Chapter 120: Head-on Clash with the Martial Sect

This... this is tremendous power!

Meng Han and all the Saber-Toothed Army Dutongs were stunned, their eyes wide.

Watching the fire that instantly annihilated hundreds, they were so shocked they muttered to themselves.

With such a wide range, even a Martial Sect expert might not manage it, right?

Even the Saber-Toothed Army and Mu Shan Cheng troops still fighting around them were momentarily dazed.

Even the Saber-Toothed Army that had participated in the siege against the Martial Sect, upon seeing this scene, remained stunned for a long time.

If a Martial Sect expert could raise a hand and possess such terrifying might...

Even if you gave them more courage, they would not dare to besiege a Martial Sect expert!

Because Gu Chen and the others were currently beneath the sea of fire, making them hard to notice.

It appeared that this sea of fire was nearly an indiscriminate attack.

Thus, everyone present wondered whose hand had produced this sea of fire.

After a moment, the sea of fire gradually dissipated.

On the vast battlefield, a clear area with a diameter of a hundred meters appeared!

Gu Chen and the others, who had been crawling, slowly rose to their feet.

Only with difficulty did they recover from the wave of flames that had rolled over their backs just moments before.

Many of them still wore expressions of lingering terror.

It was as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.

Some people's clothing on their backs had already been burned to ash.

That terrifying heat seemed still present before their eyes, lingering for a long time.

Among the crowd, a few Saber-Toothed Army soldiers imitated Gu Chen and the others, lying prone.

At this moment, drawing fresh air again, they were instantly filled with a feeling of having survived a calamity.

However, they suddenly heard the ringing sound of flying swords echoing sharply.

Hiss! Hiss!

Flying swords sliced through the air.

In the blink of an eye, they pierced the foreheads of those few Saber-Toothed Army soldiers.

Gu Han also arrived at Gu Chen's side at that moment, softly inquiring about his injuries.

Gu Chen smiled and waved his hand,

"I'm fine, but your strength exceeds my expectations."

Gu Han grinned,

"Elder brother, you're no different."

The two exchanged a smile, seemingly paying no heed to the surrounding Saber-Toothed Army.

The five Dutongs of the ignored Saber-Toothed Army had faces as grim as iron.

Only Meng Han was shocked to the extreme in his heart.

He could not imagine that the creator of that sea of fire was actually the young man who had just rescued Guan Shan!

But wasn't that young man blocked by the arrow rain there?

How could he suddenly appear here?

Meng Han instinctively looked toward the direction where the soldiers who had earlier besieged Gu Han were stationed.

He discovered that there lay a vast expanse of hundreds of corpses fallen to the ground!

It turned out that, while they were besieging Gu Chen, that young man had already cut a swath through the enemy formation!

"These two brothers' strength must not be underestimated!"

As Meng Han's words fell, a burly Dutong snorted in derision,

"Meng Han, I think you've been scared out of your wits."

"Such a terrifying technique could not possibly be released without cost; there must be some limitation."

"If you're timid, then I won't refuse this great merit!"

The earlier encirclement had already probed Gu Chen's strength.

If Gu Han had not intervened, those soldiers would have been enough to drive Gu Chen to a desperate situation.

He is at least a mid-stage Great Martial Master; capturing these two brothers, though risky, would be worthwhile!

He immediately urged his Saber-Toothed Pig mount to charge at Gu Han and the others.

"Anyone who wants to kill someone from Mu Shan Cheng must first get past me!"

The horrifying spectacle of the sea of fire earlier had already drawn the attention of a large number of soldiers from both sides.

At this moment, seeing the Saber-Toothed Army Dutongs surrounding Gu Han, Mu Shan Cheng Dutongs immediately stepped forward to meet them.

Soon after, more Mu Shan Cheng Dutongs came forward, engaging the Saber-Toothed Army Dutongs in one-on-one combat.

Gu Han, Gu Chen, and the others, for a time, became bystanders instead.

"It seems the predicament of Mu Shan Cheng has been largely resolved."

Gu Han looked at the increasing number of Mu Shan Cheng soldiers around him and felt a relieved sigh in his heart.

This series of battles had almost no pause at all.

Even an iron man would be tired by now.

Gu Han immediately joined forces with Gu Chen, leading the troops in a covering attack.

Their abilities were outstanding; as the spearhead, they tore the Saber-Toothed Army's formation apart!

Gu Chen's strength, though, was slightly inferior to Gu Han's.

However, Gu Chen's flying sword's greatest advantage is that it is invincible against weaklings!

Even without Gu Chen having to fight personally, he can carve a bloody path!

The two quickly met up with Guan Shan, who had recovered some of his injuries.

Guan Shan, having only partially recovered, impatiently took the Blazing Hound and Purple Wing Wolf to confront the Martial Ancestor.

To share some of the pressure with the other deputy generals.

However, Guan Shan's condition made it too much of a strain, and he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

If Gu Han and Gu Chen hadn't arrived in time, Guan Shan would likely have to make another trip to the Gates of Hell.

"General Guan, don't show off."

Gu Chen's controlled flying sword was struck away by the Saber-tooth Army's Martial Ancestor, severing control.

Suffering a backlash from the flying sword, Gu Chen felt a sweetness in his throat as his Qi Blood surged.

Gu Han swept thousands with his Tiger-head Golden Spear, blocking the Martial Ancestor's frontal strike, and urged the Blazing Hound and Purple Wing Wolf,

"Hurry up and take General Guan and my brother away from here; I'll hold off the enemy!"

The Purple Wing Wolf and Blazing Hound gave Guan Shan and his companion no chance to resist, carrying them as they carved a bloody path and fled swiftly.

Only Gu Han remained, alone facing the Martial Ancestor and the encirclement of the numerous Saber-tooth Army.

"What a young genius—today he will die by my hand, truly delighting both body and mind!"

The Saber-tooth Army's Martial Ancestor gave a feral grin and swung his iron rod at Gu Han.

Gu Han stirred his Qi Blood, frantically circulating the Battle Formation Technique, with his spear tip pointing at the Martial Ancestor's deputy general.

Bang!

Gu Han staggered back several steps before steadying himself, while the Martial Ancestor retreated only two steps.

The Martial Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling his arm go a bit numb,

"Quite the strength you have."

Those skilled with the staff are none other than those with extraordinary arm strength.

Gu Han being able to match him evenly was completely beyond his expectation.

This time Gu Han was not feigning weakness; he was genuinely at a disadvantage.

Previously, when facing the Martial Ancestor, he had only won by sneak attacks and killings; after improving his strength considerably, he thought he could face the Martial Ancestor head-on.

But he never expected that there would be such a huge difference among Martial Ancestors!

At least when facing this Martial Ancestor, he had already fallen into a disadvantage.

The Martial Ancestor, emboldened, let out a roar and continued charging at Gu Han.

Gu Han wielded his Tiger-head Golden Spear with supernatural skill; although at a disadvantage, he showed no sign of weakening for a long time.

Moreover, their battle was immensely fierce; Gu Han fought while retreating, and in passing slew many of the Saber-tooth Army.

The Martial Ancestor grew more astonished as the battle went on, even though he could clearly suppress Gu Han.

Yet he felt that Gu Han's strength and speed seemed to be increasing at a slow but steady rate!

After the time it takes to finish half a cup of tea, he still could not defeat Gu Han.

However, Gu Han had slain dozens of Saber-tooth Army soldiers.

"Could this fellow be a cockroach?"

The Saber-tooth Army's Martial Ancestor's face turned grim,

"You still can't kill him?"
