Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 275 The Fall of Yongxue City_1

Seven grandmasters of the martial arts in the Innate Realm, proudly standing suspended in the air, were like seven towering mountains weighing on the hearts of everyone in Yongxue City.

At this moment, no matter who it was, including Wang Jiuzhi and others, a sense of powerlessness and deep despair rose in their hearts.

In the previous battle, six grandmasters of the Innate Realm had already pressed the forces of Da Xia to the point where they could barely breathe, and their fate hung by a thread at any moment, not to mention that now another one had unexpectedly appeared.

"Breaking Wave Clan!" One of the grandmasters from the Wang family recognized at a glance that the grandmaster of the Innate Realm who had joined the barbarian and demonic sects' ranks was the previous clan leader of the Breaking Wave Clan.

"Today, Yan State will surely be plunged into a bloodbath, and even you, if you do not submit, will die here today!" the leader of the Holy Shadows Sect stated coldly, wearing a black robe as he pressured the grandmasters of Da Xia.

At that moment, the supreme elder of the Feixue Sword Sect stood with his sword, letting out a cold laugh, saying, "The wise man submits to the times. Da Xia has been arrogant and oppressive for twenty-three years, and today it's time to pay its debts!"

"Yan Qing, do you still refuse to submit?!" The grandmaster from the Black Sky Sect, with a sinister look and garb featuring the image of the evil god of the Great Dark Sky, gazed down icily.

The commander of Jing Tian Department in Yan State, Yan Qing, stood firm, rising into the sky, his eyes flashing like lightning, saying, "Even if I die today, I will drag you two down with me!"

"A fight to the death, what is there to fear!" Wang Jiuzhi likewise declared.

"Foolish dreams," scoffed the grandmaster of the Innate Realm from the Qiu family, the previous head of the family, with a sneer of disdain.

Seven grandmasters in the Innate Realm, plus the five from Da Xia's side, made for a total of twelve appearing in the battle of Yan State. Such an event had not occurred in the land for decades.

To know, reaching the Innate Realm is extremely difficult; even for top powers, typically there would be only one at most. Only a few, like the Wang family, would have as many as two grandmasters of the Innate Realm.

Now, with twelve mobilized for this one battle, one could imagine the sensation it would cause throughout the world if word got out.

Not to mention, this battle in Yan State carried multiple meanings and was set to change the balance of power in the land.

Gu Chen stood atop the city wall, watching the seven grandmasters of the Innate Realm suspended in the air, pressuring the people of Da Xia, and his fists unintentionally clenched tighter as he once again realized the importance of strength.

Without strength, one would be controlled and trampled upon by others, powerless to do anything but sit back and sigh in longing.

Gu Chen cursed that he was not a grandmaster of the Innate Realm, unable to join in and partake in a truly exhilarating battle.

"Kill!"

The next moment, Wang Jiuzhi bellowed and charged out first, and his target was the only grandmaster of the Innate Realm from the Breaking Wave Clan, the previous clan leader. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

"Youngster, you dare to challenge me just after breaking through to the Innate Realm?" The former head of the Breaking Wave Clan gave a disdainful chuckle, fearlessly confronting the attack.

Boom!

Suddenly, the battle among the grandmasters of the Innate Realm commenced, and they simultaneously flew off into the distance.

Because at the Innate Realm, every move they made carried immense power, and a casual strike from them could alter the terrain. A grand battle with twelve Innates would indiscriminately destroy everything here, dooming everyone beneath the Innate Realm to death.

"Kill!"

As the grandmasters began their clash, the barbarians led by the Marquis of Pingxi also charged, surging towards Yongxue City.

Compared to the barbarians, Da Xia didn't have a leader of the same caliber as the Marquis of Pingxi, who was acknowledged as second to none in commanding troops.

In just a short time, the defenses at the gates of Yongxue City were breached, as countless barbarian forces flooded in, engaging Da Xia's army in brutal close-quarters combat.

At the same time, the battle between the grandmasters also began without delay.

Elsewhere, Gu Chen, seeing the Marquis of Pingxi commanding the barbarian army, felt his eyes redden with rage as he remembered the Duke of the Liang State and Wang Yan, wishing he could rush forward and tear the Marquis to pieces right then and there.

However, reason held Gu Chen back, knowing all too well that he was no match for the Marquis of Pingxi at present.

Having merged with a demon spirit, the Marquis of Pingxi had broken through to the Hundred Orifices Stage. Even though Gu Chen was now equivalent to a martial arts master who had undergone six blood replacements, he still stood no chance against the Marquis of Pingxi, who was at the Hundred Orifices Stage.

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, as if sensing Gu Chen's gaze, the Marquis of Pingxi turned his head and locked eyes with him.

At the sight of Gu Chen, the Marquis's face immediately brightened with joy, his lips curving into a slight smile, obviously in a very good mood.

The thought of refining Gu Chen into a medicinal pill was an idea he had never abandoned.

Behind the Marquis, Xu Wei also noticed Gu Chen and smiled grimly, saying to the Marquis, "Lord Marquis, I will capture him for you."

The Marquis of Pingxi nodded slightly upon hearing this, sharing a similar compatibility with demon spirits as Xu Wei, and having successfully merged with one, his strength had soared, reaching the Transcendent Realm.

After Xu Wei departed, Lin Zhan whispered, "Lord Marquis, I shall assist Xu Wei as back-up."

"Good."

With Lin Zhan joining in, the Marquis of Pingxi naturally felt more at ease, for Lin Zhan was once second only to him in the Xuan Tie Army, being a martial arts master who had undergone six blood replacements.
