**Chapter 5: In the Name of the Sect Leader (Bonus Update)**
==============================
After grasping the King’s heartfelt intentions, Cold Moon couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions wash over her. She had always admired the King’s wisdom, and ever since she was nominated as the Second Great King of Cold Wind City, she strived to get closer to the King, aiming to become a wise sage herself.
But looking at it now, her level of thinking was miles away from the King’s, perhaps even a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to catch up!
The King’s grand schemes, profound thoughts, and extensive strategies were like a dense spider web, and the battle between White Feather City and Cold Wind City was likely just a tiny node on that web in the King’s eyes.
Each step was meticulously calculated by the King.
How could the enemy possibly avoid defeat?
She glanced at the Wolf Demon, Tiger Demon, Seven Feathers, and other great demons beside her, who were all nodding along, and smiled, “The King’s wisdom is as high as the sky and deeper than the ocean. What the King aspires to is beyond our current level of understanding.
Thus, the only thing we can do is strictly execute every command from the King, never allowing for any discounts. Only by closely following the King can we hope to witness the day when the ultimate goal is achieved.
Anyone hesitating or making mistakes on this hard road will definitely fall behind the King’s rhythm and be eliminated by this world.
So, you should understand the Royal intentions.”
“Yes, Second Great King.”
The great demons were well aware that this was the Second Great King giving them a stern reminder.
After experiencing the might of the Demon-Slaying Squad, these great demons had long since accepted their fate, not daring to have any other thoughts.
Some demons that had fled mid-battle with a few subordinates were now sneaking back onto the battlefield as if nothing had happened.
But Cold Moon had already noticed their behavior; she shot them a cold glance but didn’t explode in anger.
After all, the battle wasn’t over, and internal strife at this point would only give everyone else a good laugh.
At this moment, the intelligence-reducing buff of the nursery rhyme and the self-healing buff had already taken effect. Once the time ended, they would enter a cooldown period.
If the weakening buff didn’t appear, they would need to sing the nursery rhyme again. But there was no time left for the Heavenly Demon Sound Sisters to hum a tune, so Lin Nan immediately shifted her consciousness to the familiar Little Musashi.
When multiple character cards are in the same scene, the controller can switch cards at any time, maximizing risk avoidance.
However, the downside is that once you switch consciousness, the card you just possessed will fall into a brief daze state.
In other words, unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to switch consciousness at will during battle; otherwise, it may leave a temporary opening for the enemy.
In high-level combat, even a slight flaw could become a fatal threat.
So, upon confirming that the Heavenly Demon Sound Sisters were temporarily out of action, Lin Nan unhesitatingly commanded Little Musashi to raise her twin blades.
With the bonus of the self-healing buff, as long as the enemy couldn’t take her out in one hit, with her current silver-level strength, even if her opponent was Li Ying Tian, she would surely give him a bit of trouble before meeting her demise.
Moreover, as a card collector, Lin Nan didn’t want her Demon-Slaying Squad to suffer casualties due to battle.
So, she simply ordered Wei Wenxuan to press forward with everyone.
After all, the Extermination of Immortals Demon-Slaying Squad had already made their debut, and their lines with Thousand Bird City were officially crossed.
It’s the dumbest thing to preach righteousness on the battlefield.
As the intelligence-reducing buff was still in effect, the entire White Feather City army only had Li Ying Tian remaining unaffected.
Meanwhile, the Assistant General Vulture occasionally hummed a line or two, “Daddy’s daddy is grandpa,” going from clear-headed to confused like a child who could never finish singing a song, effectively losing all combat ability.
The golden-grade effect of the Heavenly Demon Sound was not to be underestimated; as long as she could finish singing the nursery rhyme, even one of the three buffs appearing randomly would cause a huge disruption to the enemy.
Li Ying Tian smirked, “What? You think just because you have the numbers, victory is in the bag?”
Gongsun Ding’s mind sword was still connected, and if the mind sword suffered damage, so would the spirit.
Li Ying Tian’s mind sword could manifest externally, sharp enough to be compared with golden-grade weapons; even if shattered, it wouldn’t affect the main body.
The longer he trained, the better the material quality of the mind sword.
As the Demon-Slaying Squad of eleven (with Strong Brother sitting out) charged in an unstoppable momentum, over fifty illusionary swords hovered in the air, then shot forward like missiles with a series of short explosive sounds aimed right at their targets.
Li Ying Tian could never allow the honor of the Thousand Bird City’s leader to be compromised.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
The sounds of slicing through the air were ear-piercing.
Leading the charge, Wei Wenxuan relied solely on his leg strength since he hadn’t trained in combat techniques, floating momentarily in mid-air.
Li Ying Tian placed considerable importance on him, allocating ten flying swords to him.
“Clang, clang!” Amidst the chaotic sounds, Wei Wenxuan managed to deflect seven of the flying swords, but the last three were simply out of his league.
“Thud…”
That was the dull sound of a sword piercing flesh.
One sword drove deep into his chest, leaving only the hilt and a bit of the blade sticking out.
If it had been an ordinary person, such an injury would have led to immediate d*ath.
Even with his physical training at its peak, Wei Wenxuan spat out a mouthful of bl**d, feeling his veins seriously harmed.
The other two swords impaled his shoulder and right leg.
In an instant, he took a nosedive.
Meanwhile, Little Musashi unleashed a long-prepared “Dual Sword Style! Gale Split k*ll Formation,” knocking the three flying swords directed at her out of the air.
Half of the remaining Demon-Slaying Squad members fell from their wounds.
Li Ying Tian scoffed, conjuring another twenty swords in the air, targeting the still uninjured enemies.
But at that moment, those who had been wounded under Wei Wenxuan’s leadership grit their teeth and bore the excruciating pain, forcibly pulling the blades out of their bodies.
Accompanied by heart-wrenching screams, something unbelievable happened right before Li Ying Tian’s eyes.
The enormous wounds, which should have been terrifying, began to heal slowly in an instant. Just ten seconds later, the Demon-Slaying Squad was back at full health.
Li Ying Tian immediately realized that this was the rapid healing effect from that nursery rhyme, sounding almost demonic.
Although he didn’t know how long it would last, for now, as long as they weren’t killed in a single blow, they had hopes of resurrection.
“In that case, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
The twenty swords were quickly infused with unrivaled true energy, their sharpness momentarily matching diamond-grade weapons.
With just a simple wave of his hand, the twenty-plus shooting stars scattered, aiming directly for the necks of the Demon-Slaying Squad.
Let’s see if you can recover after I decapitate you!
“Clang, clang…”
The weapons of two squad members were shattered by the incoming flying swords, producing a crisp ringing sound.
“Uh…”
The swords then plunged into their throats, as if someone were holding the swords themselves, yanking them outward suddenly.
bl**d splattered like a waterfall, and two fine heads rolled to the ground.
The remaining squad members were taken aback.
They dared not clash weapons any longer, immediately using their skills to dodge the flying swords, causing the formation of the Demon-Slaying Squad to fall apart and unable to regroup.
Meanwhile, Li Ying Tian casually grasped a massive red sword aura in his hand.
He intended to personally k*ll Wei Wenxuan.
To sever the name of Extermination of Immortals!
