Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1415: Chapter 1416: The Cruel Outcome

The crowd was abuzz, completely astounded by Ye Luo’s strength!

Of course, there was no way they could know that Ye Luo practiced a special Cultivation Method and, in fact, possessed a cultivation level no less impressive than that of a Qi Cyclone Realm of the Third Realm!

But what was this ”awakening” they spoke of?

Li Long had been silent all along, but now, he suddenly spoke up: ”Go, prepare the awakening ritual. If this kid makes it back alive, I will personally perform his awakening!”

Everyone looked at Li Long in surprise. Awakening was very special among the Border Guards, an existence coveted by every warrior in their dreams. But unexpectedly, Li Long actually intended to make an exception for a young man who hadn’t even joined the Border Guards yet!

Of course, no one would defy Li Long’s orders, for they had all witnessed Ye Luo’s potential. At the same time, they understood that if Ye Luo returned, he would already be one of their Border Guard members. Ye Luo’s strength was, in reality, an augmentation of the Border Guards’ power!

Afterward, their gazes returned once again to the battlefield projection.

At this moment, Ye Luo and his team were hastily making repairs. A Mechanist could indeed unleash powerful combat abilities and fight using technology, but there was one rather frustrating aspect for them: after each battle, they had to spend time retrieving the equipment they had set up, unless they decided to abandon it, of course.

However, Mechanists could assemble various technological weapons precisely because of these components, so unless absolutely necessary, they would not abandon them.

These mechanical parts were like Ye Luo’s Lingyun Sword, their weapons of combat, their arms, so how could they easily give them up?

While the Mechanist hurriedly collected his components, Ye Luo and the others were also recovering their strength.

But as Ye Luo and his team rested, other battlefields were still engaged in difficult battles!

Among them, a large team of over a hundred people was currently suffering a devastating attack!

This group of more than a hundred had been playing it safe initially, luring and killing only a handful of Demon Beasts, at most a dozen or so!

But since they numbered over a hundred, and the previous battles had been smooth, they became emboldened to target the nest of a Beast Race.

Demon Beasts generally live in groups, and each group would have a nest.

If one were to use a more vivid analogy, such a nest could be likened to a Demon Beast family!

The nest coveted by these hundred-plus people was situated in a valley, a location that was far from ideal, with mountains on all sides and the nest built right in the center, populated by only about thirty Demon Beasts.

On the surface, it seemed that taking down the Demon Beast nest with their numbers would not pose any problem.

But what they absolutely did not expect was that inside this Demon Beast nest there was a terrifying leader!

Each Demon Beast group would have a leader, which wasn’t anything strange in itself, but usually, the strength of these leaders wouldn’t be too overpowering since they were all part of the same group.

However, having placed too much confidence in the texts, they forgot that this was beyond the border walls!

The Border Guards would occasionally conduct large-scale purges of the surrounding Demon Beasts. The purpose of this was to slaughter all the surrounding beasts, thereby creating a safe space.

Yet, if any Demon Beasts survived these purges, they were undoubtedly formidable beings.

In fact, the beast they were facing this time was one of such survivors!

In front of them, the common Demon Beasts’ strength was merely of the Third or Fourth Realm Qi Cyclone level, but that Beast Leader had actually reached the Sixth Realm Qi Cyclone level!

What exactly is the concept of a Six Realm Qi Cyclone?

It must be noted that the physical strength of Demon Beasts is already incredibly robust, and their reserves of Spiritual Power are even stronger than those of the Human Race, so it can be said that a Demon Beast of the Six Realm Qi Cyclone is comparable to a Qi Cyclone Realm expert of the seventh level!

Therefore, when this Demon Beast appeared, it was fated that these people would experience a tragedy.

Moreover, these people were not united. When the leader of the Demon Beasts appeared, some began to flee in terror.

It’s a shame that if they had fought with all their might, perhaps by sacrificing a portion of their number, they might have been able to hold off the leader of the Demon Beasts and save some of their group. But the cost of fleeing outright meant that no one would likely escape unscathed.

The Border Guard watched everything unfold with a cold gaze, watching as these individuals were hunted down by the leader of the Demon Beasts!

But no one intervened to help, as if the deaths of these people didn’t warrant any attention in their eyes.

...

The battle erupted around the outpost, with cries and shouts of combat ringing out everywhere. Nearly a thousand assessment students were rapidly falling in number.

In every battle, nearly always someone would die or get injured, and then what? In this place, no help would come, so often, those who were injured would likely fall in the next round of combat.

Cruel! Bloody! Cold-blooded and merciless!

Unfortunately, these students had no choice.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed!

During these three days, Ye Luo and the other seven people can be said to have never stopped fighting except for the occasional rest to recover their strength. The rest of the time, they were engaged in relentless combat.

”Phew, we’ve finally completed it. This is the seventieth Demon Beast we have slain. Our task is finally accomplished!”

The Mechanist sat down on the ground with a bump. In fact, over these three days, every one of them was more or less the same. Any chance they got to rest, they would seize it!

Ye Luo also sat down right there. Slaying the seventieth Demon Beast brought a great deal of tranquility to everyone’s hearts.

Suddenly, a figure appeared directly in front of Ye Luo and the others without warning, as if the person had materialized out of thin air.

”Your task is complete. Come with me,” the Border Guard said indifferently. After that, he walked ahead on his own.

Where would Ye Luo and the others dare to hesitate? They immediately followed, afraid that no one would want to continue staying in this dreadful place.

Before long, Ye Luo and the others were back atop the city wall. The only thing was, they didn’t understand how they returned there. They remembered walking just a moment ago, and the next, they were teleported back to the city wall.

At that moment, there were also others who had returned to the top of the city wall, but their expressions were not good!

It turned out that the only reason they managed to return was that they were a bit luckier, or rather, they were simply the last survivors.

This group, which was also originally a team of a hundred people, had been slaying Demon Beasts along the way, but they were also losing members. After repeated battles, they themselves did not even know how many Demon Beasts they had killed.
