89: Chapter 89 Shifting the Blame Eastward!!!

Lei Dingtian tightly gripped a battle spear condensed from pure thunder with both hands, a wave of tearing pain coming from the web of his thumbs.

Right in front of him, the Central Altar flashing with five-colored divine light was clearly close at hand, yet it seemed separated by an insurmountable chasm.

Tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts had completely fallen into madness, tightly surrounding the wasteland around the altar.

"Thunder Warriors, press the entire line forward!" Lei Dingtian fiercely waved his battle spear.

Two thousand Thunder dependents shrouded in purplish-black lightning braved the suffocating bloody wind, forming a long defense line at the very front.

The violent power of thunder transformed into a dense power grid, indiscriminately bombarding the beast tide ahead.

Every time the blinding thunder light flashed, it would clear out a large patch of charred open space in the beast herd, and the air was filled with a strong smell mixed with ozone and burnt flesh.

On the left flank of Lei Dingtian's line, the towering flames almost ignited the dark red firmament.

Lian Zhan, stripped to the waist and brandishing a huge battle axe, led over a thousand Flame Berserkers to charge repeatedly through the beast herd.

They were like a red-hot pointed knife, and every slash could kick up large areas of burning severed limbs; the extreme high temperature even melted the sand and stones under their feet into glass-like crystals.

Lian Zhan was responsible for unreservedly launching a strong attack, tearing open a gap of advancement for the army at all costs.

However, the trend of the battle made Lei Dingtian's heart sink bit by bit.

The number of Demonic Beasts was simply too many, and what was even more terrifying was their current state.

These creatures, which usually knew how to avoid disadvantages, had completely lost the instinct of fear at this moment.

The Armored Mad Bull in the front row had just been split into charcoal by thunder, and the blood-scaled giant lizard in the back row immediately stepped on its companion's high-temperature-emitting corpse, pouncing forward without any fear.

Their limbs were severed, yet they still wriggled forward with their surviving torsos, attempting to bite the ankles of the Thunder Warriors.

On the right flank, Lian Yun pressed his hands firmly against the ground, his whole body long soaked in sweat.

Countless thick Ironwood Tree Demons burst out of the ground, using tough vines and huge bodies to firmly protect the exposed flanks of Lei Dingtian and Lian Zhan.

Venom and sharp claws constantly tore apart the trunks of the tree demons, and Lian Yun could only continuously squeeze his Divine Power to stimulate new vines to repair the torn gaps on the defense line.

The tremor of the earth never stopped, and sickening roars came from all directions.

The dependent armies of the three Prodigies closely cooperated, moving forward with difficulty in the beast tide.

But this high-intensity war of attrition caused the Divine Power of the Prodigies to reach a dangerous critical point.

The lightning on the bodies of the Thunder dependents under Lei Dingtian had dimmed by nearly half, and the front row even began to show incomplete organization.

There was still a full eight hundred meters away from the entrance of the Central Altar.

At this moment, these eight hundred meters had become a bottomless meat grinder of flesh and blood.

A Tier 2 Peak Shadow Demon Leopard avoided the blockade of the power grid and suddenly pounced toward Lei Dingtian from midair.

Lei Dingtian reacted extremely quickly, backhanding a spear to pierce the Shadow Demon Leopard right in midair.

Scalding beast blood splashed onto his face, but he even omitted the action of wiping it, his gaze quickly sweeping over the defense line that already showed fatigue.

He could no longer consume like this.

Lei Dingtian took a deep breath, his left hand slowly feeling for a purple crystal on his chest.

That was a trump card left behind by his father, the head of the Lei family, to save his life.

Once crushed, it could erupt with the Law of Thunder close to the Tier 3 Early Stage in a short time, which was enough to clear the obstacles ahead.

Although the price was that the dependent army would fall into a long period of weakness and even affect the subsequent ranking of the grand competition, staying alive was the top priority right now.

Just at the moment when Lei Dingtian's fingertips were about to exert force.

From the far rear of the beast herd, a neat and dull sound of footsteps suddenly came.

That sound penetrated the chaotic roars of the Demonic Beasts, carrying an extremely rigorous tactical rhythm.

Lei Dingtian stopped his action, subconsciously looking in the direction of the sound.

He only saw that in the airtight rear of the beast tide, a cold, deep blue light suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of sharp stellar spears, like a dense steel forest, thrust out from behind the beast herd without any warning.

The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh merged into one, so neat that there was only a single sound.

The rear of the beast herd, which was frantically encircling the Prodigy army, was instantly torn open with a huge gap.

A heavy-armored army with a complete formation, like an indestructible blue sharp sword, heavily cut into the battlefield.

Right in the center of the formation was a huge chariot forged from stellar iron.

Lin Yunfei, dressed in a black robe, stood upright at the very front of the chariot, his gaze coldly watching the beast herd ahead.

Because Lin Yunfei was charging toward the direction of the Central Altar, his back was facing the outer wasteland.

Coupled with the flying dust all over the sky and the towering piles of Demonic Beast corpses blocking the line of sight, Lei Dingtian simply could not see the situation behind the chariot.

He could not hear the collapse of the mountains at the edge of the wasteland, nor could he see the Tier 3 Giant Dragon lurking behind the clouds and driving an even larger-scale beast tide.

In Lei Dingtian's perspective, he only saw an incredible fresh force.

This army named Azure Dragon Guards was not only unscathed, but even actively launched a counter-charge toward the most dangerous hinterland of the beast tide.

With the chariot as the core, the shield guards on the periphery were like a moving city wall, and every thrust of the spearmen inside was precise and fatal.

"Whose army is that?"

Lian Zhan, who was fighting bloody battles on the front line, also perceived the abnormal movement in the rear.

He split a giant bear with an axe, wiped the blood and filth on his face, and shouted loudly toward the rear.

Lian Yun manipulated the vines to clear a line of sight, his gaze falling on the fluttering cyan battle flag.

"Lin Yunfei's Azure Dragon Guards." There was a hint of hard-to-conceal surprise in Lian Yun's voice.

Lei Dingtian watched the Azure Dragon Guards forcefully tear open a passage leading to their location among the beast herd with the momentum of pulling out decayed wood.

The originally heavy pressure was greatly relieved at this moment.

He tightened his grip on the battle spear, looking at the figure on the chariot who seemed desperate to save his classmates.

"Is he here to save us?" Lei Dingtian's tone was filled with doubt, and even had a trace of uncertainty.

In the Creator's cruel trial, everyone was a life-or-death competitor.

Let alone in this desperate situation where a slight mistake would lead to the annihilation of the entire army, who would actively rush into the riotous beast tide to rescue a competitor?

But the scene in front of him could not be faked; Lin Yunfei really brought a complete army, solidly sharing the most fatal pressure in the rear for them.

The advance speed of the Azure Dragon Guards was extremely fast.

With them pulling in the rear, the frontal pressure of the Prodigy army plummeted, and the originally tottering defense line gained a trace of breathing room.

Lei Dingtian decisively changed his command: "Stop the strong attack! The whole army, change the rear ranks into front ranks, and move closer to the gap torn open by the Azure Dragon Guards!"

Lian Zhan and Lian Yun also reacted quickly, immediately adjusting their tactics.

The Flame Berserkers and Ironwood Tree Demons quickly contracted their defense lines, cooperating with the Thunder dependents to fight while retreating, approaching the direction where Lin Yunfei was located.

Under the pincer attack of the beast tide, the two huge armies finally converged in one place with difficulty.

The shield wall of the Azure Dragon Guards unfolded to both sides, accepting the exhausted Prodigy army into the inner side of the defense circle.

The chariot stopped in front of the three Prodigies.

Lei Dingtian just wanted to open his mouth to ask Lin Yunfei why he would appear here taking such a huge risk.

Lin Yunfei directly raised his hand, interrupting everyone's words.

"Whatever you have to say, say it later."

Standing high up, Lin Yunfei solemnly swept his gaze over the broken formations of Lei Dingtian and others, his tone grave.

"Those who want to stay alive, move closer to the Azure Dragon Guards immediately!"

None of the three Prodigies retorted; they quickly commanded their respective dependents, closely attaching themselves around the defensive shield wall constructed by the Azure Dragon Guards.

With the addition of this fresh force, the entire defense line finally stabilized again.

Lei Dingtian looked at Lin Yunfei's calm profile, the guard in his heart completely letting go, and even a trace of gratitude arose.

He was just preparing to adjust his Divine Power and cooperate with Lin Yunfei to break through toward the altar.

Just at this moment, deep in the clouds in the distance, a faint dragon roar faintly came, extremely weak yet causing all the surrounding Demonic Beasts to instantly fall into a deeper level of frenzy.
