Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1097: Blood-Red Elegy! (4 Updates)

In front of the commander tent, less than a thousand feet away, lies a vast plain, which is also the last stronghold of the Sky Peak Camp on the Black Water Plain, the final line of defense.

Once this line of defense is breached, the Demon army can march straight in and attack the main tent of the Sky Peak Camp!

At this moment, the armies of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan clash violently.

The battle cries are deafening, and the thick scent of blood is so overwhelming that it’s nearly suffocating.

Countless Humans and Demons are entangled in combat, attacking each other, the screams of dying Humans and the sinister laughter of the Demons echoing through the sky!

Jiang Xiaofan tightly grips the sword in his hand, his eyes searching the battlefield.

In a radius of hundreds of miles, the earth has been stained a deep crimson red, and everywhere one looks, it’s sheer devastation.

Cold Human corpses floating in the river have already begun to decompose; this long-drawn-out war has claimed far too many soldiers!

Dusk grows ever darker.

Under the blood-red setting sun, strands of tragic and desolate sounds pierce through space, gently coming from the cosmic dust, transforming into a mournful song.

Jiang Xiaofan is enveloped in endless desolation, his heart filled with unspeakable anger and sorrow.

“Kill!—”

The long sword raised high, Jiang Xiaofan releases a howl that is almost hysterical, leading the last of the Black Armored Cavalry Army’s elite straight into the battlefield.

Deep in the battle, a Peak Demon King has already revealed his True Form of the Demon Beast, sweeping away a large number of Human soldiers with a single swipe, crushing them into meat paste!

Unlike other Demon Kings, his True Form has reached a height of thirty zhang, almost close to Demon Emperor Level, a Half-step Demon Emperor.

After five consecutive days of fruitless attacks, the Green Bull Demon Emperor apparently lost his patience and relieved Hai Lingxiang of command, taking charge personally.

Other than acting himself, he has sent all his elite forces onto the battlefield.

The Half-step Demon Emperor wreaks havoc everywhere he goes!

With each attack, countless lives are reaped, flesh and blood splattering everywhere!

From the sky, a rain of blood falls!

“Kekekeke…”

Feeling the despair of the Human commanders around him, the Half-step Demon Emperor laughs maniacally, a long crimson tongue licking his lips as he sneers, “Despair, now, suffer, now, struggle in the endless pit of despair! Kekekeke…”

“Kill!”

The response to the Half-step Demon Emperor comes from a King-level commander, who, though knowing the odds, strides forward without fear.

With his flesh and blood, he fights against the Demon Clan, with no regrets even for a moment more.

The slaughter in this desperate situation, unprecedentedly brutal!

The army led by Jiang Xiaofan quickly charges into the battlefield, yet fails to genuinely turn the tide; the Demon Clan’s numbers and overall strength practically crush Sky Peak Camp, rendering this a battle with no chance of victory.

Unfailingly, Tianmang Fortress’s side provides no reinforcements.

Jiang Xiaofan fights wildly, his armor stained with blood, his arms swinging his sword to the point of numbness.

In five continuous days, he’s lost track of how many battles he’s fought. Even with the Xuanwu Treasure Blood, he’s feeling overwhelmed.

No matter what, he must hold on until Ling Feng returns!

“Protect Commander Huo! He’s injured!”

A shout of anger suddenly erupts from the right side of the battlefield.

Jiang Xiaofan looks over, seeing a group of roughly a hundred Demons encircling over a dozen Human soldiers, and leading them is none other than Huo Yuanyi, the Commander of the Black Armored Cavalry Army!

At this moment, Huo Yuanyi is wielding a long spear, barely standing; his once-solid armor shattered, black air roiling, dark blood gushing out — it’s apparent it’s a severe poison.

Alongside Huo Yuanyi, over a dozen soldiers from the Black Armored Cavalry Army surround him, forming an impenetrable wall. Even when pierced by Demon claws, they refuse to let them get any closer to Huo Yuanyi.

However, despite this, Huo Yuanyi’s face has turned an eerie shade of black.

The violent poison has ravaged his heart, and even with his King-level cultivation, he cannot suppress such a terrifying toxin.

“Kekekeke, so that’s the commander of the Black Armored Cavalry Army, he’s killed quite a few of our Demon Clan in recent days!”

“If this commander falls, won’t all the Human soldiers fall into utter despair?”

“Haha, all together now! Let’s slay the commander of the Black Armored Cavalry Army!!”

With a roar from the leading Demon, hundreds of Demons charge together!

Like a torrent, they attack with madness.

“Form a formation! Protect Commander Huo!”

The soldiers cry out in sorrow, forming a circular formation to encircle the severely poisoned Huo Yuanyi!

Boom!

The gap in numbers is simply too great, and the moment they clash, even when many Demons perish, seven of the thirteen Black Armored Cavalry Soldiers are torn apart on the spot!

And next, a second wave of attack surges in.

Seven more, and three more fall!

Yet, even with only four soldiers left, they still protect Huo Yuanyi in the center, using their own bodies to defend their commander.

“No, no!”

Huo Yuanyi trembles all over; these are his personal guards, his brothers-in-arms. Watching them fall one after another, Huo Yuanyi hates that it’s not him dying instead.

“Kekekeke, just four left! Human commander, blame your own incompetence!”

The Demon leader sneers, waving his hand, sending the remaining Demons charging once more.

“Giant Spirit Hammer!”

Jiang Xiaofan shouts angrily, instantly channeling the Giant Spirit Battle God Bone, and slamming a heavy fist into the ground.

The terrifying destructive force shatters the ground, and in a flash, Jiang Xiaofan is at Huo Yuanyi’s side.

“Vice General Jiang…”

Cold sweat dots Huo Yuanyi’s forehead, the poison numbing his senses, leaving him with little strength to even speak.

“Kill!”

Jiang Xiaofan clenches his fist, looking up at the desolate dusk, a thunderous roar shaking the heavens erupting from his mouth.

The remaining four Black Armored Cavalry Soldiers, sensing the bleak atmosphere, shake off the blood on their blades, ready to fight to the death so long as they still breathe!

“This…”

The terrifying killing intent emanating from Jiang Xiaofan makes even the leading Early Stage Demon King feel a chill down his spine.

Jiang Xiaofan carries Xuanwu Treasure Blood, which is Divine Beast Blood, and Divine Beasts inherently exert a pressure on any ordinary Demons.

This suppression is embedded in the bloodline and is irrevocable.

Soon, a group of Jiang Xiaofan’s personal guards gathered, and seeing that the Demons besieging Huo Yuanyi were losing their advantage, they quickly retreated, narrowly sparing Huo Yuanyi’s life; however, as long as the poison inside him is not cleared, his life remains in grave danger.
