Chapter 6496 Broken Drum
Chapter 6496 Broken Drum
“Heavens, did he just kill half-step Sovereign Lords?!”
“Two in one move?”
“Just what kind of monster is this Yue Zifeng? He isn’t even a half-step Sovereign Lord, but he’s already this terrifying!”
Everyone on the battlefield was stunned to see the four captains of the Dragonblood Legion appearing one after another, each more terrifying than the last.
That was particularly true of Yue Zifeng. To slay two half-step Sovereign Lords with a single strike was unimaginable. The sight of him sheathing his sword as their broken corpses and shattered weapons fell would be burned into their memory forever.
The arrival of the four captains rocked the entire battlefield. The name “Dragonblood Legion” thundered through every heart.
Just as everyone was stunned, a crazed beast charged into the ranks of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkeys. It was a colossal Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox. On its head stood a man who shouted, “Long Chen’s subordinate, the Dragonblood Legion’s outside contractors—Bai Xiaole and Little Nine!”
Bai Xiaole had also come. As he stood atop the fox’s head, his hands wove complex seals. Two massive pupils appeared behind him, like twin moons blooming with three rotating flower petals.
The pupils locked onto the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkeys, and their experts froze, feeling as though their souls were being ripped from their bodies.
Earlier, Mo Yang and Chi Wufeng had gone to assist Meng Qi, leaving the dragon race under immense pressure. They were barely holding against the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkeys. But just in time, the Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox charged into the fray, its claws tearing the void apart like paper.
The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race’s experts were massacred.
“Damn Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox!”
The six chiefs of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race roared in fury. They had been contained before, but once Mo Yang and Chi Wufeng left, they thought they could crush the dragon experts. Unexpectedly, the dragon experts resisted intensely, and the Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox’s arrival turned the tables on them.
Unaffected by the pupil art, the six chiefs charged toward the Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox, or more accurately... the man on its head.
After all, Bai Xiaole’s pupil art was suppressing the entire Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race. They had to kill him first to reduce the casualties.
The six chiefs attacked from six different angles. They also timed it well, showing that the six of them were highly coordinated.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaole’s hand seals changed, and a spatial whirlpool appeared in front of each of them. Before they could react, they were sucked inside.
The Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox opened its jaws, violet runes spiraling into a massive orb laced with lightning runes and the aura of laws.
In less than half a breath, the six chiefs reappeared—somehow right in front of the Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox.
BOOM!
The violet sphere erupted, devouring them whole.
Six mangled figures were hurled through the air, heavily injured. Worst of all, they had to land in the middle of the dragon experts—where they were instantly cut to pieces.
After losing their leaders and elites, only a third of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkeys remained. The dragon race swiftly annihilated them.
Suddenly, giant talismans appeared around the Earth Cauldron, and the runes on them made them look like giant war banners.
Thirty-six of them firmly sealed the Earth Cauldron. Just as the surrounding experts thought that someone was trying to seize the Earth Cauldron, they linked together to form a massive spirit-gathering formation.
Karmic luck from heaven and earth surged toward it. However, it was not going into the Earth Cauldron, but concentrated to the area below it.
Xia Chen stood in front of one of those giant talismans. However, he was rather low-key and didn’t bother reporting his name. After setting up the formation, he shouted to Meng Qi and the others.
“Big Sister Meng Qi, over here. You should absorb the karmic luck and condense your essence rune.”
“But there are still too many of them,” Meng Qi replied.
Though they were holding back the enemies for now, the enemy reinforcements were coming. The four captains couldn’t block all of them forever.
After all, Gu Yang and the others hadn’t condensed complete essence runes.
Then, a deep drumbeat thundered across the battlefield. Space rippled behind Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Yue Zifeng as figure after figure appeared. Each of them was radiating the sharp aura of honed blades.
“The Dragonblood Legion is here! I want to see who dares to touch a single hair on Boss’s head!”
Guo Ran’s arrogant voice rang out. He stood lazily on top of an ancient bronze drum.
The bronze drum was rusty and worn down, looking to be on the verge of falling apart. But while its runes had faded, the engravings remained clear.
No fluctuations or immense pressure came from this broken-down drum. But the moment it appeared, the Earth Cauldron’s heart shook.
“This Guo Ran’s luck really is astonishing. He actually found it and had it acknowledge him as its master.”
The drumbeat resounded throughout the battlefield, sending tremors through every soul. No one knew whether their fear was caused by Guo Ran’s presence or the drum’s power.
Without a word, the Dragonblood warriors took control of the battlefield. Though none had fully condensed their essence runes, they tore through opponents who had. They moved like killing machines, spreading through the battlefield with merciless efficiency.
The experts of the original devil race, the Lightning Falcon race, the Four Cardinal Alliance, the dragon race, the High Firmament Academy, the Starry River Sect—all retreated beneath the Earth Cauldron.
As they entered its range, a vast wave of karmic luck enveloped them, flooding into their bodies.
“This is...!”
Everyone was shocked and delighted. Within Xia Chen’s formation, their speed of essence rune condensation multiplied severalfold.
Such a fearsome formation had been completed with a mere wave of Xia Chen’s hand. As a result, their awe toward this formation master reached new heights.
Wasting no time, they directly absorbed the karmic luck and recovered their energy while condensing their essence runes.
They knew that the battle would not end just because of the Dragonblood Legion’s arrival. They knew the battle wouldn’t end with the Dragonblood Legion’s arrival—if anything, it would grow even bloodier.
They had to seize this moment to grow stronger, or they wouldn’t survive what came next.
Just then, a bewitching voice spread through the battlefield.
“What dogshit Dragonblood Legion? There’s barely a few thousand of them, while we outnumber them by tens of thousands! Are you afraid of them? That’s one of the ten supreme divine items—the Earth Cauldron! Whoever claims it will rule the nine heavens! Kill!”
Following that, greed and desire exploded within everyone, and they charged forward without a care for their own lives.
