Chapter 123

“Ling Tian, I’m afraid today will be your funeral!” Shouted an injured middle-aged man while laughing loudly after seeing the appearance of twelve men in black .

These twelve men in black were different from everyone else . They wore masks that were decorated with dragons design, and they exuded a cold aura as well as a stormy atmosphere that made it clear to everyone that all of them were battle-hardened veterans .

“The Twelve Pillar of the Yan Empire!” One of the elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect murmured in shock after seeing them: ” This is the last and most powerful lines of defense of the Yan Empire, the twelve disciples of the Yan Empire’s Martial Saint!”

It seemed like the Yan Empire had come prepared with their most powerful cards . They wanted to deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect in one fell swoop .

“The Twelve Pillars?” Ling Tian laughed and asked: “You guys think they can stop me by themselves?”

“If you guys want to kill this old man, you’ll need to bring that old bastard Yan Zuntian . ”

These words might seem very arrogant, but it wasn’t all empty talk . Today, there were around twenty Martial Sovereign warriors who died in his hands, including a dozen famous Martial Venerable warriors whose name could turn others pale from fear throughout the Heaven Desolate Region .

Anyone else would be trembling in fear against existences like the Twelve Pillars of the Yan Empire . However, Ling Tian was a domineering man that didn’t give a rat’s ass about them .

“Die!” The injured middle-aged man uttered a loud cry as he pounced towards Ling Tian, trying to put up a last-ditch of struggle .

“You talk too much…” Ling Tian said as he strode forward and then transformed into a savage beam of light that shot toward the Injured middle-aged man with a mighty kick .

Bang!

“Ahh…” The injured middle-aged man shrieked miserably as the powerful mighty kick landed on his chest . The sound of his bones breaking into pieces was so loud that even the soldiers at the endpoint of the battlefield could hear it .

At the same time, they couldn’t help but feel their blood run cold . It was as though the middle-aged man was struck by a giant hammer in the chest as his bones were caved in, and was sent flying into the ground at the same time .

After killing the injured middle-man with his powerful mighty kick, Ling Tian shifted his gaze towards the twelve men in black with an evil smile on his face before saying: ” What are you guys waiting for? If you’re too scared to attack then I guess I’ll make the first move . ”

“So, this is my grandfather . It seems like he’s having fun as well . ” The red hair Ling Lei murmured before he shifted his gaze towards the front line where the Heavenly Demon Sect’s disciples were putting their lives on the lines in order to stop the Yan Imperial soldiers from entering the sect through the gaps .

At this time, there were two young men that were fighting like two crazed lions in front of one of the two gigantic holes made by the God Slaying Cannons . They two of them wildly cried out and fought on the ground, fiercely exchanging blows .

They’ve been fighting for a while and none of them seemed to have the upper hand as they were both evenly matched .

“Let’s go help the 7th Imperial Prince . ” Shouted one of the soldiers as he charged towards one of the two young men that were fiercely fighting in front of one of the two gigantic holes made by the God Slaying Cannons .

” Yeah, let’s help the 7th Imperial Prince kill that bastard . I heard he’s the 2nd son of the Heavenly Demon Venerable . ” Shouted another soldier as he brandished his weapon and followed the other one .

As they were about to sneak attack the 2nd son of the Heavenly Demon Venerable;

Swoosh!

A beam of dark light was suddenly shot out from the sky .

Puchi!

The dark light pierced the first Yan Imperial soldier’s chest!

The beam of dark light tuned out to be a two-meter-long black spear, skewering through the Yan Imperial soldier’s body, and continued through the other soldier, like a sweet skewer…

Boom!

The spear finally stabbed into a boulder next to shield that was protecting the sect .

The spear body penetrated half a meter into the boulder .

The two Yan Imperial soldiers were nailed to the boulder .

“I . . . pff . . . ” It wasn’t until he was nailed to the boulder that the first imperial soldier took on a look of shock, as though unable to understand what had just happened .

He spurted out a mouthful of blood and subconsciously looked down at his chest, only to see a black spear pierced through his body .

Only after did he finally react . Immediately, there was panic and despair across his face, and a low roar began at his throat .

As if that wasn’t enough, the long dark spear suddenly started to suck their blood at a shocking rate .

The dark spear was like a famished vampire . It didn’t take long before it sucked their blood dry as they wrinkled up and ended up as a dry, empty husk .

“Huh?”

Not to mention the 4th imperial prince, even Ling Xiao was astonished after witnessing this scene . He could clearly tell that these two people were trying to sneak attack him while he was battling the 7th imperial prince . However, someone saved him at the last minute .

Who was it?

While he was puzzling over what happened, a red hair youth with a pair of dark devilish wings as well as a pair of curved horns suddenly landed next to him .

“Uncle, you should pay more attention to your surroundings . ” As he said that, the red hair youth pulled out the long dark spear from the dried corpses of the two Yan Imperial soldiers .

Looking at the youth in front of him, Ling Xiao had his mouth wide open from shock . He didn’t know what to say nor did he recognize him .

Not only him, but the sudden appearance of Ling Lei has also attracted the attention of everyone . Whether they were fighting in the sky or on the ground, they all stopped for a moment and looked at the weird human-like creature on the ground .

“Alright, I’m gonna ask all the people that are part of the Heavenly Demon Sect to go inside . ” Flatly said Ling Lei in a cold emotionless tone .

However, even after hearing Ling Lei’s words, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect didn’t move . It was unknown if it was from fear or because they didn’t trust that weird-looking creature though he had just saved the 2nd young master .

” Do what he said . “

Nevertheless, at this moment, a commanding voice that was filled with nobility suddenly rang out in the sky above the sect .

“Sect Master!”

” Father!”

Hearing this voice, everyone from the Heavenly Demon Sect knew who it belonged to . This was the voice of their sect master, the Heavenly Demon Venerable .

The moment they heard that voice, they all fell back and retreated . Though they didn’t trust that devil looking creature, they had absolute trust in the sect master .

Because the Yan Imperial soldiers didn’t know what the devil looking youth was up to, they didn’t dare to make any reckless move while they all stayed vigilant .

Soon after the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect retreated back into the sect, a strange thing occurred .

A dense black cloud mixed with back lightning poured out from the body of the red hair youth . It was like black lava and gave off an extremely evil air .

At the same time, a great pressure spread out from the demonic clouds, and a heavy and evil atmosphere filled the entire area .

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the demonic black lightning cloud exploded forth and spread forward like a tidal wave or tsunami toward the Yan Imperial soldiers, trying to submerge them .

Ahhh!

A shrill scream suddenly resounded as an imperial soldier that made contact with the demonic lightning cloud was incinerated into ashes and slowly died .

Witnessing this scene, everyone felt a chill running down their spines . Not just the Yan Imperial soldiers, but also the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect .

“Run…”

At this moment, everyone was scared shitless; even the arrogant 7th Imperial Prince was also deathly pale . He yelled and turned around to escape .

Within a blink of an eye, the shrill screams continued to resound time and time again as many Yan Imperial soldiers were caught by the demonic black lightning cloud .

The Yan Imperial soldiers had all lost their minds and turned around to runway . None of them wanted to fight against the demonic black lightning clouds .

The demonic black lightning cloud instantly incinerated anything that came in contact with it like a pot of molten lava, even their weapons .

So how the heck are they gonna fight against something like that?

As the demonic black lightning cloud continued to spread forward, several tens of thousands of soldiers were being incinerated . No matter if they Martial Grandmaster, Martial Lord, the moment they made contact with the black demonic lightning cloud, they would instantly turn into charcoals .

It was quite frightening . Even the grasses on the ground were turned into ashes-indicative of the demonic black lightning cloud’ might

At this moment, nonstop screams for their mothers and fathers filled the air . All of the Yan Imperial soldiers wished they could immediately leave this hellish wasteland .

“Flee ahhh…”

Not only were the warriors that were in the front lines running, but also the warriors that were at the back . Regardless of where one was, all would turn around and run .

Ahh!” Mountains made out of corpses were piling up . The bodies fell down continuously wherever the black clouds passed and the stench of burning flesh filled the air .

“Noo!!!” One of the Yan Imperial Prince couldn’t escape in time . His slow reaction was rewarded with getting struck by the demonic black lightning cloud . Even a prince was turned into dust not to mention the other regular soldiers .

Once the demonic black lightning cloud got closed to Fang Lan who was still smashing the Yan Imperial soldiers left and right into smithereens, it formed a protective circle around him and continued to move forward .

After all of the Yan Imperial soldiers had retreated far away from the battlefield as well as out of its reach, the demonic black lightning cloud started to recede back into Ling Lei’s body like a tidal wave .
