Chapter 521: Chapter 128: Valley of Destruction_5
Watching nearly a hundred of his tribe members fall in an instant, the Wing King held back his injuries and roared angrily, "Every winged tribesperson, ascend to the sky, I don’t believe he can fly higher than us." True enough, although Xuan Yuan possesed the same ability as Ah Dai to rise into the sky using fighting energy, that energy was ultimately limited. As he unleashed several powerful attacks in the sky, and after killing tens more of the winged tribesmen, he had no choice but to descend towards the ground. The remaining winged tribesmen, led by the Wing King, quickly descended to a mountaintop, leaving the clerics of the Holy Church trapped in the valley.
After Na Yan swallowed two healing Golden Cores that Emperor Xuan Ye had given him, his complexion improved slightly. But despite the Golden Core’s strong healing properties, Na Yan was nearly eighty years old, and having suffered such severe injuries and heavy blood loss, meant that he was still extremely weak. Xuan Ye, his eyes red with emotion, called out anxiously, "Father-in-law, Father-in-law, you must hold on!" He knew that if it wasn’t for Na Yan’s timely rescue, he might have already perished under the golden Throwing Spear. "It’s all my fault for being so rash, Father-in-law, you cannot die!"
Na Yan’s pale face showed a bitter smile as he sighed, "Child, I’m not going to die just yet. You’re still too young. This is the best lesson for you, remember it well! We’re trapped here, don’t worry about me. The enemy will appear soon, first drive off the enemy, remember, if things get overwhelming, retreat immediately, don’t linger in battle. With your abilities, you should be able to breakthrough the entrance of the valley, if we can escape one by one, let it be so."
Xuan Ye handed Na Yan’s body to a judge next to him. He slowly stood up, his face twisted in grief and indignation. Bellowing out, "Come out, you bastards! All of you, come out. Wing King, if I do not kill you in this life, I vow never to live as a human again."
The Wing King had also suffered significant injuries after being struck by Xuan Yuan’s powerful blows just now, and the two Silver Wing Elders had no more strength to continue fighting. He stood on top of the mountain, in a hateful voice, said, "Xuan Ye, you don’t need to be belligerent. Here lies your grave and the end of your so-called life. You have no future. Moon King, what are you waiting for? Start now!"
"Little brother, you still lack composure. If you had used your spear attack as soon as you entered the valley, there would have been more casualties amongst the church leaders. The Pope really spared no expense this time by sending so many people. The power of Judge Xuan Yuan really opened my eyes!" The voice suddenly changed, the initial gentleness turned into an eerie cold, "The Twelve Kings, appear. Let us welcome the guests from the church with death." As soon as the voice fell, countless shadows emerged from the mountains surrounding the valley, forming several neat lines and looking menacingly down at the churchmen like wolves watching their prey.
Xuan Yuan looked at the military forces appearing on the mountainside, his steadfast resolve shook for a moment. Standing on the mountains around them were countless soldiers from the alien races, including the Winged Tribe, Dwarf Clan, Half-Beast Clan, their target this trip, the Dark Demon Clan, and even a few races they did not recognize, numbering over ten thousand. Without any command from Xuan Ye and the others, the Sacred Knights and Judges had already formed a circle around Xuan Ye and the six White Robe Priests. They all knew that they could only survive by killing all their enemies, and for a time, all of them showed a resolute expression to fight to their death.
A group of people suddenly appeared on the mountain directly in front of Xuan Ye. Their attires varied, but just by one look, it was evident that they were the leaders of the enemy. The one leading them was extraordinarily beautiful, appearing to be in her twenties and exuding an air of warmth. Wrapped in a tight black outfit, her voluptuous figure was captivating. A prominent silver crescent mark sat on her forehead, which contrasted starkly against her porcelain skin and black attire.
"How do you find my Valley of Destruction, honorable guests from the Church? Ah, it seems the Winged Tribe’s reputation has some effect. I’m really sorry about what has happened."
No one in the Church had ever seen this young girl before. Xuan Ye felt a cold shiver in his heart. Though she did not display any powerful aura on the surface, but the cold glimmers flickering in the depths of her eyes, which sharply contrasted her warm smile, betrayed her inner thoughts. Could these people be the forces that had been hidden in the shadows? They are indeed powerful! Xuan Ye, his hand behind his back, signalled a simple gesture to the six White Robe Priests behind him. These Priests all had the strength of a Magus or higher. Seeing Xuan Ye’s signal, they immediately lowered their heads, quietly chanting spells. Xuan Ye stared fixedly at the girl on the mountaintop, and to buy time for his Priests to chant properly, he called out loudly, "Who are you people? Why are you assisting the Dark Demon Clan against the Church?"
The Silvery Moon maiden let out a silver bell-like laughter. Her voice was so enchanting, as if it could ensnare souls, filled with an unusual seductive force. Even with Xuan Ye’s steely determination, he couldn’t help but feel shaken, let alone the others. A slight commotion started breaking out in the ranks of the Church. Some of the more junior Sacred Knights could hardly suppress their primal urges, their eyes locked on the Silvery Moon maiden on the mountain, eyes filled with lust.
