<h4>Chapter 1445: Battle Started!</h4>
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
The Honor Demon horribly said, “Hasty? Why would I be hasty? Do I have a reason to be hasty?”
Ye Xiao ndly said with a sneer, “Why are you here if you are not hasty? You thought we wouldn’t go for the fight, didn’t you? In fact, we don’t need to think about what will happen after we escape from the final battle. We can just leave right away and find some ce to stay. We can do whatever we can to build our defense! Isn’t it the best n we should have?”
The others were all enlightened all of a sudden. [That is right! Why don’t we do that? Why not? The Honor Demon let us kill every single person of his in the outer forces of the Demon Soul Dao. He even gave up the West Hall and the East Hall, which he has spent so much on. All he wants is to collect as many lives as he can for the altars. He wants toplete the altars! The previous battle is for the same purpose! If we get away from the battle and try to stay alive, the altars will fail because there won’t be enough energy!]
However, as they gave a second thought about it, they understood it deeper. Getting away from the battle was not the best solution. If they retreated, the army would lose faith immediately. The Demon Soul Dao and the Honor Demon would definitelye out to fight if they saw the enemies running away from the battle. Ye Xiao’s people would never be able to win a battle against the demons if they had already lost faith in the war. Therefore, running away from the battle was suicidal!
If the union’s army retreated and chose to do what Ye Xiao just said, it would be the worst situation for the Honor Demon too. If Ye Xiao escaped with his army, and people of the Demon Soul Dao came out to fight, a lot of the low-level cultivators would die, but superior cultivators including Ye Xiao would still have a big chance to live. The Demon Soul Dao wanted toplete the altars, and nothing else was more important than the altars. Toplete the altars, the Demon Soul Dao needed superior cultivators’ soul energy. Having one superior cultivator run away meant they would lose a lot of energy. The Honor Demon would never want it to happen.
The Honor Demonughed loudly and said, “If you go, you are just a demonic soul. If you stay, you are also just a demonic soul.”
Ye Xiaoughed loudly, too, and he said, “If we go, you are just a chicken waiting to be cooked. If we stay, you are also just a chicken waiting to be cooked.”
The Honor Demon’s face turned dark.
The cloth of the tent was crazily flickering. The Honor Demon’s face was dim, and it became cloudy too. He stared at Ye Xiao for a long time without saying a word. After a while, the shadow of the Honor Demon stopped flickering. He calmed down a lot and ndly said, “There is no need to quarrel. Who is the chicken waiting to be cooked? The truth will teach you.”
“Tomorrow, at noon, three hundred miles from here, the Demon Soul Valley, I will be waiting for your souls!”
The Honor Demonughed out arrogantly again and then the shadow on the cloth of the tent just disappeared.
In the sky, there was a huge fire burning in the clouds!
The wind and thunder were making re. Everybody on the union’s side clearly saw the demonic qi gathering together on fire and rushed over to the Demon Soul Valley with howling wind.
It felt like the fire was going to swallow the entire world.
At this moment, it felt like the entire firmament was colorless.
The Demon Soul Dao’s incredible power was shocking the world.
After watching the demonic me burning over the sky, everybody looked more terrified.
They were worried.
They all knew that the Honor Demon was extremely powerful. After all, he used to be the world’s most powerful cultivator in history. If he wasn’t that incredible, how was he able to make such a huge trouble to the world?
However, knowing something was totally different from experiencing something. The Honor Demon was their enemy, so although they had to admit the enemy was good, they still believed that he was a bit weaker than they thought. No matter how powerful the Honor Demon Zong Yuankai was, he would eventually get defeated by the righteous force. Evil would always lose. The righteous side would always win the war!
As they saw how the Honor Demon burned the sky with the demonic me with their own eyes, they were shocked. They were truly worried about the battle that they had to fight the next day!
Ye Xiao looked expressionless, but said in a deep voice, “Once again, I want you to remember, the most important thing to do in the battle tomorrow is to destroy the altars!”
Then he stopped for a while to looked around the people, and then said, “Now, I wish you all the best! Wish you the best of strength and the dao of martial arts. Take care!”
“Gather up! Let’s go!”
Ye Xiao shouted.
...
In the Demon Soul Valley.
In fact, the valley wasn’t called the Demon Soul Valley. It was just an undiscovered valley that was not far away from the West Hall. Zong Yuankai liked it when he first saw this ce, so he chose it to be the main base of the Demon Soul Dao. Since the Demon Soul Dao was set in this valley, it became the Demon Soul Valley.
The army of the union of sects in the Qing-Yun Realm hade to the front of the valley already.
As they looked forward, the entrance of the Demon Soul Valley was covered by a lot of floating dark fog, which made the entire ce extremely scary.
The entrance of the valley was dark. It felt like the shady entrance to the deepest level of hell.
From outside the entrance, nothing could be seen over the other side. It was just deep and dark.
It was old around the valley. As the cultivators stayed longer near the entrance, they felt colder and colder. Chilling wind blew over from time to time, howling like the cry of ghosts resounding from inside the valley. When they heard the creepy sound of the wind, they all had goosebumps because of the fear.
Beyond the Demon Soul Valley, the extremely dense demonic qi was covering the sky, crawling out to the surrounding areas.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help frowning. He waved a sleeve, shouted, and said, “Zong Yuankai! Your honorable guests are all here! Shouldn’t youe out to greet us?”
As he said so, Han Bingxue and Li Wuliang started to chuckle.
“That was some powerful talking really... Luckily this is somewhere in the wild. If this is a crowded market, I would think that I am around a brothel, and our brother here is urging the procuress to greet her guest...”
Li Wuliang wasughing, and his eyebrows were shaking.
“That is true, Brother Li. I have the exact same feeling right now...” Han Bingxue rubbed the chins, half closed his eyes and said, “Well, if the women in the brothel are all as ugly as Zong Yuankai... I... Hmmm... I have to say I will never have the guts to step in.”
The men around them heard what Han Bingxue just said, and they surely understood what he was talking about. They all looked at each other and cracked some ribaldughs.
Thedies who came all the way along them were all blushing and staring at those men. If thesedies could kill by staring, they could have killed Li Wuliang and Han Bingxue many times over...
Thedies would never have thought that under such a critical and dangerous situation, Li Wuliang and Han Bingxue could still make those ribald jokes...
It was truly unendurable!
Xue Danru surely represented all thedies at this moment. She immediately grabbed Li Wuliang’s fat waist and pinched really hard. She was embarrassed and pissed. [Bastard... You are embarrassing me so much...]
On the other side, inside the Demon Soul Valley.
A creepy voice was ringing up and the Honor Demon was saying, “Li Wuliang, you will immediately be a dead man when you set your foot on thend of the Demon Soul Valley!”
Li Wuliangughed loudly to the sky and said, “Zong Yuankai, I am going to step on the soil of your bloody Demon Soul Valley! I would love to find out who could kill me that easily!”
Then he wielded his Fierce Saber and made a broad light that shined ringly as if he was going to cut the entire firmament into halves. He and his saber became like a bolt of lightning, rushing fast into the valley!
With a cracking sound of an explosion, the walls of the mountains on the two sides of the entrance were copsing because of the st!
Li Wuliang was like a god who opened up a mountain. Wherever his Fierce Saber went over, mountains fell down to the floor and the dust flew up covering the sky. A fissure actually appeared in the dim demonic qi in the air when his saber shed, but the demonic qi closed up immediately afterward.
Ye Xiao red and then waved his hand. Xue Danru, the Moon Queen, Lei Dadi, and his two brothers rushed ahead on the left side. The nine elders of the Ice Cloud Pce followed Li Wuliang, rushing fast into the Demon Soul Valley on the right side.
Almost at the same time, Ye Xiao shouted to the sky.
Beyond the clouds in the sky, some golden lights shined up. A long and clear tweet of a hawk sounded.
Ye Xiao was d to get the response. As he looked up to the sky, a golden light shed over the sky and then disappeared inside the clouds. Thunderps cracked up in the sky.
Ye Xiao made a long breath with relief, and then his spiritual mind entered the Boundless Space. He hurriedly asked, “Erhuo, how’s it going?”
Erhuo proudly raised its head and looked up with two raising eyeballs. [Did you just ask me how it’s going? I can’t even begin telling you how much I don’t want to answer that.] This thought was shown on its arrogant face.
“Everything is perfectly handled!”
Ye Xiao got a positive answer, so he felt relieved. As he shed, he was already rushing into the Demon Soul Valley.
Whoever was arranged to fight this battle all followed Ye Xiao into the Demon Soul Valley.
Ye Xiao was one step behind Li Wuliang and the others who followed Li Wuliang. When Ye Xiao, leading the second group of people, rushed into the valley, the sounds of powerful qi crashing and weapons cracking rang up everywhere in the valley. Apparently, the battle had begun.
“Destroy the Demon Soul Dao and protect our world! Today is the day!” Lei Dadi’s voice was spreading out far away.
“Kill!” That forceful shout obviously came from Li Wuliang.
“You f*cking demonic creatures! Die under my sword!” The cold voice was from Han Bingxue.
The war had just begun, but the raging power of both sides had heated the entire ce up. The demonic qi that had covered up the entire Demon Soul Valley was actually scattered away.
Ye Xiao shed and already reached the battle. Through the fog in the air, he saw blood sshing up in the sky. The battle was drastic.
The Demon Soul Valley was in a very special ce. The fog and clouds were covering the valley all year long. After Zong Yuankai and his Demon Soul Dao set the main base in the valley, this entire area became dark and creepy. No lights could shine into the area. However, it was not too dark to have a sight in this ce, because there were some special and weird lights in strange color lighting up the battle. The area was as bright as the sunny ces, but it was able to see.
On the other side of the valley, there were five mes in five different colors.
They were white, red, ck, green, and blue...
As Ye Xiao’s men arrived and saw the mes far away, they knew those were the targets Ye Xiao mentioned in the meeting, the Demonic me Altars!
Five of the Demon Soul Dao’s Demonic me Altars werepleted.
Maybe the battle was too close to the Demonic me Altars, or maybe the Honor Demon no longer wanted to cover the altars which absorbed souls anymore, people actually saw the soul energy running toward the mes when anybody died in the fight. As the fight went on, people on both sides died, and their souls clearly flew toward the altars. There were five of the altars that were ming, and then the sixth one was about to be lighted up soon.
Apparently, the sixth altar was absorbing energy fast!
Somewhere there was a high tform, and a man who was in all ck, wrapped by a dark robe, staring at the fight with a pair of cold eyes. He hadn’t said a word, but it felt like he was thundering.
The man in all ck was nobody but the Honor Demon indeed.
Jun Yinglian was wearing all white, holding her frosty sword, fighting against an enemy!
The enemy was holding a weapon with silk ribbon in red color, who was slim and seemed to be pretty powerful. He was fighting against Jun Yinglian, who was already at the Golden Core Phase, but he didn’t seem to be losing the fight. This man was nobody but the Red in the Sky, who used to have a big fight against Ye Xiao some days earlier.
If Ye Xiao could pay attention to Jun Yinglian, he would be shocked by her opponent. The Red in the Sky was totally much more powerful than he had shown in the previous fight. Ye Xiao took all advantages when he was fighting the Red in the Sky on that day only because of some lucky coincidence!
When the Red in the Sky was fighting against Ye Xiao, he underestimated Ye Xiao at the very beginning. As the fight started, Ye Xiao exposed the Red in the Sky’s identity, so the Red in the Sky lost bnce in the mind. That was why the Red in the Sky lost the fight. In fact, if Xuan Bing didn’t operate her Cage Phase skill to secretly help Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao wouldn’t be able to injure the Red in the Sky.
Jun Yinglian was definitely much more powerful now than Xuan Bing in that fight between the Red in the Sky and Ye Xiao. However, as she was fighting against the Red in the Sky, she didn’t seem to be winning easily. The Red in the Sky was absolutely a powerful figure. That was why Master Bai had kept him in mind all the time!
Xuan Bing was fighting against a short fatty.
Xuan Bing was a little bit lower than Ye Xiao in cultivation, but she was much stronger than this short fatty. The fight should be finished soon and easily with Xuan Bing’s victory, but the short fatty was truly an experienced cultivator. He knew that Xuan Bing was too much better, so he only kept defending himself and made no attacks at all. He was great at cultivation, and his power was pure, so he easily defended himself. Xuan Bing was stronger than him, but she couldn’t kill the fatty with one or two attacks. The fight wassting longer than she expected!
The demons in the Demon Soul Valley were as many as Ye Xiao expected, but there were thousands of them already. Every single one of these demonic creatures was a great cultivator with excellent skills and experience in the battlefield.
Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing’s opponents were two vivid examples!
The battle didn’t go well. It wasn’t like what Ye Xiao expected at all. He thought that his best cultivators would all rush to the Demon me Altars and destroy the altars. Once the altars were destroyed, theypleted the mission. However, as things happened, they didn’t have time to get near to the altars at all!
As the fight went on, Ye Xiao sharply noticed that many people on the Demon Soul Dao’s side hadn’t shown up yet, even though the battle was on fire already.
There were many people sitting quietly around the altars, who seemed to be protecting the altars.
Those cultivators who guarded the altars all raised one hand toward the altars. Maybe they were giving power to the altars or they were just protecting the altars.
As long as people approached the altars and tried to destroy anything, these cultivators would attack.
Once these people attacked, they would attack together. Their joint attack must be shockingly powerful.
Whoever got close to the altars got badly injured and had to retreat!
It wasn’t such a surprise that these cultivators were so powerful. As Ye Xiao could see, those men around the altars were all beyond the Cage Phase. As far as Ye Xiao was concerned, nobody in the Qing-Yun Realm had the power to fight against the joint force of seven Cage Phase cultivators all alone!
It was obvious that the Honor Demon had done some arrangement to protect the altars.
Ye Xiao sneered and looked up to the sky. All of a sudden, he shouted and said, “Zong Yuankai, get your big ass down and meet me here!”
That shout was totally thundering, as if the entire area around the Demon Soul Valley was shaken up by his voice.
