Divine Talent Born Mortal

Chapter 185: Sword Sect 9

As soon as the Sword Sect sect finished preparations for the war elder Du decided that they would head towards the border rather than wait for the Western Sea Sect to start advancing first.

Elder Du hoped that Sword Sect would take advantage of the disciples' higher morale and anger to strike first and thus gain advantage in the war, and with Elder Du Sword Sect had an advantage until Western Sea Sect reinforcements arrived, so Elder Du gave a short speech to cheer on the members of the Sword Sect before this war.

"Our sect is now leaving to take part in a war, it was a war that our sect did not want and was provoked by our enemies, our sect even being one of the strongest of the divine plane never abused our power and always sought order and peace."

"But this time several deacons and disciples of our sect were killed on the border of our territory by the Western Sea Sect as our sect prepared to make another tournament that is so important to many of our disciples."

"Every year Western Sea Sect seeks to disrupt our sect when the time comes for our tournament, it was just a strategy to take our territory and attack us by surprise when we were careless."

"Luckily our sect was able to find out the situation in time and so we didn't lose much from this invasion beyond the lives of our sect members, let's use this war to avenge our brothers and prove why Sword Sect is one of the divine plane's strongest sects and should never be provoked."

After a short speech the whole sect moved toward the border under the leadership of elder Du, Zhang Yi was together with Du Chen and Li Tang advancing along with the other disciples, Zhang Yi's group had done several important missions in the past months and was highly respected among the other disciples.

Before going to this war Elder Du spoke with Zhang Yi about what he was going to do in this war, Elder Du wanted Zhang Yi to reveal his full strength and fight against the deacons of the Western Sea Sect soul refinement realm, but Zhang Yi declined and said he had done enough even before the war began.

Since Zhang Yi had a special status in the Sword Sect and had really done a lot for the sect even before the war began, Elder Du didn't insist on it anymore, if it was really necessary Zhang Yi could reveal his strength and fight the realm warriors of the refinement of the soul of the adversary sect.

But Zhang Yi already knew that none of this would be necessary, he didn't need anybody's recognition in the sect and so would not change his mind during the fight and fight along with his friends Du Chen and Li Tang to make sure they were safe.

After walking for more than a month, Elder Du said they had finally arrived at the place where the war would take place, the sect took longer because they had many people, but the weaker sect's disciples were not tired of this trip and were ready to go the war.

The place where Elder Du stopped was far from where the sect's territory boundary was, but it was where Sword Sect could stop Western Sea Sect before enemies invaded the cities where the sect's territory was located.

By the location of the map, this was a place that Western Sea Sect would have to pass if it wanted to invade Sword Sect, so it was the perfect place for war, in fact, Elder Du didn't expect them to be able to get to this place before meeting with the Western Sea Sect.

But Zhang Yi knew this happened because he created so many obstacles with the earth element and wood element laws that it would take time for the Western Sea Sect to break even with the force of all the deacons in the sect.

If it were just to get through the obstacles the Western Sea Sect sect could, but they had to bring several things to this war that was not possible without them getting rid of those obstacles.

The Sword Sect disciples and deacons still had time to rest and recover from the trip before Zhang Yi sensed with his mental energy the Western Sea Sect heading toward where they were.

So Zhang Yi warned elder Du of the situation that he was surprised that he had not sensed his enemies before Zhang Yi even though they were in the void realm, but Elder Du trusted Zhang Yi and then ordered Sword Sect to prepare for war.

Complete warfare between sects was very difficult to happen, usually, small disputes happened as Zhang Yi saw between Golden Wolf Sect and Cherry Sect who had people to supervise from another sect.

But in this case, it was a dispute between sects that divided a border and so only a total war was the answer to a dispute, fortunately as the territory was large and had a lot of spiritual energy the ground would not be completely destroyed in the war.

As soon as Elder Du felt with his divine sense Western Sea Sect he began the attack by going along with the deacons and disciples who were in the realm of soul refinement, Western Sea Sect did not expect Sword Sect to be in that place anymore and reacted more slowly to this attack.

Zhang Yi and the other disciples were right behind the sect deacons to support, after all even though they were stronger than the disciples, if thousands of attacks on the soul-birth realm disciples hit Sword Sect deacons they would be severely injured.

Zhang Yi could not use his best techniques as the sacred domain nor his spear, so he could use only part of the laws he understood with the spirit rank sword and some of his disguised techniques.

Zhang Yi was fast and lethal, he took full advantage of his movement techniques and whenever he moved between enemies a Western Sea Sect disciple was killed, Du Chen and Li Tang also performed well in this war and always stayed near where Zhang Yi was.

The Western Sea Sect deacons and also the Sword Sect deacons were impressed by Zhang Yi's performance, he even looked like someone from the emptiness realm fighting the soul-birth realm warriors.

Even so, Western Sea Sect could not send anyone to attack Zhang Yi because Sword Sect deacons would prevent it when someone from the Western Sea Sect soul refinement realm could approach Zhang Yi, he would just flee.

No one could call him a coward for doing this because even though he was so strong he was only level one of the soul birth realm, it was the Western Sea Sect deacons who should be ashamed to attack Zhang Yi.
