Eternal Saber-Chapter 271 - 55: Bringing Calamity to the East

Chen Tang gazed ahead.

In front, two units of marshals and their troops, adding up, probably totaled over ten thousand men, densely packed, had completely blocked the western route, encircling towards his position.

Among these troops, there were war chariots following along.

Each war chariot had at least one Mystic Master overseeing it!

Chen Tang hadn’t expected, that for someone like him with just a Sixth Grade cultivation, the Profound Celestial Sect would muster such a massive operation.

Attacking cities and seizing territories, wasn’t much more than this.

Under the two marshals, there was actually an army of over ten thousand.

The combined forces of the thirty-six marshals would number at least over a hundred thousand.

The Profound Celestial Sect’s influence in Qian Country could overshadow even the royal power, not only relying on the Profound Sect’s magical methods but also on such an army that obeyed only the Profound Celestial Sect!

The Thunder Leopard stopped in its tracks, raising its front hooves repeatedly, displaying internal turmoil and unease.

"Can we break through?"

Chen Tang asked.

The Thunder Leopard did not answer, but began to retreat.

Back in Bingzhou, when Chen Tang faced encirclement and blockage from various forces like Yuwen Dong, Sun Gu, and others, the Thunder Leopard had let out a tiger-leopard roar to break through the ranks of many soldiers and flee into Yongzhou.

At that time, the city defense force blocking the way numbered only a few hundred, and the County Captain’s cultivation was just Fifth Grade.

The Thunder Leopard’s roar threw the military into chaos front and back, allowing them to escape.

However, the current situation was vastly different from before.

In front, there were over ten thousand elite soldiers, with over a hundred Mystic Masters overseeing them.

Among them were Second Grade Innate experts like Sun Tianlu and Zhou Haijian, and a Golden Core True Master like Elder Qu.

If the Thunder Leopard tried to charge through forcefully, it would be seeking death!

Chen Tang pondered briefly and came up with a plan.

"Go, turn back!"

Chen Tang patted the Thunder Leopard and it turned to run back the way they came.

"Chase!"

Sun Tianlu and Zhou Haijian commanded their troops to give chase towards Chen Tang.

Elder Qu snorted coldly, leisurely following behind.

In his view, Chen Tang was already desperate and without direction.

As long as they kept Chen Tang confined within the Qingzhou Peninsula, continuously compressing space, Chen Tang would have no escape!

At the easternmost edge of the peninsula, there was no way out; it was boundless, unfathomable, the vast East Sea.

In that East Sea, waves roared and undercurrents surged. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Never mind a Sixth Grade Martial Artist like Chen Tang, even an Inner Qi Martial Artist placed in the vast sea couldn’t last long without a place to stand, certain to meet death.

Only those who cultivated to Second Grade Innate and opened the Ren and Du Meridians, forming a self-contained world within, capable of inner breathing, could barely sustain themselves in the water for extended periods.

But even so, that would be only in shallow seas, without the attacks from numerous sea beasts.

Once reaching the deep sea, not even a grandmaster strong enough would dare to venture there.

There, countless unknown terrifying creatures lay hidden in the depths!

Among them, there were even the legendary East Sea Giant Demons!

The Thunder Leopard ran back the way they came, under Chen Tang’s guidance, traveling at a moderate speed.

It kept just far enough from the pursuing army to avoid the range of arrows and flying swords but not completely shake them off.

Not long after, a peculiar tremor came from the ground ahead!

Chen Tang squinted slightly, signaling the Thunder Leopard to slow further.

The pursuers were closing in more and more!

Suddenly, the trees in front shook, and from the dense forest, a silver-white Flood Dragon, about seven or eight meters long with claws under its belly, emerged with a murderous aura!

Upon seeing Chen Tang, the Silver Flood Dragon’s eyes surged with endless fury, roaring towards the sky!

"Brothers, it’s this beast, kill it for me!"

Chen Tang raised his arm and called out!

The Silver Flood Dragon noticed Chen Tang returning, daring to turn back and charge at it, and its murderous intent intensified, burning with anger, wanting to tear Chen Tang to pieces!

Yet in its heart, there was some doubt.

How could this weak human still dare provoke it?

Until it charged out of the woods, seeing the rolling dust and marching flags behind Chen Tang, with over ten thousand troops rushing this way, each drawing bows and drawing swords, did it suddenly realize!

So they had mobilized an army to encircle and eliminate it!

This human dared greatly!

This group of people deserved death!

The Silver Flood Dragon knew the Profound Celestial Sect, recognized the Right Protector, but didn’t recognize these people before it.

It recalled the scene of the Juvenile Flood Dragon’s tragic death, and its murderous intent had accumulated to the peak, finally erupting at this moment!

"Hiss!"

The Silver Flood Dragon roared to the heavens, unexpectedly spewing out an internal core, about the size of a fist, round and rolling.

Chen Tang, seeing this scene, dared not linger before the Silver Flood Dragon, immediately turned his horse and escaped.

Sun Tianlu, Zhou Haijian, Elder Qu and others arrived close by and were dumbfounded upon seeing a silver Flood Dragon appear ahead.

They all knew the Right Protector of the Profound Celestial Sect raised a Flood Dragon.

However, that Flood Dragon was black.

Where did this silver Flood Dragon come from?

The matter of the Silver Flood Dragon, let alone them, only a few in the entire Profound Celestial Sect knew about it.

Before this, the Silver Flood Dragon had never shown its face.

The Profound Celestial Sect’s army stopped quickly upon seeing the Silver Flood Dragon, their faces showing fear.

This Silver Flood Dragon clearly came with ill intentions, and the gaze it cast upon them brimmed with enmity.

After Chen Tang shouted those words, the enmity in the Silver Flood Dragon’s eyes transformed into outright murderous intent!

Sun Tianlu, Zhou Haijian, Elder Qu and others felt their hearts sink, silently crying out that things were not going well!

"Wait, we are not..."

Sun Tianlu looked at the enormous creature charging at them, his face pale, attempting to explain.

But no matter what he said now, it was of no use.

Chen Tang was running towards their side.

The Silver Flood Dragon was also charging towards them.

Under their command, over ten thousand soldiers began to feel unbearable pressure, releasing bowstrings, arrows shooting towards the Silver Flood Dragon.

Even some Mystic Masters unleashed flying swords to strike the Silver Flood Dragon!

Compared to Chen Tang, the Silver Flood Dragon instilled far greater pressure and fear in them!

At that moment, almost all attention was drawn to the Silver Flood Dragon.

Clang clang!

Numerous arrows struck the Silver Flood Dragon, sliding off.

Several flying swords struck the scales of the Silver Flood Dragon, only emitting crisp sounds with sparks flying, unable to harm it in the slightest!

Such attacks were not even worthy of being called an itch for the Silver Flood Dragon!

Sun Tianlu, Zhou Haijian, Elder Qu, and others looked ashen.

The battle had already been engaged.

Any verbal explanation now would be utterly pale.

Furthermore, this Silver Flood Dragon had just lost its child, was in a frenzy, and had long lost its rationality.

Roar!

The upper body of the Silver Flood Dragon suddenly lifted high, looking down on the more than ten thousand troops of the Profound Celestial Sect, its massive abdomen wriggled for a moment, then suddenly opened its mouth, spraying a torrent!

This torrent, passing the inner core suspended before it, split into streams of water arrows, covering the people below.

Splosh splosh splosh!

These water arrows were more powerful than the soldiers’ arrows!

In an instant, countless soldiers met their demise.
