Chapter 333: Turbulent World (4)
Five hundred disciples of Hwasan had departed the main temple.
Excluding the three hundred sent to aid the people’s evacuation, the remaining number was a mere two hundred.
According to intelligence from the Heavenly Pavilion under the direct command of the Overlord, the barbarians number nearly thirty thousand. This is nothing short of trying to crack a rock with an egg.
But how could one be called a warrior of Mount Hua if they feared death?
Disciples including Jingong maintained their composure, restoring order to the chaotic security within Xi’an. They began preparing to meet the enemy by erecting wooden fences and digging trenches to hinder the cavalry’s advance.
Three days later, just one day after all the citizens of Xian had evacuated.
Thud, thud, thud, thud.
A massive cloud of dust began rising beyond the horizon where the sunset was fading.
The sword user who saw that scene let out a low groan.
“Hmm…”
He sensed the enemy’s military discipline was well-maintained, foreseeing a battle far more difficult than anticipated.
‘This is going to be tough to survive.’
He wasn’t afraid of death.
Having never reached the Absolute Realm, he would have met a natural death soon enough, even without this crisis.
However, the annihilation of the Second Generation Disciples, who represented the present of Huashan, was a different matter entirely.
Although the third-generation disciples, representing the future of the Volcano Sect, had been evacuated, if the second-generation disciples, including Jin-gung, were wiped out, it could take decades to restore the sect’s former glory.
