After discussing the details, everyone began their departure.

The Rebel Army split into six groups, with five heading toward the nearer Moon Peak positions, aiming to destroy them.

The Gongsun sisters, Guan Hao, Bo Mu, and twelve other experts would hold back the Divine Martial Guards, preventing any interference during the destruction of the Moon Peaks.

As for Lin Qianxuan, he had the task of dealing with the remaining ten Moon Peaks, bearing the greatest pressure.

Divine machines extended from the armor bodies of the Rebel Army, allowing them to walk along the walls effortlessly, rapidly ascending.

Gongsun Ying’s feet glowed brilliantly, leading Gongsun Yue directly onto the wall.

Guan Hao, Bo Mu, and others also demonstrated their skills, climbing swiftly.

Almost the moment they reached the wall, crimson pillars of light shot up from various places within the city.

Although Lin Qianxuan had warned them earlier, people tend to have a mindset of wishful thinking, and seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but feel a bit startled.

Beneath the wall, Lin Qianxuan replayed the information acquired from the game in his mind once again.

After confirming it was correct, a vast amount of mist suddenly spread towards him.

As soon as the mist enveloped him, he transformed into a True Dragon, soaring skyward.

“Roar!”

The Divine Dragon’s flight through the sky greatly inspired and bolstered morale.

Soon, Lin Qianxuan flew over the wall, aiming to reach one of the Moon Peaks.

But just then, a blue droplet-like meteor shot up from the ground, heading straight for Lin Qianxuan several hundred meters away.

Xiong De took action; he wouldn’t watch Lin Qianxuan destroy the Moon Peaks without interference.

In fact, if Lin Qianxuan used the Spiritual Energy Cannon for long-range attacks, Xiong De might directly form an array with the Divine Martial Guard and bodily block the cannon shells.

These were little details Lin Qianxuan had experimented with in the game.

Here, to destroy the Moon Peaks, Xiong De and the Divine Martial Guards are hurdles that cannot be bypassed.

Only by letting Gongsun Ying engage them could the others have an opportunity to destroy the Moon Peaks.

Splashes of water rushed out from the mist, clashing against the meteor, halting its motion, followed by a quick tail swipe from Lin Qianxuan, effortlessly knocking it back.

At this moment, he also saw Xiong De below, wielding the Meteor Hammer.

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

The synchronized footsteps echoed, caused by the Divine Martial Guards’ armor bodies stomping on Kyoto’s Immortal Stone floors.

“Expel the invaders, protect the people in peace!” *N

“Support Lin!”

At Gongsun Ying’s command, she leaped down from the wall, heading directly for Xiong De’s position.

The others swiftly followed suit.

Gongsun Yue’s gaze extended with tendrils, pointing out Death Mark spots within the Divine Martial Guards’ formation, which Gongsun Ying cleaved open with two swings.

Xiong De once again threw the meteor, which Lin Qianxuan easily nullified.

As Xiong De prepared for a third attack, Gongsun Ying and her team drew near to his location.

Boom!

Vast Divine Energy erupted instantly, Gongsun Ying entering a Bursting Qi state as Divine Energy steamed up to a height of more than twenty feet.

Clang!

Gongsun Ying cleaved the meteor with one strike, deflecting it to the side.

Inspiring flute music played, layering dark shields upon the Rebel Army members while an eight-foot tall dark swordsman manifestation appeared on Bo Mu.

The dark long sword moved, akin to an artist painting, revealing an ink landscape painting in the void.

The ink landscape painting pressed down from the void, covering and suppressing several Divine Martial Guards at once.

Seeing this, Lin Qianxuan could only say that the Supreme Sword Technique effect from Carefree Pavilion was indeed beautiful.

Guan Hao wasn’t as flashy, though he also manifested an eight-foot Primordial Spirit, simply wielding a large scythe and clearing through the Divine Martial Guards like mowing grass.

Gongsun Yue’s Eyes of Death had already been fully activated, constantly pinpointing the formation’s weak spots for everyone.

With no further worries, Lin Qianxuan sang out and flew towards one of the Moon Peaks.

As its location lay exposed before his eyes with no buildings to obstruct it, Lin Qianxuan’s Spiritual Energy Cannon hidden within the mist activated once more.

Bang!

The cannon shot out at high speed, instantly exploding upon hitting the target.

Rumble!

In mere moments, all structures in that area were obliterated to nothingness.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t admire his handiwork but immediately headed for another Moon Peak position.

His rapid actions ensured all nine shots of the cannon achieved success, each one destroying a Moon Peak.

Thus, this Celestial Level Spiritual Energy Cannon had fulfilled its mission.

On the other side, the Rebel Army acted swiftly, having destroyed three Moon Peaks.

Out of fifteen Moon Peaks, three remained.

Lin Qianxuan manipulated the Water Manipulation towards the last one he needed to destroy.

As he got closer, the gathered streams surged fiercely.

Splashes!

Splashes!

Splashes!

A row of waves crashed, causing the massive Moon Peak to immediately collapse.

Meanwhile, the Rebel Army was also destroying their last Moon Peak.

But by now, that last Moon Peak was already activated.

Boom!

A crimson meteor over a hundred meters in diameter was launched by the Moon Peak, crashing towards where Gongsun Ying and others were located among the Divine Martial Guards.

At that moment, the thirty-foot Primordial Spirit Dharma Form on Gongsun Ying suddenly appeared.

“Heaven Opening!”

It was one of the moves, Heaven Opening or Earth Opening, from the Heaven and Earth Opening Divine Saber Slash taught by Lin Qianxuan beforehand.

This scene didn’t exist in the game; in the game, Gongsun Ying and her team opted to evade.

Clearly, Lin Qianxuan had caused some butterfly effects.

Crash!

The colossal meteor was cleaved directly by Gongsun Ying’s refined Sword Qi, splitting into two halves.

She was suspended in mid-air, panting heavily.

Despite the unmatched power of the blade, it consumed over fifty percent of her divine energy.

Had she not replaced her blood and flesh armor body, she wouldn’t have been able to use this move with the original divine strategy limbs.

The divine strategy limbs couldn’t withstand the explosive output of this divine energy and would have directly shattered.

Bang bang~!

Bang bang~!

More and more Divine Martial Guards were gathering from all directions.

Xiong De remained unscathed.

The Rebel Army used the Mother-Child Sound Transmission Box to convey the information to Gongsun Ying.

“General, all the Moon Peaks have been destroyed, retreat quickly!” Lou Zheng transmitted his voice.

Gongsun Ying looked back at everyone and said, “The Moon Peaks have been destroyed. I’ll cover the retreat, you all go ahead.”

“Let’s leave together!” Guan Hao said.

“It’s not possible; someone must hold them off.” Gongsun Ying said, staring intently at Xiong De.

Besides her, almost no one could withstand Xiong De’s Meteor Hammer; even she struggled to defend against it.

Gongsun Yue’s vision was severely strained, and with so many Divine Martial Guards present, if they formed a siege, retreat would be impossible.

Trying to retreat together would only result in being delayed by Xiong De, and then eventually being trapped and killed.

“Sister…” Gongsun Yue had a bad premonition and couldn’t help but call out.

“Go!”

Gongsun Ying left only this word and then charged with her blade towards the Meteor Hammer hurled by Xiong De.

Clang~!

Boom~!

Gongsun Ying’s figure was knocked back, and the flare of divine energy on her body increased by threefold.

This was her final burst, disregarding any consequences.

She no longer considered whether excessive divine energy circulation would damage her internal organs, nor how much divine energy was left, only wanting to unleash it fully once.

“Xiao Yue, let’s go, don’t let the general sacrifice in vain!”

Liu Qingqing grabbed Gongsun Yue, and together with Guan Hao and others, began to retreat.

With Gongsun Ying helping to hold off, their retreat was much easier, easily shaking off the Divine Martial Guards and heading to the moat.

At that moment, the only target for the Divine Martial Guards was Gongsun Ying.

Since they were all under Xiong De’s command, whoever Xiong De targeted became their target too.

…

Beside the moat.

Lin Qianxuan transformed into a dragon, descending from the sky.

He saw the demoralized group, and the dejected Gongsun Yue.

Then he turned his head and saw the divine energy radiating from Gongsun Ying’s direction, the intense light and rumbling spread throughout the city.

“Miss Ying is still over there? I’ll go to support her!” Lin Qianxuan said.

“Lin, don’t come… pfft…”

Gongsun Ying’s voice came through the Mother-Child Sound Transmission Box held by Lou Zheng.

“Everyone… from now on… the leader of the Rebel Army is Lin… Lin, I entrust everyone to you!!!”

The voice cut off at this point.

The situation looked dire, and Lin Qianxuan began to worry.

Having experienced life and death separations many times, Lou Zheng and the others quickly composed themselves, looked directly at Lin Qianxuan, and said, “Mr. Lin, please give the orders!”

“Mr. Lin, please give the order, lead us to the Imperial City, and end… the turbid calamity…” Gongsun Yue tearfully added.

However, Lin Qianxuan’s response was, “I want to support Miss Ying; your strengths are limited, don’t come.”

“Please, Mr. Lin, consider the bigger picture!” Lou Zheng said, bowing.

“Sir…” Gongsun Yue also shook her head, looking at Lin Qianxuan.

Lin Qianxuan did not respond to Lou Zheng but reached out to pat Gongsun Yue’s head, seriously saying, “Yue’er, don’t worry, I’ll bring her back, just like every time before.”

Gongsun Yue’s expression became complex upon hearing this, but before she could reply, Lin Qianxuan had already soared into the sky.

In mid-air, the divine energy under Lin Qianxuan’s feet burst, and he also executed his body technique.

He was in a hurry, even using Spirit Art, feeling the air resist forcefully against the water barrier in front of him, moving at nearly five times the speed of sound. On Earth, he could be even faster.

Previously, Gongsun Ying’s distraction while communicating with Lin Qianxuan and the others resulted in being hit by Xiong De. Though divine energy blocked some damage, she was hurt; her internal organs were in severe pain, blood unconsciously poured from her mouth, staining her mask that kept out the turbid air. She tore it off roughly as it impeded her breathing.

These weren’t just injuries from the blow, but also from the rough circulation of excessive divine energy.

It wasn’t her first time facing life and death, but this time she felt at ease.

Before, she always worried about what would happen to Yue’er, the Rebel Army, everyone, after her death.

Now, there was a figure in her mind.

With him, everything would be alright.

He did better than her.

In battling the turbid spirits, in getting along with Yue’er, he was far better.

Yue’er had more smiles with him around.

How wonderful…..

It was just a pity, if she weren’t the leader of the Rebel Army, she could have responded to Mr. Lin back then.

Holding her hand for a lifetime?

Though it seemed frivolous, if it were Mr. Lin, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad…..

At this moment, she finally stopped finding excuses to evade her feelings.

Boom~!!

A meteor came crashing down.

Gongsun Ying summoned the last less than ten percent of her divine energy, raising her blade high, ready to face her end.

However, she didn’t swing the blade; a figure blocked the meteor in front of her.

Thud~!

Boom~!

With nine-tenths of his divine energy spent, Lin Qianxuan used the Immortal Divine Fist to punch the Meteor Hammer away.

Then, his half-dragon form turned to face Gongsun Ying, a concerned expression in his crimson vertical pupils, saying, “Miss Ying, I’ve come to take you away with me.”
