CHAPTER 618: Annihilating the Blood Bat Clan
"Ugh~"
Although the restraints of the "Spirit Binding Ring" had been broken and they could now mobilize their magical power, without suitable magical artifacts, most cultivators could only use spells, and were still no match for the demonic beasts.
Some cultivators were even sent flying and died on the spot after just one encounter with the demonic beasts, their bodies torn apart.
The casting time of spells was too long, far less direct than the power of magical artifacts.
With numerous factors at play, without the intervention of golden core cultivators, the qi refinement and foundation establishment cultivators were showing signs of collapse within mere moments.
"Poof!"
Blood rained down, splattering onto the dazed slave cultivators.
Wiping the blood from his face, one could feel the warmth of the liquid, its vibrant color striking.
In the eyes of many bewildered cultivators, a glimmer of spirit seemed to awaken.
Perhaps it was only this touch of crimson that could rouse the slumbering souls!
"Ah~"
One cultivator let out a long howl, having received help to remove the "Spirit Binding Ring," and joined the fray without hesitation.
Life is precious, but love is worth more.
For the sake of freedom, both can be discarded!
Though resistance might lead to death, recalling the wonderful past and witnessing fellow cultivators falling before their eyes, they were unwilling to return to that dark time, living like beasts.
The number of demonic beasts and their minions was vast, but with Guo Poyun's assistance, they managed to maintain a precarious balance for now, as no third-stage demonic cultivators had arrived.
At the city gate, it had turned into a scene of carnage, with demonic beasts and cultivators dying by the minute.
As for mortals, their casualties were countless, but their strength was negligible and couldn't alter the situation at all.
"Bang bang bang!"
Under Guo Poyun's control, the Brown-yellow Small Cauldron spewed forth a yellow spiritual light.
It massacred the low-level blood bats that continued to swarm, forming large numbers almost resembling a "blood cloud."
"Boom boom boom!"
With each appearance of the yellow spiritual light, many blood bats turned into blood mist, leaving no bones behind.
In the absence of power at the same level to counterbalance, the golden core cultivators reigned supreme.
No matter how many low-level demonic beasts came, as long as their magical power was not exhausted, it was an insurmountable chasm.
"Squeak~"
Accompanied by a peculiar shriek, two third-stage spiritual pressures suddenly appeared within the city and rushed swiftly toward the east gate.
After a few breaths, the last two remaining demonic cultivators of the Blood Bat Clan finally reacted.
"Have they come?"
Feeling the sudden emergence of spiritual pressure, Guo Poyun laughed coldly, his gaze like lightning passing through the "blood cloud" toward the direction of the city.
With the Zhang Clan's strength in Broken Gold City, defeating the Blood Bat Clan head-on was not a problem; the key was to kill the two third-stage blood bats and not allow them to escape and report back.
At the city gate, a trap had already been set; as soon as they appeared, it would be a dead end.
As for the "demonic traitor," it had already led a group of trusted subordinates to participate in the "Royal Court Council," distancing itself from this matter.
After this incident, it would become the only ancestor of the Blood Bat Clan, maintaining contact with the Zhang Clan.
"How dare those lowly bastards resist!!"
Having observed the situation clearly, seeing only a single golden core cultivator daring to cause trouble, the late third-stage leader of the Blood Bat Clan was furious, leading another mid-stage third-blood bat to charge swiftly at Guo Poyun.
The eyes of the two demonic beasts glowed red as they looked at the countless young ones that had died at the city gate, already in a state of rage.
"Heh~"
Guo Poyun silently sneered, a mocking expression on his face.
