Chapter 103: Chapter 93: Slaying Demons on the Battlefield

In front of Demon Suppression City, the vast green plain had long since become a bloody battlefield.

The war erupted violently, flames shot up to the sky, and a mixture of shouts, the sounds of charging, roars, and the clash of weapons rang incessantly in the ears, blending together in utter chaos.

Countless soldiers of Xiafeng Country clashed brutally with the endless Demon Beasts emerging from the Demon Beast Mountain Range. As soon as they entered the fray, it was a fight to the death. Flesh and blood were scattered in the air, and at every moment, men or Demon Beasts would fall and pass away completely.

On the ground, countless corpses littered the plain, skin torn and gashed, bones laid bare, entrails ruptured and spilling out, and the rich scent of blood thoroughly dyed the plain red.

There lay the bodies of Demon Beasts as well as humans, tangled up together, the sight was overwhelmingly bloody, enough to shock and awe anyone who saw it.

This was a scene from the most terrifying Demon Beast turmoil in history, and it was only the first day. Already, tens of thousands of lives were forever left in this place, a ghastly sight of flesh and bone.

Three hundred thousand heavily armored troops suffered uncountable casualties. Since the turmoil began, in just one day, there were innumerable wounded and killed, with at least half of the people leaving this world forever.

Similarly, the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where the unrest had erupted, paid an extremely heavy price. Whether it was traps laid out or direct confrontations, countless Demon Beasts perished, likely not fewer than the humans.

But what was truly frightening was that the Demon Beasts seemed to be endless. From within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a large number of ferocious Demon Beasts continuously charged out, heading towards Demon Suppression City by the thousands to directly confront the endless army, their pitiful howls signifying the Demon Beasts’ deaths.

The battlefield was filled with brutality, such that even many veterans who had fought in wars had never seen such a grisly scene.

From early morning until late at night, for a full day, the battle had never stopped, culminating in the scene before their eyes.

This plain had completely turned into the plain of death, with the stench of blood soaring to the heavens, the earth dyed red, and piles of bones that could form mounds, an unprecedented level of carnage.

And it was at this time that many warriors were utterly exhausted. They were not made of iron, and after fighting for a whole day, even the most battle-hardened soldiers felt their arms swollen to the point of numbness, no longer able to wield their weapons.

Many Demon Beasts, too, had fallen from exhaustion.

"Kill them!"

On the battlefield, some soldiers’ armor was shattered, their sharp swords reduced to jagged edges, the cutting edge completely gone, their bodies covered in scores of wounds, yet they still fought on the front line.

A Commander Level veteran was fighting ferociously, his eyes bloodshot, roaring as he cleaved a long-horned tiger in two, blood splashing everywhere. In turn, he was flung away by the tiger’s last claw strike, his armor completely shattered, and he was sent flying backward, spouting a mouthful of blood.

Hiss—

At this moment, a pitch-black Giant Python rushed forward swiftly, its gaping maw ready to devour the old general.

The general swung his great sword with great difficulty, his last bit of Innate True Essence burst forth, sending the black Giant Python flying, but unharmed. It was evident that this was an Innate Demonic Beast with tough Scale Armor, not killed by the attack.

The next moment, the general’s protective Innate True Essence vanished, and he, fatigued and gasping for breath, faced the Innate Giant Python charging at him again. His blood-stained face was filled with a forlorn smile, and he heaved a solemn sigh.

He closed his eyes, showing a look of relief, finally ready to join those brothers who had died in battle.

Whoosh—

Just then, the sound of something tearing through the air was heard, as a stream of white light flashed by. It was a white Long Spear, like a sharp white lightning bolt piercing through the void, which suddenly penetrated the unsuspecting black Giant Python’s head and pinned it to the ground.

With a loud bang, flesh and blood flew about, the Long Spear shining with a golden light, and then the black Giant Python was violently decapitated and killed.

The old general watched all this in amazement, as a single spear had killed an Innate Demonic Beast-level black Giant Python. A Super Expert from some place unknown had arrived.

Following that, a man in black appeared, effortlessly summoned the long spear into his hand, and, upon closer inspection, was shocked to discover it was just a youth, seemingly only sixteen or seventeen years old. Yet he had just slain an Innate Demon Snake. Since when had such an exceptional monster appeared in Xiafeng Country?

This young man was none other than Ye Chen, who had arrived in front of the decapitated giant python. A blood-stained golden core, the size of an infant’s fist, rolled on the ground, radiating terrifying energy within.

"Too small, not much use," Ye Chen muttered to himself as he tossed the demon core to the old general like throwing away trash, saying, "This Innate Demon Pill is for you; take it and recover quickly."

The old general was initially stunned but then gratefully accepted it, bowed deeply in thanks, and greedily refined some of the Innate Energy, replenishing his vitality on the spot. However, he did not leave the battlefield, but after a brief recovery, he charged out again, continuing his assault on the demon beasts.

Too many brothers in arms had been wounded or lost their lives here; he was unwilling to leave just yet, sworn to kill all the demon beasts, even if it meant leaving his life behind as well.

Seeing this, Ye Chen sighed softly, said nothing more, and turned to head deeper into the battlefield.

AOOO—

At that moment, a pack of dozens, if not hundreds, of Demon Wolves surged forward, aiming to take down the young Ye Chen.

ROAR—

Behind Ye Chen, the huge head of a Golden Lion emerged, letting out a ferocious roar. The invisible sonic force spread far and wide, striking Demon Wolves dead, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Massacre!

As long as it wasn’t a group attack by Innate Demonic Beasts, Ye Chen held no fear of being overwhelmed. Wielding his long spear, although countless demon beasts were before him, he seemed like an invincible War God, effortlessly sweeping across the field.

With every thrust of the spear, the heads of Innate Demonic Beasts exploded, dead beyond doubt, unable to hinder his advance in the slightest. Even if some Innate Demonic Beasts charged straight at him, with the Demon Bone Spear in hand, unless it was a truly fearsome Innate Demonic Beast of the Innate High Rank or above, Ye Chen always pushed straight through, crushing the demon beasts in his path.

Elsewhere, another striking young figure held a Divine Spear, radiating Divine Light, appearing godlike as he struck continuously. Wherever the spear pointed, all demon beasts were slain, leaving behind a ground full of corpses to attest to his might.

Even as several Innate Demonic Beasts charged at him, they were no match for him. The Divine Spear’s light streaked across the field, its edge so sharp, effortlessly taking the lives of three demon beasts and spilling blood across a distance of five feet.

That was the Crown Prince, who was also exceedingly strong, and he easily eliminated demon beast after demon beast, not much weaker than Ye Chen.

In other areas of the battlefield, the Thirteenth Prince, Vivian, the lady in red, Li Hu, and other elite students from the Heavenly Level Academy were in action, fighting valiantly, falling behind no one.

On this battlefield, as long as they did not encounter overly fearsome demon beasts, these Innate Strong People were not in grave danger.

"Ye Chen, interested in betting on who kills more Innate Demonic Beasts?" the Crown Prince approached Ye Chen, asking at some point.

Being a contender for the Divine status, the Crown Prince held Ye Chen in high regard, wanting to see who would slay more Innate Demonic Beasts to compare their prowess.

Others who heard this couldn’t help but be dumbfounded: only a true warrior could aim to kill only Innate Demonic Beasts, deeming all others beneath concern.

"The wager!"

Ye Chen answered succinctly, not caring in the least about who killed more Innate Demonic Beasts, for his aspirations lay elsewhere; but if there was a bet involved, he might be a bit more intrigued.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "If you win, all the Innate Demon Pills from the beasts I’ve killed are yours. If you lose, vice versa. How about that?"

"Agreed!"

Ye Chen accepted. Although such battles held little interest for him, the inclusion of a wager naturally made it worth participating.

Moreover, he too wished to venture into the Demon Beast Mountain Range...
