Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Battle situation of each Array Eye! (Happy New Year!)

Translator: 549690339

“Split up a hundred men to the other four array eyes!”

At first, Liao Ba planned to directly seize the first array eye and shatter the Five Elements Array. However, upon discovering that Zhu Qing of the human race was defending this array eye, he abandoned this plan.

The reason he recognized Zhu Qing wasn’t because Zhu Qing was renowned enough to dominate the third layer of the abyss, but because Zhu Qing, much like himself, belonged to the breed who could roam the third layer of the abyss even in the First Tribulation Spirit Stage. They had clashed several times before, and without exception, he never managed to gain an upper hand against Zhu Qing.

During their time in the third layer of the abyss, their group of powerhouses, with divine powers breaking three to four hundred, couldn’t defeat Zhu Qing. Now, in the first layer of the abyss, could people with divine powers of only one to two hundred defeat him?

Impossible!

He clearly recognized this point and decisively chose to split his forces.

Capturing the other array eyes wouldn’t entirely destroy the Five Elements Array, but it could weaken the array’s enhancing effect. Better than nothing.

Actually, when the human race had activated the Five Elements Array, he had a foreboding feeling. Now it seemed that his intuition was indeed correct.

“This Zhu Qing is really willing to spend money. The valuable Five Elements Array is just left here…”

Liao Ba was somewhat sentimental. A standard Five Elements Array had a maximum capacity, but the array that Zhu Qing had set up now was apparently more robust!

“Is the meager portion of merits given by the military enough for him to buy this array?!”

He was confused, not understanding why Zhu Qing was willing to invest so heavily. After all, what could he gain from this victory?

The essence of the first layer of the abyss was something people like Zhu Qing would have accumulated plenty of by now. Why would he do this still?

At this moment, Zhu Qing took in Liao Ba’s expression and understood his thoughts.

This time, would it be enough to earn him the title of Organizer?!

The main reason why he was spending so much this time was that he wanted fame!

For more than a month, the big dragon of the first layer had been occupied by the Demon Clan. This was a morale hit to the human race.

Countless powerhouses had rushed forward and returned short-handed, unable to reverse the situation. However, after Zhu Qing’s intervention, he took over the big dragon pit in one fell swoop, signifying tremendous fame.

He needed the fame!

Everyone thought that he was pursuing Yan Ruyu, but in fact, he could only admire Yan Ruyu from a distance, unable to get close to her.

To him, Yan Ruyu was still a high and unreachable dream!

Not just him, many people’s dreams were Yan Ruyu!

He needed this accomplishment to get closer to Yan Ruyu.

Whether it was Du Gang or Qin Jingshuo, they were irrelevant. He didn’t care about merits or essence; the only thing that mattered to him was the title of the Organizer this time and the ability to win!

“Captain, do we need to help?”

One man Zhu Qing had brought asked.

Zhu Qing shook his head and laughed, “We don’t need to interfere. As long as our array eye is fine, we won’t lose!”

“Doesn’t that mean that the other four array eyes are in great danger?”

“Let them be in danger. Anyway, those four array eyes don’t play a significant role…”

…

Long Aotian and the others were initially worried, fearing they wouldn’t be able to win the fight. But after a while, they found the Demon Clan to be not so remarkable. The only notable aspect was the rich combat experience of these demons, which made them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they were slightly suppressed, falling at a disadvantage, no one felt they would lose.

“These demons seem to be nothing special!”

“Yeah, I just became a controller, and I can fight with them so fiercely…”

Listening to their words, Du Gang remained unmoved. He was contemplating whether or not to use Jie-Character Secret. After thinking for three seconds, he eventually decided not to use it.

This time, the main attack was made by Zhu Qing. He could only assist from the side.

“Du Gang, something is happening!”

Just then, the sharp-eyed Little Hawk King shouted, “Over at the number one array eye, there’s a team of demons coming towards us!”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang looked over. Indeed, more than a hundred individuals surged out from the number one array eye, splitting into four groups, heading towards their surrounding four array eyes.

About twenty demons, all Controllers, are headed towards their third array position.

“That damn Zhu Qing didn’t stop them at all!”

“Damn it, this guy is so treacherous!”

Everyone present cursed.

They were already struggling to fight, at a disadvantage. If these twenty or so new demons joined in, they wouldn’t have a chance at all!

Du Gang watched this scene, frowning.

If they ignored these demons, their fourth array position would surely fall. And if it did, would he still be able to refresh his rights to the Big Dragon Pit?

The reason he took the leader’s position was to quickly max out the level-three essence for Big Zhuang and Qiao Bing. This would liberate them from part of their karma, and he would be free.

“We can’t let them through!”

With this in mind, Du Gang quickly decided to hold the third array position!

Jie-Character Secret!

In an instant, he activated the Jie-Character Secret, opening a tenfold combat power boost!

“Whoosh!”

At that moment, he transformed into lightning, shooting out. The demon he was fighting saw a blur before his eyes, and the next second, he was feeling dizzy.

Am I flying???

The demon was stunned and quickly realized that his head was flying!

Looking down, he saw that his body had split from his neck and his head was separated from his body.

“Holy shit!!”

At this moment, Long Aotian, who was not far from Du Gang, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

Can anyone be that strong?

He was puzzled. Although Du Gang obviously only showed the same hundred Naer Divine Power, his actual strength was…

Suddenly, he remembered that back in the Secret Realm of South Mountain in the universe, Du Gang acquired a secret technique.

Could it be, this was the power of that secret technique?!

His eyes showed a trace of envy.

“Hold on!”

In an instant, Du Gang noticed Long Aotian’s gaze. He quickly ordered, and then charged at his opponent.

Seeing this, Long Aotian was excited. As he dragged the demon in front of him, he also taunted.

“Bastard, it’s grandpa’s turn to kill you this time!”

This time, he didn’t even bother to defend, instead, he attacked ferociously.

The demon on the other side was enraged, but helpless. He could only watch as Du Gang materialized behind him and severed his head with one move.

“Go help the others!”

After Du Gang said this, he turned into a rainbow light again, flying towards the others.

He needed to free as many teammates as possible, allowing them to deal with the upcoming enemies.

Even with the Jie-Character Secret, he could hardly cope with more than twenty demons by himself. Therefore, he had to free teammates and let them stall the enemies.

“Everybody, unleash your power, stop hiding. There are new demons coming. Once those guys get here, we will all be doomed…”

Seeing their indifference, Du Gang roared again, “Do you guys still want the level-three essence or not?!”

It wasn’t until this moment that some people over there finally snapped into action.

The first one to act was You Sheng. Like before, he ceased his attack, quickly lowered the coffin, releasing the mummy.

“Hehehe!”

At this moment, the mummy he released became even more agile. The whole corpse let out a strange yell, throwing itself towards the demon clan at an incredibly fast speed.

“What the hell?!”

The demon clan was shocked, rapidly launching a powerful attack.

“Boom!”

This attack, containing the force of a hundred Naer of divine power, directly hit the mummy but to no avail!

This was, after all, a True God-level corpse. It was invincible in defense, something that a First Tribulation deity could not break through.

“Hehehe!”

The mummy’s face was securely wrapped, but from its eerie laughter, you could tell it was excited.

While letting out a strange scream, it opened up its arms and quickly embraced the demon, as if it were hugging a lover.

“Ugh~~!!”

“Ah!!~”

In that split second, the demon wailed in pain.

Then, a chilling scene played out.

I saw the strong demon, in this moment, seemingly turn into a flowing river. Its entire body, in an ethereal manner, flowed like water towards the mummy.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!”

Nearly in an instant, the demon clan’s body disappeared, while the mummy, looking as if it had enjoyed a good meal, turned its head towards You Sheng, as if eyeing its next prey.

Though its eyes were not visible under the white cloth, its gaze still sent chills down your spine, even from this distance.

You Sheng, on the other hand, was drenched in sweat, struggling to form hand seals.

“Go back!”

With a low growl, the mummy moved, but then stopped, as if it had its own consciousness and wanted to oppose its master.

“Damn it!”

You Sheng cursed under his breath, quickly raised one hand, formed a hand seal, and struck forcefully at his heart.

“Puff!”

A mouthful of blood gushed out from his heart, spraying onto his hand.

“Go back!”

This time, the blood-channeled hand seal finally worked.

The mummy, which originally showed signs of rebelling, reluctantly returned to the coffin.

“Bang!”

Seeing this, You Sheng didn’t waste any time and quickly shut the coffin.

He let out a sigh of relief, clearly showing that the whole series of operations had exhausted him.

“What a peculiar method!”

Du Gang, still focused on the fight, couldn’t help but exclaim.

At this moment, it wasn’t just You Sheng who had gone all out.

All the others with special blood vessels also brought out their unique skills, swiftly slaying their opponents in the shortest amount of time.

The originally even field suddenly tilted and over twenty people were left standing.

“This many?”

Seeing this, it was now Du Gang’s turn to be surprised.

He originally thought that there would be about a dozen people with special physique, and that the remaining dozen or so would need his help.

Who knew that among these local students, there were quite a few strong ones.

Especially one boy with white eyes, who was very strange. He directly immobilized his opponent.

Or rather, he and his enemy immobilized each other. They seemed to have some kind of special bond; however he moved, the demon clan would mimic.

However, the most frightening technique involves his shadow!

After both of them were immobilized, his shadow moved. It appeared to have a life of its own, crawling on the ground towards the demon, choking the demon to death!

“These guys, they all have powerful moves!”

Du Gang exclaimed, all the capable individuals had hidden their skills until pushed.

At this time, the newly joined demon clan finally entered their array eye.

“Block them, you delay them, I’ll kill them!”

Du Gang shouted, quickly rushing towards the others who were fighting in pairs.

The newly joined demon clan were startled. They arrived very fast, but these humans killed their companions even faster.

“Ugh?!!”

At this moment, those who had already reached their array eye had no choice left. Each filled with regret for choosing the third array eye, but there was no going back, they had to fight.

“Kill!”

Soon, both sides clashed again.

However, this time, the demon clan was at a disadvantage.

Because Du Gang was free. He moved like a tornado, sweeping everywhere. Whenever he reached somewhere, he would free a human and kill a demon.

“What do we do now?!”

A demon clan member shouted.

He was too scared. His comrades were falling like dominoes, and he didn’t want to end like that.

“Hold on, don’t run, in the worst case, we discard this body…”

“You have to think of the consequences, losing a body compared to disobeying military orders…”

Quickly, the demon clan understood and calmed their restless hearts, quietly preparing to fight.

They already knew that they were bound to lose this battle. But, they couldn’t retreat!

As Du Gang liberated more and more of the humans, their speed in slaughtering the demon clan increased even more.

In no time, the entire third array eye was completely cleared, leaving only humans, and no demon clan alive.

“did anyone die?”

As soon as the battle ended, Du Gang quickly asked.

Everyone shook their head and laughed, “No, at most we have injuries, no one from our side died!”

Du Gang nodded, saying, “Good, in that case…”

He turned his gaze to the positions of other array eyes.

First, he looked at the first array eye. They were still fighting fiercely, but what was interesting was that the two leaders, Liao Ba and Zhu Qing, had not made any moves, like generals commanding an army, they remained calm and unmoved.

He shook his head, too lazy to care about the first array eye, and looked at the second.

At this moment, the second array eye was also engaged in combat, but the situation here had not emerged like how it had in their field.

Even with more members of the demon clan, it remained the same.

This was because, the people fighting here, for the most part, were strong individuals with divine powers of two hundred Naer. Even if there were twenty or more members of the demon clan, it wouldn’t affect the battle.

“The second array eye doesn’t need any help…”

He quickly looked at the fourth array eye, and they were okay too. The people here like Qin Jingshuo, were very strong, and also had control over the situation.

At the fifth array eye however, the human side was at a disadvantage, and he was able to see some people falling.

“Half of you, go over to the fifth array eye and help!”
