Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 499 - 443: The Battle Begins

The entire army’s mobilization was immense, and the spectacular sight of thousands of horses galloping was truly awe-inspiring.

The sound of the charge from the hundreds of thousands of Guardian Beasts resonated like furious thunder.

At this moment, within the fortresses of the Blood God Sect, the followers felt as if an earthquake was happening.

They woke up in shock and flew outside the castle, only to be met with the relentless iron hooves of the Qilin Army.

The first wave of disciples who rushed out was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The remaining disciples, seeing this, dared not rush out and could only cower within the castle.

The Qilin Army did not charge directly inside but surrounded the entire castle.

Yuan Zhihang smiled with joy at this sight. Now it was like capturing a turtle in a jar; the Blood God Sect had no chance of regaining strength.

Yuan Zhihang came in front of the castle and shouted loudly, "You are already surrounded. If you surrender now, we will spare your lives. I know many of you were coerced into this; we are willing to give you a chance to reform."

Yuan Zhihang, truly worthy of being a General of the Qilin Army, applied military strategy with great flexibility. If the Qilin Army were to charge directly, the casualties would be significant.

By adopting a tactic of persuasion to surrender, it could psychologically dismantle the enemy’s resistance and greatly reduce their own casualties.

At this moment, chaos reigned within the Blood God Sect.

"It’s over; we’ve been besieged, we are doomed."

"I haven’t done anything bad. I was abducted at the time. If I go out and surrender now, the Alliance certainly won’t finish us off."

"Me too, let’s go together."

"Don’t even think about it; this is all the rhetoric of the Alliance. Even if you go out and surrender, you’ll die. Might as well take a gamble; perhaps there’s still a chance to escape."

With panic in the air and varying opinions, there was no consensus.

At this moment, a chilling voice came from afar.

"I want to see who dares to surrender."

The people turned towards the voice, their expressions changing in unison as they hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Lord Sect Leader."

The newcomer was none other than Zhang Jue Ming, the Sect Leader of the Blood God Sect.

His expression was extremely unpleasant; he had just received urgent messages from eight branch halls simultaneously, indicating that the Alliance intended to uproot their Blood God Sect completely.

However, he dared not disclose this information, or it would surely incite internal conflict, leading to the Main Sect’s demise without assault.

He had just gone to inspect the Teleportation Arrays, finding them all destroyed, clearly indicating an insider betrayal.

At this point, he could only use all his trump cards to fight for a glimmer of hope for himself.

The lives of these followers were not even within his consideration; as long as he lived, the Blood God Sect would continue to exist.

Followers could be replenished at any time; after all, human nature is ugly. As long as they desire power, they will become the next disciples of the Blood God Sect.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jue Ming said in a stern voice, "Everyone, do not be afraid. Our Blood Beasts possess immense strength. In the same Realm, we are unbeatable, and I have already contacted the eight branch halls. Our reinforcements will arrive soon; who will destroy who is still uncertain."

"Lord Sect Leader is right. As long as we unite, the Alliance can’t do anything to us. Our Blood God Sect has been established for so many years; if the Alliance could destroy us, they wouldn’t have let us roam free till now."

With voices of agreement ringing out, the battle intent of the followers was also stirred up.

They raised their arms and shouted, "Long live the Blood God Sect."

Zhang Jue Ming, seeing this, couldn’t help but show a look of satisfaction. He raised his right arm and shouted loudly, "Brothers, follow me out. We cannot tarnish the reputation of the Blood God Sect." With that, he summoned a Blood Beast and rushed out of the fortress.

The followers, seeing this, also rushed out one after another.

Deep underground in the Blood God Sect, ten gigantic blood-colored beasts lay in slumber here.

Above the Blood Beasts, there was a secret chamber with two blood-colored coffins inside.

At this moment, drops of fresh blood dripped onto the coffins, seeping through the gaps into the coffins inside.

Yuan Zhihang frowned as he looked at the Blood God Castle. Several minutes had passed since he called out, yet not a single disciple had surrendered; clearly, his strategy had failed.

Just as he prepared to persuade surrender again, the castle gates suddenly opened.

Zhang Jue Ming, leading tens of thousands of Blood God Sect disciples, came out of the castle.

Yuan Zhihang, seeing this, said in a deep voice, "Zhang Jue Ming, surrender, and I can offer you dignity."

However, Zhang Jue Ming suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, such arrogance. Who are you to speak to me?" With that, he unleashed all his aura.

Yuan Zhihang, sensing the aura, his pupils constricted suddenly, murmuring, "Emperor Level, how can this be possible."

The Alliance was quite aware of Zhang Jue Ming. His Cultivation Talent was not high, only Cyan Rank Middle Grade. With such Cultivation Talent, breaking through to Emperor Level was incredibly difficult.

Yet now, with such Cultivation Talent, he has broken through to Emperor Level. How could he not be astonished?

"Zhang Jue Ming, do I qualify? Long Batian lightly leaped, spanning a hundred meters to stand before Zhang Jue Ming, unmistakably displaying Emperor Level aura.

Zhang Jue Ming’s expression changed instantly. He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "I didn’t expect you also broke through to Emperor Level."

"Hmph, if even a ghost like you can break through, why should my breakthrough be surprising?"

"Even if you reach Emperor Level, what can you do? Among equals, Blood Beasts are invincible."

"Invincible among equals? How utterly ludicrous. In this situation, what good is your invincibility?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue Ming’s expression remained calm. He glanced coldly at the Qilin Army and said, "Today, all of you will become offerings to the Blood God."

"Such arrogance. All eight branch halls have been purged; do you really have reinforcements?" Long Batian said sternly.

Upon hearing this, the Blood God Sect disciples were visibly alarmed. Their eyes collectively turned to Zhang Jue Ming, clearly seeking confirmation of the truth.

Zhang Jue Ming’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, maintaining forced composure as he sneered, "What a trivial tactic; do you take us for fools?"

Long Batian, realizing the other was deliberately concealing the information, smiled as he said, "Zhang Jue Ming, such a vicious heart. You plan to let everyone fight for your slim hope of survival, though I happen to have battle images from the other eight branch halls..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue Ming’s face changed completely. If the images were revealed, those followers behind him would surely choose to surrender.

"Shut up, don’t disrupt our morale. Today, if you dare to come, then stay here. Brothers, charge with me." With that, he summoned his Blood Beast.

Behind him, his followers, unable to discern truth from falsehood between the two, could only summon their Guardian Beasts.

After all, Zhang Jue Ming’s ruthlessness had long been ingrained in their hearts; the followers dare not disobey.

Long Batian, observing this, said coldly, "Since you seek death, I’ll grant you that. Everyone, follow my command, attack!"
