233: Heroic Sacrifice

Ning Mengqi said softly, "Thank you, Seniors!"

Immediately, the two demons flew before the Demon-Rejecting Pass and simultaneously launched their strongest attacks.

The other eleven Martial Saints also joined in, and the Human Race and demon sides once again engaged in a struggle.

This time, the ripples on the Spirit of Valor Realm were even more pronounced, as if it could shatter at any moment.

Lin Wanqing held Lu Xingchen's hand, her voice filled with anxiety, and said in a deep voice, "Big Strong One, what should we do now? Two Saints of Gold and Silver are too strong!"

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile and said, "What can I do? We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal slaying sword in his hand began to tremble.

Lu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat.

The immortal slaying sword actually sensed Senior Xiao Yuxin's Soul Imprint at this moment!

But with such a powerful enemy before him, he had no time to accept the Legacy.

Following the immortal slaying sword's Sword Intent, he looked up and saw a graceful woman appear on the city wall.

The woman's body was ethereal, a Soul body, but she had powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

Xu Chengyang had been the Lord of the Demon-Rejecting Pass for many years, had personally seen Xiao Yuxin during the Fourth Human-Demon War, and had even spoken with her.

Therefore, he recognized Xiao Yuxin at a glance.

"It's Lady Xiao Yuxin! You're not dead? No, this is just a Soul Imprint."

Xiao Yuxin flew towards Lu Xingchen and greeted Xu Chengyang.

"Xiaoyang, you've finally also achieved a Breakthrough to a Saint!"

Seeing an old friend, Xu Chengyang was incredibly emotional, his eyes slightly red.

"Lady Xiao Yuxin, I'm sorry. I failed to guard the Demon-Rejecting Pass, causing more than half of the Human Race's soldiers to die on the battlefield."

Xiao Yuxin chuckled and said, "I don't blame you. I understand your capabilities. If even you couldn't handle this war, then no one else could have either."

"Besides, don't I still have me?"

With that, Xiao Yuxin turned to look at Lu Xingchen.

"Lu Xingchen, this Soul Imprint of mine won't last much longer, and I can't participate in battle. But I can burn my Soul Imprint and, using the immortal slaying sword as a medium, infuse my power into you."

"The burden of defeating Two Saints of Gold and Silver will fall upon you."

Upon hearing this, everyone else was greatly surprised.

So, the immortal slaying sword was already in Lu Xingchen's hands!

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "This Junior will do his best."

Xiao Yuxin said no more, burning her Soul Imprint, her figure becoming increasingly ethereal.

At the same time, powerful spiritual energy erupted from her, guided by the immortal slaying sword, and infused into Lu Xingchen's body.

Lu Xingchen's Realm rapidly ascended.

Martial Ancestor, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint.

That's right, after receiving Xiao Yuxin's power, his Realm directly achieved a Breakthrough to a Saint.

Of course, this was only temporary.

Once Xiao Yuxin's Soul Imprint completely dissipated, this power would also slowly disappear.

Lu Xingchen spread his Dou Qi Wings, flew in front of Two Saints of Gold and Silver, pointed the immortal slaying sword forward, and said in a deep voice, "Two Saints of Gold and Silver, if you want to break through the Demon-Rejecting Pass, you'll have to step over my corpse first!"

Seeing Lu Xingchen step forward, the Human Race warriors within the Demon-Rejecting Pass were all incredibly shocked.

"Another Saint has appeared in our Human Race! Who is he? Can he contend with Two Saints of Gold and Silver?"

"We all saw Lady Xiao Yuxin's Soul Imprint just now. To gain her approval, it can only be the fifth God of War!"

"Every Human-Demon War sees the appearance of a God of War. I thought this time would be an exception, but I didn't expect our God of War to appear once again!"

"When the God of War appears, the Human Race prospers! The Demon-Rejecting Pass can definitely be defended!"

"It's just that the aura on this God of War is far inferior to Two Saints of Gold and Silver. He's too young, his foundation too shallow. It will probably be very difficult to defeat Two Saints of Gold and Silver."

On the city wall, listening to the discussions around her, Yun Li's small mouth was slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief.

Of course, she wouldn't mistake her own man.

Although the distance was great, she could still guess that the one confronting Two Saints of Gold and Silver was none other than Lu Xingchen, with whom she had recently confirmed her relationship!

Even during a casual chat with Hua Li, she had mentioned that Lu Xingchen had the Talent of a God of War, but that was just an offhand remark.

Yet, she never expected that her own man had truly become a God of War now.

The fifth God of War of the Human Race!

This was simply too incredible!

Two Saints of Gold and Silver also frowned deeply.

Gold Saint said in a deep voice, "Young in age, with the strength of a Martial Saint, and having received Xiao Yuxin's approval. You must be the fifth God of War of the Human Race, right? Young man, what is your name?"

"Inner Sect Disciple of Cangxuan Sect, Lu Xingchen!"

"Hahaha! Good! What a Lu Xingchen! Today, breaking through the Demon-Rejecting Pass, slaying Kindling, and eliminating the Human Race War God—these three great achievements will all be claimed by us brothers. Even if my life is short, I, Dragon Gold, will die without regrets!"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Are you really that confident?"

Gold Saint said with a laugh, "Young man, you are too young. Even if you absorbed Xiao Yuxin's residual power, you only temporarily possess the power of a Three-Star Martial Saint. There are also strengths and weaknesses among Saints. We brothers have both reached the Realm of an Eight-Star Martial Saint. Killing you is as easy as picking something from a pouch."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen's brows furrowed.

Two Saints of Gold and Silver were telling the truth; he was indeed not their opponent right now.

But bearing the high hopes of Senior Xiao Yuxin and the Human Race warriors, how could he retreat?

At worst, it was just a single thread!

Just then, another figure appeared on the city wall.

The third God of War of the Human Race, Li Xuejun!

He looked deeply at Lu Xingchen, said not a word, and burned his Soul Imprint.

Powerful spiritual energy once again infused into Lu Xingchen's body.

Then came the second God of War of the Human Race, Xu Chengbing!

He likewise burned his Soul Imprint, infusing spiritual energy into Lu Xingchen's body.

Then came the first God of War of the Human Race, and also the builder of the Demon-Rejecting Pass, Zhang Xiaofan!

He did not immediately burn his Soul Imprint, but instead flew in front of the The Two Elders Jin Yin and said with a smile, "The Two Elders Jin Yin, you two old undying ones, still trying to invade our Human Race?"

Gold Saint said in a deep voice, "That's still not as good as you! Zhang Xiaofan, you've been dead for so long, and you still come out to pretend to be alive!"

Zhang Xiaofan chuckled and said, "In that battle a hundred years ago, I lost to you. Fortunately, our Human Race has successors. Now, let my successor contend with you once more!"

With that, Zhang Xiaofan looked at Lu Xingchen and said with a smile, "Young man, your courage is quite good. Let me help you out!"

With that, Zhang Xiaofan also burned his Soul Imprint, and powerful spiritual energy once again poured into Lu Xingchen's body.

Relying on the sacrifice of the four Gods of War, Lu Xingchen's Realm greatly improved, reaching the level of an Eight-Star Martial Saint, on par with the The Two Elders Jin Yin.

With all four Gods of War returning for a limited time, the fighting spirit of the Human Race warriors on the city wall was ignited, cheering and shouting for Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen looked at the The Two Elders Jin Yin and said with a smile, "You two old fellows, let's clash now!"
