Chapter 967: Chapter 629: The Mechanical Army
On the street, the Crimson Flame Tiger-man stood off against Liang He and Cornice from a distance.
The two stood side by side, backs straight, their Battle Swords surrounded by a faint blue Wind Element Spiritual Energy, their grip and stance perfectly matched. An observant person would instantly recognize them as fellow disciples from the same sect.
"Courting death!"
The Crimson Flame Tiger-man’s eyes widened in anger as flames around him roared and surged, transforming into a fiery red afterimage, fiercely charging at the two.
Liang He and Cornice exchanged a glance, fully aware that with their Tier Five strength, they stood no chance against the Tier Six Crimson Flame Tiger-man in a direct fight. Their sole option was not to win, but to delay, to hold out until reinforcements from the garrison arrived.
In the next moment, the two moved simultaneously.
Their Wind Spiritual Energy pushed to the limit, they moved like shadows, weaving left and right in perfect harmony, as if they were one.
The Crimson Flame Tiger-man’s flaming claws swept out, a wave of heat flying shattered stones about. The pavement was instantly scorched with a black crack as Cornice narrowly dodged, though his shoulder was still grazed by the flames, burning his robes to cinders and sending a wave of searing pain through his flesh.
Without waiting for Dalu to change his moves, Liang He struck with a fierce wind from his sword, forcing his attention while Cornice followed closely to block horizontally with his sword.
With a loud clang, sparks flew. Cornice’s arm went numb, his palm tearing and seeping blood. Despite joining forces, they barely deflected the attack, staggering backward in retreat.
In just two short exchanges, the street was left in ruins.
The pavement shattered, the roadside railings melted into twisted iron by the flames, rubble and scorched earth strewn everywhere.
Fortunately, the civilians had already evacuated, preventing innocent casualties.
Cornice, panting heavily, looked towards Liang He, a hint of concern in his voice: "Ah He, are you alright?"
Liang He shook his head, wiping away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "I’m fine."
Cornice felt a wave of relief.
His brother, despite having no bloodline empowerment, as an exceptionally rare bloodless Tier Five Spiritualist in the entire Empire, Lars possessed a formidable talent, and his understanding was terrifyingly profound.
Any martial technique, once seen, he could quickly grasp, his comprehension and application of moves far surpassing the ordinary, many Golden Bloodline Spiritualists’ techniques couldn’t compare with his solid grasp.
In terms of on-the-spot combat power, even Cornice’s Silver Bloodline might not necessarily assure a victory over Liang He.
Opposite them, the Crimson Flame Tiger-man glared at the two, battered but still resisting, his fury reaching a boiling point.
As a Tier Six Silver Beastman, he couldn’t bring down two Tier Five humans for a long time.
Not far away, his Highness and the Eternal Ice Worm Clan’s subordinates were watching, which was not only a personal disgrace but also a huge slap in the face to the Purgatory White Tiger Clan.
"Roar——!!!"
A furious tiger roar shook the streets and alleys, flames around the Crimson Flame Tiger-man solidified, ready to pour all his might into the attack.
But at this moment, a hoarse, cold voice suddenly came: "Daru, stop."
The voice was not loud, yet carried an undeniable authority.
The Crimson Flame Tiger-man’s body stiffened, his boiling momentum instantly dissipated, as he turned to look.
He saw Kesler and Raymond’s group walking slowly over, Ice Beastmen under the Eternal Ice Worm sneering with undisguised ridicule, eyes mocking.
On the Purgatory White Tiger’s side, including Raymond, everyone glared icily at him, clearly dissatisfied with his inability to quickly dispose of two insignificant figures.
"Your Highness, I’m sorry, I..."
Daru anxiously tried to defend himself, but under Raymond’s icy gaze, words stuck in his throat, and he lowered his head, silent.
Raymond didn’t spare him a glance, crimson eyes locked on Liang He and Cornice, unleashing the terrifyingly fierce Evil Qi of the Purgatory White Tiger Royal Family without restraint.
That Qi surged like a Sea of Blood, like Purgatory descending, crushing towards the two.
In an instant, Liang He and Cornice felt their vision darken, the world changed, as if swallowed by a boundless Sea of Blood and Purgatory, piercing murderous intent and violent Qi stabbing at their souls.
Cornice’s eyes turned white instantly, consciousness blurring, body tilting, nearly collapsing.
Yet it was Liang He, without a bloodline but with exceptionally resilient will, who gritted his teeth, bleeding from the mouth, yet retained a trace of clarity, struggling to hold on.
Raymond, seeing this, grew angrier, his Qi surging anew, ready to shatter their will.
And just at that critical moment—
An unimaginably vast Divine Thought descended from the heavens, suppressing all!
No earth-shaking rumble, yet the whole space suddenly stagnated.
In that moment, all Beastmen, including Kesler, turned pale, scrambling to use all their Soul Power to resist.
Raymond was especially shocked, pupils constricting—he could clearly sense this Divine Thought targeting him!
He no longer cared about crushing the two, pouring all his Soul Power into forming a barrier.
But the Divine Thought was beyond imagination, piercing through his soul barrier like a hammer through paper, striking harshly in his mind.
"Puh——!"
Raymond’s body trembled, spewing a mouthful of blood, face turning ghostly pale.
"Your Highness!"
The Purgatory White Tiger subordinates were in shock and disbelief.
Their Highness, actually seriously injured in one strike, even spitting blood!
Who was this powerful entity?
Could it be an actual Tier Eight from the human Holy Blood Clan?
Before they could recover from the shock, the sound of incessant breaking air and the rustling of armor leaves echoed all around.
