Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 667 - 484: The backup plan of the barbarians, Border in danger (Three more - s of ten thousand words, Please subscribe!)_1

Atop the city walls of Yongxue City, Gu Chen stood alongside Yan Qing and others. They could see not far from the city, countless barbarian soldiers gathered, muscular and towering, at least half a head taller than ordinary people. They sat astride ferocious beasts, their eyes brimming with a chilling intent as they gazed in the direction of Yongxue City.

The 500,000-strong barbarian army had arrived!

From above, looking down, these barbarian soldiers resembled numerous black dots clustered together, densely packed, giving off a somewhat spine-chilling air.

Moreover, the savage beasts these barbarians rode were not to be underestimated. The collective force of so many beasts was a formidable strength that could not be ignored.

The gathering of 500,000 barbarian soldiers created an aura so powerful it was horrifying; even Yan Qing, the defender of Yan State from Jing Tian Department, who had reached the divine realm, and the former patriarch of the Wang family from the six great noble families, couldn't help but frown.

The murderous aura emanating from these barbarians was considerable.

After all, they had lived in the Great Wilderness all year round, enduring a harsh environment, living a life of blood and raw meat for so many years that it would be difficult for them not to be steeped in such energy.

Especially so as each barbarian soldier's eyes were filled with brutal ferocity, like wild beasts choosing their prey, with a bloodthirsty gleam flickering between their brows.

"Hmm? Yelanbar?"

At this moment, on the city walls of Yongxue City, Gu Chen, clad in black armor and draped in a great cloak, felt his eyes narrowed when he saw at the forefront of the 500,000-strong barbarian army, Yelanbar, the tribal chieftain whom he had severely wounded not long ago.

"How could he be here?" Yan Qing and others from Yan State also changed their expressions, deeply puzzled by this occurrence.

The news of Gu Chen breaking through to the Coagulation Field realm and defeating the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar had spread far and wide during this time, becoming common knowledge.

With injuries of that magnitude, Yelanbar should not have appeared here at all.

"No, that's not right." At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly furrowed his brows tighter, as he noticed faint wisps of black qi swirling around the imposing frame of Yelanbar.

"Has he fused with a demonic spirit?!" The observer from Jing Tian Department in Yan State also had keen eyesight and, upon seeing this, was taken aback.

"It's normal for the barbarians to cooperate with the demonic sects and for Yelanbar to fuse with a demonic spirit," Gu Chen nodded in agreement. Furthermore, his sharp senses told him that Yelanbar had likely fused with a creature of the prison-grade demonic spirits.

"A prison-grade demonic spirit?!" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Yan Qing, Wang Jiuzhi, and the others' pupils suddenly contracted.

Yelanbar was already strong, but now that he had fused with a prison-grade demonic spirit, who knew to what extent his strength had grown.

"Gu Chen!"

At that moment, a voice as booming as thunder suddenly erupted, causing many to feel pain in their eardrums.

Sitting upon a colossal, variegated tiger, Yelanbar, clad in simple clothing made of animal hides, saw Gu Chen and immediately, his eyes turned blood red.

A boundless hatred for Gu Chen erupted from his heart, and due to his influence, the ground shook with a rumbling tremor.

"This..."

Feeling this astonishing aura, Yan Qing, Wang Jiuzhi, and the others on the wall were immediately stricken with terror as a pressure unlike any they'd felt before enveloped them.

"Today, your death is certain!" Yelanbar glared at Gu Chen, gnashing his teeth as he spoke.

The path he had taken to this day was all thanks to Gu Chen. The agony of fusing with a demonic spirit was something he never wanted to endure again in his life.

And, just by a hair's breadth, he had nearly been consumed mentally by the demonic spirit—Yelanbar still shuddered at the thought.

However, at the same time, Yelanbar also felt an unprecedented surge of power after fusing with the demonic spirit. With this newfound strength bolstering him, Yelanbar's confidence against Gu Chen soared once more.

"Where is that old man Saranguis, how come he hasn't shown up?" Gu Chen stepped forward, his internal unseen energy emanating to help Yan Qing and others withstand the oppressive force emanating from Yelanbar.

"To kill you, I am enough!" Yelanbar declared coldly, "Gu Chen, do you see the large army behind me? Today, I shall lead my 500,000 brave warriors to completely flatten Yongxue City. And this, is merely the beginning!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen appeared unconcerned and smiled lightly, "You still talk such a big game."

With that, Yelanbar's gaze grew even colder, and he said, "This time, I will prove everything with my strength!"

"Mere fusion with a malignant creature has given you such confidence?" Gu Chen chuckled coldly, his gaze detached.

"Enough talk, Gu Chen, let the war begin. My tribe's warriors can hardly wait to devour the flesh and blood of you Central Plains people from the Human Clan!"

As soon as his words ended, with a markedly indifferent command from Yelanbar, the 500,000-strong barbarian army, like a pack of vicious wolves with blood-red pupils, roared as they spurred their mounts towards Yongxue City.

"Battle commence!" The highest commander of Yongxue City exchanged a glance with Gu Chen and immediately gave the order.

Boom, boom, boom!

In the next instant, war drums sounded, and the multitude of Da Xia soldiers on the walls began launching their array of attacks on the assaulting barbarians.

Oil, boulders, arrows, martial techniques, and more—they used a plethora of methods and the battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch.

Simultaneously, the gates of Yongxue City opened, and a great number of soldiers mixed with warriors from the Jing Tian Department charged out, engaging the barbarians in a fierce melee.

"Roar!"

The barbarian soldiers screamed; they were truly indistinguishable from wild beasts, with many soldiers displaying near-beastly transformation in parts of their bodies, significantly enhancing their combat power.

This was the power lying dormant deep within their bloodline, triggered by the legacy of ancient gods and demons, substantially increasing the overall strength of the barbarians.

In an instant, the numerous Da Xia soldiers and warriors of the Jing Tian Department found themselves at a disadvantage.

"No good!" Upon witnessing this scene, Yan Qing, Wang Jiuzhi, and the others' expressions changed instantly.

The highest-ranking officer of Yongxue City also did not look too good. After the barbarian soldiers unleashed their bloodline powers, the casualties among Da Xia's troops mounted quickly.

"Was it like this when you battled the barbarians before?" Gu Chen's eyebrows also furrowed.

"No." The highest-ranking officer of Yongxue City shook his head. The barbarians had not revealed this capability before, clearly feigning weakness to deceive their enemy.

Even Gu Chen had not anticipated that within the barbarian ranks, so many could activate the bloodline powers hidden deep within their bodies.

Although not as completely as the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar, it was nonetheless a strong trump card.

This development truly caught them by surprise.

"At this rate, we may not be able to hold Yongxue City for much longer," the highest-ranking officer of Yongxue City said, his face looking rather grim.

Even with warriors from the Jing Tian Department helping, they were hard-pressed to stop the barbarians' advance; the barbarian soldiers were inherently more robust than those from Da Xia, not to mention their fierce beasts and activated bloodline powers.

Moreover, compared to the half-million strong barbarian army, the numbers from the Jing Tian Department were far from sufficient.

"Kill!"

At that moment, from the rear of the barbarians, more than a dozen silhouettes soared into the sky, aiming for the walls of Yongxue City—it was the innate realm martial arts grandmasters of the barbarians, along with two top grandmasters of the divine realm.

"Master Gu, we'll intercept them."

As soon as the words were spoken, Yan Qing, the old patriarch of the Wang family, along with Wang Jiuzhi and the others, shot up into the sky and clashed with the barbarians' innate and divine realm high-end powers in an aerial battle.

Fortunately, there were also a few innate realm martial arts grandmasters among the border army, and with two of the barbarians' divine realm warriors previously slain by Gu Chen, Da Xia was not outmatched in terms of high-end power.

"Roar!"

However, the next moment, a chorus of beast roars sounded. The innate realm martial arts grandmasters of the barbarians, as well as the two divine realm top grandmasters, activated their bloodline powers right from the start, significantly boosting their combat strength, immediately putting Da Xia at a disadvantage.

Only Yan Qing of Yan State's Jing Tian Department and the Heaven-tier commander Wang Jiuzhi were still able to hold their own, even gaining a slight upper hand against their opponents.

"Gu Chen, I've said it before, today, none of you can escape death. Everyone will die!" Yelanbar, seeing his side gaining the upper hand, couldn't help but let a cold smile appear on his face.

"You rose to power by stepping over me, spreading your fame across the nine provinces. Today, I will reclaim everything!" Yelanbar roared, saying, "Gu Chen, I want you to watch as everyone here dies before your eyes. In the end, I will personally sever your head and declare to the whole world that I, Yelanbar, am the strongest warrior!"

"Nonsense!" Gu Chen's eyes turned cold, ready to make a move.

Just then, Yelanbar sneered, "Don't hold back any longer, exhaust all your strength, break through Yongxue City, invade the Central Plains, enslave the Human Clan, and take back everything we've lost since the ancient times!"

"Invade the Central Plains!"

"Invade the Central Plains!"

"Take back everything we've lost!"

Upon these words, the fifty-thousand-strong barbarian army boiled with fervor, going berserk as if possessed, further awakening their bloodline powers upon the stimulation of the words, nearly losing all reasoning, turning into ferocious beasts.

In an instant, the tide of the battle shifted once again, plunging the Da Xia side into the gravest danger!

"Kill!"

Moreover, in the firmament above, the various grandmasters of the barbarians also roared with fury, exerting all their might, immediately causing several of Da Xia's innate reachers to spit blood continuously.

In this decisive battle that would determine the fate of both sides, the barbarians had secured an absolute advantage at this moment!

"Damn barbarians!"

Yan Qing, Wang Jiuzhi, and the others instantly turned red-eyed; at this moment, they all turned their gaze towards Gu Chen.

Now, Gu Chen was the only hope for Da Xia to turn the tide.

Yelanbar, of course, knew this as well. He suddenly stood up, his tall body standing like a demon mountain, emanating an imposing pressure.

At that moment, Yelanbar gazed at Yongxue City with a cold smile, "Gu Chen, do you think these are all the tricks I have? To deal with you, I've prepared a special gift!"

As his voice fell, instantly, a sky-spanning black fog surged in, swarming with at least a hundred demons and ghosts!

Not just that, amid the black fog, a ghastly figure emerged—its presence chilling to the extreme—a powerful prison-level demon ghost!

At that moment, the prison-level demon ghost arrived beside Yelanbar, its cold, ghastly pupils also staring at Gu Chen, who stood atop the walls of Yongxue City.

And in the black fog, a horde of many demons and ghosts rushed toward all the soldiers of Da Xia to the sound of eerie howls.

The appearance of this group of demons and ghosts became the final straw that broke the resolve of the people of Da Xia.

Especially with that prison-level demon ghost, alongside a demon-infused Yelanbar, meaning Gu Chen alone was facing off against three warriors at the mid-phase of the Coagulation Field realm, the pinnacle of martial arts.

At this moment, even Yan Qing and others, who had immense faith in Gu Chen, felt their hearts nearly sinking to the bottom.

"It's over!"
