'Fuck! Why has he beco so strong?!' He cursed inwardly.
He could see Max had only used that grayish energy to simply reinforce his punch, nothing more, but he still managed to exhaust one-third of the barrier's energy. This ant he could shatter it with just two more punches.
He had gained over 200,000 war rits until now and hadn't tried to save them when he activated it, aning the barrier was as strong as a defensive spell cast by a mid-stage King mage, and he had thought Max wouldn't be able to do anything to him for a while, giving him ti to either use his trump card or attract the human emperors' attention. Once he told them his identity, they definitely wouldn't let Max kill him; however, now it seed he wouldn't be able to do either.
After a few monts, Max suppressed his surprised, deciding to ask Martha or soone else who knew about how he was able to activate this barrier with his rit plate. With his bloodline sense, he could tell he only needed to strike it with the sa force just two or three tis and the barrier would crumble. Therefore, without wasting any ti, he clenched his fist, ready to strike again.
Seeing this, Oliver hurriedly said, "Wait! If you break this—"
Bang!
Max punched the barrier, causing it to ripple. Then, as he pulled his hand back and covered his fist with a bit more Death Energy, he asked, "What will happen if I break it?"
Oliver's face was dark. Not only the fact that he was afraid of him made him feel angry and disgusted, but his blatant disregard also made him feel humiliated.
Even though he could see Max didn't care what knowing the consequences of breaking the barrier was and was going to shatter it, he still gritted his teeth and said, "This barrier is the war temple's protection granted to people of value against betrayal by fellow humans. Once you break it, the emperors will investigate and punish—"
BANG!
Once again, before he could finish speaking, Max punched as hard as he could. The barrier rippled violently before shattering, the energy dispersing in the air.
Swoosh!
"Let them punish then." Max sneered and appeared in front of Oliver, his other hand punching toward his head.
However, right then…
"HOW DARING!"
A shout rang in his head, disorienting him. At the sa ti, the death energy from his fist was forcefully dispersed by an overwhelming force, and even his physical strength seed to be sapped away because his punch struck true but didn't even as much as bruise Oliver.
Thud!
Although Oliver didn't understand why Max suddenly beca powerful and dazed, he didn't hesitate to deliver a hard punch to his gut, sending him flying back before taking out a three-inch-long ice dagger and starting to channel his ice elental mana into it, a ruthless expression on his face.
Just then, however…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of many people flying rapidly filled the atmosphere, and he turned around to look. Imdiately, his eyes shone with delight and relief, and he stopped channeling his mana before putting the ice dagger back into his spatial ring.
…
A few monts earlier…
"Hmm?" High in the sky, the emperors' noticed sothing and turned their heads in the direction of the Green Leaf. Imdiately, their expressions changed. While the human emperors' eyes lit up with relief and joy, the demon emperors' expressions turned as dark as they could get.
"Fuck! Why did they co so soon?" Yshoy cursed openly, revealing his frustration.
Vigil glanced at Empress Luen, who sighed and said through her divine sense, [Give the retreat order. We will fight again after our reinforcents co.]
Vigil nodded, his face expressionless as his aura burst out and broke the isolation barrier.
"Retreat!"
…
"Retreat!"
As his voice thundered, all the demons stopped battling or resting, and perplexed, they hurriedly started retreating.
The humans were equally perplexed by the sudden order of retreat, but more than that, they were relieved, especially those who were about to be killed.
They simply watched the demons retreat, not wanting to take advantage of the situation.
"Our reinforcents from the central plains are here!"
Even after this voice sounded, informing them of the reason why the demons were retreating, save for so, most stayed put.
"We survived!" Soone shouted, feeling overly emotional. This person, like most others, had thought he would die today. So, seeing he had survived, he couldn't help but beco emotional.
"We survived!" Soone near him echoed his sentint in a loud voice, and then everyone started chanting it.
"We survived!"
"We survived!"
"We…"
…
Swoosh!
Once the order of retreat sounded, Leo imdiately flew over and landed beside Max, who was still lying on the ground, disoriented, and glared cautiously at Oliver, who was walking over, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"The battles are over. You should back away now." He said in a deep voice.
"Heh!"
Oliver sneered and suddenly disappeared before appearing in front of him, his hand already gripping Leo's neck.
"How are you to order , peasant?!"
Saying this, he was about to break his neck and freeze his brain when a dense and chilling killing intent enveloped him.
Oliver felt his heart stop and looked down, only to see Max staring back at him.
Shua!
Without any hesitation, he released Leo and retreated as fast as he could, his face pale and a terrified look in his eyes.
Max slowly stood up, a terrifyingly calm expression on his face as he stared at Oliver, who had already retreated over hundreds of ters, for a few seconds, before moving his gaze away from him to look at Leo.
"You alright?"
Gulp!
Leo's face was pale just like Oliver's as he stared at Max in horror. Hearing his question, he heavily shook his head, "Sir Overlord… your killing intent…"
"Hmm?" Max frowned slightly before reining his killing intent in.
Thud!
Ha! Ha!
As it disappeared, Leo fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Whoa! That was… too terrifying." Leo said, his heart still palpitating. He had been fighting alongside him for several hours and had witnessed his killing intent before, but compared to what he just felt, it was extrely subdued. He couldn't help but wonder what Oliver did that made him so furious.
Max ignored him and looked in the distance, watching dozens of people flying over; his gaze locked on the five people wearing pure white robes.
