with him..."

Someone said mockingly.

As the sword duel began, the imagery on the screen showed. People discovered that Mo Hua indeed did what they said, without considering

anything, went right to squat behind the inner city wall, turning his back to everyone, sneakingly doing something unknown, looking somewhat 'sneaky...
