One Heart of the Ocean was a colonel.
Two was a general!
Three was a marshal!
Four was the Demon King!
Five was also the highest level. It should be the True Devil Emperor himself.
It sounded like a small soldier wasn't worth mentioning, but the problem was that the small soldier in front of Ling Xiao was actually a half-step Empyrean with 10% of his strength.
This was the lowest level of soldiers, yet they were still so strong!
Of course, this level of strength was no longer a threat to Ling Xiao. He casually shot out an Qi sword, and the small soldier shattered into mist.
Ling Xiao continued forward, but before he could walk more than ten meters, he encountered a similar situation. However, this time, he encountered a second level soldier with 20% of his strength, a half-step Empyrean.
The third time he encountered a third level soldier with 30% of his strength, a half-step Empyrean.
At the same time, similar situations occurred in the other three hundred or so completely sealed spaces.
"What's going on? This is different from what Senior Brother said. How can the enemy be so strong?"
"How powerful was the Demon Suppressing Empire back then? Even a small soldier is so terrifying."
"It's over. It seems like I won't have a chance to continue moving forward."
"But if I stay here and cultivate for more than ten minutes, I will still be attacked. As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
The battles were going on at the same time in these places, and more and more disciples were killed or took the initiative to withdraw.
After three rounds of battles, more than twenty disciples had left the True Devil Forbidden Area helplessly.
Not many died, only two of them. They were the kind of fellows who didn't know what was good for them.
Outside the Demon Suppressing Forbidden Area.
In the blood-red desert.
Suddenly, more than twenty figures appeared.
"Zhao Zhi!"
"Zhao Ci!"
Yuehua School's Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci were eliminated. There was nothing they could do, they were not strong enough to face a third level soldier, but they knew to quit while they were ahead, so they followed Ling Xiao's instructions and left.
"I'm sorry, Sect Master. Our performance was not good enough!"
"Hahaha, it's already very good, very good! To be able to enter the True Devil Imperial Palace, your ranking is at least within the top four hundred. This result is already very good, maybe even better. “
Wu Xiang laughed. He didn't look depressed.
"Right, how are Ling Xiao and the others?" Heavenly Premier Golden Light hurried over and asked.
"It should be fine. We were only able to enter the final place thanks to Senior Brother Ling. Even my current cultivation was only possible thanks to Senior Brother Ling."
Zhao Zhi said excitedly.
"A half-step Empyrean with 20% of his strength! How did he improve so quickly? "
Wu Xiang checked Zhao Zhi's cultivation and was immediately taken aback.
"Zhao Ci isn't bad either. She's already a half-step Empyrean with 10% of her strength."
Empyrean Heavenly Eye also looked at Zhao Ci, very satisfied.
In the past, Heavenly Lord Heavenly Eye did not place Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci, these two disciples, in his eyes. But now, these two people had become the two most outstanding among all his disciples. This really made people sigh.
"How are our sect's casualties?"
Zhao Zhi asked.
This was because too many people had died before entering the True Demon Imperial Palace, especially Li Youdao and Tang Jiu. Basically, every disciple they encountered could not escape from their ruthless hands. Only the people from the three southern sects were spared.
"Fortunately, more than ten people died. The rest have all returned. Some sects are too miserable. More than a hundred people went in, but only a dozen or so survived."
Zhao Zhi turned his head and saw that the leaders of some sects were beating their chests and stamping their feet in grief.
He sighed in his heart.
The other sects were different from the Yuehua School.
Everyone in the Yuehua School had a secret technique scroll, which was refined with the help of Ling Xiao.
Therefore, they could escape when they encountered danger.
However, the other sects did not have so many secret technique scrolls. It was good enough that each sect had 20 or 30 scrolls. The rest did not have any scrolls. The only way to escape was to run outside.
However, how could they escape when they were not as strong as others? Naturally, there were many casualties.
The people from the Yuehua School sighed. They were also glad that their sect had someone like Ling Xiao.
At this moment, Ling Xiao was still fighting in the enclosed space.
Interestingly, every time he killed a soldier formed by the black fog, the black fog would merge into his body and become pure True Essence energy.
His cultivation level would increase a little.
At this rate, it was much faster than sitting cross-legged and cultivating.
The soldier in front of him was a fifth-level soldier with 50% of his strength, a half-step Heavenly Venerable.
To Ling Xiao, this was not a strong opponent, but it was just a small soldier.
He wondered how strong the soldiers that appeared next would be. Would their strength be equivalent to the top 100 geniuses in the Martial Arts Festival?
Whoosh!
Again, it was just a sword of energy that shattered the soldier. The black fog merged into Ling Xiao's body and turned into pure energy.
The rest of the people were probably in the same situation.
While gaining benefits, the danger they faced also increased.
Naturally, it was better to kill as many of these things as possible.
However, when the strength of a half-step Heavenly Venerable reached 50%, there were even fewer people who could fight against it.
The number of people who failed started to increase.
More than 20 people had been eliminated just now. Now, there were close to 100 people who had been eliminated.
Although there were more half-step Heavenly Venerable martialists with 50% of their strength than in the previous preliminaries, there were only about 200 of them.
Moreover, some martialists might not be able to defeat these fifth-level soldiers at the same level. It was completely normal for them to be eliminated.
Fortunately, this was an enclosed space. If they could not win, they could take the initiative to give up and run away. They would not be chased by the disciples of the other sects. Therefore, the death rate was greatly reduced. Most of them were eliminated and had no choice but to return the way they came.
Of course, those who had secret technique scrolls could directly teleport out.
On the Yuehua School's side, Lan Yu 'er could still maintain her composure.
However, Dai Yuling and Leng Hao were having a harder time.
Long Chen from the Divine Sword Sect had already entered his golden dragon form. He relied on his strong defense to persist. Otherwise, he would have been eliminated long ago.
While many martialists were still facing fifth-level and fourth-level soldiers, Ling Xiao was already facing a sergeant.
Sergeants were divided into three ranks: sergeant, sergeant, and corporal.
Originally, Ling Xiao thought that a corporal's strength was only at 60% of a half-step Heavenly Venerable. However, when he actually encountered one, he discovered that he was wrong.
This fellow was not at 60% of a half-step Heavenly Venerable, but had directly soared to 80% of a half-step Heavenly Venerable!
This was a leap in strength.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath. Among the martialists who entered the True Demon Forbidden Zone this time, the ones with the highest cultivation were Yan Liehuo and Li Youdao.
Tang Jiu was also at this level, but he was already dead.
They were all at 80% of a half-step Heavenly Venerable.
If Ling Xiao wanted to defeat them, then this corporal would be his touchstone.
"You came at the right time!"
Ling Xiao faintly smiled and took out the Overflow Rain Sword. He was prepared to have a good battle with this corporal. He wanted to completely master his newly comprehended sword moves.
