Chapter 115: Zhu Jiu Is Impossible to Resist! Seventh Rank!
Zhu Jiu?
No. That was only one of his eyes.
Ye Ze stared intently at the blood-red vertical pupil in the heavens, feeling as though the fiendish aura of the entire world was spreading. It was the aura of the Abyss!
This was completely different from what he rembered. He had originally thought Zhu Jiu was related to the Candle Dragon...But the Candle Dragon’s eye, when opened, turned night into day and was said to illuminate even the Ninefold Netherworld.
This blood-red vertical pupil in the sky, however, filled the world with endless darkness the mont it opened, shrouding the entire land in Abyssal fiendish aura!
Every place its gaze touched was covered in a layer of dark violet fiendish energy, and the Fiends there received an enormous boost in strength!
Could this be the Abyss’s corruption?
That was truly terrifying.
For a mont, whether it was because of that terrifying blood-red pupil in the sky or the Fiends wrapped in darkness below, it felt as though helplessness and despair had settled over Linyuan City.
Looking up at that eye in the heavens, even the battle-hardened regints of the Demon Suppression Army fell silent.
They had never seen an ability this outrageous before!
It felt like mortals trying to stand against a demon god.
“What’s there to fear!” At that mont, Chang Zhengping, as regint commander, suddenly let out a roar.
“No matter what happens, we do what we’re supposed to do!”
Those words seed to roar away the confusion and despair within the Zhubei Regint of the Demon Suppression Army.
When faced with a desperate situation, hesitation was useless, and panic was useless. Only forward movent mattered.
Soon after, the order to continue advancing was given. With Demon King Ao no longer blocking the road, the Zhubei Regint imdiately moved toward the Contaminated Land defense line. Their mission was to rebuild the defenses.
As for Ye Ze, he decisively headed into Linyuan City.
If possible, he would rather preserve Linyuan City.
But the mont he entered through the north gate of Linyuan City, he found the city devoid of all human presence, ruined everywhere, and scarred beyond recognition!
It was even more tragic than the ti Demon King Mirage had broken into the city.
Evacuating the people of Linyuan City had clearly been a wise decision, because in such a short ti, the Fiends had already pushed into the city!
Suddenly, two explosive sounds rang out as two Demon Kings appeared ahead.
One had the head of a bull and the body of a man, with a ten-ter-tall fra like an iron tower.
The other was ghostlike, with the head of a horse and the body of a man, wielding a steel fork.
“What kind of monsters are these? Ox-Head and Horse-Face?”
Ye Ze imdiately summoned the Fox Immortal and Panda.
And these were not ordinary Demon Kings either. They had already been empowered by Zhu Jiu’s aura from above, and their strength was extraordinary.
Trying to deal with both of them using his own normal strength would definitely not be enough.
But the problem was that after fighting the enemy sixth-ranks and Demon King Ao, the Spiritual Energy consud by Samadhi True Fire had not yet recovered. At the mont, Ye Ze and the Fox Immortal together only had enough left for one more use of Samadhi True Fire.
Ye Ze wanted to save that chance for Zhu Jiu.
After all, that was the real key to deciding the battlefield.
“Looks like I’ll have to pull out the spear?”
That was what Ye Ze was thinking when a sharp voice suddenly rang out by his ear:
“Kid, get out of here! It’s not your turn to be on the battlefield yet!”
As the words fell, a white-robed old man drifted in and charged alone at the two Demon Kings.
His punches were astonishing, and he actually fought the two Demon Kings alone without falling behind!
Once Ye Ze got a clear look at the newcor, he was stunned. “Dean!?”
Ye Ze had only ever seen this white-robed old man in the photograph hanging on the wall at the War Academy.
The Dean of the War Academy, Zhou Tianya.
Though he had rarely appeared at the War Academy despite being the Dean, wandering all year long from place to place instead, plenty of legends still surrounded him.
An old-generation fifth-rank Boxer, said to be the strongest person below the sixth rank!
Judging from the fact that he was now single-handedly fighting two Demon Kings, his strength was clearly not to be underestimated!
“Oh? So you’re a student of the War Academy?” Dean Zhou Tianya said calmly and with complete ease. “Then as a high school student, you have even less business showing up at the front-line battlefield!”
“Do you have any idea how dangerous it is here?”
Ye Ze could not help falling silent, though he did not argue back. With the Dean helping him hold off the Demon Kings, he could head straight for the main battlefield where Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu was.
“All right, Dean. Then I’ll go first.”
The mont the words left his mouth, Ye Ze was just about to leave.
Then suddenly—a sense of danger unlike anything before covered his entire body!
Ye Ze’s pupils contracted sharply. Almost on instinct, he copied Shadow ld, recalled the Fox Immortal and Panda, and instantly turned into a shadow to save his life!
In the next mont, a blood-red Yin Thunder descended from the vertical pupil in the sky, radiating an utterly terrifying aura!
Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu had made his move!
The Yin Thunder struck the ground, crushing down from the heavens, and its terrible force swept through the surrounding area.
“What!?” Dean Zhou Tianya’s expression changed drastically.
Along with a violent roar, the buildings around the north gate of Linyuan City, including the city wall itself, were reduced to ruins in an instant.
The old man in white was left behind as a corpse upon the rubble.
Dean Zhou Tianya was dead.
The Ox-Head and Horse-Face Demon Kings who had been fighting Zhou Tianya were dead as well.
Ye Ze, in shadow form, felt his scalp go numb.
The Dean... had died just like that!?
The strongest person below the sixth rank had actually been killed in one strike from Zhu Jiu. No, it was probably just a casual strike!
He had never expected that the first ti he saw the Dean of his academy would also be the last.
Still, it was hard to say whether the two Demon Kings had truly died, because Ye Ze had not found any Origin Fragnts from them at all.
Ye Ze abruptly turned his head.
Beside the now-ruined gate of Linyuan City, Tong Mo, Shi Qing, and seven other sixth-ranks were besieging Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu.
Calling it a siege was not quite accurate. Holding him off was a better way to put it.
China’s nine sixth-rank powerhouses, relying on class synergy and various one-use legendary items, were still being steadily pushed back.
“Damn it, if I don’t get back up now, this is really over!”
That was not said by Ye Ze. It ca from Wan Feipeng, who had just walked out of a temporary dical room within the city.
“Don’t be reckless, you’re still heavily injured!” Wu Ming and the healers hurriedly tried to stop him.
“If it really cos down to it, we still have the Demon Suppression Army’s battle armor corps and the fifth-rank elite squads on standby.”
“How could those people possibly stop Zhu Jiu?” Wan Feipeng said through clenched teeth.
Although he said that, there was really only one option left. If Zhu Jiu could not be stopped, the entire East China Region might fall.
At that mont, Ye Ze spotted Wan Feipeng and rushed over.
Before using Samadhi True Fire, the very least he had to do was make sure China’s fighting force could barely hold the line against Zhu Jiu.
“Ye Ze? Why are you here!?” Wan Feipeng and Wu Ming were both shocked.
Before the two of them could even speak and tell Ye Ze to return to a safe area, Ye Ze cut in first:
“Forget the nonsense!”
“Eat this first, then go hold Zhu Jiu back!”
While everyone was still stunned by Ye Ze’s tone, he pulled out the Seventh-Rank Advancent Pill he had obtained from the Secret Realm and tossed it to Wan Feipeng.
“This is... holy shit!!!”
Wan Feipeng and Wu Ming cried out in unison, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.
A sixth-rank had no advancent quest to complete, and the Seventh-Rank Advancent Pill was almost the only way to reach the seventh rank right now.
“You actually got it after all!!!”
“Damn, Ye Ze! If we can hold the line today, then whatever you want, I’ll get it for you!”
To be fair, among sixth-ranks, only Wan Feipeng could say sothing like that with a straight face.
Was it really getting it, though... and not just stealing it? Wu Ming shot Wan Feipeng a strange look.
Still, that did nothing to dampen their excitent.
This was a Seventh-Rank Advancent Pill. Calling it priceless would not be the slightest exaggeration. What could it not be traded for?
The leap from sixth rank to seventh rank was a massive threshold. Once crossed, the increase in strength would be enormous!
And it would make him the first seventh-rank in the world!
Wan Feipeng swallowed it in one gulp. His state of heavy injury and weakness vanished, while a violent aura suddenly surged upward!
The power of a seventh-rank Hunter!
Moreover, because Wan Feipeng had accumulated a great deal of experience while still at the sixth rank, his level had now broken through to level 75!
“Hahaha! So this is the seventh rank! I’m going to fight the Fiend Sovereign!”
Wan Feipeng’s spirit soared to the heavens. Excited, he bumped fists with Ye Ze. “Wait for to co back!”
The mont the words fell, he shot out like a green storm, his aura soaring skyward as he charged straight at Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu.
Seeing that, Wu Ming sighed with endless emotion. “Ye Ze, this ti we really owe it all to you...”
Before he could finish, a blast rang out from the battlefield.
Wan Feipeng’s mighty figure, still surging with overwhelming montum, was sent flying again after a single exchange with Zhu Jiu.
Wu Ming: “...”
Ye Ze: “...”
