Chapter 10: The Sudden Turn of the Battlefield
For Lian Yun, the Ten Thousand Sword Technique in Yin Yang City faced its greatest limitation: controlling distance. One kilometer was truly not very far; after all, his ideal was to kill enemies from a thousand miles away.
Thus, at the beginning, Lian Yun's purpose in borrowing ten thousand soldiers from the Xianjian Sect was to extend the control distance of his long sword.
However, during this High Emperor Beast Tide, the Ten Thousand Sword Technique faced restrictions once again.
His control range was one kilometer, and the length of the Soul Sword was also one kilometer, meaning his combat range actually spanned two kilometers.
Yet, between one kilometer and two kilometers ahead of the battlefield lay the combat zone of Yin Yang City's Three Major Troops, which forced Lian Yun to compress the control range of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique to within one kilometer beyond the city walls.
Because of this, Lian Yun's combat power, aided by Ten Thousand People, appeared similar to that of Xiao Jun, who had only a few hundred assisting him.
It was important to note that Lian Yun and Xiao Jun had nearly equal combat strength. Now, Lian Yun had the support of Ten Thousand People while Xiao Jun had only a few hundred, making it seem as if Lian Yun was far inferior to Xiao Jun.
However, Lian Yun had no intention of comparing himself to Xiao Jun. What he was thinking about was that there had yet to be any Peak Monarch-level Chaos Beasts appearing.
If it were just high-level Monarch Chaos Beasts, Lian Yun was confident he could hold out for Seven Seven Nights. But what if a Peak Monarch-level Chaos Beast showed up? His confidence would not be as strong, especially considering there were even stronger Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts.
He thought that if he could attack Chaos Beasts from two kilometers away, it would alleviate some pressure on Yin Yang City's Three Major Troops. This way, when Peak Monarch-level or even Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts appeared, the Three Major Troops would be able to impose more restrictions on them.
Otherwise, if two or three Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts charged in, the city wall where he stood could very well collapse immediately.
Once a Chaos Beast breached the city, it would trigger a chain reaction leading to total chaos and countless casualties throughout the city.
Xiao Chengzhong was among a group of Ten Thousand Intermediate Monarchs. Their strength and comprehension had significantly increased in various aspects. This allowed Lian Yun to adjust their states in less time, resulting in an even larger Illusory Greatsword.
However, this time, Lian Yun did not merge the giant sword formed by them with the Soul Sword; instead, he used the Illusory Greatsword for himself.
It was likely to provide himself with a state akin to Mental Power.
Once the Illusory Greatsword was in place, Lian Yun soared into the air, reaching the outer wall and then flying a thousand meters to the rear of the Three Major Troops' combat zone.
As long as the aura of the Illusory Greatsword remained unbroken, he would smile knowingly. Then he swung his sword, slaying a Chaos Beast from a thousand meters away.
As a result, Lian Yun's kill rate surged almost instantaneously.
It should be noted that the Chaos Beasts within a thousand meters outside the city had already been filtered through by the Three Major Troops, making them considerably fewer. Beyond the Three Major Troops, however, there were plenty of Chaos Beasts, even piling up in heaps.
Thus, even Lian Yijian's kill count increased tenfold or even dozens of times. Moreover, the attacks continued unabated.
However, under such circumstances, the ten thousand disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect at Intermediate Monarch level could only provide Mental Power without gaining anything in return.
So after attacking for a while, Lian Yun returned to the city wall and then merged the Soul Sword with the Illusory Greatsword to slaughter the Chaos Beasts within a thousand meters.
In the following four days, since only Chaos Beasts of High Emperor level appeared, there were no unexpected incidents across the Twelve Cities and their total of Forty-Eight City Walls.
Each Major Power also reaped certain rewards.
At the very least, they gained a significant amount of White Spirit Coins.
During these four days, Lian Yun also achieved tremendous gains.
Disregarding the White Spirit Coin for now, he continuously practiced the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, gaining a deeper understanding of it—an experience that could not be acquired through mere contemplation.
Then came the six groups of the Ten Thousand People team. Under Lian Yun's constant influence, they were almost able to reach a state of unity naturally.
This meant that once they fully recovered, Lian Yun would be able to utilize their Mental Power immediately.
In this situation, Yaochi allocated nearly half of their personnel to support the other three city walls. However, Zhuang Wuxue did not leave.
She stayed behind, likely as a precaution!
On the fourth day, amidst the Chaos Beast Tide, some Chaos Beasts with Top Emperor-level strength began to appear.
The Three Major Troops fought with all their might to repel them, resulting in more lightly injured high-level Supreme Chaos Beasts breaching the Three Major Troops' defenses.
However, this posed little problem for Lian Yun's city wall.
Firstly, Lian Yun's understanding of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique had deepened, increasing its attacking power. Even the Chaos Beasts with Top Emperor strength suffered moderate injuries upon breaching their defenses, significantly reducing their combat effectiveness. This allowed Lian Yun to face them with ease.
The situation in the other Twelve Cities or the forty-seven city walls was similar, with only slight variations.
For instance, initially, the Peerless Monarchs shared Lian Yun's thoughts of fighting outside the Three Major Troops' combat area to alleviate their pressure. However, by now, the Peerless Monarchs had moved to the center of the battlefield outside the city and were not engaging much in combat; instead, they focused entirely on rescuing those in life-threatening situations.
Over two days, although countless perilous scenes unfolded, overall there were more surprises than dangers, and the Twelve Cities did not suffer many casualties.
However, on the final day, starting at midnight, a gloomy and oppressive aura began to spread among the Twelve Cities.
For two hours, although there were close calls, the situation was still alarming. The fact that even a Peerless Monarch level Chaos Beast had not yet appeared made it all the more frightening. If a Peerless Monarch were to show up, casualties would be inevitable.
With such thoughts in mind, anxiety began to accumulate. At the start of the seventh hour, Twelve Cities and the Four Great City Gates saw Peerless Monarch level Chaos Beasts breach the defenses of the Three Major Troops. Outside the city walls, several incidents involving the deaths of Monarchs were reported.
This led to an outburst of negative emotions.
It is important to remember that this was a Beast Tide, and each city wall typically had only one Peerless Monarch, at most two.
As a result, in the minds of those on the battlefield, even if there was only one Peerless Emperor Level Chaos Soul Beast being held back by a Peerless Monarch, they still faced a significant risk of death when encountering injured Top Emperor level Chaos Beasts.
This was especially true for those who had previously experienced life-and-death crises.
Without the aid of a Peerless Monarch, many began to feel disheartened.
If they had to retreat, so be it; punishment was better than losing their lives. After all, as long as they survived, they could find another way to fight another day.
Thus, some Monarchs pretended to be gravely injured and withdrew from the battlefield. The situation in the Twelve Cities took a turn for the worse.
