Chapter 467: Battle Begins

The Diviners were fearful as they saw the ruthless expression on Lin Xiao's face. They instantly knew that they would not be able to execute their plan as expected initially.

The Xiyang Continent had spent a lot of effort getting a handful of Diviners to come to their continent with the intent of taming the Primordial Beasts of the Demon Phoenix Continent's Army.

The Primordial Beasts from the Demon Phoenix Continent were much stronger and had better potential than those in the Xiyang Continent. This was because it was a continent controlled by a Sovereign Beast family, so the beasts were more renowned and respected.

That being said, humans were not suppressed or looked down upon, they just had fewer chances for brilliance, but these Primordial Beasts, if they could be caught, then they would, without a doubt, become the best companion in the future.

As for the Diviners, the Xiang Continent had gone to the Golden Chambers and requested for a way to tame beasts, and the Golden Chambers had informed them of the Diviners.

The Golden Chambers was owned by Tao Wu and Lan, but Lan had been in hiding for the last couple of months. Ever since he sensed that Hui Yue had arrived at the world, he had drawn away from everything of importance, and even Golden Chambers were left to Tao Wu to deal with.

Tao Wu was unaware of the disagreement between Xue Wei and the Diviners. He was also unaware that Xue Wei and the others were involved in the war between the two continents, and even worse, he had aided Xue Wei's enemies.

Lan only needed a glance to see through what had happened, but Xue Wei was still unaware and confused as to why the Diviners had suddenly appeared in the middle of the Xiyang Continent.

The two armies were staring at one another. The Demon Phoenix Continent had located every monk-like figure within the opposing army, and their eyes were ablaze with anger. It was clear that they had every intention of killing these Diviners first.

Seeing their intentions, the Xiyang army was suddenly unsure of what to do. Their original plan was disturbed due to Xue Wei and Lin Xiao, and they did not know how to turn it around.

As they were busy thinking, Xue Wei's voice sounded. "What are you waiting for?"

Everyone looked at him with puzzlement. "We are going to save those Vermilion Birds. Now the enemy is in disarray, are we going just to let them collect themselves, or are we going to slaughter all of them?"

His words made the Demon Phoenix army come out of their stupor, but the Xiyang Army suddenly felt a strange fear creep up on them.

Before they had the time to react, the Demon Phoenix Continent's army came rushing towards them like a flood. Some had taken on their beast shapes, while others wielded weapons.

The beasts were aware that as long as they did not eradicate the Diviners, they would be in danger. Hence, while they also fought back against the ordinary soldiers, all their focus was on the Diviners, and on swiftly exterminating them.

"Hold them back!" the chubby middle-aged man screamed, his eyes were full of malicious intentions as he looked at Xue Wei and Lin Xiao.

"Protect the Diviners! Diviners, try to tame at least a few beasts! Soldiers, protect the diviners, and kill the man named Lin Xiao!"

The chubby man had understood that Lin Xiao would be able to interfere with the taming of beasts, so he had to have him killed as soon as possible, but contrary to his expectations, Lin Xiao just grinned grimly. He was used to being a target.

"Everyone protect Lin Xiao!" Xue Wei yelled out to his friends, and all of them took a formation around Lin Xiao, not allowing anyone to get near.

Inner Might: Qi Sword!

Scale Shield!

Xue Wei activated his Qi and created a Qi sword, which he used to slash down one after another, cutting all approaching soldiers into half.

The Scale Shield did not cover himself but covered Lin Xiao, who had lifted his staff in the air. He was muttering lowly, and strong fluctuations of energy rolled off his body.

The Diviners opposite tried their best to stay alive, while also trying to tame beasts, but it was as if there was strange energy blocking them.

Usually, when a Diviner connected to the mind of a beast, they could slowly erode and gain control over them, but it was as if they were encountering a wall blocking their minds.

They could not help but stare at Lin Xiao with hatred. They knew that he was using the Divine Staff to block their attempts, but they could do nothing as he was protected well by the people around him.

Lin Xiao did not have to do anything else other than blocking the minds of the Diviners. He trusted Xue Wei with his life while he had entered a strange trance-like status.

Devouring Fist!

Kick of the Raging Tempest!

Twenty-Seventh Layered Azure Sword!

Xue Wei was using his attacks one after another. He could conjure the Qi Sword up with a moment's thought, and thus, he also used fists and legs to both kick and hit whoever came close.

He thought that he was doing well when it came to killing experts, but upon closer inspection, he saw that Bai Tianyi had changed to a massive spiritual energy sword, which was harvesting lives as a sickle was cutting weeds.

It was not only Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi who were going all out; Luoluo had also created a massive spiritual energy ice snake which was attacking indiscriminately, anyone who got close was frozen into ice statues before she went closer and absorbed their soul power.
