Chapter 2017 - 2048: Slaughter for the Prize (Part 1)
When those Xuan God cultivators were all silently drawing close to the Big Cauldron up ahead, the Fierce Beasts that had been locked in battle with Ye Feng and the other Lords' cultivations also, without meaning to, slipped away from the positions they had originally been guarding.Even the killing ground itself was gradually shifting, from the inner ring outward.
And as for the Lords' cultivations who passed by them, they actually seemed to ignore them entirely.
Likewise, those Lord cultivators who were fighting together with the Fierce Beasts, upon seeing the Xuan God cultivators flying past them, were also somewhat powerless.
For at this moment, the strength they themselves possessed could only barely block the Fierce Beasts' attacks that were being blasted at them from the front.
As for those Lords' cultivations passing by their sides, it was naturally difficult for them to have any effect in stopping or slaughtering them.
When most of the Lord cultivators saw their own Xuan God cultivators drawing nearer to the front, a trace of joy appeared on all their faces.
Even on Ye Feng's face there was some visible stir of emotion.
Within the entire field, only Xue Sha and Wu Xie were absolutely solitary individuals, and at a time like this, they were without doubt the most disadvantaged side.
They looked at those Xuan God cultivators heading toward the Big Cauldron, killing intent blazing on their bodies, yet they had not the slightest way to deal with it.
The two of them exchanged a glance, and Xue Sha spoke in a gloomy voice: "Everyone, we are fighting with all our strength, yet there are people who want to seize the fruits of victory amid the chaos. Isn't this a bit too much?"
As soon as these words came out, the Lords' cultivations present all let out a cold snort, and Yuan Tian even mocked, "Before creation, there is no such thing as 'too much'; there is only the distinction between who gains the creation and who loses the creation."
What Yuan Tian said was precisely what the vast majority of the cultivators present were thinking in their hearts, and it was also what those present were hoping for.
Although most of the people present did not understand why, on Yuan Tian's side, there was not a single Xuan God cultivator, yet at this time he still spoke such words.
But they did not think further on it and continued to fight with all their strength against the Fierce Beasts before them.
As for Xue Sha and Wu Xie, after hearing Yuan Tian's words, their expressions changed once again.
Their gazes toward Yuan Tian also became especially grim and icy cold, and in their hearts there surged an even stronger killing intent.
"Dao friend, what great ability you have, to dare to say such words at a time like this. Very good, then I, this venerable one, will see how you intend to obtain that so‑called creation." Xue Sha said coldly, and once more clashed with the Fierce Beast that was fiercely charging at him.
Battle‑fire flared up rapidly, baking this secret chamber until it was bright as day; a powerful scorching force spread out here, making the whole place feel as though covered under blazing sun.
Ye Feng was also battling a golden Fierce Beast before him while at the same time casting his gaze toward those Xuan God cultivators moving ahead.
Under his gaze, Green was at this moment walking at the very back; even so, Ye Feng could clearly feel it.
Once the might on that Big Cauldron began to subside a little, Green would likely be the fastest to act among these Xuan God cultivators.
For on Green's person, there existed a Divine Communication Pill.
With such Power of Elixir, so long as Green could withstand the impact of this Elixir, then as long as he did not die under that terrifying impact, Green would definitely be one of the outstanding ones among these Xuan God cultivators.
However, just as all the Xuan God cultivators' steps drew once again toward where the Big Cauldron stood, Ye Feng's brows suddenly furrowed.
A bad feeling had just begun to surface in his heart, and his eyes turned much colder.
He immediately transmitted with Divine Sense to Green: "Let them have it."
When these words fell into Green's ears, Green's expression changed, and the steps with which he had been moving forward instantly halted.
After that pause, Green no longer made any movement at all, simply standing there as if a puppet, his whole person sinking into stillness.
The other Xuan God cultivators, however, at this time all had bright light blazing in their eyes, and they charged madly forward like lunatics.
"Whoever dares ruin our good thing today will be killed without mercy."
"This place is our domain; if anyone dares snatch from us, then afterward we will surely make that person pay a bloody price."
"We will not repeat these words. If anyone dares violate this rule, then regardless of who stands behind you, death is your only outcome."
"..."
As these Xuan God cultivators charged forward, their faces were filled with chilling killing intent, and the words that came from their mouths were all grim and severe.
At the very first utterance of these threats, some of the weaker Xuan God cultivators hesitated in their steps.
Even though these Xuan God cultivators had originally come together, under such threats they all felt a chill run through their bodies.
Between the choice of life and treasure, they without doubt all chose life.
Yet just as this choice had barely been made, and just as a look of complacency and cold laughter surfaced on the faces of those who had spoken the threats, those who had only just halted their steps all moved again at once.
"Whoever you may be, whatever your status, as long as I can obtain the treasure, that alone is enough to complete this journey to the Divine Demon Relics."
"Even if we leave this place, do you truly think that in this vast world you can exterminate us all? What a colossal joke. Whether we can walk out of here alive is still uncertain, and yet you dare threaten us—truly courting death."
"Yes, everyone, since these few dare threaten us, why don't we gather everyone's strength and kill them all here?"
Those who had only just stopped, as they moved again, voiced all of these words.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was almost no discussion and no need for any pause; everyone immediately launched fierce attacks, charging to slaughter those who had first spoken the threats.
At once, earth‑shaking sounds of slaughter resounded throughout this place.
And Green, who was standing there like a block of wood, merely watching the battlefield ahead, had his pupils contract, and his heart trembled as well.
Cold sweat poured out all over his body.
If not for Ye Feng's timely warning just now, then he too might have been one of these people, and with a single misstep, under the siege of so many cultivators, he might well have died here.
