Chapter 711: Blood Angel Battle Team
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Under the hazy moonlight, a team of Titans forged ahead across a forest under their commander’s orders. They carried out a thorough search of the forest. The Power King had arrived in the Nine Underworld Mountain Range two days earlier, and he’d found the Mother Nest, which had turned into a Mother Empress. He inflicted serious injuries upon it, but the swift Mother Empress managed to slip away. It ventured into the depths of the Nine Phantom Mountain Range and hid in the lush forest.
The concealment of Aura and Energy Ripples was an inborn ability of the Mother Empress, and even though it sustained serious injuries, it could still conceal its aura and hide from people’s Divine Consciousness scans. Even the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord, the Power King, and other experts at this level couldn’t find its hiding spot easily or quickly; they could only dispatch a large number of scouts to search for it. They couldn’t detect its presence in the air, so they could only search for it slowly on the ground.
If the Mother Empress stayed motionless, then its aura concealment ability would reach an astounding level. Once it started flying at a high speed, however, it wouldn’t be able to hide from peerless powerhouses with a strong Divine Consciousness. As long as they dispatched a large number of scouts to search for it, the heavily injured Mother Empress wouldn’t be able to hide forever, and when it showed itself again, they would have an opportunity.
“Captain, I heard that the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord has already arrived into the Nine Underworld Mountain Range. Is this true?” A three-eyed Titan took several quick steps to chase after the captain, who held a large sword. This group had 25 Titans, and they all accepted wholeheartedly their experienced and powerful captain. That captain had good access to a lot of information due to his status.
“Humph! The City Amongst the Clouds’ Angel Battle Teams killed so many of our brothers...Even if the City Amongst the Clouds’ lord has arrived here personally, he can’t keep us from getting our revenge.” The captain, clad in heavy armor, snorted coldly and said, “The City Amongst the Clouds’ lord is very powerful, but our Power King isn’t any weaker. If worst comes to worst, we’ll just have to die together. So, who is afraid?”
“Captain, this forest is filled with the City Amongst the Clouds’ angel teams. So, why don’t we... ?” The three-eyed Titan made a throat-slitting gesture, and his eyes shone with an ominous glint.
“The great commander has issued orders. No one is allowed to fight unnecessarily before capturing the Mother Nest. Brothers, let’s bear this for just a few more days; let’s allow the City Amongst the Clouds’ birdmen to live for two more days.” The captain gnashed his teeth. Two of his brothers had been killed by the City Amongst the Clouds’ angels when they were escorting the Mother Egg. If the great commander hadn’t forbidden them from fighting before the Mother Nest’s capture, he would have torn apart any angels he came across.
...
The 25 Titans formed a small team and searched the forest carefully. They looked patiently for the Mother Nest’s tracks. On the way, as they thought about the aggressive and overbearing City Amongst the Clouds, they became very indignant, and they got lost in spirited discussion. They were unaware that a black blur followed them quietly; they were unaware that danger loomed over them.
25 Titans, and the strongest among them had just a Sixth Level Divine Duty Expert’s power. Was it really so?
Yang Ling was hiding in a treetop, observing them from above. He looked coldly at the Titan team that was closing in on him. In his eyes, those Titans were already dead men. Most of those 25 Titans had just a low-level Divine Duty Expert’s power. They were probably a very strong team to ordinary wanderers, but they posed no threat to Yang Ling.
“Binding Space, die!”
Yang Ling waited for the Titans to enter the ambush’s scope, holding out for just the right moment before attacking decisively. He pulled the Battle Soul Blade from his back and teleported. A lion would fight even a rabbit with its whole power. He would either not fight or make an all-out effort. Even though it seemed that the opponent posed no threat to him, he still wouldn’t take them carelessly. He planned to end the battle quickly to prevent any accidents.
Buzz!
The Titans shivered in Yang Ling’s Binding Space, and their power, as well as their speed, dropped greatly. They detected intense danger from the murderous aura that covered the land, and the Titan captain quickly responded. He ordered the Titans to get into formation and face the enemies. He was very swift, but he was still much slower than Yang Ling, who had practiced the Five Elements Evasion Spells to perfection.
Thump!
The sharp Battle Soul Blade slashed the Titan captain’s chest before he could even raise his sword to block the strike, creating a wound so deep that bones could be seen. Then, Yang Ling flicked his blade, and the Titan’s large head was chopped off. He had done it so efficiently; he was as swift as lightning. The surrounding Titans could only look on helplessly as their captain was beheaded, powerless to save him in time.
A swift murder in a single deadly strike!
“Dragon Domain!”
“Thunderous Strike!”
...
The Dark Dragon King and old Dragon Turtle, Kaleisa, attacked one after another. They quickly killed the Titans, whose power and speed had dropped greatly. Terrifying Soul Attacks, frantic close-quarters combat ability, as well as the Demon God Battle Formation: they had great offensive power. The Titans were caught off-guard, and they fell into an encirclement. They couldn’t fight back in the face of those powerful attacks. This battle didn’t have any suspense, and it was quickly concluded.
“Kaleisa, leave behind some Twelve-Winged Angel corpses, and let’s carry this out according to the plan. Let’s go!” Yang Ling took out the Titan captain’s Godhead with his hand before he issued these orders. He didn’t have to say anything as the experienced old Dragon Turtle had started bustling. They erased the distinct marks they’d left and took out several corpses of angels they’d prepared beforehand. They staged a bloody battle scene between Twelve-Winged Angels and Titans.
Yang Ling had attacked the Titans affiliated to the Power King and the City Amongst the Clouds to make the situation messier. Those two great factions were evenly matched, and they already had a deep feud. The numerous Angels and Titans would draw weapons the moment they saw each other. They were unaware of the truth, and they would explode with anger.
“The next target is a team of Twelve-Winged Angels 200 miles from here. Let’s go!” After making ample preparations, Yang Ling left with the crowd, and they rushed toward the next target. He quickly found the team of angels with his powerful Divine Consciousness.
A goshawk would fight even a rabbit!
Other people wouldn’t use a large machete to kill a chicken, but Yang Ling was different. He would always fight with his whole power, and he would quickly put an end to every battle. Before they started fighting, every person on the team would lock into one or several targets. Then, they would catch them off-guard, launching deadly surprise attacks on them. They would handle the situation in the shortest time possible.
Even a high-level Divine Duty Expert wasn’t a match for Yang Ling, the Golden Roc and the old Dragon Turtle. Plus, it was a surprise attack. The angels’ outcome was the same as the Titans: dozens of Twelve-Winged Angels were quickly laid out in a pool of blood. Some of them were killed on the spot; others were taken into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. They were tamed and turned into Blood Angels.
“This is the first group of the angel team. Let’s go to the next one.” Yang Ling sneered coldly and left behind several Titans’ corpses. He arranged them, then left quickly with the crowd. He looked for the next target.
In the next few days, Yang Ling launched many surprise attacks with the group. His targets encompassed other factions. He had even targeted some lone wanderers. In the beginning, even though various factions suspected that someone was behind those vicious assaults, they exercised restraint and focused their energy on the Mother Nest’s capture. As more people died, however, only the upper-echelon commanders could keep their calm; the ordinary soldiers began to lose control.
Some hostile factions’ men would strike first the moment they saw an opponent in order to gain the upper hand. They did it for revenge, but it might also have been self-defense. The situation quickly got of control, and a great conflict broke out between various factions. This was especially the case for the Power King’s Titans and the City Amongst the Clouds’ Twelve-Winged Angels. They would fight to the death upon seeing each other, and the conflict between them only grew.
The conflicts became more intense, and the situation turned messier. Meanwhile, all kinds of rumors were spreading.
Someone said that the City Amongst the Clouds had the greatest power. The City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord hadn’t just come here personally; they’d also built a large-scale Teleportation Formation Spell and summoned their main forces from various Dimensions. They used their great power to eliminate the hostile factions’ troops. They were determined to get the Mother Nest!
Someone said that the Power King had traveled personally from the Power Dimension to the Nine Phantom Mountain Range, and he’d brought with him the best Golden Titans affiliated to him. He used the Mother Egg to detect the Mother Nest’s location, so he already knew where it was. The reason he still hadn’t taken action was that he wanted to get rid of hostile factions covertly so that he wouldn’t become their prey upon seizing the Mother Nest.
Someone else said that after some small Divine Branches had discerned that they couldn’t get the Mother Nest due to the various great factions, they’d decided to form an alliance to capture the Mother Nest together. That was why they had to provoke the various great factions and stir up conflicts between them to incite them to kill each other. Those small Divine Branches had done all that to achieve their objective.
...
Rumors spread everywhere for a while, and everyone felt unsafe and anxious. When various great factions’ scouts ran into each other, they would surely strike first to protect themselves; they would even have a full-scale battle. They still hadn’t the Mother Nest, but their situation had turned messier.
Surprise attacks, against which no one could defend effectively, as well as the rumors spread by the Corpse Wizard King’s team, helped Yang Ling stir up conflicts between various great factions with deep rancor for each other. Others lost elites daily, while Yang Ling’s team only got stronger. He tamed a large number of Twelve-Winged Angels and formed a Twelve-winged Blood Angel Battle Team. In just a dozen days, several thousand people were killed by the Magical Beasts’ surprise attacks, and the number of Godheads accumulated in Yang Ling’s spatial ring skyrocketed.
One day, when Yang Ling was about to launch an attack with the group and dispose of an Angel Battle Team from the City Amongst the Clouds, the Flying Dragon King Seylius, who was in charge of intelligence, rushed back quickly. “Lord, the City Amongst the Clouds and the King of Darkness discovered the Mother Nest at the same time! They have already blocked up the whole valley.”
“Very good. Let’s go right away.” Yang Ling didn’t hesitate at all; he urgently summoned the Corpse Wizard King, Kaleisa, and the others. They mounted the Golden Roc and swiftly headed off to the valley where the Mother Nest had gone into hiding, under the guidance of the Flying Dragon King, Seylius.
