A fierce battle

“Bang!”

A violent sound was accompanied by the demise of an unknown alien.

“Young Master, this is already the fourth wave of enemies to appear during this period.”

Su Daji held a sharp blade, stabbing the enemy in front of her to death.

During this time,

she and Lin Xiao had encountered several assassination attempts, all from inexplicable enemies.

Initially, they were puzzled, because they had never seen these enemies before.

Only later did they realize

that the root of the problem lay with Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao showed no remorse upon learning that he was on the kill list of several major factions.

These so-called assassins were too weak; the highest rank among them was merely Martial King level.

If such words were to spread, they would undoubtedly shock countless people.

Are you even human?

What do you mean ‘merely Martial King level’?

One must know that even at Zhenlong Pass, Martial Kings are not common.

For any race, Martial Kings are the absolute backbone.

Every existence capable of breaking through to Martial King is considered a Prodigy in the eyes of others.

“What are those major factions planning?”

They are aware of their own strength; even their own Martial Venerables were destroyed. What’s the difference between these Martial Kings coming and just delivering food?

Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

Clearly, there was definitely something fishy going on.

Do they intend to wear him down with a human wave tactic?

Well, that’s too bad, because what I fear least is a war of attrition!

The Qi within his body was like a surging river, endless and inexhaustible; it simply couldn't be depleted.

“Since they want to die, let them come. They’ll just provide us with resources!”

Lin Xiao spoke calmly.

Perhaps a single person doesn't carry many treasures, but there’s no stopping the sheer volume when hundreds and thousands of people rush to deliver resources.

Lin Xiao declared that he had never fought such a rich battle!

Su Daji nodded, following behind him.

During this period, she also gained many resources, and the Young Master was very generous, which made her secretly happy.

It seemed the Young Master trusted her more and more.

Su Daji, you must work hard to show the Young Master your value and strive to become his right-hand woman!

...Eastern battlefield.

Here, war raged, and countless bones lay strewn across the fields; there were Demon Race bones and Dragon Kingdom bones.

The battle was extremely fierce, having reached a critical point!

Every minute, every second, someone could fall.

Whether Dragon Kingdom or the Demon Race, the younger generation suffered immense losses!

Especially the Dragon Kingdom.

The hongmeng prodigy list appeared too coincidentally.

It just happened to coincide with the Dragon Kingdom's war against the Four Great Factions; this was adding fuel to the fire!

The entire younger generation of the Dragon Kingdom simultaneously fighting the Four Great Factions was under immense pressure!

On the battlefield,

Qin Li fought with broad, sweeping movements.

With every strike, a Demon Race member would be cut down, their blood staining the sky.

Gulis did not forcefully confront him head-on, because he realized that his old opponent's strength was now far greater than before.

Forcing a confrontation would easily put him in a passive state.

Moreover, there were many Demon Race members!

One would die one second, and a new one would immediately take their place the next.

They were using the strength of an entire race to fight a quarter of the Dragon Kingdom's forces!

The advantage was immense.

“Qin Li, you won’t last much longer!”

Gulis resisted fiercely while also verbally harassing him.

He attempted to use psychological warfare to break Qin Li's Dao Heart.

But Qin Li's Dao Heart was extremely firm, completely unaffected by any interference.

However, after fighting for so long, he also felt intense fatigue, and slight marks appeared again on the blade of his sword.

He looked around.

At this moment, the Awakened Ones of the Dragon Kingdom's younger generation were already far fewer than when they arrived.

These vanished Awakened Ones might never appear before him again.

His gaze fell upon an Awakened One in the distance, whose eyes were filled with ferocity.

With both hands, he clutched a Demon Race member tightly, crimson blood staining his black hair, and he continuously roared in anger.

“Damn bastards, go to Hell with me, hahaha!!!”

Amidst a roar,

this Awakened One self-destructed!

Clutching a Demon Race member tightly, he charged into a group of Demon Race members, resolutely initiating his self-destruction!

A violent explosion resounded across the land.

The terrifying波動 directly killed several Demon Race members.

This Awakened One was also a Prodigy of the Dragon Kingdom; he had even exchanged a few words with Qin Li on the way here.

Qin Li stared fixedly at this scene.

Memories of their arrival flashed through his mind.

“Brother Qin, you’ve always been my idol. During this young generation’s campaign, I, Wang Meng, will always follow you, Brother Qin, and witness with my own eyes the scene of you defeating your enemies and reaching the Peak!”

“Brother Qin, do you think this trip will be very dangerous? I still have an elderly mother at home, and my whole family depends on me.”

“Brother Qin, I’ve decided! No matter what, I, Wang Meng, will also kill a few Demon Race bastards. Killing one is not a loss, killing two is a huge profit!”

“Brother Qin, if only I could be as strong as you…”

“Brother Qin…”

Those scenes flashed through his mind.

He still remembered the first day they met, the youth's face full of youthful vigor, brimming with aspirations for the future, and reckless courage.

His clear eyes were filled with admiration for himself and anger towards the enemy.

“I, Qin Li, will bring you back safely!”

This was the promise he had given the other party back then.

If he remembered correctly, the other party had been happy for a long time after he said it, because his idol was utterly dominant, exuding an invincible aura, and he was very proud!

But now,

this youth resolutely charged towards the Demon Race, self-destructing without hesitation, just to take a few more with him.

His face showed no fear of death.

Perhaps there was, hidden deep within his heart.

Not just here,

after Qin Li unleashed another full-force strike, he stood in the Void Realm.

He surveyed the surrounding battlefield.

He found that many people were already poised to act; they had fought to this point and were utterly exhausted.

Their Qi was almost depleted.

And the Demon Race was naturally thick-skinned, with constant reinforcements entering the fray.

They couldn't hold on much longer!

But even at this moment, no one chose to retreat.

Their eyes were bloodshot; they had watched their friends, who had come with them, die one after another before their eyes.

That grief was inexpressible.

They could only keep fighting, keep killing!

But they were not Prodigies; they were just ordinary Geniuses, slightly more powerful than common people.

Having held on this long, they were at their wit's end.

In their final moments before death, they would also, like Wang Meng, bravely charge towards the Demon Race and resolutely self-destruct!

This was the cruelty of racial warfare!

And the inevitable outcome of the struggle for Luck!

It's either you die or I live!

Outside the field,

the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom watched this scene in silence, having repeatedly wanted to rush forward and save those children.

But the Demon Race's high-ranking officials watched them closely.

Once they made a move, an even more terrifying battle would erupt, perhaps plunging the Dragon Kingdom into even greater danger.

“They are all still children!”

An old man on the battlefield shed tears, watching this scene as if the fallen Genius was his own kin.

“General, I can’t bear it anymore! Give the order! Go to war with the Demon Race!”

Someone roared in anger, looking at the Demon Race with eyes as sharp as knives; the coldness emanating from his gaze alone could freeze water.

“General!!”

Many people roared with all their might; they wanted to go to the front and kill the enemy!

But the leading general remained silent. This battle, their Dragon Kingdom could not fight!

If they made the first move, it would no longer be a campaign between the younger generations.

But a racial war between the Dragon Kingdom and the Demon Race!

This precedent could not be set, at least not now!

He had received news from the highest levels: no matter what happened, they were not allowed to act!

He had also strongly appealed, but the result was the same.

The explanation given by the Dragon Kingdom's highest echelons consisted of only two words:

“Lin Xiao!”

The general looked up at the sky, at the hongmeng prodigy list suspended in the Universe's starry sky, and the top spot belonged to Lin Xiao!
