Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Each Fights Their Own Battle, Struggling to Resist

Whish, whish, whish—

The gleam of blades and swords flashed across the sky. Three figures streaked past the Dark Demon tribespeople, slaying three Heavenly Human Realm Second Layer cultivators from the Dark Demon Race.

"Is this the strength of the top three on the Earth Rankings? It seems that they were holding back when they made their move in front of the Scripture Pavilion."

Lin Chen, watching Luo Wu, Yuan Baishu, and Zhao Ziyi in the distance, felt a tremor in his heart.

Although Lin Chen’s cultivation had reached the Seventh Level of the Reverting Void Realm, he still felt powerless when confronted with any one of these three men.

At this moment, the trio’s gaze also fell upon Lin Chen; they had witnessed him kill a Dark Demon tribesperson with a single punch and were curious about his strength, especially since Lin Chen’s cultivation was merely at the Seventh Level of the Reverting Void Realm.

If their cultivation were the same as Lin Chen’s, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him, which testified to how astounding Lin Chen’s talent was.

The three emerged from the Scripture Pavilion, and Lin Chen felt a tinge of regret, knowing that the treasures inside must have been claimed by them after such a long stay.

However, Lin Chen wasn’t too upset, as the treasures he had obtained from this venture into the ruins were already numerous, particularly the skeleton frames and magic treasures he had found at the bottom of the lake, far surpassing what other martial artists had gained.

Moreover, trapped within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron was an elder ancestor from the Qitian Sect. Master Qingxu’s cultivation technique must be extremely powerful, likely owning all the techniques that were in the Scripture Pavilion.

In the face of the Dark Demon tribespeople, Lin Chen, Luo Wu, Yuan Baishu, and Zhao Ziyi, along with Mao Yucheng, Spiky Great Demon, Yuan Lingzi, Tian Peng, Niu Dahei, and others, also took action, joining forces against the Dark Demon tribespeople.

It was clear to everyone that the Dark Demon tribespeople saw them as mere food, devoid of any respect.

"These ants possess such strength; no wonder our kin were slain before—it must have been their doing."

Bred, from the Dark Demon Race, fixed his gaze on Luo Wu and the others, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He had seen that Luo Wu and the others were formidable, far from as straightforward as they seemed on the surface.

Only the people before him could have exterminated the Dark Demon tribespeople.

Even if other martial artists joined forces, they could hardly withstand the Dark Demons’ death qi; at best, they could only cling to life, but a counter-kill was out of the question.

Bred, with a cultivation at the Heavenly Human Realm Sixth Layer, was not entirely confident in victory against Luo Wu and his peers.

Therefore, he led the Dark Demon tribespeople in a temporary retreat.

For Luo Wu and the others, they didn’t lead their forces in pursuit of the retreating Dark Demon tribespeople.

As a jest, their individual combat power might be strong, but in killing the Dark Demon tribespeople earlier, they had only selected those at the Second Layer of Heavenly Man Realm; the implicit message was that they weren’t mere ants to be slaughtered at will.

If they rashly gave chase now, the tide of battle might turn once again.

Under the previous assault of death qi, many martial artists were injured and their combat effectiveness reduced; pursuing the Dark Demons now would hardly be a wise move.

Now, everyone started to clean up the battlefield and recover from their injuries.

The various factions also scattered, each to their own territories.

Actually, at this moment, the best approach against the powerful Dark Demon Race would be to set aside their factional disputes and unite together. However, the people did not do so.

Firstly, there was considerable enmity among the Demon Race, Divine Flame Alliance, and Red Soul Hall; particularly for Red Soul Hall and the Six Great Sects of the Divine Flame Alliance, to join hands would be like collaborating with one’s enemies.

Secondly, the leading figures of each faction had their own pride, and none wanted to be the first to seek cooperation, lest they lose face.

However, not long after, the Dark Demon tribespeople attacked once again.

It seemed they had merely retreated earlier to discuss tactics. This time, the Dark Demon tribespeople began to attack in an orderly array formation.

Twenty-two Dark Demon tribespeople, excluding Bred, formed teams based on strength—the weaker paired with the stronger—and started their assault.

Now, seven teams of Dark Demon tribespeople launched an offensive against the various factions.

The Dark Demon tribespeople attacking Lin Chen’s side had the strongest cultivation levels: Hybrid combinations of Heavenly Human Realm Fifth Layer, Fourth Layer, and Third Layer inflicted considerable pressure on Lin Chen. After all, he had previously eliminated a Dark Demon at the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Man Realm, but it had cost him serious injuries.

At present, Lin Chen couldn’t possibly contend with the three Dark Demon tribespeople on his own.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Seeing the three Dark Demon martial artists approaching, Wu Chao, Dongfang Yun, Xu Hai, Qin Kaifeng, Qin Yushuang, Yu Weilian, and Yao Qinghe all soared out from the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation and arrived at Lin Chen’s side to face the enemy together.

Apart from Wu Chao, whose strength was not much different from Lin Chen’s, the others might be slightly inferior in combat capability, but they too had gained opportunities in the ruins, and thus their cultivation had substantially improved.

The battle was about to break out at any moment, and Lin Chen and his companions took to the sky. Aside from Lin Chen, the other martial artists joined forces to challenge one opponent.

The martial artist from the Reverting Void Realm Fourth Layer was contended by Wu Chao, Qin Kaifeng, and Dongfang Yun; the Heavenly Man Realm Third Layer by Yu Weilian, Yao Qinghe, Xu Hai, Qin Yushuang, and Xia Wanxin; and Lin Chen alone confronted the Dark Demon martial artist from the Heavenly Human Realm Fifth Layer.

Now, facing the Dark Demons’ concentrated death qi, Lin Chen did not hesitate to throw a punch without a second thought.

His Fiery Flame Divine Fist had now broken through to the Sixth Level, undergoing a qualitative change compared to the Fifth Level, and this time, Lin Chen would definitely not suffer the same injuries as before.

"Hmph, ants, do you think I’m the same waste as before? Daring to rely solely on physical strength to engage me in close combat is simply courting death."
