Chapter 6498 Cui Bo
The Bloodthirsty Stone Devil leader was covered in criss-crossing lines of Sword Qi. A gaping hole marred his chest, from which a strange liquid seeped.
The Bloodthirsty Stone Devils were among the races most easily bewitched by spiritual attacks. After charging recklessly to the front, they were cut down by the Dragonblood Legion. Even their formidable defenses couldn’t save them.
Now, only the leader remained. Seeing that all his kin had been massacred, he unleashed a secret art to find the one responsible for this and immediately locked onto a cloaked figure in the distance.
The cloaked man held a flute; his face was so ordinary that it seemed to blend into the crowd. Yet, his foxlike eyes and the faint mocking curl of his lips exuded a schemer’s arrogance.
The Bloodthirsty Stone Devil leader roared and charged at him, consumed by rage. But he had already forgotten that anyone capable of bewitching an entire race into their deaths had to be an unimaginably dangerous existence.
“What a useless fool. You couldn’t even deal with a bunch of ants?” the man sneered, raising his flute.
Following that, a strange sound wave burst forth—
BOOM!
The Bloodthirsty Stone Devil leader was blasted back just like that. All of a sudden, the runes in his body blazed. His aura grew more and more violent as he flew toward the Dragonblood Legion.
“Not good!”
Song Mingyuan’s expression changed slightly. He could tell that the moment the sound wave struck, the Bloodthirsty Stone Devil leader’s soul was taken under control. With his runes ignited, he prepared to self-detonate.
In response, Song Mingyuan quickly formed a series of hand seals. One of his earthen giants charged to the front, raising both hands to block the impact.
BOOM!
The earthen giant’s hands exploded, and the residual impact blasted a hole in its chest.
The explosion was terrifying—far beyond what the Stone Devil should have been capable of. That flute-wielding man had clearly empowered him for this one suicidal strike.
The Bloodthirsty Stone Devil leader’s body turned to dust, leaving no trace behind.
“Dragonblood Legion, not bad,” the mysterious man said with a smirk. “But calling yourselves the number one legion of the nine heavens and ten lands? Laughable. You guys are just frogs at the bottom of the well. Although you blocked the first wave, you’ve exhausted much of your energy. How will you face so many half-step Sovereign Lords now?”
While grinning treacherously, the mysterious man slowly put his flute away.
Like he had said, in this battle, the Dragonblood Legion had slaughtered their enemies ferociously. Such a high-intensity battle would be very draining, physically and mentally.
But the mysterious man clearly did not understand the Dragonblood Legion.
Every single one of the Dragonblood warriors had been tempered by endless fierce battles. They thrived on being outnumbered. What others called an overwhelming siege was, to them, just a routine.
Moreover, while the enemies had been charging at the Dragonblood warriors ferociously, they posed no real threat. In this kind of situation, the Dragonblood warriors were more than able to recover their energy as they fought.
In the end, the intense battle had cost them next to nothing.
Still standing atop the bronze drum, Guo Ran looked at the mysterious man with contempt.
Guo Ran said, “Friend, since you like to hide and pull strings from the shadows, you must be from the Zither Sect, right? The four immemorial sects are supposed to be the pillars of the nine heavens and ten lands. Who would have thought that the Zither Sect would be colluding with the outsider devils! How disgraceful. Wilde, eat slower!”
Guo Ran’s final sentence was to Wilde. At his side, Wilde sat cross-legged, devouring food from a massive bowl that shimmered with spatial energy.
Upon closer inspection, everyone could see that this bowl was a spatial storage item, and it was packed with giant beast corpses. Each of them should be as big as a mountain, but they were compressed to finger-length inside the bowl.
Wilde stuffed seven or eight of them into his mouth at once. As he chewed, the crunch of breaking bones and bursting runes echoed through the air.
Seeing this, Guo Ran frowned, worried that Wilde would choke.
However, Wilde didn’t care to respond. He was starving and in a rush to get on the battlefield again, so he continued stuffing his mouth ravenously.
The man with the flute chuckled.
“You’re right. I am Cui Bo from the Zither Sect. But collusion? I wouldn’t dare. The Earth Cauldron is a divine treasure of heaven and earth. All lifeforms of the nine heavens are qualified to compete for it. As for Long Chen, he is a savage killer who has slaughtered many lifeforms of the ten thousand races, a devil who has declared war on the world. My Zither Sect stands for justice. We will seize the Earth Cauldron and avenge those he has slain.”
Outraged by Cui Bo’s words, Guo Ran couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Fuck, I’ve seen shameless people before, but you take the crown! The Zither Sect truly opens my eyes. I heard your so-called Prince Chun Yang claims to act on behalf of the heavens. Looks like you really believe your own nonsense. If you call someone evil, they’re evil? If you call someone good, they’re good? In this case, anyone who opposes your opinion is defying heaven, so you can kill them in heaven’s name, right? To think you could turn killing people for their treasures into bringing peace to the nine heavens, I’m impressed. You should just change your name to Master Bullshit.”
Shrugging indifferently, Cui Bo replied, “My Zither Sect communes with the music of the heavens and controls the Dao. No one understands the Heavenly Daos better than us. Every note, every action we take follows heaven’s will. You, on the other hand, constantly defy the heavens and slaughter others. The likes of you can’t possess the Earth Cauldron.
“It is time to give the Earth Caudron a chance to pick a new master. Everyone here will have a chance, so who becomes the true master of the Earth Cauldron will be up to each person’s luck. Allow me to test out the Dragonblood Legion’s power for everyone.”
The essence rune on Cui Bo’s forehead flared as he raised his flute. Then, a low hum rippled through the air.
The entire world twisted and turned on its head. Reality seemed to flip upside down.
Then, Cui Bo shot over to the Dragonblood Legion. A Dragonblood warrior stepped forward and met him with a clean slash—
However, before the blade could descend, the warrior’s expression suddenly changed.
