Chapter 1690: Four-Armed Devil Creatures
Day after day pa.s.sed. Other than Xia Chen whose position was unshakable, the top ten on the Devil Slaughter Rankings constantly changed. Chu Yao’s name hovered between ninth and thirteenth. It could be seen how intense the fight for the top ten was.
As time pa.s.sed, more devil creatures appeared, and they only grew stronger. The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples clenched their teeth and bitterly fought. In a month, they had lost twenty-three thousand people.
By this time, the devil creatures had grown strong enough to threaten even their strongest members. Furthermore, more and more varieties of them appeared, some with strange fighting methods. Each time new varieties appeared, it would catch a few people off guard. The majority of those who died were sacrificed during those times.
Some managed to escape with their Yuan Spirits once their physical bodies were destroyed. Long Chen ordered those disciples to immediately return to the Xuantian Dao Sect.
However, some disciples refused to leave even after being reduced to their Yuan Spirits. They continued to fight to the death. Seeing the companions fall one by one filled them with hatred, and they swore to avenge their fallen companions.
The battlefield was the easiest place to form emotional ties with your comrades, especially when you saw them die. The emotions people hid inside them would instantly erupt, and their own lives wouldn’t even feel that important anymore.
However, they only had their Yuan Spirits left, and they weren’t Empyreans, so their Yuan Spirits weren’t very powerful. Staying here was suicide.
Long Chen had Meng Qi forcibly send those people away. Having undergone the baptism of blood and fire, they had completely transformed into true warriors. As long as they didn’t die, they would become pillars of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
After a month of life and death battle, they had taken the first step. Even though they had lost their bodies, that wasn’t too bad. Each sect had secret arts that allowed experts to recreate a physical body.
It was simply that those bodies wouldn’t suit them as well as their original bodies. However, as long as you had money and were willing to spend it, then it was a different matter. In this world, there were very few things that money couldn’t solve. Otherwise, Pill Valley wouldn’t be glaring at the Huayun Sect all the time while being helpless to do anything to them. The Huayun Sect’s att.i.tude was always one of competing with whoever had the most money.
For the people that had lost their physical bodies, the Xuantian Dao Sect would be willing to spend a fortune to create a new physical body for them, one that definitely wouldn’t be inferior to their old body. In fact, this new body might even be a bit better and wouldn’t affect their talent.
Suddenly, faint cracks appeared in the s.p.a.ce ahead. It was like gla.s.s that was finally starting to break under immense pressure.
“Dragonblood Legion, prepare to move out. The real battle’s starting. You’re the main characters of this battle, so make sure you warm up and let our brothers learn what a real battle is!” shouted Long Chen.
This place was one where the Martial Heaven Continent’s s.p.a.ce mixed with another world. For s.p.a.ce to be torn apart like this, the spatial pressure had to have increased. In other words, even stronger devil creatures were about to appear.
“Hahaha, it’s finally my turn! My blade has long since grown thirsty for blood!” laughed Guo Ran heroically.
BOOM!
s.p.a.ce exploded, and the channel where the devil creatures were coming from grew by several times. A black flood poured out of it.
That was a sea of countless large creatures. When they saw those devil creatures, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples’ expressions changed completely.
These devil creatures actually looked humanoid. They were ten meters tall with four arms that were bulging with muscles. They looked like iron, as if their bodies possessed so much power that it was exploding out of them.
This was clearly a power-type devil creature. Each of them possessed a frightening aura. When it came to power, they definitely weren’t weaker than them. Now, they were charging out like a flood, and that sight sparked despair.
Just as that despair was sparked, Guo Ran charged forward in his golden armor. A pair of golden wings appeared on his back, and he had golden sabers. He shot out like a shooting star toward them, and a metallic voice rang out.
“The one who swept the four seas, crossed a thousand mountains, caused huge billows in heaven and earth, the one whose invincible dual sabers slaughters devils and demons, Guo Ran, is here!”
A golden light smashed through the army of four-armed devil creatures.
Guo Ran’s dual sabers and wings flashed with divine light that transformed into four sharp saber-images. Each was dozens of miles long and cut right through them.
Any devil creatures touched by his saber-images were torn apart. The entire sea of devil creatures was split by him.
“Kill!”
Following Guo Ran, the Dragonblood warriors who had been thirsting for battle also charged out, pouncing on their enemies like wolves. Over ten thousand Dragonblood warriors advanced. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
These Dragonblood warriors advanced in a straight line formation, using this weak formation to directly crush their opponents. Not only did they stop their opponents, but they pushed them back as well.
Before the battle, Long Chen had arranged for multiple battle lines and had the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples guard their own sections.
