Four hundred Scarlet Flame Lion Hawks emitted sharp cries, dispersing and forming a semi-circle around the forces of the Everlasting Trade Association, Runecarver Sect, and Yin Shadow Gate.
“Weapons ready!” Holden’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he shouted.
At Holden’s command, the four hundred disciples in white standing on the backs of the Scarlet Flame Lion Hawks each reached into their Storage Sacks.
Black cannon barrels appeared in the hands of the four hundred disciples.
The hard, dark barrels were covered with red runes.
The runes interconnected to form a rune array, glowing mysteriously.
If someone from Earth were present, they would recognize these barrels as rocket launchers.
The runes on the barrels were fourth-level speed-enhancing runes, tracking runes, and spirit-gathering runes.
The four hundred disciples shouldered the barrels.
Four hundred black muzzles aimed at the forces of the Everlasting Trade Association, Runecarver Sect, and Yin Shadow Gate.
Under the aim of those black muzzles, the elite disciples of the three factions felt a chill down their spines.
Even the Spirit Saint realm experts couldn’t help but twitch their eyes, sensing danger.
“What are they holding?”
“From what I can sense, they seem like ordinary artifacts.”
“Could it be Lord’s Manor’s secret weapon? The design is quite peculiar.”
In Clearwind Town, the observing cultivators couldn’t help but discuss.
“Showy nonsense. Golden Lion Guard, attack!” Prince Caspian commanded coldly.
“Attack!!”
A thousand Golden Lion Guards erupted with energy, left hands holding golden shields, right hands pointing cold spears at the young disciples riding the Scarlet Flame Lion Hawks.
The elite disciples of Runecarver Sect and Yin Shadow Gate also unleashed their fierce auras.
“Prince Caspian, Evan Shade, Felix, you three will taste this too!” Holden shouted angrily, then looked at Christian and Akira.
Holden, Christian, and Akira flashed to the front lines.
Each grabbed a black barrel from their Storage Sacks.
The barrels in their hands were twice as large as those held by the younger disciples, with even more complex and mysterious runes.
Seeing Holden and his companions aiming their black barrels at them, Prince Caspian’s eyes flashed coldly.
“Fools, thinking they can intimidate us with strange-looking junk artifacts!? Kill them all; leave no one alive today!” Prince Caspian’s voice echoed coldly.
Behind Prince Caspian, over ten elders of the Everlasting Trade Association erupted with energy and shot forward like streams of light.
“Attack!” Runecarver Sect’s leader Ryan and Noah Shadow also shouted coldly.
Behind them, dozens of elders and nearly two thousand elite disciples from Runecarver Sect and Yin Shadow Gate surged with energy.
Thousands of streams of light burst into the sky!
Seeing this, the Buddhist cultivators from Diamond Fortress, the guards from Lord’s Manor, and the disciples from Falling Blossom Palace also erupted with energy.
The battle was about to begin!
“Scarlet Flame Divine Dragon Cannon, fire!” Holden’s eyes flashed fiercely as he shouted at the sight of thousands of streams of light rushing toward them.
On the Scarlet Flame Lion Hawks, the white-clad disciples shouldered their barrels and pulled the triggers at the same time.
The black barrels in their hands glowed with runes; from the muzzles, fiery red projectiles shot out.
In the sky, each projectile burned with red runes, speeding rapidly.
Four hundred projectiles fired together, streaking through the sky like falling stars!
“Defend!” The Golden Lion Guard commander shouted harshly at the incoming projectiles.
A thousand Golden Lion Guards rose into the sky, forming formations of a hundred each. Their golden lion shields aligned to form a massive golden wall shield.
“Yin Shadow Gate disciples, form a defensive array!” Noah Shadow commanded coldly, his single eye flashing.
The Yin Shadow Gate disciples responded, releasing ghostly energy to form a massive black shield that covered most of them.
“How powerful can mere artifacts be? Kill them all!” Gilberto commanded loudly, not believing in the threat.
Among those who hated Lord’s Manor most was undoubtedly Gilberto of Runecarver Sect.
Runecarver Sect disciples drew their weapons with their right hands and talismans with their left, ready for battle.
A projectile first struck a giant golden shield wall.
The projectile exploded on impact, releasing immense energy instantly.
The runes on the golden shield wall glowed and held firm. The golden light spread out, blocking the raging energy.
Behind the shield wall, a hundred Golden Lion Guards turned pale with shock in their eyes.
The power of that single projectile had greatly exceeded their expectations. Though they blocked it, the residual energy still shook their organs.
Before they could recover from their shock, ten more projectiles struck the golden shield wall.
The unified golden shield wall dimmed instantly; a central section shattered first, breaking several golden lion shields.
Through the breach, raging fire energy swept in, engulfing over ten Golden Lion Guards.
Similar scenes occurred at other sections of the golden shield wall formed by Golden Lion Guards!
“Ah… ah…!” Horrific screams echoed continuously.
Nearly two hundred Golden Lion Guards were engulfed in flames; the remaining guards retreated in disarray.
On Yin Shadow Gate’s side, under the bombardment of a hundred projectiles, their defense also crumbled.
The raging fire engulfed nearly two hundred elite disciples of Yin Shadow Gate as well.
Screams echoed endlessly!
Compared to Golden Lion Guard and Yin Shadow Gate’s elite disciples who had defenses in place, Runecarver Sect’s elite disciples suffered even more without any defense!
The massive fire energy swept forward, engulfing three to four hundred elite disciples at the front lines of Runecarver Sect in flames.
Some slightly rearward elite disciples spat blood as severed limbs fell from the sky.
“Damn it!!” Seeing this tragic scene, Elder Frost of Runecarver Sect’s four great elders roared with rage, his white hair flying wildly.
Elder Frost flashed to stand before most of Runecarver Sect’s elite disciples. His spiritual power surged out to form a towering ice wall a hundred feet high.
Several projectiles struck the ice wall, creating pits and holes but not breaking through. The elite disciples behind it survived.
