Chapter 1827: Chapter 480: Human and Fiend Confrontation (Part 2)

"Go!"

Wuyue bellowed, his eyes red with sorrow, yet knowing that a calm choice was imperative at this moment.

They were all seasoned Immortal Kings, not prone to making impulsive decisions. A mistake on the battlefield would cost not just their own lives but others’ lives as well.

The separation of life and death had long become a norm.

Shi Miao suddenly erupted, repelling the Ghost Witch Formation beneath the dragon claw and tearing off one of its arms, then turned without looking back and rushed toward Li Hao.

She knew that in the current situation, Li Hao must be led away.

At the dragon tail, Li Hao was maneuvering the dragon tail, engaged in combat with another Yan Ghost Array. The approaching Ghost Witch Formations had brought him immense pressure. He was prepared to unleash Time as a Blade, carving his own realm.

Five hundred years of time could elevate him one level, five thousand years to the second level.

If he truly risked his life, he could consume fifty thousand years of time, raising his cultivation to the Fourth Level of the Immortal King Realm!

By then, with his Double Realm, along with the newly comprehended Void Sound Realm yet to be embedded, if he really disregarded everything, the compounded three realms made him feel that his combat power could at least confront the Sixth Level of the Immortal King Realm.

Additionally, borrowing the military formation’s power, this Ghost Witch Formation might not be unkillable.

As Li Hao resolved to fight to the end, his Dao heart seemed to become purer, perceiving the laws of the universe with increased acuteness and clarity.

Seeing Shi Miao rush over, Li Hao instantly understood her intent and was about to speak when suddenly a terrifying aura approached, surpassing the two Ghost Witch Formations.

Li Hao and Shi Miao simultaneously turned their heads and saw an Execution Ghost Array that only the Heavenly Armor Department could confront, dashing toward them.

The Execution Ghost Array was covered in chains, saw blades, and bones like spikes, incredibly boorish and exuding a terrifying menace.

"Damn it!"

Shi Miao’s face turned pale; except for the encounter with that Supreme in the Southern Domain, this was the second time she felt in absolute peril.

Li Hao was also taken aback, suddenly feeling the battlefield’s mercilessness.

Handling the Yan Ghost Array matched their military formation but was extremely difficult. The Ghost Witch Formation already posed dire adversity, even imminent doom, while the Execution Ghost Array left no room for survival!

This was the battlefield, not a soldier versing soldier nor general versus general. It could be soldier versus general, with smaller soldiers potentially pierced by countless arrows, facing endless powerful enemies, dying to ashes.

Li Hao knew that even if he burnt everything, there would still be tougher dangers emerging to resolve him on this battlefield. This was completely different from the trials of prodigies he had participated in before. Perhaps this was the reason the master had sent them out for trials, participating in the battlefield trials.

Here, there was no fairness, nor justice, only cruelty and survival at any cost!

The Execution Ghost Array approached quickly, arriving to attack before Shi Miao could reach Li Hao.

Accompanied by the Execution Ghost Array’s enveloping Realm Power, an oppressive aura as vast as the black ocean closed in, and Li Hao felt that this Realm alone could crush all of them.

However, before the Realm took form, Shi Miao’s gaze emanated a colorful glow, seeming like some power ready to be utilized, while Li Hao also prepared to wield Time as a Blade and Extreme Dao Chaos. Suddenly, another terrifying aura pierced like a sharp knife, breaking apart the Execution Ghost Array’s Realm.

Subsequently, a force enveloped Li Hao and Shi Miao, accompanied by dragon’s roar, sweeping all of them out of the Execution Ghost Array’s attack range.

In an instant, Li Hao and the others found themselves back atop the city wall. Despite this area being a war zone, it was temporarily safer.

Around them was an Ancestor Dragon, constructed by seven figures.

Upon seeing the uniforms of those seven, Long Ying and others were stunned, then widened their eyes: "City Lord’s trusted aide team?"

Unexpectedly, the reinforcement came from the City Lord’s closest trusted aide team, one of the city’s top forces besides the Commander!

It should be noted that the City Lord was Quasi-Emperor Realm, and each member of the trusted aide team existed at the Seventh Level of Immortal King Realm!

The Dragon Formation they formed could even contend against the Eighth Layer of Immortal King Realm.

"Shi Miao, Haotian?"

One person in the Ancestor Dragon Formation looked at Li Hao and Shi Miao to confirm their identity.

Shi Miao reacted briskly, said: "Who are you?"

"The City Lord commands, given the dire state of battle, for us to protect you as fire seeds. The two of you follow us back to the City Lord’s Mansion, where there’s a teleportation array to other locations."

The person said in a low voice.

Upon hearing his words, the others immediately understood, Long Ying and others’ expressions were complex, looking at Li Hao and Shi Miao with both envy and practicality.

Having witnessed Li Hao and Shi Miao’s performance, they knew these two were different from these veteran Immortal Kings; they had immense potential and indeed qualified as fire seeds.

The soldiers in other military formations also stared blankly at Li Hao and Shi Miao, having felt these two were somewhat different prior to the battle, yet not expecting them to receive such protection from the City Lord.

"The rest, prepare for a death-fight!"

After finishing his words, the person then looked at the others, voice as stern as a military order, dryly said: "The Eastern Domain is in peril, not just our Dragon Gate City but the True Realm Ten Thousand Clans in peril, fight to the death for your families and bloodlines!"

His voice carried little passion, yet like a pointy needle, it pierced everyone’s heart.

They were people from the Eastern Domain, with no retreat, the families at their backs. Being a deserter might ensure survival, but even if they returned to their families, they’d largely be nailed on the pillar of shame.

Rather than that, it is better to fight till bones are crushed, as long as the families endure, at least their spirit tiles could be enshrined among the family’s martyrs, generations worship!

"Go!"

Disregarding others, the person said this, then swept up Li Hao and Shi Miao, without allowing objection, intending to take them away.

Li Hao was somewhat stupefied, the changes overwhelmed him, he wanted to stay, but glancing aside, the battlefield had already turned into the domain of the Ancient Demons, and the city’s military formations couldn’t possibly hold for long.

"Don’t overthink it; you’re not deserters; fire seeds bear more, bear hope!"

It seemed the person discerned Li Hao’s thoughts, spoke in a low tone.

Their eyes carried a chilling intent of facing death.

Before they withdrew from the wall, abruptly, a horrifying pressure attacked, followed by a lazy voice indifferently:

"Who knew there were such refreshments, where are you headed?"

That voice was crisp, calm, followed by a slender Ancient Demon stepping out of the void, donned in a gown composed of countless Ancient Demons, posture graceful but aura terrifying.

Upon hearing that voice, Li Hao was momentarily stunned, feeling inexplicably familiar.

And the seven surrounding Li Hao turned changed color, subsequently one of them sent Li Hao and Shi Miao behind them, saying in a low voice: "You two flee toward the city center, head to the City Lord’s Mansion, there are other fire seeds besides you, leave here swiftly!"

After speaking, the seven transformed into the Ancestor Dragon Formation and advanced.

Li Hao gazed, looking at that colossal Ancient Demon Army Formation, noticing the Ancient Demon’s forehead bore a somewhat familiar face.

Is it her?

Li Hao was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Mi Xueyao abruptly felt some aura, both familiar and strange.

Her heart surprised, her eyes wanderingly scanned over, then saw the young man behind the Ancestor Dragon Formation, their eyes met, both were stunned.

A memory from hundreds of years ago surfaced, Li Hao recalled the woman from the Ancient Demon Clan, surprising him that she appeared in the Eastern Domain and became the opposing general.

Mi Xueyao also didn’t expect that the boy who vanished from the Southern Domain, would reappear in the Eastern Domain, especially on this battlefield, and within merely hundreds of years, he had progressed from True Immortal Realm to Immortal King Realm.

"Indeed, this fellow is one of the top prodigies among the Human Race."

Mi Xueyao’s mind flashed a thought.

If she could slay the top prodigy of the Human Race, it would certainly be a significant achievement.

And top prodigies often have significant forces behind or Immortal Emperors as patrons.

But the thought passed, and suddenly a campfire scene surfaced in her mind, her dormant stomach slightly stirred at that moment.

She recalled that divine cooking skill; if mastered, it could ensure her rapid rise in this Eastern Domain war, becoming the most notable focus of the Ancient Demon Clan’s younger generation!
