"Don't I normally look down on you? What's so surprising? If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one?"
Li Qingyun taunted without mercy.
However, these two Shitiánzú kings didn't fall for it.
"Heh, aren't we fighting two-on-two right now? You don't seem particularly capable either!"
Li Qingyun sneered and said, "Why don't you two take a look at your wounds? Be careful of the poison..."
The two were startled and quickly looked down at their injured areas, finding no poison.
"You damn... daring to lie..."
Before he could finish speaking, the [Creation Green Lotus] appeared behind the two Shitiánzú kings, unleashing mysterious world power and crashing towards them.
"Li Qingyun! You're despicable!"
"Boom!"
The impact of this Quasi-Emperor artifact made the two cry out in pain.
Xia Yunxi also seized the opportunity, cooperating with Li Qingyun to kill the two Shitiánzú kings without taking any damage.
"When did you become so cunning, kid? You weren't like this during the hundred years you trained with us!"
Li Qingyun coughed twice and said, "In battle, one always has to employ some tactics. Besides, I discovered before that these Shitiánzú people are quite naive and easy to deceive."
Actually, it was easy for them to capture these two Shitiánzú kings. However, he wanted to minimize casualties. By ambushing them when they weren't paying attention, they wouldn't be able to use [Demonic Body Sacrificing Heaven]. If they went berserk, it would be a bit troublesome.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of a direct confrontation; it was simply unnecessary. After all, Li Qingyun was fighting alongside his mother-in-law, so he had to adopt the most stable approach.
But Wang Teng's situation was different.
Wang Teng was naturally ferocious when fighting, and the Shitiánzú newborns he faced were also ferocious.
However, Wang Teng managed to beat them into submission.
"Demonic Body Sacrificing Heaven! I don't believe how powerful you are! Roar!!"
A Shitiánzú king named Ebsen, not yet pushed to his absolute limit, directly activated [Demonic Body Sacrificing Heaven]. His strength surged in an instant, and he then wrestled with Wang Teng.
Wang Teng also sneered menacingly, "You dog! You think you're the only one who can roar? I'll damn well go head-to-head with you and see who's tougher!"
The golden [Pillar of Heaven] erupted with intense light, intertwining with Wang Teng's [Invincible Golden Physique] to create a dazzling radiance.
Just then, Wang Teng suddenly had a premonition. He immediately laughed heartily, "I have millions behind me, how can you possibly fight me?"
This was the moment the cultivator army advanced, the moment the morale on the entire Glorious Battlefield reached its peak for humanity. The battle intent of the human race directly affected Wang Teng's strength. When their morale was high, the boost was terrifying.
"Eat my staff!"
Wang Teng raised the [Pillar of Heaven] in his hand. Behind him, phantom images of millions of humans appeared. Their battle intent converged and struck at Ebsen.
Although this blow was fearsome, these Shitiánzú newborns, when facing humans, felt no fear. It was only within this battle intent that he desperately realized he was likely doomed. A normal Shitiánzú king would have evaded, but instinct drove him not to.
Then, Wang Teng, with that single blow, killed Ebsen in his [Demonic Body Sacrificing Heaven] state.
His killing intent burning, he turned to attack the other Shitiánzú. The Shitiánzú kings also realized something was wrong. The situation was one-sided. If they faltered and allowed these Immortal Kings to return to the battlefield below, it would be a devastating blow. This would then trigger a chain reaction, causing the Supremes above to suffer backlash from luck, and ultimately leading to their demise.
"Stop fighting for now! Huddle together, huddle together!"
"How many times do I have to tell you, don't fight the Ice Sword Mercenary Group alone!"
"You damn newborns, if you don't follow orders, you'll become sinners!"
"... "
Amidst the chaotic, disordered, and angry roars, the impulsive newborns finally understood the gravity of the situation. Although they were not afraid of death, they were unwilling to cause the failure of this war due to their actions. They then retreated and huddled together.
To their dismay, they discovered that eleven of them had already been killed when they weren't huddled together. In just this short time, eleven experts of the Ninth Realm were gone. Even for the newborns with weaker combat abilities, losing so many was painful!
Fortunately, their numbers were still greater, and they still outnumbered the human Immortal Kings by more than ten. However, these numbers were of no concern to the Ice Sword Mercenary Group. Moreover, the local Immortal Kings of this world were also not weak, many capable of fighting two opponents at once. And with two of them not yet having returned, a sword light descended.
"咫尺天涯!" (A Step, A Thousand Miles Apart!)
This was a sword technique created by Luo Xiaowei based on his sword domain, [Heavenly Chasm]. It had little destructive power but was extremely annoying. The two Shitiánzú kings, who had intended to huddle together for safety, suddenly found an abyss appearing before them, an abyss they could never cross. They charged with all their speed, but they simply couldn't get past it. Their despair was like that of a traveler searching for water in a desert, only to look up and see endless sand. This involved the laws of space.
"Luo Xiaowei, you deserve to die! You disgrace to sword cultivators!"
"I'll curse your ancestors! Xiaoxiao, go kill him!"
Luo Xiaowei was constantly scolded. Although he wasn't the strongest and killed fewer Shitiánzú, why was he always the one being cursed? Of course, besides him, Shen Yingxue was scolded the most. One set up a solid defense, and the other created illusions. Although their offensive power wasn't strong, their support capabilities were immense. The fate of these two Shitiánzú kings who failed to rejoin their ranks was predictable. They were no match when fighting alone, let alone being ganged up on.
The Shitiánzú side gritted their teeth in hatred but had to accept the disparity in strength.
"Defend, defend! No one goes to fight them!"
Thus, dozens of Shitiánzú kings formed a tight defensive formation, creating dozens of layers of shields.
As a result, Meng Zibin turned to Chen Xiaohan and said, "You go to the battlefield below and take down everyone below the Eighth Realm."
The Shitiánzú side was stunned.
"What? What are you doing? Come attack us!"
"What kind of skill is bullying those of lower realms?"
"If you have the guts, keep fighting us!"
"... "
But Chen Xiaohan ignored them and turned back. With this move, the Shitiánzú kings, who had finally managed to group together, were forced to move out again. There was no choice; Chen Xiaohan couldn't be allowed to descend.
