Chapter 6495 Four Captains Descend
“Scram!”
Seeing someone get in his way, Kun Li roared and ignited his Blood Qi. He was beyond nervous at this point. After all, the treasure countless experts dreamed of obtaining was right in front of him.
If he could seize it, he could defy fate itself and ascend to the peak of the nine heavens in one go. No one could resist such temptation.
As the first to arrive and the closest to the Earth Cauldron, Kun Li had to strike before others interfered. Seeing someone block his path—a cultivator who hadn’t even condensed a complete essence rune—he couldn’t hide the disdain in his eyes. Without hesitation, he threw a thunderous punch.
The thoughts of having the Earth Cauldron filled Kun Li’s mind. He didn’t even bother remembering what Gu Yang had just said.
A dragon-shaped rune ignited on Gu Yang’s forehead. His Blood Qi erupted like a raging dragon awakening from its slumber. Then, thunder rumbled through the void as a blood-colored mark appeared beneath his feet, forming a platform of energy.
As Kun Li charged closer, Gu Yang snorted and met him head-on. His arm shimmered with dragon scales as he unleashed a punch of his own.
BOOM!
The ten thousand Daos quaked. The impact thundered through the battlefield as Kun Li grunted, blown backward through the air.
“What?!”
Everyone from the Kunpeng race was stunned. None of them could believe what they had just seen.
Although Kun Gang’s subordinates didn’t like Kun Li, they knew just how terrifying he was. The Kunpeng race had always focused on their physique and brute strength, so not many demon races could challenge them in this regard.
Moreover, Kun Li had already condensed a complete essence rune and wielded the power of laws. His fusion of Blood Qi and law power should have been unstoppable.
However, Gu Yang actually blew Kun Li back, while he stood like an immovable mountain in his spot. At this sight, countless people were stunned.
“Heavens! A Dragonblood Legion captain without a complete essence rune just overpowered a half-step Sovereign Lord?! Isn’t that ridiculous?”
Gasps spread across the battlefield. When Wilde had earlier crushed Ku Jian and Ku Qian, they thought he was a monster. But now, faced with Gu Yang’s feat, they found it completely unfathomable.
Although they were not half-step Sovereign Lords, based on the pressures and auras from the top experts, they could tell who was stronger or weaker. Kun Li’s aura dwarfed that of Ku Jian and Ku Qian combined. Even the two of them combined couldn’t match Kun Li.
Thus, when Kun Li appeared, Kun Gang turned ashen, because he knew no one stood a chance against him.
However, no one had expected some baldie to suddenly appear and blow him back.
“The Dragonblood Legion is said to be the number one legion in the nine heavens and ten lands, and this person just called himself their first captain. Heavens, Long Chen actually has such a terrifying subordinate!” exclaimed an outsider expert.
Not everyone had the patience to gather information on Long Chen, especially those who were so strong that they viewed themselves as unmatched existences. To such beings, gathering information on others was beneath them.
Long Chen’s fame was so great because he had personally shattered the laws of the heaven region’s battlefield by breaking the scales, which was how the outsider experts knew of him. Yet, their attention was mostly fixed on his Earth Cauldron. As for Long Chen himself, the peak experts barely cared.
In truth, many believed that anyone who struggled so much to break the scales even with such a heaven-defying treasure was little more than trash. Some of them had heard of the Dragonblood Legion, but upon learning it was merely a force under Long Chen’s command, they couldn’t even bother investigating more.
That changed the moment Gu Yang appeared. His single punch sent shockwaves through the battlefield and through every heart watching. All of a sudden, the name “Dragonblood Legion” carried terrifying weight.
Kun Li was blasted miles away before managing to steady himself. As he regained his footing, another half-step Sovereign Lord charged toward the Earth Cauldron from another direction.
Kun Li was enraged, but he paused and didn’t attack Gu Yang.
That last exchange had left his chest aching—he had never encountered such an overwhelming opponent. When he saw the newcomer closing in, he decided to wait. Perhaps Gu Yang would block him and give Kun Li a chance to strike.
However, Gu Yang just stood there. The rune beneath his feet was like a mountain locked in place. He didn’t even look at the newcomer.
“Damn it!” cursed Kun Li.
Seeing Gu Yang just staring at him, Kun Li was outraged. Killing intent exploded out of him. If he didn’t crush Gu Yang now, he would lose his chance at the Earth Cauldron forever.
BOOM!
Just as Kun Li gathered his strength, a violet light burst through the void. A crystalline leg smashed into the rushing half-step Sovereign Lord, sending him flying as blood sprayed through the air.
Everyone was shocked to see a monstrosity covered in crystals. Its skin was crystalline, and its eyes gleamed like emotionless gems.
After kicking away Kun Li, the crystalline monstrosity spoke. “Long Chen’s subordinate, the Dragonblood Legion’s second captain—Li Qi!”
BOOM!
Another thunderous explosion shook the field. In a different direction, a massive giant swung a golden club, creating twin ripples through space. Two half-step Sovereign Lords were smashed aside like toys.
The giant wielded a golden club, and its whole body was brownish yellow like a statue made of mud. Millions of runes covered his skin, forming the illusion of a battle robe. The power of the earth pulsed through it, and waves of energy radiated from it like a living mountain.
Ripples continuously spread from its giant form. Its powerful aura made others feel miniscule.
Standing on the giant’s shoulder was a man who calmly announced, “Long Chen’s subordinate, the Dragonblood Legion’s third captain—Song Mingyuan!”
Before the crowd could even process what was happening, another shockwave ripped through the battlefield.
BOOM!
A chilly light sliced through the sky. Two figures were cut to pieces along with their weapons.
The battlefield instantly fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes almost popped out. Two half-step Sovereign Lords from the same race had joined forces, but they both fell in one blow.
Standing before their remains stood a man calmly sheathing his sword. The soft click echoed louder than thunder, cutting through the clamor of war.
That strike seemed to split time and space itself, freezing every gaze upon him.
“Long Chen’s subordinate, the Dragonblood Legion’s fourth captain—Yue Zifeng.”
Yue Zifeng’s voice was like divine judgment, echoing across the battlefield and searing itself into every soul that heard it.
