Chapter 5691: External Personnel
In the midst of spatial distortion, the figure of Bai Xiaole emerged. When people saw the youthful Bai Xiaole, they were all amazed.
Facing Bai Xiaole, the leader of the demon clan had one arm completely disabled, blood flowing profusely, as if it had been bitten off by a giant beast.
The leader of the demon clan was a mixture of astonishment and anger. He hadn't even noticed Bai Xiaole. The fierce force of spatial manipulation struck, luckily he instinctively dodged. Otherwise, caught off guard, he would have been crushed by that vortex.
Bai Xiaole's attack was silent and invisible, impossible to defend against. Life and death hung by a thread.
"Under the command of Long Chen, an unnamed soldier of the Dragon Blood Legion, Bai Xiaole, seeks guidance," Bai Xiaole introduced himself in the manner of the others.
Since joining the Dragon Blood Legion, Bai Xiaole's growth had been incredibly rapid. However, due to his unique abilities, he couldn't integrate with the Dragon Blood warriors and thus didn't belong to any specific unit.
Bai Xiaole always jokingly referred to himself as an "external personnel," but the Dragon Blood Legion had never treated him as an outsider. It was merely a playful title. Now, Bai Xiaole unexpectedly introduced himself using that very title.
"Shameless sneak attack, despicable human race, you all should die!"
The leader of the demon clan roared in anger. His body swayed violently, his severed arm regenerated. His large hand spread open, a blood-colored battle axe swept through the sky, fiercely slashing towards Bai Xiaole.
What astonished everyone was that Bai Xiaole, facing the leader of the demon clan, didn't dodge or evade, nor did he attempt to block.
"Boom"
Just as the giant axe was about three feet away from Bai Xiaole's head, three divine flower patterns emerged in the void. The patterns flowed and intertwined, forming a barrier that forcefully blocked the axe strike.
"What kind of mystic art is this?"
Someone exclaimed.
"No seals, no chants, no visible energy fluctuations, no sign of destiny's power... What kind of force is this?"
For a moment, countless powerful beings were astonished. Bai Xiaole stood in the void, his aura concealed, and his dragon veins hidden. The appearance of the three divine flowers out of thin air was incredibly eerie.
"Look at his eyes!"
Someone shouted, and everyone then noticed that Bai Xiaole's pupils were radiating a divine brilliance. Upon closer inspection, they could even see nine dragon shadows flickering within his eyes. These dragon shadows surrounded his pupils, and within the pupils, the pattern of the three flowers shimmered, identical to the divine pattern blocking the giant axe.
"It's a doujutsu, the legendary doujutsu."
The strong members of the demon clan were nearly going insane. The wielder of the legendary doujutsu had actually appeared, and this wielder of the doujutsu claimed to be an external member of the Dragon Blood Legion. Just where did this Dragon Blood Legion come from?
"You bastard! Today, I'll crush your eyeballs!"
The leader of the demon clan roared in fury, his massive axe radiating divine light as he once again struck fiercely against the protective shield of the three flowers.
"Crack."
This time, cracks appeared on the three-flower shield, bringing great joy to the leader of the demon clan. He swung his massive axe again, and the barrier finally couldn't hold on any longer, bursting apart with a thunderous boom.
The moment the barrier shattered, the leader of the demon clan took a step forward and charged at Bai Xiaole. However, just as he reached Bai Xiaole, his figure instantly turned illusory.
"It's an afterimage!"
A powerful individual exclaimed. No one had expected that this brawny leader of the demon clan would actually employ tactics.
"Die!"
Bai Xiaole's surroundings collapsed, and the leader of the demon clan swung his axe fiercely at Bai Xiaole's neck.
"Boom."
However, at that moment, another three-flower shield appeared, blocking his strike once again.
Bai Xiaole slowly turned his head back, looking at the leader of the demon clan with a faint smile.
Bai Xiaole wasn't particularly skilled with words. He had once sought guidance from Long Chen on how to provoke an opponent.
When the leader of the demon clan saw Bai Xiaole's smile, his head felt like it was buzzing, and a surge of anger instantly engulfed him. This silent and invisible mockery was even more discomforting than being slapped in the face.
"Die!"
The leader of the demon clan roared in fury. Consumed by rage, his axe swung like a spinning wheel, striking fiercely.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
The three-flower shield kept shattering incessantly. Every time the shield shattered, Bai Xiaole would step back several paces and then form a new shield.
"Let's see how many shields you've got!" The leader of the demon clan yelled.
"Let's see how much strength you have," Bai Xiaole retorted, not backing down either.
One of them launched a fierce attack, while the other defended fiercely, focusing on wearing each other down, ultimately determining who would give in first.
Seeing that all five demon clan leaders were held back and there was no one to lead them, the strong members of the demon clan continued to charge forward.
Soon, they encountered the warriors from the Dragon Blood Legion, the Hidden Dragon Legion, the Dragon Clan, and the Wind God Pavilion, igniting a chaotic battle in an instant.
On the side of the Dragon Blood Legion, their task was solely to guard the opening. Whenever someone attempted to breach it, they would step in to eliminate the threat.
However, what puzzled the Dragon Blood Legion was that some human strongmen also rushed to the opening. Instead of attacking it, they marked out a territory and prevented other forces from approaching.
"They're from the Northern Alliance," Xia Chen said as he looked at the group. Recognizing their banner, he knew they hailed from a faction known as the Northern Alliance.
"It seems like they're indirectly helping us guard the territory. This is good. Our defensive line will be much shorter, making it easier to protect," Guo Ran commented.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
The three-flower shield kept shattering incessantly. Every time the shield shattered, Bai Xiaole would step back several paces and then form a new shield.
"Let's see how many shields you've got!" The leader of the demon clan yelled.
"Let's see how much strength you have," Bai Xiaole retorted, not backing down either.
One of them launched a fierce attack, while the other defended fiercely, focusing on wearing each other down, ultimately determining who would give in first.
Although he didn't know why these people were helping them, they were all humans after all, and mutual assistance was only natural. He wasn't aware that Long Chen had once given the Northern Alliance a significant opportunity.
"There's another group coming from over there, and their banner is... the Southern Alliance," Xia Chen suddenly looked in another direction. Another large group of human strongmen was charging over.
Human reinforcements arriving while the Dragon Blood Legion was locked in battle with the demon clan was a clear indication that they were coming to help. If they were enemies, they would likely wait for both sides to weaken each other before taking advantage.
"Guo Ran, inform everyone to go easy on their attacks, just maintain a balance and try to delay as much as possible," Bai Shishi urgently told Guo Ran as she watched numerous demon clan strongmen being slain.
Except for Bai Xiaole, who was fighting with all his might, everyone else focused on stabilizing the situation, quietly waiting for this attritional battle to unfold.
If the Dragon Blood Legion were to reveal their full strength too early, the enemy might lose patience and launch a full-scale assault. No matter how strong the Dragon Blood Legion was, they wouldn't be able to withstand the siege of so many powerful enemies.
The attacks of the Dragon Blood warriors were too fierce, and their offense outweighed their defense. Inadvertently, they had killed numerous demon clan strongmen, risking the exposure of their true strength.
Guo Ran was aware of this issue as well, but there was little they could do. This was an instinctive battle, and it was challenging to fight against one's own instincts. However, he discreetly sent a message to the others, urging them to hold back a bit.
After killing someone, they should try to put on a fierce and ruthless appearance, giving the impression that they were trading blows in a life-or-death situation.
Time ticked away slowly. The demon clan's massive army surged like a vast ocean, relentlessly assaulting the defensive circle of the Dragon Blood Legion. Yet, they couldn't break through the blockade.
The ground was already flowing with rivers of blood, but there were no mountains of corpses, as the bodies were being collected by the Dragon Blood warriors.
This action thoroughly infuriated the demon clan. The bodies of the demon clan were treasures to the human race, and this was one of the things the demon clan resented most about humans. They charged forward like madmen.
However, no matter how they charged, the defensive lines of the Dragon Blood warriors, Hidden Dragon warriors, Dragon Clan disciples, and Wind God Pavilion disciples remained as solid as a rock. Every assault resulted in the deaths of numerous strongmen, but they were unable to gain even an inch of ground.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, a chilling and tragic scream echoed through the air. The faces of the demon clan's strongmen turned pale, especially the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan. They recognized the scream—it came from Hou Tianwu.
