36: Chapter 36 Great Battle

On the other side, the Grand Elder of the Zhou Family let out an angry shout and immediately gathered all the remaining Peak Martial Saint experts from the five major Saint-Grade forces. They formed a battle formation, desperately holding back the other seven Extra-territorial Heavenly Demon Martial Gods.

This was your first time seeing the Grand Elder of the Zhou Family, but the pressure from the Martial Gods in the sky was too overwhelming. You could only make out her back, and she looked very much like Mu Xue.

However, there was no time to worry about that now.

In terms of numbers, you actually held a huge advantage. While your top combat power, like the Martial Gods, could not compare to the Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons, your mid-tier combat power was actually several times that of the enemy.

You stood at the front of the army, your Late Stage Martial Saint Aura erupting around you. Behind you was a Grandmaster squad composed of 150 people.

It wasn't just you; generals stood one after another at the front of their respective formations.

The Auras of countless Martial Artists rose, and the lowest-ranked among the army were Innate Grandmasters.

The Auras intertwined, forming a majestic Aura. It felt as if the air itself was ignited, and the ground beneath your feet trembled slightly.

You exchanged a glance with a general beside you, who was also a Late Stage Martial Saint.

You both shared a knowing smile and simultaneously raised the longswords in your hands.

The blades glinted with a cold light under the daylight, piercing the silence of the battlefield.

"Kill—"

You took the lead, wielding your longsword, and slaughtered the few Innate Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons that rushed up as if you were chopping vegetables.

Your figure wove through the Heavenly Demons. Wherever your blade passed, the bodies of the Heavenly Demons were cleaved in two, and black blood splattered onto your robes.

In the distance, generals on other front lines also led their troops to attack, and in an instant, blood filled the entire world.

A few Heavenly Demons saw that they could not win from the front and tried to sneak around to the rear for an ambush, but they were wiped out in one fell swoop by the Grandmaster squad that had long been lying in wait.

Among the Heavenly Demons, there was an old man with a heavy Aura, appearing to be at the Martial Saint cultivation level. He held a large bell, and with every strike, soldiers died under the sound of the bell.

Moreover, this guy's attacks did not distinguish between friend or foe; he did not even consider his own people.

You did not hesitate in the slightest. You exchanged a glance with a Martial Saint from the Liehuo Sect beside you, and in a pincer movement, you surrounded the old man.

The Liehuo Sect Martial Saint struck first. A flaming long saber slashed out horizontally, and raging waves of fire swept toward the old man.

You followed closely behind, your figure flashing like lightning to the other side. You poured all your strength into your longsword, and a brilliant golden light shone on the blade.

The old man dodged the Liehuo Sect Martial Saint's attack with a flash, then struck the bell again, sending your longsword rebounding back.

From just that collision, you felt it: this old man was a Peak Martial Saint.

You wiped the blood flowing from the corner of your mouth.

"There is a Peak Martial Saint here!" you shouted to the side.

You knew that relying solely on yourself and this Liehuo Sect Martial Saint to deal with the old man would inevitably come at a price.

But why fight one-on-one when you can gang up?

As soon as you finished speaking, several hurried footsteps came from around you.

The first to appear were two Martial Saints from Danwang Valley, both dressed in plain white robes. As soon as they arrived, they locked onto the old man. Following them was the Li Family Martial Saint, wearing dark-colored martial attire with a long saber at their waist, their whole body exuding sharp Killing Intent. Finally, the Zhou Family Martial Saint arrived, holding a Halberd, their eyes sharp.

The old man was surrounded by the six of you, and a trace of nervousness appeared in his heart. He looked around.

As you had said from the beginning, your mid-tier strength was several times that of the Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons.

The Peak Martial Saint powerhouses among the Extra-territorial Heavenly Demons were all being besieged at this moment.

"Take my blade!" The Li Family Martial Saint was the first to draw their saber and charge forward.

"Damn it." The old man wanted to strike the large bell again.

But you naturally would not give him that chance. You stepped forward, as fast as lightning, and stabbed your sword into the old man's wrist.

The old man glanced at you and threw the large bell into the air. The bell formed a huge cover, enclosing him inside.

Although the six of you Martial Saints were cooperating for the first time, your synergy was excellent. In an instant, five Martial Saint-level attacks struck the exact same spot.

A gap appeared in the old man's defensive shield.

Naturally, you had no intention of letting this opportunity slip by; the longsword in your hand had long since been enveloped by Spiritual Qi.

The Sword Qi was like a rainbow.

You slashed your sword onto the weak point your companions had created for you.

You poured your Spiritual Qi into the longsword as if your life depended on it. The old man was completely panicked now; he reached out to stabilize the bell's defensive shield.

"Damn it, not enough Spiritual Qi!" you shouted to the people behind you.

"General Lin, we are here to help you!" The two Danwang Valley Martial Saints consumed a Medicinal Pill for recovery. Two streams of pure Spiritual Qi erupted from their bodies, like two warm currents, instantly converging behind you.

"Still not enough!" you continued to shout to those behind you.

"We are here too!" The other three Martial Saints arrived behind you, channeling Spiritual Qi to you.

"Still not enough!" you continued to shout.

You had not expected this turtle shell to be so hard. You felt the backlash from the defensive shield pouring back frantically, crashing along your longsword and slamming into your Meridians. Every inch of your bones and muscles felt like they were being struck repeatedly by heavy hammers.

However, you still did not reduce your force. At worst, it was just death; who was afraid of who?

"General Lin, there's us too." A Grandmaster squad arrived behind you at this moment.

A Grandmaster squad was usually composed of 150 people, but you could see that this team now had fewer than 50 people left.

Clearly, they had just been through a great battle, but they still did not hesitate in the slightest, channeling the Spiritual Qi within their bodies onto your longsword.

"You turtle shell, break for me!!!!" you roared, putting force into your wrist.

"Don't waste your effort, you natives." The old man laughed hoarsely: "This is a Magical Artifact refined by a Golden Core Old Ancestor; how could you Foundation Establishment cultivators possibly break it?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the sneer on his face froze instantly. His pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in shock: "How is this possible!"

At this moment, your Battle Intent soared, and your Aura suddenly skyrocketed.

Your cultivation reached the Peak Martial Saint level.

"Break for me!" you shouted!

"Break for me!" the other five Martial Saints shouted.

"Break for me!" nearly fifty Grandmasters shouted.

"Crack, crack, crack—" The defensive shield formed by the large bell was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

"No—this is impossible!!" the old man shrieked miserably amidst the shattering halo.

The next moment, your longsword arrived, cutting through the air, and you twisted your wrist.

The old man's head fell to the ground.

Just at this moment, a general in the distance also beheaded a Peak Martial Saint Extra-territorial Heavenly Demon.

His long spear pierced and shattered the heart of that Extra-territorial Heavenly Demon.

You both exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
