The battle was going on in a tragic way. Since the Dimensional Wall had lost its protection, the battle finally took place on the city wall. Tens of thousands of Sword Maidens and Yuan Kou fought fiercely on the city wall that was more than two hundred kilometers long.
In the beginning, the Sword Maidens still had the advantage of numbers on the city wall. They killed a large number of Yuan Kou.
However, as more and more Yuan Kou climbed onto the city wall, the Sword Maidens were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Often, one Sword Maiden had to face the siege of two Yuan Kou.
Ten minutes after the battle began, a large number of casualties began to appear.
Groups of Sword Maidens' personal shields were destroyed by Yuan Kou, but their Sword Maidens could not order them to return to their swords because they were fighting with Yuan Kou. When they were in contact with Yuan Kou, it was impossible to order them to return to their swords.
There were only two ways to deal with this situation. One was to order the Swordmistress to fully disengage from Yuankou. Then, the sword-wielder would immediately issue the order to return the Swordmistress to the sword-wielder's hand through a specially created vent in the safety wall. This would allow the Swordmistress to return to the sword-wielder's hand and reset her personal shield.
This was also the method that the Sword Maidens used in most situations. However, it was inevitable that they would encounter Yuan Kou who were particularly annoying. Those Yuan Kou would entangle the Sword Maidens of the Sword Maidens, making it impossible for the Sword Maidens to break away from them.
In such a situation, the Sword Maidens had to take the risk themselves.
In order to protect their Sword Maidens from being broken by Yuan Kou, the Sword Maidens had to take the risk to rush out of the wall and rush to their Sword Maidens' side. They had to use their bodies to grab the Sword Maidens' Sword Maidens and force them to return to their swords. Then, they would rush back to the wall through the nearest safe entrance.
During this period, the Sword Maidens could only use their personal shields to resist the damage from the surrounding Yuan Kou. If they could resist the damage from Yuan Kou, they would be able to return to the wall with their Sword Maidens.
However, if the swordsman did not manage to block Yuan Kou's attacks and lost the protection of his personal shield, he would most likely die on the safety wall.
For example, there was an ancient sword wielder below Sword Immortal Ling Xu. His Sword Maiden's personal shield had already been shattered, but she was being held back by a slime.
The Slime stuck to the Sword Maiden's body like plasticine. Beside the Slime was a Kobold who continuously swung his greataxe at the Sword Maiden's body. The Sword Maiden's durability was rapidly decreasing. If she could not return to the safety wall soon, the Sword Maiden would be broken into two.
At that moment, an exit appeared on the wall closest to the Sword Maiden. The wielder of the Sword Maiden sprinted towards the Sword Maiden at the fastest speed he could muster.
Along the way, he used his personal shield to resist many attacks. Finally, he got close to the Sword Maiden. He placed his left hand on the Sword Maiden's shoulder, and the Sword Maiden instantly transformed back into a sword. Only then did he escape from the Slime's entanglement.
However, even though the wielder tried his best to escape back to the safety wall, he was only an ancient sword wielder, and a young one at that. He did not have much sword essence, and his personal shield could not withstand the attacks of the other Yuan Kou. Finally, when he was about ten meters away from the entrance of the safety wall, he was simultaneously pressed to the ground by two Yuan Kou's, and his personal shield was shattered.
"Shui Lan, you must live well and wait for your next master!"
The swordsman knew he couldn't escape. At the last moment of his life, he used all his strength to throw the swordswoman into the entrance of the safety wall. In the next second, his body was torn in half by the two bandits, and he died on the wall with his flesh and blood smeared all over.
This was not an isolated case on the battlefield. Almost every minute, there were three or four wielder who died while trying to save their Sword Maidens.
Even if they were lucky enough to save their Sword Maidens, this was only one reincarnation.
Once the Sword Maiden reforged her personal shield on the wall, the Sword Maiden would have to fight her way out of the wall to fight Yuankou again. Once the energy of the personal shield was depleted, she would have to repeat the process of being rescued by her sword wielder.
One should not think that hiding behind the safety wall was safe. The protection of the safety wall was only for those below the Dragon Rank, Yuan Kou. If a Dragon Rank or above Yuan Kou stepped onto the safety wall, then this Yuan Kou could completely destroy the outer walls of the safety wall. In this way, all the wielder and swordsman within the safety wall would be caught like turtles in a jar, and the safety wall would become a wall of death for them.
… …
Sword Immortal Ling Xu did not hide behind the safety wall. He continued to hover in the air, relying on the strength of his personal shield. He used his Wangshu Sword to fight on the city wall, while using his spirit sword Sword Maidens to fight the flying Yuan Kou's in the air.
However, Sword Immortal Ling Xu's swordsmanship was very bad. He only knew some basic swordsmanship movements.
However, because Sword Immortal Ling Xu was fast enough, his attacks were strong enough, and his personal shield had enough energy, no matter how bad his swordsmanship was, the flying Yuan Kou's were not a match for a single attack from Sword Immortal Ling Xu. They all died to Sword Immortal Ling Xu's sword.
However, Sword Immortal Ling Xu was still a layman in swordsmanship. Against these flying Yuan Kou's, he was not even as fast as a famed sword rank Sword Maiden. However, it was still better than nothing.
While fighting, Sword Immortal Ling Xu was also constantly paying attention to the situation on the city wall that the highest artificial intelligence had collected.
Fifteen minutes had passed since the beginning of the battle. A conservative estimate was that over a thousand artificial Sword Maidens had been destroyed, and over a hundred sword bearers had died on the city wall.
If this continues … we might be able to hold on for three and a half hours … Sword Immortal Ling Xu estimated the rate of casualties and thought optimistically.
Unfortunately, Sword Immortal Ling Xu's optimism soon faded. This was because a domineering figure in silver armor suddenly appeared on the city wall. With a light wave of the spear in his hand, the shields of the dozens of Sword Maidens around him were all shattered in an instant. Their bodies were reduced to ashes, leaving only a pile of broken swords on the city wall.
With just the power of a single spear, these Sword Maidens were all destroyed. They didn't even have the slightest ability to resist.
"It's Yu level Yuan Kou, Alexander the Great!" Sword Immortal Ling Xu's pupils contracted as he recognized this silver-armored Yuan Kou.
Sword Immortal Ling Xu knew very well that he couldn't allow this Yu level Yuan Kou to continue killing as he pleased on the city wall. Otherwise, most of the Sword Maidens would be destroyed by his hands.
"Wangshu Sword Maiden!
I'm counting on you! "
Sword Immortal Ling Xu had no choice but to immediately summon the Wangshu Sword Goddess, who was on the other side, to teleport to Alissanda's side. Right now, only the Wangshu Sword Goddess, who was also an Immortal Sword Maiden, could battle Alissanda.
Although the Wangshu Sword Lady was able to quickly tie down Alissanda, preventing him from attacking the other weaker sword ladies, the Wangshu Sword Lady soon showed signs of fatigue under Alissanda's attacks. In just two to three minutes, she was completely suppressed, and the power of her personal barrier began to plummet rapidly.
"Damn it, I've expended too much energy fighting that giant dragon just now. The Wangshu Sword Maiden is no longer a match for this Yu level Yuan Kou!"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu said through gritted teeth. In order to defeat Kang Na, Sword Immortal Ling Xu had already expended all of his reserves … This wasn't just a simple depletion of sword essence. Instead, he had also expended the essence within his body. This kind of loss couldn't be recovered without a month or two. Thus, the Wangshu Sword Maiden was naturally at a disadvantage. If she continued to fight Alexander like this, the Wangshu Sword Maiden would lose sooner or later.
Sword Immortal Ling Xu was so worried about this that he didn't even notice the faint ripples in the air around him.
Archerons easily arrived at Sword Immortal Ling Xu's side. Sword Immortal Ling Xu didn't even have time to react before he was struck by Archerons' Finger of Death. Sword Immortal Ling Xu's entire body was instantly sent flying, crashing heavily into the city wall. The energy of the protective shield around him was instantly depleted by about 10%.
The Finger of Death was one of Archerons' most famous techniques. The effect of this technique was very simple and violent. In an instant, it dealt a massive amount of burning damage to his opponent.
What was even more terrifying was that this technique couldn't be dodged. The only shortcoming was that it had a relatively short casting range. Archerons had to be within a hundred meters of his opponent before he could use this technique.
If it wasn't for the fact that Sword Immortal Ling Xu was distracted and didn't have time to hide in the void, Archerons's Finger of Death wouldn't have struck him so easily.
"Oh no!"
In the instant that he was struck by the Finger of Death, Sword Immortal Ling Xu understood that he was already in an extremely terrible situation. This was because the Finger of Death also had an extremely terrifying effect. That was, it could temporarily seal the ability of the target to hide in the void. This also meant that after being struck by the Finger of Death, Sword Immortal Ling Xu wouldn't be able to hide in the void for a short period of time to avoid Archerons's continued attacks.
With Sword Immortal Ling Xu's shoddy swordsmanship, how could he possibly avoid Archerons' entanglement? Archerons's Finger of Death had depleted ten percent of the energy of Sword Immortal Ling Xu's shields. In a situation where he couldn't hide in the void, Sword Immortal Ling Xu even doubted whether he could last more than ten minutes under Archerons's direct attacks.
At this time, Sword Immortal Ling Xu's best response was to escape. As long as Sword Immortal Ling Xu could escape into the Dimensional Wall of the core area, he could borrow the protection of the Dimensional Wall of the core area to prevent Archerons from attacking him. He could also wait until the effects of the Finger of Death wore off to hide in the void and continue to command the Wangshu Sword in battle.
However, Sword Immortal Ling Xu was also very clear that if he really hid in the core area, then Archerons, who had lost the control of the Immortal Sword Tier swordsman, would unhesitatingly attack the Sword Ladies on the city wall. The safety wall wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from Archerons, a Yun-level swordsman like Yuan Kou. At that time, there would definitely be a large number of Sword Ladies and swordsman casualties. This would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the swordsman fighting on the city wall of Yuzhang City.
"Forget it!
I'll just leave these old bones here! "
Just as Sword Immortal Ling Xu was preparing to fight to the death with Archerons, a Sword Qi that Sword Immortal Ling Xu was extremely familiar with descended from the sky. Archerons had made the same mistake as Sword Immortal Ling Xu just now. All his attention was focused on Sword Immortal Ling Xu, and he didn't even notice that a sharp Sword Qi had shot out from above his head.
This distraction was a fatal blow to Archerons. The Sword Qi easily chopped off Archerons's arm, and the sky was filled with red magma-like blood that sprayed out.
In the blink of an eye, Archerons had become a cripple.
