Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1461 - 777: Reconstruction
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
"Maintain distance!" In a grave tone, Great Cultivator Lou issued the command.
The team from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion held a secure gap from the array of two thousand Hell Creatures, keeping sufficiently near for an assault yet never venturing too close, poised to unleash their power at any moment.
Great Cultivator Lou awaited a chance to confer on combat strategies with fellow great cultivators; amid such a multitude of elite squads, chaotic battling simply wouldn't do.
"This can't continue. Those Hell monsters keep massing up, swelling their ranks!" One great cultivator warned via the shared communication line.
Sure enough, fresh Hell Creatures kept streaming into the two thousand-strong formation of Hell Creatures, blending in effortlessly the instant they arrived.
This zone had already been swept clean by the cultivators, which sharply cut down the count of Hell Creatures and stopped their numbers from exploding right away in the array.
Yet as moments dragged on, far-off Hell Creatures trickled in to bolster the formation, turning the ever-growing mass into a grave threat for the cultivators.
"Switch to cycling distant assaults to whittle down their forces first!" proposed another great cultivator.
Soon enough, the great cultivators hammered out an agreement, and the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion squad kicked off the offensive right away.
On this front, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion always stepped up without hesitation; Sword Cultivators and Thunder Cultivators ranked as the swiftest and mightiest by nature, though sadly, Yuqing Sect lay in ruins, with even a Thunder Cultivator Grandmaster lost in the fray.
The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion team drew nearer to the Hell Creatures’ formation, where the pair of Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Bull Head Spirits locked onto them at once, barreling forward to clash with the Sword Cultivator squad.
The Sword Cultivators veered aside nimbly, holding their spacing as they unleashed waves of sword lights infused with Sword Intent straight into the formation.
Even with the barrage from a hundred Sword Cultivators, bolstered by strikes from two Sword Cultivator Grandmasters, the dark shield hovering over the Hell Creatures’ formation merely flickered, failing to shatter outright.
Calmly, guided by Great Cultivator Lou, the Sword Cultivators kept up a steady rhythm of their sword light barrages.
While the Sword Cultivators pressed on with their onslaught, a shadowy form hurtled toward them at a velocity beyond comprehension.
That blistering pace left the Sword Cultivators frozen for a split second, unable to counter right away.
Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu spotted it as a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Spirit, one that had slunk along the edges of the formation.
Through constant shifts in place and shielding from other Hell Creatures, it proved tricky for the cultivators to track its whereabouts.
Just when a gap opened up, the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Spirit bared its claws for a devastating blow.
Though they tried, Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu couldn't block its rush toward the Sword Cultivator team in the nick of time.
Should it slam into the group, heavy losses would surely follow.
Worse still, any disruption in the Sword Cultivator team's lines would let the Hell Creatures’ formation close the gap swiftly.
A squad of one hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators, under the command of two Sword Cultivator Grandmasters, paled in raw might against two thousand Hell Creatures driven by five Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings.
The Sword Cultivator team managed only to pester from afar, gradually eroding the formation's might via relentless distant strikes, since head-on fights offered no hope.
Right as the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Spirit neared collision with the Sword Cultivator team, a streak of sword light flashed in, halting its advance.
This came from Li Yuanba’s Xingyi Sword. Even holding back on its potency, backed by four billion speed runes, it zipped forth with jaw-dropping swiftness sans the Speed Rule Imprint's full trigger.
Infused with 'Chaos Sword Intent,' as Xingyi Sword raced at the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Spirit, the beast felt the peril on instinct, compelled to brace for defense.
Xingyi Sword got parried, yet the fiend's momentum ground to a stop.
The Lifebound Flying Swords of Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu darted in fast, inflicting grave harm on the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Spirit.
Alas, precisely when the two Sword Cultivator Grandmasters sought to press the advantage and finish it off, the Hell Creatures’ formation surged up.
A dark gleam descended on the wounded Hell Horse Head Spirit, mending its gashes in a flash.
Out of choices, the Sword Cultivator Grandmasters ordered the team to pull back further, slipping into their prior pattern of remote sword light assaults.
Truth be told, this distant shelling packed modest punch but stood as the sole reliable way to strike without peril at present.
Following more than ten rounds of volleys, the ebony barrier crowning the Hell Creatures’ formation at last crumbled.
Inside the formation, Hell Creatures started dropping like flies; while the hurt ones got patched up quick, after such drawn-out battling, the Sword Cultivators had honed their synergy, zeroing in on single targets with every possible hit.
