When Lu Xuejia heard Qin Wentian's voice, her countenance instantly turned cold. She turned her head back, her cold eyes gleaming with a terrifying might.
"I climbed all the way to where I am today from a lowly background, becoming the ninth-ranked general of the Blackstone Devil Sect. How can I let you obstruct my path? Naturally, I won't waver my heart because of a single sentence from you." Lu Xuejia's eyes were cold. Qin Wentian also agreed with this point.
Many of these devil generals of the Blackstone Devil Sect relied on their own strength to slaughter their way up. Even for people with similar cultivation bases, Qin Wentian couldn't help but to admit that the devil cultivators of the Myriad Devil Islands all had a ruthless and decisive temperament. This had something to do with the environment they grew up in. In such a cruel world, if one wasn't ruthless, they wouldn't be able to climb up step by step.
Back then, the Tiandao Sacred Academy gathered a batch of the most outstanding geniuses in the immortal realms. But in truth, many of them were born extraordinary. Without a powerful character to guide them, how could they cross the vast distance to arrive at the entrance of the Sacred Academy? There was naturally no need to doubt their talent or they wouldn't have been able to pass the selection test of the Sacred Academy.
In this tiny devil island of the Blackstone Devil Sect, the talent of the eighteen generals clearly couldn't be compared to the geniuses of the Sacred Academy. But the aura they exuded wasn't weak at all.
Qin Wentian stared at Lu Xuejia's eyes as he emotionlessly spoke, "You naturally won't waver because of a single sentence from me. But you have already admitted that you don't even have the courage to contend against the third-ranked devil general."
"Do you believe that I can kill you right now?" Lu Xuejia's killing intent involuntarily gushed forth when she saw that Qin Wentian wanted to waver her heart. A cold intent enveloped Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian saw the threat in her eyes and no longer bothered about her. He turned and left this place. Since he couldn't participate in the devil war this time around, he would fight for the position of devil general in the future.
"Wait." At this moment, a voice called out to Qin Wentian.
Stopping in his tracks, Qin Wentian turned around and looked at a Devil General standing in the corner. This Devil General was probably one of the most inconspicuous Devil Generals in the crowd. The protectors and magic knights around her were all slightly weaker than the people behind Lu Xuejia.
Although they were both women, her strength and status were clearly inferior to Lu XueJia. Even her appearance was slightly inferior.
However, to be able to become a devil general, there was no need to doubt her temperament. Her pair of bright, pitch-black eyes sparkled.
Juyu, the # 28 devil general, ranked last.
"Do you want to participate in this Devil War?" Juyu stared at Qin Wentian as she asked. Qin Wentian nodded. He wanted to become a devil general. To him, this was an opportunity, he naturally had to participate.
"Since you wish to participate, you naturally have already made your preparations. In that case, why don't I give you a chance? Are you willing to be my protector knight?" Juyu sent out an invitation to Qin Wentian. All the devil generals stared at Juyu with interest. Lu Xuejia abandoned him, was she going to recruit him as her subordinate?
In addition, Zong Yan's protector wanted Qin Wentian's life.
But soon after, they understood what Juyu meant by that. Hence, they merely smiled in response.
"Okay." Qin Wentian replied with a single word. After that, he returned to the side of Juyu.
"Are you not afraid of offending the third-ranked devil general?" Qin Wentian transmitted his voice over.
"Lu Xuejia is a proud and aloof person. She relied on herself to kill her way into the devil hall and sit on that position. I naturally believe that there's no problem with her judgement. Since she could let you become her protector, I'm sure you must have some outstanding points. I myself am the last-ranked devil general, there's no need for me to lose. Even if you are killed in battle, there's no loss to me."
Juyu replied in a voice transmission. Her reply was extremely direct, causing Qin Wentian to laugh.
The last-ranked devil general, unless he was replaced by someone else, he would still be ranked last even if he lost.
"No matter what reason you have, since you have given me a chance, I naturally won't disappoint you." Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the experts, only to see Lu Xuejia coldly staring at him. "You are a devil knight under me. Although the rules of the devil path aren't strict, you already deserve death for betraying me."
"You abandoned me like a shoe, do you still want me to be loyal to you?" Qin Wentian mocked. Although it hasn't been long since he came to the Myriad Devil Islands, he already had an initial understanding of the way the people here did things.
"Just you wait." Lu Xuejia's expression was cold. She then glanced at Juyu. She ordered a devil knight behind her to replace Qin Wentian. Before this, her protector was killed by Qin Wentian and now, Qin Wentian was abandoned and became Juyu's subordinate. This was indeed a great loss but in order to not directly stand against the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan, it was still worth it.
From afar, more experts flew over. When the eyes of everyone turned over, a look of respect could be seen on their faces.
The person in the lead was a burly man filled with boundless strength. His gaze was incomparably imposing and when he swept his gaze over, no one dared to match his gaze. The Blood Butcher, the second-ranked devil general, his ranking was even higher than Zong Yan. He was covered in blood and back then when he entered the Blackstone Devil Sect and became a devil general, he had once cleansed a devil palace in blood before entering the devil hall and taking over the position.
That battle caused rivers of blood to flow. From then on, he had another nickname - Blood Butcher.
The Blood Butcher stood there, exuding a fearsome aura, causing people to not dare to look at him directly.
At this moment, a whistling wind could be heard from afar. A young man in golden robes could be seen sitting on a war chariot. The devil knights beneath him carried the war chariot forward and landed on a corner of the public square, causing a thunderous sound to echo out. His eyes swept over the crowd but no one dared to match his gaze.
This man, was none other than the first-ranked devil general.
Nobody knew his name, only the Blackstone Devil King would know.
He was called the first-ranked devil general and had always been the first-ranked devil general. Ever since the other generals entered the devil gate, his position as the first-ranked devil general had never been replaced by anyone before.
Hence, there was no need for a name. He was the first-ranked devil general and the first-ranked devil general was him.
Some people said that although he looked young, he was actually an old monster who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years. Some said that his cultivation base was already nearing the devil king realm and could step into it at any moment, becoming the fifth devil lord under the Blackstone Devil King.
"RUMBLE!" The war chariot of the first-ranked devil general crumbled the ground, sinking into the ground. Numerous runes of light flashed, incomparably resplendent. In an instant, a terrifying grand formation appeared in the vast public square. At the locations of the twenty devil generals, war drums could be seen. At this instant, they weren't in the public square, they were in the battlefield instead.
"Same old rules. For the first battle, all the devil generals and the devil knights under them will participate. Whoever is killed first or is blasted out first will be ranked last. After this battle, the remaining fourteen devil generals will be chosen." The first-ranked devil general spoke. He was the first-ranked devil general and his authority was the highest. As long as there was no one who could replace him, he would be the one with the highest authority here and could give out orders.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" As the sound of his voice faded, the sound of the war drums rang out. In an instant, devil might engulfed everything. At this moment, Qin Wentian felt that he wasn't standing on the public square of the devil sect but a real battlefield instead.
The war drums rang out and the battle began.
For this battle, not only were the devil generals participating, the devil knights under them were all participating as well. Each of them had a war drum in front of them.
Huang Hanling stared in the direction of Qin Wentian, he didn't act immediately. Qin Wentian had to die no matter what. After all, this was the adjudication battle. If he killed one more, there would be one less.
However, since this Qin Wentian could cause such a huge commotion in the Sacred Academy, he most probably wouldn't be so weak. It wouldn't be so easy to use the war drums to kill him. Let's hope that he can continue on this path.
Lu Xuejia's cold eyes stared in the direction of Qin Wentian. Her hands radiated terrifying devil might. She closed her eyes and slammed her palms onto the war drum. In an instant, the war drum rumbled as numerous heaven-shaking devil swords slashed down from the sky, aiming for Qin Wentian.
Juyu's fair hands trembled as she slammed her palms onto the war drum. A gigantic devil shield appeared in the air, but as the numerous swords slashed down, cracks appeared on the shield. Juyu frowned, this Lu Xuejia was truly ruthless, directly targeting Qin Wentian at the start of the battle.
"The battle has already started, be careful." Juyu spoke to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian nodded lightly. The people of the devil sect were all about efficiency, directly starting the battle without any nonsense.
"Kacha!" The cracks on the devil shield widened. Lu Xuejia continuously blasted the war drum and as the crisp sounds rang out, the devil shield shattered. A terrifying devil sword directly slashed towards Qin Wentian's throat. As this sword appeared, Qin Wentian felt that he wouldn't be able to escape.
His immortal sense infused into the war drum as a terrifying palm imprint blasted out ferociously. As the sword slashed down, the palm imprint shattered. The remnant might from the sword slashed onto Qin Wentian's drum, almost causing it to explode. Qin Wentian felt a piercing pain in his immortal sense.
Such a battle was extremely tyrannical. Both sides borrowed the power of the war drum and were in a completely defenseless state, using offense against offense.
Seeing the ninth-ranked devil general Lu Xuejia acting, the other generals naturally wouldn't participate in this battle. They chose their own opponents instead. As for those devil generals who were ranked at the top, they were the most relaxed. They simply had the attitude of spectators, nobody dared to take the initiative to challenge them. They only needed to watch quietly.
"I will temporarily block her." Juyu's expression changed, becoming somewhat cold. Lu Xuejia wanted her to be the first to be eliminated.
"Since fourteen devil generals are selected, fourteen will be eliminated. In that case, there's no need to fight at all." Qin Wentian stared at the situation. The three-ranked devil generals were all extremely relaxed, nobody dared to fight. These were the weaker ones who were fighting for the last fourteen spots, hoping to be ranked higher.
As for Lu Xuejia acting, it was purely because of him.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" Lu Xuejia's magic knights also attacked, rushing towards Qin Wentian's camp.
Qin Wentian's immortal sense was very familiar with the war drum. He abruptly blasted out with both his hands, causing the sounds of drums to echo out unceasingly. In an instant, in the airspace above their camp, numerous gigantic ancient characters appeared, transforming into a screen of light that enveloped this entire space.
"There's no need to waste any effort in this battle." Qin Wentian spoke to Juyu. Zong Yan was the third-ranked devil general, there was no doubt that he wouldn't be eliminated. Lu Xuejia was the ninth-ranked devil general, she wouldn't be eliminated as well. Qin Wentian wasn't in a hurry.
