875 Chain Reaction, Five Wives? (1/2)
Monster Emperor Baizhi, the most powerful in the Holy Region, not only had extremely high capability and intelligence, but was also very experienced. Once she saw the chance, she would definitely make full use of it.
Although she was attacked by Qian Yu from the back, she did not bother with it and continued to focus on Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng.
Monster Emperor Baizhi was very certain that the ”struggle before death” of humankind would officially end if she defeated Mo and Mu.
After that, she would only need to regain her control over Nangong Hao. Like her initial plan, everything would fall into place and no more unexpected incidents would happen.
Boom! A lightning struck.
Mo Shanshi was sent flying again with purple lightning bolts twisted around his body. His expression was distorted.
”Valley Master!”
”Master!”
The disciples of Fu Xi Valley reacted anxiously to this scene. The silver dragon in the sky that was made up of hundred over disciples of the Fu Xi Valley began moving.
This movement was noticed by some of the Monster Kings.
Monsters lived in the deep mountains and absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon to train. In such an environment, they naturally had exceptional sensitivity.
None of the creatures in the world could win the monster race in terms of seizing opportunities. This was caused by the nature of the monster race's habitat.
Upon seeing the movement of the silver dragon, three Monster Kings immediately sprang into action at the same time. They began their joint attack on the few ”nervous” disciples who were in a ”daze”.
Crack! The silver dragon which was initially connected was split from the center. The silver long connection was broken and a few disciples had their bodies torn into half. Blood splattered in the air.
This was a chain reaction!
As the mental support of the Fu Xi Valley, once Mo Shanshi met a crisis, the disciples of the Fu Xi Valley would also be affected.
In fact, this chain reaction did not only affect the Fu Xi Valley.
The sword formation formed by the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion was also unstable. After all, the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion were also deeply concerned with Mu Qingfeng's safety.
As the ancient saying goes, a snake without head cannot crawl. Regardless of whether it was on the battlefield or in the sect, once they had lost the leader, the morale would also be greatly affected and there was a ninety percent chance that it would result in a failure.
In contrast, when the opponent's leader was in an advantageous position on the battlefield, the morale of their disciples would increase. Indeed, as one falls, another rises.
Mo Shanshi's energy was depleted and this affected Mu Qingfeng. Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng's fall also affected the disciples of Fu Xi Valley and Heaven Dao Pavilion.
It was predictable that the outcome of this battle was leaning towards the monster race's favor.
In the Great War that happened over ten years ago, although the monster race and demon race were more powerful than the humankind, the two races not only lost the battle but also ended up killing one another, resulting in the death of nearly all of the powerful individuals of the demon race.
Yet after more than ten years…
The situation was exactly opposite.
In terms of numbers, humankind had an absolute advantage. However, the chances of winning were slim and there was even a possibility of failure.
”Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns.” Although this sentence felt like a ridicule, it was not completely unreasonable.
Roar!
”Attack!”
With a ferocious roar, the Monster Kings' killing intent was raging. Instead of defending, they decided to change their tactic and attacked the troop beneath.
”Oh no, the Monster Kings are attacking us!”
”Run for your lives!”
The disciples of the various sects were no match for the Monster Kings. As they saw dozens of Monster Kings approach, they panicked.
Besides them, the troops of the Four Great Empires also moved. The previously calm and composed troops began surrounding the emperor of the Four Great Empires.
”Protect His Majesty!”
”Your Majesty, please leave this dangerous place!”
”Hurry, stand aside!”
The sounds of a commotion could be heard. As compared to the calmness previously, humankind had ended up in a state of commotion. Although they were not yet escaping, the morale had been greatly affected.
This commotion had inevitably affected the sages who were fighting in midair. When they saw how the disciples of the various sects started scurrying, they began to lose their composure.
As the saying goes, ”When disaster strikes, birds fly off in different directions.”
Regarding this battle that involved the future of humankind, everyone was mentally prepared to fight until their deaths. However, there was still a huge difference between being mentally prepared and actually dying.
Nobody wants to die.
Therefore, although they knew that they should not retreat, when the Monster Kings pressured them, they subconsciously began to retreat, hoping that others would be able to fight on their behalf.
When one person retreated, the surrounding few would also be affected. When three or four people retreated together, the situation then became worrying.
”Brace it, do not retreat!”
”If we are able to fight with all our might, then the Monster Kings won't be able to defeat us!”
”Let us work together and repulse the Monster Kings!”
As the sages were forced to retreat, someone finally reacted. However, it was too late as the fighters' mindsets had already changed.
It changed from attack to defense mode!
This was a critical point even though this change was not very noticeable. The fighting power of the troops is greatly diminished when they were only concerned about defending.
”Second Hallmaster, the situation looks awry. Should we do some preparation…” In the Yin Yang Hall, an old man looked at Dao Xin nervously.
”If Hallmaster is here, there shouldn't be a problem.” Dao Xin frowned. The veil covering his face was blown by the gentle breeze, revealing a face of purity.
”However, the Yin Yang Hall is known for assisting and providing recovery support. Now that the people of the Fu Xi Valley and Heaven Dao Pavilion are defeated, the Yin Yang Hall and Ling Yun Tower have taken over the front line. Although the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower are powerful enough, the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall cannot match up to that. If this continues, the Yin Yang Hall would suffer the most loss!” The old man said.
”Hmm…” Dao Xin frowned harder when he heard this. Looking at the powerful individuals who were retreating, she clenched her fists and said, ”We are set for defeat, it is hard to turn the tables…”
