Chapter 333 - 327: Cornered, Zhang Jue Comes to the Rescue
Tiger Robe Ming King also came prepared, and their invasion was fierce.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Yaksha, with the force of a storm, stormed into the Fourth Layer of Minor Hell.
At this time, the indigenous people from the fifteen layers below had already been brainwashed by Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Han Shantong, and Liu Futong.
They formed an army against the World Honored; however, when Tiger Robe Ming King ordered the attack, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Han Shantong, and Liu Futong were not in the Fourth Layer of Minor Hell.
Without leadership, the indigenous army was caught off guard by Tiger Robe Ming King and the Yaksha.
...
...
At the junction between the Third Layer and the Fourth Layer of Minor Hell, the anti-World Honored army was stationed here.
Concerning the counterattack from Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Han Shantong, and Liu Futong had actually anticipated it.
In this Fourth Layer of Minor Hell, they had indeed set up tight defenses.
However, the arrival of Tiger Robe Ming King was far beyond their expectations.
Led by three thousand Fierce Tiger Group members disguised as ordinary Yaksha, they quickly broke through the anti-World Honored army’s first line of defense.
Then, the second line, and the third.
In just three to four hours, the Fourth Layer of Minor Hell was already lost.
And then it was the Fifth Layer of Minor Hell, and the Sixth Layer of Minor Hell.
Within a single day, the Yaksha had reached the Seventh Layer of Minor Hell.
Compared to this Yaksha army, the temporarily assembled anti-World Honored army seemed somewhat vulnerable.
Fierce and unstoppable, under Tiger Robe Ming King’s command, the Yaksha army was a sweeping force.
In the Eighth Layer of Minor Hell.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked grim, they appeared somewhat oppressed.
This rebellion against the World Honored seemed to resemble the uprising against Qin Shi Huang back in the day.
More or less, it seemed to be a case of starting strong and ending weak.
Initially, with great momentum, they quickly rallied many indigenous people to form the uprising army.
However, this uprising army was overrun swiftly, as if rapidly extinguished by the Yaksha army.
The current scenario was exactly reminiscent of when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started their uprising at Daze Mountain.
Faced with this, Lin Yuan had no particularly good tactic.
Helplessly, Lin Yuan could only use his tortoise shell to contact Elder Bai again, hoping to get a solution from him.
After all, this idea came from Elder Bai, and now, since this strategy was not working well, he could only turn to Elder Bai.
After getting in touch with Elder Bai, the result Elder Bai gave was two words: "Delay, wait."
The main force of this rebellion is the vengeful souls from the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell.
So, they have to wait for Zhang Jiao to break through with the vengeful souls from the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell to provide support.
Only souls can enter the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell, so after the Sect Leader entered the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell, Lin Yuan lost contact with him.
At the moment, Lin Yuan didn’t know what the situation was on Zhang Jiao’s side.
In this situation, Lin Yuan didn’t have too many strategies.
He could only let Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and the others hold on for now, while hoping in his heart that Zhang Jiao would resolve things quickly and lead the fierce ghosts from the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell to charge out.
However, Lin Yuan waited one day, two days, three days...
As time passed, their survival space continued to shrink, yet Zhang Jiao’s support was nowhere to be seen.
Layer after layer of Minor Hell was gradually lost, Lin Yuan and the others had been driven back to the Eighteen Layers of Minor Hell.
In fact, behind Lin Yuan, one could already see the gate between the Eighteen Layers of Minor Hell and the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell.
"We can’t retreat any further!"
"Retreat any further, and we’ll have to abandon our physical forms and enter into the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell," Liuyu Heaven said with an urgent expression.
Lin Yuan knew this, but what could they do if they don’t retreat?
They couldn’t win, they simply couldn’t defeat them.
Guangmu Heaven released a fire dragon, the dragon sprayed flames across the battlefield, occasionally devouring hundreds of ordinary people in one bite.
Zengzhang Heaven wielded a Treasure Sword, the blade danced and slashed, with sword qi flying around, leaving gashes on the ground.
Just the two of them alone dominated the battlefield like war gods, and among the indigenous army, no one could resist.
As for Lin Yuan, he did not dare to act rashly.
The only way he could possibly kill either Zengzhang Heaven or Guangmu Heaven was by using the power of King Zhuanlun to forcibly contend with them.
However, Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven showed no signs of acting separately. If he used King Zhuanlun’s power to challenge one, the other could easily defeat him.
The Yaksha army was unstoppable, and the indigenous army was falling apart.
At this moment, the hidden Tiger Robe Ming King was quietly scanning the indigenous army with his Magical Treasure "Tiger Eye Inch Light."
Tiger Robe Ming King was looking for Lin Yuan’s whereabouts.
In the crimson vision of the Magical Treasure "Tiger Eye Inch Light," everything was laid bare.
Soon, Tiger Robe Ming King pinpointed Lin Yuan’s true location, and for a moment, Lin Yuan was truly in a desperate situation.
After locating Lin Yuan’s true body, Tiger Robe Ming King didn’t raise an alarm but instead discreetly transmitted messages to Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven, instructing them to surround Lin Yuan from the left and right.
Zengzhang Heaven swung his sword; Guangmu Heaven controlled his dragon, and with each gesture, large numbers of indigenous people were sent flying like severed kites.
The indigenous army had collapsed entirely, and Lin Yuan, with Liuyu Heaven, had already changed locations several times.
However, wherever they moved, Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven followed and attacked relentlessly.
Lin Yuan was no fool, he realized immediately that they had been exposed.
"This is bad!"
"We’ve been exposed!" Lin Yuan said to Liuyu Heaven.
Hearing this, Liuyu Heaven broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "Wasn’t the tortoise shield supposed to hide us from anyone below Tier Two?"
"How could we be exposed?"
"There must be someone behind Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven giving them directions. We move, they attack right where we are, exposure is undeniable!"
"Today, if Zhang Jiao’s reinforcements don’t arrive, we are done for!"
"If we’re forced beyond measures, we can only abandon our flesh and escape to the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell and then make further plans!" Lin Yuan said with a cold face.
At this moment, Lin Yuan had prepared for the worst.
Escaping to the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell as souls was better than falling into the hands of Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven and being completely obliterated.
Lin Yuan had killed their brethren; if captured, he certainly wouldn’t meet a good end.
Yet, heaven didn’t utterly forsake him.
Just at this desperate time, they heard a resounding chant from the rotting gate behind them.
"The azure sky is dead, the yellow sky shall rise, in the years of jiazi, the world shall be at peace."
