"What an impressive piece of soundwave magical equipment."
According to Li Yao's analysis, the double truncheons that the black-armored general was using should boast the ability to stimulate one's nerve endings with soundwaves and increase one's fighting will or fear. They should be rather impressive magical equipment for group attacks.
However, to trigger the fighting will of his own people and shatter the courage of the enemy with the same soundwave, there must be a very advanced 'identification rune array' at work.
Li Yao pondered carefully, but he failed to figure out the mechanism of the rune array and how it was carved.
It appeared that this Sector had its unique expertise in refining that was worth studying, too.
The barbarians' roars were like some sort of call. A swarm of bizarre-shaped, hideous birds suddenly rose from the depths of the forest and flew to the sky in panic.
Countless ancient trees also collapsed, making the earth rumble, as if an enormous rock weighing ten thousand kilograms was rolling over from the forest.
Very soon, an enormous tree so thick that it would take five people to wrap their arms around it rushed toward the emperor's army. Immediately, four soldiers were blown to smithereens.
Amidst a burst of ear-piercing laughter, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the depths of the forest. It was a huge demon beast that was seven to eight meters long, covered in heavy armor, with long horns and bone tumors on its head. It looked like a rhinoceros and a giant elephant.
The rhinoceros demon beast was rampaging in the center of the emperor's army like a crystal tank in the medieval era.
Its skin was thick, and there were lumps everywhere. Common auras of blades and auras could not pierce into its skin at all.
Also, every time it charged, at least five soldiers of the emperor's army would be blown away into pieces and killed before they had the chance to scream.
Behind the rhinoceros demon beast, an altar made of vines had been set up. A bald, muscular man in a loose robe was sitting cross-legged on the altar, chuckling nonstop.
This bald, brawny man was extremely fat. The fat on his body rose and fell like waves as he laughed. It just so happened that his body was covered in colorful tattoos. They were all pictures of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. When he shook his body, it was as if countless poisonous insects were crawling all over his body. It made one's scalp tingle and hair stand on end.
The bald, muscular man was waving a saber made of bone that was embedded with nine bone rings. If one were to look carefully, they would notice that the nine bone rings were encircled by the skulls of a lot of reptiles, which were uttering clanging noises.
On the white bone saber, grey veins that looked like withered vines were attached to it, giving it a very evil and strange feeling.
The bald, muscular man should be the soul of the army of barbarians.
The moment he showed up, the previous lethargy of the army of barbarians was entirely gone.
The tiny skulls on his saber that were clanging noises shattered the echoes of the collision of the generals of the emperor's army.
Hearing the noises, the soldiers of the emperor's army nearby all looked disgusted and nauseous. Many of them were sweating hard with gloomy faces.
Li Yao knew that it was an instinctive reaction caused by the abnormal secretion of hormones in the body when the nerve endings were stimulated. It was not something that could be resisted with courage.
It seemed that attacking the nerves with soundwaves was a rather common technique in this Sector. Every force would use it.
Seeing that the enemy's attack had been thwarted, the bald, muscular man laughed even more crazily. He flipped his saber, and the dozens of tiny skulls on the nine rings were all enshrouded in a weird force field and flew into the air.
Those skulls should be the skulls of snakes, lizards, and other reptiles. If one looked into their tiny eye sockets, they would see tiny eccentric fire hidden at the core of the skulls.
The moment they flew into the air, the eccentric fire expanded abruptly and dashed out of the eye sockets and the jaws, condensing into tiny snakes, lizards, and other reptiles that dashed at the soldiers of the emperor's army nearby.
But the soldiers that were hit by the eccentric fire of the skulls were often burnt into burnt corpses instantly.
In the meantime, not only was the eccentric fire burning more and more vigorously, the scent of blood was also sent back to the fat, bald man's saber through the dozens of tiny skulls.
The withered veins on the saber suddenly expanded. At the core where the veins were intertwined, an organ that was beating like a heart was formed.
A combination of flesh and magical equipment.
Bloodthirsty Saber!
Li Yao exclaimed in his heart.
He had seen similar magical equipment deep inside 'Chaos' Ba Yanzhi's mausoleum before.
It was a piece of magical equipment that could hibernate for a long time and cruise, alert, and attack automatically with the essence of blood as the energy source.
Such magical equipment in the Mausoleum of Chaos all came from 'Kunlun', a relic of the Pangu civilization.
The planet he was on was probably a relic of the Pangu civilization that was even larger in scale. It was not strange that such magical equipment existed.
It seemed that the emperor's army was about to fail.
The black-armored general under the great mace of the 'Appeasing Ambassador' was shaking uncontrollably with a pale face. He bashed the mace hard, raising soundwaves.
However, the special soundwaves could only boost the morale of the soldiers and keep the battle formation in order at best. They could not stop the skulls and the eccentric fire from raging.
The more he killed, the more dazzling the bloody aura on the fat, bald man's saber became. Very soon, the aura of the saber extended to more than ten meters away, emitting a pungent, sour, sweet, and stinky smell.
The fat, bald man grinned hideously. Baring his sharp teeth, he slapped the rhinoceros demon beast below him and charged at the black-armored general.
Judging from the range of spiritual energy around them, the brightness of their spiritual energy, and their utilization of magical equipment, Li Yao estimated that the generals on the emperor's army's side were in the beginning level of the Core Formation Stage at best.
The fat, bald man was at least in the middle level of the Core Formation Stage, which was much better than the enemy's.
Also, his saber was even more powerful than the mace of the general of the emperor's army.
The rhinoceros demon beast below him was much more intimidating than the horse of the general of the emperor's army, too.
There was no need to ask to know the result of such a competition.
"Neigh!"
The horse below the general of the emperor's army had stripes in the shape of swirls on its ribs, as if it had grown wings. It did not seem to be an ordinary animal. At the very least, it was a hybrid of a magnificent horse and a certain spiritual beast.
However, however hybrid it was, it was no match for the rhinoceros that was brimming with demonic energy.
Seeing that the enemy was pressing close like a mountain of meat, the horse was so shocked that it stood on its hind legs, almost throwing the general of the emperor's army off its back.
Naturally, the fat, bald man would not let go of such a great opportunity. His body, which seemed to weigh almost five hundred kilograms, turned out to be as light as a swallow. He lunged at the general of the emperor's army in a streak of redness.
Right then, an abrupt change took place.
Behind the general of the emperor's army was a banner that read 'Appeasing Ambassador of the Fifth Prefecture of the Southland of Sorcerers'. Behind the banner, there was also a crooked tent. The tent was quiet and seemed to be empty. There was not the slightest sound even when the battle was most intense.
But out of his expectation, right when the fat, bald man was out of tricks, a bluish sword suddenly dashed out from the curtain of the tent that was slightly open.
The sword aura was soundless and devoid of any smoke. Like an invisible pen, it drew a straight line in midair and pierced the center of the fat, bald man's eyebrow.
The fat, bald man seemed to have sensed the most dreadful existence in the world. He shrieked, and cracking noises were echoing all over his body. Breaking dozens of bones, he managed to stop his charge, only to be bounced back as if he had hit an invisible barrier.
After only one moment, he realized that it was a well-designed trap.
His reaction was surprisingly fast, but the blue sword aura was even faster. After an abrupt turn in midair, it did not draw an arc but almost a right angle, locking onto the center of his eyebrows in a trajectory that was completely against the laws of physics.
Grumbling noises echoed from the abdomen of the fat, bald man, as if ten thousand toads were roaring inside. He opened his mouth and suddenly spurted out a colorful mist of blood, trying to pollute the bluish sword aura.
The bluish sword aura, however, suddenly split into eight swords that were even thinner before the venomous mist reached it. They dashed in all directions and gathered above the fat, bald man's head again after turning at right angles and sharp angles that were not smooth at all.
Light and shadow interweaved into the shape of an upside-down orchid and pressed down abruptly.
Shua!
The orchid made of hundreds of sword auras pierced through the fat, bald man's enormous body from top to bottom.
The fat on the fat, bald man's undulating fat suddenly came to a stop.
With fury and panic on his face, he pointed his bloody saber at the depths of the tent.
The curtain of the tent was lifted. A young woman whose clothes were whiter than snow strolled out of the tent casually with her hands behind her back.
Her nose bridge was extremely high, like a mountain range that stretched across the sea of clouds. Her two eyebrows were handsome, like two mountain peaks that pierced the nine heavens. Her eyes were bright and full of expression, but they also revealed a self-confidence that bordered on indifference. The battle in front of her, along with everything in the mortal world, seemed to have nothing to do with her, but also seemed to be able to be decided by her with a single finger.
Such a look of confidence mixed with arrogance that bordered on narcissism was the standard expression of many ancient Cultivators in Li Yao's memories.
"That's a Golden Dan expert!"
The girl did not conceal her spiritual waves. Her intimidating aura spread out like a flood. Therefore, Li Yao could tell after a quick glance that she was at least in the high level of the Core Formation Stage, only two steps away from Yuanying.
As for her flying sword …
Hundreds of blue sword auras, after piercing through the fat, bald man's body, spread out and pierced through the hearts of dozens of barbarians.
However, as a result, the sword auras seemed to be dimmer than before, probably because they had been tainted by the blood of the barbarians.
The woman in white let out a whistle, and the hundreds of sword lights all flew back to her side. She rolled them up with her wide sleeves, and they disappeared.
Li Yao noticed an interesting detail.
The girl's clothes were pure white, without the slightest stain. But after the sword auras were absorbed into her sleeves, a tiny orchid flower suddenly appeared on the edge of her sleeves, which seemed to be dancing in the wind. It was quite beautiful.
"A rather advanced magical equipment."
