NOVEL WEB Chapter 276: Knights Do Not Perish by Bare Hands
"Run, we can't win this."
Mirror twelve couldn't see that far, but he could sense something, especially when Eternal Night Palace used Divine Sense and Magical Treasures to transmit information, which he intercepted and partially decrypted.
"Twelve thousand people, they really overestimate you. They divided into twelve squads, with Foundation Establishment warriors as the backbone and Qi Refinement fighters that are elite. The teams are also well-trained. You might defeat one squad, but you will definitely get injured or even suffer from Spiritual Energy exhaustion. I could help you replenish your Spiritual Energy continuously, but I'm very vulnerable in this world, and a single sword or blade could deal me a heavy blow. So, it's not worth the risk..."
"That's exactly why I must fight to the death!"
Meng Yu took Mirror Twelve from his waist and threw it to the ground.
"Find somewhere to hide. I'll take out several of their teams."
"Do you have any other trump cards?"
Suddenly, Mirror Twelve asked.
He remembered how Meng Yu, in Qingye Small World, had fought others, often disguising himself and leading the Death Squad to believe he was at the end of his rope. In the end, he turned the tables on them. The Death Squad suffered a defeat.
Mirror Twelve had read the detailed reports and was puzzled about the situation at the time. Meng Yu had been hit several times, and his Spiritual Energy should have been drained. How had he disguised himself? What Magical Treasure did he possess?
"That's a secret I can't tell. But don't worry. If I can't win, I can still run, right?"
"What if you die in battle?"
Mirror Twelve was a bit annoyed, "It would be better for you to take me with you, and then I could wreak havoc far and wide, sweep the Nascent Soul and Golden Core of Eternal Night Palace clean, and you wouldn't have to do anything to win everything."
"I refuse."

Meng Yu smiled, "The glory is to be sought from the sword alone, and that is what makes a true hero. I didn't ask for your help to have you kill indiscriminately while I reap the benefits. On the contrary, I prefer to take things into my own hands."
He wasn't deceiving Mirror Twelve, who thought he could come here and kill to his heart's content and conquer thousands of miles. However, the role Meng Yu assigned to him was akin to a portable grandfather.
Meng Yu didn't lack Cultivation Techniques or Alchemical Elixirs, but he did lack real combat experience. He didn't need Mirror Twelve to kill everyone within thousands of miles; he hoped to improve himself through battle after battle, and to use the one year with Mirror Twelve to obtain a piece of invincible Treasure Armor that would stay close to his body at all times!
"It's very dangerous."
"I'll be fine. In a Second-Order Minor World, a legion, even if it's a few thousand or even tens of thousands strong, can't unite to launch Third-Grade or Fourth-Grade powerful strikes here. To beat me, they'll have to combat me up close just like in Qingye Small World, a fight to the death, and that's exactly what I am best at."
"I could also follow you. I..."
"No need, Senior Mirror. Life and death are decreed by fate, success or failure is in the hands of the heavens. If I lose, then I simply die. What else is there for you to worry about? Goodbye."
The next moment, Meng Yu burst out from his hiding place and headed toward the distance, where one of the squads was located.
The killer king of the Immortal Sect finally revealed his ferocious side.
Meanwhile, twelve hundred people also noticed Meng Yu's presence. The well-trained soldiers first launched various spells and flying arrows!
But Meng Yu suddenly had two shields in his hands, and also deployed the Xuanwu Shield among other Defensive Magical Equipment.
During the previous battle in the Minor World, he had seized many items. Most of them were not suitable for other warriors, but a knight does not perish by bare hands. As the Weapon Master of Immortal Sect, in the Qingye Small World, through countless battles, he used not only swords but also all kinds of weapons!
Now, he was about to show everyone what being all-around really means!
The shield blocked attack after attack, and various talismans were thrown out in equal measure. Three layers of gold-threaded soft armor, plus a full set of armor, fended off the flying arrows, and his body charged into the enemy ranks!
Two longswords materialized in his hands, one of fire, the other of water. With water and fire blending, people shattered, armor splintered!
Then two more longswords appeared, one of earth, the other of wind. With earth and wind intermingling, a sandstorm swept through!
In an instant, he had broken through.
The enemy's reaction was incredibly fast; the Foundation Establishment cultivators formed a Formation, the Qi Refinement Practitioners were fearless in the face of death. However, if being fearless and well-trained was effective, Meng Yu would have already died in the Qingye Small World!
That time, it was five hundred well-trained warriors of Qi Refinement's Ninth Layer, against him, who had not yet reached the Perfection of the Qi Refinement's Ninth Layer!
Five hundred elites, those were Immortal Sect-trained, bona fide killing machines. Did the ones before him even have the right to challenge?
One by one, his longswords were expended, but he still had hundreds more in his storage bag. He slashed through the enemies' bodies, not even needing to retrieve his weapons; he simply grabbed the enemy's willow-leaf swords mid-air and counterattacked!
Are one thousand two hundred people a lot?
There were less than one hundred and fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators among them!
Back then, in Qingye Small World, Meng Yu had faced over two hundred opponents, all of whom had higher cultivation than him!
Someone finally landed a sword strike on Meng Yu, but before they could react, they realized Meng Yu was slippery like a fish. With a twist and a turn, not even a slight wound was left on him, yet he had killed them with a counter strike!
"Stained Garment Eighteen Falls." Meng Yu didn't stop cultivating even after achieving Foundation Establishment, especially during his time in the Moon-Watching Sect, he would ask the Golden Core cultivators to spar with him for practice!
Suddenly, his back hurt three times; that was a flying sword finally breaking through Meng Yu's defense. Yet, what could a Second-Order weapon achieve against him, a one-hit kill? Or to put it another way, under the protection of armor coupled with three layers of soft armor, it was merely a superficial wound. Meng Yu had intentionally taken the hit so that he could get closer to the enemy and then kill them!
His longsword danced continuously in his hand, creating circles of light that bloomed like flowers. The enemy's Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement Practitioners, never an individual match for him, and from his exchange with eight Nascent Soul Cultivators, Meng Yu's once-blunt sword was now incredibly sharp!
Now, he didn't need any grand ultimate technique; the contest was one of basic skill, defense, and combat techniques!
The enemy roared, charging at Meng Yu with the determination to die. They must have thought, even if they couldn't win, they could deplete Meng Yu's spiritual energy and so on.
Haha, haha.
Flesh and blood flew, blood flowed like rivers!
After half an hour of battle, only a little over a hundred of the enemy remained. Yet, they didn't turn to flee; instead, they kept their distance, continually shooting at Meng Yu with spells and longbows, denying him the chance to rest and meditate.
Hmm, there must be high-stage cultivators watching from even higher above. But could this really be effective?
Just now, Meng Yu had chased these people for dozens of miles. Now, he stood on the ground, yawning with boredom, but unbeknownst to anyone, the hidden Mirror Twelve had arrived.
He had refrained from letting Mirror Twelve join in battle, fearing someone might harm him with a sword or blade. But as the fight concluded and victory was assured, his Divine Sense communicated that he was hiding in a small pit. Meng Yu made his way there and stepped on it.
Mirror Twelve was only restricted from using Second-Order and above cultivation techniques and spiritual energy, but that did not mean his pure Great Solar True Fire and spiritual energy weren't beneficial to Meng Yu.
This was a healing elixir even better than Superior Spirit Stones, with the spiritual energy of a Nascent Soul Cultivator replenishing Meng Yu's depletion!
Meng Yu stood quietly in place, donning a new set of soft armor and armor. He even started to arrange a Formation using the captured Array Plates and such.
Last time it was an encounter battle, but this time, it was a contest for position. Here he would wait for the enemy's arrival.
