Chapter 590 - 590 Fate
At the same time, this victory also brought them pride, arrogance, and complacency. After the last war between the human and demon race, the situation in the Demon Realm changed greatly. One Lord left, and the other two Lords turned their eyes to the ownerless Royal Court.
To be honest, even the Moon Lord didn’t expect the change in the Demon Realm to happen so quickly. The war had turned into a civil war.
The Demon Realm had been peaceful for several years, and their fighting spirit was no longer as strong as before. As for the humans, because of their last failure, they were constantly under the pressure of being destroyed by the demons. Naturally, they were completely different. They were willing to risk their lives to keep the human race alive!
The two rank-seven powerhouses fought fiercely. Every move was simple, but each more fatal than the last. That’s right, the human rank-seven Grandmaster’s intention was to kill this rabbit. As for the rank-seven beast… It was forced to back away, and later on, it was slowly beaten until it became truly angry.
In the end, the human Grandmaster paid the price of one of his arms being crushed to kill the rank-seven Herculean King Rabbit. It was a good start for the preliminaries of the war between humans and demons!
“The first battle was won by humans. May the next demon please come? Will that human be replaced?”
“No!”
In the air, the rank-seven Grandmaster drooped his left hand and looked at the beasts standing on the peaks with a sinister smile. His eyes were full of hatred and bloodlust. He had no intention of consuming his immortal matter to restore his left hand, because he had already made up his mind to die!
The dazed were afraid of the fierce, the fierce were afraid of the desperate!
The demon race was rude and unreasonable. Now, they had encountered a human who did not care about his life!
For a moment, the whole competition ground fell silent. The two Demon Saints looked down at the rank-seven human powerhouses below and sneered. Indeed, humans were not afraid of death, but in terms of the number of powerhouses, humans could never compare with the demons. They could drag the other party to death even if they had to.
The second rank-seven monster came on stage. It knew very well that the human Grandmaster’s power was almost exhausted, so it was not in a hurry to fight with the other party. Instead, it chose to kite the other party. Unfortunately, the human Grandmaster seized the opportunity and killed it in one strike without paying much of a price.
“You f*cking id*ot!”
A few Demon Emperors cursed in anger. They did not reach the peak to stand side by side with Lin Xuan and the rest… Yes, they were not strong enough and could not climb up the mountain. However, this did not mean that their strength was weak. Although they had been eroded by the hike, they were still peerless Demon Emperors who had climbed up step by step through killing the beasts along the way. After being stimulated by the blood, their former bloodthirstiness seemed to have returned!
He glared at the rank-seven monster that had just gone up the stage with his huge eyes that were filled with ruthlessness. “If you can kill him, I’ll reward you handsomely!”
It was a reward from a Demon Emperor. It should be known that the strength of the demon race’s Venerable Sovereign and the human’s Venerable Sovereign might not be much different, but the financial resources of both sides were vastly different. One was a beggar who had finished this meal and had no next meal, while the other was a rich man who had already achieved wealth and freedom. The two could not be compared at all.
The rank-seven demon who had just stepped onto the stage became immediately excited. There were a lot of resources in the Demon Realm, but most of them were divided up by the three great Lords. Even if there were any remaining resources, they were all taken by the few Demon Emperors. As for the other experts, they had no income at all.
For a rank-seven demon, if it wanted to break through, it would either have to work for the Royal Court or sell itself to a Demon Emperor. Even this would take time. Without decades or even centuries of resources, it would be difficult to break through.
This time, the shifter Demon Emperor had shouted that he would give a great reward in front of everyone. Not to mention other things, the resources needed to break through to rank-eight were probably the prize. If they squeezed a little, they would probably have enough to even break through to rank-nine!
“Kill!”
Under the heavy reward, there would definitely be those that turn ruthless. This was true for humans, and it was the same for demons!
As a result, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and gradually, rank-eight and rank-nine powerhouses began to intervene!
One by one, the rank-seven, rank-eight, rank-nine, and even the top powerhouses retreated with injuries. Although the strength of the humans had improved a little after cultivating the Tinder Sutra, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. After the continuous battle, they were all injured. Of course, the battle results were also very rich. Every monster was torn to pieces. Even if there were some who escaped, they were seriously injured and would not be able to get out of bed for three to five years.
Now that the lower level fighters made their move, would the Venerable Sovereigns and the Saints be making theirs ?
Lin Xuan and Zhang Jintao, who were standing at the peak, looked at the battle below in silence. The human powerhouses had suffered heavy losses this time. None of them thought about surrendering at all. They still had legs when their hands were broken, and their mouths when their legs were broken. In the end, they even self-destructed, trying to create enough advantages for the next powerhouse.
One after another, they kept coming in and out. Compared to the demons, the humans suffered more losses. After all, the number of humans did not match the number of demons there. Even if one person exchanged for three or four demons, the demons would still profit from one loss of a human.
“We can’t continue like this!”
“The losses on the human side are too heavy, and we can’t achieve the purpose of stalling for time.”
“That’s not necessarily true. With so many demons dead and many of them seriously injured, we can live in peace for at least one or two years.
“I hope so!”
In the next moment, a Demon Emperor of the highest level stepped out. It was a Sundering Sky Tiger. Its bloodline was extraordinary, and its cultivation base had reached the peak of the Demon Emperor realm. It was only one step away from breaking through to the Demon Saint realm. It was just that it had been stuck at this step for more than a hundred years.
The moment it appeared, it looked extremely brutal. It raised its claws and directly smacked down at the human rank-nine powerhouse. If it landed, the human powerhouse would definitely die.
However, the rank-nine powerhouse was also a tough cookie to crack. Without saying a word, he directly blew up his left arm, and the power surged to his right arm. When he saw the Sundering Sky Tiger’s claws coming at him and felt the powerful force flowing on it, he gritted his teeth and directly blew up his two legs. He paid the price of three of his limbs to forcibly increase the strength of this attack.
The claw and the blade collided, and a terrifying force shook. Fang Yuan, this brute, was still lacking, even though this attack was evenly matched with the Sundering Sky Tiger’s, it could only be like this, after this one attack, he had no more strength to fight.
Seeing the Sundering Sky Tiger raise his claw again, Lin Xuan shook his head and jumped towards the battlefield, kicking the human-like Fang Yuan away. He then stood in front of the Sundering Sky Tiger, “Why don’t you let me experience the skills of a big tiger like you instead!”
