The River Styx.
There was no end to the Southern yao army. Their eyes shone with a bloodthirsty light as they charged fearlessly into the River Styx.
The dark red blood had already dyed the Nether River black and red. A pungent stench filled the land under the Divine Mountain.
The cultivators were terrified. This battle had come too suddenly. All they could do was wait on the other side of the River Styx, clench their fists, and pray for the River Styx's soldiers.
The attackers' auras were too powerful.
They knew full well that if they crossed the River Styx, the cultivators beneath the Divine Mountains would meet their end.
"You're not allowed to retreat!"
Su Yiyun stood in the sky, his eyes bloodshot and his face covered in blood. He looked like a god of slaughter, roaming the Southern yao army.
Even though the River Styx had always known that the yao would attack one day, he'd long since prepared a countermeasure. That was why the Southern Yao's surprise attack had failed. However, the number of yao they'd sent far exceeded Su Yiyun's or Emperor Hades's expectations.
Their defensive formations crumbled several times, and the River Styx's casualties were no less than the Southern Yao's.
Gradually, the demon beasts of the Southern Kingdom continued to advance fearlessly, but the fierce beasts in the Nether River were afraid of death. The River Styx's defensive line retreated further and further. The Southern Yao hadn't been able to advance even half a meter in six hours, but in the space of a single breath, they'd advanced half a hundred meters.
The Southern Yao's morale grew stronger and stronger, but the River Styx's beasts' terror only deepened.
"All of you, stop right there!"
When he saw that the defensive line was about to collapse, Su Yiyun roared, his eyes bloodshot.
This was the god race's first and last line of defense. If the River Styx broke through, the lands beneath the Divine Mountains would fall. He couldn't let that happen.
Besides, he'd already made a deal with Ye Zichen!
So long as he was alive, the yao could forget about crossing the River Styx into the heart of the God Realm.
"Defend to the death!" "Don't give me orders!" A vicious beast with sharp teeth and a harpoon suddenly appeared among the beasts. "We're just lodging in the River Styx. We're only defending for you out of respect for Emperor Hades. This is clearly a death trap, yet you want us to defend to the death?
Do you really think we're brainless? "
He threw the harpoon in his hand to the ground and glared at Su Yiyun.
"I'm telling you right now, I'm not guarding anymore. I want to see what you can do to me."
Boom.
A beam of Sword Qi blasted in front of the beast, creating a deep pit in the ground in front of its feet. The beast stared blankly for a moment, then tilted its head to look at Su Yiyun.
"Don't challenge my patience. Take your weapon and stand back."
"Heh, what? If I don't go back, would you still dare to kill me? Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch me, don't even think about living in peace. "
The ferocious beast sneered, revealing its sharp fangs. With an especially disdainful gaze, it curled its lips and turned its head away. Without even looking back, it walked towards the shore of the River Styx.
Many of the other beasts were looking at the situation here. In an instant, all the beasts were stunned.
Up in the sky, Su Yiyun had appeared next to the beast at some point. His arm pierced through the beast's body, clutching a blood-red inner core.
This Neidan was the foundation of these fierce beasts and also their lifetime cultivation.
"You ….."
The beast glared at Su Yiyun, who held the Neidan in his hand.
He never would've imagined that this person, who had always been invisible in the River Styx and treated the beasts with utmost caution, would actually dare to attack him.
Of course Su Yiyun dared!
At a time like this, there was no need for him to fear the slightest thing!
As long as the Yao crossed the River Styx in the Southern Kingdom, the River Styx would cease to exist. How could the River Styx be a threat to him if he couldn't find peace?
Because the beasts' life force was rather tenacious, he didn't die after pulling out the Neidan.
With the Neidan in Su Yiyun's hand, the beast was no longer as arrogant as before.
He smiled sheepishly at Su Yiyun. His eyes were filled with apologetic smiles and a pleading look.
"Commander-in-chief Su, I was too impulsive before and didn't think before I spoke. Please forgive me and spare my life. Could you please return the Neidan to me? I'm a diviner, after all. This war needs existences of my level. "
This apologetic smile was a stark contrast to his previous arrogant and despotic demeanor. Looking at the Neidan's smiling face, Su Yiyun's eyes flashed with a piercing cold light.
"It's not like I didn't give you a chance. Now you want to beg for mercy? What were you thinking?"
"Commander-in-chief Su ….."
"You're right. As a diviner, you're very important to this war," said Su Yiyun with a chuckle. The beast smiled and nodded. Then he saw Su Yiyun clench the Neidan, his eyes cold. "But a disobedient diviner like you might as well not have it."
"Su ….."
"Return your soul to the River Styx!"
Bang. Su Yiyun crushed the Neidan in his hand, and the beast's last sliver of life disappeared the moment it was crushed. The beast's power flowed out of the shattered Neidan and returned to the void. Before it died, the beast's eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger. In the end, it closed its eyes and slowly fell to the ground.
On the ground.
The beast was indeed at the diviner realm!
In this battle, the usefulness of a Heaven Tier expert was needless to say. If he survived, he might be able to play a very big role in this battle.
However, in the middle of a war, it couldn't be left alive!
It was like killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.
Su Yiyun wanted to use this beast's death to tell the rest of the beasts.
Either fight to the death on the battlefield, or …. die!
The beast's blood was still dripping from his right hand. The other beasts were silent out of fear. Su Yiyun looked at the beast in front of him and roared, "Whoever dares to take even half a step back ….
"Whoever dares to take even half a step back, he … will end up like you!"
The beasts were terrified. While they feared being killed by Su Yiyun, they were also filled with unconcealable rage. This was basically roasting them over a fire. In front of them was an endless horde of yao from the Southern Kingdom, and behind them was Su Yiyun, who'd already threatened them.
"Dammit! Do you really think we beasts are easy to bully? If you have the guts, kill us all! "
To their surprise, Su Yiyun's lightning-fast methods were met with the beasts' frenzied counterattacks. More and more beasts threw down their weapons and retreated to the banks of the River Styx, ignoring the defensive line. Up in the sky, Su Yiyun saw this and couldn't back down.
Did he have to kill them all?
Putting aside the fact that he didn't have the power to kill all of them at once, even if he did, what would happen to the defensive line in front of the River Styx?
As he watched the beasts retreat from the defensive line, Su Yiyun's eyes were bloodshot. He felt powerless.
