Chapter 500 The Final Battle

Chapter 500 The Final Battle

In a cave on Blackstone Mountain, Xu Beiwang was standing behind Master Wei and watching the image broadcasted by the magic formation in front of him.

It showed what was happening at the edge of Blackstone Mountain. Zhao Batian was commanding his forces in midair and thousands of demons were dashing toward this place.

Xu Beiwang said with disbelief, “I can’t believe they found us!”

Master Wei was much calmer than Xu Beiwang. “I sensed something wrong two days ago. The cultivators of Zhenjiang City had been unstoppable in killing the beasts we sent, but we suddenly lost track of them. I was wondering if they were resting or on to something else. It turns out they truly found this place. It looks like there are also many powerful beings among them. We should never look down on them.”

Xu Beiwang said with admiration, “Fortunately, you ordered the beasts to go back and set traps in this mountain. Otherwise we will all be dead!”

Xu Beiwang thought Master Wei were being too cautious when he first heard Master Wei’s plans. He even thought it was unnecessary because he believed that the demons would never find this hidden place.

But now he was glad that Master Wei was a stubborn man.

But Master Wei was not as optimistic as Xu Beiwang. “Time is ticking and the beasts that can come over are not many, which means we don’t have the advantage of numbers. I did not expect that they had three Taiyi Real Immortal Realm cultivators who have not fought with the beasts before. But we still have a chance of defeating them, unless they have something else that can help them to win the fight.”

“You worry too much. They have tried their best to find this place. We have the Demon-subduing Invocation. They can never defeat us!” Xu Weiwang said, as his morale mounted.

Now the defence of Blackstone mountain was dependent on 200 cultivators from the Immortal Court, in addition to the thousands of beasts.

Besides Master Wei and Xu Beiwang, there was another cultivator of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. With the help of the Demon-subduing Invocation, they did seem to be the winning side.

“Alright, you should prepare yourself for the war!”

Master Wei waved his hands, “But our identities will be exposed completely. We have slipped off the course we prepared. We can only play it by ear. I hope that the unusual situation here will not influence the beast tides in other regions.”

...

The cultivators from the demon clan dashed out of the woods with confidence and encircled the mountain.

They thought they had the upper hand since they believed that the beasts did not know they were coming. But they had not expected that it was the exact opposite.

Suddenly, weird sounds burst from the woods. Then the earth seemed to shake, while the roars of beasts began booming through the sky, which scared away the birds. Then countless beasts rushed out from the woods, growling and snapping at them.

“Beasts! There are so many beasts!”

“Damn it. We are being ambushed!”

“We fell into their traps?”

The cultivators of the demon clan were shocked, but they still parried the beasts’ attacks with their magic weapons. But they were thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of these fierce beasts.

Fortunately, it was not the first time they fought with the beasts. They were not afraid to fight, although they did seem unprepared for this.

The beasts dashed into the midst of the cultivators under the onslaught of the attack. Though many of them were killed halfway in their tracks, their advantage of fighting in a melee became obvious.

Soon many cultivators were knocked down or sent hurtling. Some flying beasts even grabbed Qi-refining cultivators with their claws and threw them into the midair.

The battlefield was in chaos as soon as the fight began. Roars, screams and the blast of magic techniques could be heard everywhere, The cacophony of fighting would only become even louder before the end.

The Great cultivators floating in the air also had to face their enemies, who could also fly in the air. They slashed at the cultivators from the demon clan, their movements as fast as lightning.

But the flying cultivators had more space to dodge the beasts’ strikes, especially for the cultivators from Immortal Realm. Few of them failed to block the strikes. They parried and cast spells at the beasts who were after them. The fighting between was really fierce.

Their moves looked rather graceful. But if they were hit by the beasts, their ending would not be much better than that of Qi-refining cultivators.

Wielding a long spear, Zhao Batian rushed into the midst of the beasts with a group of Great Cultivators from the City Lord’s Mansion of Zhenjiang City following him. They looked quite unstoppable. Some beasts who were not that powerful fell to the ground and laid there, bleeding.

The three cultivators of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm roamed back and forth amid the beasts around Zhao Batian. No one saw exactly what they did, but streams of blood erupted constantly from the wounded beasts behind them, as they fell like dumplings.

Unlike the other groups, the cultivators from Liuxi Town were fighting in a complete formation. After all, they were under Li Ye’s command. The sudden attack did not cause too many casualties.

Since there were also powerful beasts in the sky, most of the Great Cultivators met their enemies in the sky. But Li Ye was still instructing the Qi-refining cultivators on the ground to hold their formation, together with the Duchess, proprietress, Hongxiu and White Wolf.

The first wave of beasts was stopped by Li Ye and the other cultivators. Numerous bodies fell in front of these Qi-refining cultivators, which slowed down the next wave of beasts. When the next wave arrived, the cultivators from Liu Xi town had adjusted their formation to defend and counterstrike.

As long as they could hold the formation well, they could deliver very powerful strikes together. Normal beasts would find it hard to approach and would think of running when they saw bodies piling up in front of them.

If they did not retreat, there might be several beasts who could make their way to the cultivators. But most of them would die on the way. And those who tried to approach would soon be killed by the cultivators since they were outnumbered.

The battle was fierce and bloody at the beginning. But the cultivators from Liuxi Town had fewer casualties. But the other groups had to retreat after so many bodies were piled up on the ground.

This was the perfect opportunity to hunt.

Zhao Batian was infuriated when he saw it from the sky. “Anyone who dares to retreat shall be executed!” His voice boomed in the cultivators’ ears like a thunderclap.

Then Zhao Batian told the cultivators from Zhenjiang City, “Go and help them!“

Though there were a tremendous number of fierce beasts, the number of powerful beasts was not as many as that of the cultivators. Zhao Batian was leading a legion of Great Cultivators.

As long as they were in the midair, the beasts could not win the war in the sky. In the end, they would also lose the battle on the ground.

In the battle against the beasts before, it was this advantage that enabled Zhao Batian to win every single battle.

The cultivators from Zhenjiang City did what they were told to. They had done things like this many times before, so they did not complain. As for Zhao Batian’s safety, he would absolutely be safe under the protection of the three cultivators of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm.

After the Great Cultivators spread across the battlefield, the rogue cultivators soon held their ground and began slaughtering the beasts.

All the Qi-refining cultivators felt relieved when they saw their advantage in the sky. They began fighting back with mounting momentum. Everyone was trying their best. Hence, they felt the pressure brought by the beasts was reducing.

The situation looked good for the cultivators. Though some of them died since they were ambushed by the beasts before, they still overpowered the beasts when they got the help from the cultivators of Zhenjiang City.

Zhao Batian said with excitement and complacency when he saw the situation, “I, Zhao Batian of Zhanjiang City, am the best beast hunter. I am meant to be renowned and respected by all demons.”

Li Ye cast this man a glance when he heard his voice. He could not help sneering when he saw the joy on this man’s face. He thought it was too early to be so happy.

Of course, Li Ye would never say it to Zhao Batian’s face.

The cultivators of Liuxi Town killed many beasts without the help from the cultivators of Zhenjiang city. Thought the beasts were still attacking, they seemed not to be able to cause much more damage.

White Wolf even did not have to show his power of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm.

Hence, the cultivators of Liu Xi town seemed at ease. Some even made jokes while casting their spells.

“Small wonder they came from Zhenjiang City. They do have some skills. But that seems to be all!”

On the hillside, the rocks were suddenly shattered by the cultivators from the Immortal court, who were inside. Then they flew out of the cave one by one. The first one was Master Wei. He looked calm with his hands crossed behind his back. Xu Beiwang looked gloomy. He believed he finally had the chance to seek revenge.

Though Zhao Batian was prepared, he was still surprised by the sudden appearance of over two hundred Immortals. He looked stunned and his jaw almost dropped to the ground. “Why are there so many Immortals?”

He would not be surprised if they were Great Cultivators of Spiritual Master Realm or a higher level. He was even confident that he could beat them. However, all of them were of the Immortal Realm. They were too powerful for him to handle!

“You are Zhao Batian? Let me tell you something. You are about to die!” Xu Beiwang had an evil smile and slashed at Zhao Batian with a group of Immortals following behind him!
