Chapter 2072: The Faith of the Four Nine Immortal Sect

Within the core control cabin in the Starfire Battleship.

A door opened up in the energy crystal, and Liu Qianhuan’s long legs strode through. She emerged in her usual young sorceress costume, and she turned to the man before her with a complex expression. “Who would have thought that a day would come when I would relinquish my spot as the battleship pilot…”

Xuanyuan Cheng replied with a warm smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll only use it once. I probably won’t get another chance to do so in the future.”

Liu Qianhuan bit down on her lower lip and retorted in a quiet voice, “What are you saying? I’m a very generous girl; if you want to pilot it again in the future, I’d be happy to lend it to you… So you better look after yourself and don’t force yourself beyond your limits. Just launch a few cannon blasts and call it a day. I’ll take care of everything outside!”

Xuanyuan Cheng strode through the cabin door. “If I don’t come back, then tell Shu Honglan…”

“Alright, I’ll give Shu Honglan happiness,” Liu Qianhuan nodded and interjected.

Xuanyuan Cheng: “???”

“If you don’t want me to take Shu Honglan, then you better come back alive and well!” Liu Qianhuan’s usual cheeky demeanor was replaced by an earnest expression.

A surge of warmth flowed through Xuanyuan Cheng’s heart, and he nodded in response.

The cabin doors began to close, and the connection was being established…

An exceptional sword immortal descended from the Starfire Battleship.

A black Snow Ghoul immediately pounced toward her.

All of the black Snow Ghouls possessed power comparable to that of the Return to Void Stage mighty figures, and they were also responsible for hunting down enemy mighty figures. If the Return to Void Stage mighty figures refused to engage them in battle, then they would be free to unleash large-scale spell techniques, which were extremely fearsome as well.

Green flames burned on the sharp claws of the black Snow Ghoul, and the fire contained unimaginably lethal poison. If it were to enter one’s body, they would instantly be paralyzed before the flames incinerated them into ashes.

In conjunction with another black Snow Ghoul, it was able to use that same technique to bring down one of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Return to Void Stage mighty figures. It was already envisioning the beautiful scenes where the gorgeous woman before she howled in agony as she fell to its flames.

With that in mind, the black Snow Ghoul’s grin became even more sinister.

It was moving extremely quickly, but after reaching within a five-kilometer distance away from the woman, it suddenly felt its movements grow more sluggish. Furthermore, it was only getting slower the closer it approached her.

What was going on?

The black Snow Ghoul looked up at the woman, only to find that she was wielding her Great Ice Sword, and her speed had not been hampered in the slightest. In that instant, a sense of horror suddenly welled up in its heart. The toxic flames that it was so proud of had suddenly been frozen solid in that peculiar domain.

No…!

Whoosh!

The blade of the sword flashed through the air.

The black Snow Ghoul was sliced cleanly in half, and its life force completely disappeared.

It wasn’t even able to unleash so much as a single attack before it was insta-killed!

That female sword immortal was none other than Liu Qianhuan, and even when she was only at the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, she was already capable of slaying Dao Integration Initial Stage super mighty figures. She had since reached the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, so taking care of a black Snow Ghoul was a very simple task for her.

After slaying that enemy, she didn’t falter in the slightest before she rushed toward another black Snow Ghoul, moving in a graceful and elegant manner.

She was like a peerless female sword immortal that could kill anyone in her way and the subject of nightmares to all of the Snow Ghouls!

She was tasked with destroying all of the powerful beings among the Snow Ghouls who were trying to threaten the Starfire Battleship! As for the massive Snow Ghoul army down below, that was something for Xuanyuan Cheng to take care of!

Aside from Liu Qianhuan, the likes of Ye Ling, Cassidy, Tobias, and Long Aotian were also nightmarish beings to the Snow Ghouls. Their powers far exceeded their cultivation bases, and they formed a defensive circle around the Starfire Battleship, one that was proving to be impenetrable to all of the Snow Ghoul powerful beings.

The Return to Void Stage black Snow Ghouls were unable to break through, so they could only place their hopes in the massive army of fifty million Snow Ghouls down below. No matter how powerful their enemies were, they would be tired out at some point.

Wearing them down through sheer numbers appeared to be quite an appealing option.

The power of the Starfire Battleship’s cannon blasts weakened further and further, allowing the Snow Ghouls to advance far more quickly than they had in the past. A sea of white surged forth, quickly closing in on the main mountain peaks.

“Quick! Let’s crush them once and for all!”

“Their battleship is out of ammo! Let’s tear them apart, then tear their battleship apart!”

The Snow Ghouls were well and truly sick of the bombardment raining down from the battleship. That was the main reason why they had yet to reach the main peaks of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect. With the power of the cannon blasts on the wane, a fantastic opportunity had been presented to them, and they began to charge ahead with renewed ferocity and bloodlust.

Soon, close to a thousand more Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect disciples perished in the battle.

About a dozen or so Soul Formation Stage powerful beings from the Four Nine Immortal Sect had also fallen. They were simply facing too many enemies and were crushed by sheer numbers.

However, that did not scare off the remaining cultivators; they were still fighting with all their might on the front lines.

“Charge!”

“Avenge our brothers!”

“Hahaha… I’ve already killed a thousand of these dumb beasts, so I’ve taken more than my fair share! With brothers like all of you by my side, I have no regrets even if I die!”

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion erupted.

Just as he was about to be inundated by a wave of beasts, a man chose to burn the energy within his body and self-detonate. The resulting explosion reduced several hundred of the Snow Ghouls around him into chunks of flesh and blood.

“Brother Wang Yu!”

“Dammit!”

The cultivators from the Four Nine Immortal Sect gritted their teeth and fought with all their might. All of them were riddled with wounds, but they still stood in the face of the overwhelming Snow Ghoul army like pillars of strength and fortitude amid turbulent waves.

“There are countless vulnerable citizens behind us; we must hold on!”

“I haven’t even had a chance to touch Sect Leader An Lin yet; I must hold on!”

“The greatest thing that has ever happened to me is joining the Four Nine Immortal Sect. I no longer have any regrets in life…”

“I’m very honored to have fought by everyone’s side, but I must take my leave now…”

“No!”

Boom boom boom…

A series of self-detonations erupted.

In that earth-shattering battle, anyone could be the next being to fall.

Xiao Ze, Dongfang Zhuangshi, and the other Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures were being dominated by the three Heavenly Gods. On top of that, there were many black Snow Ghouls and countless normal white Snow Ghouls. They were at a severe disadvantage regardless of whether it came to the number of troops or the quality of their most powerful beings.

In reality, all of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members knew that they were most likely fighting in the final battle of their lives. Even so, they were still determined to fight until the very end.

If their weapons broke, then they could use their fists. If their vital energy ran dry, then they could sacrifice their blood. If they really had nothing else to offer, then they could detonate themselves for one final spectacular explosion…

No matter how dire a situation they were in, all of the Four Nine Immortal Sect disciples still held hope in their hearts. They knew that if they continued to fight, miracles could always happen! There was always a chance that the tables could be turned!

That was the faith of every Four Nine Immortal Sect member!
