Deep within Baiqiu Mountain Range, a frontal slaughter between humans and beasts was unfolding, and the level was extremely high—both participating sides were entirely King Rank and Emperor Rank.
Unfortunately, Qian Buduo and the Qian Family experts who were privileged enough to witness this magnificent undertaking had already run to the mountain range’s outer perimeter. No matter how earth-shattering the killing inside, they couldn’t detect it.
“Huff! Huff!”
“Huff huff huff—”
The Qian Family members were all bent over, gasping for breath, secretly celebrating that they had miraculously made it out!
Of course.
They also knew they could miraculously escape because the Ancient Myriad Sect was covering the rear, so they were all grateful to the point of tears.
“Brother!”
Qian Buduo stood outside, crying out mournfully: “You and your disciples must come out safely! Getting injured doesn’t matter—I’ll hire the best physicians and spend the most money to help heal you all!”
With several hundred powerful spirit beasts, he didn’t believe Jun Changxiao could come out safely.
In reality.
Deep in the mountain range, the Ancient Myriad Sect disciples had transformed into hellish demons, madly slaughtering King Baiqiu’s subordinates.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Spirit beasts comparable to Wuwang fell to the ground one after another, blood and severed limbs scattered everywhere, like a human purgatory.
King-level spirit beasts were handled by the disciples.
Emperor-level spirit beasts were held back by Jiang Xie and others.
Among them were formidably powerful Mid-Ninth Grade spirit beasts, but before Ding Xingwang and Gongsun Haohai, they were completely inadequate.
When the Ancient Myriad Sect’s strongest combat power deployed, it was no joke!
From the current situation, unless several thousand more spirit beasts came to Baiqiu Mountain Range, they couldn’t pose any threat whatsoever.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Suddenly, roaring sounds came from deep in the mountain forest. The earth violently trembled as various species of fierce beasts frantically charged over under orders.
It seemed King Baiqiu had realized these humans were very strong. Relying solely on higher-level spirit beasts would be difficult to resolve this, so he could only use a beast tide to forcibly attack.
“Form up!”
Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Five thousand War Cavalry Hall members arrayed themselves.
“Roar! Roar!”
Soon, fierce beasts charged from the shadows, their eyes blood-red, as if they’d entered a berserk state.
Zhong Yi shouted: “Eat the fried rice!”
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
War Cavalry Hall members waved their hands, retrieving prepared portions of Power Fried Rice from their spatial rings, then swallowed them.
This scene, in the solemn atmosphere, was more like drinking a toast before battle!
“Clang!”
Zhong Yi summoned the Cloud-Piercing Blade and shouted: “The will to break through enemy lines—death without retreat! Kill—”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Five thousand War Cavalry Hall members roared in fury, then erupted with various spiritual energies and charged toward the tens of thousands of fierce beasts.
Viewing from above, one could see trees falling one after another under the rampaging momentum. The originally complex terrain was immediately flattened, transformed into a battlefield for slaughter.
Human tide.
Beast tide.
Surging from left and right, colliding together.
Though the War Cavalry Hall members hadn’t all reached Wuwang, their strength was all at peak Wuzong level. Especially with various equipment enhancements and having eaten Power Fried Rice, the power they erupted was extraordinarily terrifying!
Just in brief combat, thousands of fierce beasts charging in front were mercilessly annihilated without even a chance to resist!
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Splurt! Splurt!”
Blade light, sword shadows, spiritual energy crisscrossing!
The fierce beast horde charged forward one after another, dying one after another. In just moments, over ten thousand had perished.
The Purple Scale Demon King’s mouth twitched slightly.
In the past, his subordinates had fought these well-equipped War Cavalry Hall members, but seeing them again now, he realized their strength was far greater than before!
If they fought again, his subordinates would definitely die even more miserably!
The fierceness displayed by the War Cavalry Hall members didn’t surprise Jun Changxiao. Instead, he thought: “If they all reached Emperor Rank and entered the Planar Battlefield, wouldn’t they be unstoppable in sieges?”
…
Time passed, the slaughter continued.
More and more fierce beasts charged from the shadows, using their bodies and blood to add several portions of terror to this gloomy area.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Suddenly, a violent wind blew from the depths, carrying some kind of crimson powder.
“Not good!”
Zhong Yi exclaimed: “It’s poison!”
The crimson powder scattered over an extremely wide area in the howling wind. The War Cavalry Hall members who were fighting fierce beasts were caught off guard and poisoned, their complexions immediately changing drastically.
“Despicable and shameless!” the Purple Scale Demon King roared angrily.
When he fought King Baiqiu years ago, it was also because he was poisoned by a toxin that weakened his body that he had no choice but to retreat.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
The fierce beast horde charged even more fiercely.
But those humans who seemed to be poisoned suddenly took out a pill and swallowed it. Their furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and they raised their weapons to kill.
They weren’t poisoned?
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The War Cavalry Hall members recovered their condition and once again charged with weapons.
The fierce beasts’ use of poison was quite unexpected, but ultimately it couldn’t compare to the Nine Poison Palace. Antidote Pills were completely adequate.
However, Jun Changxiao’s gaze gradually turned cold.
Even using such underhanded means as poison—who knew what other tricks might follow.
Since that was the case, don’t blame this Seat for being refined.
“Zuiji.”
Jun Changxiao said in a deep voice: “Set up the artillery.”
“Yes!”
Xiao Zuiji blasted a spirit beast away, leaped to a high point, and summoned the field artillery, kicking it against the barrel to aim directly at the shadowy mountain forest where fierce beasts continuously emerged.
“Retreat!”
Zhong Yi shouted loudly.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Five thousand War Cavalry Hall members retreated one after another, instinctively sealing off their hearing temporarily.
The Purple Scale Demon King gloated: “Baiqiu brat’s subordinates are probably going to suffer heavy casualties now!”
“Fire!” Jun Changxiao said coldly.
“Boom!”
The field artillery’s muzzle immediately spat out a shell, creating ripples in the air before tracing an arc and falling into the midst of the fierce beast horde charging forward one after another.
They seemed to sense danger, their eyes all showing despair before death.
“BOOM—”
…
The Qian Family warriors who had just caught their breath were still anxiously waiting outside, praying for the Ancient Myriad Sect, hoping they could kill their way out safely, when they suddenly heard a massive boom that nearly caused them to lose their footing and fall.
“Look quickly!” someone exclaimed.
Qian Buduo and the Qian Family experts all raised their heads, their eyes gradually widening, potentially about to pop out of their sockets.
In the visible portion of the sky above, a mushroom cloud many times larger than before gradually formed.
“BOOM!”
Just then, another explosive sound came, shaking their ears with ringing.
A second mushroom cloud quickly appeared in view, spatial ripples spreading from that area, bringing gusts of violent wind!
“This…”
Qian Buduo rubbed his eyes and said dazedly: “What’s actually happening!”
…
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
In the deepest part of the mountain range, violent winds howled and air waves surged!
When everything finally calmed, the originally tree-filled location had been blasted into two deep craters with a radius of approximately a hundred zhang. The edge areas were scattered with countless severed limbs, the soil dyed blood-red.
Before the field artillery.
Xiao Zuiji quickly charged two shells and said: “Sect Master, should we continue?”
Jun Changxiao raised his hand to indicate no need, then looked toward the crater location, a smile rising at the corners of his mouth: “The real master has been blasted out.”
From the shadowy depths of the mountain forest walked an old man with white hair wearing a long robe, hunched over, his eyes extremely sharp and even carrying strong murderous aura.
This was the boss of Baiqiu Mountain Range—King Baiqiu.
“Boy.”
He stopped, standing before the large crater, looking at that field artillery with a dark expression: “What is this thing!”
“What it is doesn’t matter. What matters is you’ve angered this Seat.” Jun Changxiao said indifferently.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, the space before him rippled!
The old man who had been several hundred zhang away suddenly appeared in front, his withered palm carrying endless killing intent reaching over, saying coldly: “You’ve also angered this king!”
