First kill the captain, fight to the death or retreat? (5600)

"Stain, what's the situation?"

"Is this the power of sealing? Who did this?"

Obviously, this was naturally Cao Xing's doing!

He had been eyeing this guy for a long time!

The old king had just unleashed two consecutive sword strikes, slaying one Legendary of the Blood Legion while also forcing another Legendary into its resurrection state.

But even after resurrecting, it was in a weakened state and had less than 30 million HP remaining!

Given Cao Xing's firepower, this amount of HP could be instantly depleted in a short time!

Therefore, seeing the opportunity, he struck almost without hesitation.

Then he shouted loudly: "Attack, take him out for me!"

The moment they heard the command, Assam, Sarah, Bing Lan, and the others were still in a state of confusion.

But at this moment, they still subconsciously launched their attacks, just like a muscle reflex!

"Clatter!"

A massive wave of attacks descended instantly!

Before those Legendary powerhouses realized what was happening, the two Demigod-level beings had already reacted.

They shouted angrily: "Stop right there!"

"You are courting death!"

The sky, which had returned to calm, fell into violent tremors once again due to the eruption of the two Demigod-level beings' auras.

A terrifying sense of oppression filled the world!

Then, facing the threats of the two Demigod-level beings, Cao Xing and his team's attacks did not hesitate in the slightest!

All attacks landed on this Watchers Legendary without obstruction.

Including Isabelle, who was wielding the Chapter of Radiance and outputting damage frantically.

With the addition of this Legendary powerhouse's damage output,

This Blood Legion Legendary could not even last a second with 30 million HP.

In the blink of an eye, its HP hit zero, and then with a 'bang', it exploded into a pool of blood!

Meanwhile, a system notification appeared.

[Your territory member: Isabelle Gospel has successfully killed Blood Legion Myriarch: Qi Stain Lv125, Legendary creature, obtained EXP: 79200000]

[Obtained War Merit: 1.25 million]

[Attention! Because you are the first Survivor on the server to kill a Blood Legion Legendary, you have obtained an additional War Merit reward: 5 million.]

[Combatants obtained EXP: 39600000]

Following the system notification.

The sky was instantly filled with a rich blood color, and a rain of blood poured down.

This meant that another Blood Legion Legendary had fallen!

After this Legendary died, it also turned into a pool of blood and dissipated in mid-air.

And where it died, a massive black crystal, a few drops of pure blood, and several glowing shards dropped down!

Before they could react, Sarah had already swept over like a whirlwind, gathering all the dropped items into her backpack.

Only then did the crowd of Legendary powerhouses on the field react.

"Damn it! This Otherworld Lord killed Stain!"

"Hateful guy, I want him dead!!!"

Surges of monstrous rage emerged!

Deep, bottomless cracks appeared on the ground for hundreds of kilometers below, as if even the heavens and earth could not withstand the fury of so many powerhouses!

The Blood Commander, that Demigod-level powerhouse, actually cut off the teleportation channel right then and there.

His eyes burned with crazy killing intent, and his voice exploded like thunder.

"Everyone, attack with full force!"

"I want to kill this brat!"

"Boom!"

Terrifying blood energy rose up, as if it wanted to tear the sky apart!

All the Blood Legion Legendaries entered a berserk state, their auras striking like a raging storm, suffocating everyone!

Meanwhile, Yōulán Queen and the others also reacted, each taking measures.

They each unleashed their own methods, attempting to block the Blood Legion's attack.

Various terrifying energies collided, forming a chaotic scene.

However, under the attack of this group of berserk Blood Legion Legendaries, the defensive line formed by Yōulán Queen, Gray Mist King, and the others could not even last a second before being torn apart!

"Pfft! Boom!"

The six Legendary powerhouses retreated instantly, suffering varying degrees of injuries.

Watching as that group of crazy Blood Legion members was about to charge over.

Just then, a heaven-shocking sword aura once again streaked through the crowd at a speed faster than lightning.

"Swish!!"

This sword strike carried even more terrifying power, hitting four Blood Legion Legendary powerhouses on the spot.

Just like the two Legendaries who had taken the slash before, cracks first appeared on their bodies, and then with a 'clatter', they split in two in mid-air!

The four Legendaries disintegrated simultaneously, then recovered at the fastest speed.

Their eyes still held a trace of fear, as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.

If not for the fact that they all possessed resurrection abilities, the old king's sword strike just now would have caused all four of these Legendaries to fall!

Meanwhile, the other Legendaries also stopped, ceasing their attacks.

The old king's sword strike made them recall the fear in their hearts once again!

However, these Legendary powerhouses stopped their attacks, but that didn't mean the Demigods didn't make a move.

The Blood Commander struck like a ghost, his target clearly being Cao Xing, who was surrounded by the crowd below!

A terrifying sense of oppression descended.

At this moment, Cao Xing also looked solemn, his thoughts spinning rapidly in his mind, considering how to block the Demigod's attack!

Just then, the Lizardman Chieftain and the old king had already reacted, both powerful figures blocking in front of Cao Xing!

And one opened its blood-stained maw, while the other raised the kingdom's holy sword.

As long as this Blood Commander dared to come over, he would face a joint strike from the two.

Under these circumstances, even this Demigod couldn't help but stop.

His eyes filled with rage, and he shouted: "Old geezers, get out of my way!"

"Even if you can unleash nine sword strikes, you can only kill me once at most!"

"And you will definitely die!"

"This guy killed our Blood Legion Legendary; there must be an explanation!"

At this time, the old king and the Lizardman Chieftain couldn't help but feel a headache.

No one expected that the Blood Legion had already compromised and was preparing to leave first.

But Cao Xing suddenly struck, taking out another one of their Legendaries.

This had completely enraged the other side!

But they also knew that in front of such mortal enemies, one shouldn't expect the other side to talk about benevolence or morality.

Let alone Cao Xing, even if the old king had the chance, he would definitely strike without hesitation.

The old king did not back down, retorting: "What kind of explanation do you want?"

"We are enemies to begin with; if they are slain, they are slain. What is there to say about dying on the battlefield?"

"If you aren't convinced, then come and fight us to the death. Even if I die at your hands, that's just me being inferior in skill."

The Blood Legion Demigod was furious, "Very well, then let's fight to the death!"

"The Blood Legion does not accept threats from anyone!"

"Today, even if I risk dying once, I will slay you all!"

The other Blood Legion Myriarchs shouted simultaneously.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The shouts shot straight into the clouds, as if they wanted to shatter the heavens and earth.

The atmosphere of the entire battlefield was pushed to the peak, as the Blood Legion Myriarchs erupted with terrifying auras, preparing to launch the final attack.

The millions of civilians hiding in the city below felt like the apocalypse had arrived under the cover of this aura, curling up in corners and not daring to make any moves.

However, the Watchers leader on the side appeared very calm.

He stood in place, looking at the old king with cold eyes, and spoke slowly:

"Eldon, I will give you a choice now."

"Hand over this human brat, and hand over your demigod artifact, and I will let you leave."

Before he could say the next sentence, the Blood Commander turned around, staring at the Watchers leader with a pair of blood-red eyes.

"No, this bunch of guys has already angered me!"

"No one is allowed to leave today!"

Monstrous killing intent enveloped all the Demigods and Legendaries on the field!

The Watchers leader remained calm, "Aetius, on the battlefield, I hope you had better listen to me."

"Whatever I say, you just need to do it; you cannot refute me."

"Do you understand?"

His tone carried a faint trace of killing intent, and his gaze toward the Blood Commander also contained a threat.

They were both Demigod-level powerhouses, but the Blood Commander, when facing the Watchers leader, completely lacked the dominance he showed when facing others.

Although he felt incredibly stifled in his heart, the Blood Commander finally just snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The Watchers leader continued: "Eldon, I can guarantee that you will leave safely, and we will not attack your Ice Crystal Kingdom in the short term."

"You should know that I am a person who keeps his promises."

"As for the future, if we meet again on the battlefield, then we will rely on our own abilities."

After hearing this, the old king sneered immediately, his eyes full of disdain!

"Bullshit! You want me to betray my allies?"

"I, Eldon, have lived for so many years, and I have never done such a treacherous thing."

The Watchers leader's eyes gradually turned cold, and his tone also carried a bit more threat.

"Eldon, you know that this is the only chance."

"Hand over Cao Xing, and you still have a glimmer of hope for survival."

"If you insist on resisting, then not only will he die today, but your Four Kingdoms will also be completely destroyed!"

Speaking of this, his gaze turned to Yōulán Queen, Gray Mist King, and Kunad War King on the side.

"Even if Eldon is stubborn, do you also want to follow him in this folly?"

Hearing this, Cao Xing knew he had to stand up!

"Damn it, look at how arrogant you are!"

"Come on, at worst, we'll just start the final battle ahead of schedule!"

"Before I die, I will at least take one of your Demigods with me!"

He immediately took out all the Divine Power Shards, preparing to let Malenia absorb them so she could reach Legendary combat power.

At the same time, he took out the Lizardman statue with his other hand, ready to unleash the [Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor] at any moment.

Isabelle held her staff, emitting infinite light, like a Goddess of Light!

At this moment, the momentum of Cao Xing's side exploded!

The Blood Commander sneered, his eyes filled with disdain: "A mere tenth-rank, yet you dare to boast about taking away a Demigod!"

"If we have to make some sacrifices, as long as we can wipe you out, it will be worth it!"

A vast, deep blue aura rose from the two women of the Orchid Kingdom.

"Heh, I never agreed to betraying our allies to exchange for a chance at survival,"

"Since you want to fight, then let's fight to the death!"

"Although the Orchid Kingdom is mostly composed of women, we have never backed down on the battlefield!"

As she spoke, the two women, one old and one young, erupted with power simultaneously, blooming like two orchids in the cold wind, their auras beginning to rise crazily!

In the blink of an eye, they reached the level of the Lizardman Chieftain at the beginning—that is, High-level Legendary!

Beside them, the four Legendaries from the Gray Mist King and the Kunad War King did not show any weakness.

"You want us to hand over our allies? How little do you think of us?"

"Rather than lingering on in a desperate state, we might as well fight to the bitter end!"

"I'd like to see how many Legendaries you have left after a fight to the death with us!"

"When people from the Human Empire arrive, how will you stop them!"

As they spoke, these four Legendaries unleashed their full power!

A terrifying aura swept across the entire world like a tidal wave!

At this moment, it wasn't just the capital city of the Weilun Kingdom.

Everything within a radius of thousands of kilometers felt this vast aura.

All birds, beasts, fish, and insects trembled under the shroud of this terrifying aura, not daring to make any movement.

Even they could sense that a terrifying battle was about to erupt!

At this moment, Cao Xing had eight Legendaries and one Demigod on his side.

In terms of momentum, they actually faintly suppressed the Blood Legion and the Watchers.

Although everyone was not prepared for a fight to the death.

But as mentioned before.

Since they would have to fight sooner or later, they might as well start the decisive battle now!

Otherwise, once the Blood Legion summoned more Legendaries, they would have even less of a chance.

Seeing them so aggressive, with the determination to fight to the bitter end.

The Watchers and the Blood Legion became somewhat hesitant.

After all, what the Kunad War King said was the truth.

Even if they could kill all the Legendaries and the Demigod here, the Blood Legion would definitely lose several more Legendaries, or perhaps even be completely wiped out.

Not to mention, the old King's final sword strike could kill a Demigod!

After this battle, the strength of the Watchers and the Blood Legion would definitely be depleted.

This would cause great uncertainty for their subsequent plans.

No one struck immediately.

Even though the powerhouses of the Blood Legion wished they could tear Cao Xing apart immediately, they dared not act rashly at this moment.

The atmosphere became increasingly oppressive, and the blood color in the sky was almost solidifying!

Just then, Cao Xing asked first: "Are you going to fight or not?"

"I'm prepared to take a Demigod down with me today."

"If you want to fight, hurry up!"

Cao Xing had used all his trump cards, and combined with [Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor], he had a high probability of severely injuring a Demigod.

If he added the old King's Kingdom Holy Sword, he would definitely be able to kill a Demigod on the spot!

By then, the other side would only have one Demigod left, and the Lizardman Chieftain would be able to withstand the pressure.

Then it would be the battlefield for the Legendaries.

Even if the opponent had more numbers, in a life-and-death struggle, the outcome was still uncertain.

Facing Cao Xing's question, pairs of red eyes looked over, filled with monstrous killing intent!

However, they still dared not make a move.

A moment later, the leader of the Watchers seemed to gradually calm down.

He waved his hand, signaling the other Watcher Legendaries to withdraw their auras.

Seeing this, the Blood Legion understood that the Watchers did not want to start the decisive battle now.

Without the support of the Watchers, relying solely on the power of the Blood Legion, they were even less likely to be a match for Cao Xing's side.

Therefore, this battle could no longer happen.

The Blood Commander took a deep look at Cao Xing, as if trying to etch his appearance into his mind.

The leader of the Watchers said in a low voice: "Cao Xing, you have managed to escape certain death time and time again; you are truly a person blessed with great fortune,"

"However, you have offended too many powerful people. Even if you can escape this calamity today, you will still find it hard to avoid death in the future."

"During this period of rule instability, some existences beyond your imagination will descend upon this world."

"At that time, I won't need to do anything, and you will have no place to be buried."

Cao Xing knew who these existences were.

The Nightmare God Démǔ, and guys like the God of Light.

"Then let's wait until they come out. A bunch of guys who have lost their divinity—if they dare to come and cause me trouble, I'll take them down all the same!"

After a pause, Cao Xing asked again: "Are you still not fighting? If not, get lost quickly, so you don't stay here and be an eyesore."

Everyone looked at Cao Xing with strange expressions.

An Otherworld Lord from another world was actually scolding so many Demigods and Legendaries on the field; it was simply like a fantasy story.

Even the Legendaries from the Blood Legion were filled with rage at this moment!

But they couldn't do anything about Cao Xing; after all, if they had really dared to start a war, they would have done so long ago.

For a moment, these Legendaries felt extremely stifled.

Especially the Blood Commander, who couldn't help but tremble when seeing Cao Xing's arrogant demeanor!

He turned around directly, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would lose his sanity from being angered by this human brat!

"Let's go!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the blood-colored portal appeared again.

Then, the Legendaries of the Watchers and the Blood Legion entered the portal one after another.

However, this time the Demigod-level leader of the Watchers walked at the very back, seemingly still guarding against a surprise attack from Cao Xing.

But obviously, he was overthinking it.

The [Moon God Sealing Orb] could only be used once in a short period, and Cao Xing no longer had the means to control Legendaries.

Until they all entered the portal, the blood-colored portal completely disappeared from the spot.

However, the Lizardman Chieftain, the old King, and the others still did not relax.

They maintained their vigilance for about half a minute before gradually letting out a sigh of relief.

On the field, the terrifying auras of the eight Legendaries and one Demigod quickly subsided.

For a moment, they looked at each other, their eyes filled with emotion.

The dwarf Legendary from the Gray Mist King laughed: "I was truly prepared to risk my life just now, but these guys actually ran away. It seems my reputation from when I was young scared them."

Beside him, the Kunad War King said speechlessly: "Gray, everyone knows that you, old man, value your life the most, and you have endless tricks up your sleeve."

"I reckon that even if we all died, you, old man, would probably pop up somewhere after a while."

The Yōulán Queen snorted coldly: "You wasted one of my Yōulán Flowers; otherwise, I would have definitely taken a Legendary with me today!"

"Haha, Shia, your speech just now was quite passionate. Teach me next time," the Kunad War King teased.

The Yōulán Queen turned her head and stared at him with those deep pupils. "When you reach Demigod-level, then come and talk to me about this."

"Then forget it. I probably have no hope in this lifetime."

"Hmph—useless."

These Legendaries laughed and scolded each other.

In daily life, they are all rulers of their kingdoms, standing at the pinnacle of power.

In private, they associate as peers, and their relationships are decent.

And because of the life-and-death battle just now, their relationships became a bit closer.

The old King sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect so many unexpected incidents to occur during this operation."

Beside him, the former King of the Gray Mist King also showed some worry on his face, "Yes, we let the Blood Legion descend a few days early this time, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing—"

Hearing this, the Yōulán Queen on the side said indifferently: "Of course it's a good thing."

"Do you think the Blood Legion wouldn't have descended if we hadn't carried out this operation?"

"The outcome is the same, and it would only give them more ample preparation."

"At the very least, our operation this time was relatively very successful; we took out so many of their Legendaries and heroes, significantly weakening their strength."

"Otherwise, the pressure would be even greater when we face both the Watchers and the Blood Legion at the same time."

Everyone nodded, expressing their approval of the Yōulán Queen's words.

In this operation, they accumulated a total of five Legendaries and eight heroes killed.

It goes without saying what a terrifying number this is.

The Watchers have accumulated so many years, and they only have a total of 13 Legendaries.

Counting the Crow Elder previously killed by Cao Xing, they have almost lost half of them.

Thinking of this, the Legendaries on the field looked at the young man below with emotion.

Because among them, two Legendaries and eight heroes were all killed by him.

The other two Legendaries exhausted their lives because they used the [Blood Burning] state themselves.

Only one of the Legendaries was killed by the old King.

In other words, the battle achievements of so many of them combined were not even as high as this Otherworld Lord.
