Chapter 6476 Instantly Killed
Chapter 6476 Instantly Killed
This devil was dragged underground, but they could still hear his screams. That hole in the ground was like a gaping maw, magnifying the enemies’ terror and despair as the screams echoed out of it.
“There’s something underground...”
The sight of the vine made everyone realize why the experts who had tried to sneak below had vanished without a trace.
“We can’t wait any longer! Once those experts who’ve completed their essence runes and can truly wield law power arrive, we won’t stand a chance!” shouted one of the leaders.
All the leaders were apprehensive of one another. After all, they all wanted the Earth Cauldron for themselves. There was only one Earth Cauldron, and only one could claim it. The fate of the losers would be death.
Thus, even with the treasure right before their eyes, they held back. They pretended to be calm while scheming inwardly.
But now, after the barrier’s destruction, a new group of experts had arrived and formed another defensive line. If they hesitated any longer, all their earlier efforts would be wasted.
They too had condensed essence runes, but their control over law power was incomplete. To perfect their runes would take time. However, when they heard of the Earth Cauldron, they abandoned the chance to perfect their essence runes and gambled everything here.
As time passed, they grew more frantic. Any moment now, someone who had made the final breakthrough could appear, and all their chances would vanish.
“Attack together to pierce their defenses! Let’s see if they have anything else up their sleeves!”
The other leaders no longer hesitated. Even Kun Gang and the mysterious man atop the Soul Devouring Blood Toad made their move.
Though they charged at the same time, each maintained distance from the others. None of them wanted to get stabbed in the back.
Seeing them approach, Yue Xiaoqian and the others once more stood up to fight. Their brief moment of rest had already ended.
BOOM!
Under the combined pressure of the leaders, the defense lines started to buckle. Lei Yuner was the first to falter as two enemies pressed her hard, forcing her back. As she retreated, the pressure on the Lightning Falcon race mounted sharply.
“I will go help that little sister!” said Yue Xiaoqian.
Fei Shuang looked at her, wanting to say something, but ultimately kept those words to herself.
Yue Xiaoqian’s expression was determined. Astral energy erupted out of her as she walked toward Lu Ze’s direction.
The remaining experts of the original devil race had no choice but to fend for themselves. Against these powerful foes, they had no advantage fighting in groups.
BOOM!
Yue Xiaoqian’s sword flashed, intercepting a warhammer-wielding outsider who was ganging up on Lei Yuner. Her strike sent the attacker stumbling back.
“Original devil race, you traitors! Die!” he bellowed, turning his fury on Yue Xiaoqian.
He was the leader of an outsider devil race. Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to face her head-on. After all, Yue Xiaoqian’s devil rune could suppress his kind. Even an expert on his level would simply be throwing himself to his death if he were to fight her.
But now, he sensed that her core energy was depleted. She couldn’t pose much of a threat to him. Knowing that, he fearlessly attacked her.
In just a few exchanges, Yue Xiaoqian was being pressed back.
Just as Yue Xiaoqian seemed to be in danger, a lightning arrow streaked toward the back of her attacker’s head. He roared and smashed it with his warhammer. But that instant of distraction let Yue Xiaoqian counter with a slash that forced him away, buying her a moment to breathe.
“Thank you, little sister!” Yue Xiaoqian called gratefully. She knew the arrow had come from Lei Yuner.
Lei Yuner’s bow trembled as she fended off her own opponent. She said, “I owe Big Brother Long Chen too much. Being able to fight for him, I have no regrets even if I die. To fall alongside a fairy-like big sister like you, that would be Yun’er’s honor.”
It was clear that Lei Yuner had come ready to die. The moment she set foot into this battlefield, she had not planned on leaving alive. The two women exchanged a smile. In that fleeting instant, these two strangers became sisters-in-arms.
Just then, rumbling rang out behind her, startling Yue Xiaoqian. Some of the top experts had managed to break through their blockade and approach the Earth Cauldron.
In response, black qi surged into the air. Cang Lu had spread his Bloodfiend Wings wide, burning his Black Blood Qi to erect a massive dark barrier that blocked their advance.
For the first time, Cang Lu had abandoned offense for defense. Black flames filled the sky, twisting into writhing vines like drakes. Each time they were shattered, they regenerated instantly.
Even as over ten top experts attacked together, they could not break through.
On the other side, starlight erupted. Fei Shuang and Lu Ze clashed fiercely, their auras shaking the heavens. Lu Ze’s essence rune burned like a miniature sun, while Fei Shuang’s original devil power intertwined with her astral energy.
In just a few exchanges, Fei Shuang was struck by a heavy punch and sent flying, blood spraying from her lips. She wiped it away and glared fiercely, then charged back in without hesitation.
As Yue Xiaoqian was distracted by this sight, a warhammer whistled towards her.
“Where are you looking at?! Die!”
Yue Xiaoqian felt weak and powerless at this moment. She barely had the strength to lift her sword; her energy was nearly spent after sustaining the barrier for so long. Even so, she still raised her sword. She knew that she couldn’t block that attack, but as long as she wasn’t dead, she wouldn’t give up.
Her sword descended, and a spray of blood filled the air.
The next moment, the attacker’s head flew skyward.
“What?”
Countless people were startled by this sudden turn of events, including Yue Xiaoqian.
The void rippled, and a small figure appeared before her—a pretty maiden of fourteen or fifteen, clad in tight black leather armor. She possessed a maturity that did not match her youthful appearance.
A black dagger gleamed in her hand. She had silently appeared and decapitated the enemy in a single strike.
“Big Sister Xiaoqian, I’m sorry for being late. Leave the rest to us!” said the pretty maiden.
It was Dong Mingyu.
She had once inherited Enpuda’s legacy in the mortal world and abandoned it later to become Ye Wusheng’s disciple in the immortal world.
“Us?”
Yue Xiaoqian blinked in surprise, relief washing through her. But when she heard the word “us,” she instinctively turned toward Fei Shuang’s direction.
BOOM!
A colossal golden sword descended from the heavens, slamming down toward Lu Ze with devastating might.
