Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 460: 223. Battle of Longguan Prefecture_3

Gu Tianyun, while watching his own grand army stream into separate formations, never took his eyes off the Demon Sect's defensive force atop the city wall. Observing that the enemy hesitated to take the initiative to attack, his gaze suddenly revealed a trace of fierceness.

The diversion of an eight-hundred-thousand-strong army, even at its fastest, takes considerable time. The enemy should have seized this chance to strike first, which would be the smart choice. Since the Demon Sect dared not do so, it meant that they knew even a preemptive strike would be futile.

This undoubtedly reinforced his earlier conjecture; Zhan Taiqing truly did not anticipate his leading a vast army straight to Longguan.

In that case, the more than seven hundred thousand strong army of the Demon Sect...

"Attack the city!"

The diversion of the troops had ended. Gu Tianyun drew his Rongtian Sword, pointing it directly at the East City Wall of Longguan County City. With his cultivation of the Qiányáng realm fully unleashed, a single fierce shout instantly resonated between heaven and earth.

"Charge!"

"Kill..."

"Eliminate all these thieves of the Demon Path!"

"Drive them out of my Xuzhou."

"Demon Path rebels, everyone deserves to be executed."

...

The eight hundred thousand-strong army, as if awakened by his words, surged with blood and Qi that soared to the sky, instantly forming a blood-colored torrent that blotted out the sun and sky.

It was unclear whether it was the successive roars or the thundering hooves of the Jinjia Army and Qingyang Army's war horses, but the ground began to tremble. A bloody gleam appeared on everyone's faces, igniting a blazing intent to kill, as the vast throng charged towards the East City Wall.

With eight hundred thousand soldiers attacking the city at once, one simply could not grasp the full scope with the naked eye. From a great distance, one could only make out the gold, silver, and Qing—the three colors of the armies, with two leading and one following. Almost in an instant, they swarmed over the walls like ants.

All soldiers attacking the city possessed at least the five levels of body refinement, rendering the city wall virtually invisible to them. The crossbow arrows from above posed a threat, but there were simply too many of them. For every one that fell, five, ten, a hundred more would rush up in their place. Almost instantly, they swarmed over the city wall, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Xuzhou's soldiers clashed with the defending forces.

The clash of swords and shields instantly filled the surrounding area. The ascending blood and Qi rapidly enveloped the entire land. Those at the forefront of the charge, whether attackers or defenders, all had crimson red pupils, their minds filled with murderous intent, void of fear, seeing and thinking of nothing but slaughtering the enemy!

The defenders were definitely the Brahman World Purifying Army!

Seeing the first wave of the Silver Armored Army blocked by the other side, Gu Tianyun instantly came to this conclusion.

Although the Silver Armored Army was merely a regular force of Xuzhou, not just anyone could withstand them. The white-robed army atop the wall managed to hold out for such a length of time, which was telling enough, not to mention that his perception of Qi revealed the cultivation of these white-robed soldiers was indeed above Ten Layers of Body Openings.

"Relying on just one hundred thousand members of the Brahman World Purifying Army to stop my eight hundred thousand-strong force, Zhan Taiqing, you are dreaming!"

As if to confirm the words in Gu Tianyun's mind, the Holy Sect's Jinjia Army and the Academy's Qingyang Army, attacking from the flanks, had already breached the southern and northern walls without anyone realizing.

They were already positioned along the southern and northern walls, charging directly at the city gates on their war horses. With the World Purifying Army entirely stationed on the East Wall, the Mansion Army from Yongzhou alone could not stand against the Jinjia and Qingyang Armies' onslaught, and the outcome was clear from the start.

"Zhan Taiqing, come out and meet your death!"

With the raging blood Qi of his own forces behind him, Gu Tianyun took to the sky with his Rongtian Sword in hand. In a spotless white robe, combined with an austere tone, he was like an exquisite swordsman detached from the world.

Though his voice was not as loud as the charging army's roar, it also instantly spread throughout Longguan County City and its surroundings, causing the already somewhat cold-hearted defenders, tens of thousands strong, to feel a slight chill in their hearts.
