As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1494 - 400: Waging War Across the Board—Who’s Afraid of Human Wave Tactics? My Soul Capturers, Rise Up
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The atmosphere was heavy, as if the pinnacle martial will encircling the entirety of Qianyuan Dao City, paired with the crushing weight of top-tier divine rank pressure, forced ordinary cultivators to shudder in uncontrollable terror and reverence!
An overt conspiracy...
This was a blatant, shameless scheme!
By utilizing the collective aura of these peak experts to display an overwhelming dominance, they intended to demolish the fighting spirit of everyone within Qianyuan Dao City, from the highest leaders to the common citizens!
Aboard the massive warship.
Xie Yushen rhythmically moved his feather fan, a thin, mocking smile playing upon his lips.
"To the distinguished figures of Qianyuan Dao City, I have made the first move. I wonder... how will you respond?"
...
...
Boom——!!!
Lv Taibai struck the table with a heavy palm.
He was ready to erupt, to draw the Taibai Sword and soar into the heavens to shred the oppressive auras that had sealed the sky and intimidated the souls of the city's inhabitants.
However, Fang Hanshu reached out to restrain him.
"Sect Master, if you release your Qi now, you might fail to pierce their formation. After all, they have Ji Moli, along with both Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect..."
Fang Hanshu spoke with a somber tone.
"Should you release your aura and fail to break their blockade, the disparity in our foundations and combat strength would be laid bare... Xie Yushen’s psychological ploy would then pierce our hearts like a dagger, twisted with malice."
Lv Taibai’s silver hair lashed about, his eyes burning with rampant sword qi.
The space between his brows throbbed as if it might split, the Dao Yujie Sword humming sharply within!
"But allowing this to persist is no solution either!"
Lv Taibai ground his teeth in frustration.
Fang Hanshu let out a long breath, turning his gaze toward Second Elder Zhao Fangzhou.
"Second Elder, please go and invite Elder Li."
Fang Hanshu instructed.
Hearing this, Zhao Fangzhou turned and departed without a moment's pause, his expression grim.
Feng Zhiqi was bewildered: "Great Elder, given the gravity of the situation, what is the point of calling for Elder Li?"
"Elder Li cannot alter the tide of this battle alone..."
It wasn't that Feng Zhiqi lacked faith in Li Che, but Li Che’s personal combat power was naturally limited, regardless of his previous victory as the champion of the Heroic Victory Conference...
The current crisis was simply too overwhelming.
Fang Hanshu merely shook his head slightly, offering no further explanation.
Just as Zhao Fangzhou reached the exit.
A silhouette glided in from the darkness.
A Mo Shan robe, embroidered with golden lotuses, fluttered against the night air.
Thick, dark hair whipped like black lightning through the sky, seemingly untouched by the terrifying martial will and rank pressure that blanketed the city.
"There is no need for the Second Elder to make the trip; I have arrived."
Li Che’s calm, steady voice reached their ears.
Every eye in the room focused on Li Che.
Observing Li Che’s unshakable composure, Fang Hanshu couldn't help but reveal a faint smile: "A Che, what are your thoughts on this?"
Lv Taibai also looked over.
The eyes of Feng Zhiqi, Wenlong Yuwen, Tang Xiejia, Gongshu Jingjun, and the others were all fixed on him.
Li Che exhaled slowly.
In the next breath, he pressed two fingers together, his sword fingers slicing through the void.
He pulled a mask from the rift and deliberately placed it over his features.
His hand swept across the surface.
Suddenly, the Horse Face mask was revealed.
Beneath the mask, his gaze remained exceptionally tranquil.
"Since they wish to contend with auras, then we shall give them a competition!"
"We have no fear of being outnumbered."
"They hope to slowly erode our willpower, but we will deny them that opportunity..."
"We strike back directly!"
As his words echoed.
The entire Temple Office fell into a stunned silence.
Feng Zhiqi and the others were utterly dumbfounded.
They never expected Li Che’s first suggestion to be so bold.
Had Li Che, having just reached the Martial Saint realm, become overconfident?!
Was this the recklessness of a newborn calf that does not fear the tiger?!
This...
How could they possibly fight?!
On the Imperial Court's side, they faced Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect plus Ji Moli—two entities equivalent to the Half-step Divine Tribulation realm!
Added to that were Gu Changqing and other Divine Sect Masters, totaling five peak-level divine auras.
On their own side...
The only ones at the top-level peak seemed to be Sect Master Lv Taibai and Great Elder Fang Hanshu. That was only two, wasn't it?!
But upon hearing Li Che’s declaration.
Lv Taibai suddenly erupted into boisterous laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
"I was simply waiting for you to say it!"
The moment he spoke.
A magnificent sword hymn resonated from his frame.
Lv Taibai vanished from his spot, manifesting high in the sky. His silver hair surged and his white robes billowed as his sword qi pierced upward!
The suffocating aura hanging over Qianyuan Dao City was violently cleaved, resembling a river flowing backward or stars tumbling from the firmament!
Lv Taibai fully unleashed the power of the Dao Yujie Sword.
His Half-step Divine Tribulation aura crashed ferociously against Ji Moli’s pillar of power!
The ground trembled and the celestial river seemed to sway!
Confronting the vast aura of the court's army alone, his presence appeared solitary, yet it carried a legendary, peerless courage!
"Hahahahaha——"
"I, Lv Taibai, am here!"
Meanwhile, as Li Che’s fingers moved away from the Horse Face mask, his toes pushed off the ground, and his form vanished into the void.
When he reappeared, he was standing atop the Treasure Tower on the flying eaves of the city's Qintian Observatory.
Within the tower.
Supervisor Hong Shifu leaned against the railing, holding chess pieces and placing them one by one onto a board.
Finally, he lined up five pieces.
Hong Shifu gave a wizened smile.
However, that smile didn't last three seconds.
He looked up with a touch of reluctance.
"This brat... intentionally showing up on the roof of my Qintian Observatory. Is he worried this old man won't get involved?"
Hong Shifu sighed deeply.
High on the roof.
The Horse-Faced figure in black robes stood tall, his stance as straight as a spear!
With eyes like deep pools, he stared directly at the terrifying peak divine auras of the court forces that dominated the horizon.
He exhaled a puff of hot air.
A group fight?
Who’s afraid of whom?!
His five-fingered hand rose sharply. On the rooftops of the surrounding structures, black mist began to spew, twisting and coiling before slowly rising from the ground.
"Soul Capturing spirits."
"Rise!"
