Chapter 370 Slaying a Ninth-Rank Official Through the Passage
Wu Kuishan was still introducing himself when Nan Yunyue, who was at the very front, shouted:
"Ready to take position!"
Upon hearing this, all the Grandmasters began to move. "You all go down the mountain first. If you want to go in, follow the last batch," Wu Kuishan hurriedly said. After he finished speaking, he walked towards the eighth-rank group, while Lu Hao also walked towards the ninth-rank group at the front. The first batch to enter were these ninth-rank members. There were still a few Grandmasters on the surrounding mountains who had not yet landed but were guarding the four directions.
As several ninth-rank grandmasters retrieved their divine weapons from their Sanjiao Gates, Lu Hao didn't show off. He took out the God-Slaying Blade, since if he wanted to kill with one blow, he would definitely have to make it look like a full-force attack.
All the martial artists took out their divine weapons. However, not many seventh or eighth-rank martial artists had divine weapons, since they were difficult to obtain. On the other hand, the Zhenxing City team was fully equipped with divine weapons, which was not surprising, since Zhenxing City had so many supreme masters who could obtain them by killing one or two monsters.
Below, Nan Yunyue, wielding a short sword, shouted, "Ninth-rank martial artist, prepare to enter!"
Upon hearing this, the ninth-rank martial artists stepped forward one after another, and Lu Hao also prepared to attack. The ten ninth-rank martial artists erupted together, tearing apart the surrounding sky and piercing a large hole in the clouds. The atmosphere around them was silent, and everyone was paying attention to the movement in the passage. The arrow was on the bowstring, ready to attack at any moment. The next moment, Nan Yunyue suddenly shouted!
"Enter!"
Upon hearing Nan Yunyue's order, Lu Hao immediately entered the passage. As soon as he entered, he saw many underground martial artists, at least several hundred high-grade ones, and countless mid-to-low-grade ones.
Nan Yunyue had already engaged the opposing force. Lu Hao glanced at the situation and instantly grasped the composition of the underground cave's forces: there were 14 ninth-rank cultivators, four more than their side. Crucially, these were only those who had entered the passage; he didn't know how many more ninth-rank cultivators remained outside to guard it. He needed to eliminate one or two first, otherwise, the fight would become increasingly difficult. After making his decision, Lu Hao unleashed over 300,000 to nearly 400,000 units of his Qi and Blood, instantly enveloping his entire body. Anyone who saw him would know that Lu Hao was not to be trifled with. The next moment, Lu Hao appeared beside a ninth-rank demonic beast. "Divine Slash!"
"No!"
Rumble rumble rumble!
With a single slash, accompanied by a scream and the roar of blood and qi, a ninth-grade demon beast resembling a peacock was instantly cleaved in two by Lu Hao. At the same time, Lu Hao's spiritual power did not slacken, completely annihilating the spiritual power of the peacock demon.
With a simple reach, he put the large peacock into his storage space. After all, Haolie was a ninth-grade divine weapon, and he could give it to anyone who needed it when he got back.
As for why they chose to kill a ninth-rank demon beast.
Even before descending, Nan Yunyue had instructed that if possible, the priority should be given to eliminating members of the Demon Fate lineage. After all, this was the first war between the Demon Fate lineage and humans in the Tiannan Cavern, and with such heavy casualties, the possibility of continuing the fight to the death was slim.
They are more likely to be intimidated and retreat. Unlike the demonic plant lineage, they are not constantly fighting and will definitely not back down in battle.
Therefore, we should first target and kill the demon lineage. This way, the demon beasts will frighten the demon lineage and make them retreat, which would be perfect.
Before the ninth-rank enemy on the other side could react, Lu Hao had already killed one of them.
"Great! Lucky you!"
"Axe King shouted. As soon as he entered, he saw Lu Hao's slash. The ninth-rank opponent was instantly killed. He didn't expect that Lu Hao, who had just broken through, would be so powerful and kill a ninth-rank opponent directly. You know, once you reach the eighth rank, you can say that you don't have any major weaknesses, let alone the ninth rank. But even so, a ninth-rank opponent was instantly killed by Lu Hao.
Meanwhile, those in the underground cave also reacted. A ninth-rank city lord and a ninth-rank demonic plant launched an attack on Lu Hao. The two were from the same city and cooperated well. They also had life essence and seemed to be trying to hold Lu Hao back. After all, Lu Hao's previous strike had frightened them. He had killed a ninth-rank person in an instant. If they put themselves in his shoes, they didn't think they could withstand that strike either.
To avoid making a huge fuss, Lu Hao didn't use too much of his qi and blood against these two ninth-rank opponents, maintaining only a little over 300,000, which is considered strong among ninth-rank opponents. He just made them think it was some kind of explosive secret technique.
With all nine ranks of humans entering, Lu Hao, Nan Yunyue, and Zhang Weiyu each dealt with two of the nine ranks, while the remaining people each faced one.
Some eighth-rank underground cultivators who thought they were strong also got involved, but they were usually beaten out in one or two moves. The current situation is not bad, at least the humans are not at a disadvantage.
Lu Hao was easily taking on two opponents at once, and even had time to observe the situation on the field. After all, his true strength had reached its peak, and if he really wanted to, killing the two ninth-rank cultivators in front of him would be a matter of the blink of an eye.
Outside, everyone watched the entrance to the passage with serious expressions. As soon as Lu Hao and his group entered, an extremely dense burst of energy erupted. This indicated that a battle between Ninth-Rank cultivators was taking place in the passage, and they had not yet managed to drive their opponent out. The energy fluctuations from the Ninth-Rank battle traveled through the passage, and the instant the energy tide erupted, it not only shattered the alloy house but also completely leveled some small hills.
The grandmasters outside quickly intervened and calmed the energy fluctuations.
About ten seconds later, a military officer with a square face stepped forward and shouted, "Eighth-rank official, enter!"
The next moment, after more than twenty eighth-rank martial artists entered, the energy vibration in the passage became even more intense. A burst of energy erupted, destroying everything around it. Fortunately, there were grandmasters present to guard the area, preventing the energy from leaking out.
Just as all the seventh-rank cultivators were worried about the situation inside the passage, several figures stepped out of the vortex in the next moment.
The seventh-rank grandmasters didn't even bother to see who the newcomers were before unleashing their ultimate moves, instantly obliterating them. This was part of a pre-battle plan: after the eighth-rank masters entered, a few seventh-rank masters would be allowed to slip through, and the remaining seventh-rank masters would be eliminated at the entrance of the passage. Otherwise, with so many seventh-rank masters on the other side, the grandmasters wouldn't be able to withstand the onslaught. As for why the eighth-rank masters weren't allowed to leave, they possessed golden bones, making them impossible to kill instantly unless one could completely overwhelm them. If an eighth-rank master were to cause damage, all their efforts would be in vain.
After waiting a few more moments without any response from the passage, a middle-aged man in military uniform shouted, "Enter!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the seventh-rank grandmasters stepped into the vortex.
Inside the passage, after seeing all the grandmasters enter, "kick them out of the passage."
Nan Yunyue roared, and the next moment she unleashed her power, forcing the two ninth-rank warriors on the other side to retreat in defeat. They quickly reached the entrance of the passage. After hearing Nan Yunyue's words, all the high-rank warriors began to exert their strength, driving the underground cave warriors towards the outer passage entrance. Lu Hao also stopped taking advantage of the chaos, unleashing his qi and blood, and forcing the two ninth-rank warriors on the other side to retreat towards the passage.
