148: Chapter 148 Two armies clash, Lord of the Demon Eye Palace!

"Isn't that God-level Expert Ming Xiong?"

"Chen Dong! It's Chen Dong! God-level Expert Chen Dong!"

"Hiss! That one looks like Chu Qiang, also a God-level existence. Are they all uniformly God-level?!"

"No wonder these top-tier combatants were never seen during the National Defense War. It seems they were reserved for this battle!"

"Wait, what I just heard mentioned something about apprentices. Could it be that these God-level big shots are still just apprentices?!"

At this moment.

From the human perspective.

Looking at these terrifying human figures, all of humanity couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of shock.

Because they had never seen so many God-level Experts appear together at once!

Simultaneously, some people also noticed that wild, primal utterance from earlier.

The God-level Experts in their eyes were actually considered mere apprentices on a cosmic scale. This was truly unbelievable.

And before everyone could lament the insignificance of Blue Star.

Soon.

When everyone saw a man among them with graying hair but a robust physique.

Endless cheers and cries of excitement began to rise from all corners of Great Xia.

"Look, is that... Duke Yu?!"

"Am I seeing things? Is that really Duke Yu? The Duke Yu from the history books!!"

"My heavens! It really is Duke Yu! He's actually still alive!"

"Duke Yu led us into the era of universal cultivation. Now, he has actually reappeared on the battlefield of the Civilization Assessment!"

"It's Duke Yu! We are saved!"

That's right.

Duke Yu's identity was clearly recognized.

And for everyone in Great Xia, Duke Yu symbolized a totem, a totem of hope!

Because on that once hopeless land of Great Xia, it was Duke Yu who brought them the spark of hope, allowing Great Xia to become as powerful as it is today, even becoming the sole survivor for all of humanity.

At this moment.

The Citizens of Great Xia, who had been filled with endless worry, were all immensely invigorated.

The voices of concern everywhere now all turned into cheers and shouts of encouragement for the human camp.

As for Li Fan and the others here...

Currently, Li Fan and the group were still within the red mist. They could sense no information from the outside world.

They couldn't even determine where they were now.

For a moment.

A faint trace of panic began to sweep through the group.

However, before the spark of panic could ignite, it was extinguished by Bo Jun.

"Everyone, calm down! It's probably not our turn yet. It's equivalent to waiting backstage here."

"Your families, your clansmen, and all the people of Great Xia might be watching you from outside. So, if you don't want to lose face, show your courage!"

Bo Jun's words were calm, carrying a hint of anger.

But the effect was remarkably significant.

Everyone immediately quieted down, and their emotions gradually stabilized.

This scene couldn't help but improve Li Fan's impression of Bo Jun by several degrees.

Bo Jun's initial impression on him was of being rather taciturn and very aloof.

But at critical moments, this Bo Jun did not spare words. Like a stabilizing pillar, he steadied the situation, fulfilling the responsibility of a leader.

Truly worthy of the title of genius!

And then.

After Li Fan surveyed the surrounding circle of red mist, he couldn't help but start worrying about his parents in his heart.

He couldn't see the outside world now, so naturally, he couldn't see those Alien Race fellows either.

Annihilation Eye naturally couldn't be used either.

So, for now, they could only rely on themselves.

...

Shifting the gaze back to the Pure Land platform at this moment.

On both sides of the platform.

The Alien Race Hall Master and Duke Yu and the others faced each other across the platform, the smell of gunpowder already thick in the air.

In terms of numbers, the Alien Race side had over a dozen more people than the human side.

However, judging by their auras, the two sides were not far apart.

And before either side could issue challenges.

With two flashes of white light.

One person from each camp was teleported onto the platform.

This scene.

Indeed caused both sides' expressions to change slightly.

"Not good, it seems the order of taking the stage is random."

Li Daguo frowned tightly at this moment.

He originally wanted to go first, aiming for an opening victory to boost the morale of the human side, and incidentally force out the opponent's strongest fighter.

But he never expected.

The order of appearance could not be decided by themselves.

On the platform now, the one selected from their human camp was Liu Hezheng, a God-level Expert, considered of average level within their camp.

The one selected from the Alien Race side was an eight-tentacled creature with a purple head. Dense pupils could be seen on each long tentacle, its appearance appearing extremely bizarre and unsettling.

It was a Hall Master from the Alien Race's Sea Tribe. Judging by its aura, it was also within the God-level range.

As soon as both sides stepped onto the platform.

Killing intent soared to the sky.

And the people of both sides watching this scene now began to cheer for the experts of their respective camps.

"The first to fight is our tribe's Demon Eye Hall Master!!"

"It's actually the Demon Eye Hall Master. Looks like that human opposite is in for trouble, hahahaha!"

"That's right. The Demon Eye Hall Master is notoriously unpredictable, often killing opponents without them even realizing it, even able to induce them to commit suicide!"

"It's in the bag! Next is the Demon Eye Hall Master's performance time!"

Among the Alien Race.

Seeing their own senior taking the field, waves of cheers now erupted.

Clearly.

This Demon Eye Hall Master was quite renowned within their Sea Tribe.

And similar to the Alien Race.

Within the human camp, there was also great excitement about Liu Hezheng taking the field.

"It's God Liu!"

"The first to fight is actually God Liu!"

"God Liu seems to have a fire attribute talent, right? That's perfect for roasting octopus!"

"Go God Liu! Kill the opponent!"

"To be honest, this Alien Race octopus looks truly terrifying. Its strength seems not to be underestimated. If God Liu isn't careful, he might suffer a heavy blow!"

"Go to hell! Are you boosting the enemy's morale here?! God Liu will definitely win!"

Liu Hezheng was also a God-level big shot quite famous in Great Xia, and one who rose to fame relatively early. Among the Citizens of Great Xia, he held the title of God Liu.

Liu Hezheng's appearance truly gave the people of Great Xia a strong shot of confidence!

And during the time both sides' people were cheering and celebrating.

On the platform, the battle between the two was already on the verge of erupting.

"Human, do you think you are my match?" The Demon Eye Hall Master's tentacles churned incessantly as it uttered a contemptuous phrase.

"Hmph! You..." Liu Hezheng really wanted to retort.

Suddenly, the scene before his eyes transformed into the mountain village of his childhood. The Demon Eye Hall Master standing there actually turned into his grandfather, who had raised him alone and had long since passed away.

Grandfather looked gently into his eyes, kindly reached out to pat his head, then wanted to take his hand and lead him to the shade under that familiar jujube tree.

"Wake up quickly, it's an illusion!"

A momentary daze finally made Liu Hezheng come to his senses.

But the realization came too late.

At this moment, the Demon Eye Hall Master had already closed in on him.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Eight tentacles, like eight sharp arrows, instantly pierced through Liu Hezheng's body.

The horrifying scene.

Caused everyone in the human camp to turn pale with shock.

And also made Liu Hezheng completely sober up.

Actually, the time it took for Liu Hezheng to snap out of the illusion was extremely short, almost just a blink of an eye.

But in a duel between experts, a blink of an eye is often enough to determine life or death.
