Chen Ping and Ling Xi watched the divine guards falling one after another around them. Their hearts were filled with helplessness and pain.
They knew that if things continued like this, the God King Palace would eventually be breached.
“We must destroy that circle!”
Chen Ping said through gritted teeth. His gaze was fixed tightly on the circle in the distance from which demonic cultivators kept surging.
That was the source from which the demonic cultivators kept arriving endlessly. As long as they destroyed it, they could cut off the demonic cultivators’ reinforcements.
“Alright, let us try together!”
Ling Xi nodded. She formed seals with her hands again. Streams of spiritual power surged towards the circle.
Chen Ping also took a deep breath. He poured all his spiritual power into the Dragon Slaying Sword, then slashed fiercely towards the circle.
“Boom!”
The Dragon Slaying Sword and Ling Xi’s spiritual power struck the circle at the same time, producing a huge bang.
However, the circle only trembled slightly and was not destroyed.
Seeing this, the great elder sneered. “With just the two of you, you think you can destroy my teleportation array? What a foolish dream!”
With that, the great elder’s figure flashed. He appeared in front of the circle. He waved his hands. Streams of black light flew out from them, forming a huge shield that protected the circle.
“Keep attacking!”
Chen Ping shouted loudly. He and Ling Xi launched another attack.
But no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through the great elder’s shield.
As time passed, the people from the God King Palace retreated step by step. In the end, they could only hold position at the gate of the God King Palace.
They leaned against the palace gate. Their eyes were filled with determination and tragedy.
At this moment, the demonic cultivators arriving from the circle kept increasing.
Seeing that the people from the God King Palace had been pushed to a desperate situation, they all showed smug smiles.
One by one, the demonic cultivators began to curry favour with the Evil Path Hall’s Witch Young Master and the great elder. They all wanted to cooperate with the Evil Path Hall and hoped to gain benefits in this battle.
“Witch Young Master, from now on, our Giant Demon Sect will follow the Evil Path Hall. We hope the young master will take good care of us!” The sect master of the Giant Demon Sect said with a face full of flattery.
“Haha, of course, as long as you perform well, the benefits will not be lacking for you!” The Witch Young Master laughed proudly.
The third hall master looked at the tens of thousands of cultivators before him. His heart was immediately filled with smug satisfaction.
He stood at the front of the crowd, hands on his hips. He shouted loudly, “Ling Xi, Chen Ping, it is not too late for you to surrender now. Otherwise, once we break through the God King Palace, you will all die without a burial place!”
Ling Xi looked at the third hall master’s arrogant appearance. Her heart was filled with anger. She responded loudly, “Third hall master, you are a member of the God Hall, yet you collude with the Evil Path Hall and lead demonic cultivators into the Eighth Heaven. Are you not afraid of the God Hall’s punishment?”
The third hall master sneered. “The God Hall? Can the God Hall still control me now? Once we destroy the God King Palace and control the Eighth Heaven, what can the God Hall do to me?”
Chen Ping looked at the third hall master’s rampant manner. In his heart, he secretly swore that he must find a way to turn the situation around.
He carefully observed the surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed that although the great elder was powerful, his attention was mainly on the circle and attacking the two of them. The defences in other places were relatively weak.
“Fourth hall master, I have an idea!”
Chen Ping said softly to Ling Xi. “In a moment, I will attract the great elder’s attention. You find an opportunity to disrupt the energy supply to that circle. As long as we cut off the energy, the circle might be destroyed!”
Ling Xi nodded. “Alright, you be careful yourself!”
With that, Chen Ping took a deep breath. His figure moved. He charged towards the great elder.
The Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand shone brightly. Streams of fierce sword intent headed towards the great elder.
Seeing this, the great elder sneered. He quickly formed seals with his hands. Streams of black light flew out from them, colliding with Chen Ping’s sword intent.
