Dual Sword God - Chapter 70: A Desperate Situation

The sound of his clothing flapping in wind was drowned out by the ghostly cries and battling practitioners, as a large stream of blood could be seen flowing from his chest in endless amounts, falling onto the pavement of the platform.

Xuan Lie looked at the sword that was plunged deeply into his chest from behind his back, a familiar looking sword with the engraving of bright sun on its surface. In front of him, stood two groups very familiar forms, as the sky blue robes of a few individuals and the bright flame-like capes on top of a few shiny armored individuals each fluttered softly in the ghostly winds.

As if he couldn't believe what he was seeing Xuan Lie carried a shocked expression on his face as he inquired with the last of his willpower. "The Sky Splitting Sword Sect... My Bright Flame Knights... Why?..."

A man from both groups walked out and said in a cold emotionless tone. "The dead need not ask questions." as he said this, the sword plunged deeply into Xuan Lie's chest was ruthless wrenched out from behind, causing a geyser of blood to flow out.

As he felt his life leaving him, Xuan Lie moved his gaze with the last of strengths to gaze upon the voluptuous ghost behind him, with a weary expression on his face he spoke softly. "Yan... er... I have failed you..." his voice trailed away with the wind along with what remained of his now tragic life.

Thud! As his corpse fell to the ground completely devoid of all life, the members of Sky Splitting Sword Sect and Bright Flame Knights nodded their heads and scattered amongst the crowded practitioners, killing many of the unsuspecting practitioners.

Standing beside the corpse, the pale ghostly Xuan Yan stood quietly as she gazed at Xuan Lie's dead body with an emotionless face. If one were to look closely, they would see vague hints of tears at the corner of her eyes. However, it was soon replaced by an even more merciless and cold gaze as she rushed towards the practitioners killing many who stood in her path.

*****

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As the Cloudy Ghost Corpse Army fought a with practitioners and individuals from the various influences, shockwaves upon shockwaves began to spread throughout the area. The floating platforms started to grow unstable as chunks of their foundations fell down towards the distant Machen Town, falling through the dark clouds that blanketed all below.

One practitioner managed to rip a ghostly corpse to piece with his bare hands, as a feeling of wildness overtook his being his confidence rose. A pity, however, as this practitioner was about to launch another attack on a nearby ghostly corpse, a sharp pain was soon felt at the back of his neck.

"Argh!.." Instantly, the practitioner began to scream in pain as he tried to reach his hand to the back of his neck, but to his dismay, his body soon started to cease its functionality.

It was a Cloudy Ghost Corpse that quietly snuck up behind him, biting into the flesh from the back of his neck. Looked closely, one would see streams of dark energies flowing into the neck of the practitioner from the teeth of a ghostly corpse. The skin starting front the back of practitioner 's neck started to grow pale as his body too started to change color, eventually losing movements and all signs of life.

Thud!

As the corpse of the man now fell onto the ground, a greenish transparent cloud swiftly flew into his body as if it was waiting for the chance. Soon, the eyes of the fallen practitioner started to glow in the same eerie green light as the ghost corpses as he sprung to his feet attacking a nearby comrade in arms with his weapon.

Slash! Puff.

The practitioner was cut into two pieces, as blood splashed over a wide area. Another Cloudy Ghost Corpse bit into the man that was currently split into two, following which, another ghostly shade entered his body. Within moments, the corpse of the man started to reattach itself, its internal organs hanging lose with its body parts slightly disorganized.

A truly gruesome sight to behold...

A beautiful woman who was battling one of the special Warrior Realm ghost corpses upon seeing this scene felt shocked, she quickly gathered her battle qi and used it to amplify her voice. "Don't get bitten by the corpses! They have the ability to stop your movements and If you die you will become an addition to their forces!"

Quickly, she waved the whip in her hand which began to spin, causing a variety of blood red roses to create a field of roses which blocked the special ghost corpse, as she alternated between battling the ghost corpse and protecting her nearby Blood Rose Union members.

The other major influences and rogue practitioners hearing her words were filled with even more dread, as they swiftly reorganized themselves to fight against the corpse army more carefully.

Slash!

An unsuspecting practitioner that was battling a ghost corpse lost his head, as a sky blue robe individual that was fighting beside him slashed his sword at him.

Suddenly, the field became even more chaotic as these sky blue robed individuals and flame-like caped individuals began to hinder each of the influences and rogue practitioners actions.

"Damn! Traitors! Everyone watch out for the Sky Splitting Sword Sect and the Bright Flame Knights!" said a True Foundation Realm rogue practitioner as he counter-attacked a Sky Splitting Sword Sect's elder.

"Help Me!" said a rogue practitioner that struggled to resist as he was ganged up by a Bright Flame Knight and a Sky Splitting Sword Member.

"How dare they attack the same side?!" said another practitioner as he rushed forward to help.

"This measly country bumpkin influence dares to aid the enemy, kill them!" said a Major Character from the Dark Sky Pavilion as he also attacked the group.

The Rain Sword Sect, Seven Blade Mercenaries, and other major influences also alternated between fighting the corpse army and traitors.

*****

At at the summits of the sky, far away from the door that was being attacked with green rays. Three different battles were occurring at blinding speeds.

BANG!

Two individuals collided created multiple waves of energy blasts that sent ripples across the sky, each of their blows where earth-shaking as they could be heard even a few kilometers away.

A handsome man surrounded by ghastly looking green skulls would flick his fingers, causing the ghosts that surrounded his ethereal-like figure to soar towards the woman in white. While the opposing woman would simply point her finger towards a massive golden wheel, causing countless golden runes to shoot towards the assaulting green skulls.

After a few more bouts, both individuals receded as they released that neither could gain the best of each other in their battles. Gui Sheng frowned, he moved his gaze from the woman in white and noticed that Gui Zi and Gui Mei where both evenly matched with their opponents, he then looked at the woman in white an spoke.

"Hmm, I didn't think you're guards where so powerful, both having half condensed their 'TrueSoul's' stepping into half-step TrueSoul Realm. Interesting, if our clan members weren't gifted with abnormal battle efficiencies this battle may have gone in slightly different direction. Are you sad about this beauty?..." said Gui Sheng in a slightly mocking tone as he looked at the beautiful woman in white.

Hearing his words, the woman in white looked on indifferently as she pondered while glancing at the door in the distance. "Master was right! The Ancient Fiend Races were all capable beings that cannot be judged by normal standards. Since I cannot reach the barrier, I'll have to find a way to the door, if I can only reach the door I may be able to turn this situation around."

As if he realized her thoughts, he spoke once more. "Jie Jie! You think I don't know what you want to do. Originally, I wasn't so sure about who you are? or where you came from? But now, I think I've got a good idea about 'what' you are..."

When Gui Sheng said this, a hint of surprise came over the woman in whites face as she thought to herself. "What? How did he?..."

As he saw her expression and the hint of surprise she was trying to hide Gui Sheng sneered, he looked into her eyes as he spoke once more."Truly interesting! Try as you might you cannot hide your bloodline each time we fight, you want to activate the Guardian Link of the Mystic Realm Door don't you? Freeing the restraint it's placed upon that Ancient Dragon Construct? Ha Ha Ha! While such an approach is viable, it won't be enough to stop us you see, for we have come prepared."

As if something was waiting for him to finish his speech, there was a sudden change.

Rumble.

The world shock once more, as the energies bombarding the ancient door started to change, turning into large chains that connected themselves to both sides door.

The dark clouds surrounding the Chosen Battle Arena started to change, gathering into one massive entity which positioned itself above the door. Revealing the lifeless an mostly ruined town below, a pity though, that each of the practitioners were currently battling with their lives on the line, unable to waste a single moment to look at the scene below.

Soon, the chains started to make noises as if they were being pulled by something within the mass of dark clouds that stood above the door.

CREAAKK!!

The sound of the door being forcefully opened resounded throughout the region. However, it was a slow process as the ancient door started to release even more terrifying Dao Fragments to counter the chains.

Upon seeing this scene, the woman in white lost her composure and shouted. "No! Do you know what you're doing? If you continue to forcefully open the door there will be massive repercussions."

"Ha Ha Ha! You mean the destruction of everything here, why should we care? We only came to release whats inside, as for what will happen to us? There is no need to worry about that, as we will soon gain the doors rightful privilege which will secure us from its prestige." as he said this, he smirked as he looked towards the Chosen Battle Arena.

"You can't mean!" the woman in white exclaimed as she also glanced towards the Chosen Battle Arena.

*****

"Golden Dragon Fist!" roared Xun Yanshan as a large stream of battle qi erupted from his fist, creating a large golden fist that shot towards Fei Tan who stood before his path.

"Profound Mind Methods: Wargod's Javelin!" said the elder from the Southern Revolution Faction, as a semi-transparent javelin appeared in his free hand. He then formed an arc with his body as the muscles in his arm holding the javelin started to bulge with terrifying mind force gathering around the javelin, quickly his body acted like a spring as he swung his arm tossing the javelin towards Fei Tan from the side.

As if the two attacks of the high-level Warrior Realm practitioners in front of him were nothing, Fei Tan took a deep breath and released a ghostly cry.

Within moments, the sound waves of his ghostly cry collided with both attacks.

BOOM! A loud explosion occurred which sent chunks of broken sections belonging to the platform, scattering into the air to distant parts of the platform crashing into assaulting ghostly corpses and practitioners.

"Dammit! We can't continue like this, as the situation is growing worse by each passing moment." Xun Yanshan cursed he looked at the injured practitioners a few hundred meters behind them, battling with the ghost army and the traitors.

"It makes no sense to worry about what cannot be changed, our objective remains the same to break the core of the formation." said the man from the Southern Revolution Faction with a clear-headed expression.

Fei Tan hearing this smirked as he spoke. "Sorry to say, it is but a futile attempt on your part, as even if you reach the core you will not be able to do anything." as he said this, he promptly turned his body stretching his hand towards a distant unnoticeable sea of leaves that was almost within the region of the formation core.

Sensing the danger coming from behind, the man from the Midnight Temple inside of leaves made a strange hand sign, causing the leaves to disperse. Soon, his figure reappeared at the sides of Xun Yanshan and the man from the Southern Revolution Faction.

BANG! Fei Tan's hand then crashed into the ground creating a crater.

"Chet! Such sharp senses, my 'Hidden Leaves Art' was broken so easily." said the man from the Midnight Temple.

"To think the famous Yin Shuye couldn't get past an opponent unnoticed, your reputation may fall if word gets out." Xun Yanshan mocked from the side as he momentarily glanced at the man from the Midnight Temple.

Yin Shuye hearing this frowned but did not say anything as he looked at the man from the Southern Revolution Faction and asked with interest. "That mind technique you're Nei Sinian aren't you?"

As he heard this, Nei Sinian merely nodded his head as he didn't bother to respond keeping his eyes on Fei Tan who had now retracted his hand.

Xun Yanshan looked at the Nei Sinian in surprise as she thought to himself. "So it was he, the brother of the 'Tyrant of the South,' no wonder Nei Dongyan could be here. Hmph! How could one notice any of these guys with all of that cloth wrapped over their bodies?"

Fei Tan looked a Yin Shuye with a smile on his face before glancing at all three and speaking. "Should I let you guys in on a little secret."

Hearing his words the faces of the three of them became solemn as they quietly stared at Fei Tan, Fei Tain smiled as saw their reactions and spoke once more.

"Purging everyone here isn't our only goals, for you see, there are also few treasured items that we have to collect."

As he said this, the looks on the faces of Xun Yanshan, Nei Sinian, and Ye Shuye instantly changed becoming filled with shock and anger as they looked towards the Chosen Battle Arena.

*****

As these battles raged on, there were a few other platforms that started to changes of there own.

BLAZE!

A sea of fire blanketed a platform as a group of individuals stood proudly inside of fire barrier, positioned at the center of these flames. Their red hairs glowed brilliantly as if they were deities from the fire realm, as they looked at the unmoving Cloudly Ghost Corpses bathing in the sea of flames.

At the front of these individuals stood a youthful looking man who gave off the pressure of a peak low-level Warrior Ream expert, he looked to the people behind and spoke.

"It's time for us to make our stand.."
