Chapter 805: Battle with the Old Demon Woman!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Mo Yi, now in control of the Demon Souls, particularly the fifth-tier ones, had slightly fewer than the fifty thousand fifth-tier Epic Warriors.However, with a battle formation still holding on, only forty thousand Epics were gravely injured.
The Demon Souls were originally weaker than the normal living Epics.
But when facing entirely wounded Epics, they instead managed to overpower them.
Thirty-five thousand plus Demon Souls, along with countless fourth-tier Demon Souls, launched a relentless assault on the circular protective formation.
...
Starting from the outermost layer, the heavily injured Epics were gradually snipped out of formation, then surrounded and hunted down by a swarm of Demon Souls.
Sharp Ghost Claws tore through their defenses, carving wounds into their flesh.
Blood gushed out from the wounds, merging into the surrounding blood mist, and was absorbed by the Blood River.
As more blood flowed, the injuries worsened, and the resistance grew weaker.
In the end, they were bled alive to death.
After death, their Spirits were forcibly extracted from their corpses by the Demon Souls and dragged into the length of the Artifact Spirit Banner.
From then on, they joined the Emperor Banner family as another fifth-tier Demon Soul advanced fighter.
The shadow of death loomed over all the fifth-tier Epics.
A few Leaders quickly gathered to discuss a strategy.
At first, they charged forward recklessly, relying on being able to rally the Three-Clawed Blood Dragon, hoping to crush the Death Lord with the power of five seventh-tier pseudo-Holy Domain forces.
In reality, they collided against a steel plate, resulting not only in a bloody defeat but also being driven to a desperate situation.
No one expected that the opposing Death Lord would be so formidable.
Truly extraordinary!
Killing four seventh-tier pseudo-Holy Domain Three-Clawed Blood Dragons in an instant single-handedly.
This was beyond monstrousness, it was pure aberration!
“Increasing casualties quickly, this can’t continue.”
“Exactly, if we break out, there’s still a glimmer of hope, but if we stay, we’ll all die here!”
“Let’s retreat, as long as we bring back most of our brothers, we can beg the old Buddha for forgiveness, and then gather more manpower to seek vengeance.”
“Right, if we can’t preserve our living forces, it’s only a matter of time before we die at the hands of the Death Lord.”
The consensus was extremely unified, which was to escape, to preserve their living forces, and to return for more support to rise again.
There was no choice but to flee, staying meant slow death.
Breaking out allowed them to survive a little longer.
As long as they broke out in large numbers, they’d still have a chance to gather reinforcements for revenge.
If they delayed any longer and suffered heavy casualties by the time they broke out, their time to death would already be ticking away.
Because if the number of Epics the old Buddha controlled fell below fifty thousand, there was only one outcome waiting for them.
No place for burial!
Because a single Death Lord could oppose their fifty thousand-strong Epic army, what would the old Buddha have to rival the other eight rebel Grand Lords?
The Death Lord captured two territories from the old Buddha, and the eight Grand Lords immediately deployed troops to exert pressure, forcing them to not fully suppress.
Clearly, they had already secretly joined together, even planning on how to finish the old Buddha and divide her current territories.
Whether the old Buddha would be killed by these rebels, they didn’t know, because she still had a fallback, allowing her to live temporarily.
But they would absolutely have no place for burial, because their life and death had been controlled by the old Buddha since they entered the first layer of the Sea of Realms over a hundred years ago!
They were a trump card, a card to help the old Buddha consolidate her position.
But when this trump card lost its effect, they too became useless.
With the old Buddha’s temperament, anything useless to her would surely be cleaned up to avoid an eyesore.
So, the five Leaders, aside from one who remained to maintain the battle formation to let the Three-Clawed Blood Dragon hold as long as possible,
the other four promptly made a decision.
Break out!
It was abrupt, arrived without warning, yet entirely justified.
Only the breakout path, from the start, had been cut off by Zi Liyuan and Mo Yi.
In the moment they entered the fray, the fate of these fifty thousand foolhardy soldiers had already been sealed as one of defeat.
The fifth-tier Epic army formed a wedge shape, madly charging and killing onto the path they came from.
Yet, on the road ahead of them, a tide of Demon Souls surged forth like a flood of Demon Souls, ruthlessly rolling in.
Collision, clashing!
The powerful Demon Souls were directly shattered by the desperately fighting Epics.
They only managed to push forward a thousand meters before being forced to stop.
It wasn’t that they wanted to stop, they just couldn’t advance any further.
The Demon Souls were too tenacious, one fifth-tier Demon Soul taking three or four dozen fourth-tier Demon Souls just to entangle one Human fifth-tier Epic Warrior.
With such an abnormal ratio of numbers, and burdened by injuries,
the fifth-tier Epics were only barely holding on by sheer will.
This, however, just proved the old saying.
With a single strong effort, one could surge forward; with a second effort, they would weaken, and with a third, they’d collapse!
Simultaneously, the breakout disrupted the circular protective formation, creating a breach in the lineup that the Demon Souls seized upon for the slightest opportunity.
Casualties soared dramatically.
In just one minute, over a thousand fifth-tier Epics were hunted to death by Demon Souls.
Their bodies pale, blood drained, Spirits captured.
This wasn’t enough, within the breakout ranks, whenever a corpse fell to the ground, a massive surge of death force erupted instantly.
Each outbreak covered an area exceeding a 50-meter radius.
