Chapter 739 - Heavenly Pillar Mountain's Bloody Battle

Swoosh!

The Corpse Wizard King, Mother Empress, and the others advanced forward. They used the Demon God Battle Formation and launched ferocious attacks upon the long-browed ancestor. The Grand Wizard, Houtu, was very swift, and he instantly appeared in front of the roaring Lich King. He rained attacks down on his target!

At this critical juncture, Yang Ling didn't have to say anything. The Corpse Wizard King, Grand Wizard Houtu and the others tacitly understood his intentions.

Adjudicator Chris had unfathomable powers, and he was a terrifying enemy. Even the Grand Wizard, Houtu, wasn't sure that he could claim victory. If they fought him head-on, it would be unknown who would emerge victoriously. They might achieve a tragic victory, and their whole army might also be wiped out. This was why they had to send their strongest at the weakest opponent. After the Grand Wizard, Houtu, killed the Lich King, he would go back with the others and deal with Adjudicator Chris. They had to defeat three Great Divine Branches' allied armies with the lowest casualties possible, or even wipe out their army.

The crucial issue was whether Yang Ling could find enough time and whether he could resist Adjudicator Chris's sharp attacks until the Grand Wizard, Houtu, killed the Lich King.

"Humph, you have a death wish!"

Upon seeing Yang Ling pouncing at him, Adjudicator Chris was quite surprised. He snorted coldly and dodged Yang Ling's strong blade. Soon after, he tapped Yang Ling's Battle Soul Blade with his right hand's index finger.

Ding!

As a soft noise echoed out, cold air went through the Battle Soul Blade and into Yang Ling's body. The sharp Battle Soul Blade was instantly covered by a thick layer of ice, and the temperature within a perimeter of several hundred feet dropped drastically. Yang Ling felt like he just fell into a 10,000-year-old ice cave.

Ice-sealing Finger!

Adjudicator Chris comprehended the Ice Law, and his Ice Spells reached perfection. They also had peerless might. It seemed like he just waved his finger lightly, but this finger contained the abstruse mysteries of the Ice Law, and at least 800 powerhouses were killed by this finger strike in the last few years.

"It's awful!" When the terrifying cold air was about to seep into Yang Ling's body, he weaved Wizard Seals, and he cast the Wind Evasion Spell to teleport away. He also spoke a Wizard Mantra and swiftly revolved his Protective Wizard Power in his body. He forcefully neutralized the terrifying cold air, and he forced it out of his body.

Was this an Adjudicators power?

Yang Ling took a deep breath and looked at Adjudicator Chris near him, who didn't seem remarkable. He tightly held the sharp Battle Soul Blade in his hand, and he thought about that terrifying cold air. His scalp couldn't help but turn numb upon thinking about it. Even though he knew long ago that an Adjudicator was very powerful and had power greater than ordinary Core Deities and Dimensional Wanderers, he still didn't expect that his power would be so great.

The Ice-sealing Finger could instantly kill a Dimensional Wanderer, and it was a terrifying move.

"Your power is only so-so, but your speed is pretty good. It's a pity that your speed won't help you escape death." Adjudicator Chris's expression was ice-cold. His body moved again, and he pounced at Yang Ling. He was as swift as lightning, and he wasn't any weaker than the Grand Wizard, Houtu.

Yang Ling was surprised, and even Adjudicator Chris was also surprised. But he still wore a composed look even though he was stunned. He didn't expect Yang Ling to grasp the Spatial Teleportation Spell, and he didn't expect Yang Ling to be able to easily block his unstoppable Ice-sealing Finger. After Adjudicator Chris got over his shock, he attacked proactively. He planned to swiftly kill the Magical Beast Core Deity, Yang Ling, who had emerged suddenly, and he planned to do so to prevent the occurrence of any unforeseen incidents.

"Soul Dissolving Spell!"

Yang Ling let out a shout and faced his opponent head-on once again. He attacked with full power, and a Scarlet Blade Aura appeared around his sharp Battle Soul Blade. This Scarlet Blade Aura was also accompanied by eye-catching serpentine lightning. Yang Ling had also cast the Soul Explosion Wizard Spell before he approached his target, and he attacked Adjudicator Chris's soul.

Swoosh!

Both sides were swift, and they swiftly exchanged attacks again. Yang Ling suffered the opponent's Ice-sealing Finger Strike again. But this time, the terrifying old air was stronger than before by around 10 times, and he was almost turned into an ice sculpture on the spot. Meanwhile, the confident Adjudicator Chris, who planned to kill Yang Ling with a single strike, was greatly surprised once again.

At first, he had been caught off-guard by Yang Ling's Soul Explosion Wizard Spell, and this was followed by the Scarlet Blade Aura around the Battle Soul Blade, which entered deep into his body. His soul defenses, which weren't perturbed for innumerable years, were shaken.

The serpentine lighting of Yang Ling's sharp Battle Soul Blade couldn't pose a great threat to Adjudicator Chris. But Yang Ling had strong Soul Energy and great control over souls. The might of his soul attacks were no small matter, and Adjudicator Chris felt danger that he hadn't felt in a long time.

"Good, pretty good. I finally ran into a worthy opponent that deserves facing my sword."

Adjudicator Chris looked at the drenched Yang Ling in the vicinity, who forced the cold air out of his body. His expression was ice-cold, and he pulled out his sharp sword. In an instant, the temperature within a perimeter of ten miles dropped drastically, and this was accompanied by a suffocating wave of pressure. The people's clothes started fluttering, and they were instantly covered by a layer of bone-chilling ice.

Ice Sword!

Adjudicator Chris wanted to finish the battle quickly and kill the Magical Beast Core Deity, Yang Ling, who was adept at soul attacks. This was why he didn't hold anything back, and he let out a whistle before he attacked strongly. Wherever the cold sword passed by, all Undead Beings and Magical Beasts that couldn't get out of the way in time would be frozen and turned into purple ice sculptures. As a cold wind blew over, those sculptures disintegrated and disappeared from the world. This was very frightening!

Swoosh!

Yang Ling used his powerful body and Five Element Evasions Spells to avert dangers repeatedly, and he would always dodge Adjudicator Chris's terrifying attacks at every crucial juncture. Sometimes, he would still take the sword blow head-on and launch a crazy counterattack at close range. He would attack the opponent's soul directly. This was why his opponent couldn't take this carelessly at all.

However, even though he could escape without suffering mishaps every time, Adjudicator Chris sped up, and Yang Ling's situation turned for the worse. He might lose his life at any moment. He had already comprehended a Blade Technique that could neutralize the Ice-sealing Law, but Adjudicator Chris's comprehension of Ice-sealing Law was very high, and Yang Ling's Ice Breaking Technique was useless against him.

...

The situation of the Magical Beast Army was very different from the situation of Yang Ling, who suffered dangers repeatedly. The Magical Beast Army commanded by the Blood Angel, Ophilia, lured the enemy to venture deeper, and they drew help from Yang Ling's Great Wizard World and Restriction Spells to strenuously resist the joint attack of three Great Divine Branches. They had even carried out a ferocious counterattack. They easily slaughtered the Algernon Divine Branch's men, the Justin Divine Branch's heavy infantry and the Undead Beings affiliated with the Lich King.

The Giant Ape King, Dark Dragon King, Burning Fire Elf King, Horned Dragon king, and the other Magical Beasts commanded their corps and fought jointly. They commanded the bloodthirsty Magical Beasts and rained down attacks upon the enemy. Every wave of attack was stronger than the last. If they came across strong Divine Duty Experts, they would all join hands and form the Demon God Battle Formation. They would recklessly attempt to kill the Divine Duty Expert on the spot. The Thousand-handed Blood Vine, Shadow Wizard Winnink, and Scorpion King Emmett were three Great Shadow Wizard Killers, and they cast Shadow Wizard Spells as they wandered like ghosts on the battlefield. They all held God Slaughtering Arrows and killed the enemy army's officers one by one.

Every time a sharp God Slaughtering Arrow flew out, an officer of the enemy army would drop on the ground, and there wasn't any exception to this. Their heads were penetrated by the arrows smeared in deadly poison, and they were killed by a single strike.

The Dark Dragon King, Horned Dragon King, and the other people all guarded a region and launched precise attacks. But the person who made the greatest contribution in this large-scale bloody battle was the Thousand-faced Mink. The Thousand-faced Mink, who was protected by the purple mouse, Little Ice, was running around everywhere and trying hard to use the Magical Beast Kings as a model and create a large number of illusory Magical Beasts. It ordered those Magical Beasts to surround the enemy army within the Restriction Spells. They used both genuine and fake Magical Beasts, and they tried to greatly impair the enemy's fighting spirit and valor. They tried to weaken the enemy's main force as much as possible.

At first, the three Great Divine Branches, which turned out in full power, had more troops than the Magical Beast Army. But the number of bloodthirsty Magical Beasts was increased in a short period thanks to the Thousand-faced Mink's efforts. The collective amount of genuine and illusory Magical Beasts was higher than the enemy army by several times, and they also drew help from Yang Ling's Great Wizard World and Restriction Spells. It could be said that they took advantage of the terrain and weather conditions.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"The whole army should retreat!"

...

The three Great Divine Branches' troops got caught in the Restriction Spells laid by Yang Ling, and they suffered from the Magical Beasts' crazy attacks. They had their own unspeakable sufferings, and even a Divine Duty Expert couldn't escape from death in the face of the joint attacks of the Dark Dragon King, Horned Dragon King, Old Dragon Turtle, and the others. Even a powerful Dimensional Wanderer couldn't do anything in the face of those strong Magical Beasts, who formed the Demon God Battle Formation and fused their power.

The power of a single God-level Magical Beast was limited, but if 1,000 or 10,000 God-level Magical Beasts fused their power, then their might would be beyond people's imaginations. Even ordinary Dimensional Wanderers wouldn't be a match for them, let alone Divine Duty Experts who were weaker. It was only powerhouses at the level of the long-browed Ancestor or Adjudicator Chris that could deal with them.

The army was ambushed by the enemy, and it couldn't retreat. When the Lich King and the long-browed ancestor realized this, they were startled and angered. But they couldn't do anything about this. They didn't have a way to go over there to support them, and it was difficult for them to protect themselves. They had their own indescribable hardsh.i.p.s.

The long-browed ancestor's power was higher than ordinary Dimensional Wanderers, and his comprehension of the Wind Law surpassed the Algernon Core Deity greatly. The wind blades dancing in the sky were sharp and scary. They tore through all the Undead Beings and Magical Beasts in the vicinity that couldn't get out of the way in time. However, it was a pity that he wasn't facing ordinary Dimensional Wanderers, but Yang Ling's valiant five generals instead.

The Corpse Wizard King, Golden Roc, Mother Empress, Poison Dragon King, and the Black-horned Demon were all powerhouses that could take on heavy responsibility. After they formed the Demon God Battle Formation and fused their power, both their offensive and defensive powers reached an astounding level. The long-browed ancestor was very strong, but he was facing five people's attacks, and he couldn't get the upper hand. He had even gotten fl.u.s.tered, and he sustained more injuries. His situation was far from good!

If it could be said that the long-browed ancestor was just fl.u.s.tered and in an awful situation, then the Lich King, whose power was lower by a whole level, was facing a great calamity. He faced the precise attacks of the Grand Wizard, Houtu, and he sustained serious injuries. He couldn't fight his opponent, and he also couldn't escape from him. His situation was extremely awful!

"Ah... Heavenly Curtain of Darkness!"

After several of the Lich King's ribs were broken by a punch of Grand Wizard Houtu, he discerned that he would die if he continued fighting. He let out a pained groan and gnashed his teeth to cast his ultimate move. He attempted to escape from the terrifying Grand Wizard. Before he carried out this operation, he assumed that he could easily exterminate the Magical Beast Divine Branch, which occupied the Giant Dragon Valley, with three Great Divine Branches' allied armies, as well as the powerful long-browed ancestor and Adjudicator Chris. He didn't expect that he would come across a terrifying enemy.

Swoosh!

A perimeter of a dozen miles suddenly turned pitch-black, and one wasn't able to see their fingers anymore. Even one's Divine Knowledge was greatly restricted. The Lich King's Heavenly Curtain of Darkness was like a large black iron pot that shrouded the people in darkness. The Lich King heaved a sigh of relief, and he planned to take advantage of this to escape from the Grand Wizard, Houtu, who pursued him and attacked him relentlessly. But at this moment, an intense stab of pain suddenly came from the pit of his stomach.

When he lowered his head and took a look, he discovered that his chest was penetrated forcefully by a bloody hand.
