Chapter 108: Thanks for the quote, Bro

Boom!

Boom!

The heavy sound was like a giant drum pounding on the chest.

Yellow sand flew, and dust filled the sky.

In the midst of the dust, the ferocious faces of colossal creatures could be seen faintly.

There were not one or two, but tens of thousands of terrifying demons!

The sight of tens of thousands of demons charging was immensely shocking and soul-crushing.

Amid the yellow sand, Zhao Ju was terrified by this scene.

They were hiding nearly ten miles from Wugui City, yet the army of tens of thousands of demons unsettled them. One could only imagine the pressure on Qi Yuan, who was sitting alone on the city wall, facing the demon army.

At this moment, Qi Yuan stood up on the city wall, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. Holding his broken sword, he looked happy: “The monsters are finally attacking the city!”

In games, there were often beast tides attacking cities.

During such times, player guilds would cooperate to defend the city.

But in this game, Qi Yuan was the only player.

So, he had to defend the city alone.

Looking at the army of tens of thousands of demons, his eyes shone with joy.

These demons were all experience points.

By slaying them all, he could level up several times.

As the army advanced, Qi Yuan, holding his broken sword, leaped off the city wall.

Together with Xiao Jia, he merged into one.

For Qi Yuan now, a larger body was more effective in slaying enemies.

Standing ten feet tall, Qi Yuan looked like a terrifying blood-red giant, wielding a blood-colored broken sword, resembling a battle demon drenched in blood.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju’s eyes widened: “What kind of divine power is this? It’s too cool!”

A land myth could possess divine powers.

Divine powers had unimaginable abilities.

Liu Wentai also looked at Qi Yuan’s enormous body. It wasn’t his first time seeing it, but each time, he was deeply shocked.

It felt like a majestic god or a terrifying giant demon was standing in the distance.

“It seems the defender of Wugui City will use his divine power to slash once and then escape!” Zhao Ju made his prediction. “We should be ready. Once the defender leaves, we need to retreat quickly!”

“Okay!” The cultivators present nodded, feeling a bit tense.

Indeed, as Zhao Ju predicted, Qi Yuan faced the army of demons.

In the first round, he used the Sky Severing Sword Technique!

For Qi Yuan, the Sky Severing Sword Technique was the simplest, most domineering, and most powerful skill.

One slash was like a world apart, enough to annihilate thousands of soldiers.

A sword of dozens of meters fell from the sky, and where the blade passed, it created a hundred-meter heatwave.

Yellow sand scattered, and the blood-red giant sword cut into the demon army like a celestial being wielding a sword.

The once terrifying and orderly demon army was split open by this slash.

The power of one sword killed nearly a thousand demons!

“So strong!” Zhao Ju was shocked, “If I were this strong, I’d play guerrilla warfare with the demon army every day, slashing once a day to anger them!”

After speaking, he prepared to leave.

Though Qi Yuan’s sword caused significant damage, it was nothing to the demon army. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The powerful demons within the army hadn’t been harmed.

“We…” Zhao Ju was about to suggest leaving, but what happened next stunned him completely.

He thought the defender of Wugui City would escape after causing damage with one slash.

But what did he see?

Facing the army of demons, the defender didn’t run. Instead, he charged into the army’s encirclement!

“This action of the Wugui City defender… is unwise!” Zhao Ju was puzzled, unable to understand Qi Yuan’s reasoning.

Though impressive, being surrounded by the demon army was deadly.

“Run now; there’s still a chance to break through!” Zhao Ju was more anxious than the blood-red figure, almost wanting to shout at Qi Yuan.

Liu Wentai was also worried, remembering Qi Yuan’s cold face. He believed Qi Yuan wasn’t such a person.

Meanwhile, at the rear of the demon army, the trainee demon controllers were laughing wildly.

“This Wugui City defender is truly reckless!”

“One person charges into my demon army; he’s courting death!”

“Does he really think we’re pushovers?”

These demon controllers sharpened their knives, mocking Qi Yuan.

Wu Tong, seeing the terrifying figure, also sneered.

“As expected of a disciple of the White Emperor, he has the confidence to charge alone into an army. Unfortunately, he met me.” Wu Tong thought to himself.

He spoke, his voice spreading through the army: “All national guardians, attack the Wugui City defender!”

He didn’t want to use ordinary demons to wear down the defender. Instead, he chose to suppress him with force!

After all, with the Supreme’s ultimate attack, he wasn’t afraid of the Wugui City defender.

Following Wu Tong’s command, dozens of national guardians surrounded Qi Yuan.

Powerful demons also rushed toward Qi Yuan.

Within ten breaths, over a hundred national guardians secretly surrounded the rampaging Qi Yuan.

Ten miles away, Zhao Ju saw this and despaired: “Now… the defender of Wugui City probably can’t get out.”

Surrounded by so many national guardians and countless demons, the defender had lost his last chance of survival.

Liu Wentai was also tense, feeling conflicted.

He trusted Qi Yuan’s strength, but the pressure Qi Yuan was facing was unimaginable.

In such a situation, how could it be resolved without a Supreme?

Unfortunately, the Supremes, high above, wouldn’t appear in such a small place.

“Unfortunately, I’m too weak. Otherwise… I’d fight alongside the Wugui City defender!” Liu Wentai sighed.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Qi Yuan was like a god of death, slaying everything in sight with his sword.

Currently, killing demons extracted 10% of the demonic origin for Qi Yuan.

Amid the slaughter, his eyes turned even redder, with emotions like greed, wrath, and arrogance flowing through them.

Qi Yuan grew more excited as he fought.

“More, more!”

With so much experience ahead, Qi Yuan was like a glutton starved for tens of thousands of years.

With each swing, a dozen demons were slain.

These demons couldn’t stop him or cause him any harm.

Back in the Sky Absolute stage, Qi Yuan could battle three thousand enemies of the same rank.

In the Earth Absolute stage, he could defeat demons of higher realms.

The tens of thousands of demons seemed numerous but were all just experience points for Qi Yuan.

His combat skills had been honed to perfection.

Anyone of the same rank fell with one sword strike!

He charged into the demon army as if there were no one there.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan’s eyes brightened, spotting someone a kilometer away: “An elite monster?”

He saw a state guardian.

The guardian, meeting Qi Yuan’s gaze, felt inexplicable fear.

“This Wugui City is too mysterious. I’d better lay low,” the old man thought, slowly retreating, not daring to move too obviously for fear of Wu Tong noticing.

But Qi Yuan wouldn’t let a targeted prey escape easily.

“Die!”

A kilometer was only a moment for Qi Yuan.

With a swing of his giant sword, the sword energy spanned thousands of meters.

Under Qi Yuan’s sword, the national guardian was no different from an ordinary demon.

The power of one sword meant only death.

In his final moments, his pupils dilated, showing regret.

If he had known, he would have retreated faster; if he had known, he wouldn’t have come.

This scene also fell into Wu Tong’s eyes.

He was anxious because, in this short time, the Wugui City defender had killed one-tenth of the demon army.

If this continued, even if he captured Wugui City, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

He shouted: “Wugui City defender, come die quickly!”

Wu Tong charged toward Qi Yuan.

His subordinates, seeing this, were confused.

When had their master become so reckless?

But after hesitating, they followed Wu Tong, surrounding Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan heard Wu Tong and looked displeased: “I still prefer silent NPCs; I even voice over them when I kill.

I hate talkative NPCs like you the most.”

Qi Yuan looked at Wu Tong: “No wonder you’re so confident. You’ve just entered the land myth realm.”

Holding his broken sword, Qi Yuan looked at Wu Tong calmly.

Just a land myth; he could kill him with one strike.

Even if there were three thousand of them, he would just take a bit longer.

“You’re indeed a land myth,” Wu Tong said, surprised.

He had broken through to the land myth realm six months ago.

None of his subordinates knew.

Yet, the Wugui City defender recognized it at a glance, proving his strength was also in the land myth realm, possibly an experienced one.

“Even if you’re an experienced land myth, surrounded by my army, you’ll still die!” Wu Tong said confidently.

Indeed, an experienced land myth surrounded like this would die.

Qi Yuan looked at Wu Tong and shook his sword: “Since you’re going to die, why not twist your head off and give it to me?

Life is hard; we should make things easier for each other.”

Wu Tong sneered: “I’m a land myth, you’re a land myth, why would I fear you?”

Without the Supreme’s ultimate attack, he would fear Qi Yuan.

But now?

Victory was certain.

Qi Yuan looked at Wu Tong: “I… have a heavenly foundation. My cultivation has long surpassed village-level cultivation. Killing you takes only one sword strike!”

Qi Yuan’s confidence soared with his heavenly foundation.

He felt like a nouveau riche coal boss.

“Nonsense!” Wu Tong no longer engaged with Qi Yuan verbally. “Take my divine power!”

Wu Tong’s subordinates were excited upon seeing this.

This was a divine power, the strongest means of a land myth.

Land myths were called such because they mastered divine powers.

Wu Tong’s eyes flashed with viciousness: “Since breaking through to the land myth realm, you’re the first to see my divine power. Dying under it, your death is worth it!”

With that, he swung his hand.

Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Reversal Palm!

As he pushed out his palm, yellow sand flew, and all the demons retreated.

Amid this palm, a purple droplet was hidden, floating towards Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan widened his eyes, glaring at Wu Tong, and cursed: “You have no martial virtue!”

This was no divine power!

This was an ultimate divine power!

Only Supremes had ultimate divine powers!

During the Earth Absolute stage, facing nearly three thousand extra-terrestrial demons, Qi Yuan became very familiar with ultimate divine powers.

Wu Tong was momentarily stunned, then realized that as a disciple of the White Emperor, recognizing an ultimate attack was normal for Qi Yuan.

He smiled: “How is an ultimate divine power not a divine power?”

Qi Yuan paused, then said to Wu Tong: “That’s a good line; I’ll take it for myself.”

Qi Yuan decided that once he mastered ultimate divine powers, he’d use that line while slaying enemies in the Golden Core or Divine Infant stages. “How is an ultimate divine power not a divine power?” It’d be as impactful as “The Milky Way is still a river.”

“To keep others from knowing I plagiarized you, I’ll have to kill you all to silence you!” Qi Yuan said coldly.

Wu Tong was bewildered: “Knowing the power of ultimate divine powers, you have no future left.”

Wu Tong’s eyes gleamed with pride.

Once Qi Yuan was dead, Wugui City would be his.

His task for the Supreme would be halfway completed.

“Die!”

The purple droplet shot towards Qi Yuan, and the world fell silent.

Qi Yuan’s enormous body seemed locked in place, unable to move.

Ultimate divine powers involved the essence, and without reaching the Supreme realm, land myths had no way to counter them.

Facing an ultimate divine power meant only death.

Qi Yuan also sensed the intense crisis.

If this hit him, he would surely die.

The gap between land myths and Supremes was like the difference between Divine Infants and Purple Mansions, a qualitative disparity.

Yet, Qi Yuan’s lips curled into a smile: “You think you’ve won by sneak attacking me without martial virtue?

But you forgot one fact: I’m not an elder; I’m a young man!”

In Qi Yuan’s memory, young men winning by sneak attacking elders was common.

But never the reverse.

In the Earth Abyss, extra-terrestrial demons often sneak attacked him without martial virtue, yet Qi Yuan grew stronger, even figuring out near a hundred techniques to dodge ultimate attacks.

He faced the purple droplet calmly, cycling through nearly a hundred avoidance techniques in his mind.

In a fraction of a second, Qi Yuan smiled: “Found it!”

Break!

He lightly exhaled towards the purple droplet.

The unbreakable ultimate divine power, capable of destroying a city, was blown apart by Qi Yuan’s breath.

Qi Yuan smiled, looking at Wu Tong: “Thanks for the rocket, bro!”

With his words, the scattered purple droplet suddenly split into two, four... a thousand... ten thousand droplets.

Tens of thousands of purple droplets hovered around Qi Yuan, motionless.

Wu Tong was dumbfounded: “What’s happening?”

He didn’t understand.

The demon army and the demon controllers felt a sense of danger.

The tens of thousands of purple droplets hovered before Qi Yuan.

This time, Qi Yuan gently blew on the droplets again.

“Like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of horses lose their heads!”

The wind moved the purple droplets, which then exploded.

Countless droplets, like flying arrows, shot into the demon army.

Qi Yuan, holding his broken sword, felt exuberant: “Cheating feels great!”

The purple droplets landed on the demons.

The powerful demons didn’t last a breath before dying and vanishing.

These droplets were like enhanced bone-melting water, performing human vanishing acts.

Any contact meant death.

“No!”

“What is this?”

“You…”

Wu Tong was also terrified, beyond his understanding.

The ultimate divine power was supposed to be his trump card.

How did it end up with the Wugui City defender?

Was this defender the Supreme himself?

He couldn’t comprehend it.

“No!” The droplets hit Wu Tong, and despite his struggles, he vanished.

Under the attack of the purple droplets, demons and demon controllers alike perished upon contact.

It was a spectacular sight, like rain falling, causing all life to collapse and perish.

In just three breaths, the entire demon army vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Qi Yuan’s eyes flickered with intense killing intent.

He had extracted much demonic origin this time, exuding a terrifying aura, resembling a true demon.

Holding his broken sword, his body shrank as he looked at the yellow sand, speaking softly.

“The wind rises, rippling a pool of spring water.”

He glanced at Zhao Ju and Liu Wentai in the distance before flashing back to Wugui City.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ju was utterly dumbfounded.

“Am I hallucinating?”

Liu Wentai was also silent, finding the scene incomprehensible.

Wu Tong had used his divine power to attack the Wugui City defender.

The defender blew on Wu Tong’s divine power, and suddenly, the entire demon army... was gone.

No matter how he thought about it, it seemed unbelievable.

“Sigh, it’s too unbelievable!” Zhao Ju sighed, “I misunderstood him. He wasn’t showing off; he’s genuinely impressive!”

Liu Wentai nodded in agreement.

One man took out an army of tens of thousands of demons!

This defender of Wugui City was likely the strongest below the Supreme realm!

“But the only flaw is…” Zhao Ju continued regretfully, “If the Wugui City defender had killed the demon army, then collapsed from exhaustion and died, today’s feat would be a timeless legend.”

Liu Wentai: “…”

...

In Garan City, Dong Long, with his silver hair and wrinkles, stood on the city wall, his face full of worry.

He was extremely anxious about the battle ahead.

Wu Tong was several times more troublesome than Mi Sang.

Once Wugui City fell, Garan City would be the next target, and he didn’t know how long they could hold out.

Thinking of this, Dong Long’s old face grew darker.

At that moment, his spirits lifted because the scouts sent to observe Wugui City’s battle were returning.

He was nervous but maintained his composure, sitting in the high tower.

No matter what happened, as the commander, he had to remain calm, like a mountain unshaken by a landslide.
