Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1403: Chapter 1404: Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes! (Second Update)

”What? It’s so severe?”

Jingfeng Palace Master Zuo Feiqing’s face stiffened. Two days ago, based on the signal for help from the Land of Conquest, the Hall of Conquest indeed suffered heavy losses, but it shouldn’t be to the extent that a veteran expert like Xu Zhengfeng would lose all confidence in defending the Land of Conquest.

Xu Zhengfeng sighed lightly and said slowly, ”The situation is extremely unfavorable. The Northern Barbarians are fiercely attacking head-on, and with the assistance of the Demon Clan, we have suffered multiple setbacks. Over time, we’ve already lost more than ten Emperor Strong fighters!”

”What!” Zuo Feiqing’s eyelids jumped suddenly, ”When the Void Fire Jade sent the message, wasn’t it said that only three Emperors had died? In just two days, so many Emperors have fallen?”

Though the East Spirit Immortal Pond has a heritage of ten thousand years, producing many Emperor Strong experts, the loss of ten Emperors is already considered painful.

Xu Zhengfeng said solemnly, ”It’s still those three Barbarian squads that snuck in!”

”These Barbarian squads infiltrated our Land of Conquest, being active behind us, using never-before-seen means to monitor our every move. They know exactly when we deploy troops, our strength, numbers, and routes. Thus, our front lines keep being ambushed, continually losing several Emperor Strong fighters!”

As Xu Zhengfeng spoke angrily, he slammed his palm on the table, instantly crushing the stone table into powder.

”What means? Among our Emperor Strong fighters, there are plenty of Soul Dao Experts; can’t anyone know how they are monitoring our movements?” Zuo Feiqing asked, frowning.

”No, what the Barbarians are using is not Soul Dao Secret Technique, but Beast Taming Technique!”

Xu Zhengfeng clenched his fist and said bitterly, ”The Northern Barbarians excel in Controlling Insects and Driving Gu, which was already challenging, but this time they can even control snakes, insects, rats, and ants, becoming enemy spies. Even an ant or a bug could be under enemy control! After learning this, all we could do was eliminate all living creatures within ten miles of our camp to prevent further enemy surveillance.”

”But even so, the effect is still minimal.”

Xu Zhengfeng sighed deeply, saying slowly, ”Ants, though can be killed easily, are impossible to completely eradicate. Deep underground, there are countless insects; no matter the effort, can we dig ten feet down and kill all those insects beneath?”

”This...”

Zuo Feiqing frowned slightly; indeed, this is a trouble. Ants, though small and harmless to humans, are annoying enough, impossible to kill all, impossible to wipe out.

”Therefore, I had no choice but to send out several elite squads to hunt those Barbarian squads down and solve the problem from the root.” Xu Zhengfeng said slowly, ”Over days, there have been some achievements, successfully eliminating two squads. Unfortunately, the last Barbarian squad is the real key; those skilled in Beast Taming Technique are among them!”

”The six elite squads I dispatched have lost three due to this operation. Though they cornered the enemy in a dangerous place after some confrontations, they were counter-killed by the enemy. Consequently, all six elite squads perished!”

Xu Zhengfeng grieved bitterly; a team he considered elite must be led by Emperor Strong!

Zuo Feiqing gasped sharply. Now, with the Demon Clan and Barbarian army pressing at the front and spies continually probing from behind, any move is exposed to the enemy, making an offensive tantamount to suicide. But if they keep retreating, morale will keep dropping, and sooner or later, the mighty defenses of the Hall of Conquest will be breached.

After contemplating for a moment, Zuo Feiqing finally said slowly, ”In that case, why doesn’t Elder Xu ask for the help of the ’Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes’? With their strength, they are invincible among their peers, capable of dealing with merely a small Barbarian squad.”

The so-called ”Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes” are the ten fighters with the most enemy kills and merit in the Hall of Conquest. They are a title competed for by successive Young Emperor experts after leaving East Spirit Immortal Pond and arriving at the Land of Conquest.

The Young Emperor experts are already considered top-notch experts, and the top ten among them are the best of the best. After advancing to Emperor, their strength might rival the core elders of the Eight Halls.

”Ah...” Xu Zhengfeng sighed deeply, ”You don’t know, this time, among the Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes, one ranked tenth has already fallen.”

”What!” Zuo Feiqing’s pupils contracted, ”Even the Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes have perished?”

”Exactly.” Xu Zhengfeng clenched his fist, saying solemnly, ”Do you know to where the Barbarian squad was eventually forced?”

”Where?”

”Death Soul Demon Abyss!” Xu Zhengfeng took a deep breath and said slowly.

”Wha... what?”

Zuo Feiqing’s eyelids twitched slightly; when he was young, he had trained in the Land of Conquest, so he naturally understood what kind of place the Death Soul Demon Abyss is.

Martial Arts Experts entering the Death Soul Demon Abyss have their Elemental Power suppressed, and the deeper they go, the greater the suppression. Once the Elemental Power is sealed, an ordinary Martial Artist is akin to being a common person, and even a wild beast could become a lethal threat.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation, the greater the suppression; the lower the Cultivation Realm, the lesser the suppression.

”It turns out to be Death Soul Demon Abyss; no wonder even the Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes would fall there.”

Zuo Feiqing sighed lightly, contemplating for a long time before speaking slowly, ”This Barbarian hidden in the Death Soul Demon Abyss is a sharp dagger stabbed into our heart and must be cleared soon, or our actions will be restricted everywhere, leaving us with no chance of winning if war breaks out.”

”Indeed.” Xu Zhengfeng nodded, glanced at Zuo Feiqing, and said solemnly, ”Left Hall Master, what is your plan?”

”Time is of the essence. Besides bringing three thousand regular reinforcements this time, I also followed the Sect Leader’s intention, leading fifteen elite teams here for training. Their cultivation is not too high, perfect for entering the Death Soul Demon Abyss to hunt the Barbarian squad hidden within.”

”That can’t be!”

Xu Zhengfeng quickly said, ”The disciples of Hall of Conquest have survived countless combats; even they couldn’t walk out of Death Soul Demon Abyss alive, let alone disciples inexperienced in the world. Sending them there would only increase casualties.”

”These people are the future pillars of the sect; they absolutely mustn’t fall like this. Let them stay in the Mountain City for logistics. As for those entering the Death Soul Demon Abyss, I will reconsider.”

”Logistics?”

Zuo Feiqing shook his head, smiling bitterly, ”Without trials and tribulations, how can they become pillars? Elder Xu also shouldn’t underestimate these young people. Besides, they came here full of fighting spirit, but end up doing logistics in the Land of Conquest; such a decision might hurt these youngsters’ morale.”

”This...”

Xu Zhengfeng thought carefully, eventually nodding in agreement. Zuo Feiqing’s words had some truth.

”Fine, but they also need to be tested to see if they have the ability to survive in the Death Soul Demon Abyss.”

Xu Zhengfeng stood up and said, ”Coincidentally, there’s a wave of Barbarian Scouts hovering a thousand miles away, spying on our army’s movements, numbering about thirty to forty people; let these young ones show their skills. I’ll have people observe and record from the sidelines, and only the teams with outstanding performance will qualify to enter the Death Soul Demon Abyss, otherwise going there is just suicide.”

”Alright, let’s do that then!”

Jingfeng Palace Master nodded in agreement; speaking by strength, this is the survival law of the Land of Conquest.
