Chapter 668: Chapter 665: Siege
"No need to worry," Su Han said.
"But..."
Liuyun urgently said, "But the people from Nine Heavens Tower are about to obtain the Sage’s Skull! If we don’t act now, we won’t have a chance!"
Su Han remained silent, while Shangguan Mingxin pulled Liuyun aside and said, "The Sect Master told you not to worry, so don’t worry. He definitely has his own plans."
"Fine," Liuyun said, resignedly nodding his head. Looking at Su Han, he noticed Su Han forming hand seals, and papers appeared in front of him, seemingly in the process of refining something.
At this moment, two individuals from Nine Heavens Tower had already rushed towards the Sage’s Skull.
They were very close to the Sage’s Skull, but their speed was slow, whether deliberately or due to some kind of resistance—it was clear from their expressions that the latter was more likely.
Simultaneously, Ji Mingkong also led people in a rush towards the location.
With a wave of his hand, Qingyi sent over a hundred people flying out to intercept.
It was the same for Han Yiming’s side, obstructed by over a hundred people from Nine Heavens Tower.
"Qingyi, do you really think that these few people from Nine Heavens Tower can stop all of us?!" Ji Mingkong shouted angrily. "Move aside at once. Supreme Treasures of Heaven and Earth belong to the virtuous. This Sage’s Skull isn’t a supreme treasure, but it’s still of great use to all of us!"
"Indeed, it’s not possible to stop you all, but to delay you momentarily until Nine Heavens Tower retrieves the Sage’s Skull should be feasible," Qingyi replied coldly, glancing back at the two rushing towards the Sage’s Skull, then added thoughtfully.
"If you seek death yourselves, then kill!" Ji Mingkong snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the over three hundred people from Ji Family immediately charged at the hundred-plus people from Nine Heavens Tower.
Han Yiming also didn’t say a word and just initiated the attack; his Divine Transformation Pavilion’s people clashed directly with the hundred-plus from Nine Heavens Tower.
Suddenly, the heavens and the earth roared as a series of attacks mixed with dazzling colors—be it sword lights, blade lights, or spear lights—continuously bombarded, causing explosions all around.
Nine Heavens Tower was indeed formidable to the extreme, their two hundred plus people battling against six hundred from Ji Family and Divine Transformation Pavilion, yet they weren’t at a disadvantage for the moment.
If this were to continue, it would be just as Qingyi had said; it might not be possible to stop them all, but at least, before Nine Heavens Tower could retrieve that Sage’s Skull, buying some time was still feasible.
Seeing that Nine Heavens Tower was indeed able to block them, Ji Mingkong’s brows furrowed deeply, and he turned his head sharply towards the Zhou Family, Chen Family, Chang’an Mountain Gate, and Sect of the Battle God, yelling, "What are you waiting for? Take action, kill the people of Nine Heavens Tower, and we may still have a chance at the Sage’s Skull. Otherwise, once Nine Heavens Tower retrieves it, we will not have any chance left!"
Without his prompting, the Zhou Family and Chen Family had already stood up.
The leader of the Zhou Family was an elder, clearly not the official leader of the Zhou Family that entered the Ancient Battlefield, but merely the leader of these three hundred people here. freewebnoveℓ.com
In such major competitions, the leader is usually one of the younger heavenly talents from each sect or family, except in the case of fourth-rate or lesser sects that elect an elder to enter the Ancient Battlefield, as they do not possess such talents or, even if they do, they lack the ability to develop them.
These sects participate in this grand competition genuinely to vie for the ranking in the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal, and for these superpowers, it’s not merely about the rankings but also a chance for the talents from various forces to undergo a trial.
The elder from the Zhou Family, named ’Zhou Chen’, was also at the peak of the Dragon God Realm.
At that moment, Zhou Chen nodded towards Ji Mingkong, then looked at Qingyi, "Nine Heavens Tower is no match for such a large number of us."
As soon as he finished speaking, under his lead, the more than three hundred people from the Zhou Family charged towards the Nine Heavens Tower.
Qingyi and the others blocked the path to the Sage’s Skull, and getting it would require breaking through their obstruction.
As the people from the Zhou Family made their move, the Chen Family was not far behind.
This Chen Family was not the same as the one from Yuanshan County back then; although they shared the same surname, they were worlds apart.
The leader of these more than three hundred people from the Chen Family was a middle-aged woman named ’Chen Yue’, with a cultivation base at the peak of the Dragon God Realm. She was voluptuous, and although middle-aged, still held a regal beauty, clearly having been extremely beautiful in her youth.
"Offense intended!"
Chen Yue bowed to Qingyi, then suddenly rushed forward.
The involvement of the Chen and Zhou families immediately increased the pressure on Nine Heavens Tower, and the remaining hundred or so people could only temporarily split fifty to rush out and block them.
Qingyi frowned heavily, he initially thought that obtaining the Sage’s Skull would be extremely simple, and he also had confidence in stopping all the forces here before Nine Heavens Tower got the Sage’s Skull, which is why he was so arrogantly hostile against everyone.
Once obtained, Nine Heavens Tower would be able to withdraw swiftly. In terms of fighting, they couldn’t beat so many forces, but if they decided to leave, no one could stop them.
But he had never anticipated that, about a mile from the Sage’s Skull, there would be such great resistance.
The two who rushed forward were both at the mid stage of the Dragon God Realm; under normal circumstances, they would reach it in an instant, but now... they had only covered a quarter of the distance!
As he pondered, Qingyi’s gaze fell on the Sect of the Battle God and Chang’an Mountain Gate.
The Sect of the Battle God, being a Super Sect, once they made their move, it would certainly be extremely powerful. At this moment, Nine Heavens Tower already had no spare manpower, and the fifty people blocking the Zhou and Chen families were already at a disadvantage, having sustained injuries, and even some deaths.
And Chang’an Mountain Gate was comparable to the Thirteen Families, with exceptional strength, fully capable of treating the Zhou and Chen families as equals.
Not to mention the people from the Wang Family and Jade Void Palace.
If they continued to obstruct, they might not get the Sage’s Skull and might end up losing more than initially planned.
As for the Phoenix Sect and Rainforest Sect, Qingyi didn’t take them seriously at all.
However, what puzzled him was that both the Sect of the Battle God and Chang’an Mountain Gate had already stood up, but Duan Tiansheng from the Jade Void Palace, as well as the people from the Wang Family, were still sitting there, showing no signs of making a move.
"Could it be that they know they are too few in number to contend, or do they have other thoughts?"
Qingyi wondered, but at that moment, it wasn’t the time to think too much. Seeing that Nine Heavens Tower had lost a few more people, Qingyi turned back and saw that the two men had not yet reached halfway.
"These two wastes!"
Qingyi’s face darkened, and he suddenly retreated while shouting, "Both of you get out of the way, I’ll get the Sage’s Skull myself!"
