At the foot of Jueluo Peak.
Jiang Chen and Zai Lun rushed to the base of the mountain.
At this mont, the battle at the foot of the mountain was in full swing and had reached a fever pitch.
The mbers of the Soul Devouring Group realized they had been ambushed and were trying their best to break out, while Jiang Chen’s brothers and the Huangluo Clan were determined to keep all the mbers of the Soul Devouring Group from leaving. Both sides started fighting fiercely right from the get-go!
"The situation is grim!" Zai Lun’s presence covered the entire battlefield, his brows deeply furrowed.
Jiang Chen nodded with a grave expression, his brow also tightly knitted.
He had anticipated that the Soul Devouring Group would deploy their elite forces, but certainly not in large numbers, as larger groups would be more likely to expose themselves.
Yet even the deploynt of their elite forces alone was enough to shock Jiang Chen!
At the base of the mountain, there were only about a hundred mbers of the Soul Devouring Group, yet all of them were warriors of the Venerable Realm, with dozens at the peak of the Venerable Realm!
This put Jiang Chen’s side at a disadvantage from the start of the battle!
The Dragon Fla rcenary Group, Yichen Security Company, the Chixiao Sect, along with the Five Great Martial Arts Families by the river and the reclusive First Family, that is, the Huangluo Clan which is the Fla Dragon’s premier martial arts family—such a formidable force was actually unable to stop all mbers of the Soul Devouring Group!
Jiang Chen felt compelled to reassess the power of the Soul Devouring Group!
The group’s move against the Huangluo Clan this ti was certainly not an all-out effort. At most, they would have deployed a third of their people, yet this third of their elite managed to keep half of the Fla Dragon’s martial forces busy and even seed to have the upper hand.
If the Soul Devouring Group were to co out in full force, could the Fla Dragon withstand them?
Sigh!
Taking a deep breath, a cold glint flashed across Jiang Chen’s eyes as he suddenly shouted, "All those below Semi Venerable level, withdraw from the fray! Chixiao Sect, the Five Great Martial Arts Families, and the Huangluo Clan, block all the enemies! Dragon Fla, Yichen, and the others, form the array to hold with the Battle Array! Our reinforcents will arrive soon, everyone hold on!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Whirr!
The group quickly began to maneuver, with each power’s Semi Venerable and higher ranked individuals charging forward, engaging in close combat with the Soul Devouring Group, giving those of a lower realm a chance to exit the battle.
"Stay where you are!"
"Don’t let these low realm individuals leave, otherwise it will be even more difficult for us!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Buzz! Buzz!
Majestic auras soared into the sky as roars and the thunderous sounds of battle filled the air.
The Soul Devouring Group tenaciously entangled those below the Semi Venerable Realm level.
They were aware that with these individuals present, Jiang Chen’s side wouldn’t be able to unleash their full attacking potential. If they allowed these lower realm individuals to leave, then Jiang Chen’s side could attack without restraint. Therefore, the Soul Devouring Group didn’t imdiately kill the lower realm individuals, but instead surrounded them, preventing them from breaking free from the battle!
Jiang Chen’s eyes shifted, revealing a sense of urgency. If this continued, they would have no choice but to take drastic asures.
But if they did that, then those lower realm brothers might...
"Descendants of the Royal Realm Jueluo Clan!"
Zai Lun was also aware of the unfavorable turn of the battle and suddenly bellowed, "These brothers have co for the life-or-death struggle of our Royal Realm Jueluo Clan. We cannot let them sacrifice in vain. My clansn, with our lives, let’s pave a path for our brothers!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
mbers of the Royal Realm Jueluo Clan shouted aloud, as their eyes turned blood-red.
"Kill!"
"Brothers, you retreat first!"
"Brothers from other forces, follow Mr. Jiang’s orders and leave quickly, if you survive, please look after my Huangluo Clan!"
"Make a road for our brothers!"
A wave of cries sounding like they were ready to et death echoed as the mbers of the Jueluo Clan at levels below the Venerable Realm abandoned their defense and charged directly at the mbers of the Soul Devouring Group!
"Kill! Take all these people down!" The mbers of the Soul Devouring Group’s faces changed drastically as they hastily shouted.
At that mont, the nurical disadvantage of the Soul Devouring Group beca painfully evident.
As many mbers of the Huangluo Clan fearlessly rushed towards them, blocking their attacks with their own bodies, they were unable to kill all the mbers of the Huangluo Clan imdiately, giving Jiang Chen’s lower-ranked people ti to escape!
People of lower ranks on Jiang Chen’s side watched the Huangluo Clan mbers in shock, disbelief in their eyes!
"From today forth! The Huangluo Clan will share life and death with , Jiang Chen. As long as a brother of mine is alive, the Huangluo Clan shall endure!"
Jiang Chen exclaid with excitent and then his voice sharply turned cold as he roared, "What the hell are you staring at? Do you want the brothers from the Huangluo Clan to die here in vain? Those of lower rank, get the hell out of here!"
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted in response.
In this battle, Jiang Chen had summoned people with at least a Semi Innate level, but he never expected that the people from the Soul Devouring Group would arrive with at least the Venerable level, rendering the Innate level practically useless!
Now the Huangluo people began to fight desperately. If Jiang Chen’s side did not hurry to retreat, then the Huangluo people’s sacrifice would be in vain.
Jiang Chen’s brothers were all hot-blooded n. Seeing the Huangluo Clan people fight so desperately, so wanted to rush up and fight to the death with them.
But Jiang Chen’s final roar awoke them, making them realize that charging in would not only an a futile death but would also prevent their higher-ranked people from exerting their full strength!
Boom!
A rumbling sound resounded, causing everyone to glance and shudder!
A Venerable Realm powerhouse from the Dragon Fla rcenary Corps, in his attempt to help a few Innate Grandmasters from Long Yan to retreat, was directly blown into pieces by the enemy!
Witnessing this scene, many of the lower-ranked people hesitated no more and turned to withdraw, not bothering to look back to see if enemy attacks were coming.
With brothers by our side safeguarding our retreat, we can leave with peace of mind. Even if the enemy’s attack strikes us, it would not matter; our brothers will avenge us. What have we to fear? By leaving as quickly as possible, that is the best help we can give to our brothers!
At that mont, many iron-hearted n shed tears.
So cried grievous tears for the sacrifice of their brothers, but more were tears of regret and fury, regretting not training hard enough on normal days, hating their own strength for not even being able to qualify to fight desperately against the enemy!
"Go to hell, all of you!"
Jiang Chen’s loud shout rang out as his figure flashed next to Yan Hu.
He drew out the Blood Saber from the staff carried on Yan Hu’s back and viciously swung it at a Venerable powerhouse from the Soul Devour Group.
