Translator: 549690339
In regard to this, Lu Yongsheng was not surprised. Over the span of just a few days, he had faced off against this opponent no less than ten times. He was well aware of the strength of the Six-Tusked Black Elephant’s physique.
Of course, Lu Yongsheng was already at the peak of the Golden Body Realm, so his physical strength didn’t fall too far behind that of his adversary.
A man and a beast clashed wildly, soon carving out a separate battlefield between them.
“General Chen, General Yang, of the remaining three Sixth-Rank Demon Beasts, each of us will engage one. The rest of the commanders and generals will lead their forces to fend off the Demon Beast army!” Huang Sheng bellowed, immediately charging towards a beast of massive stature.
Chen Sheng and Yang Yuan, two assistant generals from the Great Wilderness Major City, were both masters of the Golden Body Realm. They leaped into the fray like two burning suns. Their bodies emanated dazzling luminescence as they met the sublimely horrific Demon Beasts head on.
As they leaped into the fray, swinging their swords, the power they displayed set off a storm of blood in the midst of the Demon Beast army. This relentless carnage continued until they were finally stopped by two powerful Sixth-Rank Demonic Beasts.
“Arrows!
The readied heavy crossbowmen all shot in unison, their arrows soaring into the Demon Beast army like a violent rainstorm. The lower ranked beasts could not withstand this barrage, and were pierced straight through.
Still, the Demon Beast army was staggeringly large, rendering the damage dealt by the heavy crossbows relatively insignificant.
As the Demon Beast army drew alarmingly close to the city, one black-armored general yelled, “All soldiers, follow me into Demon Slaying!”
As the words fell, he charged out in the lead.
The many assistant generals and commanders roared loudly, their bodies rippling with powerful True Origin fluctuations. From atop the city walls, they jumped down and charged into the fray.
“Kill!” The Black Tiger Army, entirely prepared, surged forward.
While the city walls were tall and majestic, they could surely not withstand the onslaught of the Demon Beast army. They simply could not allow the enemy to come any closer.
Lu Yun and the other martial artists were also aware of this, so they charged out alongside the Black Tiger Army.
“Brother Lu, why don’t we compete again and see who ends up accruing the most points?” Despite the overwhelming Demon Beast army, Liang Shaowen was still high-spirited. He turned to Lu Yun and suggested with a faint smile.
Even though he knew he might not be able to match Lu Yun’s power, his fighting spirit remained fiery.
“A competition? Isn’t that unnecessary?” Lu Yun reminded him, “Brother Liang, we should be more careful on a battlefield of this scale.”
After saying this, Lu Yun quickly dashed towards the Demon Beast army.
“He’s right. If you are not careful on this intense battlefield, you may end up dying without even knowing how.”
Another middle-aged Transforming Origin Realm martial artist glanced at Liang Shaowen, and said evenly, “Recently, even powerful Origin Fluid Realm experts have fallen. Our strength is far from theirs. If we’re not careful, and a powerful beast sets its sights on us, or we are surrounded by beasts, we are sure to die.”
At his words, Liang Shaowen’s smile slightly faded, and he responded courteously, “Thank you for reminding me. I seem to have indeed gotten carried away.”
Of course, he knew this. But when with Lu Yun, he couldn’t help but want to compete, to see how far behind he was.
However, this sentiment was something he didn’t feel at liberty to share with outsiders.
“Haha, kill these humans.”
Upon seeing the Black Tiger Army and martial artists leap from the city wall, a giant Fifth-Rank Demon Beast, towering sixty or seventy feet tall, spoke human language and charged at them.
“Kill!”
Endless Demon Beasts surged forward like unstoppable rapids. Heavy crossbowmen launched arrows from the city wall, and the densely packed Black Tiger Army and martial artists charged out.
In what felt like an instant, the first true melee had erupted.
Not much longer, and the battlefield quickly expanded, like an enormous geyser gushed up from the heart of a lake, causing terrifying waves to spread at an extremely rapid pace in all directions.
Chaos, chaos, utter chaos.
Two or three beasts would gang up to attack a single Black Tiger soldier.
A number of Black Tiger soldiers would reciprocally gang up on a single beast.
On this vast battlefield, there was simply no room for one-on-one combat.
What existed was only a crushing tide of carnage.
While engaging a beast in heated combat, at any moment another beast – or two – might pounce from other directions.
This is why on a chaotic battlefield like this, placing all your focus on fighting secures but one fate – death.
“Kill!” With a glowering, icy look on his face, Commander Xu led the Black Tiger Army, Lu Yun, and other martial artists, and soon carved out another battlefield, charging ahead.
He was a mid-term expert in the Origin Fluid Realm, clad in black armor, wielding a black lance. His movements were powerful, and when he approached a Fourth-Rank beast, he thrust his lance hard towards it.
With a ‘whoosh’, the Fourth-Rank beast had its skull pierced through by his lance, dying on the spot.
“Humans seeking death!”
A huge Demon Beast transformed into a colossal black shadow and lunged forward.
It was a Mid-stage Fifth Rank Demon Beast, the Mighty Wild Bull.
With a loud boom, the thick hooves collided with Commander Xu’s long spear, triggering a wave of terrifying windstorms.
“Beast, die!”
Commander Xu roared angrily and swung his black spear, its radiance rippling like waves. The heavy, black demon energy was scattered off by the spear thrust that contained a terrifying power.
Bang!
Once again, it was blocked by the Mighty Wild Bull.
Seeing the strongest Fifth Rank Demon Beast engaging in a fierce battle with Commander Xu, the rest of the Black Tiger Army and Martial Artists began to make their move.
“Snow Dragon Song!”
Liang Shaowen, who had already advanced to the Mid-stage of the Transforming Origin Realm, was showing increasing proficiency in his spear techniques. After comprehending his own Martial Arts Dao, his spear techniques had reached a peak. With a single thrust of his spear, a radiant silver dragon-like lance erupted, piercing through a Fourth Rank early stage Demon Beast.
“So strong!”
The middle-aged Martial Artist was shocked as he witnessed this scene.
They were both Transforming Origin Realm Martial Artists, but he was several times weaker compared to Liang Shaowen.
“This young man is either one of the exceptional talents from the Martial Academy, or from those Aristocratic families. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the strength that far surpasses his own realm”, he thought to himself.
The middle-aged Martial Artist silently struck a Third Rank Demon Beast that the Black Tiger Army had encircled.
With a downward movement of the giant axe, the head of this Third Rank Demon Beast dropped instantly to the ground.
“Haha, 120 points in my pocket.” The middle-aged Martial Artist could not suppress the smile on his face.
For him, killing a Third Rank Demon Beast was not anything difficult, but to be safe, he would rather share the points with others than take a risk alone.
With such a vigilant attitude, he was able to remain in good shape after five rounds of intense battles.
At this moment, Lu Yun swung his sword again.
Clang!
A single swing of his blade sent out a fiery blade glow as if it were a heavenly sword, instantaneously cleaving a Fourth Rank Late-stage Demon Beast in half.
“What a terrifying strength!”
An assistant general of the Black Tiger Army nearby was stunned.
This Late-stage Fourth Rank Demon Beast was something he could barely handle, yet it couldn’t even withstand a single strike from Lu Yun.
“To what extent has Lu Yun’s strength reached?”
With a complex look in his eyes, Liang Shaowen thought to himself. He had believed that, after two years of cultivation, the gap between him and Lu Yun should have narrowed down.
But Lu Yun’s one strike shattered his illusion.
“Three thousand four hundred and fifty-two points?” Lu Yun was startled by the points accumulating on his jade card.
Through the brief moment of killing, he had roughly learned the corresponding points of the Demon Beasts.
Killing a First Rank Demon Beast earned one to four points.
Second Rank Demon Beasts gave ten to forty points.
Third Rank Demon Beasts could reward between a hundred to four hundred points.
“The Late-stage Fourth Rank Demon Beast that I just slain gave me three thousand points.”
Lu Yun’s eyes flashed, and he instantly moved towards another Fourth Rank Mid-stage Demon Beast, targeting it for his next kill.
A sword was drawn, a sword fell, and it was killed instantly.
The points on his jade card changed again, reaching a total of four thousand six hundred and seventy-three points.
“A Mid-stage Fourth Rank Demon Beast, and there are less than two thousand points?”
For a moment, Lu Yun was puzzled, then turned his gaze back on the dead Demon Beast’s body.
After noticing several wounds on the beast’s body, realization dawned on his face-
