“Listen up, people of the three southern sects, kill everyone from the Yuehua Sect, leave no one alive!”
This was the command jointly issued by the sect leaders of the Gu King Sect, Poison King Sect, and Tang Sect.
They were determined to completely extinguish the Yuehua Sect’s hopes here.
“Attack!”
“Kill!”
“Slaughter everyone from the Yuehua Sect.”
The battle cries echoed through the sky.
The three southern sects had brought a considerable number of people this time.
There were more than ten inner sect elders alone, and with the Sword King Sect, the total approached twenty.
On the Yuehua Sect’s side, there were only four or five inner sect elders, and even with Wu Xiang included, they were clearly no match for their opponents.
At this moment, the people from the three southern sects and the Sword King Sect roared and charged forward, clearly resolved to completely wipe out the Yuehua Sect’s vital forces here.
After all, this place gathered the most elite disciples of the Yuehua Sect, along with its most outstanding sect leader and inner sect elders. If they all died, the Yuehua Sect would not be far from collapse.
“All Yuehua Sect members, listen up, we may die but we will not be humiliated. In today’s battle, retreating means death, advancing means death, so we will die standing!”
Wu Xiang roared, releasing all his true energy, single-handedly holding off Chen Nanxing and the three sect leaders of the southern sects.
Facing four opponents alone, he did not fall behind.
His bravery gave the rest of the Yuehua Sect enough courage.
“Let’s go all out, today we’ll unleash a massacre!”
Golden Light Venerable roared, his body radiating brilliant golden light. The dazzling light caused the people from the three southern sects and the Sword King Sect to pause for a moment, and the blood-red sand on the ground turned golden.
“Golden Light Venerable, take this weapon!”
Ling Xiao’s eyes flickered, fully aware that in this battle, if the Moon Lady could not intervene in time, the Yuehua Sect would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
Both in terms of numbers and overall strength, this was the case.
So he had to enhance the strength of the Yuehua Sect members, especially the inner sect elders.
The best way to boost their strength in a short time was through weapons!
Heavenly Realm warriors could fully unleash the power of immortal-grade treasures, and Ling Xiao still had several unused immortal-grade treasures.
Lending these to the inner sect elders temporarily posed no issue.
A flash of golden light, and Golden Light Venerable now held a blade in his hand.
“Good heavens, it’s actually an immortal-grade treasure!”
Golden Light Venerable had been puzzled, wondering what kind of weapon Ling Xiao could give him, but when he gripped the blade, he was overjoyed.
With an immortal-grade treasure, a Heavenly Realm warrior could take on two or even three opponents of the same realm without issue.
You see, the Tianlong Continent is vast, and the total number of immortal-grade treasures is not small.
But the number of warriors is even greater.
As a result, the number of immortal-grade treasures available to each warrior is extremely limited.
Most Heavenly Realm warriors only use rare-grade treasures, and those are typically unenhanced by refining stones or various gems.
Owning an immortal-grade treasure is simply a luxury.
This was why Golden Light Venerable preferred not to use weapons; an ill-suited weapon was worse than none.
But now it was different. An immortal-grade treasure could fully unleash his Heavenly Realm warrior strength.
Boom!
The long blade gleamed, and with one slash, it felt as if it could tear the heavens apart.
The terrifying blade energy instantly killed an inner sect elder from the three southern sects who had rushed forward.
It was this person’s bad luck for not noticing the blade’s power, thinking it was just an ordinary weapon, which led to his swift death. Otherwise, with his strength, even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t have died so miserably.
“Hahaha, who else dares to come!”
With an immortal weapon in hand, Golden Light Venerable was truly formidable.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, then shot out several more beams of light, lending weapons to Heavenly Eye Venerable, Guanghan Venerable, and other inner sect elders.
All were immortal-grade treasures!
Moreover, the weapons he lent were suited to these elders, enabling them to instantly boost their combat strength upon receiving them.
“Is this kid the reincarnation of the Hundred Treasure Immortal? How does he have so many immortal-grade treasures?”
“Hmph, he must have brought them out from the True Demon Forbidden Land. This kid really hit the jackpot.”
“It’s so enviable. For us Heavenly Realm warriors, getting even one immortal-grade treasure is incredibly difficult. How can this kid be so lucky? It’s infuriating.”
“Kill! Kill him, and those weapons will be ours!”
Seeing the weapons Ling Xiao produced, the people from the three southern sects and the Sword King Sect were not intimidated but grew even more frenzied.
Indeed, wealth moves hearts. Mere immortal-grade treasures could drive them this wild; what if it were divine-grade treasures? Would they lose their minds completely?
The people from the other sects were also jealous and envious.
But they restrained themselves from acting.
After all, not everyone was so shameless.
Of course, there was another reason: they wanted to see the outcome of this conflict become clearer.
Watching the tigers fight from the sidelines was easier than anything else.
Joining the fray now might get them targeted by both sides, but waiting a bit longer could change the situation.
“And these are for you!”
Ling Xiao didn’t care about their envious gazes. He took out rare-grade treasures as if they cost nothing, distributing them to all the Yuehua Sect disciples.
“As long as you survive, these are yours to keep!”
Ling Xiao didn’t care much for rare-grade treasures, so giving them away was no issue. Besides, this was the best way to motivate the Yuehua Sect disciples to fight.
Among these rare-grade treasures were not only weapons but also defensive artifacts, which would play a crucial role in the survival of the Yuehua Sect disciples.
If they could survive this battle, these disciples would become the backbone and core of the Yuehua Sect in the future.
In the battle of the four sects, the three southern sects and the Sword King Sect originally had an absolute advantage. But the problem was, Ling Xiao equipped everyone in the Yuehua Sect, instantly closing the gap.
What was once a complete rout was now only a slight disadvantage, and winning might take days of fighting to resolve.
“Little beast, killing you is the key!”
Unbeknownst to Ling Xiao, an inner sect elder from the Tang Sect had approached him.
He had finally realised that, although Ling Xiao’s cultivation wasn’t particularly high, his role was critical. If he could capture and kill Ling Xiao, it would be a massive blow to the Yuehua Sect’s morale.
A cold glint shot from his hand, aimed directly at Ling Xiao’s throat.
But strangely, Ling Xiao showed no intention of dodging, even wearing a mocking smile.
In a life-and-death battle, Ling Xiao wouldn’t hold back; he would use every means at his disposal.
The Tang Sect elder sensed something was off and was about to retreat when he suddenly noticed his hidden weapon had pierced Ling Xiao’s body, yet it had no effect.
