Chapter 441: Pure Offense

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The arrogance You Li and the others had displayed disappeared long ago. Each one was running with tears rolling down their faces, hating the fact that their parents had not given birth to them with another pair of legs.

"Sou, sou!"

Numerous rays of purple-golden crystalline objects instantly appeared behind the three's backs, piercing through their chests without any obstruction.

"E..."

You Li gazed downwards, looking at the crystalline object which was filled with reverse hooks sticking out of his chest. Blood flowed ceaselessly from the wound.

"Ka, ka!"

Before they could react, a terrifying tugging force appeared behind them, pulling them backwards, right into the waiting mouths of three huge purple crystal beasts.

The things that'd pierced through the three's bodies were the tongues of the High Grade Blade Tribe Warriors. With a few hundred distance gap, they were able to kill You Li's group with ease.

Humans needed the Blade Crystals formed from the Blade Race's life essence, but similarly, the Blade Race needed human flesh and blood.

The three Blade Race beasts smacked their mouths with disdainful expressions. The flesh and blood of the three humans were so weak that they were almost useless to them.

About a day's journey from this place was an incomparably huge impregnable pass!

The walls of the pass were over a thousand meters tall. Countless arrays were inlaid on the walls as well!

Even if the Blade Tribe attacked, they could not do anything about the pass.

The city gates were over a hundred meter wide. Countless treasure seekers flowed in and out of the gates constantly, and on both sides of the gate, there were over a hundred soldiers with powerful auras standing guard.

Every single one of those soldiers was an expert who had stepped onto the martial path. Even a hundred normal people were not their match. And this was just the most basic condition for joining the army!

The territory that the empire governed was exceptionally huge. Their population was calculated by tens of billions. Although most of those were civilians, there was a great number of martial cultivators.

The soldiers of the empire enjoyed the best resources, and one's background did not matter. As long as one was able, they would be able to rise to the top!

And if one had made enough contributions, they could exchange for almost anything they wanted!

The founding emperor of the empire was extremely wise. He placed a great deal of importance on the military, and allocated a large amount of resources to develop it. But with such a high salary, if the officials still dared to be corrupt, all nine generations of their family would be directly annihilated!

Even if it was the prince who dared to lay hands on the military's resources and propagate corrupt acts, he would similarly be executed!

All kinds of policies were implemented, and after a long period of time, the strength of the empire grew stronger and stronger!

This place was one of many borders, one specifically set up to collect the "sheep's" wool. There were no civilians here, and all the treasure seekers were only passing through to reach the town behind.

Atop the wall, there was a soldier on guard every few steps. Behind it were countless buildings, stretching endlessly before one's eyes, as well as a huge open field. This was also the training grounds for the soldiers.

Inside the army camp was a large manor crawling with guards. There was a soldier every three to five steps, and a ten-men team of guards patrolled the grounds. These soldiers were even stronger than those on the wall!

If the men on the wall could be said to have seen blood, those in the manor were soldiers who'd been through a hundred battles and bathed in the blood of their enemies!

Regardless of their individual strength, the fact that they were able to survive through so many battles meant that every single one of them was not simple.

Inside the study, two men, both over 2 meters tall, were sitting down while a stove of sandalwood incense burned slowly behind them.

"It appears that the Blade Tribe are getting too out of line. They are clearly a bunch of sheep reared in a pen. Could it be that they're actually thinking of turning into tigers? What a joke."

One of the men laughed dryly as he looked at the piece of mirror in front of him—at the image of the Blade Race warriors killing You Li and the rest within it, to be exact.

"Haha, this is good news! It's time those little bastards see some blood."

The other huge fellow was instead extremely excited, as if he couldn't wait to start fighting immediately.

The thing soldiers loved the most was war. Without a war, where would they get contribution points from? How would they exchange for various cultivation resources without contribution points?

The two exchanged a glance and laughed coldly. Everything was said with just that silent glance.

Following that, a group of cavalry dashed out of the manor, galloping towards the army camp.

A chilling bugle horn quickly sounded out soon after. No matter what they were doing, everyone dropped everything and gathered in the yard. A myriad of expressions could be found on the faces of the soldiers, some excited and some fearful, as they looked towards the towering walls far away.

The humans did not wait for the Blade Tribe to arrive, nor did they prepare to rely on the pass's defenses. When the empire went to war, they needed only attack!

When the number of humans surpassed 10, 000, it would seem like a sea of people. But right now, a full 1,000,000 humans all decked out in a scarlet armor rushed out of the huge gate. 200,000 humans were seated atop tiger leopard variant beasts.

The huge army directly marched towards the advancing Blade Tribe creatures. At the same time, a formless killing intent surged out of the veteran soldiers' bodies.

As if they were infected by the powerful auras, the nervous fresh soldiers also began to steady their nerves.

The million-strong army was all made up by martial artists. Their speed was extremely quick, like the galloping horses on Earth. Looking down from the sky, it seemed like a huge patch of red was moving through the lands at high speed.

The Blade Tribe also increased their speed. The Blade Tribe was split into two sections. One was the humanoids, while the other was the beast types.

Even the most ordinary Blade Tribe warrior would require at least three to five low grade human soldiers to kill. As for the high grade Blade Tribe warriors, they were much more terrifying.

Only the high grade Blade Tribe warriors possessed intelligence and could communicate with their own kind.

The two sides drew closer rapidly, and without any probing attacks, the two sides immediately began slaughtering each other the moment they clashed together!

The entire region was instantly turned into a massive meat grinder as lives were reaped constantly.

Several high grade Blade Tribe monsters began to slaughter huge numbers of humans without any inhibitions. There was no lack of experts among the ranks of the humans as well as they directly flew forward and engaged the high grade monsters.

General against general, soldiers against soldiers. Although the scene appeared extremely chaotic, the human army was actually split up into countless small team formations. Finally, the entire battlefield was turned into a huge formation!

Countless Blade Tribe warriors were slain. There were also some new soldiers who failed at some areas and caused their entire team to follow the Blade Tribe warriors in death.

"Something's not right. Jiang Xiong, do you feel that this batch of Blade Tribe warriors is much stronger than 20 years ago?"

Two men dressed in purple gold armor, each one with a high-ranking general token in their hands, stood at a high ground, looking down upon at the situation in the field.

"What's not right about it? Isn't it better if they're stronger? The Blade Crystals we collect would be of higher quality. This granddaddy has stayed at this god forsaken place for 30 years already. After this battle, we can both finally get a change of scenery," Jiang Xiong said nonchalantly.

"That's true too. Let's both join the fight as well. We'll take care of them quickly and pack up earlier."

The other general also nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the great halberd in his hand swept out and a huge crescent moon slash instantly appeared in the middle of the battlefield!

With a single strike, nearly 20 High Grade Blade Tribe warriors died. The numbers of weaker minions who died were countless.

Jiang Xiong was not weak as well. A savage aura reeking of blood and iron burst out of the huge halberd in his hands, wrapping around his body, causing him to look like an Asura from hell.

The two seemed to have entered a special state of emptiness as they dove into the large group of Blade Tribe warriors, slaughtering their way towards the high platform opposite of them.

Atop the high platform on the other side, 10 humanoid Blade Tribe warrior stood unmoving, defending the area. Their entire bodies were blue, and looked exactly like humans, except that instead of arms, they had blades!

The auras around their bodies were even stronger than the High Grade Blade Tribe warriors. But at this time, they were only in charge of defending an area.

Atop the high platform, a 10 zhang tall drum sat silently. A white-haired youth stood atop it, his gaze cast far towards the battlefield.

This youth looked exactly like a human, and his arms were not blades. On the surface, he seemed like a colorless crystal, and not a single bit of aura leaked from his body.
