Chapter 256
That Favored’s hatchet brought with it a terrifying gale as it slashed down viciously on Wilde .
BOOM!
Wilde’s spiked club slammed into the huge hatchet . Wilde hadn’t expected that Favored to have used some sort of secret technique to multiply his strength .
A huge force pushed him back a dozen steps . With each step, the ground beneath him trembled . The ground seemed to have become liquid, with waves of dirt spreading out .
After being forced back a dozen steps, he then even lost his center of gravity, tumbling back even further before finally stabilizing .
Long Chen was shocked . This Corrupt Favored was incredibly powerful . He was actually able to suppress Wilde in terms of power .
“I’ll let you taste one of my attacks!”
Wilde stood up and suddenly shouted, his voice like thunder shaking the heavens . A strange red color appeared over his body .
Long Chen was truly shocked now . He had scene that situation occur once before . This had happened to Wilde back in the Heroic a.s.sembly House back in Phoenix Cry .
At that time, Long Chen had been sent flying by Huang Chang, while Wilde hadn’t even begun cultivating . And yet, when that red color had appeared over his body, he had been able to block one of Huang Chang’s attacks .
Now that the red light once more surfaced on his body, Wilde’s body erupted with a terrifying aura . It was as if there was an ancient monster inside his body that had opened up its eyes .
With each step forward, Wilde caused the ground to quiver, appearing incredibly intimidating with his giant form .
Wilde roared, his arms covered in green veins . In fact, it was possible to see the blood flowing under his skin .
He swung his club, causing heaven and earth to shake . That Corrupt Favored was horrified . He felt as if he wasn’t facing a human, but a demon G.o.d, a bloodthirsty demon G.o.d .
The instant Wilde attacked, he was completely locked down by a terrifying force . He was filled with horror, and he didn’t even have the will to resist .
He viciously bit down on his tongue . He was extremely ruthless, biting off a portion of his tongue, using the pain to awaken himself from his terror .
If he let his terror extend to his heart, he wouldn’t be able to fight back at all .
He roared, smas.h.i.+ng his huge hatchet onto Wilde’s club .
BOOOM!
It was like a bomb had gone off . The ground exploded to dust, and a huge wave of earth spread in every direction .
That Corrupt Favored’s arms turned numb, and he was sent flying back, tumbling across the ground . When he got up, his hands were completely covered in blood and the webbing between his thumb and forefinger and been split apart .
“You didn’t die? Come again!”
Wilde roared and once more swung his club at him .
That Favored was completely shocked . He had never imagined that even after using his secret technique, he would still lose in terms of power .
He finally realized a fact: he was not a match for Wilde in terms of brute power . If he once more faced him head-on, he would definitely end up suffering .
He was a brute power kind of expert, and wasn’t used to using skillful techniques . He could only continue facing off against him . However, now he focused purely on defense . He no longer tried to forcibly attack .
Although he was focused on defense and conserving his strength, lessening the impacts of Wilde’s blows, he had given up the initiative and superior ground to Wilde . Now under Wilde’s crazy blows, he was forced back miserably time and time again .
The Corrupt Elders that were watching were stunned . That Favored had been forced into a disadvantage this quickly . In fact, he was essentially defeated, only relying on delaying tactics to hold out until the battle was over .
“Tu Fang, you old fox, how dare you play such a trick against me! Just you wait!” Gui Yan was grinding his teeth . He thought Tu Fang had just made his side appear weaker in order to bait him . In his imagination, this wasn’t supposed to have been a battle, but a one-sided ma.s.sacre .
They had had twenty-seven thousand disciples, which was almost five times the Righteous path . Normally the Righteous path’s disciples were at least double theirs, and they only barely managed to eke out a draw .
Furthermore, they had gained five peak geniuses who were all Favored . And Yin Luo was a genius amongst Favored, someone rare for them to find even once in a thousand years .
With that kind of numbers and power, Gui Yan had just thought this would be a game to kill them . However, it had now developed to this point .
Before the two armies had even met, half of his army had been exterminated .
Yin Luo had now been tied up with some fellow named Mo Nian who was inconceivably powerful . He had somehow been able to fight against Yin Luo this entire time without entering a disadvantage .
And now two other Favored-level experts had appeared on their enemy’s side . That immediately ruined his plans . Now a trace of unease appeared in Gui Yan’s heart .
“Are you guys idiots? What are you just standing around for? Hurry up and kill them all! First, slaughter that d.a.m.n brat who’s leading them!” raged Gui Yan . In his fury, he no longer cared about capturing Long Chen alive . All he wanted was to exterminate them all .
If more unexpected things popped up, he really wouldn’t have the face to report back after this . Just reporting what had happened so far was enough to warrant him receiving a torrent of curses from his higher-ups .
Hearing Gui Yan’s words, the Corrupt army finally recovered from their shock, doing their best to bring down their opponents .
There were two figures in particular who were rus.h.i.+ng directly for Long Chen . Those two were also Favored who had stood behind Yin Luo .
