Juyu inclined her head and stared at the screen of light above her as waves of shock rose in her heart.
Her deep eyes glanced at Qin Wentian who was at the side. She only saw that Qin Wentian's hands were like the hands of a fiendgod, unceasingly hammering on the battle drum. Every time he hammered, the sound of thunder would resound out as the ancient characters on the drum soared into the sky.
Lu Xuejia frowned, her countenance was cold. The magic knights behind her all acted at the same time. In an instant, the sound of the battle drum rumbled as boundless devil might converged together, transforming into a heaven slaying devil sword. This devil sword was extremely thin and seemed to be able to slice through space.
As the sword slashed down, the screen of ancient characters was slashed apart. However, the toughness of these characters was extremely terrifying. Even though they were slashed apart, they still frenziedly resisted, causing the devil might of the devil sword to gradually dissipate.
Juyu and the magic knights behind her acted at the same time, launching their counterattacks at Lu Xuejia. Since Lu Xuejia had already chosen them as her opponent, they could only fight.
In a short instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the thunderous sounds of war drums. The first devil general quietly sat on his war chariot, like a golden-armored devil king. He didn't even act and the magic knights behind him were also the strongest legion in the Blackstone Devil Sect other than the Blackstone Devil King. They were invincible.
The second-ranked devil general, the Blood Butcher, stared at the battlefield with interest, but he didn't fight as well.
The third-ranked devil general, Zong Yan, turned to Huang Hanling beside him and asked, "Should we act and directly eliminate them?"
"No rush. My target is his life. Let him enter the next round." Huang Hanling replied.
"Since this is the case, things are easy to handle." Zong Yan spoke. "Tell Lu Xuejia to stop."
"Yes." The magic knight behind him acknowledged the order and started beating his war drum. A moment later, his demonic aura transformed into a terrifying black flame dragon that charged towards Lu Xuejia. Lu Xuejia's expression froze. She slammed her fists against the war drum and deflected the flame dragon with a single swing of her sword.
"I want him to advance." Zong Yan spoke, causing Lu Xuejia's expression to turn unsightly. The third-ranked devil general Zong Yan was truly tyrannical. He wanted Qin Wentian to break through and he wanted her to stop.
However, in order to avoid Zong Yan's attacks again, Lu Xuejia stopped. She stopped her attacks on Qin Wentian and Juyu and only coldly glanced at them. It was as though she was telling Qin Wentian and Juyu that they were lucky enough to escape this calamity.
At this time, there was already a devil general who was defeated in battle. His war drum shattered and he almost spat out blood. This person was ranked 28th, the 28th devil general.
"Seems like my ranking has risen." Juyu smiled.
Qin Wentian glanced in the direction of Zong Yan and Huang Hanling. He naturally knew that they didn't really want to help him. Instead, they wanted to toy with him and take his life.
Let him advance?
Well, let's wait and see.
The devil generals were eliminated one after another. Because of the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan's domineering participation, there were actually no other devil generals who dared to attack Juyu. In the end, when the rankings of the remaining fourteen were confirmed, Juyu wasn't among them.
This time around, the 28th devil general, Juyu, directly entered the top fourteen.
Such an ending caused Juyu to feel that it was a little funny.
The fourteen devil generals retreated from the battlefield.
The devil formation vanished, leaving behind fourteen devil generals on the battlefield.
The first-ranked devil general who was sitting on the war chariot opened his eyes and swept his gaze over the battlefield. "Next, we will choose the eighth to fourteenth devil generals. As for the exact ranking, you all should be clear of the rules."
"What rules?" Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Juyu.
"Chaotic general battle." Juyu's expression was solemn. Being able to enter the top fourteen was already a stroke of luck. For this battle, there was also Huang Hanling and Lu Xuejia targeting her. Most probably, she wouldn't be able to advance any further.
"Chaotic general battle, the protectors will be the protectors. If the protectors win, they can continue to stay on the battlefield. But if the protectors are defeated, the devil generals will have to fight against the opposing devil generals and protectors. If they lose, they will be directly eliminated. Similarly, if the protectors win against the opposing three, their opponents will be eliminated." Juyu spoke.
"In other words, when a group of protectors and devil generals are defeated, they would be the first to be eliminated." Qin Wentian spoke.
"You can understand it that way." Juyu nodded.
"In that case, if the protectors are stronger than the devil generals, wouldn't things be interesting?" Qin Wentian silently mused. However, thinking about it, such a situation shouldn't have happened normally. Protectors were stronger than devil generals and most probably, they would have long thought of ways to replace the general. How could it be protectors? Unless the protectors of the devil generals in the top rankings were more powerful than the devil generals in the bottom rankings?
For example, the protectors of the first-ranked devil general might be stronger than the lower-ranked devil generals. However, they would rather be the protectors of the first-ranked devil general as there were many benefits. Although they were only protectors in name, their authority wouldn't be any weaker compared to the lower-ranked devil generals.
"Also, in this battle, there might be situations where one dies. If you know you will lose for sure, it's best to concede earlier." Juyu transmitted her voice over to remind Qin Wentian.
"Lu Xuejia, your protector seems to have been chosen at the last minute. I'm afraid the battlefield would be disadvantageous to you. If you are willing to accompany me for a chat, I can get my protector to deal with that fellow for you. How about it?" Situ laughed.
Lu XueJia's beautiful eyes glanced at Situ as she spoke, "Protectors aren't devil generals. The outcome of this battle will ultimately be decided by the devil general. Even if my protector is defeated, I will still be able to advance forward."
"Juyu, this originally shouldn't be your position. For this battle, your protector should fight first. Scram quickly." A devil general impolitely spoke. Juyu was originally the last-ranked devil general and could only reach this step by luck. Now, it's time for her to scram.
"I will protect you and help you get into the top seven." Qin Wentian spoke to Juyu, his words causing Juyu to freeze. After that, she only saw Qin Wentian walking out. Upon seeing this scene, Juyu smiled and spoke to the protector beside her, "Follow him to battle."
"Right." That protector nodded and walked out together with Qin Wentian.
"Get your protector to come out." Qin Wentian stared at Lu Xuejia as he spoke.
Lu Xuejia's countenance turned cold. Before this, Qin Wentian had already slain one of her protectors. Most probably, her other protector wouldn't be a match for Qin Wentian as well.
"You should know how you advanced. Since you chose me for the first battle, I will make you regret it." Lu Xuejia spoke. Her two protectors stepped out as they stared at Qin Wentian with a heavy expression on their faces.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian's destructive immortal energy gushed forth frenziedly. An instant later, a pitch-black ancient halberd formed from destructive law energy appeared in his hand, resembling the color of his astral soul.
At this moment, Qin Wentian no longer exuded that calmness. The him now only exuded a tyrannical sharpness.
Since this was a battlefield for devil cultivators, he would use the stance of a devil sect to suppress them.
"BOOM!" A violent aura gushed forth. Right now, Qin Wentian's aura was extremely terrifying. Although he was only at the seventh-level of immortal-foundation, the towering might he exuded caused the protectors of Lu Xuejia to feel their hearts trembling.
Qin Wentian stepped out, arriving in front of one of Lu Xuejia's protectors with a single step. His ancient halberd violently slashed out, causing the winds and clouds to change. The destructive might contained within the halberd was like a bloody maw, wanting to devour the life of the protector.
That protector roared in rage. His entire body shone with a terrifying blood-colored devil light. He gathered all his strength and blasted out a devil punch.
With a deafening sound, the fist light shattered apart. The terrifying ancient halberd shone with an extreme destructive light, wanting to annihilate everything. With a piercing sound, the ancient halberd directly pierced into the body of the protector, killing him.
Lu Xuejia's countenance changed. Although she knew that her protector might not be able to defeat Qin Wentian, she didn't expect that he would be defeated so miserably. One couldn't help but say that choosing Qin Wentian as her protector was an extremely wise choice. Sadly, he had a grudge with the third-ranked devil general.
Qin Wentian brandished his ancient halberd and walked towards another protector. That protector retreated as his countenance turned pale, "I concede."
Leaving aside how powerful Qin Wentian was, there was still another protector beside Qin Wentian. There was basically no chance of victory, he could only concede.
With a domineering strike from Qin Wentian, Lu Xuejia's protector was defeated.
The reason why Qin Wentian was so domineering was because he wanted to tell these devil generals that those who wanted to find trouble with him better be more careful. This could also be considered a reply to the devil general who berated Juyu earlier. If they wanted to eliminate Juyu, they had to first pass through this protector.
And if they wanted to eliminate Lu Xuejia, they had to pass through her protector first.
Now, Lu Xuejia's protector was defeated.
Next, it was Lu Xuejia's turn to fight.
Lu Xuejia's expression was cold. Her eyes were extremely cold as she stared at Qin Wentian. "Are you feeling unresigned because I abandoned you? In the devil sect, what's the use of feeling unresigned? "
As she spoke, Lu Xuejia stepped out. Law energy circulated around her as devil energy permeated her entire body. Her gaze caused people to feel fear in their hearts.
For this battle, Lu Xuejia needed to challenge three devil generals and protectors. She didn't have to choose between Qin Wentian and Juyu. However, she would only choose Qin Wentian and Juyu.
"Juyu, scram out." Lu Xuejia coldly spoke. After that, Juyu also stepped onto the battlefield.
For this battle, the loser would be eliminated, becoming the fourteenth devil general.
Undoubtedly, the possibility of Juyu being defeated was higher.
Lu Xuejia has been a devil general for tens of years. How could the last-ranked general and a protector be able to shake her position?
Although Qin Wentian might be very strong among protectors, how could a protector be able to compare to a devil general?
"I will restrain her. The two of you will assist me." Juyu spoke to Qin Wentian and Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed when he heard this. After that, he smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Juyu, the last-ranked devil general, are you even qualified to fight against me?" As the sound of Lu Xuejia's voice faded, devil swords manifested around her. Devil sword diagrams manifested on her body as though she was stepping on a body of devil swords. This was the law of the devil, the law of the sword.
Her eyes didn't look at Juyu but was staring at Qin Wentian instead. She coldly spoke, "Before this, I was restricted from borrowing the power of the war drum. But now, the traitor is facing me directly. How can he not die?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her palm. A moment later, a tiny devil sword could be seen in her palm. However, the light radiating from this devil sword caused everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.
