Action begins, the terrifying seeds of light! (5400)

Chapter 531: Operation Begins, Terrified Seeds of Light! (5400)

A few minutes later, they arrived above that mountain range.

Even Cao Xing could sense the chaotic fluctuations coming from below.

The battle seemed to still be ongoing, and it looked quite intense.

The Old King furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Down below, besides a massive amount of aura of light, there is also an evil power."

"It's very similar to the destroyed stronghold we investigated last time. It should be that group of demons making a move against the Church of Light again."

Cao Xing was slightly stunned. "How could it be them?"

The Old King said indifferently, "What else could it be for?"

"This matter is probably inseparable from you——"

After saying that, he took a deep look at Cao Xing.

Through Kaluo's intelligence, he more or less knew the whole story of the matter.

During the last Lake Doron City battle, that abruptly appearing demon helped them a lot and also caught the Old King's attention.

Coupled with the matters in the royal palace, they had already deduced that that demon was Cao Xing.

Cao Xing diverted the disaster eastward, making the demon race and the Church of Light fight each other.

Therefore, it turned these two forces into life-and-death enemies as they were now.

Cao Xing said, "It has nothing to do with me; I just went with the flow."

"I also didn't know that this group of demons would be so radical as to run over and strike the headquarters of the Church of Light again."

The Old King replied, "The subsequent matters indeed don't have much to do with you."

"After the demon race attacked the headquarters of the Church of Light last time, I sent people to investigate the cause."

"After a period of investigation, we found that the earliest battle occurred in Gale Snowfield, and it seemed that demons died there."

"It should be that the Church of Light side killed a certain important member of the demon race, and this is their revenge against the Church of Light."

A look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes, and he roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

At this moment, the Old King changed the topic.

"Lord Cao Xing, you say if your side's matter is exposed and that group of demons knows it was you who disguised yourself—"

"Will they continue to deal with the Church of Light, or will they unite to deal with you?"

Cao Xing was slightly stunned.

This matter was indeed hard to say.

Although Cao Xing only added fuel to the flames, that important member of the demon faction wasn't killed by him either.

But in this matter, he indeed bore responsibility.

After knowing this, that group of demons might really give up dealing with the Church of Light and turn around to deal with him. Cao Xing did not answer, but instead changed to another question and asked.

"Your Majesty the King, has your army arrived at the target point?"

The Old King nodded slightly, "They should be arriving soon."

Cao Xing said, "Then right now, let's make a move directly!"

"If that group of demons unites with the Church of Light to deal with me, then we'll wipe them all out together!"

Although he really wanted to wait until that group of demons and the Church of Light fought to the death before making a move,

however, when these aboriginals killed each other before joining the territory, besides leaving behind corpses, they wouldn't drop items like souls or Hearts of Power.

And what was Cao Xing's biggest goal this time besides overthrowing the Church of Light?

Naturally, it was the souls and Hearts of Power on these bishops and archbishops!

These were all resources he was urgently lacking.

A hesitant look appeared in the Old King's eyes, and then he asked, "Are you confident?"

After all, the two factions below were not easy to mess with.

In his view, for Cao Xing to be able to deal with the Church of Light was already quite remarkable.

At this time, if there were an extra demon race as an enemy, the result would be very hard to predict.

Cao Xing smiled and nodded. "Of course."

His tone carried full confidence.

The Old King took a deep look at him, then nodded and said, "Alright, then let's make a move."

Thus, the Ice Crystal King turned around and quickly contacted his subordinate army.

Cao Xing also pressed the [Long-Distance Communication Device] by his ear and switched to the team channel,

"Everyone, start the attack now!"

Hearing the command,

far away more than two thousand kilometers away, the four teams led by Hilda and Blot and others quickly launched an attack!

They rushed to the stronghold at the fastest speed.

On the other side, Bjorn and Xiao and others also launched attacks on these strongholds.

Including the King's army, they also began the state of accelerating their march.

At this moment, Hilda had already led the Blood Spider army into that city of ruins.

"Chua, chua—"

Endless Blood Spiders followed closely behind her as she advanced,

soon, the Blood Spider army stopped in front of a hidden ruin.

It looked like there was a door leading underground here, but it was sealed shut.

Seeing this scene, Hilda lazily waved her hand.

The Giant Blood Spider beside her instantly leapt high into the air like a mad tank, and then violently jumped onto that patch of ruins!

"Boom!!!"

An earth-shattering explosion sounded.

That patch of ruins was directly smashed into a large hole by the Giant Blood Spider.

"Boom, boom—"

Dust and stones filled the sky as they fell.

In the underground space beneath this ruin, a group of Church of Light cultists wearing masks and holding weapons were patrolling back and forth.

Next to them was also a group of blacksmiths sweating profusely.

Following an earth-shattering explosion, everyone's attention was instantly attracted.

Then, they saw that hole that had been forcefully smashed open!

A giant Blood Spider covered in blood-red shells all over its body, nearly two meters in size, jumped down, and a powerful sense of oppression instantly permeated the air!

After all, the Giant Blood Spider was a Commander-level monster with Level 60 strength!

It was capable of slaughtering their entire stronghold in a short amount of time!

Those cultists of the Church of Light also reacted at this moment and hurriedly shouted loudly, "Enemy attack! There's an enemy attack!"

Instantly, this large stronghold fell into commotion.

Hundreds of cultists swarmed over aggressively, and among them were even two white-robed priests!

Both of them possessed Tier 6 Boss-tier strength!

Those blacksmiths who had been captured were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly hid in a corner on the side.

However, that Giant Blood Spider still stood in place, seemingly not launching an attack immediately.

Before they could react,

they then saw patch after patch of red figures crawling out from the hole overhead.

"Chua, chua—chua—"

A large number of explosive Blood Spiders surged in from the hole like a tide!

Among them, a few cultists were standing relatively forward. Before they had time to retreat, they were submerged by the massive amount of Blood Spiders.

Then, piercing screams rang out throughout the entire underground space!

"Ah!!! What is this thing?!"

"Damn it! These spiders are biting my body! Save me!"

However, the screams did not last long.

Because their bodies were quickly devoured clean by these Blood Spiders, not even bone scraps were left behind.

Such a terrifying scene instantly made that group of cultists feel their scalps tingle!

And the other white-robed priests quickly reacted and shouted loudly,

"Attack! Quick, attack! Shoot and kill these spiders!"

For a moment, a large number of cultists launched attacks one after another.

Various ranged arrows were shot out.

"Swoosh! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

"Puff! Puff~!"

The health of these explosive Blood Spiders was already very low, and at this moment they were being killed in large patches.

However, compared to their terrifying numbers, the death of these explosive Blood Spiders was completely not worth mentioning.

And right at this moment, as a blood-colored figure slowly walked over, everyone's gaze was attracted.

That was a tall figure with an oppressive aura!

Eight slender legs seemed to step on everyone's hearts; the lower body's spider form had smooth lines, and the human upper body fully displayed enchanting beauty.

Her eyes carried the arrogance and chill of looking down on everything, like a queen who ruled the world.

And by her side, there were also hundreds of giant Blood Spiders with ferocious auras and shells flashing with a gloomy, cold light!

The aura of a Tier 7 Overlord-tier almost made people unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Hilda casually waved her hand. "Children, start dining."

"Hiss, hiss—"

A swarm of Blood Spiders surged out like a wave of the sea!

The cultists of the Church of Light also suddenly woke up at this moment.

The two white-robed priests shouted loudly, "Quick, stop them!"

They frantically launched attacks, killing those explosive Blood Spiders.

However, they could only deal damage to these explosive Blood Spiders.

Facing a group of elite Blood Spiders buffed with various statuses, the effectiveness of their attacks was greatly reduced.

In the blink of an eye, their formation was broken through by the Blood Spider army, and then a one-sided slaughter began.

The Church of Light was beaten to a state of complete collapse.

On the field, only those two Tier 6 Boss-tier white-robed priests were able to make a counterattack!

"Swish! Boom!"

Sword Qi swept across, forcing a group of elite Blood Spiders back, with several huge damage numbers appearing above their heads.

Explosive arrows instantly exploded, blowing a group of Blood Spiders into utter disarray.

The attacks of the two Master-level powerhouses were still quite powerful.

Large areas of explosive Blood Spiders were killed.

Including those elite Blood Spiders, they were also constantly being forced back.

Seeing this scene, Hilda's cold and gorgeous face did not show the slightest fluctuation, and then she casually waved her hand.

A blood shadow burrowed directly into the body of one of the white-robed priests at an extremely fast speed.

Then one could see that beneath his skin, some kind of creature seemed to be crawling wildly, and it burrowed into his stomach.

Accompanied by a set of teeth-gritting gnawing sounds ringing out,

this white-robed priest let out a piercing scream.

"Praise the God of Light! What is this thing?"

"Damn it! Hurry up and drive it out of my body!"

"Ah!! It's biting my intestines!"

He fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and trembling violently, while continuously vomiting clots of blood from his mouth!

Such a horrifying scene made people feel a tingling sensation across their scalps!

Meanwhile, the other white-robed priest was targeted by the giant Blood Spider.

"Hiss hiss……" The giant Blood Spider rushed toward the opponent at an extremely fast speed like a maddened tank.

And this white-robed priest frantically pulled the bowstring, shooting arrows imbued with the aura of light, trying to shoot it down.

However, the giant Blood Spider still didn't dodge or evade.

Those arrows landed on its body, making crisp "clang, clang, clang" sounds, without making it take a single step back at all.

Brushing through the white-robed priest's dense firepower head-on, it rushed right in front of him,

and then clamped onto the other party's arm with its sharp giant pincers.

"Snap~!"

A bloody right hand was directly torn off.

Accompanied by a miserable scream, this white-robed priest also lost the ability to resist.

After the two white-robed priests fell to the ground, they were immediately engulfed by a large number of self-detonating Blood Spiders, and then killed in less than a few seconds.

As for the remaining cultists, they had even less ability to resist.

Amidst the screams, they were quickly swallowed up by the Blood Spider legion.

Meanwhile.

On the other side, Tian Jing, leading one hundred Ascalon Warriors, had also arrived at the target location.

The stronghold where he was located was a village in a remote area.

It had been investigated beforehand that everyone in this village had been converted into members of the Church of Light.

In other words, they just needed to slaughter everyone in the village.

Tian Jing took a deep breath.

Then, he heard the voice of Cao Xing ordering the attack echoing in his ear.

The next moment, Tian Jing said, "Begin the attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead, springing up from the spot like a huge lizard!

Jumping a hundred meters high in a single bound!

With a trail of ghastly green flames on his body, he cut through the pitch-black night sky.

The cultists guarding the watchtowers only saw a string of eerie firelight leaping into the village.

By the time they just reacted, expressions of terror had already appeared in their eyes!

Meanwhile, after entering the village, Tian Jing straightened his lizard body, opened his bloody mouth wide toward the sky, and spewed out clusters of ghastly green toxic flames.

"Whoosh! Clatter!"

After landing, these toxic flames instantly spread hundreds of meters like a burst Molotov cocktail.

Clusters of toxic flames quickly landed.

The ground and houses within a radius of a thousand meters around were all ignited by this terrifying toxic flame!

This was precisely his ultimate skill—Sea of Death's Toxic Flames!

Many cultists hadn't even reacted in their sleep when they suddenly felt a sharp pain attacking their entire bodies.

As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw their bodies attached with an eerie flame, and terror instantly appeared in their eyes!

"Ah! What is this thing?"

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the flames on my body!"

At the same time, the cultists patrolling the outer watchtowers suddenly issued urgent warning sounds.

"Enemy attack! Enemies have attacked our stronghold!"

"Jingle, jingle, jingle!!!"

The urgent alarm bell rang.

Throughout the village, a large number of cultists rushed out of their rooms, with ghastly green flames still burning on their bodies.

At a glance, they saw a terrifying creature walking upright amidst the raging firelight!

That was a huge lizard covered in scales, nearly two meters tall!

When the archers on the watchtowers saw Tian Jing's appearance, panic instantly emerged in their pupils.

They had just prepared to draw their bowstrings and focus their fire on that lizard.

At that moment, a group of soldiers wearing battle armor and solemn expressions rushed over quickly,

advancing in an orderly and neat formation while wielding their blades.

The watchtowers along the way and the iron caltrops at the gates were like tofu, easily chopped into pieces by them.

"Rumble!"

Watchtower after watchtower collapsed, and the cultists on them fell into the Sea of Death's Toxic Flames, emitting horrifying screams.

Then, they entered the village and began a one-sided slaughter.

Although there was also a Commander-level white-robed priest guarding this stronghold, obviously, it was of no use.

Not long after the battle began, the situation was already controlled by Tian Jing and the others.

Similar scenes were being staged everywhere.

Including Bjorn and the others, they also directly launched attacks after arriving at their target areas.

Dozens of strongholds of the Church of Light were attacked simultaneously!

[Your territory member: Hilda Bloodkiss killed Church of Light: Alvin Webber Lv54, Tier 6 leader-level creature, gained EXP: 0, gained Honor Points: 600]

[Your vassal lord: Tian Jing killed Church of Light: Angelo David Lv61, Tier 7 boss-level creature, gained EXP: 0, gained Honor Points: 210]

[Your……]

Cao Xing was lingering high in the air at this moment, and seeing the scrolling battle information, his heart stirred slightly.

"Your Majesty the King, my people have already begun the attack."

The Old King nodded slightly, "Our army has also reached the destination."

"Now, you guys go down too."

"I will keep an eye on it from above, and if there are any unexpected situations, I will make a move."

Cao Xing understood his meaning; the Old King was keeping an eye on that hidden Legendary.

"Alright, then we'll head down first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Spirit Vision Goshawk, carrying the giant dragon Seraphis, swooped down below.

At this moment.

In the underground palace below, a terrifying battle was still taking place.

The demons continuously released large-scale skills, shrouding the entire underground palace in darkness, while on the side of the Church of Light, Archbishop Michael held back the two powerful demons, the infant and the farm woman, with his own strength.

Even the Seed of Light was constantly turning the holy scripture, releasing waves of dawn to bless the combat power of its subordinates.

That Watcher dressed in a gray robe did not make a move against that group of demons, but instead guarded by the side of the Seed of Light.

His task seemed to be simply protecting the safety of the Seed of Light.

As for the grudges between the demon faction and the Church of Light, they had nothing to do with him.

"Rustle, rustle!"

The Dawn Scripture was continuously turned, condensing a sacred aura from it.

The Seed of Light said in a deep voice, "Dawn can bring hope, and it can also bring redemption."

"Dawn Rebirth!"

"Hum!"

From that scripture, a powerful wave burst out once again.

Not only did it recover the injuries of all members of the Church of Light on the field, but it also caused their auras to surge significantly!

Archbishop Michael held a glowing longsword in his hand.

With every sword strike, there were sword marks spanning a hundred meters!

The strength of the Tier 10 Sovereign-level was fully displayed without a doubt!

United with other red-robed bishops, they blasted this group of demons into a steady retreat!

However, the demons this time came prepared.

Seeing Michael display such divine might, that infant…

With a "rip" sound, it directly ripped open its own belly, splitting out a large number of bugs from within.

"Rustle, rustle!"

The speed of these bugs was extremely fast. Almost in a flash, they attached themselves to the bodies of those members of the Church of Light, extending tentacles that firmly rooted themselves into their bodies!

What was even more terrifying was that the bodies of those clung to by its bugs were actually out of their own control!

Under the control of that infant, these cultists of light actually began to attack their own people!

Moreover, when the Archbishop's sword qi swept across, they used their own bodies to block the attacks for that group of demons!

Seeing this scene, Archbishop Michael rebuked angrily, "Such evil means!"

After possessing bodies, these bugs could actually control the actions of others; it was truly too perverted!

Michael realized that these bugs had to be cleared away first.

He waved the glowing longsword in his hand and began to launch continuous slashes.

"Swish! Pfft!"

A large number of bugs were swept by his sword qi and evaporated on the spot.

Including the bugs attached to the bodies of those cultists of light, they were also easily cut off!

Without the control of the bugs, that group of cultists of light returned to normal.

Soon, the Church of Light regained the upper hand.

Seeing that the battle situation had stabilized, the Seed of Light hiding behind the crowd gradually wore a smile on its face.

"A bunch of defeated foes who were beaten into a panicked flight last time, letting you luck out and save your lives."

"Even if you appear again, so what?"

"This time, it's just right to wipe you all out in one net."

As soon as it finished speaking, it was about to turn the scripture and release some kind of method.

At that very moment, its expression changed drastically in an instant!

It saw that the Dawn Scripture in its hand suddenly flipped pages frantically, and piece after piece of distress messages emerged on it.

"Child of Light, this is the arms factory under the ruins of Thorn City. We are under attack here."

"Lord Seed of Light, this is the stronghold of Mount Hencha. The King's army led people to raid our stronghold!"

"The Windgap Fort stronghold is under attack!"

A series of distress messages made the smile on the Seed of Light's face disappear, and its mood instantly plummeted to the bottom of the valley.
