Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 138: Ambush of Three Thousand Armored Soldiers

Slaughter and destruction, this is an extremely domineering sword technique.

Compared to that, due to not having engaged in too much killing, not having too much anger and hatred, and not having the intention to destroy everything, Zhong Cang's Sword Heart is relatively calm and "natural".

Of course, this does not mean that Zhong Cang's sword technique is weak.

Sensing the fluctuations of all things and having a connection with all things, Zhong Cang's Wind Sword is elusive, while his Thunder Sword is swift and fierce. When wind, rain, and thunder gather together, Zhong Cang's sword can cause a celestial phenomenon to change drastically.

But this is not the end. If he cultivates to the Grandmaster level, when Zhong Cang's sword falls, it is as if the sky is collapsing and nothing can resist it.

Looking at Yue Qianqian and contemplating her sword technique, Zhong Cang had many thoughts in an instant.

While he was contemplating, the flying shuttle was still heading towards the Youzhou region of this world.

...

On the other side, in the Black Prison City of Youzhou, this is where the Black Mountain Legion is stationed.

With two hundred thousand armored soldiers, there are over several hundred thousand people serving them. These people have brought their families with them, making Black Prison City a relatively prosperous town.

At this moment, there are two places in the south and north of Black Prison City that are heavily guarded.

Armored soldiers with a fierce aura and cold gleaming crossbows are placed everywhere. With three thousand armored soldiers and hundreds of armor-piercing crossbows, these two places are heavily fortified.

Even after the decline of cultivators due to the thin spiritual energy, it is not certain that they can break through this place.

The two sides facing each other in the north and south are naturally the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect.

The people of the Cloud Firmament Sect are waiting for Zhong Cang and the others to arrive, while on the other side, the reinforcements from the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect... have already arrived.

In theory, when facing a common enemy, fellow cultivators should get along harmoniously.

Just like Zhou Cang and Yan Ying, no matter what they thought before, when Zhong Cang came to support them, they only felt gratitude in their hearts.

However, the cultivators from the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect on the other side are not like this.

If Zhong Cang were at the northern fortress, he would find that although there are many members of the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect gathered, they are divided into four distinct factions.

One faction wears blood-red robes, another wears crimson robes, another has a somewhat enchanting appearance regardless of gender, and the last faction has some demonic features.

The four factions gather together, while also being wary of each other.

However, considering the Cloud Firmament Sect as the common enemy, in the end, they did not start a fight but instead inquired about the situation in the city.

"How is the situation in Black Mountain City now?"

"Not good. That Legion Commander is very cunning and has been ambiguous in his attitude. Obviously, he is waiting for our offer."

"Heh, a mortal... Can we kill him or control him?"

"It's best not to have that idea. That Legion Commander is not a waste, but a Great Grandmaster. His strength is comparable to Qi Refining Late Stage. And his more than twenty years of war experience has made his will extremely tenacious. Ordinary means cannot control him."

"Those who directly attack the Cloud Firmament Sect, how about we kill them all? The so-called Black Mountain Legion naturally only has one choice, us!"

The person speaking last was dressed in a crimson robe, and their killing intent was heavy.

Upon hearing these words, a cultivator with demonic features shook his head and said, "The Legion Commander has long been prepared for this. The distance between our two locations is great, and we both have heavy defenses. If we act rashly, it may not yield results and will only push the Legion Commander here towards them."

The continuous rejections made the person in the blood-red robe impatient.

"This won't work, that won't work. It seems like you all haven't done anything these days, a bunch of useless people."

"What did you say, you bastard!"

With a "swoosh," the cultivator with demonic features was about to fight the person in the blood-red robe.

Unfortunately, the two sides about to fight were stopped by a team of strange male and female cultivators.

"Alright, everyone, there is still a great enemy nearby. It's not the time to quarrel."

The words to stop the fight were nothing out of the ordinary, but the voice carried a certain charm.

Once this special tone came out, the fighting spirit of both sides weakened several times over.

And this made them calm down.

Seeing this, the leader of the strange male and female cultivators, a girl who looked tempting, smiled.

"Everyone, leave the key to breaking the deadlock in the city to us. Give us two days, and I will investigate everything in the city and find a way to break the deadlock."

"But let's make it clear, leave the matter of breaking the deadlock to us, and the matter of fighting to you. We are weak and cannot handle such things."

"Hehe..."

No one believed the words of the enchanting girl Ding Rong that she was weak.

However, they agreed to Ding Rong's proposal. They would be responsible for gathering information and finding a way to break the deadlock, while they themselves would be responsible for the fighting.

...

After the division of labor was completed, the members of the strange female team quickly dispersed throughout the city.

Although the people of the Black Mountain Legion were being monitored, with the means of cultivators, they easily shook off the surveillance and began to investigate the information in the city in their own way.

And somehow, in just a day and a half, the members of the strange female team returned to the cultivator fortress. Ding Rong even came forward and summoned all the members of the Demon Sect.

"We have found a way to break the deadlock. Tomorrow at noon, the cultivators from the Cloud Firmament Sect will come to support us. We can ambush them halfway."

Upon hearing this, the impulsive leader in the red robe sneered.

"Ambushing them is not a problem. We have more people and can kill them all. But are you sure this will make the Black Mountain Legion join us?"

"Sending more cultivators over is not difficult for the Cloud Firmament Sect. You wouldn't just sit back and let us keep ambushing their cultivators from the Cloud Firmament Sect, would you?"

As he said this, the leader in the red robe, Wu Yan, had already become somewhat dangerous.

Other factions are the same.

It is not an easy task to fight against the Cloud Firmament Sect. Even if there are many people, they will still die.

From the clear distinction and constant mockery among the four factions, it can be seen that they are not united. They watch their teammates die without any psychological burden, and they may even laugh.

The enchantress Ding Rong also noticed the attitude of the others, but she didn't care at all, just giggling.

"Sister naturally won't sit idly by while you brothers suffer heavy losses. This ambush will be accompanied by Black Mountain soldiers to fight alongside you."

These words made the others exchange glances.

Finally, the irritable red-robed cultivator Wu Yan directly asked.

"You control the Black Mountain Legion to coordinate with us in the siege? "

"No, as Fellow Daoist from the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect said, that Legion Commander is like a stone in the latrine, cold and hard. However, in this city, it's not just the Legion Commander who can mobilize the army. Several vice commanders can do it too. Although most of the vice commanders have been fighting for years and are quite tricky, people always have their own desires. In the city, how many of the vice commanders are the sons and brothers of that Legion Commander? Dealing with these people is much easier."

At this point, the enchantress Ding Rong revealed a mocking smile.

"Hehe, what do you think? If the Black Mountain soldiers attack and kill the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect, and the leader is still the son of the Legion Commander, do you think he can still join the Cloud Firmament Sect?"

"..."

The people from the other three factions did not respond to this, but they looked at the members of the enchantress faction with some fear.

"I originally wanted to play with the enchantress, but now it seems better not to... We can't afford to provoke a woman from the Joyous Union Sect..."

...

The sudden attack put the Cloud Firmament Sect in a difficult situation in the Xuan Yuan Realm, and as a result, Zhong Cang and the others were a step behind and were found a way to break the situation by the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect.

However, Zhong Cang and the others were not caught off guard.

One reason was Yue Qianqian, who became more cautious after a disastrous defeat.

When they were still a hundred miles away from the Black Prison City, she became vigilant.

Another reason was Zhong Cang, who had comprehended the artistic conception of wind, and the flowing wind could always bring him information.

When they were still more than twenty miles away from the Black Prison City, Zhong Cang sensed something unusual from the scent of the wind.

"Halt!"

"Clang!"

"There are enemies!"

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Cang and Yue Qianqian simultaneously discovered the ambush.

The cloud shuttle, which had slowed down, made the demon sect cultivators who concealed their figures with secret techniques shake their heads.

"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to ambush them a second time."

"It doesn't matter, we have more people. Even if they are discovered, they won't escape death."

"Let the Black Mountain soldiers go first to consume their spiritual power and make them bear grudges."

"Hehe, that's a good plan."

The last one to agree was Ding Rong, the enchantress.

Although she didn't intend to let the members of her team participate in this battle.

But in order to control the son of the Black Mountain Legion Commander, she came in person.

At this moment, she just threw a flirtatious glance at the young man below, and that person, as if receiving an imperial decree, shouted passionately at his subordinates.

"Attack! Attack the demon in the sky!"

"I, as the second son of the Black Mountain Legion Commander, order you to kill the demon who is causing trouble for the Imperial Dynasty."

"Roar!"

No one stopped such orders... Those who dared to stop had already been eliminated or tempted away by Ding Rong.

Under the command of the second son of the Legion Commander, three thousand black-armored soldiers drew their bows and shot at Zhong Cang and the others.

At the same time, three hundred giant crossbows were fired in unison.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang and the others had discovered it in advance, so the shuttle was far away from the soldiers. By the time their attacks reached Zhong Cang and the others, they had lost much of their strength.

However, the giant crossbows and the arrow formation made it difficult for ordinary cultivators to break through. The more than ten Innate Martial Masters in the army could pose a threat to cultivators.

If they were entangled by Innate Martial Artists and surrounded by black-armored soldiers, ordinary cultivators would undoubtedly die.

Of course, Zhong Cang naturally didn't care about such threats.

However, the significance of the siege by the black-armored soldiers made Zhong Cang's face look a bit ugly.

"Did we come too late? Has the Black Mountain Legion already joined the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect?"

This thought appeared, but Zhong Cang shook his head and dismissed it from his mind.

"No, if they really joined, it wouldn't be three thousand soldiers besieging us, but a hundred thousand troops."

"This should only be a small part of the people who joined the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect, or they have been threatened and controlled by them."

After scanning the presence of the soldiers' battle formation, Zhong Cang's gaze finally fell on the demon sect cultivators behind the soldiers.

There were as many as one hundred and twenty people there.

While Zhong Cang's side only had ninety, but...

"We can fight!"
