C85

The Southern Battlefield had only officially begun on the Mu He front line, and the battle had already reached a rather desperate state.

The Western barbarians had come prepared. Mu He said that they would be the first line, but he didn't connect them like that. The cities were scattered, but fortunately, the second-rate cities along the Mu He Line were only about twenty to thirty miles apart.

If the Western barbarians wanted to attack one city, they would have to face reinforcements sent by the other cities. Such a passive situation was something the Western barbarians did not want, and it was the same for any attack.

This would force the enemy to disperse their forces and attack. The battlefield would be pulled apart and the Western barbarians would be blocked outside the river line.

In fact, this kind of arrangement was naturally very good for a small portion of the troops, but there were simply too many of them from the Western and Southern Tribes. The hooks they wore were not only able to deal with the warriors' movement techniques, but also the weapons to attack the city.

Mu He Line Deep Sea Sect …

Because the Yuan Sea Sect lacked leading figures like the other powers, it was the most difficult. With the addition of Huai An and his entourage, it became much easier.

The disciples of the Deep Sea Sect stood on the city wall as arrows rained down endlessly. The hundred thousand strong Western Wasteland army and the three thousand strong city wall outside the city were quite different in numbers.

The shields in front of the western barbarians were raised high, covering a group of people beneath the city walls. When those people reached the city walls, they would throw a hook rope, and then lift a small shield to climb up the city wall.

They all knew some martial arts, so they were much lighter when they went upstairs.

When the disciples of the Yuan Sea Sect and the members of the Waian gang saw the hook strike the city wall, they immediately drew their sabers and cut it in half. At the same time, they threw a few boulders down, smashing one or two people to death.

However, there were still those that would climb the city wall. Although they would be killed immediately if they went up, they would still need to bring along one or two warriors from the Central Plains.

On the contrary, two to three hundred Western barbarians had died. Seeing that the soldiers had lost their will to fight, a Western barbarian commander immediately shouted, "Kill them!"

"The warriors of the Central Plains are very admirable, today they are all cowards!"

Hearing his words, the Western barbarians sighed and laughed, while the people on top of the city gate tower kept a straight face.

"Let me bring that thief back with me!" One of the current elders of the Yuan Hai Sect shouted angrily. He really could not tolerate the other party's insolence.

"Elder, don't worry, he did it on purpose." An elder from the Huaian Line pulled at the current elder of the Yuan Hai Sect and said.

"Do you want to let that thief humiliate my Central Plains' Earth Warrior?" The current elder of the Yuan Hai Sect bellowed.

"His martial arts are strong, let's endure for now. See what I can say." After the elder finished speaking, he turned around and roared at the western barbarians:

"Western barbarians, I have forgotten the lesson from a thousand years ago. If it wasn't for your father's arrogance, even if you had thirty thousand troops and three thousand guards, you still wouldn't have been able to enter this Elemental Sea City!"

The Elder who had come from Huian City did not deliberately arouse the enemy's anger, nor did he want to be quick with his words. Instead, he wanted to reduce the anger of his own people so that they would not lose their will to fight because they were impulsive or felt wronged.

Indeed, these words caused a wave of laughter to erupt from the city gate tower. The laughter sounded so carefree and carefree.

The words of the First Elder made the Western barbarians feel as if they were on stimulants. They wished that they could kill all of the people on the city wall.

At this moment, the Western barbarian commander pointed at the city and yelled, "Kill!"

This time, the Western barbarians seemed to have disregarded their own safety. They tossed the rope up to the city gate tower again and again. The disciples on top of the city gate tower threw rocks and cut ropes.

The elder from the Deep Sea Sect patted the Elder who had come over with a frown on his face. "Is this alright?"

"The enemy is furious. If they can't attack us, they will be even more anxious. As long as our disciples can stabilize themselves, how difficult would it be to defend this city?" The Elder from Huai'an Stronghold replied with a brilliant smile.

"But the fact that they were angered reminded me of the story of an ancient war: slaying the nose and digging up the grave." The elder of the Deep Sea Sect frowned as he looked at the Elder from Huai An Yin.

"Elder, you're overthinking it." The Elder from Huaian Line smiled and patted the shoulders of the elder from Yuanhai Sect.

The elder of the Yuan Hai Sect seemed to be deep in thought. Just as he was about to draw his sword, the Elder who came with the line of protection shook his long sleeves and stabbed the elder's neck with the dagger before pulling it out.

The elders of the Yuan Sea Sect looked in disbelief at the Elder who had just arrived. The rest of the disciples also shifted their gazes over.

No one understood what was going on. Suddenly, from time to time, there would be disciples who came from Huian line to the crowd and brandished their weapons towards their fellow sect members and the people of the Deep Sea Sect.

If someone paid attention to this, they would notice that the disciples who wielded weapons to kill their own disciples were missing a small hole on their chests.

The top of the city gate tower was suddenly thrown into chaos. The Huaian elder shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, it's all your fault for being too smart, otherwise you would have been able to live for a little longer."

After he finished speaking, he pulled out his long sword and hacked backwards, coincidentally striking a disciple of the Yuan Hai Sect who was planning to sneak in an attack on him from behind.

There were still a lot of people who did not know what had happened. Many elders did not understand why, but they quickly became a corpse. Perhaps it was killed by someone from the Yuan Hai Sect, or by someone from their own sect.

The city gate tower was thrown into chaos as the Western barbarians attacked. The Elder who came with the Huaian Line leapt into Yuanhai City and killed several disciples guarding the gate before opening the gate.

The moment the western barbarians surged in, an elder of the Yuan Hai Sect yelled, "Yuan Hai Sect's disciples, retreat to the city!"

As soon as the Elder's loud shout was heard, the disciples of the Yuan Hai Sect, who numbered less than a thousand, all rushed into the city. Nearly a hundred people had been shot to death by arrows while in the middle of their journey.

The current head of the Yuan Hai Sect and a few other disciples were in charge of handling some important documents within the sect. As a result, they did not head up to the city walls to fight.

When he finished dealing with the important documents and planned to go to the city gate tower, four or five elders rushed in, their bodies covered in wounds.

"Sect Leader, we lost our defence at Yuanhai City!" A young elder said with tears streaming down his face. Originally, the head of the Yuan Hai Sect was full of fighting spirit, but upon hearing this news, his eyes instantly widened as his mouth gaped open and he muttered:

"How could that be? "Why …"

"The Pu family is from the Western barbarians." The sect head of the Deep Sea Sect tightly clenched his fist as he heard this.

"Report!" A disciple of the Yuan Hai Sect hurriedly rushed in and said without waiting for anyone else to speak:

"The western barbarian army is already outside of the Yuan Hai Sect."

The sect master gritted her teeth as she drew her sword and said, "Follow me! Even if I have to die, I have to kill a few more people, especially those Pu Clan bastards! "

With that said, the head of the Yuan Hai Sect walked out of the room with a sword in his hand. The few elders and disciples naturally followed him out.

In this battle, every disciple in the sect, from the head to the disciples, were killed without exception. Not a single one surrendered, and not a single one begged for mercy.

On this day, almost every inch of the Yuan Hai Sect was stained with blood. After fighting until the point where only two disciples remained, the two of them did not have much strength left. If they continued to kill the enemy, they would definitely be captured alive.

They smiled at each other and thrust their swords into each other's left chest at the same time.
