Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 1769 Some More Time

As soon as the three puppets appeared, they slammed into the three people, knocking them away. Two of them flew toward the barrier uncontrollably and surprisingly slipped right past the barrier without encountering any difficulty.

The barrier either didn’t allow people from only entering, or had no problems with people leaving it. Or, these two had some sort of tokens that let them go in and out of the barrier without being stopped.

The other four that were flying outside quickly caught the two that were tossed outside, but those were already knocked out, some of their bones surely broken by the impact.

Whisker had the puppets grab the last person who slid across the ground close to the barrier and drag them back. The man who had remained inside was very clearly knocked out, maybe even was already close to death.

Even a simple attack by something that was used by Immortals to train against was not something so simple.

Whisker ran up to the man and started searching for something. He grabbed the man’s storage bag and tossed it toward Long Huan who quickly grabbed it.

Long Huan looked inside briefly before quickly rushing into the building. He had only gone in for a few moments when he heard loud bangs coming from outside.

“They have started attacking the barrier,” Shan Wangjiu said. “We should finish what we’re here to do and leave quickly.”

“Yes,” Long Huan said as he stood before a platform that was clearly a base of control for a lot of different formations. He looked around frantically, trying to understand what did what.

Whisker looked at it too, recognizing a lot of the base formations. He started explaining what he thought some of these formations did.

Long Huan also finished looking through the man’s storage bag and managed to find a small golden medallion with an inscription of a giant cube at the center.

He closed his eyes and poured his senses into the medallion.

There were more loud bangs on the outside, taking away some of his attention, but not enough. Shan Wangjiu said something once again, but Long Huan ignored it as he looked at what he saw.

“Yes, got it!” he said and tried to do something, only to end up failing. “Ah! It will take some time. Dammit!”

There was one small problem, it seemed. He was at the headquarters and he had the authority to do whatever he wanted here thanks to the medallion he received. But even then, it would take time for him to manually go over each of the connections allowed to him through the medallion to disconnect them.

“Some time?” Whisker asked.

Long Huan nodded. “Don’t disturb me now. I’ll start working on it immediately.”

As Long Huan lost himself in the medallion, Shan Wangjiu realized that the noise coming from outside had not only intensified, but someone had managed to sneak in as well.

He instantly rushed outside and so did Whisker.

Shan Wangjiu launched out a golden sword slash, filled with Sword Qi onto one of the men that had entered with a small medallion on his hand.

The man managed to easily defend himself, but in doing so was stopped immediately.

Whisker sent out the puppets again, and started fighting the two people that had come in.

Nearly a dozen other fighters had gathered outside the building smashing onto the barrier with every attack they could.

With the two new opponents down, Shan Wangjiu looked to the sky with a grim smile on his face. “We will be okay, right?” he asked. “The barrier will hold?” .𝘤𝘰𝑚

As strong as the three puppets were, they could not defeat the swarm of a dozen Saint before they could kill Whisker.

Whisker remembered what Long Huan had told them. This building was new, and thus the formation was most likely not connected to a spirit vein.

Which meant there was only a limited amount of Spirit stones for it to use before it ran out of power.

Now, all they could do was hope that the barrier could hold on long enough for Long Huan to do what he had come here to do.

The war in the sky seemed to slow down a lot as the number on either side came to be close. The stalemate increased and no one got any upper hand on the other side.

The Eastern Continent’s soldiers slowly moved back, acting upon orders made by some higher-ups. What was once a disorderly army due to being surprise attacked, was no longer that.

As more of their army came to help, the army got into formation, fighting as they were meant to.

Hannah was still fighting with the Dragon Emperor, neither getting the upper hand on the other.

Hannah let out a stream of chill mist from her sword, slashing with it at the emperor as though she were using a whip.

The Dragon Emperor put up his shield to block it and sent out a torrent of water toward Hannah.

Hannah swung her sword, the stream of mist slapping the torrent of water out of the air, before retaliating with another quick attack.

The Dragon Emperor fought back, equally angry and annoyed at the situation. He was angry that he needed so many people behind him just to make him strong enough to fight a girl who wasn’t even a century old.

He was supposed to be one of the strongest people in the entire world and seeing someone who was clearly stronger had made him a lot more angry.

He had spent so many of his days improving himself inside of his palace, but that hadn’t worked at all, it seemed. He had only just managed to fight her to a standstill thanks to the help he had.

‘Her battle prowess is too strong,’ he thought. ‘This fight will go nowhere.’

His people were also constantly telling him to fall back. The Dragon Emperor decided to comply.

He raised his Noble Dragon spear and called upon thunder and lightning from his body. The power of Wood Qi turning into lightning surged through his body and he fed it all into the spear.

Then, he stabbed forward, attacking with not just regular Qi, but Immortal Qi. He had been saving it all this time just in case he needed it, and this seemed like the best time.

Hannah’s eyes widened in surprise and she quickly changed into using Immortal Qi as well. The mist forming in her sword solidified, turning into extremely cold ice that covered her sword.

She drew it all back and then slashed.

Ice and lightning exploded in the center, sending out a massive shockwave that sent people flying away.

Both Hannah and the Dragon Emperor were also pushed back by the force, and thrown into the distance.

The Emperor used the moment to go back to his people as many others slowly closed in to form a wall to stop Hannah from going after the Emperor.

Hannah looked at them with gritted teeth and looked back to see more people closing in on her. Disappointed, she turned around and flew away, leaving the battlefield to meet up with the rest of her people.

She could tell that the status quo of the overall battle was slowly changing.
