Ye Haochuan’s decision was deed very reasonable by everyone. So even felt lucky that it was Ye Yan who went to divert the Evil Sect’s attention. If Ye Yan were with them, leading them to attack the weak points, it could have jeopardized the mission.
Under Ye Haochuan’s leadership, more than three hundred people quietly infiltrated. At this mont, Yige’s abilities proved crucial once more, not only finding the safest route but also making the surrounding trees actively conceal their tracks.
However, even so, they couldn’t get too close, as not everyone could hide their presence.
The Evil Sect’s offensive was clearly thick in the middle and thin on the flanks. The strongest and most nurous enemy was in the center.
The position where Ye Haochuan and his group were now located was the transition area between the right flank and the central army of the Evil Sect.
This location was chosen by Ye Haochuan after careful analysis.
This ti, the number of people sent by the Evil Sect was roughly estimated to have reached ten thousand.
It didn’t sound like much compared to the wars of ancient Huaxia, which often involved three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand troops.
In fact, there’s no way around it. The number of cultivators is not more than those in the secular world. Take Xuantian City, for instance; its permanent population is only a few hundred thousand, most of whom are ordinary people or ants unable to break through the Foundation Establishnt in their lifeti.
Such people, in a cultivator’s war, could at most serve as logistics. In real combat, an enemy executing a single cultivation technique could kill a large number of them, not even qualifying as cannon fodder.
As for cultivators above the Foundation Establishnt, there might be a little over ten thousand in the entire Xuantian City. Now, the Evil Sect used ten thousand to attack the Phantom Sound Pavilion, which is equivalent to Xuantian City’s entire combat strength.
But things on the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s side were not promising. The Phantom Sound Pavilion was originally the weakest among the three major sects. Along with Gongsun Zhi’s persecution over the years, the Phantom Sound Pavilion has no new burgeoning talent, with less than ten thousand above Foundation Establishnt in the entire sect.
Moreover, in the Phantom Sound Pavilion, not many cultivators are adept at combat, making the disadvantage all the more obvious by comparison.
Rumble~
The dense assault of the Evil Sect, overwhelming the Protective Formation of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, made the ground constantly tremble as if a continuous major earthquake was occurring.
Ye Haochuan was very worried about Zhu Qingshuang and Fan Qingyin, but he knew that this was not a ti for impulsivity. Only by leading the main force to charge in could they truly save the Phantom Sound Pavilion.
Fortunately, although Ye Yan resented Ye Haochuan, he ticulously executed his task. Soon, his figure appeared behind the central army of the Evil Sect.
As a Nascent Soul Peak super powerful cultivator, his surprise attack inflicted significant damage on the Evil Sect.
He burst in like a released tiger, with an unstoppable montum, wreaking havoc. The Evil Sect cultivators, like sheep, had no ability to resist whatsoever.
However, the Evil Sect’s reaction was not slow. Soon, they dispatched a Nascent Soul Peak expert, leading a group to stop Ye Yan.
Seeing this, Ye Yan dared not continue deeper, retreating while fighting. It’s just that his retreat speed was evidently not as fast as the Evil Sect cultivators chasing him, and soon he was surrounded by a group of Evil Sect cultivators.
At this mont, Ye Yan, like a mad tiger, broke left and right in the heavy encirclent, surprisingly gaining no disadvantage.
"I didn’t expect my uncle to be this formidable!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Judging by combat strength alone, Ye Yan was probably on par with Ji Song. Considering Ji Song was of the older generation, Ye Yan reaching such a level with decades less of experience showed his greater talent than Ji Song.
Ye Haochuan felt more worry than joy about Ye Yan’s prowess. After all, Ye Xiao died at his hands, and this news, currently undiscovered due to the war, would inevitably co to light afterward.
Since conflict with Ye Yan was destined, he naturally hoped the other’s strength would be weaker.
However, all that is for later. For now, Ye Yan’s formidable presence was indeed providing Ye Haochuan with many conveniences.
Because the Evil Sect’s central army had obviously created a noticeable boundary by dividing forces to attack Ye Yan.
At this ti, the Phantom Sound Pavilion, led by the Old Sect Master and Zhu Qingshuang, had personally taken a contingent to break out of the defensive formation, intending to rescue Ye Yan. But as soon as they charged out, another Nascent Soul Peak expert from the Evil Sect led people to block them, leaving them unable to break through for the ti being.
Seeing things unfold as Ye Haochuan predicted, many people cast looks of admiration towards him.
Seeing the opportunity was ripe, Ye Haochuan displayed a serious expression and sternly stated, "Do not entangle with the enemy. Follow us quickly forward. To rge with the Phantom Sound Pavilion is to succeed. Now, move out!"
With Ye Haochuan’s order, he led the Genius Seven Kills Formation, engaging the Killing Formation, and moved out first.
The Rapid Formation was not used because as the arrowhead, to penetrate deeply it must be incredibly sharp; re speed was not enough.
And being the arrowhead, the pressure on this mission was also the greatest for Ye Haochuan.
Ye Yan, amidst the encirclent, also noticed the assault position Ye Haochuan chose. He was initially startled, thinking Ye Haochuan was fooling around. But upon seeing the Phantom Sound Pavilion troops, he suddenly had an epiphany.
He suddenly felt a sense of frustration, feeling that even compared to Ye Haochuan, he seed to fall short.
However, this sense of frustration soon turned into jealousy. The more he hated, the more he wanted to kill Ye Haochuan. Because with Ye Haochuan being this formidable, how could Ye Xiao possibly reclaim the title of top genius without eliminating him?
At this ti, Ye Haochuan had no mind to worry about what Ye Yan was thinking. Leading the team, like an arrow from the bow, he quickly penetrated through the gap between the Evil Sect’s central army.
The Evil Sect clearly hadn’t anticipated that a team would be lying in wait so close to them, causing so panic.
Just like the secular world’s armies where each formation has a commander to keep the troops agile and more powerful, the Evil Sect’s forces were clearly organized similarly.
Sitting in this direction was a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator of the Evil Sect. Seeing the sudden attack, he initially panicked, but upon recognizing Ye Haochuan’s cultivation level, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
"Why panic? A team led by a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, how much combat power could it have? Follow to et the enemy, and let these ignorant fools die without a grave!"
Hearing this, his subordinates felt much more reassured.
After all, re Nascent Soul Early Stage wasn’t considered much of a major enemy. Their leader was a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage, and beneath him were several Nascent Soul Early Stage experts. Why fear a team led by a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator?
But soon they regretted it imnsely. Because to their shock, their supposedly formidable leader couldn’t last even one move against that Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator before being decapitated. As for those Nascent Soul Early Stage experts, they were eradicated in the blink of an eye.
The Evil Sect cultivators thought they were dood to be wiped out, but soon discovered that the Xuann team had already passed through their defense zone before they could react.
