Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 469 - 454: Hundred Battles

The Innate Sea Sirens constantly chasing Zhou Leng but failing to catch him cursed loudly, their mouths full of foam.

The Sea Sirens in the water swarmed ashore, forcing back the Human Race martial artists.

Two Innates died, one being the direct grandson of a demigod family and the other the descendant of a demon noble, skilled in commanding battles, far more important than ordinary Demons.

That day, the defense of the Sea Sirens on the shore was tight, but there was little change in the underwater camp.

At night, the underwater camp of the Sea Sirens.

A Fish Demon sneaked into the camp, in the Fish Demon habitat, slaying them silently one by one like cutting grass.

Killing one, it would store them in a spatial wooden box.

Who knows how many it killed, the faint scent of blood alerted them, throwing the camp into chaos.

Zhou Leng took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The Sea Sirens were in disarray for a while, then found nothing.

The seeds of panic had been sown.

Afterwards, a large number of Sea Sirens began patrolling underwater.

The underwater visibility is far lower than on land.

Before long, one patrol team of Sea Sirens after another disappeared without a trace.

The higher-ups of the Sea Sirens went completely mad, mobilizing all the Sea Sirens, organizing them into battalions of a thousand to search with all their might.

They were busy for a whole night, but found nothing.

Zhou Leng had already escaped in advance.

Having reached a place far from the battlefield, Zhou Leng threw a heap of Sea Siren corpses in front of his hidden martial artist teammates.

"You guys dismantle the important materials."

The eight Innate Martial Artists looked at the pile of Sea Siren corpses, wanting to say they didn’t come here just to enter a slaughterhouse, but realizing that it seemed they had no other use than dismantling the Sea Sirens.

"What exactly happened? Yesterday, we used drones to see you on the battlefield like you were walking a dog, then what?" Zhi Liao asked.

Zhou Leng gestured at the Sea Siren corpses with a nod of his chin and said, "This is what happened next. There are also some Innate Fish Demon corpses here, this place is not suitable for cooking, it’s easy to be discovered, let’s have some sashimi."

Zhou Leng said as he pulled out a twelve-meter-long big green fish and slammed it onto the grass, nearly as tall as a person.

"Hmm?" The team members looked at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng cut open his mask, exposed his mouth, pulled out a spirit weapon, jumped onto the fish body, and peeled back a layer along with the scales and skin, revealing the glistening transparent fish meat inside, with the spine area a dark red, blood smeared.

The belly was white with faint pink, glistening and translucent.

There was not a hint of fishiness, a faint fragrance of meat wafted over.

"Just directly slice it with a knife."

Standing before the belly of the fish, Zhou Leng swiftly sliced off a thin, crystal-pink-white piece of sashimi and put it in his mouth.

It was crisp and springy, crunching with each bite, and after entering the mouth, a light creamy aroma dispersed.

Falling into the stomach, it transformed into a gentle warmth surging through the body.

Zhou Leng watched as everyone stood without moving and said, "Innate Fish Demons don’t have parasites, and even if they do, our Innate bodies aren’t afraid. It tastes good and is highly nutritious."

Zhi Liao had never eaten this way before either, so he cut open his mask, stepped forward, sliced off some fish meat, put it in his mouth, chewed for a moment, and swallowed it. Before long, his eyes lit up.

"Good stuff, truly delicious and full of energy, no less than magical beast meat of the same level."

The other team members, tempted by what they saw, all stepped forward, knives in hand, devouring it heartily.

Zhou Leng had fought underwater for a whole night, greatly exhausting his stamina and Qi Blood, and devoured a quarter of it like a whirlwind.

The others together ate another quarter.

With half left, Zhou Leng put it away.

"I’m going to rest for a bit, after waking up, we’ll relocate to avoid being discovered by the enemy."

The others stood guard while Zhou Leng pitched a simple tent and crawled into his sleeping bag to rest.

Upon waking, everyone dealt with the traces and moved into the next thicket.

Zhou Leng disguised himself again as a Sea Siren or Fish Demon, on the battlefield chasing and killing Sea Sirens, then leading Innate Sea Sirens on a chase.

Every now and then, he’d sneak into the Sea Siren camp, hunt Sea Sirens, slay a few and flee, never lingering in battle.

For two consecutive days, the Sea Sirens were in complete chaos, and their attacks on humans were riddled with mistakes.

In those few days, humans were all discussing this person, but no one knew who he was, so they named him the "Sea Siren Slayer."

Under Zhou Leng’s pressure, the defenses of the Sea Siren camp finally tightened.

Now when Sea Sirens met, they had to speak in the Sea Siren language; if they couldn’t, they were killed on the spot.

Some Sea Sirens with imperfect Sea Siren language had already met tragic ends.

Another day passed, an Innate Demon, the Rusted Iron General, walked into the camp and in pure Demon Language claimed he was there to help the Sea Sirens deal with that despicable pretender.

The Sea Sirens were overjoyed and led the Innate Demon into the command center.

Three minutes later, the light of the Melt Wall Blade flickered, and the heads of three Innate Sea Siren commanders fell to the ground.

In the hissing sound of gushing blood, amidst the bewilderment turning to rage in the Sea Sirens’ eyes, Zhou Leng leaped out of the command center, swinging a legendary great blade, charging at the Sea Sirens.

The same scene replayed.

All sides, Demons, and humans saw it.

Today it changed, it wasn’t Sea Sirens killing Sea Sirens, but a Demon killing Sea Sirens.

As the killing continued, the illusion technique dissipated.

"Still the Sea Siren Slayer!"

The Sea Siren stronghold fell into complete disarray, and the Humans once again coordinated a counterattack.

The Shanhe Brothers charged at the forefront.

Mountain River Oak whispered, "Bro, why do I feel this person looks just like Zhou Leng?"

"I feel it too, that gaze, those movements, it’s too similar. But, Zhou Leng doesn’t use a blade, where did he get that legendary great blade?"

"Let’s not expose him, we’ll ask him later if it was him."

Zhou Leng killed for a while and then fled again.

This time, the Sea Sirens were prepared and dispatched Innate giant insects known for their speed to chase him.

However, Zhou Leng used the Ancient River Sect’s lightweight skill, the Heavenly Dragon Flash, at full power, merging his body technique and stepping technique into one. His speed was so fast that even the Innate giant insects couldn’t keep up.

In the afternoon, a Flesh and Blood War Chariot brandished a blade in the Sea Sirens’ territory, killing indiscriminately.

In the evening, a Candleholder swung a blade, killing indiscriminately.

The Sea Sirens were nearly at the brink of collapse.

Now, not only could they not trust the Sea Sirens, they couldn’t even trust the Demons.

The Sea Sirens drove away the Demons from the command center, only maintaining remote contact.

The Demons, Beastmen, and giant insects expressed understanding and offered condolences and sympathy.

Early the next morning, the Beastmen camp exploded.

A Demon skilled in blade technique killed all five Innate commanders in the command room, ran out of the camp, jumped into Tai Lake, and vanished without a trace.

In the afternoon, a green-skinned Orc went berserk on the battlefield, killing several Innate individuals before its figure blurred, revealing the silhouette of a famous Sea Siren Slayer.

The Beastmen were also in disarray.

Because this Sea Siren Slayer could really speak the Beastman language, and a few phrases were incredibly fluent.

No Beastman technique could detect him.

The Beastmen camp was in a state of panic and had no choice but to ask a Demon Warlock for help.

After all, Demon Warlocks have spells to break illusions.

On the way to meet the Demon Warlock, a Beastman suddenly attacked, slaughtering the unsuspecting Demon Warlock before turning and fleeing.

Hearing the news, the Demon commander reluctantly stated, "You Beastmen, solve your own problems."

Another day passed, and in the morning, the monstrous army finally received good news. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The Sea Siren Slayer had disguised himself as a giant insect, but because giant insects communicate using unique pheromones, he was discovered.

The Demons breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, an Innate Ant Queen was killed, and even its corpse was swept away. The culprit was the Sea Siren Slayer.

Investigation revealed that this human was covered in the resplendent insect juice of an unknown legendary Ant Queen, which was of extremely high status and deceived the other giant ants.

The Ant Queen was both rare and precious among the Giant Insect Race, and this giant insect army only had one Ant Queen.

The Demons’ upper ranks were furious and convened a joint meeting.

They stood in the open wilderness, each a hundred meters apart, forming a square, with vigilant expressions as they loudly communicated.

The human Demonized Drone captured this scene, and the drone operator nearly died of laughter.

In a dense forest.

Zhou Leng said, "No need to be polite, drink more. This is Ant Queen insect juice, between resplendent insect juice and regular insect juice."

As Zhou Leng spoke, he drank in large swigs.

After drinking just enough to fill a basin, his stomach was bulging, and his whole body was filled with energy.

Zhi Liao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Sea Siren Slayer, Beastman Slayer, Illusion Technique Slayer... were all these people you alone over the past few days?"

"There shouldn’t be anyone else," Zhou Leng said while taking out a giant insect corpse. "You all handle this."

"By the way..." Zhou Leng added, "If you spot a Grandmaster, be sure to let me know."

Zhi Liao said, "Don’t worry, the Grandmaster won’t be involved."

Zhou Leng asked, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"They should be here soon. How many Innate individuals have you...killed?"

"Lost count," Zhou Leng replied.

Madman whispered, "Could it be a hundred? That would make you an Innate Hundred Battle Hero."

Everyone looked at Zhou Leng in unison, even Zhou Leng felt a stir in his heart.

"It’s really possible," Zhou Leng said.

The title of Hundred Battle Hero is a high honor for humanity.

It requires one to single-handedly kill a hundred Innate enemies in a single campaign.

There have only been seventeen Innate Hundred Battle Heroes in history, each a renowned battle hero.

It’s been several years since the Dragon Country produced an Innate Hundred Battle Hero, the last one being Chen Shouhu five years ago, who, with his Great Innate Realm, essentially bullied the weaker.

Zhi Liao said, "Monkey King, I think it’s almost enough. Unless I’m mistaken, the Demons must have set an intricate trap for you. Those Demons surely have ways to stop you."

"Don’t worry, I’ve anticipated this. Let’s observe the situation first."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they didn’t want to watch a Hundred Battle Hero fall before their eyes.

Zhi Nu said, "Thanks to your harassment, the monstrous army has fallen into chaos, not in the mood for battle. In recent days, the Human Race camp’s casualties have significantly decreased, and many people have had ample rest."

Zhi Liao said, "Today we’ll rest and regain our strength. If nothing unexpected happens, reinforcements should arrive tomorrow. However, their numbers are limited, and it may take a fierce battle to break the encirclement."

Zhou Leng nodded, shared reconnaissance information, and then started meditating to rest.

The next day, an army arrived.

Led by the Seventh Division’s Third Brigade, covering a full ten thousand Martial Artists from various factions.

The human merchant caravans, having already been alerted, were fully armed.

Two human armies charged at the monstrous army simultaneously from the southern and northern directions.

The monstrous army was well-prepared, with hidden giant insects and Sea Sirens emerging in force.

Thanks to the intelligence from Zhou Leng, the Human Race army responded calmly.

The battle began; the monstrous army used its absolute numerical superiority to firmly divide the two armies.

Seeing that things weren’t going well, Zhou Leng transformed into a Fish Demon once more, charging into the open battlefield and slaughtering wildly.

Soon after, a Demon Spirit bird flew over and landed on Zhou Leng’s shoulder.

The voice of the Demon Spirit Master echoed, "Sea Siren Slayer, be careful, some monsters are already lying in ambush for you. Based on our observation, they’ve deployed thirty Eye Demons skilled in illusion techniques, originally meant to target the Human Race’s Great Innate."
