Chapter 675 - 272: Clan Members Abroad, Clan Order Not Always Enforced
At the same time, the Divine Treasure Martial Artists who had long been scattered and hidden on other islands surged into the sky, ready to hunt the big birds.
The Fourth Elder of the Celestial Leaf Branch flapped his wings, a glimmer of water light appeared, within which countless human-faced bird-shaped Witch Runes flickered.
Suddenly, he felt the ripples he generated were ruffled by a strong wind.
Not good!
Fourth Elder’s heart shook wildly at once.
Roar!
A tiger’s roar shattered the sky, and the mist in the air was suddenly cleared by a great winged tiger crashing through.
"Where did the tiger’s roar come from!"
The roar of the Celestial Leaf Vein Master resonated.
"Vein Master, save..."
Fourth Elder watched as the suddenly appeared giant tiger rushed from several hundred feet away close.
Its wings folded quickly, drawing the water vapor from all directions to form a Water Shield several feet large in front of it,
but the blood-colored tiger surged forward, without even raising a paw, it smashed the shield and the pair of wings shielding Fourth Elder were driven into his chest.
Crack!
The sound of bone shattering echoed as he was knocked away, crashing into the edge of an island below.
"Kill!"
A fierce wind swept up, swirling the mist over the Celestial Leaf Islands suddenly toward a single direction.
Three hundred Blazing Flame Martial Artists lined up on the water, led by Yan Pang, clutching a battle banner. Though the banner was only about two zhang high, its waving resounded with hunting sounds.
This is the newly crafted Soldier Suppression Battle Banner by the clan.
Over the past hundred years, the Blazing Flame Bo Division has crafted many Witch Artifacts, but the battle flags and war drums are the hardest to forge.
Crack!
As Yan Pang waved the battle flag, as it swirled in the fog from all directions, a cracking sound was heard.
Countless Witch Runes inside rapidly radiated dazzling light.
Seeing this, Yan Pang was startled, for he obtained the battle banner because it needed to be tested, just newly forged.
He didn’t expect it to break the first time on the battlefield.
Astonished, Yan Pang immediately gripped the flag with both hands, his whole body surging with blood energy, an exultant war intent rising.
"Kill!"
Behind him, three hundred Blazing Flame Celestial Vein Ninth Layer Martial Artists roared in unison.
The battle banner, in the cracking sound, gathered a crystalline blood energy infused with battle intent, rushing toward the mid-stage Divine Treasure Martial Artists of the Huantou Race in the sky like a long river.
The Great Elder of the Huantou Race, ready to attack, felt the blood-colored river rushing at the instant, and opened his mouth, seeming to have a dragon roar echoing.
Strands of blue winding water patterns spewed from his mouth, crashing towards the blood-colored river.
The blood-colored river instantly engulfed the blue water patterns, slamming into the Great Elder, bursting into a spray of blood.
As the mist cleared, the Huantou Race finally saw the attackers clearly.
A flock of flying beasts.
Moreover, several flying ships were rapidly traversing around, lurking on all sides of the islands, waiting for an opportunity.
Everyone here is flying, who to chase?
The Celestial Leaf Vein Master glanced around, of the seven clan elders they arranged, counting him standing, only two were left.
Before he could speak again, he saw five figures charging toward his direction.
Another five headed toward the remaining Second Elder.
"Courting death!"
The Celestial Leaf Second Elder roared in fury, pulled out a water-blue treasure bow, gently drawing the bowstring, shooting towards the approaching Blazing Flame clan people.
"I’ll handle this!"
Yan Jin, leading the charge, gripped the Great Halberd, raised it to the sky, cleaving down at the incoming arrow light.
Boom!
With a clang, the Great Halberd resonated loudly, cracking open with a gap, the arrow light ’poof’ pierced through Yan Jin’s shoulder.
Force invaded from the pierced shoulder, rampaging within, Yan Jin transformed into a great tiger war body, four zhang seven feet in size, dropping from the sky.
Rooar!
But after the splash exploded on the water, Yan Jin leaped back into the sky, his tiger shoulders dripping blood, roaring toward the heavens.
"Haha... birdman, you’re not that tough!"
After a furious strike, the Second Elder watched as Yan Jin, despite his injuries, rushed out of the water again, causing him to feel slightly dizzy from anger.
He wasn’t so sure anymore who really was mid-stage Divine Treasure.
"You whelp, I shall send you on your way!"
Ready to shoot another arrow, the Second Elder found himself suddenly enclosed in the Four Symbols Battle Array formed by the other four quasi-Divine Treasure level Blazing Flame clan members.
On the other side, the Celestial Leaf Vein Master enjoyed the treatment of a five-man battle array.
With only two remaining Divine Treasure Martial Artists held by the battle array, the rest of the Blazing Flame Clan People charged up, starting to form an array and launch surprise attacks from the surroundings.
The Huantou Clan People on the water angrily roared, each flapping their wings wildly, attempting to stir up a massive tide. But no matter how monstrous the waves were, they could not reach the figure in the sky, instead suffering blows from above.
...
On the Mineral Vein Island of the Celestial Leaf Islands, the Huantou Clan People stationed here had no time to suppress the Human Race miner slaves.
They furiously flapped their wings, employing various means, using bows, throwing spears, and stones to hurl toward the sky.
In the mine caves of the Mineral Vein Island, silhouettes of Human Race appeared. The caves here were incredibly damp.
The tremors from the battle caused many stones to roll down, revealing densely packed corpses and bones everywhere, with traces of purple-black blood puddles.
...
"Poof!"
The Celestial Leaf Vein Master roared angrily, a small tower appearing in his hand, but before he could act, he felt the Water Element around him being confined.
Looking up again, he found an earthy yellow Earth Dragon Wall barrier had appeared around him, cutting off the water vapor.
Those who cast the Earth Dragon Wall barrier were the Wizards from the clan, hovering nearby on a flying ship.
As the Water Element was confined, the Celestial Leaf Vein Master was shocked and was about to dodge immediately but encountered several divine technique attacks.
"Celestial Punishment Hammer Technique!"
"Kui Thunder Saber!"
"Profound Qilin Palm!"
"Thick Earth Palm!"
"Golden Halberd..."
...
A series of small and large divine techniques bombarded the Celestial Leaf Vein Master from all directions.
As a Quasi-Divine Treasure Realm Martial Artist within the clan, he was already capable of casting normal Tier Four divine techniques.
In an instant, the Celestial Leaf Vein Master felt his body about to crack, hurriedly circulating his internal blood to form protection, placing the Witch Tower in front of him.
Crunch!
A slight sound echoed, and the Celestial Leaf Vein Master screamed miserably, his pair of wings broken on the spot, bone spurs piercing the flesh.
"Take my spear!"
A roar rang out as Yan Pang threw out a large spear, blood energy bubbling as he stamped and tossed the spear at the moment, the flying ship under his feet exploding from the stomp, causing him to fall from mid-air.
Poof!
The long spear pierced through the air, stabbing into the Celestial Leaf Vein Master’s neck.
The Celestial Leaf Vein Master clutched the spear tightly, eyes wide open, spewing blood from his mouth as he fell.
The seven Quasi-Divine Treasures, including Yan Ye, who joined forces to attack the Celestial Leaf Vein Master, had blood-soaked bodies, with ripped flesh visible everywhere, some places even revealing bones.
At this moment, the seven of them intensely focused on the direction Yan Pang fell.
Damn it, stealing the kill!
...
When Yan Jin, Yan Ye, Yan Pang, Shi Xun, and other Quasi-Divine Treasures led hundreds of Celestial Vein Martial Artists to besiege the Celestial Leaf Branch,
The entire Huantou Race from near to far waters, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles north to south, was completely in chaos.
In these regions, nearly a hundred Huantou Clan branches comparable to the Human Race Bo Division were present, and smaller branches were countless.
In the wetlands, the Blazing Flame Celestial Vein Clan People could be seen everywhere, like gangs roaming the water areas, darting wherever there was a Huantou Clan branch.
When fighting, they were not reckless. It wasn’t about sneak attacks; they used drugs, employing any beneficial method.
Celestial Eye Mountain Camp.
Several Elders discussing a direct invasion into the depths of the Huantou Race had already dispatched scouts to explore the marching route.
"Report, Huantou Race’s Clear Water Branch has been destroyed, remnants scattered."
Upon hearing the report, the Longhuan Vein Master approached the largest sand table in the main hall.
On the sand table, there was a route leading from Celestial Eye Mountain to Profound Pool Abyss, originally considering that with so many Celestial Vein Martial Artists, they could select elite troops from two million people to penetrate the Huantou Race’s old nest.
But unexpectedly, by merely sending scouts to investigate the path.
Along the way, the Huantou Clan lands were already destroyed.
They said they weren’t exterminated because the Blazing Flame Martial Artists entering the water area targeted the wealthy Huantou Clan branches along the way.
When attacking, they specifically selected Divine Treasure and Celestial Vein targets, seizing resources and leaving.
With a wave of his hand, the Longhuan Vein Master pulled out a small flag on the sand table.
From Celestial Eye Mountain heading south for ten thousand miles, more than a dozen Huantou Clan Tier Four branches along the way had been destroyed by the Blazing Flame Clan People.
Of course, not only the southern line, but it seemed the eastern and western regions’ Huantou Clan branches had also been mostly eradicated.
Lord Changhuan stroked his beard and said quietly, "This war is fought..."
