With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 488 Fallen hope

The sect master of the Gale Sect had a very ugly expression on his face when he heard this.

He could see the looks of despair that were on the faces of all the Gale Sect disciples and elders. It was clear that their spirits had been crushed when they saw their ancestor being dragged away by that expert that had suddenly appeared.

Everyone had seen that this expert that had appeared out of nowhere used swords, so they knew that this person was a sword cultivator.

Sword cultivators were known for one thing…being much stronger than other cultivators at the same level.

It wasn't that they were overall stronger, it was just that they had overwhelming attack power. Unless one was able to defend against that attack power, it would be hard to defeat a sword cultivator at the same level.

The sect master of the Gale Sect also knew that it would be unlikely that their ancestor would be able to defeat that sword cultivator.

However, that didn't mean that they could give up.

After all, the only thing that was waiting for them if they gave up was death.

If they gave up on resisting, then they would be slaughtered by the army that was in front of them.

So no matter how desperate the situation looked, they couldn't give up and had to do what they could.

As long as they held out in hopes that their ancestor would win, they would have a chance to survive as opposed to just waiting for death.

At the same time, if they struggled, they might be able to find an opening that would allow them to escape.

So no matter what, they couldn't give in to this despair.

After thinking this through, the sect master of the Gale Sect suddenly shouted, "Great elders, please activate that formation! We need to drive them back with that formation or else we won't be able to hold on!"

The four Great Elders had been lost in thought after seeing the ancestor being pulled away like that.

When they heard what the sect master said, they immediately snapped back from their thoughts.

After all, they had realized the same thing as the sect master while they were thinking. They knew that as long as they fought back, they would be able to find a chance to escape.

So they couldn't give up.

The four Great Elders looked at each other and nodded in unison before flying into the air. After ascending into the air, the four of them suddenly spread out in different directions before suddenly stopping.

Once they stopped, there was a burst of spiritual energy that was released.

It didn't just come from the Great Elders, but also from the center of the Gale Sect.

Based on the spiritual energy that was released, it seemed that the Gale Sect had another trump card other than the ancestor…No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like this would be a dangerous formation.

So General Lu turned to look at Lin Fan, as if he was waiting for him to act.

But Lin Fan shook his head and said, "It can't be used anymore."

General Lu knitted his brows when he heard this. He looked at Lin Fan with a questioning gaze and said nothing.

Lin Fan explained, "There's a limit to how much energy it can shatter before it breaks. I need to repair it before it can be used again."

General Lu knitted his brows when he heard this, but he could also easily accept this.

After all, if there was something that could be used that frequently, it would completely disrupt the landscape of the battlefield. This was an item that had been able to shatter the large scale defensive array and the inner sect gate of the Gale Sect without taking any damage. Even when being attacked by all of the disciples and elders of the Gale Sect, it hadn't suffered a single bit of damage and had scattered all of their attacks.

This kind of ultimate defense could be used on any battlefield.

But if it was something that was of limited use and needed to be repaired constantly, he could accept it.

However, that didn't solve the problem of the formation that was being released in front of them.

The four Great Elders were gathering their spiritual energy now and it was only a matter of time before they released their attack.

So they did need to think of something to deal with this.

Lin Fan saw the look on General Lu's face and he couldn't help revealing an amused smile.

But since they were short on time, he gave a cough and said, "What about the thing that you were about to use before."

When General Lu heard this, he couldn't help looking at Lin Fan in a daze before thinking of what Lin Fan was talking about.

This was a special item that had been provided to him by Emperor Mu, it was an item that could unleash a full power strike from a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator when it was used.

Their plan had been to use this thing to quickly draw out the Soul Formation Realm Cultivator and then have the sword cultivator they had invited to take care of him. However, the plan that they were currently following was much better.

After all, if they had used this thing, they would have still been stuck in front of the inner sect gate.

They would have had to undergo a hard battle just to penetrate through the inner sect gate, which would have resulted in large casualties.

So it was better that they hadn't used it.

But now, it was the perfect chance to use this thing.

General Lu slowly took out the thing that Lin Fan had referred to and he hesitated to use it.

After all, he knew that Lin Fan would make fun of him if he were to use this thing since it was inferior to how Lin Fan had penetrated the Gale Sect's defensive arrays. But there was no time to think about that when they were facing this formation from the four Great Elders.

It was clear by the pressure that it released that it was almost done gathering its power.

So it was now or never.

General Lu took a deep breath before crushing the bead in his hand and then throwing it at the four Great Elders flying there in the air.

As soon as the bead was crushed, there was a powerful aura that appeared.

This powerful aura placed a large amount of pressure on not just the disciples, elders, and sect master of the Gale Sect, it even placed a large amount of pressure on the Great Elders who were all Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators.

The moment that they felt this pressure, they immediately recognized the danger that they were in. Without any hesitation, the four Great Elders immediately released the power of the formation that they had gathered.

This formation that they had formed created a large tornado in the center of the Gale Sect which went right for General Lu's army.

But before it could do anything, before it could even reach them, there was a powerful sword of spiritual energy that appeared in the air. This sword was immediately covered in flames before flying out at the tornado in front of it.

The moment that this sword made contact with the tornado, the same thing happened as before where the sword instantly scattered the tornado. But this wasn't the end of the sword's attack.

After the sword scattered the tornado, it suddenly turned into four separate swords of flames that flew out at the four Great Elders of the Gale Sect.

The four Great Elders had suffered a backlash from the formation being shattered by the sword, so they all spat out a mouthful of blood. But they also immediately sensed the four new swords that were coming at them.

They gathered what spiritual energy that they could to raise their guards, but the four swords shattered that and stabbed right into their bodies.

The four Great Elders were sent flying to the ground, creating craters where they had landed.

When General Lu saw this, he revealed a pleased look.

He never thought that this bead that he had been given would have such power. He was now glad that he had been able to save this because even if they had the ability to fight the four Great Elders, it would have been a hard fight.

But now that the four Great Elders were injured by the power of the bead, this would be easy for him.

General Lu suddenly jumped out and shouted, "On me!"

As soon as he shouted this, there were three different figures that jumped out of the army formation and appeared behind him.

Seeing the four of them in the air, the Gale Sect sect master immediately shouted, "Protect the four Great Elders! Don't let them approach the Great Elders or else we will all be finished!"

General Lu gave a snort when he heard this before saying with a disdainful laugh, "Do you really think that you can stop us?"

At this, all four of them released their auras.

These were auras that were equal to the ones that the four Great Elders had released before.

It seemed that they had been fully prepared and had brought four Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators of their own.

As the sect master was about to say something else, there was something that suddenly fell from the sky.

This was a figure that was covered in blood and was dripping blood onto the ground.

They couldn't see who this figure was at first…but then the sect master of the Gale Sect recognized this person…

It was their ancestor!
