Chapter 204: Chapter 201: Battlefield Promotion

With a casual press of the hand, Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s Green Jade Handprint of Vein Forging Realm suddenly flew out, once again confronting the Four Symbols Dragon Spirit from the Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect!

Boom!

The dazzling radiance burst like a mini sun, the shockwave from the clash of the two Vein Forging Realm Divine Abilities rippled through the air like water waves.

However, the face of Yu Ruhai, the Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect, suddenly tensed!

With a flick of his wrist, he shattered the remaining force of the weakened Green Jade Handprint, which was about the size of a thumb and half a palm.

"The War Soul Blood Banner is indeed extraordinary!"

Originally, Guo Qijing’s Green Jade Handprint and Yu Ruhai’s Four Symbols Dragon Spirit were evenly matched, but with the enhancement of the War Soul Blood Banner, Guo Qijing’s Green Jade Handprint gained the upper hand.

Never underestimate such a slight advantage, in a showdown amongst masters, even a tiny gap can determine the outcome.

However, as he spoke, a hint of regret still flashed across Guo Qijing’s eyes.

With 20% enhancement from the War Soul Blood Banner, it could secure his victory but was still inadequate, just enough to win. If there were a bit more, perhaps it could have seriously challenged the Sword Origin Sect!

"The War Soul Blood Banner, indeed a treasure, but now, it shall belong to our Sword Origin Sect!"

Out of nowhere, Zou Zhi, an elder from Sword Origin Sect, appeared in the void, launching a Sword Light directly at the War Soul Blood Banner.

Whoosh!

The piercing scream of the Sword Light piercing the sky suddenly rang out.

"Zou, thinking of stealing the War Soul Blood Banner, first ask my sword in hand!"

The Sword Light, along with the figure of Liao Feibai, appeared simultaneously.

"Hmph, Liao Rakshasa, even if your body is made of iron, how many nails can you strike?"

Yua Gaobo, another elder of the Sword Origin Sect, also appeared above Ye Zhen and others at the same time.

"What about adding me into the mix?"

A flash of silver light suddenly appeared, and the Elder Yua Gaobo who just had tried to snatch the War Soul Blood Banner was blasted back by Master Chu Taiping of Lishui Sect.

"The Sect Leader has finally arrived!" Tong Wei, who had just caught Departure Stone Elder, sighed in relief.

"Elder Zhong, how are you?"

Ye Zhen swiftly rushed to Zhongli Jing and Lik Shi, who had been caught by Han Shi.

At that moment, both Zhongli Jing and Lik Shi had faces as pale as gold paper, their auras extremely weak; Ye Zhen could even feel that their life force was rapidly degrading.

It was like an injured tiger, still the king of beasts despite grave injuries. But a severely wounded tiger, if degenerated to a cat, even if it recovers, could never retain the king’s majesty.

Both Zhongli Jing and Lik Shi had burned their Origin Spiritual Power to unleash tremendous combat power, stalling Yu Ruhai, the Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect, for quite some time. However, their origin was damaged, and their cultivation realm had definitely declined.

From this, one could see the magnitude of the sacrifices they had made!

"Heh, I still have a long life, I won’t die!"

"Don’t worry, if Old Ghost Zhong doesn’t die, I certainly won’t die before him!"

Zhongli Jing and Lik Shi had been locked in a sect rivalry for decades. Now, suddenly faced with an outside enemy, they found themselves fighting like life-and-death foes.

"Sword Origin Sect unexpectedly intercepted us midway, it’s simply too outrageous!" Witnessing the tragic state of the two elders, Tong Wei, Gao Xinglie, and others felt a strong urge to take action.

"Don’t... Your cultivation is still too low. In a battle between great powers of the Soul Sea Realm and even the Vein Forging Realm, acting rashly would only lead you to your deaths..."

Zhongli Jing stopped the others, but his gaze turned to Ye Zhen!

"Elder, I understand!"

The War Soul Blood Flag was raised, and streaks of blood light immediately shot into the newly arrived elders aiding in the fight, including Master Chu Taiping of the Lishui Sect.

As time passed, more and more top martial artists from both countries gathered. It seemed that Sword Origin Sect had deployed all their forces to seize the War Soul Blood Flag, bringing a total of fifteen Soul Sea Realm experts.

On the side of the Black Water Kingdom, five from the Qiyun Sect came and six from the Lishui Sect, amassing a collection of formidable experts.

If Zhongli Jing and Lik Shi weren’t injured, they would have had a numerical advantage, but now both were injured and unable to fight.

The battle of the top powerhouses between the two countries turned into fifteen against twelve; numerically, the Black Water Kingdom was at a disadvantage.

This numerical disadvantage was almost impossible to overturn, especially since a member of the Royal Family also got injured.

Normally, in a one-on-one battle between Soul Sea Realm experts of Sword Origin Sect and Black Water Kingdom, even if they could determine a winner, it would take a very long time.

Just like the ongoing fierce battle between Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing and Sword Origin Sect Sect Master Yu Ruhai. Although Guo Qijing, bolstered by the War Soul Blood Banner, had been maintaining the upper hand and pressing down on Sect Master Yu Ruhai,

to achieve victory, to completely defeat Yu Ruhai, it wouldn’t be possible without hours of fierce combat!

At their level of cultivation, the speed of spiritual power recovery and physical endurance had become very strong, making it incredibly difficult to defeat an opponent in a short time.

Under the blessing of Ye Zhen’s War Soul Blood Banner, the combat power of all Black Water Kingdom martial artists soared by twenty percent. In a one-on-one situation, they took a comprehensive advantage.

If this state continued, it wouldn’t take more than an hour for Black Water Kingdom to turn small victories into a major win and completely secure victory in this battle for the flag.

But, the numbers were unequal!

The injuries of Lik Shi and Zhongli Jing gave Sword Origin Sect a numerical advantage of three people.

If it weren’t for the boost from the War Soul Blood Banner, and the spectacular performances of Master Chu Taiping of Lishui Sect and the demon-faced Rakshasa, Liao Feibai, who took on two and three opponents respectively, the Black Water Kingdom would have already been defeated!

Liao Feibai taking on two was already struggling, and Master Chu Taiping taking on three, was already showing signs of defeat!

However, at this moment, the weakest link was not Master Chu Taiping, who was facing three opponents, but the previously injured Royal Family’s Chariot Attendant.

Under the relentless pursuit of Sword Origin Sect’s Ninth Elder Dai Hao, the Royal Family’s Chariot Attendant was already vomiting blood repeatedly, and it seemed he couldn’t hold on much longer!

"Elder Dai, quickly finish off that Chariot Attendant, and then seize the War Soul Blood Banner!"

The voice of Yu Ruhai, who was firmly suppressed by Guo Qijing’s continuous attacks, rang out.

"Sect Leader, rest assured, within a hundred breaths, it shall be resolved!"

"Impossible!"

With a furious roar, Guo Qijing’s figure flashed like lightning, wanting to lend a helping hand to the Royal Family’s Chariot Attendant, aiming to deal with or severely injure Sword Origin Sect’s Elder Dai first.

"Guo Qijing, do you think this Sect Leader is made of mud?"

With the sound of a dragon’s roar, Yu Ruhai’s Four Symbols Dragon Spirit rushed towards Guo Qijing like a fierce dragon, forcing Guo Qijing to take the hit without being able to turn back.

In an instant, Guo Qijing was entangled with Yu Ruhai once again.

"Sect Leader, I will go assist the Chariot Attendant!"

Grand Elder Lut Changchuan of the Qiyun Sect roared angrily, repelling his opponent and struck like lightning towards Elder Dai of the Sword Origin Sect.

However, Grand Elder Lut Changchuan merely managed to relieve the Royal Chariot Attendant of just one encirclement. The opponent he had repelled struck back like lightning, and in his haste to save the latter, he found himself at a disadvantage, unable to turn the tables for the time being.

For a moment, the situation of the Royal Family Chariot Attendant became extremely perilous!

"The opponent in front of Lik Quan is the weakest, but to secure a complete victory, it would still take at least half an hour! Just as long as the Chariot Attendant can hold out until Elder Lik Quan wins, we, the Black Water Kingdom, would have secured victory."

"Brother Zhong, how about you and I muster the last of our strength to help the Chariot Attendant endure this half hour?"

As they spoke, the severely injured Zhongli Jing and Lik Shi surprisingly stood up, intending to fight again!

"Elder, I’ll go!"

"Elder, you rest, I’ll go!"

Tong Wei and Gao Xinglie stood up simultaneously.

"It’s pointless, your cultivation hasn’t even reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, you can’t help at all."

The spirit light around Zhongli Jing and Lik Shi surged once more, but their bodies’ vibrant spirit light flickered and trembled continuously, showing the strain they were under!

"Elders, let me!" Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly intercepted in front of Lik Shi and Zhongli Jing.

"You?"

"Ye Zhen, it’s no use you going up there either!"

"No, I’m not going to take action myself, but I have a way to increase the enhancement level of the War Soul Blood Banner by forty percent!"

Ye Zhen was well aware of his own limits. Perhaps, with the Green Wing Divine Bow and the Origin Sword Vein he now possessed, he could threaten or even kill lower-level Spirit Transformation Realm combatants.

As for the Soul Sea Realm, it was out of the question.

But if the level of the War Soul Blood Banner could be enhanced, that would be a different story!

"Really?"

"Truly?"

Lik Shi and Zhongli Jing were immediately stunned.

As Ye Zhen nodded, the long-silenced Third Prince Zhu Kun finally found a chance to speak, "Ye Zhen, then hurry! If it can be improved by forty percent, why didn’t you use it earlier?"

Ye Zhen simply ignored the nearly idiotic urging of Third Prince Zhu Kun. He wasn’t foolish; if he could have used it earlier, would he have waited until now?

"Elders, before using it, I need to enhance the level of the War Soul Blood Banner, however, I’m not sure how long it will take! If the Chariot Attendant completely falls before I succeed, then..."

At this point, Ye Zhen’s nose suddenly turned sore.

"Then quickly enhance the level of the War Soul Blood Banner! I will not let that situation occur, even if it costs me this old life!"

Ye Zhen said this because this battle had already become a matter of life and death for the Black Water Kingdom!

If the Chariot Attendant were killed, it could likely lead to a total defeat, and then, the major figures of the Black Water Kingdom would fall, not just one or two!

"Alright!"

The War Soul Blood Banner flew up abruptly, suspended evenly in the air, and a Storage Bracelet flew up, suddenly spilling a small mountain-like pile of Demon Soul Blood Crystals on top of the War Soul Blood Banner.

The blood light surged dramatically, the Demon Soul Blood Crystals encountering the War Soul Blood Banner vaporized swiftly like snow under hot soup, turning into bright blood light, which was instantly absorbed by the War Soul Blood Banner!

Seeing the appearance of these tens of thousands of Demon Soul Blood Crystals, everyone was instantly astounded!

"Senior Brother Ye, you... you... did you slaughter an army of tens of thousands of Demon Souls?"

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that Ye Zhen could possess such a massive amount of Demon Soul Blood Crystals.

Ye Zhen remained silent and focused fully on operating the War Soul Blood Banner to refine the Demon Soul Blood Crystals.

The refining speed of the War Soul Blood Banner was fast enough, as the Demon Soul Blood Crystals touched it, they were refined, but there were too many needed to be refined, at least a hundred thousand!

Ye Zhen estimated that with this speed, it would not be done in even a quarter of an hour, let alone two hours.

"So, does it have to refine all these Demon Soul Blood Crystals to be considered successful?" Zhongli Jing also saw some clues.

Ye Zhen silently nodded!

"This..."

Lik Shi and Zhongli Jing smiled bitterly at each other as the spirit light around them rose again!

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen spoke again, "I have a way to speed up the absorption rate!"

The very next moment, Ye Zhen’s divine sense surged wildly into the War Soul Blood Banner.

Whoosh!

As the blood light of the War Soul Blood Banner flourished, it suddenly increased tenfold, and the speed of refining the Demon Soul Blood Crystals increased exponentially by more than ten times!

Almost at the same time, two more Storage Bracelets flew up, and over a hundred thousand Demon Soul Blood Crystals piled up instantly.

"So many Demon Soul Blood Crystals..."

This time, whether it was Zhongli Jing or Lik Shi, or even the Black Water Kingdom martial artists who had entered the Battlefield of Demon Souls, were completely dumbfounded.

Tong Wei even began rubbing his own eyes!

With such a massive amount of Demon Soul Blood Crystals, how did Ye Zhen manage it?

Could he have slaughtered an army of fifty or sixty thousand Demon Souls? Was that even possible?

Certainly not, not even if all the martial artists who entered the battlefield banded together.

"This... so many Demon Soul Blood Crystals, Ye Zhen, how did you..."

Zhongli Jing timely gave Lik Shi a silencing gesture, at this moment, absolutely not to disturb Ye Zhen.

In midair, everyone held their breath, full of questions, watching the progress of the War Soul Blood Banner refining Demon Soul Blood Crystals and the situation in the sky, extremely anxious!
