Bai Lixi smiled faintly and said, "This brat is always full of surprises."
"Bai Lixi, do you know that youth?" one of Bai Lixi's companions asked.
Bai Lixi's smile did not change. He nodded gently and said, "I do. He is the White Robed Bladesman. Let's not keep an eye on the battlefield and follow behind this brat. I guarantee that we will not be in any danger and gain some benefits."
"Is that true?"
Bai Lixi laughed loudly and said, "It is up to you whether you believe me or not. I will only say one thing. The biggest winner of Qianren Island is this brat. Even the Bloody Bladesman and Slaughterer of a Thousand did not obtain as many benefits as he did.
The people behind him whispered to each other. They had disapproving expressions on their faces. Clearly, they did not believe Bai Lixi's words.
However, Bai Lixi laughed loudly and ignored the expressions of these people. No matter what they thought, he had already made up his mind.
The battle in the arena was still incomparably intense. The energy whirlpools stirred up violent gales that never stopped. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the moment when the battle would end.
"Ah …"
Just at this moment, another miserable shriek came from the battlefield. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Another half-step Martial Monarch had died.
"The peak Superior Grade Blood Demons are indeed horrifying. Unexpectedly, two of the half-step Martial Monarchs who normally roam around died today."
"These half-step Martial Monarchs are really not afraid of death. When they saw a peak Superior Grade Blood Demon, they should have left quickly. It would be a pity if they died."
"What do you know? Half-step Martial Monarchs are not true Martial Monarchs. In order to become a Martial Monarch, aside from the various barriers and Essence, the most important thing is to open the sea of consciousness and strengthen their Mental Energy."
"If their Mental Energy does not reach a certain level, they will never be able to break through the barrier to Martial Monarch. Several of them are reaching the end of their lifespans. If they do not stake it all, they will not have another chance."
After the death of another half-step Martial Monarch, the battlefield, which had been silent for a while, resounded with discussions again.
"Secret manuals for tempering Mental Energy are the rarest secret manuals in the continent. There are not many of them. If you want to quickly strengthen your mental strength, you can only rely on external objects. This Blood Devil's monster core is a kind of external object that can train mental strength. "
"Peak Superior Grade Blood Demons normally only appear in the core zone of the Demon Battlefield. That is a place that even Martial Monarchs do not dare to casually enter. Now, they can run into a peak Superior Grade Blood Demon in the inner area. Do you think they will give up?"
When the cultivator who questioned Xiao Chen earlier heard this, he finally understood why this group of half-step Martial Monarchs and above were fighting so hard.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he fell into deep thought. My time is almost up. If I don't give it my all, I really won't have a chance.
Hence, even though they knew that it was very dangerous, even if they eliminated the Blood Demons and faced many cultivators with ill intentions, these half-step Martial Monarchs had no other choice but to fight to the end.
As time went by, another three half-step Martial Monarchs died. The number of people on the other side decreased from eighteen to thirteen.
After fighting for such a long time, the aura of the peak Superior Grade Blood Demon had weakened significantly. Its initial berserk aura soared into the sky. Even people ten kilometers away could feel its aura.
Now, the crowd at the two-kilometer mark no longer felt any pressure. The sun set in the west, and the Blood Demon's time was almost up. In the end, a peak Superior Grade Blood Demon could not deal with close to twenty half-step Martial Monarchs.
In the center of the battlefield, an old man in black robes exuding an incredibly strong aura held a sword in his hand. With a stern expression, he said, "It's about time. The few of us will stop it from self-detonating. Old Ge, Old Huang, Elder, and Old Mu, I will leave the cultivators who will arrive to you."
After a pause, the old man continued, "I will hold onto the Demon Core for now. After this, we will split it evenly. Does anyone have any objections?"
"Old Qin, don't worry. Everyone still believes in the Holy Fire Manor's reputation," the six people who were named answered. Clearly, they trusted the old man.
In reality, this was not the first time this group of people had come to the Demon Battlefield. Every time, Old Qin had been the one in charge.
This old man's prestige and the power behind him guaranteed that they would not fight amongst themselves or kill each other. Hence, they trusted this old man.
A black-robed Blood Demon surrounded by a few people gave off black smoke. A baleful aura radiated from his eyes as he roared angrily. He tried to use a Secret Technique to escape several times, but his escape route was blocked.
The horrifying wounds of various sizes on the Blood Demon's body healed quickly. However, the rate of recovery was not as fast as the number of wounds increased.
Horrifying killing moves containing overwhelming energy bombarded the Blood Demon's body. His lifeforce drained rapidly; his time was almost up.
"I am not satisfied. I spent a thousand years to make a breakthrough. You bunch of lowly humans caused my thousand years of hard work to go to waste. If I die, let's all die together!"
The black-robed Blood Demon said with a ferocious expression. His skin started to swell up quickly.
Old Qin's expression did not change. His deep eyes were like an ancient well. He said calmly, "Very good. He is going to self-detonate. Attack!"
"Boom!
Boom! Boom! "A strong energy burst forth from the center of the battlefield. The red clouds in the sky churned continuously, forming a scarlet whirlpool.
A strong wind blew from the whirlpool, making it hard for the crowd to keep their eyes open.
An overwhelming baleful aura was hidden in the wind. It was like an evil spirit lingering around the crowd. Those who were not mentally strong would collapse on the spot.
"That Blood Demon is going to self-detonate!"
Sensing the monstrous energy, the crowd started to get excited. It was finally over.
No matter what the result was, the group of half-step Martial Monarchs would be exhausted. At that time, they would not be able to block so many people.
"Chi!"
However, just as the energy was about to reach its peak, ten resplendent lights of various colors lit up below the whirlpool. When the lights faded, the whirlpool above them vanished without a trace.
The battle was over. The strong wind that had been sweeping the battlefield for a long time finally stopped, and the dust settled.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "The self-detonation was stopped. It looks like this group of half-step Martial Monarchs came prepared."
"Boom!"
Just at this moment, when the dust settled completely, the Blood Demon suddenly shot out beams of dazzling lights. They were all sorts of Secret Treasures flying through the air.
Xiao Chen counted them roughly. There were at least a hundred Secret Treasures. Two or three of them were rare Medial Grade Secret Treasures.
Secret Treasures could only be used by humans. Fiendish Demons collected Secret Treasures to attract the attention of humans and kill them.
If they wanted to attract more humans and consume their hearts to increase their strength, they needed a sufficient number of Secret Treasures. Normally, the strong Blood Demons would hide a horrifying number of Secret Treasures.
"It's a Secret Treasure. He truly lives up to his reputation as a peak high-rank Blood Demon. He actually collected so many Secret Treasures."
"Ha ha! Indeed, we did not wait in vain. With so many Secret Treasures, everything is worth it."
"Quickly, attack. The Blood Demon is already dead. If we do not attack now, there will be no more opportunities."
The surrounding cultivators, who had been preparing for a long time, naturally did not want to miss this rare opportunity. If the group of half-step Martial Monarchs reacted, it would be too late. "Xiu! Xiu!
Xiu! "
Countless figures rushed towards the center of the battlefield. All the cultivators had excited expressions on their faces as if they could obtain Secret Treasures with a wave of their hands.
The peak Superior Grade Martial Kings in the air charged towards the ground. Relying on their geographical advantage, they were ahead of everyone else.
As Xiao Chen stood on the eagle, his expression remained calm. He did not rush forward with the crowd.
Bai Lixi was already infected by the atmosphere of the crowd. Just as he was about to rush forward, he saw the stunned Xiao Chen. So, he stopped as well.
"Bai Lixi, let's go quickly. If we are any slower, we will not be able to snatch anything."
"Indeed. Although there are many Secret Treasures, there are even more cultivators. If we are late, we will not even be able to snatch the lowest-ranked Secret Treasure."
Bai Lixi had a resolute gaze as he said, "There is no need. You all go first. Be careful. Those half-step Martial Monarchs are not to be trifled with."
"Bai Lixi, you are too timid. Half-step Martial Monarchs are indeed scary. Let's see how capable these half-step Martial Monarchs are. How can they block so many of us?"
"Ha ha! In that case, we will go first. You can wait on your own. When the time comes and you do not obtain anything, don't get jealous."
The group laughed loudly and quickly flew forward. They did not take Bai Lixi's words to heart.
Bai Lixi smiled bitterly and did not say anything. After all, he trusted his intuition. Since Xiao Chen had not made a move, he must have his reasons. "Sou! Sou!
Sou! "
Just as the crowd was about a kilometer away, six old men suddenly appeared. These people were expressionless, and their clothes fluttered without any wind.
Their auras were terrifyingly strong. They did not seem like cultivators who had been exhausted for a long time. It seemed like they had been conserving their energy and had not exhausted themselves at all.
When their auras merged, it was like a tall mountain blocking the path, suppressing everyone until they could not breathe.
"Oh no! These are peak half-step Martial Monarchs." When the peak Superior Grade Martial Kings felt the auras of the six people, they did not hesitate to retreat.
Strong wind, lightning, cold ice, raging flame, earth wall, white fog — six different states spread out wildly from the six half-step Martial Monarchs.
In the blink of an eye, the energy storm that had already stopped raging once again. All kinds of energy burned together, and even the air became a killing weapon, exploding non-stop.
Hundreds of cultivators could not retreat in time and bore the brunt of the attack. The berserk energy immediately tore them to shreds. The few cultivators who managed to escape were severely injured as well. Their flesh split open and they fell to the ground.
Only a few cultivators with peak Inferior Grade defensive Secret Treasures managed to escape unscathed. However, those Secret Treasures were completely shattered; they no longer had any value to use. This was a heart-wrenching sight.
Because Bai Lixi's companions had arrived rather late, they did not notice the situation in front of them.
By the time they arrived, they happened to run into the first wave of the strongest attacks. They did not even have a chance to retreat before they were blasted into smithereens; they could not be any more dead.
Half-step Martial Monarch … what was a half-step Martial Monarch? It was someone who had been a Martial King for a long time. Their state and Essence had already reached the peak of the Martial King realm.
