NOVPUBThis battle was much better for Chu Country than before.
In the previous battle, Chu Country didn’t have the strength to fight back, and could only retreat while fighting.
Now,
Three Early Guiyuan Realm fighters from the enemy side had died. The number of Guiyuan Realm warriors on both sides was comparable, but the combat strength was not. The tribe’s Guiyuan Realm powerhouse’s strength far surpassed that of Chu Country.
Particularly, the fight between Absolute Yin Ancestor and Mantu Clan Chief gripped everyone’s attention.
It was clear to everyone that Absolute Yin Ancestor was at a disadvantage. Once Absolute Yin Ancestor was defeated, the war would probably be decided soon.
But the combat between Absolute Yin Ancestor and Mantu Clan Chief was beyond the reach of ordinary people; they neither had the opportunity nor the capability to intervene.
"Human, you’re seeking death!"
The Red-eyed Jiao was immensely furious, its eyes ablaze with anger, radiating a fearsome aura.
Had it not been for Chen Yu’s Dragon Scale Bloodline, in front of the Red-eyed Jiao, he would have been significantly suppressed, unable to fully utilize his capabilities.
Boom!
The Red-eyed Jiao’s tail, enveloped in a fiery tornado, ferociously swept across.
Compared to its claws, the tail was much larger, making this swipe far more powerful.
Chen Yu was not stubborn enough to directly confront the Red-eyed Jiao. Since the Jiao’s tail was powerful, he simply dodged it.
Flap, flap!
Black remnant wings vigorously flared from Chen Yu’s back, and he dashed forward, closing in on the Red-eyed Jiao.
Only by getting close to the Red-eyed Jiao could the Ancient Giant Elephant avoid attacking, fearing it might hurt the Holy Beast Red-eyed Jiao.
"Damn it!"
The Red-eyed Jiao cursed angrily.
Although it was fast and agile, its large size made Chen Yu seem rather insignificant in front of it.
When Chen Yu decided not to confront it head-on, its tail couldn’t really hit him, and it might accidentally hit itself.
Bang! Bang!
Upon getting close, Chen Yu consecutively threw two punches, hitting the body of the Red-eyed Jiao.
Roar!
Two scorched pits were left on the Red-eyed Jiao’s body, with Blood Crystal Flame continuously burning its flesh. The creature roared and began to move swiftly.
"Seeking death, human!"
Realizing Chen Yu’s tenacity, the Red-eyed Jiao decided not to clash in strength anymore. It opened its mouth and spewed forth a massive wave of fiery yellow flames, engulfing everything.
"Demon Scale Armor!"
Chen Yu’s third magic pattern stirred, spreading across his body, transforming into a black armor.
The Holy Beast Red-eyed Jiao’s Cloud Jiao Fire was no joke. At its Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, even cultivators of the same level found it difficult to withstand its fiery assault.
Chen Yu wore the Demon Scale Armor, feeling its defensive power rapidly getting worn down and weakened.
Luckily, at that moment, Chen Yu activated his Dragon Scale Bloodline, enhancing his body’s defensive strength.
However, the Dragon Scale Bloodline had its limits and couldn’t be used for long.
"Close combat it is."
Chen Yu, supported by his Demon Scale Armor, navigated through the sea of fire.
Oddly, Chen Yu’s black remnant wings, not protected by the Demon Scale Armor and the Dragon Scale Bloodline, seemed unaffected by the Cloud Jiao Fire.
Chen Yu closed in on the Red-eyed Jiao and resumed his violent assault.
The Red-eyed Jiao twisted its body, occasionally swiping with claws, occasionally whipping with its tail, while continuously spewing fire. The surrounding area turned completely into a sea of fire, making it impossible for ordinary people to discern the details of their fight.
However, occasional roars of rage from the Red-eyed Jiao indicated it wasn’t gaining the upper hand.
Regardless, the fact that Chen Yu could fight the Red-eyed Jiao to this extent was astonishing, despite the Red-eyed Jiao being wounded earlier.
"This creature, such a robust physique and vitality. If it were a normal ancient beast or human, they would have been beaten to death by me long ago."
Chen Yu thought internally, unleashing another punch.
Boom!
A punch mark was left on the back of the Red-eyed Jiao, with remnants of Blood Crystal Flame lingering.
"Damn it, this human’s defensive power is so strong. My flames can’t even burn him to death."
The Red-eyed Jiao was more shocked.
Among its peers, Chen Yu was the first human who had managed to endure its Cloud Jiao Fire for such a long time, not to mention Chen Yu wasn’t even at the same level.
Moreover, Chen Yu’s strength was truly astonishing, causing injuries all over its body. Additionally, Chen Yu’s attacks carried Blood Crystal Flame which burned living flesh, rendering the Holy Beast Bloodline’s regenerative power almost ineffective.
The Red-eyed Jiao could feel that the battle couldn’t go on like this for much longer.
Its bloodline had its limits, and compared to before, the flames it now spat out were somewhat weaker.
However, it was certain that Chen Yu wouldn’t last much longer either. Recently, Chen Yu had deactivated his Dragon Scale Bloodline while using both the Demon Scale Armor and protective magic, slightly weakening his strength.
The Red-eyed Jiao decided to use its Holy Beast Physique’s endurance and regenerative power for a war of attrition against Chen Yu, waiting for Chen Yu to falter and then to devour this human.
Suddenly.
Boom!
A powerful tremor accompanied by a tremendous explosion echoed in all directions.
The explosion originated from the battleground of Absolute Yin Ancestor and Mantu Clan Chief.
Visible now was an undulating mass of gray-black flames, from which countless little bugs scattered.
Gradually, the gray-black flames dissipated, and Absolute Yin Ancestor appeared, his clothes torn, his body riddled with numerous wounds, his aura feeble.
"Hehe, this can end now."
Mantu Clan Chief approached slowly, swinging his robe, releasing another swarm of bugs.
He was actually pained, for to severely injure Absolute Yin Ancestor, he had sacrificed many precious varieties of bugs.
A layer of glossy, dark bugs, their bodies sharply angular, combined together, forming a small dark shield slowly moving towards Absolute Yin Ancestor.
On another side, the Three-headed Blue Steel Eagle continuously circled in the air, its six eyes firmly fixed on its prey.
At one moment, the Three-headed Blue Steel Eagle let out a shrill cry, soon followed by a sound of something tearing through the air. It had appeared behind Absolute Yin Ancestor, its three sharp beaks fiercely stabbing.
Absolute Yin Ancestor was ready to defend, but just then the small dark shield suddenly dispersed, unleashing a sea of venomous bugs flying towards him.
Caught in a pincer attack!
Absolute Yin Ancestor gritted his teeth and hid inside the Yin Stone Coffin.
By doing so, he dodged the encirclement, but also sealed his own retreat.
"Burn it for me!"
Mantu Clan Chief seized the opportunity, controlling the venomous fire bugs to land on the Yin Stone Coffin, frantically unleashing flames.
Mantu Clan Chief, with numerous tactics—mastering both beast control and insect manipulation—continued his assault, rendering the Spiritual Artifact Yin Stone Coffin useless.
In the end, not only would the Yin Stone Coffin be damaged, but Absolute Yin Ancestor would also be defeated.
Whoosh!
Absolute Yin Ancestor controlled the Yin Stone Coffin to start flying, escaping toward the distance.
The Three-headed Blue Steel Eagle instantly intercepted, creating a violent blue whirlwind that blocked the Yin Stone Coffin.
"This is bad."
Inside the Yin Stone Coffin, Absolute Yin Ancestor’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Though the Yin Stone Coffin was a Spiritual Artifact and connected to him, he could feel it would be damaged if things continued like this.
"Haha, after I kill you, everyone here will die too."
Mantu Clan Chief laughed loudly.
His arrogance and loud declarations were meant to affect other battlefields and weaken the morale of Chu Country’s soldiers.
"Alliance Hierarch!"
"Not good, Absolute Yin Ancestor is losing!"
Indeed, many were distracted by this scene, which also affected their spirits.
At that moment, a surge of firelight came from another direction—it was the Red Flame King.
As it turned out, the battle between Red Flame King and Bi Hai Clan Chief had just ended. Under Red Flame King’s verbal assaults and powerful capabilities, Bi Hai Clan Chief was heavily injured and used a secret technique to escape.
The man who had been protecting Bi Hai Clan Chief had turned into a charred corpse.
"Old geezer, this king has come to meet you!"
Red Flame King snorted coldly.
Instantly, Mantu Clan Chief’s waist-length hair and beard floated up eerily, making his appearance even more terrifying, and quite fitting to the nickname ’Old geezer.’
"Old geez…"
Hearing how Red Flame King addressed him, Mantu Clan Chief’s mouth twitched, his previous joy immediately replaced by rage.
Boom!
Red Flame King opened his mouth and spewed out a torrential fireball, though it was not aimed at Mantu Clan Chief, but at the Yin Stone Coffin.
Bang!
As the fireball approached the Yin Stone Coffin, it suddenly exploded into a flame blast that partially washed away the venomous fire bugs on its surface.
"Fire Qilin!"
Hearing the voice of the Fire Qilin and sensing the situation on the surface of the Yin Stone Coffin, Absolute Yin Ancestor immediately fled from it.
Previously, through the battle between Fire Qilin and the Red-eyed Jiao, he had sensed the opponent’s formidable combat strength. Now with the help of Fire Qilin, he was confident in holding his ground against Ancestor Mantu.
"Playing with such disgusting things, watch as this king burns all your insects to death."
Red Flame King roared and charged forward.
The mighty Holy Beast’s oppressive force also affected the insects, causing them to freeze in place, inactive.
Bang!
Absolute Yin Ancestor slapped the Yin Stone Coffin, from which a swirling surge of black ash flame also attacked Mantu Clan Chief.
At the same time, his eyes shifted, keeping an eye on the three Blue Steel Eagles nearby.
Boom, bang, boom!
Absolute Yin Ancestor, Fire Qilin, Mantu Clan Chief, and the Three-headed Blue Steel Eagle engaged in a fierce battle, the noise terrifying.
"With Red Flame King here, it should be okay, at least we won’t be defeated too quickly."
Chen Yu thought to himself.
Currently, the most urgent task was to deal with his opponent—the Red-eyed Jiao.
"This little guy, his stamina and recovery abilities, are almost on par with mine."
Red-eyed Jiao fixated on Chen Yu.
It had been intent on outlasting Chen Yu, relying on its own Holy Beast bloodline, believing its stamina and recovery abilities would definitely surpass that of a human.
But time proved, Red-eyed Jiao had thought too highly of itself.
The Red-eyed Jiao was covered in scars, its grandeur completely gone, and its aura much weakened. The burning Cloud Jiao Fire around it, both in quantity and quality, had decreased significantly compared to before.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu, with little True Yuan left, was conserving as much as he could, utilizing his physical strength and "Blood Crystal Flame" to attack.
Thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!
Seizing an opportunity, Chen Yu’s heart burst forth, and the True Yuan inside his body surged.
He turned into a shadow and swiftly closed in on Red-eyed Jiao, slashing down with his sword.
Boom!
A blast of black light and blood flame burst open, leaving a huge bloodstain.
The Red-eyed Jiao screamed in pain, crying out loudly.
"Opportunity!"
Chen Yu’s eyes focused, mobilizing all the remaining "Blood Crystal Flame".
Boom!
Approaching the head of Red-eyed Jiao, he fiercely slapped down, and a huge mass of "Blood Crystal Flame" turned into a dazzling blood-colored lotus. Under the joint control of Chen Yu and the Flame Spirit, it floated into the wide-open mouth of Red-eyed Jiao.
A loud explosion erupted from the mouth of Red-eyed Jiao, blasting out astonishing flames.
The "Blood Crystal Flame" had a powerful corrosive effect, especially on flesh-and-blood creatures.
Despite the strong physique and defensive power of Red-eyed Jiao, its mouth lacked scales. After the explosion of the "Blood Crystal Flame", the flames crazily burned and corroded its insides.
Boom, boom!
Red-eyed Jiao’s eyes bulged as it twisted and rolled, its mouth emitting blood flame black smoke. After a long time, it finally quieted down and its body went limp, falling down.
