"No! We cannot act now! The Lord-class Beast Emperors have not yet appeared! They are the trump cards of the demon race!"
Li Xiaotian spoke, his expression grave, a trace of helplessness flashing in his heart. There were only eleven late-stage Imperial-level cultivators on the human side, and these eleven were the greatest trump cards of Great Qin.
If they were to act now, they would surely be targeted by the ordinary Beast Emperors. If the demon race then deployed Lord-class Beast Emperors, the situation for Great Qin would become extremely dire.
The demon race had far too many Beast Emperors. Even in ancient times, the number of powerful demons far exceeded that of humans, let alone now. Great Qin was facing demons from a forbidden zone.
"I have already sent a message to the sect. It will not be long before powerful cultivators from the sect arrive to aid us! Why don't we act first? If we delay any longer, I fear they will suffer heavy casualties!"
Jian Lin spoke with a serious tone. He had not expected that the offensive from Myriad Beast Mountain this time would be more perilous than all previous battles. It was clear they intended to annihilate Great Qin in one fell swoop!
"Wait a moment longer! I trust Fifteen and the others! This time, Myriad Beast Mountain gives me a very wrong feeling. I suspect a Hegemon-class Beast Emperor will appear!"
Li Xiaotian said, his brow furrowed. Even when the demon race had just revived, Myriad Beast Mountain had not dispatched so many Beast Emperors. It was known that on the last occasion when three Hegemon-class Beast Emperors from Myriad Beast Mountain had acted, there were less than a hundred Beast Emperors involved.
Yet, this time, in only the second battle, Myriad Beast Mountain gave him the feeling that the entire power of the forbidden zone had been mobilized.
"Hegemon-class Beast Emperor!"
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Jian Lin and the others all frowned. If a Hegemon-class Beast Emperor were to act, then Great Qin would be in grave danger.
"The Pavilion Master should be on his way here by now!"
Jian Lin said, a flicker of worry and helplessness in his eyes. Great Qin currently only had Jian Chen and Dao Xuan, two Hegemon-class cultivators, to suppress the demon race. They were constantly rushing between the three demon forbidden zones, truly unable to cope. If the other two demon forbidden zones were not in turmoil at this moment, then Jian Chen and Dao Xuan could have rushed over.
"How detestable! The Heaven-level powerhouses have not yet awakened, and the various human factions are not united. Otherwise, how would the demon race dare to be so presumptuous?"
Dao Chen gritted his teeth and said. In ancient times, when the two races went to war, the human powerhouses would unite all human forces and coordinate them. At that time, no matter how fierce the demon race's offensive was, humanity was not afraid.
But now, only Great Qin was participating in the battle! Many other sects were watching from the sidelines!
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed. In the center of the battlefield, a human Imperial-level cultivator was surrounded and attacked by three Beast Emperors. Seeing that he was about to perish, he directly chose to detonate himself with one of the Beast Emperors, achieving a mutual destruction!
"Qin Fang!!!"
On the city wall, Li Xiaotian and the others felt a sharp pain in their hearts. That was an Imperial-level martial artist of Great Qin, the cousin of the Qin Emperor.
Everyone's faces turned grim. A human Imperial-level cultivator had fallen!
"Roar!!!"
Another roar. A Beast Emperor instantly tore apart two Dragon God mechs. The martial artists inside didn't even have a chance to escape before being shredded into pieces.
"Damn it!!!"
On the city wall, someone roared. In the current situation, the demon race held a firm advantage, and it was extremely unfavorable to humanity!
"Act! If this continues, our people will soon be wiped out!"
Someone roared, unable to restrain himself from wanting to act. Although he knew that the demon race still had reserves, he could not wait any longer. An Imperial-level late-stage martial artist could at least hold off five ordinary Beast Emperors, reducing the pressure on Long Shiwu and the others considerably.
Li Xiaotian's brow was tightly furrowed. He also wanted to act, but with the current battle situation, even if all of them, the Imperial-level late-stage cultivators, were to move, they could not stop the demon race's offensive.
The number of ordinary Beast Emperors dispatched by the demon race this time was truly too great!
"The demon race has gone mad this time, wanting to devour all of us in one go!"
Someone spoke, their tone filled with killing intent.
"Boom!!!"
Another loud explosion. A Dragon God mech directly self-destructed, and the terrifying energy instantly engulfed the surrounding demon beasts.
However, even so, not a single Beast Emperor from the demon side had perished; only one had sustained some injury.
"Kill!!! Great Qin! Please remember my name! Chen Meng!!! Born a man of Great Qin, I have no regrets in dying!!!"
On the other side, a Dragon God mech let out a roar, and then it pounced onto a Beast Emperor, detonating itself.
"Aow!!!"
The Beast Emperor let out a scream, its entire body blown to smithereens. However, it was not dead yet, and it quickly dragged its broken body to escape back into the forest.
"Damn it!!!"
On the city wall, Li Xiaotian and the others' eyes turned red, their fists clenched tightly.
"Buzz!"
Just then, a beam of sword light shot out from the city wall, slaying the Beast Emperor. It was Jian Lin who had made the move.
"Act! This time, the demon race has gone mad! I fear that the number of Lord-class Beast Emperors later will not be small either!"
Jian Lin spoke with a look of determination. At this point, no tactics mattered anymore. The demon race's numbers were too great. Great Qin could only resist with all its might to have a sliver of a chance of survival.
With that, Jian Lin transformed into a streak of sword light and charged into the battlefield.
"Esteemed seniors, please act! Great Qin might implicate you this time."
Li Xiaotian spoke, his long saber appearing in his hand. He had a bad premonition; Myriad Beast Mountain had definitely prepared trump cards that would plunge Great Qin into despair this time.
In fact, even the strength displayed by Myriad Beast Mountain so far had left Great Qin with little chance of victory.
"Heh heh, implicate or not, the demon race is humanity's mortal enemy! To die killing demons is a death without regret!"
Dao Chen said with a smile, jumping off the city wall and plunging into the battlefield.
"Indeed! If we can take a few Beast Emperors down with us in our final moments, it would be a glorious end!"
An old man spoke, also charging into the battlefield.
"It is my honor, Li Xiaotian's honor, to kill demons alongside all of you esteemed seniors!"
Li Xiaotian said with a smile, swinging his saber.
"Kill!!!"
All the human Imperial-level powerhouses joined the battlefield. Li Xiaotian and the others possessed formidable strength. Almost as soon as they made their move, they killed a Beast Emperor.
Moreover, Li Xiaotian, Jian Lin, and Dao Chen, in particular, had all reached the peak of Imperial-level. With just a single move, those ordinary Beast Emperors had no chance to resist.
"Third Saber!!!"
Li Xiaotian roared, targeting a demon tiger. Its strength was close to breaking through to the late stage of Imperial-level, its power terrifying.
"Roar!"
The demon tiger let out a roar, a trace of fear and dread flashing in its eyes. Facing Li Xiaotian's long saber, it fled without a second thought.
But its speed was too slow. It was instantly cleaved in two by Li Xiaotian's saber.
However, even though Li Xiaotian and the others had joined the battlefield, they had only slightly slowed down the demon race's offensive.
The beast horde on the ground had already approached the city walls of the capital very closely.
"Roar!!!"
Just then, another beast roar echoed from the edge of the forest, and twenty colossal figures appeared before everyone's eyes.
Lord-class Beast Emperors had appeared! There were twenty of them!
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaotian and the others felt a sense of powerlessness arise in their hearts.
