Chapter 248
The nine black robed men were standing in a protective circle around Bai Xing. Their bodies glowed as they beat the attacking beasts backwards.
The pale green light continued to flicker on their foreheads.
Based on their Supernatural cultivation state, they would easily defeat any of the beasts.
However, a swarm of beasts was a different story. They were limited by their limbs and speed.
There were too many beasts in the throne room. There were over 1000 Blue Fire Wolves alone. Including the Steel Limb Golden Apes, Tri-horn White Rhinoceroses, and Torrential Thunder Lions, there were over 4000 beasts.
Xing Yuanguo's motive was to find the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet. Cang Ling Mountain was part of the Great Xia Dynasty's territory. Even though it was dangerous, the Red Pinion Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army should have been sufficient. Furthermore, they had reinforcements from the the five northern constabularies.
He had left the capital in a hurry and only brought two Supernatural State deputies with him.
As such, he commanded the Red Pinion Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army to avoid clas.h.i.+ng with the beasts. He made them rush Bai Xing and the nine black robed men.
This way, they could press the nine black robed men hard.
They all looked hard pressed to fend off the attacks.
They had to battle over 4000 beasts and 2000 elite soldiers from the Red Pinion Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army. The tide of the battle had s.h.i.+fted.
”Domain Chief!” One of the black robed men looked at Bai Xing anxiously.
”I really never expected that master's efforts to set up such a flawless trap would be... would be destroyed by a small little Fang Zhengzhi!” Bai Xing was unwilling to give up.
”Domain Chief sir, you cannot hesitate any longer. If our deaths can destroy the Stabilisation Constabulary, we would die a hundred times over!”
”Yes, we would!”
”Domain Chief sir, you cannot let the Stabilisation Constabulary out of The Vast World. Else, the grand plan of the demon race would be destroyed!”
Each of the black robed males pleaded with Bai Xing as they struggled to repel the attacks. Their expressions were determined.
”Okay then, begin!” Bai Xing grit his teeth as he retrieved a silver colored longsword, his red demon eye s.h.i.+ning brightly.
At this point, all nine of the males looked relieved.
”Hum!”
A weird sound rang out.
Then, the entire throne room began to shake. Black crack lines appeared in the air, almost like a spider web. It looked like the s.p.a.ce itself was being torn apart...
”F*ck, I think I guessed wrong!” Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out, a wave of awe rising in his heart.
”You guessed wrong?” Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi in confusion.
”It's over, it's over... we are so dead!” Fang Zhengzhi was worried.
”What's going on?” Ping Yang was getting worried as well.
”Why is everyone so set in their ways? Why must everyone die together? This way, no one will get out!” Fang Zhengzhi ignored Ping Yang and continued lamenting.
”Oh I see!” Chi Guyan finally understood what was going on.
Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan. She was lost, but she heard Fang Zhengzhi say 'die together'.
She did not like that phrase... no one in this world would like that phrase.
When Xing Yuanguo saw this scene unfold before his eyes, his phoenix like eyes also flashed with awe.
”I understand now!”
”It's a pity you understood too late!” Bai Xing's voice rang out. He was protected by the nine black robed men, his sword lowered towards Xing Yuanguo. His voice was calm.
”I have never been afraid of death. I am glad to be accompanied by the domain chief of the demon Star Domain!” Xing Yuanguo was calm.
”Hahaha... let's have ourselves a great battle today!” Bai Xing's blades moved as he entered the stars.
The nine men guarding Bai Xing saw his actions. However, they did not stop him. The stage was set - everyone in The Vast World would die.
Demons, humans, and beasts alike.
They were all condemned to death!
”Woos.h.!.+” A silver ray of light shot through the air. It pierced through the foreheads of three beasts and a stream of blood flowed from the open wound.
Then, the three beasts fell to the ground, dead.
Bai Xing stepped firmly on the body of one of the fallen beasts.
He held the blade in his right hand as he stepped on the beast with his left foot. He raised his head slightly, his att.i.tude arrogant as his eyes glistened like lightning bolts.
He did not speak, wielding the sword in his hand as he looked at the beasts around him.
However, in that moment, the world became immensely quiet. No one knew if it was because Bai Xing was too quick, or because he was too powerful. All of the beasts stopped moving.
There was a strange moment of quiet in the throne room.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
”Boom!”
At this point, a loud explosion rang out in everyone's ears.
Then, there were more than 2000 black robed masked men in the throne room. Each one of them held a long spear, just like those that the Red Pinion Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army wielded.
However, their faces were all covered. One could not even see their eyes. It was almost as if they were mummified.
When the Red Pinion Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army saw this, they all stopped moving.
They knew what the black robed masked men represented. Death, absolute death, no chance at life.
Whether they chose to battle or not.
There was only one end, death!
Xing Yuanguo's gaze scanned the 2000 masked black robed men, his eyes filling with rage. These were the men who had ma.s.sacred the Red Pinion Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army aboveground.
Of the remaining 2000 members of both armies, almost 500 of them were severely injured.
This was the worst losses Xing Yuanguo's had suffered to date, and his most painful loss.
And now...
He knew that the remaining 2000 soldiers in the throne room would not live. However, he could not stand idly by and watch the elite soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty die.
”They're finally here! I'm sure you recognize these things!”
”Yes!” The 2000 soldiers replied in unison.
