Chapter 13399 War begins

Soon after, more people began to follow suit, laying down their weapons and choosing to survive.

More than half of the warriors in the entire Chaos Demon City chose to surrender. They were either standing or sitting, looking down or looking up, but everyone's eyes revealed the same emotion - the desire for life.

After all, no one wants to die, and no one is optimistic about this war. In their view, surrender can save lives, so why not surrender?

Long Yingtian looked at this scene with mixed feelings. He felt sorry for those who chose to surrender, but also proud of those who still held on. He knew that this war was far from over, and the real test was still to come.

"A bunch of idiots." Hun Canglan's voice was filled with anger and helplessness, and his eyes were flashing with disappointment.

He cursed, "They really don't know the Holy Temple's style of doing things. In this battle, no matter who wins or loses, those who choose to surrender are finished. How could the Holy Temple let them go so easily? They are so stupid."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, and his eyes revealed a bit of wisdom and calmness.

He patted Hun Canglan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Forget it, Brother Hun, don't worry about them. Since they chose to leave, it is actually a good thing for us. This way, we can be more focused in the battle. After all, we have to trust our backs to our own people. Those who have surrendered are no longer our comrades."

Hun Canglan heard this and nodded slightly, his expression slightly relieved. He understood Ling Xiao's meaning, and also understood that in this cruel war, everyone must make their own choice. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

At this time, Hun Yu looked at the fourth high priest indifferently. Her voice was as cold as ice: "Well, your goal has been achieved, so don't waste your breath. The battle between us will come sooner or later. Now, let's see who will have the last laugh."

Her eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if she was ready to face all challenges.

The fourth chief priest sneered, his voice carrying a hint of sarcasm and disdain: "Foolish people, since you refuse to surrender, then wait for justice to punish you! Go!"

As he finished speaking, hundreds of Holy Sword Knights suddenly flew out from behind him. These Holy Sword Knights were like gods of war descending from the clouds, with tall and straight figures and imposing manners. They all exuded a faint holy light, which was the glory and power of the Holy Sword Knights.

All of these Holy Sword Knights are powerful warriors in the Condensation Realm. Although most of them are only in the low-level Condensation Realm, they are still in the Condensation Realm!
In this world where the strong are respected, the strong in the Condensation Realm are enough for ordinary people to look up to. What's more, there are more than a hundred strong in the Condensation Realm here, and their existence is undoubtedly a force that cannot be ignored.

When these one hundred or so Holy Sword Knights released their mighty power, the entire Luanmo City seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force.

The warriors who were still hesitating and struggling now felt the strong pressure from the Holy Sword Knights. Their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety, as if they would collapse at any time.

More than a hundred Holy Sword Knights swooped down like heavenly soldiers and generals. Their speed was so fast, like lightning streaking through the sky.

Their power is so strong that it is like a huge army galloping past, which makes people feel awe.

Everyone felt this strong sense of oppression, their heartbeats accelerated, and their breathing became rapid. At this moment, they seemed to understand what a truly strong person was, and what an irresistible force was.

"Thirteen demon generals, listen up and stop them!" Ling Xiao's voice was firm and powerful. With a wave of his hand, it seemed as if he drew an invisible order in the air.

In an instant, thirteen demon generals led by Ling Bi appeared beside him like ghosts. Their aura was sharp and fierce, as if they would burst out with astonishing power at any time.

Almost at the same time, Long Yingtian's voice resounded throughout the battlefield: "Guards of the Palace, move out!" His eyes flashed with determination and firmness, as if he wanted to concentrate all his strength at this moment.

Following his order, three hundred palace guards surged out like a tide. They were dressed in uniform armor, holding sharp weapons, and marched in neat and powerful steps, demonstrating amazing discipline and combat effectiveness.

Although most of them were not as powerful as the Holy Sword Knights, or even the Thirteen Demon Generals, they were numerous and good at fighting together, forming an indestructible line of defense.

At the same time, Hun Huan also issued an order: "Hun Clan warriors, go and help."

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained endless majesty.

Five hundred Soul Clan warriors responded quickly. They were dressed in black and had hideous masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Their fighting power was equal to that of the palace guards, and even better in some aspects. They were like ghosts in the dark night, shuttling silently across the battlefield, adding a bit of mystery and weirdness to this fierce battle.

The three teams quickly assembled and formed three solid lines of defense. They each played to their own strengths and jointly resisted the fierce attack of the Holy Sword Knights. On the battlefield, swords shone and shadows crisscrossed, shouts of killing were deafening, and a thrilling battle was taking place.

Although they have more people, a full array of formations, and momentum that is no less than those of the Holy Sword Knights, to be honest, they still lack in combat power.

This lack is not just in quantity, but also in quality. Each of the Holy Sword Knights is a carefully selected Condensed Realm expert, and their combat experience and skills are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, the combined forces of the Palace Master's guards, the Soul Clan's warriors, and the thirteen demon generals would not be a match for the more than one hundred Holy Sword Knights. All they could do now was to do their best to hold back the more than one hundred Holy Sword Knights and buy time for their comrades in the rear.

As soon as the battle began, they were quickly suppressed. The offensive of the Holy Sword Knights was as turbulent as a tide, and each blow contained terrible power.

If it weren't for the monstrous existence of Ling Bi, who single-handedly resisted the fierce attacks of several Holy Sword Knights, and if it weren't for the fact that the guards of the Mansion Lord and the leaders of the Soul Clan's death warriors were all outstanding in the Condensed Realm and each led their teams to put up a tenacious resistance, they would have probably been defeated long ago.

At the moment, the battle can only be described as a stalemate. However, this stalemate is not a stalemate of equal strength, but a stalemate in which the two sides are at a disadvantage.

Every minute and every second, they were under tremendous pressure and exhausted physically and mentally. However, none of them chose to retreat, because they knew that this battle was related to the fate of the entire Chaos Demon City, and they had to persevere until the last moment.
