Chapter 1516 Counterattack (Part 1)
Seeing that the defensive formation of Jingzhou City was on the verge of collapse and the White Feather Clan army's offensive was becoming increasingly frenzied, Liu Changxu no longer hesitated. With a flicker of his body, he instantly teleported outside the formation and stood steadily in the void.
Immediately afterward, Liu Changxu rapidly formed hand seals, and the spatial laws around him suddenly became violently turbulent. With that, he pushed his palms forward, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly became chaotic. Countless visible spatial rifts spread out like a spider web, tearing space into countless fragments wherever they passed, quickly forming a spatial storm that swept across the heavens and earth.
"Boom—"
The spatial storm roared and rushed towards the White Feather Clan army. Countless White Feather Clan experts were caught off guard and were instantly swept into it, with screams rising and falling.
At the eye of the storm, even the light was distorted, and the White Feather Clan powerhouses caught in it were torn to shreds almost instantly, their originally fierce attacks collapsing in an instant.
Seeing the spatial storm hurtling towards him, a powerful White Feather Clan member at the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm suddenly flapped his wings, causing ripples to spread across the space around him, instantly condensing into a thick spatial barrier. This barrier shimmered with a faint silver light, like a solidified mirror, attempting to block the howling spatial storm from the outside.
At the same time, another early-stage Mahayana expert gripped his golden scepter, and the huge gem inlaid at the top of the scepter suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, like a small sun.
Immediately, a golden beam of energy, as condensed as a pillar, tore through the sky, carrying a scorching heat wave, and shot towards Liu Changxu.
Liu Changxu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he showed no sign of backing down. Facing the golden beam of light, he simply flicked his finger, and the space in front of him slightly distorted, like an invisible vortex that swallowed the beam of light whole, without even a trace of its aftershock.
Immediately afterward, his gaze fell upon the spatial barrier, and he suddenly intensified his control over the spatial storm. The previously scattered spatial rifts suddenly converged, like countless sharp, invisible blades, all slashing towards the edge of the barrier.
"Om-"
The barrier trembled violently, and fine cracks appeared on its surface. The mid-stage Mahayana White Feather Clan expert's face turned red as he desperately channeled his magic power to repair it. However, Liu Changxu moved his fingertips again, and a slender yet highly penetrating spatial blade split off from the spatial storm, precisely piercing into the deepest part of the crack.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the spatial barrier shattered. The White Feather Clan's mid-stage Mahayana powerhouse, now deprived of the barrier's protection, was instantly engulfed by the raging spatial power, screaming in agony as he was swallowed by the storm, leaving only a few blood-stained white feathers drifting in the turbulent currents.
Having dealt with the mid-stage Mahayana White Feather Clan expert, Liu Changxu's figure flickered, appearing like a ghost behind the early-stage Mahayana expert wielding the scepter.
Before the white-feathered clan Mahayana cultivator wielding the staff could react, Liu Changxu had already gathered immense spiritual power in his palm. With a single strike, the palm print, imbued with the powerful magic of a late-stage Mahayana cultivator, crashed down like Mount Tai, heavily striking his opponent.
"puff--"
Before the White Feather Clan Mahayana could even scream, his body exploded under the force of the palm strike, blood and feather fragments splattering everywhere. The golden scepter he was holding fell to the ground along with his mangled body.
Before the scepter and the mangled body could hit the ground, a large hand formed from spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and gripped them tightly like an iron clamp. Then, the large hand rapidly contracted, wrapping the scepter and the mangled body of the White Feather Clan Mahayana cultivator together, and finally, storing them all into Liu Changxu's storage bracelet.
After breaking through to the late Mahayana stage, Liu Changxu's magical power and supernatural abilities both increased significantly. Now, even without using his natal magic treasure, he could quickly crush early and mid-Middle Mahayana experts with his powerful supernatural abilities alone. After dealing with the second White Feather Clan Mahayana expert, Liu Changxu's expression remained unchanged. His gaze swept over the scattered remnants of the White Feather Clan soldiers, and he continued to unleash his spatial storm.
At the same time, Liu Changxu's body surged with spiritual light, and thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords emerged from his body, their blades wreathed in raging flames. Then, they instantly split into three groups of twelve swords each, forming three Crimson Lotus Sword Arrays in the air, resembling blooming Crimson Lotuses, and hurtled towards the three White Feather Clan Mahayana experts who were engaged in fierce battle with Murong Yuyao in the distance.
Seeing that their two companions had been killed by Liu Changxu, the three Great Ascension Realm experts of the White Feather Clan tried to escape, but were firmly held back by Murong Yuyao and her two companions, and could not break free.
"Bang bang bang-"
Three loud explosions rang out in succession as the Crimson Lotus Sword Formation clashed with the defenses of the White Feather Clan experts. Flames instantly engulfed their wings, and the immortal swords, like leeches, broke through the defenses and pierced straight for vital points.
Seeing this, Murong Yuyao and the other two perked up and their attacks became even more ferocious. Sword light and magic seals intertwined to form a net, creating an encirclement with the Crimson Lotus Sword Formation, firmly locking the three White Feather Clan Mahayana experts in the center.
In a short while, accompanied by three shrill screams, the three White Feather Clan Mahayana cultivators fell one after another under the attack from both inside and outside, their remains consumed by flames.
At this point, all five powerful cultivators of the White Feather Clan who had besieged Jingzhou City had been killed.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty on the city tower were filled with renewed vigor, erupting in deafening shouts. Then, like a tidal wave, they surged out of the formation and launched a fierce pursuit of the already routed White Feather Clan army.
Having lost the presence of a Mahayana powerhouse and suffering heavy losses from the spatial storm and repeated battles, the White Feather Clan army was already terrified. Now, seeing the human race's counterattack, they were completely routed, their tight formation utterly collapsed, and they were left to be divided and slaughtered by the human soldiers.
In the air, Liu Changxu and Murong Yuyao met up, their gazes sweeping over the one-sided battle below, both letting out a sigh of relief. With the crisis at Jingzhou City resolved, the next step was to press their advantage and completely wipe out the remaining White Feather Clan forces in the surrounding area.
After completely eliminating the remnants of the Baiyu tribe outside Jingzhou City, Liu Changxu did not slacken for a moment. He immediately led the Xianchao army to launch a thunderous siege against the Baiyu tribe army that was still harassing other regions of the Han Xianchao.
Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the Great Han Immortal Dynasty army, except for a few White Feather Clan troops who put up a stubborn resistance and were quickly wiped out, the vast majority of White Feather Clan troops had already fled in panic when they saw that the situation was not good.
Therefore, the army of the Great Han Dynasty advanced swiftly and quickly recovered all the territory.
However, Liu Changxu was not satisfied with recovering his own territory. After a short rest, he led a ten million-strong army of the Immortal Dynasty to conquer the White Feather Clan army in other regions.
What Liu Changxu didn't expect was that when they entered the territory originally belonging to the Kunlun Holy Land, they found that the Baiyu Clan, who had been running rampant in various places, had disappeared without a trace.
Liu Changxu remained vigilant in the face of this situation. He knew that the White Feather Clan was tightening their defenses, attempting to gather all their strength for a decisive battle.
As expected, when Liu Changxu led the Great Han Dynasty army to Kunlun Mountain, they were met by the well-prepared White Feather Clan army.
