Chapter 180: Chapter 177: Battle Against the Hundred-Man Team

"Roar!"

The enraged roar of the Water and Fire Golden Ape traveled from miles away.

Ye Zhen was startled and suddenly flew up into the air, only to see the Southern Barbarian Tribe’s tiger-striped youth, Da Hai, commanding his five Demon Servants and a hundred-man squad of the Demon Soul Army in a fierce battle.

The Hundred-man General of the Demon Soul Army, who had reached the Second and Third Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was actually blasted to pieces by Da Hai using his Mid-grade Treasure Bow with three rapid-fire arrows.

This scene made Ye Zhen’s scalp tingle.

"This bastard couldn’t be here specifically to hunt me down, could he? How could he appear right behind me so coincidentally?"

Without any hesitation, Ye Zhen mounted the Cloud Winged Tiger and turned into a streak of white light, speeding away.

While speeding away, Ye Zhen grabbed a handful of Human-Level top Demon Cores from his storage ring and stuffed them into the Cloud Winged Tiger’s mouth. The high intensity and high-speed flight greatly exhausted the Cloud Winged Tiger, and Demon Cores and Spirit Crystals were its best supplements.

A hundred breaths later, Da Hai, who had dealt with the hundred-man squad of the Demon Soul Army, arrived at the site where Ye Zhen and Bu Changxuan were engaged in battle, sniffed with his nose, touched the fresh blood on the ground, and then stomped his foot in frustration.

"This bastard escaped again! However, the blood hasn’t completely congealed; he definitely left no more than 15 minutes ago."

"Chase!"

Mounting the Water and Fire Golden Ape again, Da Hai, together with his Demon Servants, pursued majestically in the direction where Ye Zhen had fled.

"Those who dare to kill my clansmen must undoubtedly die!" Anger flared in Da Hai’s eyes.

...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

While engaging a ten-man squad of the Demon Soul Army, Ye Zhen suddenly heard the sound of the earth trembling from afar.

"Damn it, this guy really won’t leave me alone!"

Without even bothering to pick up the Demon Soul Blood Crystals that had fallen to the ground, Ye Zhen leapt onto the Cloud Winged Tiger and fled frantically.

Almost simultaneously, Da Hai of the Southern Barbarians, riding the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk, soared into the sky. Watching Ye Zhen flee, he let out a cold sneer and, mouthing peculiar syllables, the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk flapped its wings, chasing after Ye Zhen, who was mounted on the Cloud Winged Tiger, like a bolt of lightning.

Though the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk was fast, the Cloud Winged Tiger, inherently capable of controlling the winds and clouds, was not far behind. Its short wings vibrated, stirring the wind and the clouds, and its speed surged instantaneously.

However, the current Cloud Winged Tiger Cub was not fully grown and had only the Lower-grade Earth Level Cultivation. This difference in cultivation made its speed slightly slower than the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk by a tenth or two.

This difference in speed caused the gap between the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk and the Cloud Winged Tiger to continuously close.

"This time, I’ll see where you can escape!"

The distance grew ever nearer, and gradually, there were only ten li between the two in the sky!

Nine li!

Eight li!

Six li!

Five li!

Just as the distance closed to five li, the Green Wing Divine Bow suddenly appeared in the hands of the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner, Da Hai.

Hum!

As the Green Wing Divine Bow throbbed with sounds of humming, it was drawn full circle, gathering a terrifying aura that seemed like a tsunami about to break. Spiritual energy flickered on Da Hai’s fingertips, and three green Spiritual Power Arrows were successively placed on the Green Wing Divine Bow!

However, Da Hai did not shoot immediately; instead, he quietly waited as the distance continued to close.

The arrows shot by the Green Wing Divine Bow were extremely fast, but ultimately, they were not lightning; if they were shot from too great a distance, they would still allow the enemy time to dodge.

But at a distance of four li or less, there was no missing under the Spirit Transformation Realm! A distance of four li meant the arrows would reach their target almost instantly, leaving the opponent no time to dodge.

The terrifying aura on the Green Wing Divine Bow had already shocked Ye Zhen.

When Ye Zhen looked back and saw the three Spiritual Power Arrows mounted on the Green Wing Divine Bow, he was suddenly alarmed!

"Die!"

Da Hai’s fingers loosened, and the three Spiritual Power Arrowheads shot out rapidly, their piercing shrieks merging into one. The high-speed arrows broke through the air as if slicing through water.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen lept from the Cloud Winged Tiger, and the Sky Crystal Sword was immediately slashed forward with ferocious momentum. The Low Grade Treasure Sword, which he had just seized from Bu Changxuan and Maa Zhi, appeared in Ye Zhen’s left hand, emitting a fierce Ice Fiend Qi as it slashed forward!

Boom!

The first Spiritual Power Arrow collided ferociously with Ye Zhen’s Wind Sweeping Cloud Sword Stance. In an instant, a mighty wave of air rolled outward, and both the Spiritual Power Arrow and the Wind Sweeping Cloud Sword Stance were annihilated!

Sizzle!

At the same time, the moisture in the air was directly turned into ice by the Ice Fiend Qi, instantly blasted apart by the second Spiritual Power Arrow with a piercing noise!

The residual force of the second Spiritual Power Arrow, along with the third Spiritual Power Arrow, ferociously targeted Ye Zhen’s critical point in his chest!

In that instant, Ye Zhen, with the Low Grade Treasure Sword seized from Maa Zhi in his left hand, swiftly blocked in front of his chest!

Thump!

The Low Grade Treasure Sword seized from Maa Zhi shattered into pieces, but it successfully blocked the residual force of the second Spiritual Power Arrow and the third Spiritual Power Arrow. Only a trace of the Spiritual Power Arrowhead hit the Protective Spirit Force surrounding Ye Zhen.

Almost simultaneously, instead of retreating, Ye Zhen advanced, sweeping forward like a fierce wind toward Da Hai, the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner, who continued to charge fiercely.

The Sky Crystal Sword was raised, the wind and clouds changed abruptly, and a sword slashed out!

The wind assisted the sword’s might, and as the sword gathered the cloud’s momentum, a tornado-like sword light suddenly cleaved towards the rushing Da Hai.

As soon as the sword light emerged, Da Hai’s face drastically changed!

Although he was from the Southern Barbarian Tribe, Da Hai had an eye for such things. If he were to take this strike head-on, it would definitely cost him dearly.

In the split second, Da Hai fiercely patted the neck of the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk, making its form shift as it suddenly dived downwards, like it was plummeting.

"Now, it’s my turn to chase you!"

With a move, Ye Zhen unleashed the Wind Sweeping Cloud Body Skill, chasing after the tail of the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk like a fierce wind, and another Wind Sweeps Away Clouds cleaved out.

When the sword light hit the tail of the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk, it accelerated to avoid Ye Zhen’s sword light, but still a few tail feathers were severed by the sword Qi.

"Hmph!"

With a thought of Divine Sense, the Cloud Winged Tiger flew beneath Ye Zhen, picking him up and shooting straight into the clouds.

As long as they could escape from the terrifying demon beast, the Water and Fire Golden Ape of Upper-grade Earth Level, and close the distance so Da Hai’s Green Wing Divine Bow couldn’t be effectively utilized, Da Hai was no real threat to Ye Zhen!

However, the speed of the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk was too fast, far beyond what a Spirit Summoning Realm martial artist could match in flying speed, not even the Cloud Winged Tiger could catch up, forcing Ye Zhen to choose to leave.

Fifteen minutes later, Da Hai, riding the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk, arrived at the previous battleground, but Ye Zhen’s traces were lost.

"Hmph, next time, I’ll definitely not let you escape!"

Having lost Ye Zhen’s trace and Da Hai himself, unable to chase due to his creature that was skilled in tracking scents still being behind, could only wait.

Moreover, he could not stray too far from his other demon servants.

In the clouds, Ye Zhen, having escaped from the chase of Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai, looked quite gloomy.

This Da Hai truly was a stubborn character, including this time, he had chased Ye Zhen three times in three days. No matter how far Ye Zhen ran, every other day, he could track down Ye Zhen.

The scent on himself was already concealed by Ye Zhen, but the Cloud Winged Tiger was too big, the medicine powder Ye Zhen used to cover up the scent simply wasn’t enough.

What made Ye Zhen even more depressed was that Da Hai’s chase a day ago caused Ye Zhen to miss the gathering signal issued by Third Prince Zhu Kun.

According to the agreement, six hours after the signal was issued, the meeting place would change, and any martial artist who did not arrive within six hours had to wait for the second gathering signal.

At that time, Ye Zhen had been chased by Da Hai, and by the time he was free, six hours had already passed!

The sky of the Battlefield of Demon Souls was a blood-red color without any obvious landmarks. Now, after several battles, without the direction indicated by the gathering signal, it was impossible to find the martial artists from the Black Water Kingdom.

The Battlefield of Demon Souls seemed to have no end, as Ye Zhen had explored for several days without finding one.

After wildly flying in one direction for three hours, Ye Zhen landed back on the ground. The Cloud Winged Tiger Cub hadn’t fully grown yet, the maximum duration it could sustain flight was about five hours.

It was necessary to ensure the Cloud Winged Tiger maintained a certain combat power to deal with crises.

Unable to gather temporarily, Ye Zhen couldn’t just idle around. He started patrolling a hilly area, looking for potential battle opportunities to hunt Demon Soul Soldiers.

Up to now, Ye Zhen still didn’t know where the Demon Soul Soldiers were coming from. Sometimes, in some places, a group of Demon Soul Soldiers would suddenly appear, as if waking up instantly.

Perhaps, it was the Demon Soul Blood Crystals that had merged into the ground reassembling together again.

Swish!

Nine Flowing Cloud Sword Qi surged into the sky, taking a strange turn, combining into one, directly blasting a Ten-Man Commander of Demon Souls, sweeping across with a seven-yard-long Sword Gang, cleaving the remaining nine Demon Soul Soldiers who were only at the peak of True Essence Realm Fifth Stage in half!

"Killing this Demon Soul Ten-man Squad was rather easy!"

Ye Zhen delightedly collected the Demon Soul Blood Crystals on the ground. With this pace, as long as he found enough Demon Soul Ten-man Squads, gathering ten thousand Blood Crystals was not too difficult a task!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deep and stirring sound of war drums abruptly entered Ye Zhen’s ears.

Above the hillock, a war chariot pulling war drums suddenly appeared in Ye Zhen’s field of vision.

Ye Zhen’s expression turned into shock.

"A war drums chariot?"

In the Demon Soul Legion, the smallest formation capable of having a war drums chariot was a Hundred-man Squad.

The appearance of the war drums chariot indicated the possibility of a Hundred-man Squad, a Thousand-man Unit, or even a Ten Thousand Man Army!

From all around the hillock, dense troops of Demon Soul Soldiers appeared, marching in precise steps and advancing menacingly towards Ye Zhen!

"Hundred-man Squad!"

The moment Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, his form abruptly soared into the sky, attempting to leave from above!

"Kill!"

When the Hundred-man General of the Demon Soul Legion roared, his form transformed into a blood light soaring into the sky, the blood-colored long blade in his hand slashing at Ye Zhen like lightning.

Bang!

As their blades clashed, Ye Zhen was blasted back to the ground like a cannonball.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull yet rousing sound of war drums rang out, and squads of Ten-man Demon Souls, like they were converging, closed in on Ye Zhen!

"Kill!"

In the bloodthirsty and fierce shouts of the Demon Soul Soldiers, each raised their blood-colored long blades and charged towards Ye Zhen! (To be continued.
