Chapter 392 Come out and face your death
Zheng Qian's rescue speed was very fast. He carried back more than a hundred people in no time. The Radiant Legion's medical team was very effective. Minor injuries were treated immediately, so as not to affect the geniuses' ability to continue to participate in the battle.
Lei Ruichen stopped attacking. Ma Haoli had been pinned to the cliff by an arrow, instantly causing morale to plummet. He needed to find an opportunity to kill the demon prodigy; otherwise, today's battle would end in their humiliating escape.
"Brothers, advance ten meters, kill!" Lei Ruichen advanced instead of retreating, using himself as the spearhead to penetrate deep into the battle formation of the Flaming Leopard and the Shadow Serpent.
Lei Ruichen had observed that when Ma Haoli was hit by the arrow, the arrow was as fast as lightning and much more powerful than the arrow of He Zhoujia, the leader of the Yuren tribe.
Lei Ruichen's idea was very simple: he wanted to block the sneak attack head-on, find the attacker, and kill him. Only in this way could he boost morale.
"Lei Ruichen, you dare to charge alone? Die!" Lieha's flames burned even hotter as he attacked Lei Ruichen from the front, blocking his advance.
"Hehe, today is the day to slay a human prodigy and earn military merits." Feng Lie sneered. As the representative of the Shadow Serpent in the Demon Transformation Realm, his combat strength was comparable to Lei Ruichen's, and he was not afraid to fight him at all.
Now that Ma Haoli is injured, Lei Ruichen has actually broken away from the battle formation by five meters and is using him as the spearhead to charge forward, which is simply courting death.
Based on past battles, Lei Ruichen's fighting style would have been perfectly fine, but today, the demon race has powerful support.
Lei Ruichen is doomed.
The Battle Hammer is Lei Ruichen's best companion after mastering the Thunderstorm Technique. Each strike contains the power of thunder, enough to terrify any enemy.
The 13,000-jin battle hammer emitted a spiritual light, and when it was swung, not a single demon dared to step forward to meet it head-on. Lieha of the Flaming Leopard Clan dared not take it, Feng Lie of the Shadow Serpent Clan dared not take it, and He Zhoujia, the demon prodigy of the Yuren Clan, also dared not take it.
Lei Ruichen relied on his own strength to charge into the demon race's battle formation.
Unbeknownst to him, the demonic Yu Ren, Tong Yuan, was hidden within the Yu Ren army, already drawing his bow and aiming an arrow at him.
Reiha and Fenglie recklessly attacked Lei Ruichen, creating an opportunity for Tongyuan, who was hiding in the shadows and carrying out a sneak attack.
Despite fighting two opponents alone, Lei Ruichen's bravery remained undiminished. After hundreds of rounds, although he failed to advance more than five meters, he was not at a disadvantage either.
"Thunder Hammer Break!" Lei Ruichen roared, and his figure suddenly rose up. The Battle Hammer, carrying rolling thunder, slammed into the ground. Instantly, the earth shook and lightning spread everywhere, as if even the sky was torn apart by this blow.
Lei Ruichen's attack successfully repelled Lieha and Feng Lie, and no demon dared to approach within a ten-meter radius, all keeping their distance and paving a new path for his advance.
Just then, Kirito moved. He released the bowstring, and the arrow ignited with purple flames. With a whoosh, it pierced through space, appearing instantly at Lei Ruichen's heart like a purple dragon.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lei Ruichen had long ago deduced that the Yuren tribe had archers as support. Confident in his abilities, he used himself as bait, determined to lure out the Yuren archers and then kill them.
Spiritual energy surged forth from Lei Ruichen's center, and he raised the Battle Hammer high, crackling with lightning, before smashing it onto the arrow.
With a whoosh, the space vibrated. As if it had its own consciousness, the arrow bent and changed direction the moment Zhan Jin's hammer fell, and shot into Lei Ruichen's right shoulder with a whoosh.
*Clang...* The arrow trembled, and Lei Ruichen's body flew backward uncontrollably, pinned to the ground by the arrow. *Clang* The Zhan Jin Hammer also landed beside him.
Lei Ruichen was defeated in his battle with Kirito.
The sudden turn of events caught the human forces off guard. They stared blankly at Lei Ruichen, their eyes filled with confusion.
Both walls of the Shaping Dragon Void Cliff have been breached. One person is pinned to the cliff, and the other is pinned to the ground. How can they continue fighting?
Zhao Minghang's face was grim. He couldn't make a move because he was a True Core Realm expert; if he attacked in the Dragon Shaping Realm battlefield, it would violate the rules of the battlefield. Xiao Ling's eyes were equally cold. Many people died on the battlefield every day; breaking the rules would only lead to more deaths. Therefore, he couldn't make a move either.
Demons are generally not killed; capturing them alive yields more benefits and military merits.
Regardless of the level, capturing a living monster will double your military merits.
Lei Ruichen was only momentarily distracted before reaching out his left hand to grab the arrow, attempting to remove it. However, the arrow still retained the spiritual energy of the Kiri ape and was deeply embedded in the ground, seemingly bound to the earth by a spiritual connection, remaining completely still.
"Haha, Lei Ruichen, die!" Lie Ha laughed loudly. He pounced on Lei Ruichen on the ground amidst the flames, and a ball of purple flame appeared in his palm as he slammed it down towards Lei Ruichen.
If this move were to hit, Lei Ruichen's body would be shattered into pieces.
Just as Lei Ruichen was in despair, a figure blocked his way.
"Explosive Slash".
With a roar, the world turned blood red, and a heavy sword carrying endless killing intent appeared out of nowhere, slashing at Lieha's claws.
Bang... The heavy sword first slashed at the claws of the Explosive Ha, its momentum undiminished, and then cleaved the Explosive Ha in two.
As the sky filled with crimson flames, the person standing in front of Lei Ruichen remained as still as Mount Tai.
"Zheng Qian?" Lei Ruichen shouted in disbelief, never expecting that it was Zheng Qian who had saved his life.
What Lei Ruichen found even more unbelievable was that Lie Ha's combat strength was on par with his own; they had fought over a hundred times, each with their own victories and defeats. Yet, Lie Ha couldn't even block a single sword strike from Zheng Qian.
Doesn't that mean I can't withstand Zheng Qian's sword strike either?
Ma Haoli swallowed hard. He knew all too well how strong Lieha was. Just now, he had fought Lieha for five hundred rounds before being ambushed and pinned to a cliff by an arrow. And Lieha had actually been cleaved in two with a single sword strike. Didn't that mean that if he fought Zheng Qian, he would also be cleaved in two with a single sword strike?
Strong, very strong.
Lei Ruichen and Ma Haoli understood that from now on, the title of "Twin Peaks of the Dragon-Shaping Void Cliff" would become a foundation for Zheng Qian's rise. No matter how brave they had been before, they were the cornerstone supporting Zheng Qian's strength.
Zhao Minghang and Xiao Ling stared wide-eyed at Zheng Qian, their hearts pounding. They knew perfectly well how strong Lei Ruichen and Ma Haoli were; both of them had fought hundreds, even thousands, of times against Lie Ha, Feng Lie, and He Zhoujia, and neither of them could defeat the other.
Zheng Qian's sword strike cleaved the Explosive Ha, and the battle at the Dragon Transformation Cliff was about to shift, with the human race gaining the upper hand over the demon race.
Feng Lie, with his snake-like body arched, had just launched a fearless attack on Lei Ruichen, determined to kill him and seize the military merit.
Lieha was much faster than Fenglie, so Fenglie was so anxious that he was shaking, wishing he could grow legs and rush over to swallow Lei Ruichen whole.
Just then, a heart-pounding killing intent erupted, and a blood-red sword light shone. Lieha was then cleaved in two by a single sword strike. Feng Lie managed to steady himself and did not advance to attack, but instead retreated fifty meters.
Danger, too dangerous.
Not only did Feng Lie retreat, but the Flame Leopard Clan and the Shadow Serpent Clan also retreated. The pressure from the humans in front was too strong, and they instinctively retreated fifty meters to maintain a relatively safe distance.
Zheng Qian watched the demons retreat without pursuing them, then turned to give Lei Ruichen a sunny smile before raising the Dragon Scale Void-Breaking Sword and pointing it at Tong Yuan.
"You piece of trash who shot the snipe, come out and face your death."
