Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2705: Chapter 2705: Offensive and Defensive Mastery

The first wave of Immortals from the six top-tier forces who charged into the Formations failed to break them as they had wished, and instead suffered a ferocious counterattack from the arrays.

In an instant, blood filled the air, flesh and bone flew, and miserable screams rang out without end.

The layers of Immortal Arrays personally laid down by Fang Bai were like one meat grinder after another, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Immortals from the six top-tier forces.

Not long after, that first wave of Immortals from the six top-tier forces who had fallen into the Formations were all annihilated within them.

The pervasive stench of blood, the severed limbs scattered across the ground, the vast number of destroyed Immortal Artifacts... all this proclaimed the might of the Emperor’s Palace Formations and the grievous losses of the six top-tier forces.

Watching so many of their companions fall within the Formations, the Immortals of the six top-tier forces finally realized how fearsome those arrays were.

They no longer dared to risk their lives, but encircled the Emperor’s Palace layer upon layer, shouting ceaselessly, trying to enrage the Immortals of the Emperor’s Palace under the protection of the Formations into coming out to face them.

"Master Mink knows you all want to go out and fight a great battle to your heart’s content, but the Palace Master already spoke: without his permission, no one is allowed to go out and fight on their own..."

Lightning Mink stood on the plaza before the Palace Master Hall, his gaze sweeping over the tens of thousands of Emperor’s Palace Immortals all around, and shouted loudly.

He could see that the Immortals of the Emperor’s Palace were all high-spirited, their battle intent surging; they had no fear whatsoever of the six top-tier forces whose numbers were nearly ten times their own.

If not for the restraint of himself, an Emperor Realm Expert, he feared that the impassioned Immortals of the Emperor’s Palace would already have rushed out of the Immortal Arrays to clash with the six top-tier forces in a great battle.

In truth, Lightning Mink himself very much wanted to go out and battle the Immortals of the six top-tier forces, but when he thought of Fang Bai’s instructions, he forcibly suppressed that impulse.

Fang Bai had told Lightning Mink that the overall strength of the six top-tier forces far surpassed that of the Emperor’s Palace, and so this time the Emperor’s Palace must respond primarily with defense.

As long as they could repel the six top-tier forces, it would already be a great victory for the Emperor’s Palace.

Of course, if Fang Bai and the other Immortal Emperors could defeat the six top-tier Immortal Emperors, then the hundreds of thousands of Immortals from the six top-tier forces would collapse.

At that time, the Emperor’s Palace Disciples could seize the momentum and strike, mercilessly beating the dogs that had fallen into the water.

Thus, all the Immortals of the Emperor’s Palace were waiting, hoping for good news to arrive.

"They’re fighting so fiercely out there! When will Master Mink get to have some fun too!"

Lightning Mink’s Divine Sense diffused in all directions; discovering that the void in several directions was constantly collapsing and then being restored by the laws of heaven and earth, he knew that must be the battlefield of Fang Bai and the other Emperor Realm Experts. He did not know how their battle was faring at this moment, and he scratched his ears in anxious frustration.

"The strength of top-tier Immortal Emperors is by no means weak! I wonder if Fang Bai, facing three alone, can force his opponents back!"

"He has Divine Artifacts assisting him; that should be enough, shouldn’t it!"

"I really want to go help him! Sadly my strength is too weak—if I leave the protection of these Formations, my life might be forfeit!"

"Fang Bai doesn’t like to boast! If he dares to face three top-tier Immortal Emperors alone, that proves he has confidence in defeating them!"

"Just sit tight and wait! Perhaps good news will arrive very soon!"

...

Xia Chenyu, Qin Yaorao and the other Female Immortals, like the many Emperor’s Palace Immortals, were gathered on the plaza before the Palace Master Hall, clustered together and whispering among themselves.

As for the hundreds of thousands of Disciples from the six top-tier forces being blocked outside the Emperor’s Palace Formations, they simply did not take them to heart.

To break the Formations set up by Fang Bai, one would either have to be more accomplished than Fang Bai in the Array Path, or possess strength far surpassing Fang Bai’s to forcibly destroy the arrays, or else wait until the Immortal Stones maintaining the circulation of the Formations were exhausted; aside from these, there was no other way.

As for the first two points, even the six top-tier Immortal Emperors were incapable of achieving them.

As for Immortal Stones, the Emperor’s Palace reserves were vast, enough to sustain the circulation of the Formations around the Emperor’s Palace for years on end.

Thus, with the Disciples of the Emperor’s Palace under the protection of the Formations, they had no need to worry that the Immortals of the six top-tier forces would break the arrays and charge inside.

The tens of thousands of Emperor’s Palace Immortals gathered on the plaza before the Palace Master Hall, idle with nothing to do, kept one eye on the movements around the Formations, while silently rehearsing Combined Assault Formations, waiting only for the six top-tier Immortal Emperors to be driven back by Fang Bai and the Emperor Realm Experts of the Emperor’s Palace side, so that they too could rush out and slaughter to their hearts’ content.

In the void to the southwest of the Emperor’s Palace, ten thousand miles distant from it, the Hundred Flowers Empress and the Great Luo Immortal Emperor were currently standing shoulder to shoulder, joining forces in a great battle against the Ice River Empress.

The Hundred Flowers Empress, who hated the Ice River Empress to the bone, wore a beautiful face filled with killing intent, her silver teeth clenched, both hands gripping the Bipartite Dual Swords, which she swung in interweaving arcs, transforming into ten thousand sword shadows, wishing she could slay the Ice River Empress with a single stroke.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor had previously rehearsed combined attack methods many times with the Hundred Flowers Empress; his coordination with her was seamless, and for the moment they were faintly gaining the upper hand.

The Ice River Empress had not expected to be held up here by two Immortal Emperors of the Emperor’s Palace, and she could not help but feel somewhat agitated.

Especially just now, when she heard the howling call for aid from the Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor, she realized that today’s battle was by no means proceeding as smoothly as she had imagined beforehand.

Before coming to the Emperor’s Palace, the six top-tier Immortal Emperors had already thoroughly investigated the Emperor’s Palace’s situation, and knew that including Fang Bai, there were eight Immortal Emperors stationed there.

Although the Emperor Realm Experts of the Emperor’s Palace outnumbered them by two, as old-brand top-tier Immortal Emperors they had confidence in each fighting two at once; in that case, only if the Emperor’s Palace had more than ten Emperor Realm Experts could it truly contend with them.

Yet the reality was that within just a few breaths of contact, the Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor, one of the six top-tier Immortal Emperors, had already begun to cry for aid; the other five top-tier Immortal Emperors had all heard that call.

However, apart from the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor and the Qingtian Immortal Emperor, the remaining three top-tier Immortal Emperors, including the Ice River Empress, were all entangled by the Emperor Realm Experts of the Emperor’s Palace, unable to break free to aid the Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor.

The battlefields of the few top-tier Immortal Emperors were not too far apart, and they could occasionally probe each other with Divine Sense.

When the Ice River Empress discovered that the former War Emperor was actually fighting three opponents alone and yet not falling into disadvantage, she could not help but draw in a cold breath.

"No wonder, with his strength not yet restored to its former peak realm, he still dared to announce the reconstruction of the Emperor’s Palace... If some time passes and his power fully recovers, I fear that even if our six top-tier Immortal Emperors join forces, we may be unable to defeat him."

Thinking of this, the Ice River Empress couldn’t help but shiver, and resolved that in this battle Fang Bai must be slain no matter what, otherwise in the future it might be they, the six top-tier Immortal Emperors, who would be cut down.

The other several top-tier Immortal Emperors harbored the same thoughts as the Ice River Empress, knowing that this battle concerned their future life and death; thus all fought with Emperor’s Instruments in hand, attacking with their full might.

"Ice River, a thousand years ago your hands were drenched in the blood of the Emperor’s Palace Disciples—today I’ll make you repay it double!"

With a cold shout from the Hundred Flowers Empress, the Bipartite Dual Swords danced, and curtain after curtain of sword light poured down like the waters of the Galaxy, cascading toward the Ice River Empress.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor’s face was solemn as his palms struck out again and again; massive golden palms, bearing boundless imperial might, followed close behind those curtains of sword light, rumbling as they smashed down upon the Ice River Empress.
