256: Battle Monster Legion

It could be said that everyone still had a way out, and that was something Shen Xi had secured for them by sacrificing himself.

How could the group possibly abandon Shen Xi?

"Everyone, quiet down!"

Shen Xi roared.

Immediately, he scanned the surroundings.

He would forever remember the camaraderie of these brothers.

Then, Shen Xi continued, "I don't object to you staying to fight. In this kind of life-or-death crisis, the tempering effect will be twice as effective, and it will be of great benefit to your future."

"However, you must promise me that if things go wrong, you will immediately leave the Sealed Land. Do not linger, and do not worry about me."

"Again, I have means to protect myself, so I won't be in danger."

At this point, seeing that everyone was still unmoved and looked ready to fight to the death, Shen Xi finally spoke with a stern face, "If you stay, you'll only drag me down. Then everyone will die. When it's time to leave, leave. My chances of surviving alone are greater!"

Only then did the crowd finally waver a little.

"Brother Shen, you're not lying to us, are you?"

"This is over three hundred thousand Yao Beasts. Can you really survive?"

"If you die, even if I have to risk my life, I will kill these Yao Beasts. If one year isn't enough, then ten years. If ten years isn't enough, then a hundred years. I refuse to believe I can't kill them all!"

Hearing the group's words, Shen Xi felt a warmth in his heart and then stated with certainty, "I'll be fine. When have I ever done something I wasn't confident about? Anyway, listen to me: if things go south, leave immediately. I can handle it."

Everyone nodded.

"Okay, we won't hold you back."

"While we haven't left yet, let's kill more Yao Beasts."

"Exactly, this can also relieve some pressure on Brother Shen."

As they spoke, everyone gripped their weapons tightly.

They were no longer insistent on staying; they would follow Shen Xi's instructions and leave when the time came.

Of course, before leaving, they would also do their best to kill more Yao Beasts.

After all, every additional Yao Beast killed would reduce Shen Xi's danger by one point.

On the other side.

The Yao Beast army continuously advanced, finally arriving in front of Shen Xi and his group.

The Flame Demon Head and the other thirty-five royal family heads stood at the very front of the Yao Beast army, lined up in a single row.

"Humans, you shouldn't be able to escape now!"

"During this time, you've been causing trouble in the Sealed Land, and it's time to pay the price."

"Mere humans, how dare you be so arrogant. Your ancestors were the blood food of our ancestors, and as for you, you are no exception."

"I'm already looking forward to the taste of your flesh and blood."

The heads all spoke, their tones full of disdain.

Some even expressed regret.

They had thought many humans had entered the Sealed Land, requiring such a large-scale mobilization, gathering over three hundred thousand Yao Beasts.

But in the end, there were only eight.

Forget over three hundred thousand; even ten thousand Yao Beasts would be enough to easily wipe out these humans.

If it weren't for the direct orders from the leaders above, some of the heads would have already planned to leave with their subordinates.

Why use an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken?

"Stop talking so much nonsense, fight!"

Shen Xi sneered continuously.

As he spoke, he unleashed a sword strike.

One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces formed a ten-meter-long sword light, directly slashing towards the Flame Demon Head.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

The Flame Demon Head snorted coldly.

It opened its large mouth, spewing out a stream of flames that collided with One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces.

Boom!

For a moment, the earth shook.

The aftermath of the battle caused some Houtian Realm Yao Beasts to involuntarily retreat a few steps.

The Flame Demon was indeed one of the Yao Beast royal families; the head's combat power was not inferior to Shen Xi's, and even slightly higher.

"How dare you actively attack us? You're tired of living! First Unit, advance!"

To the side, another head was furious.

At its command, ten thousand Yao Beasts immediately charged towards Shen Xi and his group.

Ten thousand against eight people!

Among these ten thousand Yao Beasts, there were also five hundred Xiantian Realm Yao Beasts leading the charge, and even ten Innate Transformation of Strength Yao Beasts commanding them.

This force was already enough to crush Shen Xi and his group.

"You little brat, that's not honorable!"

"You want to snatch the first achievement, don't you?"

"If these humans die by your troops, you can divide a portion of their blood food. What a good scheme!"

"Damn it, I was a step too slow. This brat got ahead of me."

The other heads couldn't help but curse when they saw this.

After seeing that Shen Xi and his group only had eight people, everyone knew this was a fat piece of meat, a lamb to be slaughtered.

Naturally, everyone wanted to strike first.

If their subordinates killed Shen Xi and the others, even if the vast majority had to be handed over to the leaders, they could still secretly hide a portion of the blood food to improve their cultivation.

But they hadn't expected to be beaten to it.

"Hehe, you concede!"

The head of the First Unit chuckled, as if he could already see himself devouring the flesh and blood of Shen Xi and his group, and his strength rapidly increasing.

On the other side.

Shen Xi and his group were already fighting the Yao Beasts of the First Unit.

A full ten thousand Yao Beasts, even if the vast majority were Houtian Realm, were enough to easily crush Shen Xi and his group.

In just a single exchange, everyone was already injured.

Even Shen Xi had over a hundred claw marks and bite marks on his body, let alone Fatty, Liu Linsheng, and the others.

"I'll kill you all!"

"Damn it! You bastard Yao Beasts, if you've got guts, fight me one-on-one!"

"Damn it, killing one is breaking even, killing two is earning one."

Everyone cursed loudly.

Their current goal was to kill a few more Yao Beasts to relieve Shen Xi's pressure.

Otherwise, even if they left, they wouldn't be content.

The melee continued!

In just a few breaths, Shen Xi had killed twelve Yao Beasts.

As for the others, their combat power was ultimately not as good as Shen Xi's, and together they had only killed ten.

The vast majority of these were killed by Liu Yiyi, Ye Zirou, Chen Fang, and Chu He.

The three, including Fatty, were even having trouble protecting themselves.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, Shen Xi directly roared.

Letting everyone stay was for tempering them.

But now, danger was everywhere, the meaning of tempering was no longer significant, and a slight carelessness could lead to death on the spot. They had to retreat!

"Retreat? Where else do you want to retreat to? As things stand, I might as well tell you that the Sealed Land can only be entered and exited three times. You have already used up your chances to leave. Now, you are like fish on a chopping block, only able to be slaughtered at will!"

Ling Feng, who had been hiding in the dark, finally appeared.

He laughed wildly.

He had secretly followed Shen Xi and his group for several days, all for this moment.

The scene of these humans going from hope to despair, and finally completely collapsing, was finally about to unfold.

Thinking of this, he trembled with excitement.
