<h4>Chapter 952: Chapter 949: The Last Line of Defense</h4>


    He didn’t pay attention to those Eight Provinces’ cultivators but looked at the surrounding Golden Core stage peak experts.


    Most of them were the sect leaders, vice sect leaders, and elders of various sects.


    At a nce, there were actually fifty to sixty people.


    Such arge number of Golden Core stage peak experts besieging Xu Wendong alone made him feel a great honor, as not everyone had this kind of treatment.


    Buzz!


    Without any warning.


    A loud bell chime came from the golden big bell in the air.


    The bell sound was deafening, as if it came from the other side of the starry sky, crossing the endless void.


    A visible wave of sound spread through the air.


    At the moment this bell rang, Xu Wendong actually felt a brief trance, as if time had stopped flowing.


    Just when he had just regained his senses.


    A Golden Core stage peak expert holding a longsword appeared in front of him, and he could even feel the chilling aura emitted from the opponent’s longsword.


    However.


    He simply stood there quietly, with a look of disdain on his face.


    "Die!"


    He uttered a cold note.


    Instantly.


    Peculiar drops of water appeared in front of him.


    Swish swish swish!


    The drops of water turned into sharp water swords as they flew out, instantly piercing through the body of the Golden Core stage peak expert.


    One move.


    He killed a Golden Core stage peak expert with just one move.


    Without breaking a sweat.


    Seeing that Xu Wendong’s strength was so formidable, the elder pinched the spell with both hands, and the big bell in the air rang three more loud chimes in session.


    "Break it for me!"


    Xu Wendong immediately released the golden iron sheet, carrying immense power like a rainbow piercing the sun, and collided with the big bell.


    Crack!


    The big bell emitted a crisp cracking sound and was pierced through by the golden iron sheet.


    The elder also spat blood and fell in mid-air, uncertain of life or death.


    As Xu Wendong fought fiercely with the Eight Provinces’ experts.


    The cultivators below the fifth level of the Golden Core stage also sessfully entered the illusion array.


    However.


    Upon entering the illusion array, they saw different scenes.


    Some saw a ce of tenderness.


    Others saw terrifying existences.


    The illusion array could bewilder one’s mind, causing them to forget themselves and be fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.


    Indeed.


    The illusion array could kill invisibly, not to mention the eight hundred Demon Sect heretics within, along with thousands of Foundation Establishment evil cultivators.


    They were like mowing grass, crazily harvesting the lives of the Eight Provinces’ cultivators.


    The battle officially entered its most intense and deadlocked time.


    Xu Wendong’s side was also not doing well, even though he had the ability to kill enemies surpassing his level, there were too many Golden Core stage peak experts.


    Therefore.


    He fought the Eight Provinces’ Golden Core stage peak experts in a desperate struggle but ultimately was defeated and retreated to the Jade Maiden Pce, spitting blood.


    "Damn, I didn’t expect this guy to escape so fast!" An elder flew into a rage,menting not being able to kill Xu Wendong.


    "He’s so young yet able to fight with us for so long. Looking at the Nine Provinces, how many people possess suchbat power?"


    "The Ancient Sacred Body is truly as invincible as the legends say, leading an era!"


    "No matter what, Xu Wendong must be in, or else the consequences are unimaginable." Everyone discussed fervently.


    Now, whether or not they can breach the Jade Maiden Pce is no longer important.


    What’s important is removing Xu Wendong.


    If Xu Wendong doesn’t die, the Nine Provinces will surely be trampled beneath his feet.


    "What’s going on? Haven’t we taken down the Jade Maiden Pce yet?" A Golden Core stage peak expert looked below with coldness in his eyes.


    At this moment, they could clearly see the Jade Maiden Pce below.


    Just.


    The five kilometers around Jade Maiden Pce were unusually quiet, like an uninhabited forbidden zone.


    An elder spoke lowly: "It seems another array is blocking our disciples."


    As soon as this was said.


    Everyone felt a surge of anger in their hearts, not expecting there to be more arrays after breaking the ughter and confinement arrays.


    It was unsurprising.


    The array below was likely very terrifying.


    Or else, once their people entered, there wouldn’t be a feeling of a stone sinking into the sea.


    At this time.


    A horrific scream came from the array: "Damn it, why are there Demon Sect heretics here?"


    Upon hearing this.


    The Golden Core stage experts of the Eight Provinces all felt a surge of strong anger and a feeling of powerlessness.


    They knew that thisst array was the illusion array.


    Otherwise, their disciples wouldn’t shout that there were Demon Sect heretics here.


    ughter array, confinement array, illusion array.


    Of the three types of arrays, the illusion array was the most troublesome.


    Because once inside, everyone would see different scenes, unable even to distinguish themselves.


    So.


    Even if they continued ordering disciples to self-destruct their Golden Cores, they might not aplish the task.


    At this moment.


    An elder spoke: "If I guessed correctly, this illusion array should be the final line of defense for Jade Maiden Pce."


    Another Golden Core stage peak expert said: "Correct, if our people can break the illusion array here, ying Xu Wendong and leveling Jade Maiden Pce would be easy!"


    "Continue breaking the array!"


    "No matter what, we must exhaust the energy of the illusion array!"


    Everyone sat down in meditation, resting, silently waiting for the array to break.


    Little did they know.


    Those cultivators below the fifth level of the Golden Core stage couldn’t break the illusion array Xu Wendong set up.


    Because the Demon Sect heretics inside were not the heart demons those cultivators saw.


    Even with theirrge numbers, the consumption on the illusion array was minimal.


    ------


    "Wendong, how are you?"


    Jade Maiden Pce.


    Seeing Xu Wendong return in a weakened state, everyone was very worried.


    Xu Wendong smiled, saying: "Nothing major, just a dual cultivation will do."


    Upon hearing this.


    A beautiful elder blushed and said: "Let’s go, I’ll apany you for dual cultivation."


    Xu Wendong nodded, then led the beautiful elder towards the backyard he used to live in.


    Actually.


    He was perfectly fine.


    In fact, if he used the Lingxiao sword, he could still y those Eight Provinces’ Golden Core stage peak experts.


    The reason he didn’t use the Lingxiao sword.


    The reason he pretended to be injured.


    Fundamentally, he wanted to buy time.


    Because once he killed those Golden Core stage peak experts, it would definitely attract the Nascent Soul-level old monsters of the Nine Provinces.


    If that truly happened, the arrays outside Jade Maiden Pce wouldn’t be able to stop them.


    The cultivators of the Qingzhou cultivation world were not destined to be their match.


    Jade Maiden Pce would be leveled, and the female cultivators in Jade Maiden Pce would ultimately be toys for others.


    "Lie still, I’ll be on top." The beautiful elder said softly, then slowly sat on Xu Wendong’s waist.


    Logically, Xu Wendong should be very excited at this moment.


    But right now.


    A touch of mncholy shed in his eyes.


    Xu Canghai and the others still have seven days before they cross their tribtion.


    Can he really hold on until then?
