Suddenly, the surroundings became calm.
The words spoken by Hu Feifan just now were etched in everyone’s minds, and they understood that what Hu Feifan had said was very reasonable.
"What’s the matter? Weren’t you all talking just now? Why are you silent all of a sudden?" After quite a while, Hu Feifan spoke again.
Finally, someone stood out and said, "Old City Lord, we’ll heed your command and resist to the end!"
"Yes, resist to the end!"
Soon, many pledged their commitment to continue resisting alongside Hu Feifan.
Hu Feifan, with a smile, said, "You don’t have to worry. With all the strategies young master left in Cloud West City, so long as we all work together, holding out for three days won’t be much of a problem. At most, we’ll just have some additional sacrifices!"
Eventually, Cloud West City desperately continued its defense.
Despite the Alliance Army’s attacks growing fiercer with each assault.
But with the use of Arrays, Pattern Engraving Bombs, layers upon layers of Arrays, and the Battle Formations previously trained by Lin Fan, they managed to repel the enemy’s attacks time and time again.
Initially, everyone in the Alliance Army thought Cloud West City would fall quickly.
After so much time had passed, Cloud West City, despite its grievous losses, was still resisting stubbornly.
This baffled the people of the Alliance Army.
They did not understand how Cloud West City was managing to do this.
Finally, three days passed.
For Cloud West City, these three days were truly a hellish disaster.
To speak frankly, three days ago, they had never imagined they could actually withstand the siege for three days.
Now, as the three days had passed, they felt as if they were in a surreal dream.
Even the morale of everyone in Cloud West City soared as they felt more invigorated in combat, believing if it continued, they could hold out for another three days.
Of course, many had died in Cloud West City over these three days.
But those who died were either of average talent or combat strength; only the true elites managed to survive through this trial by fire.
They represent Cloud West City’s most powerful, elite forces.
Hu Feifan stood atop the city walls, his body covered in blood—some his own, some from the warriors of Cloud West City, and some from the enemy.
A cold indifference flashed through Hu Feifan’s eyes as he sternly declared, "Everyone, listen up! Keep on resisting. Even if the young master doesn’t come, we will fend the enemy off with our own strength."
"Drive back the enemy, drive back the enemy!"
The morale of all in Cloud West City surged to unprecedented heights.
Meanwhile, atop a mystical mountain not far from Cloud West City.
This mountain was shrouded in mist throughout the year, with miasma lingering within, and it was difficult for human Cultivators to stay there for long without being poisoned.
Hence, under normal circumstances, few people ventured into this mountain.
But now, thirteen individuals stood atop the mountain.
These thirteen were none other than Lin Fan, along with twelve other cultivators at the Peak of the Life and Death Realm.
In the Peak of Life and Death Realm, one is already at the transcendent peak level. Just one step beyond this realm is to become a powerful being in the Saint Ascension tier.
And once one enters the Saint Ascension tier, it’s like entering another world altogether.
The twelve people standing behind Lin Fan had not uttered a word, but from their demeanor toward Lin Fan, it was clear that they held him in very high regard.
Three days ago, these twelve individuals had looked down on Lin Fan; they had caused all kinds of trouble while Lin Fan was training them. However, after Lin Fan resorted to various methods, they were completely convinced and now held deep respect for Lin Fan.
At this moment, they were all witnessing the situation of the battle at Cloud West City.
After a while, Lin Fan gestured with his hand and said, "Set up the formation; let’s go!"
One of the twelve voiced a firm response.
This person was the captain of Lin Fan’s combat team. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novèlfire.net
Over the past three days, Lin Fan had been using these twelve people to train a combat team, which was constantly practicing a Battle Formation.
The Combat Six-Character Formation!
Lin Fan’s Combat Six-Character Formation was actually derived from the deeper principles of the Combat Six-Character Technique.
Lin Fan had taken all the variations within the Combat Six-Character Technique and, after modification, incorporated them into the Combat Six-Character Formation.
Although it hadn’t yet been tested against enemies, Lin Fan felt that this Combat Six-Character Formation was truly extraordinary and would not disappoint.
"Fast Character Technique!"
Lin Fan exclaimed in a light voice.
In a split second, the Fast Character Technique was also activated within the Combat Six-Character Formation.
Suddenly, the twelve individuals in the Combat Six-Character Formation, like a whirlwind, charged towards the direction of Cloud West City, leaving only a shadow behind, making it impossible to track their positions and movements. The deployment of the Fast Character Technique in the Combat Six-Character Formation was indeed as fast as a shadow.
Even Lin Fan was somewhat astonished at such speed upon witnessing it.
Lin Fan thought to himself, "This Combat Six-Character Formation, could it be even more powerful than I imagined? Heh, it seems this formation is destined not to disappoint me. Wonderful!"
Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile.
"Fast Character Technique!"
Following that, Lin Fan also activated the Fast Character Technique of the Combat Six-Character Technique and rushed out with the combat team ahead.
Under normal circumstances, even using the Fast Character Technique, Lin Fan would not have been able to catch up with the combat team. However, Lin Fan had previously inscribed the Pattern Engraving Technique on his legs, and when activating the Fast Character Technique, he also triggered the Pattern Engraving Technique on his legs. Thus, Lin Fan’s speed was extremely fast, and he could keep up with the combat team.
At this time, the Alliance Army surrounding Cloud West City was trying to find a way to assault the city.
Inside the Marshal’s Tent, a middle-aged man stood silently; in front of him was a map.
The middle-aged man’s brows were tightly furrowed, his mood extremely grim.
This person was actually a member of the Gaitian Alliance, named Zhang Jun.
He was sent here to command the surrounding Alliance Army to take Cloud West City in the shortest time possible.
Zhang Jun had always thought that, with his own strength and the prowess of the Alliance Army, taking Cloud West City would be a matter of minutes. And by capturing Cloud West City, he would have made a significant contribution.
After so many days, Cloud West City still stood unmoved?
This ignited some irritation in his heart.
"Array Master, could it be... that you really have no solution for this Array?" Zhang Jun coldly asked the Array Master beside him.
The Array Master quickly replied respectfully, "Lord Zhang, I truly have no solution. The Array wasn’t that powerful initially, but it has been greatly enhanced later on. With the current level of my Array Path skills, it is simply impossible to break through it."
