Chapter 711: Lure And Kill
“Kill—”
Fierce shouts were heard outside the Big Mountain-guarding Formation.
As the allied forces comprising the Humans and the Beasts charged out of the protective shield, an intense conflict burst out between them and the Insects, which were already in their formation. The insects at the furthest front were not powerhouses, but some low-level expendables. There were plenty of them but when the human powerhouses waved their hands conveniently, they could cause chaos to them.
The Humans kept moving forward. There was only one thing they needed to do, which was to charge toward the area in front of the Insects’ formation where poisonous gases were released. They must mess up the Insects’ formation to prevent them from spitting poisonous gases without any restraint.
Although the Insects were enormous, they were far from the Humans and the Walking Beasts in terms of individual power. As soon as both sides clashed, the allied forces charged into the armies of insects like ferocious tigers. They attacked straight and were unstoppable, causing a reign of terror as though a sharp dagger stabbed the core of the Insects’ armies.
Ghost-clawed Venerable One scoffed coldly. “These damn Walking Beasts—they deserve to die for being willing to help the Humans for some benefits.”
Black-faced Venerable One looked strangely at it then remarked without an expression, “Ghost-clawed, what’s the point of you saying this now? Heh, if I remember correctly, you helped the Birds previously.”
Gold-bodied Venerable One’s body swayed a little as if it was displeased about that.
Indeed, the Insects’ biggest enemy was not the Humans but the Birds, which could fly high in the sky with their wings.
Theoretically, the Birds and the Insects were irreconcilable sworn enemies. Nonetheless, if one party paid enough price, some insects or birds would help one another.
It was not that they were despicable or wanted to betray their races, but they simply regarded those as deals.
Since Ghost-clawed Venerable One had helped the Birds, the 2 Venerable Ones beside it scorned it when it reprimanded the Walking Beasts for helping the Humans.
Ghost-clawed Venerable One glared at them, but it still held back its anger when it thought about its standpoint at the moment. “Are you going to just watch and let them get close to our Big Poisonous Fog Formation? Hmph, you’re not asking me to make a move now, are you?”
The 2 other Venerable Ones looked at each other and responded with a smile, “Ghost-clawed, you’re overthinking. Let’s see what our children can do first.”
After an order was given, numerous figures emerged from their reserve army. Among them, there were many high-rank, middle-rank, and low-rank spirit beasts. Under the command of 3 top-grade Spiritualists, they charged toward the Humans on the battlefield.
When Ghost-clawed Venerable One looked at the 3 top-grade spirit beasts, it was envious.
Nevertheless, its envy was quickly replaced by rage.
If its Twelve Walkers were still present, after they cultivated for a few more years, it might be able to pick the most outstanding one to advance to a top-grade spirit beast.
Now, all of the Twelve Walkers were caught, hence Ghost-clawed Venerable One no longer had potential high-rank spirit beasts. Even if it were to bring up new ones, it did not know how many years it would take for it to find a junior with the potential to become a Venerable One.
Seeing as the Insects’ real powerhouses were about to meet the allied forces, over 10 intense and fearsome auras surged from the back of the allied forces.
Those were momentums that belonged to top-grade Spiritualists, which were beings that were only second to Venerable Ones.
Instead of making a move right away, they hid at the back and were scattered on the vast battlefield. Since they had also been curbing their auras, the 3 insect Venerable Ones never noticed them.
As formidable as the insect Venerable Ones were, they were not deities. It would be quite amazing for them to pay attention to the whole battlefield, but how could they grasp every instantaneous change.
When forceful momentums suddenly burst out from those top-grade Spiritualists, the 3 Venerable Ones sensed them right away. Despite that, it was already too late, and they could not turn around the hopeless situation.
“Oh no!”
Black-faced Venerable One and Gold-bodied Venerable One shouted at the same time. Regardless of their identities as Venerable Ones, they turned into lights and zoomed toward the fight group.
At the moment, a top-grade spirit spider and 2 top-grade spirit snakes were leading their followers in high spirits to face powerhouses from 2 other races.
Based on what they sensed from before, while the Humans and the Beasts had many Spiritualists, the most powerful ones were only high-rank Spiritualists.
On the other hand, they were top-grade Spiritualists. Unless they encountered equal-ranked powerhouses, they could definitely wipe out the allied forces and sweep everything in their way. As at this moment, the 3 top-grade spirit insects charged toward their enemies overbearingly and were going to go on a killing spree so that the Humans and the Beasts would remember their names forever.
Having said that, before they could attack, over 10 frightening auras that were not inferior to theirs emerged from the allied forces without warning. What terrified them more was the owners of those auras arrived in front of them at once and spared no effort in attacking them from different directions.
It only took an instant for them to change from being hunters into preys that were deliberately targeted.
At this moment, each top-grade spirit insect was facing 4 or more enemies. They were overwhelmed with terrifying senses of danger.
Even though they did not understand what exactly was happening, they still reacted very quickly. They performed their strongest survival tricks at the same time and backed away without any hesitation.
They would be too dumb if they still fell into their opponents’ trap.
The only thing was that they could not understand how the 2 races managed to gather so many top-grade Spiritualists.
After all, top-grade Spiritualists were powerhouses that could become Venerable Ones. Even from the 3 races, there were not many of them in total.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Massive energies swept the battlefield like a stormy rain, causing the insects around the 3 top-grade spirit insects to suffer an unexpected disaster. Under an attack of such a level, not to mention ordinary insects, even high-rank spirit insects would be crushed.
“Retreat—they’re coming!”
High in the sky, Mao Jianbi yelled. The top-grade Spiritualist was sitting on his flying carpet as he floated in mid-air, allowing him to watch every change below him.
As soon as 2 of the insect Venerable Ones made a move, he warned his comrades.
The powerhouses that were encircling the 3 top-grade spirit insects retreated at once. They went all-out without holding back when they attacked, but they also backed away as fast as lightning without dilly-dallying.
While the encirclement was short-lived, it caused substantial harm to the top-grade spirit insects.
All of the top-grade spirit spider’s legs were broken, and it was so severely injured that its organs were visible through many of its wounds. It was still breathing, but it was already lingering on its last breath.
As for the 2 top-grade spirit snakes, they were in more miserable states. One of them was slashed into several pieces, where pools of blood flowed out from each of those sections. Given its injury, even an immortal would not be able to save it.
The other snake was still alive, but half of its tail was also cut off, and its injuries were not much less severe than that of the top-grade spider.
It was worth noting that the 3 spirit insects were distinguished among their races and had notable combat powers. Who knew, before they could really unleash their capabilities, they had withdrawn from the war.
Next, 2 figures appeared in front of them like ghosts. Following that, a multicolored aura and a golden light shrouded the 2 top-grade spirit insects that survived, respectively, to help them recover from their injuries as much as possible.
Even so, intense and deadly auras could be seen in the eyes of Black-faced Venerable One and Gold-bodied Venerable One.
They fixed their gazes on the 10 over mighty top-grade Spiritualists with strong killing intents.
However, just as they wanted to burst out regardless of their identities, roughly 10 lights were released from the Big Mountain-guarding Formation to protect those top-grade Spiritualists.
Yuqi the Venerable One’s voice filled the air. “Black-faced, Gold-bodied, are you going to attack? Think again!”
The 2 insect Venerable Ones were infuriated, but they were hesitant.
“Heh, this is a war between the children. If you’d like to attack, I’ll keep you company in the sky.” Yuqi the Venerable One laughed out loud. “If you’re not afraid of the consequences, go ahead.”
The 2 insect Venerable Ones glanced fiercely at the top-grade Spiritualists. They still looked fierce, but they were secretly taken aback.
‘What’s going on?
‘Out of the 10 over top-grade Spiritualists that sneaked an attack against our children, only 1 of them is from the Beast King Sect. As for the others, they seem to be from elsewhere.’
Moreover, each of the top-grade Spiritualists represented an incredibly influential force. The insect Venerable Ones would not be bothered if there were only a few of them here, but they dared not act rashly because there were over 10 of them.
Even when those top-grade Spiritualists killed and injured their powerhouses, they could not take revenge for their children at this time.
This was because they certainly would not be able to withstand the joint attack from the forces behind the top-grade Spiritualists.
Black-faced Venerable One suddenly looked up and roared angrily. “Yuqi, you’re… Shameless!”
Yuqi the Venerable One’s laughter echoed on the battlefield.
“Black-faced, you’re the ones that are invading the Beast King Sect, so do I still need to remind you of the rules?”
At the spur of the moment, Black-faced Venerable One charged into mid-air. Its body grew in the wind, by which it expanded into the size of a mountain after just a few breaths.
“Yuqi, come out here. I’ll have a life-or-death battle with you!”
“Hehe, you’d like to have a life-or-death battle with me here? I’ll fulfill your wish then…”
