Chapter 870: 876 Chapter: Vile
"Why is the Dragon Tribe so foolish?" Xiaoqing said, full of incomprehension.
Even though they knew that the cultivators had long been prepared, they charged straight in, resulting in a massive death of Water Devils, and nearby areas of the Sea Clan were stained with blood.
"The Dragon Tribe isn’t foolish, they are just too proud and look down on everything," Li Zhirui hadn’t let down his guard because of this. After all, the Dragon Tribe wasn’t foolish and it wouldn’t take long for them to realize their mistake.
Per Li Zhirui’s instructions, all cultivators from the Li family participating in the battle were stationed on the same island so they could be protected by Li Zhirui and his group, minimizing casualties among their people.
Before the outbreak of the battle, all cultivators were prepared for a fierce onslaught, but the outcome left everyone in shock, their eyes wide and speechless.
At dusk, the sky was dim, and the setting sun was like blood, with a killing aura spreading over the sea.
After several rounds of crushing losses and little gain, the Dragon Tribe finally suppressed their pride and stopped charging recklessly, finally taking the situation seriously.
"Kill!"
The leading Flood Dragon suddenly roared. Led by several Fifth-order Flood Dragons, a hundred Fourth-order Water Devils and a thousand Third-order Water Devils surged out like a monstrous flood under the connection of a Secret Technique. Their killing intent was fierce and unstoppable; everything in their path was crushed to mud.
"Tao Soldiers’ Method!"
An experienced Nascent Soul Cultivator, seeing this unstoppable group of Devil Beasts, couldn’t help but cry out uncontrollably.
The Tao Soldiers’ Method is actually a combination of various Methods like Artifact Refining and body refining, and commonly known figures like Yellow Turban Strongman and Carrying Mountain Strongman belong to Tao Soldiers.
However, this Method is not popular among cultivators.
The reason is simple, the cost is too high!
A Tao Soldier comparable to a Golden Core Cultivator requires as many resources as directly training a Golden Core Cultivator. With that being the case, why spend a vast amount of resources on training a Tao Soldier who cannot further enhance its power?
Low-rank Tao Soldiers are quite common; they mostly handle miscellaneous tasks.
For the Dragon Tribe, rich and imposing as they are, to train so many Tao Soldiers, they must be quite willing to spend.
The thousand Tao Soldier Water Devils, though not numerous, were carefully trained by the Dragon Tribe. Coupled with the connection through Secret Technique, they formed a formation like an unstoppable great saber.
Previously relaxed, the cultivators’ situation suddenly reversed, and many of them couldn’t hold back the advance, resulting in numerous casualties, especially on the weaker defended islands.
Li Zhirui, accompanied by Da Qing, flew out of the island, attempting to block the approach of the Water Devil Tao Soldiers.
It seemed that the two did not use any defenses, but with Da Qing present, Li Zhirui did not need to worry about this aspect, which was why he had only brought him along.
"Die!"
Li Zhirui suddenly shouted coldly, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes, immediately targeting a Water Devil attempting a sneak attack.
A thorny vine suddenly appeared out of nowhere, moving with Li Zhirui’s intention, and directly smashed onto the Water Devil.
The Water Devil was protected by thick scales, possessing formidable defensive power, but in front of the vine flickering with chilly light, it was as fragile as a piece of paper and instantly turned into a pulp.
Roar!
An arrogant and angry dragon’s roar sounded. Seeing Li Zhirui alone, a certain Fifth-order Flood Dragon couldn’t help but strike.
Before reaching Li Zhirui, a Cold Water Shadow Thunder struck at him.
Da Qing easily blocked the Cold Water Shadow Thunder without Li Zhirui needing to lift a finger.
Li Zhirui’s palm twinkled with Spirit Light, thrown towards the Flood Dragon. In the next instant, thick and resilient vines grew rapidly, encircling the Flood Dragon. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Then in front of all living beings, the vines crazily absorbed the nearby spiritual energy, becoming extremely inflated until they reached their limit, and then with a loud bang, they exploded!
The Flood Dragon trembled uncontrollably, fresh blood flowing strikingly from its seven apertures, but it still had one last breath left.
"Stop!"
From a distance, other Fifth Order Flood Dragons roared furiously, rushing over at top speed, wanting to save this seriously injured Flood Dragon.
Although there were more Flood Dragons in the Dragon Tribe compared to other large races, each Flood Dragon with a high-grade bloodline was extremely precious.
Especially since this one was Fifth Order!
Other Flood Dragons naturally didn’t want to see it die just like that.
But how could Li Zhirui possibly listen to them? A flash of cold light flew from his fingertips, directly severing the Flood Dragon’s head.
A thousand-year-old Fifth Order Flood Dragon just perished like that.
"Ah!"
The Flood Dragons running at top speed to rescue it were still a step too late, their hearts filled with hatred, "You should die!"
Several enraged Flood Dragons took action, as several beams of Spirit Light came from all directions, all targeting Li Zhirui.
As this was the first Fifth Order Flood Dragon to die so far, and it died by Li Zhirui’s hand, the Dragon Tribe naturally hated him to the bone.
"Using numbers to bully the few, what kind of skill is that?"
The Nascent Soul Cultivators, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw this and all took action, surely they couldn’t just watch Li Zhirui be bullied by the Flood Dragons?
Because of Li Zhirui, a great battle among the Nascent Souls erupted!
Various powerful Divine Powers and Laws ravaged this sea area, none of the Territory Water Devils and Cultivators dared to come close.
Li Zhirui also felt this sudden explosion of the battle of Nascent Souls was very abrupt, but he knew clearly in his heart that the outcome of this battle would affect the direction of the war, so both sides of Nascent Souls showed no mercy, giving their all.
A serious comparison of the forces on both sides would reveal that there wasn’t much difference in strength between the Cultivators and the Water Devils, but Li Zhirui had held back!
Xiaoqing and Cang suddenly appeared on the battlefield, instantly disrupting the balance of power, causing the Flood Dragon he was facing to panic for a moment.
But in high-end battles, even a slight mistake could lead to serious consequences.
Xiaoqing, quickly seizing the Flood Dragon’s weak point, didn’t hesitate to mobilize the Laws, merging a strand of Gang Wind and launching an attack at the Flood Dragon.
"Ow!"
The Flood Dragon cried out in pain, the Gang Wind wreaking havoc in its body like a relentless disease, the intense pain making it unable to concentrate on the fierce battle in front of it.
Under these circumstances, facing Li Zhirui, Xiaoqing, and Cang, three Nascent Souls, it had no chance of survival!
In just a moment, another Fifth Order Flood Dragon perished!
Blood rain fell profusely, scattering with the wind over the battlefield.
Seeing this, the morale of the Cultivators’ side soared, completely overwhelming the Water Devils.
For a time, the situation on the battlefield completely tilted towards the Cultivators; the Water Devils were beaten back step by step, their morale extremely low, a large number of Water Devils were slaughtered by the Cultivators.
It was like a vicious cycle, the more Water Devils that died, the lower their morale, and this low morale, in turn, affected the Water Devils’ combat power, leading to even more deaths!
Those several Fifth Order Flood Dragons never expected the situation to become so dire!
