Chapter 547 - Di Jiu’s Battle
“The next wave of worm attacks should occur between one to four hours later. Dao-Seeking Union, guard Position A. Stretch the perimeter according to your numbers. The rest of the groups should do this as well. North Itinerant Coalition, guard Position B; Golden Saber Union, Position C…”
Following Mu Jie’s commands, Di Jiu saw that the groups of cultivators started spreading out. The Dao-Seeking Union, which consisted of around 100 people, spread out to occupy a distance of around 500 feet. The North Itinerant Coalition, which had around 70 people, spread out to occupy around 350 feet…
Di Jiu realized that this assigning method was meant to ensure that two people would be in charge of guarding 10 feet. It was of no wonder that around 1,000 people would come here each time.
The assignment ended quickly. Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were the last to be assigned. However, there were still around 30 feet left, which would usually be guarded by six people.
The two of them did not speak, as they wanted to watch and see how Mu Jie intended to relegate the responsibilities of guarding the last 30 feet.
Mu Jie looked at them and said, “This is your first time here at the Wormhole, so you might need to join one of the teams. If you have nowhere else to go, you can join the Dao-Seeking Union.”
“What if we have no intention of joining a team?” Di Jiu frowned. He had already clearly stated his stance. Did he need to repeat it?
Mu Jie nodded her head. “I know. It is just that there are 30 feet left. If you could convince a group to help you guard 20 feet, you guys would have no problem with the last 10 feet.”
Di Jiu understood and tried to clarify this. “Union Lord Mu, do you mean that if I join the Dao-Seeking Union, the distance the union has to defend would extend to 30 feet?”
The worms had yet to arrive and some cultivators who were experienced in the Array Dao had already scattered some array flags around in case of an emergency.
They did not have to wait much longer. One hour had just passed when they heard a shrill sound. Without needing Mu Jie to remind them, almost everyone took out their Dharma treasures at the same time.
A dense, seemingly endless wave of worms appeared.
This was the Worm Tide? Di Jiu subconsciously looked at Mu Jie and the others. Noting their calm expressions, he realized that this was not the Worm Tide.
Boom! When the worms at the very front collided with the cultivators on the defensive line, the battle started.
A frighteningly pungent smell and a faint poisonous mist aura engulfed the air with every worm that was torn apart. According to the defense circumference of each individual, Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were covering the widest area. Several dozen worms reached their area almost as soon as the first worm collided with the defense line.
Di Jiu saw very clearly with his Spiritual Force that their density was definitely several times bigger than the number of cultivators. It seemed that worms did indeed like to appear from the corners.
Zhuo Wujia had already taken out his Dharma treasure, which was a Cosmic Kun Pagoda. With its appearance, a wave of killing intent enveloped the area, its strength increasing…
Mu Jie had originally intended to help Di Jiu out, but the number of worms this time was evidently greater. It was a bit difficult to defend the Dao-Seeking Union’s territory, much less to help Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia.
After unsheathing the Heavenly Aqua Saber, Di Jiu executed a saber screen. At the same time, the nomological array flags were activated, forming a Poison-Dispelling Array and a Strangulation Array. Only Di Jiu was capable of using nomological array flags to construct a major array.
The Strangulation Array Di Jiu created was different from other Strangulation Arrays, as there was a safe space within.
More than 100 worms were forced into that safe space by the Strangulation Array. Then, a wave of white saber flash streaked across that space. It was the Sky Screen Saber Move…
Pew! Pew! Pew! Numerous colorful bloody mists exploded as the over 100 worms were all slaughtered by Di Jiu’s singular saber move.
Zhuo Wujia had just killed a worm, but all the worms in the area had disappeared and the worms behind had yet to fill in the gap. He stared at Di Jiu in astonishment. He knew that Di Jiu was not weak, but he had not expected that he would be so strong.
