CHAPTER 574: CHAPTER 269: BEFORE I DIE IN BATTLE, NO ONE SHALL HARM YOU - PART 2

"Why have our Dark Guards not reacted? Why haven’t our informants relayed any information about this surprise attack?"

In the Main Base command center, Jiang Yong swiftly issued orders.

The Main Base was completely unprepared for this assault; the attackers had evaded all Dark Guards and launched an attack.

This left Jiang Yong utterly shocked and, subtly, somewhat uneasy.

Thus, he asked, "Where is Lord Di Yun?"

"Lord Di Yun is in the No.4 Mountain Range, inspecting the Fifth Legion. Upon hearing the alarm, he promptly prepared to support the battlefield," a subordinate reported quickly.

"Being warlike is our virtue!" Jiang Yong nodded slightly, reassuring himself that at least Di Yun was safe. The No.4 Mountain Range was a middle-tier area of the Church Headquarters, and with the Fifth Legion nearby, there should be no issues.

Lord Di Yun cannot afford to have an accident; he is not only a noble Divine Chosen but also has formed a cooperative agreement with Lord Zhutu.

Should anything happen, all the higher-ups of the Main Base would be doomed...

Still, how exactly did the enemies evade the detection of our Main Base? Could it be... there is truly a traitor among the higher-ups?

Who could it be?

Jiang Yong pondered with a frown, but soon, an alarm from within the inner area of the Main Base

sent chills down the spine of all Demon Generals!

The two Demon Generals, who were in pursuit of Moon Shadow, turned pale and immediately rushed towards the Main Base.

Inside the Main Base, Jiang Yong’s face turned ashen.

Within the sealed mines inside the Main Base, intense fluctuations of Spiritual Energy were occurring!

These were the mines where the Sealed Blood Ore Crystals were found, but after discovering ancient beings within the mines, they were tightly sealed off.

The last ancient creature that broke the seal of the ore crystal had extremely strong combat abilities, a Supreme-level being.

Waking up more ancient beings carelessly could lead to unthinkable consequences.

Therefore, the Church had all those mines sealed and heavily guarded.

But now, for reasons unknown, an ancient being had been disturbed, waking from its long slumber.

What frightened Jiang Yong even more was that this mine was near the No.4 Mountain Range.

Near Lord Di Yun!

The enemy’s attack was just a feint! Their real target was the ancient beings in those veins, no, their target was... Divine Chosen Emperor Fall!

Humans have infiltrated the Main Base to this extent? Dammit, Lord Di Yun must not be compromised!

"Quick!!!" Without bothering to issue further commands, Jiang Yong burst out of the command center, shouting, "Protect the Lord! Call back Demon General Lu Ze!"

Meanwhile, in the No.4 Mountain Range.

Li Yelai led the Fifth Legion, rushing towards the battlefield.

A large number of Bloodsuckers were awakened, and swarms of armored troops roared. Motivated by Li Yelai leading them, their morale was high.

However, in the next second.

The distant mountains crumbled, and a figure burst from the shattered range.

It was a Heavy Armor Knight nearly two and a half meters tall, wearing brown Alien Armor and wielding an Alien Long Spear, looking exceptionally majestic.

He had carved through the mountain walls, bursting from the mountain.

At the same time, Li Yelai could clearly sense an enormous malicious roar heading his way.

Li Yelai, having activated the Blood God Chosen Face, was filled with the blasphemous aura of Chaos, attracting ample hatred!

Yet Li Yelai was inwardly thrilled.

As expected, the effect of You Must Meet Strong Enemies had triggered!

You Must Meet Strong Enemies uses various ’coincidences’ to guide strong enemies within range to face Li Yelai.

As a Divine Chosen, those believers were his ’allies’, and the strong enemies he could draw forth were the ancient beings sealed within the Sealed Blood Ore Crystals. What Li Yelai needed was an opportunity to justifiably activate the Face and roam around!

Now, the plan had succeeded! A formidable enemy had appeared!

An ancient creature with Sixth Sense!

Without any hesitation, upon seeing Li Yelai, the ancient creature let out an angry roar.

’Rutuba!’ The meaning of the word was unclear, but the killing intent it contained was very clear.

At the same time, the Ancient Creature raised its long spear, powering its legs up, seemingly attempting to employ Aerial Stepping, but the airborne restriction of the Main Base remained unlifted.

The ancient creature was yanked back to the ground, but as it landed, the ground cracked like a spider web.

This was the Shock Stepping Wave of the True Martial Path!

A Shock Stepping Wave released by a Sixth-sense Expert was terrifying indeed, akin to a meteorite hitting the ground, annihilating nearly all soldiers and Bloodsuckers within a hundred meters, even altering the landscape of the valley, tearing through the formation of the Fifth Legion instantly.

Such was the oppressive force of a Sixth-sense Expert!

With that, the Ancient Creature swung its long spear, and light erupted from the spear, casting a huge spear shadow that cleaved the earth and instantly crushed two Bloodsuckers in its path before slashing directly toward Li Yelai.

This was the Breaking Sky Power of the True Martial Path!

Li Yelai, for his part, raised his left arm and activated the secret treasure.

Blood God Seven-layered Shield!

This was originally a secret treasure offered by one of Mei Wu’s adoring serviles and later acquired by Li Yelai, who then received the Blood God’s blessing to strengthen it.

Now, seven blood-red leaves materialized, forming a sturdy shield to block the path of the spear shadow.

’Boom!’

The moment the spear shadow struck the Seven-layered Shield, a massive noise erupted.

The Blood God Seven-layered Shield forcefully blocked the Breaking Sky Power.

However, Li Yelai was still knocked back several steps by the immense force, his internal energy roiling.

Meanwhile, several officers and servants beside him were thrown airborne by the shock, coughing up fresh blood, their fates unknown.

"Sixth-sense Expert! Protect Lord Di Yun!" demon general Bai Ya roared in shock and anger, "Hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

At the same time, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion launched their attack.

They were so brave and loyal, ready to face a Sixth-sense Expert for the Divine Chosen they served!

At the same time, demon general Jiang Yong reached the battlefield, daring not delay, he immediately took action, displaying the strength expected of a demon general, suppressing the Ancient Creature.

But almost in the next second,

a distant mountain burst forth with another terrifying surge of Spiritual Energy.

Another Ancient Being resurrected from within a Sealed Blood Ore Crystal.

The effect of You Must Meet Strong Enemies didn’t disappear—if the previous ’strong enemy’ died or lost the ability to fight, or was blocked and couldn’t reach Li Yelai, the next ’strong enemy’ would immediately arrive at the battlefield!

And this surge of Spiritual Energy frightened all the believers.

It was the Spiritual Energy fluctuation of an Overlord Level!

The angry voice of that ancient Overlord echoed throughout the Church Headquarters: "Rutuba!"

Simultaneously, in the Void Realm, a terrifying surge of Spiritual Energy. An Overlord’s rage was burning within the Void Realm.

Jiang Yong turned pale—facing an Overlord Level Ancient Being was like a nightmare!

He immediately shouted, "Lord Di Yun, please retreat! Leave this to us! They are after you!"

"Fifth Legion, fully cover Lord Di Yun’s retreat!"

"Lord Di Yun, this way!" shouted an officer from the Fifth Legion, "Such powerful enemies are beyond our ability to contend!"

’Leaving? Good! Hahahaha!’

Li Yelai laughed wildly in his heart, and then he retreated with the Fifth Legion.

Yet, two kilometers away from that mountain, a new surge of Spiritual Energy appeared.

A new formidable enemy was lured out by Li Yelai.

"Rutuba!" another Sixth-sense Ancient Being roared.

"Is this never going to end? Fuck you!" a demon general rushing back from the outside world roared and charged immediately into battle with the Ancient Being, the two engaging in a bloody combat.

But fate played yet another joke—the battle between the two shattered a mountain, causing the Sealed Blood Ore Crystals within to crack open.

Another Ancient Being resurrected!

Furthermore, as these Ancient Beings started losing, they began searching for their own kind.

Voluntarily freeing more Ancient Beings.

This was not the effect of You Must Meet Strong Enemies, but the actions of the Ancient Beings themselves.

At this moment, the whole headquarters was a battlefield.

At this moment, all demon generals went insane.

What kind of joke is this?

To kill Lord Di Yun, could humans really go to such lengths?

They had released so many Ancient Beings?

Could there be even more?

Then, a voice rang out within the Void Realm.

"Lord Di Yun, please come to the Treasure Vault!" The voice of Old Demon General called from the Void Realm: "I shall protect you, and no one can harm you until I die in battle!"

(Brothers, I’ll have to fill in the rest tomorrow. I can’t manage it today...)
