The Fall of the Sword God? The Rebel Army Is Excited!

Under the bombardment of the various large sects, the array formation that was originally emitting a dazzling white light gradually dimmed, as if it was covered in a shadow.

“As expected of the number one Martial Artist in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. The array formation set up by the Sword God is indeed powerful. Even with so many of us, we can’t break it completely.”

“It’s only a matter of time. The energy of this array formation has been exhausted and can no longer resist our attack. Soon, we’ll catch Emperor Sheng Yuan.”

“Everyone, come with me. If we made it, we’d be rewarded handsomely!”

Zhou Hao and the others looked determined as they increased the output of their energy. The energy in their palms became stronger and stronger, and the array formation became weaker and weaker.

Once the array formation was broken, the rebels would march straight in, and there was almost no chance of Emperor Sheng Yuan surviving.

The deafening sound was like a hammer smashing into her heart. Seeing that the array formation had become weaker, she felt helpless.

“Am I destined to die today?”

Emperor Sheng Yuan said solemnly, “How long can this array formation last?”

With a terrified look on his face, one of the generals answered, “I’m afraid the array formation can only last a few more hours at most.”

“Your Majesty, please retreat further back! We are willing to protect you with our lives!”

If waiting was not the way out, they might as well fight a way out.

The other imperial guards also knelt on the ground and said firmly, “We will protect Your Majesty with our lives!”

Looking at the energy fluctuations at the foot of the mountain, Emperor Sheng Yuan revealed a bitter expression. “I’m afraid there’s no hope even if we fight our way out.”

With so many martial artists joining forces, how could she possibly escape?

“Then what should we do now?”

Many ministers looked desperate. “Is this calamity really going to end the Heavenly Saint Dynasty?”

“If we can get someone to break out of the encirclement with His Majesty’s token to bring reinforcements, we might still have a chance of surviving.”

The rebel army would definitely not allow Emperor Sheng Yuan to escape. However, if it were anyone else, there was still some chance.

Emperor Sheng Yuan could not help but sigh. “I have no reinforcements now.”

The East Sea Division was currently supporting the neighboring country. The Southern Division was defending the foreign forces and could not leave for the time being. The Western Division was idle, but it was the weakest troop and would be useless even if it came. The Northern Division couldn’t possibly get back in time.

In short, time was needed for reinforcements to march back.

“If only the Sword God could rush back at this moment. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to fight 10,000 enemies alone. Unfortunately, he’s far away on the Northern Border now.”

Emperor Sheng Yuan wanted to say something but hesitated. The Sword God was long gone. The person who went to the Northern Border was Lin Ran in disguise, and most likely, he was in danger too. King Zhao had prepared this for a long time, so he must have set up a trap on the Northern Border too.

“Is there really no other way?”

Everyone’s faces were ashen, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Emperor Sheng Yuan seemed to have thought of something. Her expression was solemn as she said hesitantly, “It’s not that there aren’t any, but—”

…

In the rebel camp.

“That’s great!”

King Zhao slammed the table and stood up. He, who usually kept a straight face, was extremely excited at this moment.

The others couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, what exactly happened?”

“There’s news from the northern border saying that the Ten Miles Sword God is nowhere to be seen.”

Hearing that, some people were stunned. “If the Ten Miles Sword God is not in the Northern Border, is he still on Mount Sword then? Or is he already on his way back?”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became intense, and everyone felt a chill running down their spines. If the Sword God really managed to rush back…

King Zhao laughed out loud and broke the silence. “You’re all thinking too much. They didn’t see the Sword God, but someone saw his broken sword!”

To a sword cultivator, the sword was equivalent to life. If the sword was intact, and so would the sword cultivator be.

Everyone looked incredulous. “Is that sword called Ten Miles Dragon Roar?”

When the Sword God made a name for himself, his sword, Dragon Roar, also became famous.

They knew the meaning of a broken sword. Either the Sword God was already dead or he was seriously injured. Otherwise, the sword wouldn’t be broken and he wouldn’t abandon it.

“That’s right. The spies I planted in the north saw everything clearly. There’s no way it’s fake.”

“But when the Sword God came out of seclusion and treated Emperor Sheng Yuan, there was clearly nothing wrong with him.”

“Perhaps we were all deceived. Perhaps, in fact, the Sword God was greatly injured after removing the poison. He was just pretending to be fine to fool us.”

Everyone thought this explanation made sense. Otherwise, why did the Sword God not show up after he set out to the border? And why was his sword broken and in the hands of others? There must be something going on.

King Zhao and the others were greatly encouraged by this news. Initially, they were still fearful of being retaliated by the Sword God, but at this moment, they were completely relieved.

At this moment, Zhou Hao also received a message from his sect.

“Congratulations, Your Highness. A message from my sect said that the First Sect Elder has already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm and is on his way here. I believe that in less than two hours, he will be able to break the array formation and capture the emperor!”

Everyone quickly congratulated Zhou Hao. “Now that the Sword God is gone and your sect’s elder has broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, I believe victory is close at hand.”

“I will reward Sect Master Zhou most handsomely after the new dynasty is established.”

King Zhao couldn’t stop smiling. “Even the heavens are on my side. Emperor Sheng Yuan, you are doomed.”
