[DeAndreR: System has been changed to Continent from here on.]
The Origin Mark Box were what Tang Tian had made out when he was in Ancient Cold City, and was prepared to be used against other saints, but when Bing used the Single Valve Stronghold to resolve the situation, the Origin Mark Boxes had always been lying inside Tang Tian’s Aquarius Vase. After that, when Tang Tian went back to the warehouse, he found a pile of spirit treasure remnants, so how could Crazy Tang leave them as waste? He immediately turned them all into Origin Mark Boxes.
(TN: Remember in Chapter 510, where Origin Mark Boxes are actually Crystal Bronze Boxes with the Origin Marks sealed in them, whereby the imprints are the powers held in the treasures)
At that moment, Tang Tian who had no other ways, instantly threw out the entire chest filled with the Origin Mark Boxes!
Tang Tian currently had a total of three chest full of Origin Mark Boxes, and in every chest there were 300 Origin Mark Boxes.
The 300 Origin Mark Boxes, instantly exploded!
The suspicious cold auras were not extremely powerful, but their light auras were as fine as thread.
The Adjutant hardened his heart, he did not feel any energy undulation that made him feel uneasy, and shouted: “Rush forward!”
Their master was in imminent danger, and could fall at any moment, causing his heart to be anxious. The 8th Army was created personally by Sun Jie, and majority of the soldiers had connections to the Sun family.
If something were to happen to Master…..
The Adjutant’s heart shivered, the 8th Army, the Sun Family… he himself would definitely be unable to run from the army laws!
Furthermore, the 500 men who were travelling with Sun Jie were the elites picked out from the 8th Army, all of them were strong and had been through 100 battles. They were not afraid facing the cold aura, since it was not strong, and the energy undulation was close to none.
They had never seen the small bronze boxes before, and thought it should be the mechanical techniques of the Gold Continent. They knew that the key point between the fight was time, and the small bronze boxes were just a method the opponent was using to disturb them.
As long as they were to join back with the Master, the opponent would definitely be defeated.
Different from the Adjutant, everyone else was not over worried. The distance was less than 1.5km, and to sprint the distance only required a few blinks of their eyes.
In terms of strength, they held the absolute advantage, as long as they did not make any fatal mistake, there would not be any problem.
They did not decrease their speed and continued to rush forth, splitting up their formation, both flanks of soldiers dispersing to the two sides, and the soldiers behind dispersed downwards, they were preparing to surround Tang Tian.
No matter what, they could not let him escape!
The soldiers at the front released their energy barriers, and shouted for their forward assault, their expressions were extremely eager. To them, their Master was merely messing around.
Fine, Master sometimes like to mess around, and once in awhile falls into a bit of trouble, it’s no big deal.
A few of them were already thinking about when they return to their barracks after the battle, they would have another topic to talk about. They were filled with anticipation, the Master was like a god to them, so the discussion they would have would definitely be intense….
The distance between both parties got smaller and smaller, the fine threadlike light auras gently floated as the wind blowed on them, and the light auras landed on the most frontal energy barriers.
Chi chi chi!
It was like blades cutting across paper.
The thick energy barriers that could defend against an army’s assault, were useless in the face of the weak looking threadlike light auras.
The crisscrossing light auras were like blades aimed at the fatal spots of the barrier, as it entered the formation quietly.
There were no blood splatters, no wailful cries, it all happened in silence as many of the soldiers realized they had wounds on their bodies.
Law fragments!
All these threadlike light auras, were pure laws, although they were just pieces of the law, but a law was still a law, its’ might was fully displayed at this time.
The fierce charging troops suddenly turned sluggish.
The soldiers at the front suddenly lost control and because the soldiers behind them were following too tightly, they were not in time to evade, and they all turned pale in fright, and immediately slowed down.
The originally neat and tidy formation immediately turned into chaos.
“Be careful!”
“What’s going on?”
Angry shouts could be heard, the troop became a mess because of the front, causing the soldiers at the back to erupt in scoldings and shouts. Suddenly, all the scolding stopped.
Countless blood traces suddenly shot out from the front troops like a whirlwind, the blood traces interweaved with each other, and the blood that had spurt high up into the sky was blown into a blood mist which pervaded the entire company. All the blood were from the soldiers, they were void of life, and dropped down from the sky like rain.
Everyone were shocked by the scene, there were only a few soldiers left at the front, who were lucky enough to not meet any Origin Mark Boxes. But, all of their faces were filled with complete shock, their lips trembling and their complexions were as white as paper, they had already lost all of their fighting spirit.
300 of the Origin Mark Boxes had resulted in the death and injuries of over 70 people, such a weird and odd weapon had burst out with astonishing power.
The Adjutant was also stunned by the scene, he had experienced so many battles but had never witnessed such a terrifying scene before. The soldiers who had lost their lives had already fell to the ground, but the blood mist in the air did not dissipate, and the smell of blood was extremely choking, causing the place to resemble a battlefield invaded by an Asura.
Suddenly, someone at the back screamed in panic: “Ambush! There are enemies behind us!”
The Adjutant was shocked and immediately turned his head to look, a small team that was armed to the teeth had unknowingly crept up and appeared behind them, and was 300m behind them.
“They’re our people! They’re our people! It’s Shi Sen! Shi Sen!”
Someone beside Sun Zheng had shouted, although Shi Sen had disappeared for a few days, but their armor seemed to have changed, but Sun Zheng and the rest were still able to recognize Shi Sen. No one would have thought that Shi Sen would had actually turncoat. In the nominal roll, Shi Sen was the commander of the 36th Army, although no one saw him as anything, but to be a commander on the nominal roll was not something anyone could obtain just because they wanted it.
To them, Shi Sen had no reason to turncoat, so when Shi Sen appeared, Sun Zheng and the rest immediately viewed him as a lifesaver. Shi Sen’s temperament was bad and stubborn, but he was still like the old traditional generals, and was extremely fearsome in battles, and the old soldiers around him, were like him, peas in the same pod.
When Shi Sen appeared behind, Sun Zheng and the rest shouted out in joy.
Sun Zheng’s cheers numbed the soldiers of the 8th Army, they thought that a brother army had come forth to support them, and they immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The suddenly attack had caused their morale to fall to a down low, and the incoming support was just right to arouse their willpower.
If it was just any ordinary day, the 36th army, which was just a meat army, to come and support them, they would have snorted disdainfully and disapproved of it, but at the moment, after experiencing such a cruel and vicious attack, any bit of power that came to support had made them feel better.
The Adjutant’s eyes suddenly contracted, Shi Sen’s small army was in the formation of an assault!
They did not seem to have the intention of slowing down, the distance between the two armies was just 150m, at such a short distance, they already had no more time to change in direction!
Not in time to change direction…..assault…….
A cold feeling crept up his back, causing all the hairs on his body to stand, his face immediately changed: “Enemy attack….”
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Sen’s troops had all raised up their Black Wind Blades in unison.
“Kill!”
Shi Sen’s eyes had a hint of cold intent, without any warmth. His short, white and dry beard, along with the wrinkles from the hardships he had endured, showed as his expression was stern and cold as the translucent [Evening Snow Ocean], and slashed down!
“Kill!”
The 45 Underworld Continent’s Demonic Mounts roared in unison, and slashed down with their Black Wind Blades.
A dazzling light regiment enveloped the small troop, their blade auras flowed forward like a current, following the [Evening Snow Ocean] in Shi Sen’s hand, pouring out fiercely. Every blade aura was just the size of a palm, but this flow was actually composed of 600 rays of blade auras!
The 600 rays of blade auras struck the army formation from the back straight up.
The Adjutant’s eyes opened wide, the surging blade aura had covered his entire vision, causing him to lose focus and mind becoming a blank.
It was a complete mess and carnage as flesh and blood flew everywhere.
None of the 8th Army elites were able to guard against the attack, all of them were livestock waiting to be slaughtered. The blood-curdling screams, the curses in rage, the screams that came out involuntarily, were all engulfed by the flow.
Compared to Tang Tian’s Origin Mark Boxes that resembled daggers of assassins, quietly taking lives, the attack led by Shi Sen, was like a sledgehammer besieging a town, filled with power.
The flow of blade auras produced an extremely huge hole, Shi Sen knew that the army had already reached the brink of falling apart, and as long as they were struck with a heavy blow, they would completely fall apart.
“Ichthyosaur Transformation!”
The stern shout amidst the mess caused everyone’s heart to shiver.
The location of the Underworld Continent’s Demonic Mounts started to change, a light aura enveloped all of them and started to transform into a Ichthyosaur, that rushed into the gap into the army formation.
The Ichthyosaur formed by the 46 of them wielded surprising strength. The rushing force produced sounds of thunder, and all the soldiers that were swept by the light were severely injured, causing them to spit out blood and wail as they were flung away.
Shi Sen who was at the head of the Ichthyosaur, gently waved the Evening Snow Ocean, causing the light to distort like a broom sweeping, striking the Adjutant who was completely stunned. The Adjutant groaned with blood in his mouth and flew out.
The barrier before them had been swept clean, and Shi Sen knew that they had completely broken through the opponent’s formation.
Shi Sen’s eyes flashed with a thread of solemness, Evening Snow Ocean set upright in front of his nose, and he growled.
“Burst!”
The Ichthyosaur released countless blade auras, that were brimming with killing power, shot in all directions.
The Ichthyosaur’s head had just broken out of the formation at the other end, and the dragon’s body was still inside the formation, with that explosion right in the middle, it cleared a vast empty space.
The Underworld Continent’s Demonic Mounts did not slow down at all, and rushed out of the formation.
The moment when Shi Sen had begun attacking, Tang Tian had placed all of his attention solely on Sun Jie. Tang Tian who had just broken through was brimming with power in every part of his body.
Tang Tian kept on disappearing and appearing, his attacks like a torrential storm, causing the number of light swallows around Sun Jie to become less and less.
Sun Jie fell more and more into despair, the opponent did not seem to ever be tired, his fists were getting heavier and heavier, and that strange grey flame, made him feel an intense sense of danger.
How can someone with Energy Impedition be so strong…..
When Shi Sen’s team had completely broke the army formation, the last line of defense in Sun Jie’s heart fell apart.
He screamed in hysteria: “Who exactly are you?”
Bang!
His body froze, and the expression on his face became gloomy.
A fist had struck his back, and at the same time a cold intent had drilled into his body.
Before he lost consciousness, he thought about the grey flames lingering around the opponent’s hand, what is that…..
