Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 417: Chapter 349: Tribulation Cultivators Attack Celestial Longevity

"Kill!"

In the mountain forest, thousands of Imperial Guard soldiers held their ground in front of their respective arrow towers, waves of arrows like a rainstorm shooting towards the invading Tribulation Cultivators.

"Hahaha, mere mortal arrows, how can they possibly stop us?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

The Tribulation Cultivators laughed heartily, facing the arrow rain without a hint of avoidance, as several lights sparkled from their bodies, barely blocking the torrent of arrows, causing showers of sparks to continually flicker upon their forms.

At the same time, a barrage of Flying Swords, fire lights, and Talismans shot out from the darkness, wreaking havoc among the Imperial Guards.

In less than the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, over a hundred men had fallen to the onslaught of the Tribulation Cultivators.

"Fire the cannons...!"

At this moment, a shout of fury suddenly erupted from one of the camps.

It was seen that atop the cement-mixed fortress walls, the muzzles of the Red Coat Cannons were already aimed at the Tribulation Cultivators in the night.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!!"

In an instant, dozens of flames erupted in the night, solid cannonballs crashing into the forest like thunder, immediately severing numerous towering trees midway.

Fire erupted and blast waves rolled through, destroying countless great trees in mere seconds.

The Tribulation Cultivators hidden among them suffered heavy casualties, cries of shock echoing continuously.

"What cursed thing is this? Are there Cultivators hiding among these mortals?"

"Red Coat Cannon! This is the Great Yu Dynasty’s Red Coat Cannon! Damn it!"

"What is the Red Coat Cannon?"

"Enough nonsense! Get out of the way, don’t gather together, fight individually!"

In an instant, ten-odd shadows darted out from the dense forest.

They displayed their body techniques, continuously wielding Magical Artifacts and Talismans, slaughtering the Imperial Guard soldiers from hundreds of meters away.

As Cultivators, unless the Imperial Guard soldiers were extremely cautious, killing mortals was as easy as crushing ants.

This scene unfolded repeatedly at various camps throughout Celestial Longevity Mountain.

At least a hundred Tribulation Cultivators surged from all directions to massacre the soldiers within the camps.

However, most of the attackers were Early-stage Qi Cultivation Tribulation Cultivators and Loose Cultivators.

As for most of the Middle-stage and Late-stage Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivators, they were heading for the mountaintop of Celestial Longevity Mountain!

Their aim was to kill Emperor Zhengyong as quickly as possible, leaving Celestial Longevity Mountain leaderless, and to commence their plunder!

"Boom!"

Just then, a series of explosions erupted from the top of Celestial Longevity Mountain.

Amid the fierce flames, a woman in a dark Daoist Robe flew over the crowd, with a golden Flying Sword floating beside her.

Her willow brows furrowed upwards, her eyes filled with Evil Qi.

"Which Cultivators dare come to my Celestial Longevity Mountain, do you truly fear death?!"

"Xuan Jizi!"

"Qi Cultivation Late-stage Cultivator!"

"We haven’t seen each other in years, Xuan Jizi Daoist has actually advanced to Late-stage Qi Cultivation!"

"Those who stand in my way, will all be slain!"

Several roars erupted, and three figures flew out of the night to attack Xuan Jizi.

"Xuan Jizi, do you still remember Nanling’s Song Yuhua?"

"Go to hell!"

The third figure exclaimed coldly, masked in black, clearly not wanting to reveal their identity.

In the blink of an eye, three Flying Swords rapidly flew at Xuan Jizi from different directions.

"Hmph! Courting death!"

Xuan Jizi snorted coldly, pinching a spell with one hand, as the golden Flying Sword beside her emitted a sharp screech.

Facing three Cultivators of the same realm, Xuan Jizi didn’t evade but instead controlled her Flying Sword to retaliate.

In the night, a golden and a blue Flying Sword crossed paths swiftly, the crisp sound of metal clashing resonating instantaneously.

"Clang!"

"Crack!"

"My sword!"

In disbelief, the female Cultivator known as Song Yuhua screamed in shock, her mind trembling violently.

Her Flying Sword was cleaved into two pieces instantly upon clashing with Xuan Jizi’s Flying Sword!

Her Lifebound Magical Artifact shattered, Song Yuhua immediately suffered magical power backlash, spitting a mouthful of blood.

Yet before she had time to react, Xuan Jizi’s golden Flying Sword had already reached her.

"No...!"

She cried out, as the Jade Pendant on her waist suddenly flashed brightly, transforming into a golden light that encircled and protected her.

But... it was still useless!

Several years ago, Xuan Jizi had already infused a refined gold walnut-sized into her Flying Sword.

Rendering the entire Flying Sword exceedingly sharp and extraordinarily keen.

With just a flash of gold, the Flying Sword pierced Song Yuhua’s defensive Magical Shield, instantly slicing her in two.

"Splatter...!"

Song Yuhua was slain, blood spattering in mid-air.

Her companions couldn’t even bother to care, instead channeling magical power into their Flying Swords once more.

They intended to slay Xuan Jizi while she was preoccupied, thus claiming her sharp Flying Sword as their spoil!

But it was unexpected...

As their two Flying Swords drew near Xuan Jizi, her Daoist Robe suddenly shimmered, forming a starlight shield that steadily protected her.

No matter how they attacked, they couldn’t breach the defense at all.

"Top-grade Defensive Magical Artifact!"

One of them gasped, their eyes filled with greed.

"Hahaha... I heard Emperor Zhengyong of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty had a great fortune, acquiring a vast number of cultivation items. It proves true!"

"As long as we kill you... these items will be ours!"

"With just you lot?!"

Xuan Jizi retorted sarcastically, "Knowing full well this is the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty Emperor’s place of cultivation, and you Loose Cultivators dare to raid, aren’t you afraid of exterminating your Nine Clans?"

"Exterminate the Nine Clans? Hahaha..."

The man in black laughed mockingly, "For the sake of cultivation, I myself crafted my kin into Evil Ghosts. If someone wants to exterminate my Nine Clans, they can rot in hell!"

"Take action! Kill him!"

"Wailing wail...!"

Amid ghostly wails, a dozen shadows suddenly appeared behind the man in black, even causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop slightly.
