Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1879 - 1878: Han Xueyi’s Regret
"Whizz, whizz, whizz..."
Numerous figures, like locusts, also resembling countless black arrows, covered the sky, descending from the starry sky onto Bloodlust Star.
The Hidden Blood Sect fully retreated, with no intention of truly engaging in battle at the outskirts of Bloodlust Star. Their battle line significantly contracted, eventually condensing at the sect residence.
There, there was the Sect Protection Array of the Hidden Blood Sect, many powerful figures of the Hidden Blood Sect, and even the teleportation formation leading to the south gate!
However, since the war has not truly erupted yet, the Hidden Blood Sect naturally will not allow any disciple to escape.
...
The Sect Master of the Hidden Blood Sect, Han Xueyi, with a middle-aged appearance, had a burly and robust physique, adorned in a pitch-black armor upon which a dense gray aura flowed.
Clearly, this was armor at the high-grade ghost artifact level.
Imperial artifacts are not necessarily unavailable. As the Sect Master of the Hidden Blood Sect, with the sect’s vast financial resources, purchasing imperial artifacts is certainly affordable.
But imperial artifacts, much like fourth grade pills, require at least fourth-grade artifact refiners to craft them.
Due to the rarity of materials and the scarcity of fourth-grade artifact refiners, the quantity of imperial artifacts is extremely limited.
Han Xueyi encountered imperial artifacts several times, but ultimately did not purchase any due to finding them unsuitable.
Those imperial artifacts were either swords or blades, whereas the weapon Han Xueyi used was a trident, very uncommon.
The main reason, however, lay in Han Xueyi’s arrogance, as he believed no one could pose a threat to him. He avoided provoking strong individuals and had no need for them against weaker ones, so he delayed until now.
But at this moment, his heart was filled with regret.
This regret came in two forms.
The first was not purchasing an imperial artifact. Even if it wasn’t a trident, at least a sword or blade would still be an imperial artifact that was usable for him as a third-grade divine sea realm cultivator.
The second regret...
was when the Silver Moon Sect aided the Green Pine Pavilion and Mutang Sect, during which his Hidden Blood Sect did not appear!
It wasn’t a matter of unwillingness to appear, but everyone thought that just eliminating the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion alone, even with the addition of the newly-risen Phoenix Sect, the Four Great Sects of Silver Moon Sect, Mutang Sect, Green Pine Pavilion, and Demon God Sect were already sufficient.
Who would have thought that Demon God Sect would betray them at the last moment, and the power of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion and Phoenix Sect would be so strong!
The Silver Moon Sect had already been annihilated, and now only Han Xueyi’s Hidden Blood Sect remained as the lone commander!
In truth, in Han Xueyi’s heart, the most regretful matter lay in the fact that he should have never, ever hired those loose cultivators to harass the resource areas of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion and Phoenix Sect!
The latter’s speed was astonishingly fast, launching attacks with the force of thunder, almost without giving the Hidden Blood Sect any time to react.
Currently, the Hidden Blood Sect has no external support. The only option left for them... is to hold out!
"Sect Master!!!"
A sharp voice came from afar—
"The Phoenix Sect has arrived, the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion has arrived, and even that damned Demon God Sect has come!!!"
Han Xueyi’s heart tightened; he took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "All disciples of the Hidden Blood Sect, heed the sect’s command!"
"Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, Phoenix Sect, and Demon God Sect have launched an attack. In this battle, one side must triumph, and one side will be annihilated. This sect does not wish for the annihilated side to be the Hidden Blood Sect!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Therefore, unleash your greatest battle power and slay all incoming enemies!"
"Once we achieve victory, I will personally confer awards upon you, and all stipends and rewards will be issued at ten times the usual rate!"
Upon hearing these words, many disciples of the Hidden Blood Sect were instantly shaken, their faces showing intense solemnity.
"With the Sect Protection Array, they may not manage to break through!"
Beside Han Xueyi, an elder spoke.
He, too, exuded the aura of the divine sea realm, albeit at the second grade.
"This Sect Protection Array was passed down by numerous ancestors of the Hidden Blood Sect since ancient times, remaining ever since. Unless cultivators in the fusion realm act, with merely their current battle power, even if they attacked for a year, it wouldn’t be enough—"
"Boom!"
Before his voice could fall, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded from above.
Countless gazes raised upward at this moment.
Above them, the massive light barrier of the Sect Protection Array was astonishingly being struck by a huge, indescribably terrifying foot.
Upon its descent, the light barrier of the Sect Protection Array shook violently, and then—
"Crack!"
Massive cracks appeared from where the foot landed, with cracks reminiscent of spider webs spreading rapidly, in the stunned gazes of countless disciples from the Hidden Blood Sect.
More and more, more and more...
In the end, a loud bang was heard, causing the Sect Protection Array to directly collapse!!!
"What?!"
"How is this possible!!!"
"Wasn’t it said only those in fusion realms could break this Sect Protection Array?"
"It’s all over, truly over..."
"With the Star Formation shattered and the Sect Protection Array crushed underfoot, could today truly be the day we meet our end at Yellow Spring?"
The discussions spread around.
The second-grade divine sea realm elder felt his face burning; he had just claimed that Heavenly Mountain Pavilion and Phoenix Sect couldn’t break the Sect Protection Array, yet they managed to crush it with a single foot.
"Buzz~"
And beside after the Sect Protection Array was crushed, the gigantic figure finally couldn’t hold on any longer, gradually dissipating amidst a buzzing sound.
Vast amounts of black mist astonishingly condensed back into droplets of black blood, as many as four million drops, entering each warrior of the Battle Clan at their brow.
As the blood returned, the pallor on Xuanyuan Qiong’s face instantly faded and was instead somewhat rosy.
"Battling Sons of the Clan, slay for me!!!"
Xuanyuan Qiong floated in the air, his aura surged, waving his large hand while shouting, "The Battle Clan is immortal, the Battle Clan is indestructible, when the Battle Clan is enraged, heaven and earth tremble!"
"Kill!!!"
Amidst a chorus of roars, numerous figures sprang forth.
Without a word, they directly launched attacks, leaving no time for idle talk with the Hidden Blood Sect!
"Weaken!"
"Spirit Sealing!"
"Aerial Seal Technique!"
"Destruction!"
The Demon God Sect approached, and its 1.2 million disciples were once again divided into four groups, just like when battling the Silver Moon Sect, each performing their respective large-scale magic.
Su Han and Ren Qinghuan flew through the void.
Glancing at Han Xueyi, Su Han pointed at the elder beside him and said to Ren Qinghuan, "Now that you, too, have reached the second grade divine sea realm, how about we join forces? I’ll take on Han Xueyi while you deal with this elder?"
"Alright."
Ren Qinghuan held his longsword horizontally, revealing a smile, "Thanks to your Flood Dragon Spirit Liquid, I’ve reached the second grade divine sea realm and still lack suitable opponents for practice. This old codger shall be mine."
"Stay safe." Su Han spoke.
"What’s there to worry about?"
Ren Qinghuan rushed forward, his gentle voice carried by the wind.
"After all, I have you protecting me..."
