The appearance of Adam's true body quickly caused a huge commotion in the human defense line. This giant only needed to wave his fists, and he could easily pulverize the city walls of Yuzhang City. In just a short while, a section of the city wall that was about a kilometer in length was completely destroyed. Over two thousand ordinary people, as well as a few dozen sword bearers who couldn't escape in time, died under the giant's attacks.
"What do we do?
Miss Xuanyuan, do you have any way to deal with this giant? "
After Gu Xuanyuan had saved Yuzhang City countless times, Sword Immortal Ling Xu was already very used to leaving this kind of thing to Gu Xuanyuan to deal with. He only needed to carry out Gu Xuanyuan's orders … In the eyes of outsiders, this was an extremely laughable thing. How could a mighty immortal sword bearer listen to a spirit sword bearer? However, this was so natural to Sword Immortal Ling Xu.
"Master Sword Immortal Ling Xu, how much time do we have left?
How much time do we need before the super dimensional wall protection system can be reactivated? "Gu Xuanyuan asked Sword Immortal Ling Xu in return.
"One and a half hours!"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu looked at his own personal terminal. "To be precise, there's one hour, 27 minutes, and 36 seconds left."
"Master True Lord Erlang!
Do you have a way to temporarily delay this giant for one hour, 27 minutes, and 34 seconds? "Gu Xuanyuan turned to True Lord Erlang and asked.
"Of course I have a way!"
True Lord Erlang first patted his own chest arrogantly. However, he quickly changed the topic, and a slightly guilty expression appeared on his face. "But after that battle with you just now, I haven't completely recovered the power in my body. I might not be able to deal with this giant for the time being. After I rest for a few hours, I can kill him!"
"Ptui!
Even if your immortal power is full, it's all been sealed by the Ring of Perfection. Even if you rest for a few years, you still won't be able to kill him! "Sword Immortal Ling Xu was very displeased.
"Alright, True Lord Erlang, let's be honest. If the two of us join forces, do you think we can deal with this giant?" Gu Xuanyuan asked in an extremely cautious manner.
"You should know the answer to this question better than I do!"
True Monarch Erlang Yang Jian smiled bitterly, "Even if I still have my immortal power, it's impossible for me to destroy a hundred-meter-long city wall in one strike. Your city wall has a large amount of dimensional alloy added into it. It's very difficult even for an Eon Rank. I'm afraid that only Flood Rank or Desolate Rank Yuan Kou can do this."
"From the looks of it, this giant's strength should have reached the Desolation Grade. Even if I were at my peak, I wouldn't be a match for him. On the other hand, if your sword element wasn't sealed by the Ring of Perfection, you might be able to hold him off for a while."
"Then what should we do?" Sword Immortal Ling Xu became even more flustered upon hearing Yang Jian's words.
"Retreat!"
Gu Xuanyuan took in a deep breath, before saying resolutely and decisively, "Everyone, retreat back to the core area immediately, and give up the defense of the common area!"
"What?" Sword Immortal Ling Xu was in disbelief upon hearing Gu Xuanyuan's words. "Why?
Miss Xuan Yuan, weren't you the one who encouraged everyone to defend the walls of the Common Area?
Why are you telling us to retreat now, Miss Xuan Yuan? "
"There's no way we can deal with this giant, and those cavalrymen outside the city wall are also preparing to charge in through the gap in the city wall. There's not much point in continuing to defend the city wall now, and it would only be a waste of human lives. It's better to rely on the dimensional barrier system in the core area for defense," Gu Xuanyuan said calmly.
"But what's the point of retreating to the core area?
The sword element in our bodies has all been sealed, and we can no longer inject sword element into the dimensional barrier system in the core area. Without the continuous infusion of sword element, the dimensional barrier system in the core area won't last for long! "Sword Immortal Ling Xu hurriedly explained.
"Are you sure about this?"
Gu Xuanyuan asked solemnly. "Are you sure that the sword element of the sword bearers protected by the dimensional barrier system in the core area has also been sealed?"
"I'm sure about this!"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu immediately nodded. "We've left a portion of the sword bearers in the core area, and their sword element has also been completely sealed by the Ring of Perfection.
Without the replenishment of sword element, the dimensional barrier system in the core area won't be able to hold out against such a large number of Yuan Kou's attacks for thirty minutes. "
"Is this what all the sword bearers are saying?
Are there any spirit sword bearers left in the core area? "Gu Xuanyuan pressed further.
"There isn't …" Sword Immortal Ling Xu's aura faltered. "All the sword bearers above the famed sword rank have come out to fight. They aren't staying in the core area."
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Ling Xu to immediately bring a spirit sword bearer into the core area and see if their sword element has been completely sealed by the Ring of Perfection," Gu Xuanyuan quickly said to Sword Immortal Ling Xu.
"Yes!"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu didn't say anything else, and immediately teleported into the core area through a quantum teleportation spell formation. Not long after, he teleported back, and said excitedly, "Miss Xuan Yuan, how did you guess this?
The spirit sword bearers and immortal sword bearers indeed haven't had their sword element completely sealed by the Ring of Perfection. The spirit sword bearers have returned to the ancient sword rank, while I've returned to the famed sword rank! "
"What's so hard about that?"
Gu Xuanyuan said with incomparable calm. "The dimensional barrier system is a device made from Imperial Alloy, and it itself has the power of an empress sword bearer. It wouldn't be a problem for it to block a portion of the power of the Ring of Perfection with this kind of power. This is also why the dimensional barrier system itself still exists under the illumination of the Ring of Perfection.
"Most importantly, if the Ring of Perfection is really strong enough to seal the sword element of our sword bearers through the dimensional barrier system, then we humans would have perished countless times already."
Gu Xuanyuan looked at the Ring of Perfection above her head. "Otherwise, as long as a few primordial grade Yuan Kou came to guard the Ring of Perfection in the sky, then without the replenishment of sword element, the super dimensional barrier system would be broken through by Yuan Kou in just two or three days. All of the human base cities wouldn't be able to defend themselves, and we humans would have perished long ago.
"So I'm sure that the effects of the Ring of Perfection can be blocked by the dimensional barrier system … It's just that the dimensional barrier system in the core area is a little smaller, and its power is also a little weaker, so the effects of the Ring of Perfection still managed to seep through a portion.
As long as we can hold on until the super dimensional barrier system reactivates, then the effects of the Ring of Perfection will probably be completely blocked. Under the protection of the super dimensional barrier system, all of us will be able to recover to our peak condition. When that time comes, it'll be a piece of cake to deal with those Yuan Kou who have infiltrated the normal area! "
"I understand!" Sword Immortal Ling Xu was completely convinced by Gu Xuanyuan's words.
"Since you understand, then hurry up and organize the remaining people to return to the core area through the quantum teleportation array. But remember, once everyone returns through the quantum teleportation array, immediately destroy all the quantum teleportation arrays outside the core area. We can't allow a situation like Yuan Kou entering the core area through the quantum teleportation array again!"
Gu Xuanyuan issued an order to Sword Immortal Ling Xu, and Sword Immortal Ling Xu immediately carried it out. Soon, all of the normal people and sword bearers began to enter the core area through the quantum teleportation array in an orderly manner.
"You're very decisive, I like it!" Yang Jian appeared behind Gu Xuanyuan. "But what about the people in the normal area?
If we retreat from the core area just like that, the normal people in the sanctuary will most likely suffer heavy losses. "
"When did True Lord Erlang of the Heavenly Court start to care about the lives of the normal people?
Besides, we've always been enemies with Yuan Kou and the humans, okay? "Gu Xuanyuan sneered.
"I, True Lord Erlang, am not as heartless as my uncle!"
Yang Jian smiled bitterly. "I've stayed in the Guan River Estuary for over three thousand years, and I've also enjoyed three thousand years of worship from the humans. I, Yang Jian, am the child of a human and an immortal, so how could I be heartless to the humans?"
"But you're Yuan Kou now. Isn't Yuan Kou's ultimate goal to kill all of us humans?" Gu Xuanyuan said with disdain.
"There are also differences among Yuan Kou, and I'm different from my uncle and the others …" True Lord Erlang shook his head. "Forget it, it's my fault for being meddlesome. Since your heart is as hard as stone, then what's the point of me thinking about this!
I'm not my adorable mother, that unlucky woman who's been a saint her entire life. "
…
Alexander the Great soon received a report from Yuan Kou, who was flying in the air and monitoring the entire city wall. The humans on the city wall were already beginning to retreat to the core area through the quantum teleportation array.
"The humans are beginning to retreat to the core area!"
Alexander the Great said excitedly. "It looks like the humans really can't do anything to us this time. They can only hide in the core area and struggle to survive!"
"But now is not the time to be too excited!"
Alexander the Great began to adjust his emotions and calm himself down. He turned to Ling Boli, who was beside him, and said, "The most important thing now is to break through the defenses of the core area.
According to some of the information we have, the humans' super turtle shell system can be reset in at least one day.
According to the estimation you gave me, the humans' super turtle shell system can be reset in at least an hour. We must break through the turtle shell system in the core area within an hour. As long as we can attack the core area, then Yuzhang City will be ours! "
"Understood!" Ling Boli nodded and closed her eyes, as if she was communicating with Adam about something.
Soon, Adam stopped smashing the wall and turned to quickly advance toward the core area.
"Warriors of Macedonia!
Let's go! "
Alexander the Great also shouted loudly. His most elite Macedonian phalanx also began to advance. They entered the ordinary area of Yuzhang City through the gap of a few kilometers that Adam had just opened.
