CHAPTER 1914: CHAPTER 1914: GET OUT HERE!

At this moment, Fire Python Peak, located ten thousand miles away from Green Bamboo Sect, was undergoing relentless and continuous assaults by tens of thousands of powerful figures from Fire Python Sect.

To breach Fire Python Peak’s defenses early and massacre hundreds of villagers from Luoxia Village, tens of thousands of Fire Python Sect warriors, under the command of Fire Python Sect Master Shi Chengjin, fell into a frenzy, unleashing their full force with each wave of attack.

And the defensive array set by Fang Bai would violently tremble with each attack, as if it were about to shatter and collapse in the next moment.

Without Fang Bai here, hundreds of villagers from Luoxia Village seemed to have lost their backbone. Whenever the formation shook violently, they would become anxious and worried.

However, Dragon Maiden, Zhuge Lian, and Huo Hai remained relatively calm.

According to Fang Bai’s instructions before he left, as soon as they discovered that the defensive array was shaking beyond a certain limit, they would inject the spirit stones from their Space Rings into the array patterns surrounding the peak to maintain the formation’s normal operation, preventing it from being breached too quickly.

Beneath the Sect Master Hall of Fire Python Sect behind them lay the place where the sect had accumulated cultivation resources for thousands of years, filled with countless Spirit Stones, ensuring they wouldn’t run out.

As per Fang Bai’s estimate, even if the disciples of Fire Python Sect attacked with full force, this defensive array could hold out for at least half a month, and Dragon Maiden, Zhuge Lian, and others wouldn’t be in danger during this period.

"Everyone, don’t worry! Fang Bai has gone to seek reinforcements and should be back soon!"

Seeing some villagers looking worried and anxious, Dragon Maiden shouted loudly.

Zhuge Lian also said, "No matter what, Fang Bai would never abandon us! I believe, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, Brother Fang will return with reinforcements!"

As she spoke, Dragon Maiden sensed something and looked towards the southern sky, where several figures were speeding towards them like meteors.

Although still far away, Dragon Maiden already felt Fang Bai’s presence, knowing that among those figures, Fang Bai must be there.

"He’s back! Fang Bai is back!"

Dragon Maiden couldn’t help but shout with joy, then let out a sigh of relief.

Once Fang Bai returned, he could bear all the burdens for them, and all they had to do was silently support him from behind.

Huo Hai and other villagers of Luoxia Village also looked up at the southern sky. Seeing that there weren’t as many reinforcements as they imagined, a few showed signs of disappointment in their eyes.

In their view, Fang Bai coming with only a few "reinforcements" couldn’t possibly stand against the tens of thousands of powerful fighters from Fire Python Sect.

"This is..."

Even Huo Hai felt a sense of absurdity when he saw Fang Bai returning with only a handful of people.

He thought Fang Bai would bring hundreds to thousands of reinforcements, even if not as numerous as Fire Python Sect’s disciples, but what he saw was pitifully few.

"Unless those are all ninth-level heavenly tribulation experts, otherwise facing over ten thousand strong fighters from Fire Python Sect, they might as well be courting death."

Huo Hai lamented in his heart.

The villagers of Luoxia Village, including Huo Hai, couldn’t sense the aura of Zhongli Tian and other powerful figures from Green Bamboo Sect, so they had no way to know their strength. They assumed that since they were Fang Bai’s friends, their strength would not surpass Fang Bai by much, perhaps seventh or eighth-level heavenly tribulation at most.

Though experts of seventh and eighth-level heavenly tribulation were definitely powerful, in this situation, their impact would clearly be minimal, not enough to stop the attack from over ten thousand Fire Python Sect warriors.

Meanwhile, Fire Python Sect Master Shi Chengjin had felt the aura of Fang Bai and others early on. Among those accompanying Fang Bai, there were four experts of eighth-level heavenly tribulation, two comparable to himself, and one whose strength he couldn’t even discern, which shocked him greatly.

"Could that short, lean elder be a Demi Immortal?"

Shi Chengjin looked towards Zhongli Tian from afar, unable to fathom where Fang Bai had found such powerful allies.

In that instant, Shi Chengjin felt an urge to flee.

If only Zhongli Tian had come, Shi Chengjin could have joined forces with tens of thousands of Fire Python Sect disciples to possibly confront him. But now, accompanying Zhongli Tian were two ninth-level heavenly tribulation experts and four eighth-level experts. If they attacked from different directions with him as the target, then the ten thousand disciples of Fire Python Sect were completely defenseless.

If they first killed him, the tens of thousands of powerful figures in Fire Python Sect would lose their fighting spirit, pushing the sect to the brink of collapse.

Shi Chengjin shivered at this thought.

Yet immediately, he remembered the powerful backing of Fire Python Sect, which boosted his confidence once more.

He planned that should Zhongli Tian and others intervene, he would invoke this backing to intimidate them, making them hesitate to go too far.

Shi Chengjin didn’t believe that anyone would dare oppose a super sect like the Light Sect.

In an instant, Fang Bai, Zhongli Tian, and others arrived near Fire Python Peak.

"Who is the Fire Python Sect Master? Get out here!"

On his first glance upon arrival, Zhongli Tian could tell who were the disciples of Fire Python Sect and gave a light shout towards their densest section.

Though his was a light shout, to those Fire Python Sect disciples, it was like thunderclaps beside their ears, shaking their blood and making their eardrums roar. Some couldn’t withstand it and bled through their seven orifices, falling from the sky.

Even the powerful Shi Chengjin staggered, nearly losing his balance.

"Turns out he really is a Demi Immortal!"

Shi Chengjin’s face turned pale, his expression changing as he struggled to maintain his composure, stepping out from the crowd to float dozens of feet away from Zhongli Tian.

"I am Shi Chengjin, the Fire Python Sect Master. May I know how I can assist the esteemed senior?"

Shi Chengjin cupped his hands in salute, his demeanor respectful.

Though he had strong backing, Shi Chengjin dared not disrespect Zhongli Tian since Zhongli Tian’s strength could easily suppress him. If he angered Zhongli Tian, and he acted recklessly, Shi Chengjin wouldn’t escape with his life.

One must bow under the eaves.

Shi Chengjin understood this proverbial logic.

Although he had backing, it wasn’t present at the scene, and if provoked, it would be him who suffered.

Zhongli Tian glanced at Shi Chengjin, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, shouting sternly, "Are you the Fire Python Sect Master? Very well, prepare to die!"

With a swift green flash, the Immortal Sword Fang Bai had given to Zhongli Tian was unsheathed, swift as lightning, tearing through space and air, shooting towards Shi Chengjin.

Even though the Immortal Sword could only unleash the battle power of a half-immortal level spiritual artifact, wielded by Zhongli Tian at half-immortal rank, its thrust seemed to pierce through the void, unstoppable and shockingly fierce.

With Fang Bai’s Immortal Sword as support, Zhongli Tian feared not the backing of Fire Python Sect and had no apprehensions about destroying it.

Shi Chengjin didn’t expect Zhongli Tian to attack so resolutely. Seeing the sword strike, he realized he couldn’t block it by his own power, terrified to the core.

In his panic and fright, regardless of anything else, Shi Chengjin waved both hands to either side, immediately grabbing several elite disciples of Fire Python Sect with his Spirit Qi Big Palm, hurling them into the path of the Immortal Sword’s thrust.
