Chapter 876 -871: The Sorrow of Heroic Spirits
Bai Yuxiao’s sudden movement immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Charles and his two companions exchanged a glance, and a person flew out from the heroic spirits of the Three Great Families to confront him.
As a descendant of another branch of the Bai family, Bai Yuxiao naturally garnered considerable attention from the outside world.
However, compared to the constantly advancing Bai Qiucha, the always indifferent Bai Yuxiao seemed somewhat lackluster.
Though his talent might not be as great as Bai Qiucha’s, his main pet, the Ghost Dragon, was no ordinary creature.
At least during the rare times of pure-blooded dragons of the Dragon Race, an Undead dragon could easily allow Bai Yuxiao to defeat most geniuses.
With the resources of the Bai family at his disposal, becoming a legend was only a matter of time.
However, Bai Yuxiao’s performance left many disappointed. Although not exceptionally slow compared to others, he was merely at the level of an average genius.
Gradually, the outside world stopped paying attention to Bai Yuxiao, the “failure.”
But now, Bai Yuxiao was displaying the strength of a legend, and judging from the Ghost Dragon that had grown up with him, even among legends, it was a force to be reckoned with.
Three legendary Heroic Spirits, an absolute recognition of Bai Yuxiao’s importance!
“Huh? Sending only three Heroic Spirits, are you looking down on me?!”
Seeing that the Three Great Families had sent only these minor characters, Bai Yuxiao’s expression twisted in anger.
“Ghost Dragon, crush them for me!”
Roar! Roar!
The Ghost Dragon nodded its head, its wings unfurled, and a black wind rushed toward the three Heroic Spirits.
Of course, it had no wind Attribute. This black wind was merely a Spirit blast that had gathered Shadow and Undead attributes.
Yet facing such an attack, the three Heroic Spirits took it very seriously.
The first to react was a Titan giant with a sun mark on his forehead. With one forceful slap on his forehead, he conjured a shield composed of pure Power of the Great Sun, blocking the black wind’s path.
In contrast, the Heroic Spirit from the Aspen family swung his steel hammer and unleashed a bolt of lightning toward the Ghost Dragon.
As for the seemingly weakest Round Table Knight in the middle, he suddenly burst forth with the strongest aura. His spear, corroded by an unknown power into a dark red, was then hurled at Bai Yuxiao.
The three Heroic Spirits hadn’t conferred, but their roles were sharply defined.
However, facing the enemy’s counterattack, Bai Yuxiao didn’t show any intention of dodging. Instead, the Rune Mark on his forehead suddenly began to flicker.
Subsequently, the Thunderbolt pierced through the Ghost Dragon’s body, and the dark red spear entered Bai Yuxiao’s skull.
But whether it was the Thunderbolt or the spear, neither lingered within them, passing directly through the man and dragon.
Instead, the shield that had seemingly blocked the black wind turned into an illusion, and the black wind passed through it without obstacle, striking the three Heroic Spirits.
Struck by the black wind, the bodies of the three Heroic Spirits shook simultaneously, becoming ethereal.
“Hahaha… Thinking they can defeat me with just three Heroic Spirits, that’s a fool’s dream!”
Bai Yuxiao laughed wildly, looking so conceited that it itched the people from the Three Great Families, but they were powerless against him.
With the Talent for Dematerialization, unless Bai Yuxiao voluntarily disabled it or until his physical strength was completely drained, normal attacks couldn’t hurt him.
Moreover, Bai Yuxiao’s cautious approach, despite having the upper hand, suggested he was not as arrogant as he appeared.
This guy was being cunning!
“It seems we should not fall behind.”
Seeing this, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor smiled slightly, tightened his cloak, and transformed into a streak of blood light, dashing out.
“Eternal Night, aren’t you heading out too early? They haven’t deployed their mythical forces yet.”
The Demon-subduing Venerable God tried to stop him. According to their original plan, they were supposed to let the lower-tier forces go first to force out the enemy’s mythical forces.
After all, according to their intelligence, there was not a small number of mythical creatures on this front; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent so many Mythical Creatures their way.
Of course, there were the top-tier forces like Wang Chen and Bai Heguang in the southeastern directions, which meant they didn’t need so many myths for that reason.
“If they don’t come out, we’ll just force them out.”
A taunting look appeared on the face of the Eternal Night Blood Emperor, like he was playing a game of cat and mouse. After glancing around, a Blood Thorn suddenly shot up from the ground.
This Blood Thorn came abruptly, beyond the dodging ability of ordinary creatures, but the target of the Blood Thorn effortlessly evaded.
“See, that got them to come out.”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s eyes lit up, and without exchanging pleasantries, he charged headlong into battle.
“Everything’s gone to chaos.”
The Demon-subduing Venerable God was somewhat helpless. Despite being one of the oldest among the Guardians, this guy always acted like a child, causing trouble.
“No matter, this is good, too. Let’s force out their strongest forces directly.”
Watching the battle thrown into disarray by the Eternal Night Blood Emperor, Bai Qiucha was unconcerned.
Fighting methodically was indeed the most stable approach, but Bai Qiucha felt that they could no longer afford to delay.
“Since it’s come to this, let’s all set out!”
Upon Bai Qiucha’s command, the atmosphere around the Demon-subduing Venerable God suddenly shifted. Wielding the Golden Greatsword, he leapt forward, charging at one of the Titan giants among the Heroic Spirits.
At the same time, other Guardians also engaged their respective enemies, expertly drawing them away from the main battlefield. The transcendent creatures of Eden as well as the Giant Dragons joined the fray as well.
The melee, had begun!
“Cha, are we still just going to watch?”
The Cowskin Snake, not assigned any tasks, yawned from boredom and closed its eyes, actually planning to take a nap in mid-air.
“No rush, they haven’t pulled out their last trick yet.”
Bai Qiucha shook his head and, seeing Charles and his two companions looking utterly unconcerned, also closed his eyes.
“Indeed, although we haven’t seen any sign of the Death State, we still have to be on our guard.”
Aleta looked grave. As a top-level mythical Beastmaster herself, she knew that neither she nor Old Lady Fan could match Bai Heguang and Wang Chen.
Take note, she wasn’t up to par with these two mythical Beastmasters, not their main mythical pets.
As for the reason, it naturally lay in the artifact refinement that only mythical Beastmasters could master.
To others, there might seem to be no difference, but Aleta was acutely aware of the gap.
That was why, when they were making the lineup distribution, she didn’t feel her dignity was affronted by being assigned the most mythical creatures.
Even so, she still felt unsure at heart.
The impression Sam gave her back then was simply too profound!
“Don’t worry, even if it really is the God of Death that descends, it doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t stand a chance.”
“The power of the Guardian Dragons is far stronger than we can imagine, and unless necessary, it’s better not to use your powers here.”
Bai Qiucha sensed Aleta’s thoughts and immediately spoke to reassure her, and upon hearing his words, Aleta actually became calm.
Dragon Tamers are innately the emperors of dragons!
Elsewhere, as the combat fully unfolded, Bai Yuxiao, with his talent for Dematerialization, became increasingly active.
After advancing to Legend, his talent for Dematerialization was also enhanced, enabling him to dematerialize anything within his spirit power sensing range.
Although it was not effective against prepared enemies, this ability was inherently meant for sneak attacks.
Armor penetration, backstab, run away.
The entire set of actions flowed like water, efficiently to an amazing degree.
But because of this, the three Heroic Spirits from the beginning also chased Bai Yuxiao closer and closer.
“These three pests still haven’t given up? Forget it, I’ll settle you guys first.”
Bai Yuxiao’s face was full of displeasure as he turned unexpectedly to counter-attack without warning, and the three Heroic Spirits responded in time, launching their attacks together.
But Bai Yuxiao had anticipated this and, along with the Ghost Dragon, dematerialized to dodge the assault.
Just as the three Heroic Spirits thought the Ghost Dragon would once again create distance, it abruptly materialized. Its dragon claw swung, leaving deep claw marks on their bodies.
“You actually fancied that you could guess my thoughts? It’s a wonder you’ve lived up to now with that mindset. I’m not playing with you anymore.”
Bai Yuxiao, face scornful, dematerialized and left, then the Ghost Dragon forcefully exhaled a breath of dragonfire.
Bai Yuxiao’s erratic attack style caused the three Heroic Spirits immense difficulty, and their forms became increasingly ethereal.
Yet even so, they showed no signs of retreating and stubbornly chased after Bai Yuxiao.
“Bad luck to run into this successor generation.”
Seeing the state of the three Heroic Spirits, Bai Yuxiao sighed and suddenly increased his speed, sweeping past them.
At that moment, the wings of the Ghost Dragon turned into blades, piercing the bodies of the three Heroic Spirits directly. The Heroic Spirits could no longer maintain their forms and crumbled apart with a thunderous crash.
But right then, Bai Yuxiao’s ears picked up a series of strange sounds.
“We’re sorry, we…”
“Help… defeat…”
“This is not our… glory…”
This succession of weird voices made Bai Yuxiao unexplainably irritable, and he immediately focused his spirit power to resist them.
The other party was made of Heroic Spirits, and though they relied on faith to sustain life, it was normal for them to have some spirit attack methods.
But no matter how Bai Yuxiao resisted, the voices kept echoing in his ears.
“What the hell is this ghost ability!”
Bai Yuxiao cursed, then suddenly saw the three Heroic Spirits showing a hint of a smile just before they completely shattered.
These guys are actually smiling?
And their smiles were like ones of relief?
Bai Yuxiao was somewhat puzzled and involuntarily surveyed the battlefield.
For some reason, he seemed to hear weeping.
This weeping was filled with sadness and helplessness yet powerless to resist.
Gradually, within Bai Yuxiao’s field of vision, the enemies they were fighting had seemingly undergone a change.
Although still battling with them, the faces of these Heroic Spirits were covered in tears, as if none of this was their intention.
“Do these Heroic Spirits still retain their memories from when they were alive?”
Bai Yuxiao stood still, wanting to ask others, but soon realized that it seemed to be happening only to him.
Only he could feel the sadness of these Heroic Spirits…
