Chapter 820 - 815: Battle at the Profound Water Palace (Part 2)
However, Bai Pu faced the attacks of these two people without even glancing sideways.
Dang!
A clear reverberating sound rang out as the Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace True Intent Prototype lit up. Rein and Leia appeared simultaneously, enveloping Alvarez, Tito, and their attacks within it!
"Rein!!" Alvarez was furious.
"Alvarez, Tito, we’ve known each other for a long time."
Rein’s calm voice rang out, "Let me see how much you’ve improved over this past year."
"You joined Gangxin, and now you’re going against us?" Alvarez said coldly, "Do you really think your Furnace Squad can take on our two teams? Everyone, attack and break his furnace!"
Dozens of Awakened from Alvarez’s team and Tito’s team joined the battlefield one after another, along with the Red Race’s Awakened team, bombarding the phantom of the Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace with various energy attacks.
However, the earth trembled, and a giant centipede demon, ten meters long and the thickness of a pillar, suddenly burst out!
With a single strike from its limbs, it pierced through the back of an Awakened and then sliced him in half with a horizontal cut.
The Demon General slave controlled by Bai Pu: Demon Throat!
In terror, the Awakened from the Demon Square couldn’t muster the cooperation needed to bombard the Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace, so they could only surround and attack Demon Throat first.
Though Demon Throat is a Demon General with astonishing stats, there are dozens of Awakened present, belonging to three major teams!
The internal teamwork of the teams was quite seamless. Even without the participation and command of the leaders, dealing with a Demon General was no problem.
Demon Throat was continuously hit, and cracks appeared on its hard carapace. It re-entered the ground, avoiding attacks while posing a potential threat to the Awakened of Demon Square.
However, there were individuals among the Awakened of Demon Square who mastered the Earth Element Mystical Arts and were able to preemptively warn about Demon Throat’s Earth Splitting attacks! This forced Demon Throat to prematurely leap out of the ground to harass, reducing the pressure on Rein’s side.
In short, on this battlefield of Demon Throat vs. the three Demon Square Awakened teams, the Demon Square Awakened teams held an absolute advantage.
As long as time was sufficient, killing Demon Throat would not be a problem.
But Bron felt what he lacked was time!
"Alvarez, Tito! Quickly deal with Rein and the others and come help me!"
Alvarez and Tito, in terms of strength, were slightly stronger than Rein and Leia, but in combat, it wasn’t just about adding up paper strength — it also depended on how well they coordinated.
At the very least, with Leia’s support, Rein was fighting the two Major Generals to a standstill, not being easily overpowered in a short time.
Upon hearing Bron’s urging, Alvarez couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "Bron, you are a prominent figure in the Silver Heart Continent’s Awakened community. Aside from the super forces’ prodigies, you’re considered in the first echelon. How could you not measure up to Gangxin when teamed up with Demon General Blood Bat?"
"Gangxin still has cards up his sleeve! He hasn’t yet used his more powerful tactics—"
Bron was referring to "Man and Horse as One" and "Merciless Slaughter." When Bai Pu had utilized Merciless Slaughter, charging out of the Palace of Roots and through a host of demons and Awakened with Dongbo Cheng on his back, the unstoppable ferocity of that moment had left Bron with a deep psychological shadow.
"Anyway, we can’t end the battle right now."
Tito brought down his hammer, making the ground tremble and causing Rein to stumble, dissipating his power-up strike invisibly, and he grumbled stubbornly to Bron, "Resolving Rein and Leia will take at least fifteen minutes!"
Alvarez smiled slightly, "Mr. Bron, your fear of steel seems severe; what better chance than this battle’s victory to treat it properly!"
Exactly, in the eyes of these two newly-appointed Major Generals, they held the upper hand in this battle.
Don’t look at how the Black Shark Queen Mei Xi seemed to negate the numerical advantage of the Blood Sucking Demon Bats all on her own.
However, on this battlefield, they had the advantage in their duel against Rein and Leia, and as the battle progressed, the two new Major Generals became increasingly synchronized, making defeat of the duo a mere matter of time.
By then, the three Awakened teams would likely have dealt with Demon Throat, and everyone would amass their strength to besiege Gangxin... thinking he could escape then?
Bron was helpless; he understood that the two newly-appointed Major Generals had never faced Gangxin directly in combat and lacked awareness of how terrifying Gangxin was, still bearing a local’s arrogance from the Silver Heart Great World.
Persuading these two to go all out and fight desperately was impossible.
Bron could only seek help from Blood Bat, begging him to give the order for the Blood Sucking Demon Bats to charge fearlessly!
Luckily, the "Earth Vein Profound Yellow Stone" wasn’t given in vain; Blood Bat now regarded him as a "friend" and valued his opinion highly.
When he heard that Bai Pu still had a powerful card, Blood Bat was not doubtful: "Gangxin previously fought the Red Emperor, not to be underestimated. Although his current strength is not at its peak, having a hidden powerful card is highly likely...
"Boys! A few beads of Yellow Springs Water are enough to scare you off? Charge! As long as these humans are killed, the blood feast is yours to enjoy!"
Upon Blood Bat’s command, the eight hundred Blood Sucking Demon Bats surged with fervor, charging forward despite the assault from the Yellow Springs Water Drops, intent on besieging Bai Pu and his group.
Though corroded by the Yellow Springs Water and enduring unbearable pain, as long as they could kill those few from Gangxin, the Blood Sucking Demon Bats could restore their life value through blood sucking! And by absorbing strong targets, the Blood Sucking Demon Bats’ power would increase.
Unexpectedly, the Black Shark Queen Mei Xi directly used the Yellow Springs Canal to cast a large-scale realm magic—
Water Curtain Celestial Splendor!
With the Black Shark King Bead’s Water Control Power, Mei Xi’s "Water Curtain Celestial Splendor" magic extended from a few hundred meters to cover an area of two kilometers in radius! Encompassing the entire Profound Water Palace.
From above, the Profound Water Palace seemed encapsulated within a hemispherical curtain of Yellow Springs Water!
As Water Curtain Celestial Splendor slowly unfolded, those from the Demon Bat Tribe were naturally driven outside the water curtain! The Water Curtain Celestial Splendor magic itself is a protective barrier spell capable of repelling external invasions.
The Blood Sucking Demon Bats attempting to forcibly penetrate the Water Curtain Celestial Splendor would only be pushed out by the resilient power of the water curtain, enduring the intense corrosive effect of the Yellow Springs Water in the process, resulting in peeling, bone melting, and flesh turning into mush!
A single Water Curtain Celestial Splendor directly isolated the largest number of Blood Sucking Demon Bats from the main battleground of Profound Water Palace!
Inside the spherical space of Water Curtain Celestial Splendor, the area was divided into four battlefields.
Bai Pu against Bron and Blood Bat.
Rein + Leia against Alvarez + Tito.
Demon Throat delaying the three Awakened teams of Demon Square.
The Demon Spider Empress beside Mei Xi led the Spider Demons and Spider Ghosts to protect Mei Xi, resisting the scattered Yellow Springs Ghost Frog Demons.
Gazing at the canopy formed by the Yellow Springs Water, Bai Pu smiled slightly at Mei Xi, "How much longer can you hold on?"
Mei Xi estimated the remaining Demonic Power and said through the Summoner connection, "Half an hour at most."
"That’s enough time; let’s finish this quickly!"
