Chapter 1708: The Power of the Double Dragons
At some point, a horde of Magical Beasts had appeared . They were charging at Long Chen and the others .
These Magical Beasts were all at the eleventh rank, equivalent to the human Life Star realm . However, their offensive power was many times greater than ordinary Life Star experts’ . Also, those Magical Beasts with ancient bloodlines were in possession of their terrifying divine abilities .
An army of tens of thousands of Magical Beasts had now launched a surprise attack, surrounding the Dragonblood Legion and the Heaven Spitting Battle Sect . With the threat of the Magical Beast army behind them, they were no longer able to block the channel . The Empyrean Winged Blood Devils were concentrated on the two side channels at this moment, and now over ten thousand of them had come through . To force them back and block the channel again was essentially impossible now .
“f.u.c.k, how did these Magical Beasts get here?!” roared Gu Yang .
If this was during normal times, he wouldn’t even care about these Magical Beasts . However, at this critical time, they had come to disrupt their tempo . It was a fatal blow .
“Their souls are being controlled by someone . Someone has gathered them to attack us . ” Meng Qi immediately recognized some clues .
These Magical Beasts were in formation and working together . That wasn’t something normal Magical Beasts did . They had to be controlled by an expert .
Furthermore, they even unleashed suicidal attacks immediately, disregarding their own lives . That was why Meng Qi was sure that this was another plot .
Long Chen’s expression was dark . The first wave of Magical Beasts had already injured some of the Dragonblood warriors . These Magical Beasts were crazy, and some directly detonated themselves .
With the Magical Beasts behind them and the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils in front of them, the Dragonblood Legion’s situation instantly became tense . It wouldn’t be long before casualties started to appear .
“Abandon the channels and retreat!”
Long Chen immediately gave orders to give up on defending . If they forced it, each second would cost lives .
Long Chen was filled with fury inside . This was his first time being schemed against without having the slightest ability to resist . It was infuriating .
The Dragonblood Legion and Heaven Splitting Battle Sect immediately banded together, forming a circular formation to block the attacks that were coming from all sides .
The Magical Beasts were completely crazy . They attacked whoever they saw, including the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils .
As for the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils, they also didn’t care why the Magical Beasts had come . They tore through anything in their way . The entire battlefield was chaotic .
Meng Qi had her eyes closed while surrounded by people . She suddenly opened her eyes . “Long Chen, I’ve found the culprit . ”
“Eliminate him . ”
Long Chen pressed a hand against Meng Qi’s back . His Spiritual Strength poured into her, and through her soul, he saw an elder in a black cloak forming hand seals . That was the person controlling the Magical Beasts .
The elder’s expression suddenly changed . He dispelled his Spiritual Strength, but it was too late .
The elder’s head instantly exploded . His soul, including his Yuan Spirit, was wiped out of existence .
“This blood… It was someone from the Xuan Beasts . ”
Through Meng Qi’s soul, Long Chen saw the scene of the elder’s head exploding . His expression grew uglier .
It was no wonder this person had possessed the ability to control so many Magical Beasts . Perhaps only the Xuan Beasts, the top of the beast races, could do such a thing .
Before this, it had been a sneak attack from Heavenly Fate Island, and now it was another sneak attack from the Xuan Beasts . The Dragonblood Legion was in danger now .
Fortunately, Meng Qi’s soul arts were strong enough to track down this person through the souls of the Magical Beasts he had been controlling . Adding on Long Chen’s a.s.sistance, she had managed to kill him from afar . However, if it hadn’t been for Long Chen’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to kill that fellow .
More and more Empyrean Winged Blood Devils appeared . The Magical Beasts regained their minds the instant that elder was slain, and they immediately fled the battlefield . The Magical Beast army was gone, but there was now a veritable sea of Empyrean Winged Blood Devils around Dragonblood Legion . They were surrounded, and more enemies were coming out of the three channels .
This was a rare chance for the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils, and they were clearly taking advantage of it . Each of them was on the Life Star level, and their power was easily comparable to a rank nine Celestial .
Even the Dragonblood warriors and the elites of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect were having great difficulty defending against them .
“d.a.m.nit, if I had known this would happen, I would have kept the black water for now!” Guo Ran cursed himself . If he had kept some of the black water, perhaps he would have been able to extinguish their current crisis . He was filled with regret . No wonder Long Chen said that he always had to keep a trump card at all times as a life-saving measure . Now Guo Ran could only fight with his two sabers .
