Chapter 6768 Overkill
“Kill!”
Youlan, Qingwu, and the other divine sons burst through the flying shuttle’s barrier and were instantly swamped by an endless tide of Black Wing Toxic Bats.
They cut through the swarm like honed blades. Wherever they passed, the bats dissolved into black mist. They didn’t get bogged down; each strike carried them forward.
At this moment, Yuantu’s expression changed. Youlan and the others were going so fast that the flying shuttle couldn’t keep up with them.
Just then, the Golden Horn and Fullmoon races’ disciples followed behind their divine sons.
What shocked Yuantu was that these disciples plunged into this swarm of Black Wing Toxic Bats without hesitation. There was no fear in their eyes—only focus. Just like that, they left devastation in their wake.
The rest of the Rainbow Cloud Leopard race was also stunned.
None of them had expected the disciples of these two races to be so ferocious. Facing enemies that outnumbered them by more than a hundred to one, they were the ones slaughtering without pause. In such a short time, they carved straight through the enemy ranks without a single injury.
“Brother Wangshu, how are all your disciples so powerful?” Yuantu asked, awed.
This kind of battle instinct could not be taught. It could only be forged by long exposure to life-and-death pressure.
Yet, such training usually came at a terrible cost. Ninety-nine percent of the elites would have to die before such experts emerged. How could their seniors allow them to die like that?
“Actually... it was all thanks to Junior Brother Long Chen!” transmitted Li Wangshu.
Li Wangshu was a bit embarrassed. But since Yuantu was his sworn brother, he didn’t hide the cause. Still, the training involved one of Long Chen’s treasures, something that could not be disclosed, so he naturally didn’t mention that.
Of course, he felt bad keeping secrets from Yuantu, but he hoped Yuantu would be able to understand.
“Attack!”
Seeing how dominant their two races were, the Rainbow Cloud Leopard race’s experts also wanted to join in.
“Do not let them enter the battlefield just yet!” ordered Long Chen.
Yuantu immediately shouted, “Shut your mouths and watch! Anyone who dares to disobey will be executed!”
Yuantu was rarely so strict, so his roar instantly froze his disciples. Even the divine sons didn’t dare to make a sound.
Yuantu had lived countless years. Although he was part of the demon race, he was very intelligent and knew that Long Chen was doing this for the disciples’ benefit.
This was not a competition but a true battle. The Black Wing Toxic Bats were savage devils, not stepping stones for inexperienced youths.
Since the Rainbow Cloud Leopard disciples had seen the Fullmoon and Golden Horn races slaughtering the devils so effortlessly, they would inevitably underestimate the enemy. The moment they joined, that carelessness would cost countless lives.
They hadn’t even reached the Tiger Venerate ancestral land. If they were to take such a blow now, how would they fight when the real battle started?
Even if death awaited them in the final battle, they had to preserve their power before then.
BOOM!
As ice crystals filled the sky, Sovereign might raged through the air.
Yuantu’s expression changed.
“Ah, that child has fallen into a trap! There are seven acquired Divine Sovereigns around her!”
“Blue Flame Ice Burst!” Youlan shouted, forming hand seals.
Her essence rune ignited, and a blue waterfall crashed down, instantly freezing the surrounding space.
The seven acquired Divine Sovereigns of the Black Wing Toxic Bats froze. It had happened so quickly that they couldn’t even react.
“Explode!”
The ice fragments in the air detonated, and the impact sent the seven Divine Sovereigns hacking up blood. But instead of retreating, their eyes turned crimson. Flames erupted from their wings.
“They’re going to self-detonate!”
Yuantu, Jin Ming, and Li Wangshu were all alarmed. These Divine Sovereigns were shockingly temperamental. Driven into desperation, they intended to take Youlan with them.
Youlan had just unleashed a powerful divine ability and couldn’t spam another one.
There was no room for escape.
Qingwu tried to rush over, but it was too late. She stood frozen.
All of a sudden, Youlan felt a wave of regret. Her power had risen so much that she became overconfident. One mistake, and he was facing certain death.
Just then, a black streak of light shot through the void.
A sharp thorn weaved through the air, instantly piercing the seven acquired Divine Sovereigns of the Black Wing Toxic Bat race.
“Long Chen!”
Youlan recognized Zhi Zhi. After all, she had witnessed Zhi Zhi’s immense power before.
However, she hadn’t expected Zhi Zhi to be hiding its power. It instantly killed seven acquired Divine Sovereigns in one go.
In truth, she was overestimating Zhi Zhi.
Zhi Zhi was powerful, but such a feat would have been impossible under normal circumstances.
The seven acquired Divine Sovereigns had suffered heavy internal injuries. Having lost all reason and focused solely on self-destruction, they had only thought about taking Youlan with them. With their perception gone, Zhi Zhi could kill them in one blow.
Zhi Zhi disappeared just like that, along with the seven acquired Divine Sovereign corpses. It was like nothing had happened.
Youlan looked back at the flying shuttle. She wanted to thank Long Chen for saving her life, but she found that Long Chen wasn’t even looking at her.
A fiery sensation burned on her face. Gritting her teeth, she continued killing. This time, she was much more cautious.
“Okay, you can have them join in now,” said Long Chen.
Yuantu gave the order, and the Rainbow Cloud Leopard race’s disciples charged out like a group of brainless chickens.
Seeing Long Chen’s expression, Yuantu bitterly smiled.
He said, “Senior Long Chen, please don’t laugh at me. Our Rainbow Cloud Leopard race has spent all our resources on them. Maybe our methods were flawed, but we did our best to give them the fairest ways of competing. We’re completely broke now.”
Long Chen realized that.
The Rainbow Cloud Leopard race had truly gone all-out this time, but each person’s survival would depend on themselves.
This upcoming battle was a trial by fire. Only a small portion of them would survive, and what remained of the Rainbow Cloud Leopard race’s wealth would just be enough to raise this small portion.
From the flashy, undisciplined way the disciples charged out, it was clear Yuantu had treated them equally. This battlefield was their starting line—the fairest one possible.
“Sorry!”
Long Chen cupped his fists to Yuantu. The Rainbow Cloud Leopard race had indeed done their best.
Once these disciples joined in, the Black Wing Toxic Bats finally couldn’t endure anymore. They started to falter and pull back.
“Zhi Zhi, lock down this place!” Long Chen commanded.
A shocking scene stunned all the disciples. Thick vines pierced out of the void and wove together into a massive black net that covered the entire battlefield.
