242: Brother, I think you're the real 'sword cultivator'.

After communicating with Ye Feibai for a while and obtaining a lot of information, Su Ling took his leave.

Although the warfare in his theater of operations had decreased significantly, there were simply too many barbarians and Demonic Beasts in the Savage Beast Plane. Coupled with the survival of two physically powerful Sub-God rank experts, Demonic Beast counterattacks still occurred frequently.

It was roughly estimated that with the current forces, it would take at least ten more years to completely wipe out the resistance.

It wasn't that Ye Feibai and the other True Immortals couldn't take down the enemy's high-level forces if they moved out.

The main issue was that the enemy was too good at hiding!

Every civilization's power has its own characteristics; the investigative Spells of the Immortal Dao might not necessarily work on these savage creatures.

As a result, those two significantly injured Sub-God rank experts had yet to be found.

Therefore, the various theaters of war had to advance layer by layer, plundering resources while searching for the enemy's location.

However, the overall situation of the war had basically been settled; there were only three True Immortals left in the Savage Beast Plane.

The other True Immortals had all gone to support other planes.

It had only been three days since Su Ling and Lu Tao returned to the base when a new round of transfer orders was issued.

Thirty thousand miles away from the base, a group of orc remnants had emerged from underground and was frantically attacking the local resource point garrison.

Several other Cultivator squads under the jurisdiction of the same Integration Stage Cultivator were also heading there.

A grand bell tolled, and one by one, Demon Species, ghost souls, skeletons, and a motley crew of orcs and Demonic Beasts controlled by Soul Seals quickly gathered toward the center of the base.

Their numbers had reached as many as five thousand.

After reinforcements, the number of Cultivators from the Seven Sects had also grown to a hundred.

"Senior Brother Su!"

As Su Ling and Lu Tao appeared, everyone cupped their hands in greeting.

A few of the faces had appeared in the National War over two hundred years ago.

Although Su Ling didn't know them before, they still vividly remembered the prestige of this Azure Thunder Demonic Cultivator.

They only had cultivations at the Middle or Late Stage of the Nascent Soul, while he was already at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.

In fact, as early as over a hundred years ago, he had already reached this current Realm.

Now, he could even boldly insta-kill powerful fifth-order Early Stage Demonic Beasts.

Even fifth-order Middle or Late Stage Demonic Beasts could not escape the fate of being slain under his full-strength attacks.

Only fifth-order Peak Demonic Beasts could pose a threat to him.

The few people who were deeply shocked and somewhat convinced of this couldn't help but look at Su Ling with a hint of awe.

"Depart!"

Su Ling looked around, waved his hand, and the thunder boat rapidly expanded.

Several Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators, along with Lu Tao, threw out their flying boats and flew up with the group of Cultivators and War Slaves.

They sped toward the distant sky... In a wasteland filled with jagged rocks, countless Demonic Beasts and War Slaves were engaged in a tragic and fierce battle.

They frantically devoured each other's magic-rich flesh to strengthen themselves.

Among them, the brilliance of many Cultivators' Magic Treasures and Spells bloomed.

However, looking down from high above, the Cultivator camp was clearly in a defensive state.

The surrounding Demonic Beasts and orcs numbered in the tens of thousands.

"Maintain the Formation, pay attention to the defensive layout, reinforcements will be here soon!"

An Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator used a Haoyang Spell to blast back a fifth-order Demonic Beast and dodged a strike from a fifth-order orc before finding the time to shout loudly.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivators responded in unison, desperately squeezing the mana from their bodies to launch attacks.

A tottering Formation light screen protected them within.

Outside, all sorts of War Slaves were fighting desperately.

Several orcs and Demonic Beasts that had reached the fifth-order level were attacking the Formation with all their might.

Suddenly ambushed, this full-strength garrison squad saw over thirty people and a large number of War Slaves fall in an instant.

If the Haoyang Sect Soul Transformation leader hadn't paid the price of detonating two high-grade magic treasures to timely halt the enemy's progress,

this squad likely wouldn't have had time to deploy the Formation and hold out until now.

There was no helping it; the attack from these natives was simply too sudden.

A type of rodent Demonic Beast that had never appeared before weirdly tunneled through the protective Formation, bringing a large herd of beasts directly into the center of the array.

They attacked from both inside and out.

The enemy also knew that reinforcements would definitely arrive, so they fought desperately to eliminate these invaders as quickly as possible.

However, the newly constructed Formation had different attributes from the previous protective array.

The Formation-breaking ability of the Mountain-Piercing Rats had already become ineffective, leaving them with no choice but to break it by force.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly two flying boats appeared in the distance, speeding toward them.

The flying speed of low-grade spirit tools far exceeded that of the High Grade flying boats of other Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Su Ling and Lu Tao, leading over twenty Cultivators and over a thousand War Slaves, were the first to arrive.

"Reinforcements are here!"

"Hold on! Hold on! Prepare for a counterattack!"

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the Haoyang Soul Transformation expert laughed heartily. He instantly erupted with a powerful aura and violently waved a fiery red banner burning with intense flames.

A ferocious fire dragon snaked out, pouncing rapidly toward that persistent orc expert with a series of roars.

But in the next moment, his face couldn't help but turn pale.

His flying figure also came to a halt.

A Giant Tusked Tiger covered in burn marks suddenly accelerated and pounced in front of him.

The protective fire shield around the Haoyang Soul Transformation expert was actually slapped away by its paw.

The Giant Tusked Tiger took the opportunity to open its bloody maw and bite down hard.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the tiger's mouth, the Haoyang Soul Transformation expert's expression couldn't help but change.

"Vile beast, you dare!"

At the bow of the thunder boat, Su Ling drew his bow and notched an arrow. While letting out a sharp cry, he violently released a ghost soul arrow that had been ready to fire.

In the next instant, the arrow shot directly into the back of the giant tiger's head.

The giant tiger's biting motion stiffened, and its entire body uncontrollably crashed into the Haoyang Soul Transformation expert.

Then it fell heavily into the dust, completely silent.

One arrow, an instant kill!

A fifth-order Early Stage tiger-type Demonic Beast was actually insta-killed by a single arrow!

Not only was the Haoyang Soul Transformation expert shocked, but even the fifth-order orc wielding a giant axe couldn't help but show horror. He flew back a hundred feet and looked vigilantly in the direction the flying boat was approaching.

The other fifth-order natives attacking the Formation all stopped and retreated, gathering together.

Only those low-level orcs and Demonic Beasts were still fighting the War Slaves without fear of death.

"Brother, I think you're the real 'Sword' Cultivator!"

The distance of over ten miles passed in a flash, and Lu Tao gave a thumbs-up to Su Ling on the flying boat to the left.

Killing a fifth-order Demonic Beast with an arrow from over ten miles away... With Lu Tao's abilities as a Sword Cultivator, he could also control a Flying Sword to fight from a distance.

But wanting to achieve a kill was basically impossible.

The distance was too great; with his current mana, he simply couldn't transmit it that far.

Su Ling's arrow mainly relied on the enhancement of the supreme grade Magic Treasure-level nine nether soul devouring bow; the Ghost Soul Arrow had absorbed enough Power of Lost Souls to achieve such an effect.

This was also why Lu Tao teased that he was the real 'Sword' Cultivator.

Lu Tao laughed loudly and leapt down from the taixu boat.

His Natal Dragon-Roaming Sword transformed into a blazing white sword dragon, carrying him directly toward one of the fifth-order Early Stage orcs.

Su Ling also jumped down, boldly rushing toward three fifth-order Demonic Beasts.

The thunder boat and the taixu boat led the accompanying Cultivators straight toward the Formation.

The other War Slaves landed in front of the Formation one after another, launching attacks against the besieging orcs and Demonic Beasts.

A new round of battle erupted once again!
