163: Chapter 163 Tragic

Operating at full power, Tu Lie was like the Descent of the Killing God; boundless blood-red light soared into the sky, and his aura was terrifying to the extreme.

Wielding the Chaos-Breaking Axe, a massive bolt of blood-red light that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart slashed fiercely toward Arakawa Ryo's army.

At the same time, the Dragon Cavalry held nothing back.

"Thunder Spirit Form."

"Thunder Stomp."

Blessed by the characteristics of the Thunder Beast Extermination Formation, endless lightning erupted from their bodies, instantly transforming them into an indestructible, violent bolt of lightning that closely followed Tu Lie and crashed heavily forward.

"Not good! Block them!"

Arakawa Ryo's expression changed drastically, and he hastily ordered his army to resist with all their might.

However, apart from his 200-man legendary grade army, which adjusted in time, the other units were a beat too slow.

"Boom~"

An incomparably terrifying force erupted the moment the two sides collided.

The earth shattered.

Under the Demon-Sweeping characteristic, this charge by the Dragon Cavalry enveloped everyone. While the army formation's bonuses were not that large, each Dragon Cavalry member's stats were at least four times higher than the enemy's.

The effect of this strike could be described as heaven-destroying and earth-shattering.

The army with the archer projection was directly smashed into a sky full of blood mist, and the other army with the heavy infantry projection also suffered heavy casualties.

Arakawa Ryo's ace army fared slightly better; they had greater numbers and higher quality.

The Epic Grade-dominated Dragon Cavalry could not pose too great a threat to them.

However, Tu Lie's heaven-tearing and earth-splitting axe strike was aimed directly at them.

How terrifying was the full-power strike of a legendary grade hero? Not to mention that Tu Lie's stats were more than six times theirs. With a single axe fall, the blood-red light tore through the formation, taking the lives of a dozen legendary grade Troop Types.

Immediately afterward, Tu Lie rushed into that legendary grade army and began a massacre.

Boundless Killing Intent enveloped his entire body, completely slicing apart the attacks heading his way.

The SS-grade Descent of the Killing God was even more powerful; in a short period, his Killing Intent protection could not be broken at all.

The Dragon Cavalry were not idle either. After crashing through the enemy's formation, that violent bolt of lightning rushed back once more in a flash of light and stone.

"Boom~"

This time, Arakawa Ryo's remaining army could no longer resist. Including Arakawa Ryo and several heroes, they were all blasted to death, leaving only that legendary grade army to engage in a desperate life-or-death battle with Tu Lie and the Dragon Cavalry.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, they displayed incomparably strong fighting will and terrifying strength.

The gap between Epic Grade and legendary grade was difficult to cross.

If not for Tu Lie and the 12 legendary grade Dragon Cavalry, the Dragon Cavalry would not have been opponents at all.

The battle soon came to an end.

The 200 legendary grade Troop Types were completely slaughtered.

Their desperate counterattack before death also took away one-third of the Dragon Cavalry's lives, and the blood-red light surrounding Tu Lie dimmed significantly.

"Hahaha, exhilarating!"

"Brothers, follow me and keep killing!"

Tu Lie laughed wildly and immediately led the remaining Dragon Cavalry to charge toward the next invader.

Although the battle ended quickly, by this time, the other invading top-tier lords had already reacted.

The closest to Arakawa Ryo happened to be Doyle's army.

He rushed to reinforce at the first moment, yet he was still a step too slow. Facing the murderous Tu Lie and Dragon Cavalry charging forward, Doyle's expression was icy.

"Courting death."

A moment later.

Doyle's expression twitched slightly.

The battle result naturally had no suspense. The remaining two-thirds of the Dragon Cavalry could no longer form an army formation, and their threat level dropped significantly. Neither could Tu Lie defeat the enemy army single-handedly.

Doyle had originally thought that facing a remnant army, he could easily take them down.

Yet he did not expect that he still underestimated the opponent.

Tu Lie's strength was somewhat beyond imagination. Before dying in a hard-fought battle, he still took away one-tenth of his army. Although they were mainly Epic Grade, it still made his heart ache a little.

"How is that possible? Even if he is a legendary grade hero, how could he be so powerful?"

Doyle found it somewhat incomprehensible.

He also had legendary grade heroes in his hands.

Yet as soon as the two sides exchanged blows, his own legendary grade hero was almost killed.

Both were legendary grade, both were Human Race heroes; why was the gap so huge?

Even if Lin Xiao had a high-grade world wonder, he himself also had an ordinary world wonder, and its tier was one grade higher. It should have been his hero almost killing the other side instead.

Not just the heroes, those Troop Types were also exaggeratedly strong.

Clearly, Lin Xiao had a huge secret; it wasn't as simple as just having a high-grade world wonder.

If he were really allowed to grow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Fortunately, they are already dead."

Doyle slowly let out a long breath, his mood easing slightly.

No matter how strong Lin Xiao was, he wouldn't be the opponent of so many sixth-order top-tier lords. He no longer had the chance to grow.

However, for some reason, Doyle always felt as if he had overlooked something, yet it seemed he hadn't. He shook his head, quickly dismissing the thought, and led his army toward the depths of Lin Xiao's territory.

...

At the time when Arakawa Ryo's army encountered the enemy, a similar battle erupted in other directions of the territory.

Hanshi, the First-Generation Lord of the Bull Demon Race, was also ambushed as soon as he entered.

Zhong Yue led over two hundred Black Armor Soldiers and over two hundred Wind Shadow Archers to meet this Bull Demon Race army.

Just like Tu Lie and the others.

As soon as they met, everyone entered a state of full-power explosion.

Blessed by the army formation's characteristics, countless terrifying arrow lights were poured into the Bull Demon Race army like a violent storm.

Hanshi was directly beaten into a daze.

Although he resisted with all his might, under the full output of the Wind Shadow Archers, he appeared somewhat eclipsed.

Their attacks were all blocked by the Black Armor Soldiers, causing no harm to anyone else.

In terms of strength, blessed by the A-grade talent, Hanshi's army was not weak either.

However, what they encountered were the two armies with the strongest offense and defense in Lin Xiao's territory.

Over forty legendary grade Troop Types were all inside.

In a short period of time, the 20-plus legendary grade Wind Shadow Archers dealt unimaginable, terrifying damage. Under the split characteristic, their damage was simply off the charts, while the 20-plus legendary grade Black Armor Soldiers also bore the brunt of the attacks.

Under the super-strong recovery ability of the Xuanwu Return-to-Origin Formation and Shared Fate, as long as the Black Armor Soldiers could not be completely wiped out in a short time, they could recover rapidly.

Not to mention, there was also the hero Zhong Yue present.

By the time the nearby top-tier Sixth-order Lords rushed over to support, Hanshi's army had already been completely annihilated.

Subsequently, an even larger-scale battle erupted.

Under the siege of several top-tier Sixth-order Lords, Zhong Yue and the others couldn't hold on for long before being completely killed, but before their deaths, they also caused massive damage to the enemy.

The armies of these top-tier Sixth-order Lords participating in the siege all suffered casualties exceeding half.

After the battle, the expressions of these top-tier lords were somewhat pale, and one of them looked even worse than if his horse had died.

His subordinate legendary grade hero saw the heavily injured Zhong Yue and thought he could pick up a free kill.

As a result, after rushing up, he was directly blasted into a cloud of blood mist by a single hammer strike from Zhong Yue.

That was a sixth-order legendary grade hero!

He was actually killed in one hit...

That terrifying scene made people feel chilled to the bone just recalling it.

To encircle and kill Zhong Yue, the price they paid was simply too huge.
