The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2627 - 2602: Heavenly

As the Yellow Wasps breached the border, no life remained; inside Seven Stars City, millions of powerhouses perished, nearly in just half a day.

The fighters who charged out from the city nearly all perished under the blades of Demon Sect martial artists.

Leng Yun, battered with injuries and a face full of grimness, charged onto the battlefield and spotted the now-insane Shi Zhongxian.

Shi Zhongxian wildly hacked at the black-robed warriors surging toward him.

"Come on!"

"Come on, you beasts, all of you, come on!"

Shi Zhongxian bellowed nonstop, his eyes blazing red.

The black-robed warriors encircling Shi Zhongxian appeared shocked and murmured, "Isn’t this guy weird? Each time he gets struck, his body turns to stone, then reforms!"

"What sort of cultivation technique is that? A battle skill?"

"This fellow has a supreme treasure! We can’t let him slip away alive!"

"Ha ha, after slaying this guy, that treasure will be mine, my path to ruling the East Continent begins!"

The fighters around eyed Shi Zhongxian with manic greed, cackling madly.

They hemmed Shi Zhongxian in, biding for the instant his energy waned, for his vulnerability, to then assault and slay him while claiming the hidden treasure!

Yet certain fighters sensed the anomaly. They gazed at Shi Zhongxian and uttered icily, "Could this be a fighter from the Shi Family in God Stone Domain, bearer of the Bloodline Legacy Martial Soul?"

"Let’s retreat!"

"Why flee?"

"To fell a Shi Family warrior, you need to confine him for days, drain his spiritual force, exhaust his blood essence, only when his Martial Soul fails can you possibly kill him!"

"Back when the Demon Sect razed God Stone Domain, even the Demon Sect Master besieged the Shi Family and scorched them for ten days straight to wipe out every God Stone Domain Shi Family warrior!"

"The man before us must be Shi Zhongxian. He’s likely the final Shi Family warrior left!"

"We should withdraw. Tangling with him here serves no purpose; better to loot other spoils. I recall a Medicine Garden nearby, owned by a major clan in Seven Stars City—wonder if someone else has claimed it yet!"

Numerous fighters identified Shi Zhongxian’s Martial Soul secret art and promptly abandoned the fight.

Just a handful of hopeful fighters clung on, still encircling Shi Zhongxian.

Right then, Leng Yun, face icy, shoved through the ring, seized Shi Zhongxian’s shoulder, and tried to depart: "Shi Zhongxian, follow me!"

Shi Zhongxian, eyes crimson with rage, bellowed: "Release me, release me, I’ll battle these monsters till the end! I’ll avenge my clan, my kin!"

Shi Zhongxian roared.

Leng Yun snapped furiously: "Shi Zhongxian, get a grip! See what’s around you—the Seven Stars City warriors are all gone, our five East Continent Academy comrades are dead too!"

"Seven Stars City is lost, we can’t stand against the Demon Sect. If we linger, escape will be impossible!"

"Snap out of it!"

Leng Yun bellowed in fury.

Shi Zhongxian clenched his teeth, eyes bloodshot as he stared daggers at Leng Yun.

Leng Yun spoke coldly: "The Demon Sect didn’t just slaughter your family—mine too. But if we die, who avenges them?"

"Follow me!"

Leng Yun hauled Shi Zhongxian forcefully from the chaos.

Shi Zhongxian shut his eyes in helplessness, ground his teeth, and escaped Seven Stars City alongside Leng Yun.

Though hunters trailed them, as Quasi-Saints from East Continent Academy, Shi Zhongxian and Leng Yun easily lost their pursuers!

Once Leng Yun and Shi Zhongxian fled Seven Stars City, they stood atop a nearby peak, gazing at the far-off Seven Stars City below, faces etched with gravity.

Yellow Wasps now rampaged through Seven Stars City, shrouding the whole place.

Black-robed warriors carved their bloody path inside, agonized cries echoing out.

Blood seeped from the walls, a thick stench of gore wafting over a hundred miles—clearly, Seven Stars City had turned into a bone-strewn ruin!

"In merely half a day, Seven Stars City fell like this." Leng Yun stated coldly.

Shi Zhongxian replied coldly: "We misjudged the Demon Sect’s might!"

"Leng Yun, do you know how many East Continent Academy brothers and sisters were in Seven Stars City?"

Shi Zhongxian said coldly.

Leng Yun, upon hearing this, fell quiet, then declared, "Let’s move!"

Leng Yun avoided the topic, swiftly leading Shi Zhongxian away.

Departing Seven Stars City, the duo sped directly toward the distant horizon.

At the same time, Leng Yun pulled out a Sound Transmission Token and declared: "Senior Gu Dao, the Demon Sect has launched its assault, frontline Seven Stars City lies in ruins, we're fleeing now!"

Gu Daozhi's voice echoed from the token: "Got it, direct the surviving warriors to the second frontline, Hundred-Year City!"

Leng Yun replied: "Understood!"

In the South Battle Zone, Gu Daozhi emerged with a darkened expression.

Upon entering the Great Hall, he found it packed with warriors from East Continent Academy.

East Continent Academy's Quasi-Saints were there: Gu Xi, Gu Xing, Jian Kong, Huo Fentian, Lin Yibing, Tu Ziyun, Blackstone Roland Sword Nine, Leng Qianxue, Chen Qing, Shangguan Qi, Kong Lianxin, Kong Mo, Zhaohai Qing, Li Jiuge, Lan Yuxin, Hua Muqing, Wang Qing, Zhang Xianqi, Xing Hen, Fang Yi, Chen Qing.

Saint Lin Bai stood among them as well.

Bai Xiaoxiao was present in the Great Hall too.

Powerful figures from the ancient families of East Continent Academy filled their ranks.

Three days prior, Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao had reached the South Battle Zone.

Gu Daozhi fixed his gaze on Bai Xiaoxiao and spoke icily: "The first line of defense is utterly shattered!"

Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed as he murmured: "Quicker than anticipated!"

Gu Daozhi asked: "Your Majesty Emperor Xiao, what's our next move?"

Bai Xiaoxiao responded steadily: "No need to panic. The South Battle Zone boasts three lines of defense, right? With just the first one breached, stay calm!"

Gu Daozhi replied coldly: "Yet given the Demon Sect's might, the second line won't hold beyond three days!"

"Then, Demon Sect forces will surge unchecked into the South Battle Zone, while other zones can offer no aid!"

"Should they reach the third line... Heavenly Destiny Pass!"

"Defeat there means the whole South Battle Zone crumbles."

Gu Daozhi stated with deep intent.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, affirming: "I get it!"

Observing Bai Xiaoxiao's composure, Gu Daozhi's features hardened once more, falling silent.

The location of Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao marked the final defense of the South Battle Zone: Heavenly Destiny Pass!

This stronghold stood as the South Battle Zone's vital heart; its capture would hand the entire zone to the Demon Sect!

News of the first line's annihilation spread, leaving every warrior at Heavenly Destiny Pass with grave faces.

A shadow of unease also cloaked Lin Bai's heart.

In that instant, Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes drifted toward Lin Bai, whether by chance or design, carrying a trace of sorrow!
