Heavenly Demon Sect.After the long inspirational war speech of elder Zen, all the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect looked as though they were possessed by a group of bloodthirsty demons.
A surging battle intent was radiating from each of their bodies. All of their nervousness had now completely disappeared and was now replaced by an insane bloodl.u.s.t and killing intents.
They all maintained their positions and posts, ready to fight the Yan Imperial army to the death to protect their home and showed them why they were called the fang of the evil sects.
Meanwhile, the Yan Imperial army was still nowhere to be seen. Only the sound of their synchronized march and of the clanging noises from their armor, as well as the iron hooves of their horses and demon beasts, could be heard.
Soon, multiple huge flags could be seen in the distance.
They were indeed truly ma.s.sive, even from the distance, one could estimate that the flagpoles were at least twenty meters long, as thick as a water bucket, rising high up in the skies.
Above, a nine meters long, six meters wide huge flag hung upon them, swaying gently in the wind.
The flags were lined with white thread, with the main symbol upon it a Golden Dragon. Two large words were inscribed below, clearly visible even in the distance – Yan Empire.
Almost after seeing the huge flags, a ma.s.sive Red Sea suddenly appeared in the distance. The ma.s.sive Red Sea resembled a tsunami made of blood.
This immense and all-encompa.s.sing Red Sea was comprised of several hundreds of thousands of Yan Empire"s soldiers clad in red armor which spread across the entire forests and mountains as they charged toward the Heavenly Demon Sect.
As far as the eyes could see, there were imperial soldiers. It was a vast and boundless sea of soldiers who were all releasing extremely strong and thick killing intents.
As the all-encompa.s.sing Red Sea comprised of the Yan Imperial army clad in red armor was charging towards the Heavenly Demon Sect like the mouth of a giant demon beat as if trying to swallow the entire sect in one gulp, the loud cry of the imperial soldiers could be heard as well
"The Yan Empire is everlasting and invincible!."
Their chant, akin to thunder in the sky, rang across the whole Heavenly Demon Sect and the surrounding. It looked as though their thunderous chant contained the power to shatter the sky and shook the Heaven and Earth. Furthermore, it was filled with bloodl.u.s.t and battle intent.
As they got closer, the ground continued to shake violently as if there was an earthquake.
The boundless sea of soldiers seemed to be divided into three groups. To the left was a group of soldiers mounted upon some sort of ma.s.sive mutated war horses.
The war-horses were totally covered in black scales, their snouts area were like lions" maw, a pair of horns s.h.i.+mmering with faint light on the top of their foreheads while their eyes were faintly red.
Their ma.s.sive muscles bulged, looking savage and ferocious, and even the most ferocious demon beast would pale in comparison.
To the right was an entire Regiment of war wolves. The Regiment of war wolves was charging at top speed… although the sound was definitely no match for the warhorses, their speed was much more terrifying. As for the middle, it was only comprised of foot soldiers.
Except for the four men in front, each one of them had their own war-horse. Furthermore, compared to the others, they wore a pitch-black armor. Their attire was filled with endless coldness and austerity. They looked intimidating and majestic.
These four men were none other than four of the sixteen imperial princes of the Yan Empire, leading this battle. Unlike the other princes, these four imperial princes were in charge of the foot soldiers.
As they got closer and closer, the entire 800 000 imperial soldiers suddenly split up. The soldiers on the left riding the warhorses went left while the thousands of wolf cavalry troops went right.
The tens of thousands of wolf cavalry troops, charging in the forest, was an imposing sight that would even cloud the sky.
As for the foot soldiers, they went straight ahead toward the Heavenly Demon Sect"s disciples that were stationed on the surrounding mountains and hills that served as a gate to the Sect.
In the next moment, the Yan Imperial army had surprisingly encircled the entire Heavenly Demon Sect. All the entrances and exits have been barricaded. No one could get out of the Sect even if wanted to unless that person could fly.
The Yan Imperial army seemed to have formed a wall of iron around the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After they completely surrounded the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Yan Imperial army suddenly stopped.
Between the armies of Yan Empire and the thousands of disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect stretched a vast field filled with green gra.s.s, separating the two of them.
Even after the entire Heavenly Demon Sect was completely surrounded by the Yan Imperial army and they were greatly outnumbered, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect still didn"t show any sign of fear.
They still looked as though they were possessed by a group of bloodthirsty demons and their battle intent didn"t weaken the least bit, instead it grew stronger and stronger with each pa.s.sing seconds.
However, they didn"t blindly charge forward. They still maintained their positions and posts, waiting for the Yan Empire to charge forward in an attempt to invade their sect.
Meanwhile, there were countless great sects and powerful influences along with many small kingdoms that followed this matter carefully.
Although they weren"t going to partic.i.p.ate in the war, it didn"t mean that they couldn"t watch.
At this moment, whether it was great elders from the other fifteen great influences and powerful n.o.ble families from the surrounding kingdoms...countless great and small characters all appeared to observe this battle from afar.
This war wasn"t going to be like your every war. It was a war between two great influences with Martial Saint powerhouses as their backing. This was a war that was going to decide the fate of the Heaven Desolate Region.
This was a war that no one wanted to miss.
.............
While the Heavenly Demon was about to face the Yan Empire in a large scale war, Ling Chen was only a few hours away from the Heavenly Demon Sect"s Domain.
Unbeknownst to him, there was someone that has been waiting for his return the whole time, not for any good reason.
That person was a middle-aged man with grey hair. He stood above the cloud of the Heavenly Demon Sect"s Domain like the statue of a G.o.d suppressing the world bellow.
He stood still without any movement. Not even a strand of his hair fluttered as if the wind didn"t dare to approach him.
Furthermore, there was something vile about this middle-aged man. His eyes shone with malice and ferocity.
He just stood there, unchanged, without any sign of emotions, but his breath was like a storm and tore apart anything that dared to come close.
"I can"t believe that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d has already broken through the Martial Saint realm." whispered the middle-aged man with his voice filled with murderous intent.
"No matter what, I"ll kill him before he makes it to the Heavenly Demon Sect." He added.
