640: Chapter Aliens intervene, breakthrough in danger

Bai Yuan fell silent upon hearing this, looking at Zhu Jianhua in the center of the bloody storm with a complex expression.

After a long while, he sighed and shook his head.

"He is not our target; there's no need for a meaningless sacrifice."

If it were Forbidden Land Creatures breaking through, he would undoubtedly act without hesitation, as there would be profit to be made.

But there's no benefit in attacking Zhu Jianhua now; moreover, his relationship with Great Xia is neither good nor bad.

There's still hope of drawing him into Great Xia in the future, so there's no need to attack such an existence.

As he spoke, he looked towards another battlefield, where Luo Xiu alone was facing five Emperor Realm experts.

Although he didn't sense any aura from him for some reason, he would never forget the Wolf Emperor's appearance.

It was because of him that they nearly died!

"Let's go. Since all Emperor Realm experts have been drawn here, we can take the opportunity to infiltrate the core!"

Bai Yuan was only slightly shocked before withdrawing his gaze; he knew the battle here wouldn't end anytime soon.

The bloody storm churned above the Forbidden Ground, like angry blood dragons circling and roaring.

Zhu Jianhua sat cross-legged in the center of the storm, surrounded by scarlet light, each breath causing violent tremors in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

His Breakthrough had reached its most critical moment; the threshold of the Emperor Realm was right before him.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze, turned, and gestured to the team members behind him: "Now's our chance, let's go."

Just as they were about to retreat, an unusual fluctuation came from the Forbidden Land Creatures tide.

Bai Yuan suddenly turned his head, his pupils contracting sharply—five figures were moving through the beast horde at a bizarre speed, rapidly approaching the center of the storm.

"Is that... the Bone Clan?" a team member beside Bai Yuan whispered.

The foremost figure was entirely composed of pale white bones, with only a flickering azure flame in its eye sockets.

With each step it took, a thin layer of frost formed on the ground.

Closely following was a tall humanoid creature with black wings on its back, its feathers gleaming like blades.

The third one resembled a sphere covered in sharp thorns, emitting a grating friction sound as it rolled.

The other two were similar to the first, but their auras were slightly weaker.

"Not just the Bone Clan, but also the Black Feather Clan and the Thorn Demon Clan," Bai Yuan's voice was icy. "These are people from the Bone Clan Alliance; they've actually attacked the Forbidden Ground as well."

Man Kuang and the others in the distance also noticed these uninvited guests; he grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, his thick arms crossed over his chest.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

In the center of the battlefield, Zhou Rong's expression changed; he noticed these five individuals and guessed their purpose.

"My Lords, please make a move!"

Zhou Rong said in a deep voice, but he didn't act; instead, he looked at the Demonic Beasts experts beside him.

The two King Realm Late Stage Demonic Beasts were a black battle ape, two zhang tall, named Ape Zhan, and a leopard enveloped in lightning, named Thunder Leopard.

Upon hearing this, the two looked at Zhou Rong, knowing he was Zhu Jianhua's subordinate, then exchanged glances and immediately flew towards the approaching Foreign Race.

"Foreign Race ants, come and die!"

The Bone Clan expert, Bone You, had azure flames blazing in its eyes; it raised its bony hand, and an ice wall appeared out of thin air.

Thunder Leopard's sharp claws struck the ice wall, erupting in dazzling electric light and ice shards.

"Is this what Demonic Beasts are like? Nothing special. Do you really dare to obstruct our clan's great plan?"

Bone You's voice was as grating as two bones rubbing together, and the other four Foreign Race experts beside him also unleashed their attacks.

"Beasts are just beasts. Taste your Feather Grandpa's attack!"

The Black Feather Clan expert, Yu Ming, spread his wings, and countless black feathers shot towards Ape Zhan like sharp arrows.

"Are you trying to tickle me?!"

Ape Zhan roared, swinging his arms, muscles bulging under his black fur, knocking down most of the black feathers, but some still pierced his flesh, oozing dark red blood.

However, Ape Zhan didn't care; he exerted slight force to shake off the remaining black feathers, and his injuries quickly recovered.

"My King said that this cannot disturb his Breakthrough; all of you shall stay!"

With that, Ape Zhan took the initiative to attack; Bone You and Yu Ming exchanged a ferocious smile and directly met him.

"Then you shall die!"

And the Thorn Demon Clan expert let out a sharp laugh, suddenly accelerating its roll, flying past Ape Zhan and soaring into the sky; their target was precisely Zhu Jianhua.

Zhou Rong's face changed drastically; just as he was about to act, a figure as swift as lightning directly kicked him away.

"This path is blocked!"

It was Thunder Leopard who struck, but the kicked-away Thorn Demon Clan expert suddenly unfurled its body, and countless sharp thorns shot out like a rainstorm in all directions.

Thunder Leopard dodged agilely but was still grazed by a few thorns, and scorched marks immediately appeared on its electric-glowing fur.

"King Realm Late Stage?"

Bai Yuan saw clearly from a distance, "These Foreign Race and Demonic Beasts are all King Realm Late Stage. Have their strengths increased so much?"

Even more unsettling was that as the battle deepened, Bone You's aura was steadily rising, seemingly on the verge of breaking through some limitation at any moment.

"Not good!"

Bai Yuan suddenly realized something, "That Bone Clan expert was hiding his strength!"

As if to confirm his guess, Bone You suddenly tilted its head back and let out a non-human shriek, ice crystals furiously swirling around its body.

It pressed its hands together, and a long spear made entirely of ice formed between its palms.

"Half-Step Emperor Realm?!" Zhou Rong's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, follow me and stop him!"

The ice spear broke through the air, freezing the atmosphere wherever it passed.

Thunder Leopard and Ape Zhan tried to block it but were tightly entangled by the Black Feather Clan, Thorn Demon Clan, and the remaining two Bone Clan experts.

Under Zhou Rong's furious roar, all eight Blood Disciple Eight Seats gathered, their blood energy surging, instantly condensing into a bloody shield.

"Clang—!"

The ice spear struck the light shield, emitting a deafening roar.

Zhou Rong and the others all grunted in unison, traces of blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the light shield, but it finally blocked this fatal blow.

"Hmph, let's see how many hits you can block!"

Bone You powerfully attacked with the ice spear in hand; Zhou Rong and the other eight, knowing they were no match, joined forces to resist, only seeking to buy time.

"Blood Fiend Great Array!"

Zhou Rong roared, and the eight instantly changed positions.

Dark red patterns extended from each person's feet, interweaving into a complex array pattern in the void.

The air was filled with a strong metallic scent, the murderous aura accumulated from countless living beings' blood.

When Bone You's ice spear struck for the second time, it seemed to sink into viscous blood, its speed drastically reduced.

"Interesting."

The azure flames in Bone You's eye sockets flickered slightly. "But you think this will—"

Before he could finish, a earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the bloody storm.

Zhu Jianhua's figure slowly stood up in the storm, the scarlet light around him having condensed into substantial armor.

When he opened his eyes, two blood-red rainbows pierced the sky, directly tearing a huge gap in the dark clouds covering the Forbidden Ground.
