Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 238: The Horizon Wing Sect Cultivators Do Not Fear Death, Monk Disciple Wu Ye

In Sunsoil City.

Many adventurers had swiftly abandoned the city to flee from the danger.

They had witnessed the approach of the large black mass charging from afar — a terrifying army comprising of countless tormented souls!

Its skyrocketing ferocious qi and rage qi could strike fear into anyone who had the misfortune of witnessing it!

Wherever the grand army passed through, even other tormented souls would be easily torn apart, destroyed, and consumed. No one could stop its advance.

The crowd too saw from afar that some Honorable adventurers were swept in by the Tormented Army. All it took were a dozen breaths and they were torn into pieces. The sight was a terrible one to behold.

The Tormented Army only operated on one principle…

To kill everything on sight!

“How terrifying.”

“It looks like today marks the final day of Sunsoil City.”

Even the remarkable combat troops of Sunsoil City could only resort to fleeing for their lives in the face of the advancing Tormented Army.

However, amid the chaos, there was a group of fighters that went against the flow.

Just when most were frantically fleeing away from Sunsoil City, these individuals were charging directly towards Sunsoil City from a distance instead.

Every one of them had determination written all over their faces.

“Those are… the cultivators of Horizon Wing Sect.”

“What are they doing, coming to Sunsoil CIty at such timing?”

Many were puzzled.

Some lamented the situation too. “The Horizon Wing Sect’s territories lie just beyond this town and it’s home to millions of civilians. Once Sunsoil City is gone, these civilians will most likely be the next victims. They’re here to defend against the Tormented Army!”

Upon hearing that explanation, a few other cultivators could only gaze in admiration.

However, there were also some who made dissing remarks.

“Pfft, do they think they can stop the Tormented Army with only such little manpower? They don’t care about their lives anymore.”

“Indeed, this army is massive. I bet not even ten Horizon Wing Sect’s worth of manpower could pull this off.”

“They’re literally marching towards their deaths.”

…

In Sunsoil City.

Lengchang Kong had just returned to the city when he saw the Tormented Army charging with an inordinate amount of rage qi.

He then immediately thought of the countless civilians under the care of Horizon Wing Sect and knew that his own sect would not stand aside and watch the event unfold.

Indeed.

It was not long before he received a telepathic message from the Horizon Wing Sect.

“Old Zhang, you should go and bring the rest to safety.”

Lengchang Kong said to Old Zhang, a member of the Horizon Wing Troop.

Besides the Horizon Wing Sect members, there were some troop members in Old Zhang’s team that were not part of the sect, who need not stay on and fight the incoming army.

“Leader, what’re you talking about? I don’t know about the rest, but I, Old Zhang, will never abandon my duties. We’ve agreed to live and die together,” said Old Zhang.

“That’s right, we’ll never leave.”

“Aren’t they just tormented souls anyway? We’ve gotten used to them.”

The Horizon Wing Troop members had endured countless adversities together over the years.

None of them intended to leave their duties.

At that moment, Lengchang Kong suddenly felt that his greatest achievement in life was not that he became a Daoist, but that he had the fortune to serve alongside these brothers-in-arms!

Then, as several streams of light flashed above their head, they knew that reinforcements from Horizon Wing Sect had arrived.

“Let’s go.”

Lengchang Kong took a deep breath, his eyes burning with a raging determination.

With that, he led the troop towards the wall of Sunsoil City.

Within the city, a young monk was walking against the direction of the escaping crowd to the city’s wall. He was dressed in a cloth gown and was holding a Buddhist’s cane in his hand.

Others were shocked to witness his behavior.

“This monk’s walking towards the city gate, he doesn’t care about his life anymore.”

“Is he not afraid of the tormented soul?”

“Why do you care so much? Let’s hurry up and leave.”

The young monk had heard all the remarks people had towards him, yet he still maintained his tranquil expression. Looking afar at the charging tormented souls, he murmured, “Amitabha, if I don’t walk into Hell, who else would?!”

He continued his march towards the city’s front gate with no hesitation.

Just then, the young monk saw several cultivators from the Horizon Wing Sect charging towards the Tormented Army from above, and he let out a smile.

“I’m not alone in this journey.”

…

On the city wall of Sunsoil City.

The Horizon Wing Sect Master and several elders were staring solemnly at the approaching Tormented Army.

The Tormented Army was more intimidating than they thought. Even from afar, they could already sense the immense oppressive aura that the army radiated.

The disturbing rage qi had sent goosebumps all over their bodies.

At that moment, Lengchang Kong had also arrived.

“Greetings Sect Master and elders.”

“Greetings. Since we’re now on the battlefield, there’s no need for formality.”

“Noted.”

Lengchang Kong then saw a young monk beside the Horizon Wing Sect Master and asked curiously, “Who’s this Master…?”

“My name is Wu Ye.”

The young monk replied with a smile.

This shocked Lengchang Kong and others.

“Wu Ye, as in, the monk disciple of Thunder Temple?!”

“Wu Ye, the most stellar young individual in the way of Buddhist Dao, and one of the thirty-eight Young Emperors. Looks like he’s here too.”

Wu Ye was amongst the more well-known cultivators among the younger generation.

It was not a simple feat to become both a Buddhist disciple and a Young Emperor.

“Master Wu Ye was training in the Ancient Battlefield when the Tormented Army broke up. He was kind enough to lend his hands to us in this battle.”

The Horizon Wing Sect Master explained.

“I see.”

Lengchang Kong’s expression turned serious as he bowed gratefully towards Wu Ye.

After that, the group soon began to discuss strategies to defeat the Tormented Army.

The Tormented Army was now less than a hundred miles away from Sunsoil City. Judging by their speed, it would not take long before they eventually reach the city’s border.

The group was running out of time.

“I’ve been observing their movements for a while now. The individual strength of the Tormented Army is not strong at all, but the fact that their powers are all concentrated into a single battle formation, now this is the trickiest part.”

“That’s right. If we’re able to disrupt that formation, the tormented souls will be dispersed and it’ll be easier for us to handle them individually.”

“How do we destroy their battle formation?”

“Since it’s a formation, there must be a commander amongst them. As long as we manage to remove this commander, we’ll achieve our goal!”

“But there’s so many of them, how’re we able to locate the commander?”

The group soon found themselves in a difficult conundrum.

The monk disciple, Wu Ye, then smiled gently. “Leave this to me.”

The group’s attention fell on him while the Horizon Wing Sect Master immediately recalled, “It’s said that the Thunder Temple owns a renowned technique that’s known as the All-Seeing Eye of God. When trained to its fullest, one can look into the various worlds and realms. Are you intending to use that to locate the commander, Wise Master?”

“We can give it a try.”

Wu Ye nodded his head slightly.

Following that, a golden light flashed in his eyes as he activated his All-Seeing Eye, immediately accessing his vision into the Tormented Army.

Wu Ye was immediately greeted by a swarm of rage qi that trembled his body, and it was almost enough to blind his eyes.

His face paled as he began to search for the commander in the Tormented Army.

Finally, he set his focus on one tormented soul who was dressed in a suit of black armor. The rage qi that it emitted was so overwhelming that countless tormented souls were swarming around this entity as if to protect it.

“Looks like that’s the commander of this Tormented Army.”

Monk Disciple Wu Ye shared his findings with the Horizon Wing Sect Master and others.

“Next is to kill off this Tormented Army Commander.”

“Leave this to me.”

The Horizon Wing Sect Master smiled and retrieved a golden longbow, which was laced with an extraordinary Daoist Rhyme.

Then, he took out an arrow and pulled the longbow, locking the target onto the commander’s position with Wu Ye’s guidance.

As he stretched the golden longbow to its fullest, the Horizon Wing Sect Master channeled his spiritual energies incessantly into the longbow.

With a snap, the arrow pierced through the sky, transforming into a golden ray of light, and charged straight towards the Tormented Army Commander!
