Chapter 1707: Defending the Channel
A group of large men appeared in front of the spatial gate, and they all had huge broadswords . The ones at the front were Bao Buping and Chang Hao . The disciples of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect had come!
“Haha, I thought that you had forgotten about us!” Bao Buping looked at the endless Empyrean Winged Blood Devils charging through the channel .
“Brothers, time to get to work . ” Chang Hao raised his broadsword . A huge sword-image slashed out .
“Split the Heavens 5!”
A thousand disciples of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect followed Chang Hao, raising all their broadswords together . A thousand attacks merged into one giant arc that slashed through the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils .
The Empyrean Winged Blood Devils roared furiously as they resisted, but despite that, this one attack killed the majority of them .
These Empyrean Winged Blood Devils were on the Life Star level, and their wings had bone-like supports growing out of them . Their defensive power was clearly much greater, but even they were unable to resist the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples’ merged attack .
This merged attack even shocked Long Chen . He had never thought of the possibility of Split the Heavens being able to merge . For the power of a thousand people to merge together so perfectly was extremely difficult .
“We just got here and directly ran into some tough bones . ” Bao Buping and Chang Hao were surprised that they hadn’t managed to kill all the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils in the channel . They were very clear on how powerful this merged attack was . Of course, this ability to merge Split the Heavens was one reason the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect had once been the head of the three great sects .
Originally, Bao Buping and Chang Hao had been planning on giving Long Chen a nice surprise by slaughtering them all, but their expected perfect result never appeared .
“Of course, if they weren’t tough, why would I call you? Everyone else, prepare yourselves! a.s.sist the brothers from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect in killing the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils . Make sure no fish slip out of the net!” shouted Long Chen .
At this moment, the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils had recollected themselves and were attempting another charge . The channel wasn’t very long . They could cross it in just a few seconds .
“Split the Heavens 5!”
The first attackers retreated one step, while another one thousand disciples replaced them, unleas.h.i.+ng an identical attack .
BOOM!
This time, the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils were prepared . The ones at the front were killed, but the others behind managed to endure the impact and charge through .
In their defensive states, they were too tough to kill . Half were killed, but half managed to charge through .
“Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Wan-er, Ruyan, Cloud, and Zifeng, attack together . Win us some buffer room,” shouted Long Chen .
Following his orders, the six of them attacked at the same time . Six long-range attacks exploded through the spatial channel . Those Empyrean Winged Blood Devils were instantly killed, with no one managing to survive .
This made Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s expressions twitch . A thousand of them hadn’t been as powerful as the six of them . That was too embarra.s.sing .
“What are you lazy fellows doing? Summon your manifestations! Are you holding back your spiritual yuan until you have kids?!” shouted Bao Buping .
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples roared and summoned their manifestations . These three thousand disciples were all rank nine Celestials .
These three thousand disciples were the elites of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect . The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect hadn’t had that many disciples originally, but now that the world’s karmic luck was changing, the old man had spent all that karmic luck on these three thousand disciples . The power of these three thousand elites was truly terrifying .
Originally, Bao Buping and Chang Hao had been planning on going into the Devil Abyss with Long Chen, but after Long Chen had learned how powerful these disciples were, he had decided to keep them back as a trump card . Hence, he had Zheng Wenlong send him a long-distance transportation formation disc .
Long Chen had made Bao Buping and Chang Hao wait on standby as a killer trump card . He had predicted that there was a high chance of him being sneak attacked during this battle .
After all, there were plenty of channels within the Devil Abyss that led to all the large sects . Anyone could go through any of them to sneak attack the Dragonblood Legion .
That was why Long Chen had arranged warning indicators around the area they had been defending in the Devil Abyss . As long as a large number of experts got close to them, he would immediately be alerted of it .
He had thought that the sneak attackers would be from the Corrupt path, the ancient races, or the Xuan Beasts . However, it had ended up being Heavenly Fate Island .
If experts from Heavenly Fate Island wanted to sneak attack him, then those preparations he had made would be useless .
As a result, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples had come into play .
When they unleashed their full power, their killing prowess exploded . The three thousand disciples divided into three waves, cycling their attacks . At the same time, Meng Qi and the others were a.s.sisting . All of them forcibly blocked the channel .
“This is not a solution . Although we’re only using the fifth form of Split the Heavens, it’s still using up too much energy . It’s only a matter of time until we’re out of energy . ”
After an incense stick’s worth of time, each of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples had used the fifth form of Split the Heavens over ten times . The exhaustion was starting to grow .
