Chapter 677: Reinforcements From The Li and Zhao Clans
Chapter 677: Reinforcements From The Li and Zhao Clans
Inside the Bai Clan, Bai Tianheng finally smiled.
He slowly raised his hand.
"Deactivate the formation."
The order immediately spread throughout the clan.
The enormous defensive barrier slowly dissolved into countless streams of spiritual light before disappearing completely.
The sudden disappearance of the barrier delighted the coalition forces.
"So they’ve finally given up!"
"They’ve exhausted the formation!"
Without another word, the coalition army charged forward.
Like a flood breaking through a dam, countless cultivators rushed toward the Bai Clan.
At the very same moment, Bai Tianheng slowly drew his weapon.
His calm voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
"Kill!"
Boom!
The Bai Clan gates burst open.
Countless Bai Clan experts surged forward like dragons leaving the sea.
The two great armies finally collided head-on.
Boom!
The instant the two armies collided, the entire battlefield descended into chaos.
Explosions echoed continuously across the sky.
Countless techniques illuminated the heavens as though thousands of stars had fallen upon the battlefield.
The coalition army possessed an overwhelming numerical advantage.
Wave after wave of cultivators surged relentlessly toward the Bai Clan.
Whenever one cultivator fell, another immediately took his place.
However, the moment the battle truly began, the coalition quickly discovered something unexpected.
The Bai Clan’s individual strength far exceeded their estimates.
Moreover, every Bai Clan cultivator seemed capable of fighting opponents above their cultivation realm.
Although greatly outnumbered, the Bai Clan showed no signs of being overwhelmed.
Instead, every charge launched by the coalition was met head-on.
Boom!
High above the battlefield, Bai Chu erupted into motion.
The moment he entered the battlefield, an Earth Immortal from the Tianyu Empire was immediately forced back.
Before the latter could stabilize himself, a brilliant sword light pierced through the sky.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
The Earth Immortal’s body exploded into countless fragments.
He had not even managed to exchange three moves.
Before the surrounding experts could recover from their shock—
Boom!
Bai Chu’s figure flashed once again.
Another Earth Immortal from the Azure Moon Empire was sent crashing toward the ground.
The moment he struck the earth, Bai Chu’s sword descended.
The Earth Immortal perished instantly.
Bai Chu moved across the battlefield like an unstoppable war god.
Within only a short time, several Earth Immortal experts had already fallen beneath his sword.
The coalition commanders’ expressions changed drastically.
"This monster..."
"Stop him!"
"If this continues, he’ll slaughter all of us!"
Without hesitation, more Earth Immortal experts rushed toward Bai Chu.
One...
Three...
Five...
Even that was not enough.
Only after ten Earth Immortal experts joined forces did Bai Chu’s terrifying momentum finally slow.
The ten surrounded him from every direction, unleashing their strongest techniques without holding anything back.
Even then, none of them dared become careless nor did they think they could kill him.
Simply keeping a Golden Immortal occupied was already an enormous achievement.
Meanwhile, battles erupted throughout every corner of the battlefield.
The coalition gradually realized another shocking fact.
The Bai Clan possessed far more Immortal Realm experts than they had anticipated.
However, reality proved otherwise.
Earth Immortals continuously emerged from within the Bai Clan.
Immortal Realm experts joined the battlefield one after another.
The battle gradually turned into a brutal war of attrition.
Still, the coalition army retained one undeniable advantage.
Numbers!
They possessed cultivators from four different empires.
Their total force exceeded the Bai Clan’s by several times.
Although the Bai Clan’s quality was superior, quantity itself eventually became a weapon.
The coalition commanders remained confident.
"As long as this continues..."
"The Bai Clan will eventually exhaust themselves."
"No matter how powerful they are, they cannot fight forever."
Many experts nodded in agreement.
The Bai Clan had indeed exceeded every expectation.
But in the end...
There were simply too many enemies.
As long as they continued pressing the attack without giving the Bai Clan a chance to recover...
Victory would eventually belong to the coalition or so they believed.
The battle continued to rage across the Bai Clan.
Explosions echoed endlessly.
Blood stained the earth.
Although the coalition still possessed the advantage in numbers, the fierce resistance of the Bai Clan had already exceeded every expectation.
Just then—
Rumble!
The sound of countless flying ships approaching suddenly echoed from the distance.
Everyone instinctively looked toward the horizon.
Rows upon rows of flying ships rapidly approached the battlefield.
The sudden appearance of the unknown force immediately alarmed both sides.
No one knew whose side the newcomers intended to support.
At the front of the coalition army, the commander of the Imperial Army narrowed his eyes.
Soon, he recognized the banners completely.
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
"So it’s them."
He immediately raised his hand.
"Don’t attack them!"
He thought that it might be reinforcement for the Bai Clan, but seeing the Li Clan and Zhao Clan banners, he felt relieved.
Before long, the Li Clan and Zhao Clan fleets arrived before the battlefield.
Leading them were several elders from both clans.
The commander looked toward them.
"What are you doing here?"
Although he knew that these two clans were allies, their unexpected appearance still kept him on guard.
One of the Zhao Clan elders immediately stepped forward.
He respectfully cupped his fists.
"We have come under His Highness Yu Zidi’s secret orders. Our mission is to assist the coalition army and destroy the Bai Clan."
Hearing those words, the commander’s final trace of suspicion disappeared.
After all, everyone in the Desolate Heaven Empire knew that the Li Clan and Zhao Clan had been sworn enemies of the Bai Clan for countless years.
Moreover, he was well aware that both clans secretly supported Yu Zidi.
It wasn’t strange for Yu Zidi to summon them at such a crucial moment.
Looking at the current battlefield, the commander couldn’t help but nod inwardly.
Although the coalition still held the advantage, the Bai Clan’s strength had greatly exceeded their expectations.
Every additional ally would reduce their losses and increase their chances of success.
His expression softened considerably.
"Very well! Join the attack immediately."
The Li Clan and Zhao Clan elders nodded.
Without another word, their armies immediately advanced.
Countless cultivators surged toward the battlefield.
Seeing this, many coalition experts smiled.
With the Li Clan and Zhao Clan joining them, the Bai Clan would undoubtedly collapse.
The Li Clan and Zhao Clan forces rapidly approached the center of the battlefield.
Soon, both armies had entered the coalition’s formation.
Many coalition cultivators even moved aside, allowing their supposed allies to pass.
No one guarded against them.
After all, who would suspect their own reinforcements?
Then—
The eyes of the Li Clan and Zhao Clan cultivators suddenly turned cold.
"Attack!"
The roar exploded across the battlefield.
Shing!
Thousands of weapons were unsheathed simultaneously.
However, those blades did not slash toward the Bai Clan.
Instead, they turned toward the completely unsuspecting coalition army.
Blood instantly filled the sky.
One coalition cultivator after another was cut down before they could even react.
Several Immortal Realm cultivators were pierced straight through the chest.
Immortal Realm experts had their heads severed before they even understood what was happening.
The sudden betrayal instantly threw the coalition army into complete chaos.
"What?!"
"They’re attacking us!"
"Li Clan! Zhao Clan! Have you all gone mad?!"
Panicked cries echoed everywhere.
The commander of the Imperial Army stared blankly at the scene before him.
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"What are you doing?!"
His furious roar shook the battlefield.
"Have the Li Clan and Zhao Clan betrayed the Desolate Heaven Empire?!"
The leading elder of the Zhao Clan merely smiled coldly.
His eyes were filled with killing intent. His Qi erupted violently.
"You can ask that in hell!"
Boom!
His attack instantly blasted an unsuspecting Earth Immortal backward.
At almost the same moment, the Li Clan experts also launched their fiercest attacks.
Because the coalition had never expected betrayal, countless experts died before they could even raise their defenses.
The battlefield was instantly thrown into disorder.
Originally, the coalition army had barely managed to suppress the Bai Clan through sheer numbers.
Now, not only had those numbers suddenly shrunk, but another two Great Clans had joined the Bai Clan’s side.
The balance of the battlefield overturned almost instantly.
The coalition’s numerical advantage disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Instead, they found themselves surrounded from both the front and the rear.
The hunters had become the hunted!
