Chapter 1433: Attacking the Mountain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The terrain of the Heaven Camel Mountain was very special; there were two extremely tall peaks that from afar looked like the humps on a camel’s back. Hence, it had been called the Heaven Camel Mountain.
In the Earth Emanations Domain, gravity was terrifyingly strong. The higher one went, the stronger it became. Hence, ordinary formidable martial artists were hard-pressed to fly up more than five million feet into the high skies. However, this Heaven Camel Mountain’s peak was even higher than that; if an army wanted to attack the peak, most people could only crawl their way up. This was an excellent place to defend against an assault.
The army reached beneath the Heaven Camel Mountain as everyone flew out from their Divine Boats. They surrounded both mountain peaks tightly. In the middle part of the mountain, many god bandit militia bands could be seen vaguely. These people were hiding in the stone peaks in the middle section of the mountain, in the forest, and among the bushes. They were on high alert and looked ready to fight to the death.
“There are so many people; at least five million people had come this time, right?”
After Jiang Yi and Xiao Hong reached the vicinity of Heaven Camel Mountain, Jiang Yi looked at the black mass of formidable martial artists in mid-air, feeling awed. One Blue Eagle Prefecture already had so many formidable martial artists; how many were there in the entire Earth Emanations Domain? Also, how many peak-stage formidable martial artists were now in the Heaven Domain resisting the advances of the Netherworld Realm’s forces? It was unimaginable!
Jiang Yi’s gaze turned towards the Heaven Camel Mountain as he sent out his divine senses. He frowned immediately. It seemed as if the three huge god bandit militia bands were prepared to fight to the death. Jiang Yi could roughly see that there were tens of thousands of men hiding halfway up the mountain; who knew how many there were on the peak?
Of course…
In Jiang Yi’s opinion, no matter how many men the enemy had, if the combined might of all the formidable martial artists in the Blue Eagle Prefecture could not eliminate three god bandit militia bands; then the Earth Emanations Sovereign would be unfit to rule the Earth Emanations Domain!
Xiao Hong hovered in mid-air as he scanned the surroundings a couple of times. He suddenly yelled, “I am Xiao Hong. Black Barbarian, come on out!”
Xiao Hong’s words were very authoritative; he had used his heavenly powers, and his voice was like a thunderous howl and made both giant mountain peaks shake slightly. Even Jiang Yi and company, who were near to Xiao Hong, felt a momentary stinging to their ears. Xiao Hong’s shout had also stirred the martial artists on both mountain peaks. Many on the peaks saw that so many formidable martial artists had come and had been panicking. Hearing Xiao Hong’s words, they became even more anxious.
Bandits would not want to be entangled with officials!
The god bandits were operating illegally after all; they naturally feared that the officials would come and exterminate them. Now, not only had the Earth Emanations Army and the Demon-Killing Pavilion formidable martial artists come, but even the Prefecture Lord Xiao Hong had personally come this time. Xiao Hong was the strongest formidable martial artist in the Blue Eagle Prefecture; his reputation over the years preceded him and naturally had scared these low-grade god bandits.
“Keke!”
Cold laughter rang out, followed by the shifting of the winds and clouds in the air. A phantom image formed as a long-bearded, black-faced man appeared. His eyes were exceptionally large like brass bells and his glare fear-inspiring. He looked coldly at Xiao Hong as he laughed and his voice floated by. “Xiao Hong, why have you brought so many people here? Are you here to scare me?”
Xiao Hong was expressionless as he stared at the huge phantom image. Xiao Hong answered coldly, “You have two options. You either turn the Poison Spirit over, or you will all die!”
“Hahaha!”
The black-faced, long-bearded man threw his head back and laughed out loud. His voice was also being amplified by heavenly powers as it reverberated in the surroundings. His eyes shone as he stared at Xiao Hong, saying, “Xiao Hong, I can hand the person over. However, that will cost you fifty million divine roots, not one less. If you want to fight, I will gladly do so. However, I guarantee that no more than half of your men would go back with you today!”
“Such arrogance!”
Xiao Hong was enraged. He did not want to continue this discussion as he immediately gestured and said, “Attack the mountain! Do not kill those who surrender. Whoever dares to resist—kill them all!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Voice after voice roared out as the Earth Emanations Army started to climb both huge mountains. On the other side where the Demon-Killing Pavilion forces were positioned, Qiu Yi also ordered, “Attack the mountain!”
“Hahaha, Xiao Hong, you will pay a price for your folly today!”
The Black Barbarian’s laughter rang forward as he shouted, “Brothers, if we surrender, we would definitely die. Let’s kill as many of them to join us on our way! Defensive formation, kill—”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Numerous formidable martial artists started to fly straight for the middle part of the mountain as they all released their long-ranged attacks. The sky was filled with shooting stars as all sorts of attacks lit up the sky glaringly. From the mountain tops, streaks of shooting stars also shot downwards as the god bandits launched their own attacks. The spatial zone was in turbulence all around as horrifying auras that suffocated Jiang Yi filled the air. Such fearsome attacks and such an incredible sight opened Jiang Yi’s eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were explosive noises everywhere; those in the middle section of the mountain were the most horrendous. Every explosion would bring broken limbs and numerous lives with it.
In just one volley of attacks, almost ten thousand god bandits had perished; those at the middle section of the mountain were of the lowest grade and were instantly blasted into ashes! These weaker martial artists were actually fodder for the Black Barbarian to foster hatred among the high-level god bandits on the top of the mountain. These higher-level god bandits would then become even more enraged and decide to fight to the death.
On the flip side, not one from the attacking army had perished, though many were injured and had been knocked off the mountain. The weakest martial artists here were all God Kings while the god bandits’ formidable martial artists were all on the peaks. As the distance was still too far away—when the attacks from above came close, many below had long avoided them.
Cleansing the middle section of the mountain from these bandits was easy; it was much harder to attack the top of the mountain!
The powerful gravity stopped everyone except Titled Battle Gods and above from flying; these people could only crawl up the mountain. This made them easy targets for the god bandit soldiers high up in the mountains. The god bandits above could casually launch attacks and then hide on the mountain top; if the attackers wanted to force their way up the mountain, they would definitely have to suffer heavy losses.
Swish!
Qiu Yi also started to move as he hovered above the battlefield like a hawk. As most of his forces were about to head further up the mountain, he did not want the Demon-Killing Pavilion disciples to suffer too heavy losses. He decided to personally head up to the mountain peak to deal with the formidable martial artists there as his men made their way up the mountain. Once the majority of them had successfully reached the peak, the battle would more or less be over.
“Black Barbarian, I—Xiao Shan—will spar with you!”
One of the Xiao Clan’s Titled Heaven Emanations acted and flew towards another huge mountain, preparing to take the black barbarian head-on. Xiao Hong glanced over and said, “Gan Qi, Hong Yu, you two should go and help as well!”
Swish! Swish!
Yet another two Titled Heaven Emanations followed suit as they separately headed towards each huge mountain. Countless other Heaven Emanations were also flying to the front now to withstand the barrage of attacks. This way, the God Kings and Earth Emanations behind them would be spared.
Four Titled Heaven Emanations and almost a thousand Heaven Emanations!
Seeing such a splendid battle array, the disparity in firepower between the two sides was apparent. Jiang Yi took a few looks as these formidable martial artists easily withstood the attacks from above and he set his heart at ease. Although the god bandit militia bands had some formidable martial artists—as these were the minority, this cleansing operation should proceed easily.
Boom!
At this moment, a huge explosion rang out from the northern side of the Heaven Camel Mountain. Following that, huge roars repeatedly sounded out. Xiao Hong’s face changed as he cursed, “Black Barbarian, you bastard! You have actually lured the Black Snow Sea’s Chaos Beasts over!”
Xiao Hong’s greatest worry had come true. The Black Barbarian had sent men to the Black Snow Sea to lure the Chaos Beasts there over. The Black Snow Sea was the breeding ground of the Black Snow Mountainous Region’s Chaos Beasts; even Titled Heaven Emanations dared not venture too deep into that area. How many Chaos Beasts had been lured over this time? Would ten-million-year-old Primordial-Grade Chaos Beasts appear?
Xiao Hong did not know. However, he instinctively sensed danger as he yelled, “All Earth Emanations and Demon-Killing Battle Kings to retreat five million kilometers; everyone else is to press forward and end this swiftly!”
There were many types of Chaos Beasts; the dark-elemental Chaos Beasts were the most terrifying!
If a ten-million-year-old Chaos Beast entered the fray, probably only half of those who had come together could return safely.
