Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 721 The Army Approaches the City
"Don't let go!"

Zhou Qingtong frowned and glared at the two clasped hands, the bone whip on her waist showing a slight tendency to lower itself.

They looked as if they wanted to lash them with a whip.

"what happened?"

Qin Yu looked bewildered, tightly grasped the girl's slender hand, and gently traced a line with her fingertips across her palm.

Su Qingyue's delicate body trembled, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red.

"you……"

Affected by the symbiotic power, Zhou Qingtong's skin broke out in goosebumps, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, almost causing her to lose control.

It was precisely because the bloodline of the Human Emperor was particularly compatible with the symbiotic power of the Spirit Eye that she could clearly sense Su Qingyue's feelings even at such close range.

That bastard, could he have done it on purpose?!
"Sister, don't be mean to Brother Qin Yu..."

Su Qingyue, still half-asleep, stood in front of Qin Yu and unconsciously took her arm.

This sight immediately stirred a strong sense of crisis in Zhou Qingtong's heart.

This silly girl has never shown such intimate behavior to anyone before. What's going on?

She clearly knew that Qin Yu had a wife, so why was she still being so proactive?

Looking at Qin Yu's innocent face, Zhou Qingtong suddenly regretted why she had deliberately threatened him earlier.

This guy is clearly taking revenge on me.

However, judging from the girl's appearance, she doesn't understand any of this and even seems to enjoy spending time with Qin Yu.

How could she be at ease? What if by the time she returned, they had already...

This is so frustrating!
"Sister, aren't you leaving?"

Su Qingyue's eyes were somewhat unfocused as she asked.

"Humph!"

Zhou Qingtong snorted coldly, said no more, and turned to leave.

She was afraid to stay here any longer, as that strange feeling was drawing her in too.

Although Su Qingyue didn't understand these things, this was, after all, the Holy Heaven Academy, and the Great Yan Emperor was right next to her, so Qin Yu probably wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous.

The Emperor's majesty would unconsciously make anyone feel restrained, and it would be impossible for anyone to do anything outrageous under the Emperor's watchful eye.

Of course, if Zhou Qingtong knew that Qin Yu cultivated every day after returning home, she wouldn't think that way.

……

Nine Swords City.

As the city at the forefront of the three thousand miles of territory occupied by the human race, it has long been home to a massive army of 100,000 Heavenly Palace cultivators, among whom nearly 10,000 are at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the rest are mostly at the Lotus Platform Realm.

Human cultivators with lower cultivation levels have already mastered some of the essence of formations. Once they encounter an enemy, as long as the opponent's cultivation level is not too much higher than theirs, they can completely rely on formations to deal with them.

On the city wall, a large army of cultivators stood densely packed together. At this moment, they all had solemn expressions as they looked at the desolate land in the distance, not daring to relax their guard in the slightest.

In front of Nine Swords City, three figures were surrounded by radiant light, emanating a mysterious aura. These three were none other than the three human race half-saint realm experts, led by the Sword Master.

Suddenly, the dark sky seemed to fall into darkness, as if the light of day had been swallowed up.

On the distant horizon, a dark cloud was rapidly approaching.

The Sword Master's eyes snapped open, a gleam of sword light flashing within them, causing the scabbard at his waist to tremble violently. It wasn't some dark cloud, but a terrifying torrent composed of countless powerful alien beings.

The Tianfu cultivators on the city wall also sensed something amiss. It was as if a putrid stench was emanating from the sky, and the wind carried a pungent smell of blood.

If the Tianfu cultivators in Nine Swords City weren't all seasoned veterans, they probably would have vomited.

As sunlight pierced through the clouds once more, the monks on the city wall finally saw the distant scenery clearly.

A vast, seemingly endless army of alien races was rapidly approaching. The aliens at the forefront were several meters tall, each radiating a powerful aura.

What was most suffocating was that above the alien army, there were five terrifying figures. One of them was someone they were familiar with; he was none other than the Wuyuan Saint Envoy under the Seven Jackals!
"Boom!"

A heavy drumbeat resounded throughout Nine Swords City, and the ice blades in the hands of the cultivators in the city trembled.

"Get into formation!"

The Sword Master's hoarse voice rang out.

Within the city, array patterns surged with light, transforming into a gigantic array that enveloped the entire city. Around the array, countless starlight sword lights surged, as if they could annihilate powerful enemies with a single roar.

"As expected of the most lowly human race, they actually rely on external forces so much."

Looking at the array's light in the distance, Wu Yuan sneered, his face full of disdain.

If he were alone, he would indeed be extremely wary of the Nine Swords City's formation. However, he had four half-saint realm experts and tens of thousands of troops by his side.

A mere city can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist!

As for the Human Emperor?

With a sovereign in charge, if the human emperor dares to show himself, he will surely be killed!

"Slay the enemy!"

Sword Master's white hair flew wildly, and his hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, suddenly rose up, the blade of his sword shimmering with light.

"Boom!"

As the Sword Master made his move, the array above Nine Swords City burst forth with dazzling light. The sword energy that had been swirling around the array roared out and, with the direction of the green blade in his hand, transformed into a massive sword energy a thousand feet long.

Even the massive alien army paused for a moment upon seeing this sword aura that exuded an incomparably sharp power.

The alien cultivators below the Half-Saint Realm had no doubt that once that sword light fell, they would be reduced to ashes!
Although they looked down on the human race's formations, believing them to be merely external means, they dared not question their power.

"Haha, you ants who have invaded my Wugu Domain, don't even try to resist, just obediently become my food!"

Just then, a sinister laugh rang out, and a half-saint from another race roared out, looking down at the Nine Swords City in the distance, his eyes flashing with ferocity, as if he couldn't wait to break through the great formation and feast on it.

The four half-saints, including Wuyuan, also unleashed powerful auras. They clearly sensed the delicious smell of blood emanating from the human cultivators in Nine Swords City.

If they could devour them all, they might be able to enhance their bloodline and become rulers of a region!
"Ridiculous!"

Sword Master's eyes were sharp. Facing the alien army, he showed no sign of retreat. His primal power surged around him, and a fierce aura filled the surrounding space, as if it had merged with the formation of the entire city.

"Go ahead, you can feast on the human cultivators as you please!"

As a former holy envoy and the vanguard force against the human race, Wu Yuan did not act rashly.

He understood the terror of human formations best; the scene of several half-saints falling in human formations was still vivid in his mind.

"Wu Yuan, you're really getting worse as you get older."

A half-saint from another race sneered, not caring about anything else, and his figure shot out.
