Chapter 36

After finishing his words, Dongfang Bubai made no move, only closing his eyes and carefully sensing the aura from before.

He Qi and the others were extremely angry and powerless, looking at Dongfang Bubai's figure, they really wanted to order a volley of arrows to shoot him dead.

But they also knew that the power of their bows was limited. If they shot a lot, it could pose some threat to a general Seventh Stage Xiantian expert, but it would only be a slight threat. Beyond that, it wouldn't work, and as for dealing with Dongfang Bubai, they could only laugh it off.

So they could only buy time, waiting for that beast to arrive.

Fifteen minutes, which is a quarter of an hour, passed quickly. Even through the touch of his sword, Dongfang Bubai couldn't find that aura. He knew it was because the other party was far away and deeply hidden. Otherwise, his sword would have told him where the person was.

This was one of the reasons why no one could escape his sword-drawing technique. It wasn't just that the other party wasn't fast enough, but also because he didn't need to find the enemy's location; his sword would naturally tell him where the true target was.

As for whether it was because the other party's strength was too high for him to sense, his intuition told him it wasn't.

Putting aside the matter of that aura for the moment, Dongfang Bubai silently opened his eyes, looking at the Wudujiao members on the gate tower who were already on high alert. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Although he had never intended to make Wudujiao surrender so easily, this didn't stop his anger.

His anger at Wudujiao's lack of respect, he was a man who didn't reason, and with a raise of his right hand, the long-prepared Rizhuyue Sect disciples' expressions changed, gripping their weapons tightly.

"Rizhuyue Sect disciples, listen to my order," Dongfang Bubai coldly shouted.

"Present!!"

A thunderous response echoed.

"Capture Wudujiao for me."

"Yes!!!!"

"Kill...!"

"Kill!!!"

...

Amidst the thunderous shouts, the thousands of disciples behind Dongfang Bubai, led by Ren Woxing and others, directly charged towards the stronghold.

"Fire arrows!!" He Qi was about to say something but stopped, blurting out the words "fire arrows."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!!!"

Sharp arrows quickly shot towards the Rizhuyue Sect disciples. The Rizhuyue Sect, of course, also had bows, and both sides shot at each other.

"Thud...!!"

"Clang...!"

"Ah...!!!"

The sounds of arrows piercing bodies, weapons blocking arrows, and the cries of those hit by arrows continuously rang out. The previously calm scene suddenly became brutal.

This was, after all, a martial arts battle, different from a national army war. Although bows had some power, they were still a minor part. The most important thing was the level of martial arts.

Indeed, Ren Woxing, Zhao He, Fan Song, and others had already led the charge to the stronghold gate, but their faces suddenly changed...

"Hisss...!"

"Gurgle...!"

"Whistle...!"

Countless venomous creatures rushed out from every small corner, seemingly endless. At a glance, they were all kinds of venomous creatures. The majority of the Rizhuyue Sect members immediately changed color, their forward rush pausing. On the gate tower, the arrows from Wudujiao also stopped.

At this moment, dozens of people appeared from the Rizhuyue Sect camp. Each person held a head-sized package in both hands, and with a forceful throw, they tossed these packages in front of the venomous creatures.

As soon as the packages landed, they emitted a thick smoke, accompanied by a strange odor. The countless venomous creatures, upon smelling this odor, retreated like rats seeing a cat, quickly disappearing.

"Ha ha ha! The things brought by Pavilion Master Ping are truly powerful, subduing these beasts," Fan Song laughed loudly, and the others also smiled.

On the gate tower, the Wudujiao members were all shocked, not expecting the Rizhuyue Sect to so easily deal with the countless venomous creatures of Wudujiao.

He Qi and the other high-level figures became even more serious, quickly ordering to continue firing arrows.

Ren Woxing and the other experts didn't idle, dividing into two groups. One group used lightness skills to fly up the ten-meter-high stronghold, while the other group forcefully attacked the massive and sturdy gate.

On the stronghold, the Wudujiao members, of course, wouldn't sit idly by. Large rocks were thrown down from above, and the experts led by Ren Woxing continuously dodged the rocks. This slowed their upward momentum, preventing them from reaching the top of the wall.

At the gate, led by Fan Song, these powerful experts used various methods to fiercely attack the gate made of century-old ironwood. The rocks from above posed no threat to them, and for a moment, various colors of internal energy lights flickered at the gate.

"Bang!!"

The gate made of century-old ironwood was incredibly sturdy. Even with the attack strength of Fan Song and others, which could shatter a rock weighing several thousand pounds, it only trembled slightly, showing how thick and strong it was.

At this moment, most of the Rizhuyue Sect disciples had also arrived at the base of the wall. Countless ropes accurately hooked onto the protruding parts of the gate tower, and they bravely climbed up.

The brutal battle began in an instant. Every second, someone was injured, but they were all martial artists, and minor injuries didn't matter to them as they continued to fight.

However, most of the casualties were from the Rizhuyue Sect, as they hadn't yet engaged the Wudujiao disciples directly. The Wudujiao disciples also suffered injuries and deaths.

Using large rocks to prevent the Rizhuyue Sect from attacking, naturally reduced the pressure from their arrows. The Rizhuyue Sect's arrows, however, didn't decrease, and they shot towards the gate tower, causing injuries to the Wudujiao disciples.

Amidst the brutal scene, Ren Woxing, relying on his formidable martial arts, dodged the large rocks continuously flying towards him, finally leaping halfway up the gate tower. He laughed and was about to step onto the tower.

But before he could step onto the tower, several internal energy forces attacked him. In mid-air, he could only hastily palm them away.

"Bang!"

A loud noise echoed. Although Ren Woxing was a Grandmaster-level expert, he was the weakest of the Grandmasters, and his body was in mid-air. With the advantage of numbers and the "momentum" boost, he was forced off the gate tower, landing back on the ground.

"Humph!" Ren Woxing angrily looked at the gate tower, where He Qi, Lan Ping, and other Wudujiao experts were looking at him coldly.

Not just Ren Woxing, but the other experts also faced the same situation. As they were about to reach the gate tower, the Wudujiao experts rushed up and drove them back.

The battle continued for about twenty minutes. By then, the gate tower was stained with bright red blood, and the sounds of brutal fighting were everywhere.

Dongfang Bubai still stood there quietly. Even seeing many Rizhuyue Sect disciples lose their lives, his eyes showed no emotion, as if none of this concerned him.

Behind him, besides some guards, Zhang Chengyun and a thousand Qinglong Hall disciples stood, and Dongfang Bai also brought several dozen subordinates to stand behind him.

Dongfang Bai's face was slightly pale, and some of the women behind her were also pale. After all, it was their first time witnessing such a large-scale battle. Dongfang Bai, no matter how strong-willed, was only sixteen years old and had always been under Dongfang Bubai's protection, so it was normal for her to feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Dongfang Bai and the others couldn't help but smile, as Ren Woxing finally stood on the gate tower. As long as he stood there, with his Grandmaster-level strength, Wudujiao couldn't drive him down again.

With Ren Woxing up there, the other Rizhuyue Sect disciples would gradually charge up, and Wudujiao was doomed.

Only Dongfang Bubai remained calm, as if he didn't care about Ren Woxing reaching the gate tower.

"Lord, should we launch a full attack?" Zhang Chengyun asked excitedly.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Ren Woxing, who was now fighting He Qi and others, and nodded slightly, saying calmly, "You go too."

"Yes, Lord." Zhang Chengyun bowed and led five hundred Qinglong Hall disciples to charge up.

Soon, more and more Rizhuyue Sect disciples climbed onto the gate tower, and the Rizhuyue Sect's momentum was overwhelming. At this point, even the Wudujiao disciples were almost in despair, and the onlookers couldn't help but sigh that Wudujiao was finished.

A sect that had existed for hundreds of years was so easily destroyed! This made them sigh, and Dongfang Bubai hadn't even acted yet.

But it was also true. With Wudujiao's venomous creatures being ineffective, they had lost a significant advantage and were no match for the Rizhuyue Sect. Although Dongfang Bubai hadn't acted, Ren Woxing, a Grandmaster-level expert, had, and even with the "momentum" boost, it was useless.

Just when everyone thought Wudujiao was finished, and even He Qi and others had lost hope...

"Roar!!"

A roar that seemed to come from ancient times suddenly echoed, making everyone's bodies tremble and stop their actions. A mysterious fear appeared in their hearts, as if some prehistoric beast had appeared.

Even experts like Ren Woxing were momentarily distracted, but this wasn't because of the roar. They had already sensed an incredibly powerful aura rising from within Wudujiao and rapidly approaching them.

This aura was astonishingly powerful, causing them to feel some fear. The powerful aura also carried an indescribable wildness, making them realize that it wasn't a human but a beast. But what kind of beast could have such a powerful aura?

While He Qi, Lan Ping, and others felt some fear, they were more excited, and some experts kept muttering, "Finally, finally."

Dongfang Bubai, who had been standing quietly, no longer looked calm. He became serious, with a hint of excitement. His left hand, gripping the hilt of the White Sharp Sword, tightened. His sword told him that the one coming was very strong.

Feeling the aura rapidly approaching, Dongfang Bubai's expression became increasingly serious, and he coldly shouted, "Rizhuyue Sect disciples, listen to my order, retreat quickly."

All the Rizhuyue Sect members didn't dare to delay, quickly retreating behind Dongfang Bubai. Even Ren Woxing and others who had already climbed onto the gate tower reluctantly jumped down.
