Liang Butong easily destroyed the enemy's paper figures and horses, boosting the morale of the allied soldiers and officers. Commander Li Liyue arrived, confidently assuring her officers that with Liang Butong's aid, the pass would hold for a long time. Meanwhile, Liang Butong faced more paper figures, only to be targeted by tank shells from the Ai Clan, which he easily dodged.

"Immortal Venerable" Liang Butong lowered his head,

and the True Qi within him suddenly came to a halt. The crimson long whip that had been as swift as a gale slowed down just a tad!

But this slight difference in speed,

was enough for those strange white paper people and paper horses to react. They bent their papery bodies, evading the frightful lash of that one or two hundred-pound crimson whip!

Liang Butong then abruptly reclaimed the crimson whip, striking towards his feet.

At this moment, seven or eight paper people appeared before him, using all their might to clutch his legs and feet!

These paper people were not the same pale white as the others; they were entirely transparent, yet it was unclear with what material they had been refined, and they didn't reflect any light at all. This led to Liang Butong's focus on the surrounding paper people and horses, failing to notice the transparent ones lying on the ground. Ultimately, he stepped into their trap and was encircled, unable to move!

The key was the terrifying toughness of the material used for these transparent paper people; its tenacity was probably several times stronger than refined steel wire!

Liang Butong himself was a Cultivator at the Late Stage of Second Layer Transcendence. When combined with the Blood Cloud Technique from his sect, he could directly unleash explosive power comparable to a Third Layer Cultivator! Such strength could easily snap steel bars as thick as a child's arm with just a single exertion! Yet, despite his full struggle, he couldn't tear apart the bindings of those seven or eight transparent paper people!

This was why Liang Butong reclaimed the crimson whip, striking it at his feet!

He had just lashed at the transparent paper people at his feet, but before dispersing them, a cold laugh suddenly came from above.

Liang Butong's expression changed slightly, and he looked up, only to see twenty or so stark white, over-one-zhang-long paper birds hovering at a height of two or three hundred meters. Each bird gripped an aviation bomb weighing several hundred pounds in its claws! These paper birds, although much smaller compared to aircraft capable of dropping such bombs, were still refined as Low-Tier Spiritual Artifacts and seemingly held some special abilities, allowing them to remain suspended in mid-air!

On the back of one of the stark white paper birds sat the Cultivator Dongtan Shi'er from the Ghost Servant Sect of the Ai Race, coldly laughing down at Liang Butong. He spoke:

"Liang Butong, Liang Butong, do you think over the decades it's only you who has been cultivating and progressing continuously? I, Dongtan Shi'er, have also reached Tier Two Perfection as an Immortal Venerable. Today, I only need to kill you and seize your soul for my Servant Ghost, and I'll certainly be able to break through the bottleneck of Tier Two Immortal Venerable and step into the Early Stage of Tier Three Immortal Venerable, becoming a powerful Immortal Venerable second only to the Sect Leaders and Elders of the Great Immortal Sects!

Of course, if you, Liang Butong, kneel and beg for mercy now and then personally slay hundreds of these Great Yan Kingdom soldiers to serve as a vanguard for the Ai Clan's Invincible Corps, and hand over all your Blood Cloud Sect's cultivation techniques to me, Dongtan Shi'er might just spare your life!"

The terms Dongtan Shi'er proposed clearly showed no intention of sparing Liang Butong. Since Liang Butong was a renowned Cultivator of the Blood Cloud Sect, if he dared to betray at the crucial battlefield of the Great Yan Kingdom and transmit the Core Technique of the Blood Cloud Sect to a Cultivator of the Ghost Servant Sect, from that moment on, Liang Butong wouldn't need Dongtan Shi'er to do anything. All the Cultivators of the Blood Cloud Sect would hunt Liang Butong!

Dongtan Shi'er's words at this moment were merely a form of mockery towards his old rival, Liang Butong!

Sure enough,

upon hearing Dongtan Shi'er's words, Liang Butong's face darkened, eyes widened, eyebrows raised, and he angrily shouted:

"Dongtan Shi'er, do you think the Cultivators of the Blood Cloud Sect are as shameless as the Demons of your Ghost Servant Sect? Not to mention that our battle is still undecided, even if I, Liang Butong, fall to you, I would not even bat an eye nor beg for mercy!"

Before the words were finished, Liang Butong simply ignored the seven or eight transparent paper people binding him, and instead fiercely whipped the crimson long whip towards the ground.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar,

the ground was directly cracked open by Liang Butong!

Liang Butong then swung the whip, rolling up a boulder weighing several hundred pounds from the crevice and furiously flinging it. That instant, the boulder emitted a piercing scream as it broke through the air, carrying immense power as it hurled towards Dongtan Shi'er's position in mid-air at a height of two or three hundred meters!

Such a boulder, weighing several hundred pounds, was hurled at an astonishing speed of two or three hundred meters per second by Liang Butong in full force,

If Dongtan Shi'er's position was an aircraft, being struck directly by such a heavy boulder at such speed would likely result in destruction and death on the spot!
