"Attack together, kill them!"
Blood Cavalry Emperor rode a skeletal behemoth, his blood-colored spear carrying a sky-toppling bloody light, thrusting straight at Zhang Huanyun's lower back.
Flame Demon Emperor brandished his twin blades, with countless blade lights burning with Abyssal flames sealing off all of Cao Dezhi's space to evade.
Lord of Shadow Abyss merged into the shadows, ready to launch a fatal sneak attack at any moment.
Three-Headed Demon Bear Emperor and Purple-Winged Dragon Demon rushed forward once more; five Abyss Emperor were simultaneously besieging two humans.
Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun stood back-to-back, one with Sword Intent sweeping across, the other protected by a bright mirror, coordinating seamlessly.
Every swing of Cao Dezhi's Ruthless Sword could tear through the Seal of Abyssal energy, forcing the emperors to dodge.
Zhang Huanyun's Bright Mirror Domain constantly reflected attacks and mirrored the opponent's Moves, making the Abyss Emperor feel restricted.
"Ruthless Sword Intent, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"
The four Sword Souls behind Cao Dezhi soared into the sky at the same time, merging with the Ruthless Sword in his hand. Thousands of silver sword shadows instantly appeared in the sky, pouring down toward the five Abyss Emperor like a torrential rain.
Flame Demon Emperor roared, crossing his twin blades as a giant flame shield appeared before him. However, as the sword rain fell, the flame shield was instantly pierced. Countless streaks of Sword Gang left dense wounds on its body, and the Abyssal flames dimmed significantly.
Blood Cavalry Emperor's skeletal behemoth was pierced by several streaks of Sword Gang, letting out a mournful cry before crashing to the ground. Blood Cavalry Emperor himself was also struck by the Sword Gang; the bone armor on his chest shattered, and he flew backward, spitting dark green blood.
The battle at the Peak was fought fiercely.
The other Blood Gods, however, were already exhausted.
Ba Emperor took a step forward, and a deep trench split open in the ground.
It looked down at Blood Eight, who was kneeling on the ground, and raised its massive beastly palm.
"I'll start with you."
Blood Eight looked up.
She didn't dodge, nor could she. She could barely even stand; how could she dodge?
She just watched as that giant palm fell.
Her last thought was... Damn it, I haven't even gotten married yet.
The giant palm fell.
Boom—!
For some unknown reason, Blood Eight was mysteriously shifted elsewhere, dodging the strike.
Ba Emperor's expression didn't change, assuming someone from the opposite side had stepped in to help.
The powerhouses of the Blood God Legion, however, were secretly surprised and suspicious.
High above, Unfeeling Douluo and Zhang Huanyun were naturally paying attention to the battlefield at all times.
Seeing this, Zhang Huanyun wondered to himself: was there a hidden expert in his legion?
It didn't make sense.
Unfeeling Douluo's eyes showed he was deep in thought; he remembered the intelligence Sentimental Douluo had sent not long ago.
"Well done!" Zhang Huanyun laughed loudly, his Battle Intent growing even stronger.
The Bright Mirror Domain erupted with full force, reflecting the attacks of Three-Headed Demon Bear Emperor and Purple-Winged Dragon Demon simultaneously. At the same time, a Bright Mirror Longsword condensed in his hand. He thrust it backward, accurately piercing Purple-Winged Dragon Demon's shoulder and pinning it in mid-air!
Cao Dezhi seized the opportunity, his figure flickering as he instantly appeared before Purple-Winged Dragon Demon. With the extreme sharpness of the Ruthless Sword, he pierced its head with a single strike!
"No!"
Purple-Winged Dragon Demon let out a shrill, miserable scream. Its massive body was instantly turned into dust under the strangulation of the Ruthless Sword Intent.
Another Abyssal Emperor slain with a single sword!
The entire battlefield fell silent for a moment, then the soldiers of the Blood God Legion erupted in deafening cheers!
"Blood One is mighty!" "Legion Commander is mighty!"
But Cao Dezhi's expression did not relax in the slightest; instead, it became even more solemn.
He could clearly sense that deep within the Abyss Passage, an even more terrifying aura was slowly awakening.
Sure enough, at that moment, a cold, pleasant, yet extremely chilling female voice rang out across the entire battlefield:
"Interesting. I didn't expect that after six thousand years, there would still be a powerhouse like you in the human World."
Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a figure slowly walking out from the depths of the Abyss Passage.
She looked no different from a human woman, covered entirely in black leather. Two black wings were spread behind her back, and she was extremely beautiful. Her long black hair was spread out behind her head like a disc, and her eyes were filled with a piercing chill.
Black Emperor!
Zhang Huanyun's face changed drastically, and he instantly tightened his grip on the longsword in his hand.
The Clan Chief of the Black Empress Clan, the ninth-ranked Sovereign of the Abyss, capable of facing a human Limit Douluo wearing four-word battle armor head-on!
Black Emperor's gaze fell upon Cao Dezhi, and a cold smile curled on her lips: "So it was you who killed my subordinates?"
Before she had even finished speaking, the black Hair Wheel behind her head suddenly rotated. The profound blackness was like a giant black hole that instantly opened. The light within the entire passage, and even the silver light emitted by Cao Dezhi's Sword Intent, was partially swallowed in an instant.
"Not good!"
Cao Dezhi felt his strength failing him. He held the Ruthless Sword across his chest, and his Unfeeling Domain contracted with all its might to protect himself.
But the devouring power of that black hole was too terrifying; the Sword Intent around him was being constantly swallowed and dissolved.
The damage he had sustained earlier deep in the passage was too great; otherwise, as a Quasi-God, he could have easily wiped out a mere Black Emperor at his Peak.
At the same time, Three-Headed Demon Bear Emperor, Flame Demon Emperor, Lord of Shadow Abyss, Ant Emperor, and more than ten others attacked, besieging Cao Dezhi!
"Damn it!"
Zhang Huanyun roared, wanting to step forward to help, but Black Emperor waved her hand, and a demonic mist instantly blocked him. That black mist seemed capable of devouring everything; even his Bright Mirror Domain was being corroded and constantly shrinking.
Cao Dezhi was attacked from both front and back and besieged by the emperors.
The situation underwent an instant Reversal!
Cao Dezhi looked at the heavily injured Blood Gods lying on the ground below, and a flash of crimson crossed his eyes.
It wasn't just these emperors before him; there were even more terrifying powerhouses deep in the passage who had severely wounded him and had yet to appear.
He suddenly looked up, and the Ruthless Sword in his hand let out a deafening sword hum.
A silver Sword Gang capable of splitting heaven and earth suddenly erupted, instantly breaking through the black hole's devouring and slashing fiercely in front of Black Emperor!
Black Emperor's expression changed, and she finally put away her contempt. She crossed her hands, and a giant shield condensed from demonic mist appeared before her.
"Boom!!!"
The Sword Gang collided with the demonic shield, causing the entire Abyss Passage to shake violently. Black Emperor's figure retreated repeatedly, a trace of dark green blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She had just sensed a mortal crisis; she had almost died!
How was that possible?!
But Cao Dezhi was not doing well either; his aura withered, and his face was as pale as paper.
"Old Cao!" Zhang Huanyun rushed over and supported him, his Bright Mirror Domain expanding to its full extent to protect them both.
"Huanyun, we can't delay any longer," Cao Dezhi whispered, panting heavily. "Activate the Blood God Grand Array! At all costs, re-activate the Seal!"
A flash of hesitation appeared in Zhang Huanyun's eyes: "But the Seal has been broken; even activating the grand array won't have much effect."
"Moreover, you and the other Blood Gods must guard the Array Cores and won't be able to take action! Right now, most of the Blood Gods are heavily injured; the power of the grand array won't be fully realized, and more emperors will surely charge out!"
"Even if we can't stop them, we must. We have no choice." Cao Dezhi suddenly looked up, a look of determination in his eyes. "Nine Great Blood Gods, with me as the core, even if we only have one breath left, we must hold up the grand array! You lead the legion and block the Abyssal Creatures that charge out! We have no way back!"
