Chapter 1414 - 1341: Fierce Battle
Chen Liangce smiled widely, "Array Masters and Diviners have something in common. I’m just more sensitive to danger, hehe."
Ye Guichen gave Chen Liangce a sideways glance.
Through the brief encounter, Ye Guichen sensed that the three were quite talented.
If he could keep them by his side in the future, many things would be much easier.
Three strong figures at the Foundation Establishment Peak.
Just the thought is exhilarating.
"Let’s go. Take me to the place where the barbarians reside!" Ye Guichen waved his hand and instructed.
Besides Feng Zhuo and the other two who had faced off with Ye Guichen, everyone else exchanged puzzled looks.
Qin Muge was incredibly excited, "Brother Ye, as far as I know, ever since the Barbarian Demon Arena was established, no one has dared to trouble the barbarians voluntarily. Hehe, you’re the first. If you really manage to deal with the barbarians this time, my father will definitely be very pleased. Then, perhaps he can appoint you as the Great General for an expedition to slay the barbarian demons."
Ye Guichen looked at the naive Qin Muge and sighed softly.
This guy’s personality is too simple; he should not have been born into a royal family.
As it stands, Qin Cangqiong probably doesn’t plan to let him leave.
As for how to get out of this Barbarian Demon Arena, he’ll have to find a way himself.
Without saying much, Ye Guichen mounted the Four-eyed Dragon Tomb Wolf and had Feng Zhuo and the others lead the way, followed by over three hundred people, making a grand move towards the place where the barbarians lived.
Within a radius of fifty to sixty li, apart from the presence of some demonic beasts, it’s equivalent to having three factions claiming the territory.
Human cultivators, barbarians, evil people.
The three factions formed a delicate balance, constantly engaging in skirmishes, yet never in large-scale battles.
Because they all know if they fight to the death, it would be mutually destructive.
In such a case, everyone tacitly keeps up the surface balance.
Of course, if any human cultivator or barbarian or evil person is isolated, the other two species wouldn’t miss the chance if they found out.
So, for them, hunting each other is also a survival thrill.
Just like those three barbarians hunting that group of human cultivators and snatching away a woman, if Ye Guichen hadn’t appeared, they would surely have been wiped out entirely.
The group of over three hundred, including Ye Guichen, four Foundation Establishment Peak powerhouses, on their way to the barbarian residence, no demonic beast dared to approach.
And because of the sheer size, it alarmed both barbarian and evil people.
In a cave more than twenty li away from Ye Guichen’s group, the Snake Demon had already transformed into a beauty.
The beauty wore her hair in a high bun, her skin fair and radiant, like translucent porcelain.
She stepped out of the cave, looked at the demonic beasts outside, and slowly raised a hand, "Do you want to leave here?"
Most of those demonic beasts are semi-demonic in form.
There were wolves and jackals, almost every form of demonic beast, but most couldn’t transform like the Snake Demon.
They’re different from the White Fox Ye Guichen encountered before.
The White Fox actually possessed more human blood, but due to having a small portion of Demon Clan blood, once triggered, its temperament would become frenzied, even leading to a sudden burst of power, hence becoming more inclined to be an evil person.
In terms of combat capability, the White Fox and others only exerted power equivalent to a human Foundation Establishment Realm.
But the Snake Demon and the Demon Clan were different.
They evolved from actual demonic beasts, having experienced battles since childhood, and most had low intelligence.
Among the vast Demon Clan, the Snake Demon was the only one capable of fully transforming into a human form, while others transformed into semi-demonic forms.
Some had transformed into human heads, some into human legs, some into human hands.
It’s utterly diverse.
Demonic beasts have low intelligence, hence strength reigns supreme.
Since forming her Spiritual Sense, the Snake Demon had grown up entirely in this Barbarian Demon Arena.
Here, it’s akin to her home.
Yet, she yearned for the outside world, always longing to leave.
But the powerful array left her with no tricks that worked.
The Snake Demon had already despaired, feeling no hope of leaving in this lifetime, unexpectedly Qin Cangqiong suddenly approached her for a deal.
To kill a mere human cultivator, that’s easy.
The Snake Demon naturally didn’t think much, nor would she.
Killing is hunting.
Simple.
Seeing a Leopard Demon running over, the Snake Demon asked, "What’s going on?"
The Leopard Demon spoke human words, "Those human cultivators suddenly headed to the Barbarian Tribe, don’t know why."
"Going to the Barbarian Tribe? Do they want to die?" The Snake Demon was slightly surprised.
According to her understanding, although these human cultivators are all human, they are not harmonious with each other at all, fighting incessantly day and night.
Let alone cause trouble for the Barbarian Tribe, even self-preservation is an issue.
But, after all, there is a Golden Core realm expert guarding them. If faces aren’t completely torn, no one would engage in large-scale battles.
"Haha, whatever courage they have, let’s join the fun. Those barbarians have tough skin and meat, not tasty at all. Since those human cultivators are all coming, let’s go and have a good feast."
The Snake Demon opened its mouth, revealing a tongue over ten centimeters long, with a forked tip, looking extremely eerie at first glance.
Of course, the Snake Demon is a snake, so a forked tongue is normal.
There was no grand mobilization before the battle; the Snake Demon merely mentioned eating human flesh, causing the monsters to roar with excitement.
Then, led by the Leopard Demon, hundreds of monster beasts charged toward Ye Guichen and his group.
This Barbarian Demon Arena is not particularly large, with the three forces only separated by a few dozen miles.
To ordinary beasts, it might take some time to cover the distance.
But to these monster beasts that are capable of partial transformation, it’s only a matter of minutes.
As the Snake Demon and others rushed towards Ye Guichen, many beasts living nearby joined in.
When the group of monster beasts were only a few miles from Ye Guichen and his companions, there were already over a thousand wild beasts following behind.
The ground was trembling.
The roaring pierced the sky, reaching Ye Guichen and his group’s ears.
The Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf instinctively lowered its front paws, trembling.
Although the Four-eyed Dragon Tomb Wolf is powerful, it’s only a thin barrier away from being a spiritual beast.
Yet, facing so many powerful monster beasts, it still lacks a bit of readiness.
"What’s going on? Could it be that we’ve been discovered by the Demon Clan?"
Everyone’s expression changed drastically.
Chen Liangce took out three Copper Coins, tossed them into the air, reached out his left hand to catch them, then spread his hand open, and his face changed drastically: "This is bad, an ominous sign, an ominous sign!"
"Chen Liangce, what do you mean?" Feng Zhuo was upset. Hearing Chen Liangce speak such discouraging words, his eyes glared like copper bells, staring angrily at Chen Liangce.
Chen Liangce smiled bitterly, shaking the Copper Coins in his hand in front of Ye Guichen: "Look at this, it’s an ominous sign. We’re going to cause trouble with the barbarians, but the Demon Clan certainly won’t miss this opportunity. If we’re caught between the barbarians and the Demon Clan, we have no escape but death!"
Ye Guichen looked at the three Copper Coins and closed Chen Liangce’s hand: "I actually understand a bit about divination. Although this is a bad omen, there’s a saying that things turn around and the ominous becomes auspicious. Haha, I think this is a sign of great fortune!"
Speaking, Ye Guichen leaped into the air, landed at the treetop, and released the Immortal Slayer Sword, standing on it: "Everyone hide and don’t confront the Demon Clan head-on."
None of the human cultivators wished to confront the Demon Clan head-on. Previously intimidated by Ye Guichen’s power, they dared not move rashly, but now hearing Ye Guichen’s orders, they quickly hid like mice in the dark.
Only Qin Muge and the other three remained.
The four quickly joined Ye Guichen’s side.
Qin Muge furrowed his brow, worriedly asking, "Brother Ye, what exactly are you planning to do?"
"Haha, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that there’s a triad of forces, and since the Demon Clan has acted, we’ll use their hand to let the barbarians suffer mutual destruction. Isn’t that wonderful?"
"How is that possible? Although the barbarians are simple-minded and robust, they can still understand the situation! Why would they tangle with the Demon Clan? They’re more likely to watch the commotion and seize the opportunity to strike at us!"
Chen Liangce was full of anxiety.
Ye Guichen smiled slightly, teasingly asking, "If the Barbarian Leader suddenly dies, what would the barbarians’ reaction be?"
"Naturally, they’ll elect a new Barbarian Leader, what else could happen?" Chen Liangce replied.
Ye Guichen shook his head: "Haha, not necessarily. If the Barbarian Leader suddenly dies, and the Demon Clan happens to appear nearby, the barbarians will definitely blame the Demon Clan. Then, how could they sit idly by and let the Demon Clan oppress them?"
Qin Muge and the others grew more confused as they listened: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I intend to first lead the Demon Clan to the barbarians’ location, then find a way to kill the Barbarian Leader, letting them turn on each other so we can reap the rewards," Ye Guichen’s lips curled cunningly, like an old man fishing.
Qin Muge and the others widened their eyes.
Then shook their heads vigorously.
"Impossible!"
"Exactly, how is this possible!"
"The Demon Clan is clearly coming for us. At this moment, how can they turn around to trouble the barbarians?"
"Alright, considering the unlikely event that the Demon Clan does trouble them, the Barbarian Leader is nearly invincible, how could he be so easily killed?"
"Yes, we should avoid the sharp edge at this time and find a place to hide!"
Chen Liangce and the others advised.
Ye Guichen merely smiled lightly, waving his hand: "Wait here, I’ll be right back."
With that, Ye Guichen grabbed the Immortal Slayer Sword and, using his swift movement technique, transformed his body into a streak of light, rushing towards the direction of the Demon Clan’s roar.
