Chapter 569: Demon Battle Team
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A single deadly strike!
He killed an Abyssal Demon with a High-Level Deity’s power with a single blade strike!
When the crowd saw Yang Ling holding a blade in hand and Barr’s Godhead in the other hand, even the Sword God Gerald and the Chief Elven Priestess were dumbfounded, let alone the Corpse Wizard King and others. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief as they suspected that this was just an illusion. They knew long ago that Yang Ling’s power rose greatly, but they still didn’t expect that he became so terrifying.
“A High-Level Deity, he’s surely a High-Level Deity. The feudal lord has surely the power of a High-Level Deity or even an apex High-Level Deity.”
“It’s unlikely! Why do I feel that the Energy Ripples within his body are vastly inferior to that demon? How is it possible for him to have an apex High-Level Deity’s power?”
“Fool! You don’t know how to hide your power, yet you think that other people also couldn’t do so?”
...
The clansmen of the Sword God and the Chief Elven Priestess looked back frequently as they escaped, and they paid attention to the group fight against the Abyssal Demon Barr. When they saw Yang Ling killing the demon with a single blade strike, they stopped in their tracks and started discussing this matter. In their eyes, Yang Ling’s power was great and unfathomable.
“Yang Ling, did you, did you kill the Demon Barr with a single blade strike?” The Chief Elven Priestess looked in disbelief at Yang Ling that was near her. She still couldn’t believe that Yang Ling possessed such terrifying power!
They had fought for less than an hour, yet the Sword God Gerald vomited blood and got serious injuries. Blood gushed out of Hydra’s belly, and it seemed at its last gasp, while even the Chief Elven Priestess suffered great harm and consumed a large amount of her Divine Power. The terror of the Abyssal Demon Barr could be discerned from this.
At first, she assumed that they would likely die and wouldn’t manage to escape this crisis. Yet, at the last moment, Yang Ling suddenly released such great power.
“It’s just a fluke. If Hydra didn’t risk its life to constrain it, and if the Demon Barr wasn’t careless, I wouldn’t have managed to succeed.” Yang Ling gasped for breath and quickly put the Battle Soul Blade in the scabbard on his back before he also collected the Demon Barr’s Godhead quickly. Soon after, he instructed the beauty Sala to promptly staunch the bleeding of Hydra that sustained heavy injuries.
In other people’s eyes, Yang Ling’s power was deep and unfathomable, but Yang Ling knew himself clearly, and when he released the Spatial Fetters at full-power and gnashed his teeth to make a blade strike, he had consumed all Wizard Power and Mental Energy in his body. If the Demon Barr managed to dodge the attack, the consequences would have been too horrible to imagine.
It was a matter of life and death!
As Yang Ling recalled the Abyssal Demon Barr’s Divine Domain that had fire and soul attacks and recalled his purple flames that could melt even rocks, his scalp turned numb.
“Hydra, you must persist at any cost.”
The beauty Sala rushed over quickly and used all skills up her sleeve to staunch the bleeding of the heavily injured Hydra. But, it was a pity that she couldn’t seal the large wound on Hydra’s belly even though she racked her brain for solutions, and when she saw blood still flowing out of the wound, tears streamed across her face, while the expression of the Corpse Wizard King, Giant Ape King, and others turned gloomy.
They couldn’t come for a way to deal with this in a short while, and even though they applied a whole bottle of Alice’s Hemostatic Powder on the wound, they still couldn’t staunch Hydra’s bleeding. Even Yang Ling was helpless in the face of this.
The Wound on Hydra’s belly was too large, and it was so deep that bones could be seen. But, this wasn’t the deadliest part about it, and the crux was that the Demon Barr’s giant sickle had terrifying flames, and all flesh around the wound was burned by it. This was why they weren’t able to staunch the bleeding!
“Lord, I, I have something to ask of you.” Hydra raised weakly its middle head while warm tears flowed out of its eyes. “Our Nine-Headed Python Clan suffered the surprise attack of the despicable Violent Dragons five, and all clansmen were slaughtered mercilessly, while the great swamp where we resided was occupied. If you go to the Magical Beast Plane, I hope that you will take revenge for our Nine-Headed Python Clan, and I hope that you will bury my corpse in the oasis in the swamp.”
As Hydra recalled its slaughtered clansmen, warm streams streamed across its face.
At first, it planned to carry out a massacre after reaching Tailun Continent, and it planned to use all means possible to advance into the High-Level Deity Stage quickly. It hoped that it could one day go back to the Magical Beast Plane and take back its occupied home. Yet, it didn’t expect that its life would quickly reach its end.
“Hydra, you can set your mind at ease. One day, I won’t just get back the great swamp, I will make the whole Magical Beast Plane become your home.” As Yang Ling looked at the dying Hydra that risked its life to save him, he felt quite unwell, and he started weaving Wizard Seals to move it into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.
The beauty Sala’s Regeneration Spell was useless, and even the Hemostatic Power crafted by Alice wasn’t of any use. Now, the sole hope for saving Hydra was the white fog emitted by the Wizard Pagoda, and he could only entrust everything to it.
“God said that life is people’s most precious possession. One mustn’t try to keep it at all costs, but he still shouldn’t abandon it easily. Life Radiance!” When Yang Ling was about to move Hydra into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, the Chief Elven Priestess held a Magic Staff and mumbled in a soft voice. Soon after, she waved her hand and released silvery light that fell upon Hydra’s wound that was so deep that bones could be seen.
The bleeding of Hydra’s wound that was engulfed by silver light was quickly staunched, and even the state of the skin burned by the Abyssal Demon Barr’s flames started turning for the better.
The Life Divine Spell cast by the Chief Elven Priestess possessed outstanding power, and it surpassed greatly ordinary Regeneration Spells.
However, even though it possessed great power, it also consumed a large of Divine Power. The Chief Elven Priestess had already suffered great harm, and after she cast the Life Divine Spell forcefully, her face turned paler, and her body swayed. She almost fell to the ground, and it was fortunate that the Sword God Gerald next to her was sharp-sighted and deft, and he extended his hand to support her.
“Priestess, thank you.” When Yang Ling saw Hydra’s unexpected recovery, he bowed to the Chief Elven Priestess and thanked her.
It could be said that the Chief Elven Priestess was one of the few kind-hearted experts on the Tailun Continent, and even the Three Heads of Darkness were both evil and righteous. They just had a good relationship with Yang Ling, but they still would stoop at all means to deal with their enemies.
As for Raymond, he handled matters for the benefit of the whole Tailun Continent, and he didn’t meddle in matters due to his principles. If he intervened, he would usually leave no leeway, and he directly crushed the Sea Demon King’s Godhead. It was only the Chief Elven Priestess that didn’t care about fame and benefit, and she was truly kind-hearted. He had never seen her kill anyone!
“Yang Ling, I have lost just some Divine Power to do so, and you don’t have to be so polite.” The Chief Elven Priestess chuckled and took a breath before she said with a smile, “Let’s leave, let’s leave quickly. The Graveyard of Gods and Devils is filled with peril everywhere, and the blood smell may easily attract a large number of terrifying creatures. Let’s leave this land quickly.”
“That is right. Let’s leave. Let’s leave quickly. There isn’t just a single Abyssal Demon in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and if other demons followed the smell here, we will be in trouble.” The Sword God Gerald acted decisively, and he supported the Chief Elven Priestess as he spoke and left quickly. He rushed toward the clansmen waiting at a distant region.
A single Abyssal Demon was already so terrifying. So, if a group of them came over, wouldn’t it be worse?
Yang Ling didn’t dare to neglect this, and he quickly moved the heavily injured Hydra into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension so that it could recuperate in it before he also collected the Demon Barr’s head and giant sickle. Soon after, he commanded the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others, and followed the crowd closely. When he had run into an Abyssal Demon, he had just made a narrow escape from death, and the terror of a group of Abyssal Demons would be unimaginable.
The Corpse Wizard King had rich battle experience and quickly led the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King to bring up the rear. They erased the crowd’s trails as they walked, and after a short while, the crowd disappeared among a boundless forest.
Roar!
After Yang Ling’s group had just left, black shadows rushed out of the horizon as they roared. They were as fast as lightning, and they reached the battlefield in the twinkling of an eye. If the crowd was here, they would discover that this was a group of Abyssal Demons that wore Fire Armor. They were murderous-looking Abyssal Demons, and the leader was a hundred-meter-tall demon that held a giant blood-red sickle and wore a Magic Cloak with many symbols depicted on it. The leader’s gaze flickered like lightning, and his expression was gloomy. He emitted a wave of berserk Energy Ripples!
“Sir Thomas, we have come late!” A scout-like demon walking around observed the demon Barr’s corpse and the bloodstains on the ground before he shook his head helplessly.
When the scout detected Barr’s Soul Ripples’ anomaly, he promptly notified the Leader Thomas that was patrolling in the vicinity, and the latter took a prompt decision. Thomas led his demon subordinates and rushed for a thousand miles quickly. Yet, he unexpectedly still came late, and he wasn’t just unable to save Barr in time, but he also didn’t even get to know the enemy’s appearance.
“A single deadly blade strike and even the Godhead wasn’t preserved. It’s amazing!” The Great Demon Thomas wore a grave expression, and he stooped down to observe the wound on Barr’s neck.
Barr’s power couldn’t be considered outstanding among the numerous guards in the side of the Abyssal Demon Lord, and he was just an ordinary guard. But, he was still an Abyssal Demon and had outstanding comprehension of the Fire Law. Yet, his head was chopped off by the enemy, and his Godhead was taken away. It could be discerned from this that the enemy’s power was so terrifying!
Who killed Barr?
As Thomas observed Barr’s corpse, his expression turned more ice-cold.
Since a rumor about a Mother Nest’s discovery in the depths of the Graveyard of Gods and Devils spread out, a large number of Alien Planes’ experts intruded into the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. They had people that wanted to pick Godheads or Divine Weapons, and they had powerhouses that wandered everywhere to train, yet there were also among them people who sought the Mother Nest’s trails. The factions ruling Great Planes stretched their hands toward the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and the situation descended into chaos.
“Let’s leave and go back. Let’s report this matter promptly to the Abyssal Demon Lord.” After Thomas hesitated for a moment, he took a decision quickly.
The Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ situation would turn messier along with the intrusion of a large number of Alien Planes’ experts, and the issue wasn’t so simple that a leader of a Demon Battle Team like Thomas could deal with it. Now, it was time to ask the Abyssal Demon Lord to undertake this matter personally.
Making a report to the lord?
When the numerous demons heard what their leader said, their bodies shivered. The Abyssal Demon Barr had already slept for innumerable tens of thousands of years to speed up his recovery, and none dared to disturb his sleep if an extremely important matter wasn’t at hand.
