Chapter 499 - 271: The Nine Nether Demon Sect retreats, Heading towards the Secret Realm
In the dim starry sky.
A vortex swirls, and traces of past annihilation can still be sensed.
Clad in a dark golden battle robe, Xiahou Shu flickers like an illusion.
His deep and dark golden eyes sweep across a void, glancing over the Hundred Sect’s powerhouses hidden in it, causing them to shiver slightly.
Even the Celestial Human of the Green Cloud Sect, Yun Xuan Venerable, feels a chill up his spine.
“The Army Commander of the Demon Suppression Army, Xiahou Shu, is terrifying!”
Also a Celestial Human, he feels he is void of any fighting spirit in front of Xiahou Shu.
Observing how Xiahou Shu obliterated Gai Jiuyou with thunderous momentum gives him a stark realization.
“Such a terrifying man, even if the Sect Master were to personally take action, might not be his match.”
Thinking of this, he breaks into a cold sweat.
Then, with a word of excuse to the people around him, his figure swiftly vanishes into the void.
With the departure of Yun Xuan Venerable, the rest of the Hundred Sects’ powerhouses also flee. The shock caused by Xiahou Shu is too terrifying, they dare not linger.
Xiahou Shu doesn’t react to their departure, or rather, doesn’t care.
His gaze, passes the boundless battlefield, settling on a distant void.
There, another gaze comes, belonging to the domineering middle-aged man known as the Clan Master.
“Mo Yuan Clan Master, instead of staying in your territory, you’re venturing into the Human Race’s territory. Are the Sea Beast Tribe coveting our coastal territory?”
Feeling Xiahou Shu’s formidable aura, Mo Yuan’s demeanor becomes slightly stern.
The strength of this Demon Suppression Army Commander is stronger than he anticipated.
More intimidating is his attitude.
“The coastal area has always been the territory of sea beasts. There’s no talk of coveting.” Frowning slightly, Mo Yuan responds indifferently.
Humph, the coastal area has always been the territory of the Human Race, it was before and still is, and it will always remain so.” Xiahou Shu responds instantly.
“It’s pointless to say more, one day, the living beings in this region will be my vast Sea Clan, not your Human Race.”
As he finishes, waves appear around Mo Yuan in the void, and in the blink of an eye, his figure, along with bulky sea beasts, vanishes in the void.
Besides Gongsun Zhonghong and Hua Yunhui, these two Celestial Humans, no one else can perceive this brief scene.
“Finally, he’s gone.” Hua Yunhui can’t help but click his tongue in secret.
Having been stationed so long on this battlefield, he naturally discovered Mo Yuan’s presence early on.
While fighting Gai Jiuyou, he never dared to go full force, let alone use Cave Heavens, for fear that Mo Yuan would suddenly attack.
“If he hadn’t left, I’d be worried about getting away unscathed.”
At this time, the voice of Gongsun Zhonghong resounds.
While he’s wary of Mo Yuan, he’s not terrified of him.
On land, no matter how capable Mo Yuan is, he can only exert six or seven tenths of his strength, so there’s nothing to fear.
“Even if Mo Yuan is one of the top bosses of the Sea Beast Tribe, not to mention his countless Divine Abilities, even his terrifying physical strength is enough to make him nearly invincible. If he gets involved, it won’t be easy for us to win this fight.”
Gongsun Zhonghong wears a light smile, he doesn’t agree with what Hua Yunhui said, but he doesn’t voice any disagreement.
They and other Celestial Humans sensed Mo Yuan’s presence but failed to detect Xiahou Shu’s arrival.
It just goes to show that Xiahou Shu, the Army Commander of the Demon Suppression Army, outranks Mo Yuan in both realm and strength.
This alone is enough to make Mo Yuan, a dominant figure of the Sea Beast Tribe, fear him.
With the defeat and retreat of the Red Moon Demon Sect and the fall of Gai Jiuyou and Li Jiuyin, the Demon Suppression Army achieved a victory like never before.
Even so, the Demon Suppression Army, adhering to the principle of chasing a beaten enemy vigorously, goes after the fleeing enemy.
Scarlet Moon Demon Domain, North Field Battlefront.
This is one of the battlefields where the Demon Suppression Army is fighting tooth and nail with the Red Moon Demon Sect and Nine Nether Demon Sect.
At this moment, the battling powerhouses witness a dazzling golden light in the void growing to its fullest, then bursting into a blinding radiance, like a meteor crossing the sky quickly and then quickly dimming.
This spectacle makes many powerhouses above the Rune Seed Realm hesitate, they all look towards the direction where this vibration is coming from.
In that direction, there’s only endless void, and the residual traces left by the radiant brilliance, nothing else.
But in their hearts, a recognition rises right away – a powerhouse has fallen.
And for the fallen to cause such strong vibrations and transmit to such a far distance can only mean that the fallen is a Celestial Human at the pinnacle of martial arts.
“I wonder whose Celestial Human has fallen.” Demon Extermination General of Heavenly Level from the Demon Suppression Army, Fang Cheng mumbles.
In his North Field Battlefront, numerous Rune Seed Realm powerhouses have fallen after months of fierce battles, numbering in the hundreds, and the number of fallen Golden Core powerhouses is in the double-digits.
However, among Celestial Humans, there are still four standing unchanged.
“I hope the Celestial Human that perished wasn’t our Vice Commander.”
Fang Cheng mutters quietly to himself, his gaze falling on the strong enemy.
Over the past few months, he has engaged with no less than five Golden Core Realm powerhouses, but none were killed in the end.
Most times, after wounding the enemy, they quickly disperse or saved by other powerhouses of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.
