Chapter 451: No Place For False Warriors (1/2)

And as the smoke cleared out, Kong Zhi stood up, looking at his warhammer. Despite using all six of his arms and being in his Vajra Form, he was brought down by a single strike. The shaft of his weapon was not broken but it was bent to the point that it was irreparable.

He gave it one look before spitting at the ground and tossing it aside.

”Get me my armor, Shi Hou.”

He commanded that of the Roaring King, who brought it before the Vajra Demon. Kong Zhi then began to dress himself, donning each piece of the armor. It was different from anything he'd ever worn. This was because it consists of only six parts, each part for each arm.*

”This is not borrowed power or fake strength. I obtained these in the same way you obtained that weapon of yours, through strength and conviction.”

His voice was calm but loud enough for Du Xiu to hear and he turned to look at the commander. There was a quiet lull now as the embers of the flames slowly died down. As effective as the surprise attack was, it did not last long.

Kong Zhi bumped his fists together before pointing at the commander.

”Now that you aren't hiding behind those walls, let's see if the battle will end the same way as before”, he mocked.

Du Xiu brandished his halberd axe just as his aura began to seep out. Although his weapon was jet black, it began to shine with a brilliant red as intense heat came from his body. Everyone by his side followed, circulating their power.

Ling Xue and those of the Yao Clan activated their bloodlines, revealing a crimson aura as the markings on their bodies started to glow. The air grew heavy, extremely heavy. It was to the point where an ordinary person would faint in seconds under this pressure.

It was tense, constricting, horrifying.

And just when no one moved, Du Xiu struck first.

”Sunburst.”

With a thought, a ball of fire appeared above him, growing and growing in size and intensity until it resembled a small sun. With his other hand, he pointed down at Kong Zhi and this miniature sun came following.

But the demon didn't bother avoiding it. Instead, he cracked his knuckled before holding out all six of his arms. His gray stone-like skin seemed to smoke under the heat as his hands sizzled while grasping the attack.

”Grraaahhhhhh!”

Stopping it in his tracks, his hold began to tighten around the small sun, crushing it under his grip. This time, his aura was absolutely rising, becoming a solid hue of white and gold. His arms trembled under the weight of this small sun, shouting out loud as he made it smaller and smaller.

But this was war, no one was going to wait for him, certainly not Du Xiu.

As the sun slowly condensed under the strength of the Vajra Demon, the commander stepped forward, outstretching his arm and thrusting the shining halberd into the sun, causing it to explode. Flame erupted right in front of Kong Zhi, spreading to the other demons.

”Quick! Douse the flames!”

Both Huo Shen and Ao Shuang commanded their clans just as the Du Xiu shouted.

”Leave no one alive! Destroy them all!”

Everyone on their side shouted before charging forward. The Yao Clan charged with them, sprinting forward with Ling Xus leading them. The blood-red aura of theirs grew into an even deeper crimson as she placed the flute to her mouth.

”Breakthrough and force them back! We will kill the Mu Clan!”

Pulling his halberd axe out of the flames, he charged forward with another thrust and into Kong Zhi. But the demon wasn't dealt with so easily, he grabbed the halberd by the tip with four of his hands before. Although the fire continued to burn through his skin, the demon took a step forward before being launched back.

Du Xiu didn't say a word as he lunged forward, driving Kong Zhi back and forcing his way into the depths of the demon's army.
