Chapter 510: Strong Enemy, Strong Reinforcement
"Lord Man Zun, it seems the weakness of our clan has been discovered!"
On the deck of the warship, Gexiusi, whose gaze had never left the battlefield, spoke in an unhurried tone.
The Man Mo Clan is the race with the most formidable physical bodies among the Outer Realm Evil Clan, bar none; even many God Beast races of the Da Qian World cannot compare to them.
However, there is balance in the world; while possessing powerful physical bodies, the heavens gave them a spirit that is frail compared to their physical strength.
In a head-on collision, an ordinary Man Mo Clan powerhouse can easily take on three or even five opponents, but once they unfortunately run into an opponent who excels at using spiritual power, they can easily suffer heavy damage.
Perhaps it is the luck of Huang and the others, and the misfortune of the Dou Qi Continent. Although Xiao Xuan and the others possess Emperor Realm Souls, their soul strength is not much higher than the average level of their rank, and they themselves are not skilled at fighting with soul power.
As for Xiao Yan, who is also an Alchemist, has mastered high-level soul Dou Techniques, and possesses the most powerful soul power, he fell into seclusion after only one exchange with the invaders.
It goes without saying for the lower-level battlefields; the Dou Qi Continent has only just recovered, and the combat power of Alchemists with powerful soul strength is still worrying, so they have always served as logistics personnel for the allied forces.
As for the few other lucky ones who could gain an advantage in battle by relying on soul power, the impact they could cause was negligible and could not be fed back to the supreme battlefield at all.
Through a twist of fate, the fatal weakness of the Man Mo Clan was hidden until now, only being revealed when the sword Qi with soul attacks from Ye Jianxin achieved success, forcing the Man Mo Clan back to their original form.
"These natives finally discovered it?"
Man Zun was not surprised; after all, the weakness was too obvious. Even though the Man Mo Clan people who knew their own weaknesses had long been on guard, they could only be helpless if their hardware did not meet the standard.
"The scouting during this period is about enough, but it's a pity..."
"The Plane Spirit of this lower plane is hidden too deeply; I actually can't catch it."
Man Zun slowly stood up and said with great regret. After more than a month of scouting, he could be absolutely certain that the Dou Qi Continent had already birthed a Plane Spirit.
Generally speaking, people not from this plane cannot sense the Plane Spirit, which also cuts off the thoughts of external powerhouses peeking at it.
But this group of people definitely does not include him. Capturing the Plane Spirit, fundamentally polluting a plane, easily seizing its control, and then having the army invade—the series of operational procedures was already well-known to Man Zun, and it had never failed.
But this time, he failed. The Plane Spirit of the Dou Qi Continent is much stronger than an ordinary Plane Spirit. Every time it was detected by Man Zun, it would freely shift its hiding place. In the end, Man Zun could not even sense it, which made the former surprised while his heart grew increasingly fervent.
Doesn't this just go to show the extraordinariness of the Dou Qi Continent?
"Forget it. Since I cannot capture it, then I will adopt a more troublesome method: transform this land inch by inch. It will still allow this lower plane to be used by my clan."
"Let's go, this farce should end."
"As you command, Lord Man Zun!"
Gexiusi bowed slightly, revealing a wanton smile. With Man Zun, whose cultivation crushed everyone, personally taking action, there would naturally be no surprises. From now on, his credit for guiding the way would naturally be able to shut the mouths of certain people within the clan.
On the other side, Xiao Xuan and the others finally deduced the truth of how the Outer Realm Evil Clan powerhouse was heavily injured by Ye Jianxin's sword in just a few words.
"Damn it, I actually forgot to use soul power to probe them."
Zhu Kun slapped his head and said with great regret.
Had they known that soul attacks could deal true damage, the three of them would not have had such a difficult time. With their strength and status, if they had prepared, it would not have been difficult to learn one or two Heaven Tier soul Dou Techniques.
When facing a strong enemy, they just subconsciously adopted the methods they were most skilled at to go head-to-head with the enemy. Looking back, they really couldn't help but want to slap their past selves.
"Forget it, it's not too late now."
Xiao Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. He also had no lack of complaints about his past self in his heart; he could only say that rigid thinking kills people.
Coming back to his senses, seeing the four people still curled up in pain on the spot, the feeling of being suppressed in their bodies seemed to have found a channel for release, and the few of them sneered as they walked toward the opposite side.
"You... what are you doing?"
Sensing the arrival of the four, Huang and the others could not even rise to resist even if they wanted to.
Only then did they have the heart to regret. Originally, according to their strength, if they had remained vigilant at all times and paired it with their Protective Magic Tools, even if they had suffered a small loss under that sword Qi, they would not have been without the power to fight back.
It can only be said that a month of smooth sailing had paralyzed them and lowered their vigilance. Now that they had been heavily injured by a single strike, they regretted it too late!
Ignoring the terrified words of Huang and the others, Zhu Kun took the lead, pointing the Dragon-Slaying Sword at Huang and saying:
"The three of you, leave this one to me."
Over the past few days, Huang's performance had been the most jumpy among the four Evil Clan powerhouses. He had even said more than once that he wanted Zhu Kun to be a mount for the Man Mo Clan Leader. To Zhu Kun, this was simply a great insult. The grudge between the two could be said to have been formed quickly and firmly, so at this moment, Zhu Kun's eyes were full of the joy of having a great revenge about to be avenged.
With Zhu Kun speaking up, the others naturally would not object to such a harmless little request.
"Little things, stop. If these pieces of trash die in your hands, it won't be convenient for me to explain to the Clan Leader."
Just as Zhu Kun was about to make a move, cold and hollow words sounded indifferently in everyone's ears. Including Zhu Kun, the four people's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately attacked tacitly, wanting to finish them off.
"Hmph! Unappreciative!"
The movements of Zhu Kun and the others were also in the eyes of the person who had arrived. This kind of behavior of not giving face made the latter snort coldly, and an axe shadow arrived first despite being launched later.
"Boom!"
After a simple collision, the four figures flew backward, forcibly shattering the space before they could stop their backward momentum.
However, the condition of the few was truly not good.
Zhu Kun bore the vast majority of the damage. The Dragon-Slaying Sword he subconsciously held in front of him was forcibly shattered, and a two-inch-long wound on his chest was glowing with ominous black Qi, with golden blood gushing out.
The hand holding the sword of Ye Jianxin trembled uncontrollably. The Qingfeng Sword body, which had smelted countless precious ores and had been tempered by Dou Qi for years, even showed a crack. Xiao Xuan's situation was slightly better, just looking a bit disheveled.
The one in the worst state was Gu Yuan. Already heavily injured and not yet recovered, he was already at the end of his rope after experiencing a great battle today. Now that he had been ambushed, he was even more unbearable. His left palm was almost severed at the root, dripping with blood. Even if he could grow it back in the end, it would be difficult to reach his peak combat power without a period of adjustment and adaptation.
"That existence has come out?"
The sudden encounter woke them from their temporary joy. They had to face this life-and-death problem—a more powerful enemy had appeared.
"You all..."
"Not bad!"
Sweeping his indifferent eyes around, Man Zun finally made an evaluation.
Being able to confront Huang and the other four for a month under the disadvantage of all aspects, even if there was a reason for the Outer Realm Evil Clan to intentionally go easy, it was still commendable.
"I'll give you one last chance!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Answering Man Zun was the Qingfeng Sword that Ye Jianxin inserted into the void,
"Sword Realm: Dustless Land!"
Ye Jianxin was seen gripping the sword hilt with both hands and plunging it into the void; in an instant, with the sword as the center, a tangible vortex of sword intent formed, shrouding an area of several hundred miles, the domain filled with invisible sword Qi, seeking to shred everything within the space.
"To think such a sword Dao genius could appear in such a backwater place!"
The moment the Sword Realm unfolded, the eyes of the Barbarian Venerable lit up; while pleasantly surprised, he could not help but feel regret that such a genius could not be used by them.
"Sword Asks the Dust Heart!"
This was the very move that had just heavily wounded the powerhouse of the Outer Realm Evil Clan; he sheathed the sword, having no time to build momentum, then drew it and slashed horizontally!
The sword Qi towered into the sky; facing this strike, Gexiusi, who was positioned behind the Barbarian Venerable, could not help but change his expression, his mind contemplating his own countermeasures.
The Barbarian Venerable smiled,
"Not bad power!"
But that was all it was; he extended his right hand, gripped a giant axe in his palm, and poured Evil Qi into the giant axe, instantly forming a protective barrier; the sword Qi struck the barrier, stirred up ripples, and then vanished without a trace.
"What?"
In the distance, Ye Jianxin's pupils constricted, his mood becoming increasingly grave; he shifted his gaze slightly to warn the few people beside him,
"Be careful, that axe is problematic!"
"You noticed? Not bad!"
Although the distance was great, the Barbarian Venerable heard Ye Jianxin's warning clearly and did not care in the least.
The flaws of the Man Mo Clan were so fatal that how could they not find a way to compensate for them? The simplest and most direct method was to pay for full divine equipment; his Huan Mo Axe was a reward he had exchanged for his years of military exploits from the Clan Leader.
Not to mention the countless precious materials within it, when the Huan Mo Axe was forged, they even specifically smelted the skull of a complete Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Illusion Demon clan into it.
The Illusion Demon clan was the exact opposite of the Man Mo Clan; this clan was weak in physical body but strong in spirit. A weapon forged from the skull of an Illusion Demon Heavenly Demon Emperor possessed powerful spiritual defense. In his hands, spiritual power below the Saint level in the Da Qian World could not even manage to break its defense.
"Out of options?"
The Barbarian Venerable shook his head and sighed, raising the Huan Mo Axe,
"Then let this farce end here!"
"Axe Demon!"
Behind the Barbarian Venerable was his demonic shadow, magnified a hundred times,
The pressure of the demonic shadow exceeded everyone's imagination; Xiao Xuan and the others only then discovered in horror that they were unable to move, and could only smile bitterly while waiting for the end of their lives.
"Slash..."
Before the words had finished,
"Huang Quan Heavenly Wrath!"
At this very moment, the entire Dou Qi Continent seemed to tremble; a tangible ten-thousand-foot giant hung high in the clouds, its mouth opened, and materialized soul sound waves poured down like a waterfall toward the Barbarian Venerable, followed closely by that rainbow-like sea of fire that was about to burn the firmament to ashes.
