Chapter 459: Descent of the Diety Warriors
Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant
The 325 Deity experts still fighting in the range of mountains looked upward all at once, toward the thirty dazzling streams of bloody light descending upon various locations in the mountain range.
“The Deity warriors are descending!”
“It’s the Deity warriors!”
“Quickly now; this is our final chance. We have to snatch one.” At that moment, every last Deity expert was in a mad rush toward the stream closest to them. Even the seven grade one Deity Heart experts tried their best to get a Deity warrior. Xue Ying immediately entered the Mirage to chase the nearest one.
The Bloodshed God Palace Battle was split into two distinct parts. The first marked the time before the descent of the Deity warriors and was also known as the early phase! The second phase started once the Deity warriors descended and was known as the late phase!
“All thirty of those Bloody Slaughter Deity warriors descended where the lowest ranked participants are.” The White Sand City Lord looked up, sighing. “Teacher truly tries very hard to give even them a chance to struggle.”
“What’s this about him trying hard? Isn’t he just trying to make the battle more interesting and its final outcome harder to predict?” King Rong Hai laughed to the side. “Old Brother White Sand, I can see that you’re boasting about every tiny thing His Majesty does, but that doesn’t mean he’ll let you go back to his side.”
The White Sand City Lord took on a solemn tone as he said, “I would naturally want to get back my status as a disciple under His Majesty, but I’ve committed a grave mistake. I am already truly happy and thankful that teacher let me go with my life! Furthermore, I was not even boasting. Considering teacher’s combat power, he should see no need in letting those Deities get a last struggle, but he had still convened this grand feast just to give these brats a chance at soaring to the skies, even giving them a chance to enjoy a Myriad Flower True Fruit. If this isn’t charity, then what is?”
“Alright, alright.”
“Let’s not speak of that anymore.”
Marshal Qin and the others kept their mouths shut after that. They knew that the White Sand City Lord would absolutely not speak bad about anything His Majesty ever did. He’d always been looking for a way to return back to His Majesty’s side, but after he was chased away once, would the decision of his exile be so easily changed?
“That Bloody Slaughter Deity warrior landed too far from Dong Bo. He might not manage snatching it.” The Xia Clan Deities and Jing Qiu were nervously watching the battle.
“In all the previous Bloodshed God Palace Battles, the Bloody Slaughter Deity warriors would always land near the weaker Deity experts,” the Purple Thunder Emperor explained. “They’ve also been personally refined by His Majesty, so they are, without doubt, extraordinary in power. Any participant of this battle, even the Deities with grade one Deity Hearts, will perish from the slightest scratch inflicted by these weapons.”
“These Deity warriors can raise one’s combat power to a whole new level.”
The Bloody Slaughter Deity warrior… Xue Ying had done his best to arrive as soon as possible, but he had started out too far away. A full fifteen people that were closer than him had also rushed over as fast as they could, and it was not long before they arrived at a certain towering mountain. Xue Ying could do nothing but watch wide-eyed as a black-armored man grabbed a blood-colored circular stone located halfway through the mountain.
The very moment he grabbed it, the stone rapidly transformed, taking on the shape of a long, bloody saber.
“Hahaha…” The black-armored man holding the blood-colored saber was in an exuberant at mood. “I’ve got one! I might be ranked lower than 500th at the moment, but with this Deity warrior, I might even get into the top hundred.”
The man swept surveyed his surroundings to see five other Deities begin to decelerate.
“Congratulations.”
“Who could’ve known you’d be faster than us by a single step.”
“Let’s go.” Those five Deity experts turned around and left. As members of the same team this black-armored man was a part of, they had set down oaths to not hurt fellow teammates. Without such an oath, would they have had any peace of mind as teammates? Now that the black-armored man snatched the Bloody Slaughter Deity warrior, they naturally chose to leave.
“Kill.”
“Surround and kill him.”
“Grab that Deity warrior.” While those five Deities had turned to leave, the others were still rushing over snatch the weapon away from the man.
The black-armored man simply sneered. “If you’re not afraid of death, then come!” With a single step, he teleported away, even going past the boundary of that towering mountain. Another step left him at the side of a venomous bug. His saber only flashed once, and the hard shell of that violet-armored bug was cut through without any sign of resistance, leaving behind a gash. The black-armored man stepped backward, watching the violet-shelled bug struggle in mid-air before finally falling back to the earth.
One move had been enough to kill a violet-shelled bug!
There was nobody who would dare confront someone who held a Bloody Slaughter Deity warrior in straight-up combat. Their body touching that weapon directly meant instant death!
