Chapter 2213: Chapter 2213: All Five Old Geezers Show Up
Because it was a unified action, the speed was extremely fast. At the same time on the same day, everyone around started fighting at once. In just over half a day, the losses in the core area were immense.
On one hand, it was because they overestimated the strength of the core area’s elites, and the other side underestimated their own strength.
Both sides evaluated each other based on hard power; who would have thought, the actual combat ability would differ so much. Although combat techniques seem insignificant, they play a considerable role in battles.
On the other hand, it was an issue with those elites in the core area; they didn’t either gather together or leave.
Perhaps they never thought the people from the surrounding areas would actually dare to attack them, and so quickly and suddenly. They still thought they would talk sense or deliver an ultimatum or something.
In a real war, how could there be such things unless the other side wants to achieve some other purpose.
As a result, in one day, the other side lost a large number of cities, where less than half the residents could survive; the others turned into undead creatures, continuing to attack under their very noses.
The loss of so many cities, although they were the fringe cities of the core area, still had a significant impact.
Continuing the attack inwards means moving into the control cities of the Holy City area.
These cities’ losses will directly affect the Holy City’s reinforcement; now even those Saints couldn’t sit still.
"Are they planning to completely annihilate the core area? These damn bastards."
"If we let them continue their rampage, the outcome would be really dire; we must take action. Send the order, all troops move out, let those tier-seven and tier-eight people support the surroundings first."
The Saints issued commands no one dared to disobey, so people around began to take action.
Gathering a large number of personnel, movement speed was surely affected. Some even intentionally delayed using various excuses to protect their lives by arriving late on the battlefield.
Everyone initially thought they were very brave, but it was only in such war situations that they realized what kind of person they truly were. Facing a real life-and-death war, who wouldn’t be scared if they hadn’t fought many battles before.
Of course, some were not afraid, but once on the battlefield, they were often the first to collapse completely. Among those running around recklessly, many were them.
But now, the battlefield’s main characters were not them, as pressure descended from above.
"Hehe, the five old guys have all come out, let’s go, it’s time for us to fight too." Du You appeared high in the air with the two sisters, far from the ground.
But tier-nine is tier-nine, their battle here would surely impact the ground. Once this battle exploded, the core area would need comprehensive repairs before it could be used again.
Most of the buildings and even cities in the core area could not be preserved.
Therefore, the three new generation tier-nines didn’t want to fight at all, while the two saints from ancient times didn’t care at all.
"New Saint, we admit your status, but what you’re doing is too much. Leave immediately, and we can divide the territories with you." The Cold Ice Saint was surrounded by chill, as if snow was falling around.
Du You calmly said, "I’m not here to reason with you; I want to control the world, and you are the final stumbling blocks." Du You realized that all of them were only at the early stage of tier-nine.
Even the two stronger ancient Saints, it was just that they had more means, and maybe their level was one, or perhaps half a level higher than the three behind them, who knows.
After all, people in this world don’t have the strict level divisions like Professionals.
"There are only three of you, but there are five of us; if it comes to a fight, you’ll suffer."
Du You smiled indifferently: "Who knows, strength cannot be measured by numbers alone. Yucha, Yu Shi, let’s do what we planned." Du You said to the two sisters.
The sisters nodded slightly, casually shot out an arrow, targeting the two ancient Saints.
"Very well, dare to choose us as opponents, you’ll know what a mistake that was." The two Saints didn’t care at all; going all out was good, a chance to clean up the central area.
By then, if the Holy City was destroyed, those three guys wouldn’t be their match, and they could take the opportunity to rebuild the Holy City.
Meanwhile, the other three were quite apprehensive. Du You didn’t mind, waved his hand, and an immense flame engulfed the three. The intense heat distorted the surrounding space.
"Damn bastard, dare to use fire in front of me, let me show you what a veteran Saint can do."
The Cold Ice Saint was also furious: "Another one using fire, always so annoying."
But as soon as they engaged, they felt something was off because the Flame Saint’s flame was being redirected by the opponent, and the Cold Ice Saint’s ice was outright melted by Du You, with no effect whatsoever.
Their Holy City still reinforced them, and this place certainly didn’t have reinforcement for the opponent.
If they weren’t confident in their own strength, they’d suspect they were under an illusion. One against two, still holding the advantage in their stronghold, how could this be, was this guy really just newly ascended?
"Not only flames, but I can also use ice." Du You had recorded practitioners of all kinds of Elemental Laws in this world, not just a single one. Instantly, the surrounding chill gathered, with countless snowflakes forming around, shaping into white snowflakes to become icicles, sweeping towards the Cold Ice Saint.
The terrifying power made the opponent shiver. After engaging, the Cold Ice Saint discovered that their fundamental ice law wasn’t even stronger than the opponent’s; how did this guy cultivate.
Could it be, there’s some secret in the surrounding areas they didn’t know about? After this war, they’d surely send troops to seize the surrounding areas. It wasn’t just the Cold Ice Saint who thought so, the others did too.
"What the hell are you two doing, two-on-one and still losing?"
Finally, the Rageblood Saint couldn’t hold back anymore, drew his giant sword as large as a door, and charged at Du You. The speed of close-range explosions wasn’t something the other Saints could match, especially this warrior-born guy.
But facing such an attack, a trace of disdain flashed in Du You’s eyes, the technique was too poor.
