Chapter 5210 Hot-Blooded Youths
Ziwen!
When Ye Ziwen charged out of the barrier, a middle-aged womans cry echoed from within the academy. It was his mother, one of the branch academys higher-ups. Tears streamed down her face as she watched her son rush forward. She knew that if Ye Ziwen charged out, he would never come back.
Ye Ziwen halted briefly, turning back to face his mother. With a resolute expression, he knelt down, kowtowing three times.
Mom, Im sorry. Forgive your child for being unfilial!
With those final words, he stood up and stepped beyond the barrier. His Heavenly Fate Disk appeared as he charged forward.
Seeing Ye Ziwens bold move, countless disciples from the academy felt their blood boil and followed his lead, charging out after him.
Fools, dont go! The head academys disciples shouted frantically, trying to stop them. But there was no turning back for these hot-blooded youths. Watching their peers rush out to face certain death, others clenched their teeth and joined in.
Theres no way around it. Charge! The Starry River Sects disciples also leaped into the fray.
As soon as they stepped out of the barrier, the first academys disciples were nearly crushed by the overwhelming pressure from the Human Emperors. Only the Heavenly Chosens could withstand it.
Get back here! You wont be able to help, and youll only hinder the Dragonblood Legion! shouted an expert of the Starry River Sect.
No, if were going to die, well die spilling our blood on the battlefield, not cowering like cowards! We will protect the academy ourselves! We will protect our families! a half-step Chosen from the academy yelled back, his voice filled with determination. Though the pressure from the Emperors nearly suffocated him, his eyes burned with resolve. He was ready for death.
What a bunch of hot-headed fools! The Starry River Sect expert cursed under his breath and then bellowed, Brothers of the Starry River Sect, move out! Assist the Dragonblood Legion!
The Starry River Sect experts joined the battlefield. Having fought alongside the Dragonblood Legion multiple times before, they knew what they should do. They knew they couldnt be the main force, or they would affect the Dragonblood warriors formation.
However, they couldnt let these passionate idiots without combat experience die and disturb the Dragonblood Legions rhythm. They werent hoping for these idiots to make any impact. As long as they didnt make things worse, that would be great.
Despite being less powerful than the Dragonblood warriors, the Starry River Sects disciples were skilled in combat. They filled in the gaps, dealing with any enemies that slipped through the Legions defenses. Many of these disciples had received Long Chens pointers and were familiar with the Dragonblood Legions fighting style. Using the same style, they fought fiercely and went all-out.
As the Dragonblood Legion had switched from defense to offense, more enemies were slipping through their blockade. Though their numbers were small, these stragglers could still disrupt the Dragonblood warriors rhythm, forcing them to split their focus. But with the Starry River Sects support, these threats were swiftly eliminated.
Long Chen and Yue Zifeng swept through the battlefield, specifically picking out the strongest half-step Human Emperors as they could pose a fatal threat to the Dragonblood Legion.
Careful! A disciple from the Starry River Sect cried out as he intercepted a spear aimed at Ye Ziwen, his sword barely managing to block the blow.
BOOM!
The impact sent the disciple flying, blood spraying from his mouth. Ye Ziwen took advantage of this opening to kill the six-vein Heaven Saint devil expert.
Brother, are you alright?! Ye Ziwen asked, feeling shocked and ashamed as he hastily supported the injured disciple. Only now did he realize how outmatched he was on this battlefield, where even his spiritual perception was unreliable. If it werent for this disciples help, he would have been killed.
Im fine. Hurry and assist the others, the disciple replied, wiping the blood from his mouth before continuing to fight.
With a frustrated roar, Ye Ziwen charged over to assist the academys number two junior disciple, who was fighting a ferocious beast. The latter was being pressed back badly at the moment, and if he did not receive aid, he could die at any moment.
Together, they managed to kill that beast. After that, the two of them exchanged a look. The pride they once held had been replaced by frustration and regret.
As top experts of the Heaven Rankings, they were used to being revered by their peers. But here, on this battlefield, they were nothing. The strongest experts were handled by the Dragonblood Legion, while the weaker ones that slipped through were dealt with by the Starry River Sect and the head academys experts. By their turn, only the weakest fish remained.
Perhaps those weaklings werent even fishmerely some shrimp, but Ye Ziwen and his fellow disciples had difficulties to defeat the shrimp one on one. This impact made them feel so ashamed that they had the urge to kill themselves.
Ye Ziwen patted his comrades shoulder. Its not so bad. At least were not the worst! Lets keep going!
Ye Ziwen charged out again, leaving his comrade looking at his back with a bitter feeling. Many fellow disciples of theirs were kneeling next to the barrier, crushed by the pressure of the battlefield. They couldnt even stand.
Am I not even qualified to fight to the death!? Is there anything more embarrassing than this?! one disciple muttered, pressing his hands against the barrier and clenching his teeth in frustration. However, he still couldnt stand in front of this pressure.
Suddenly, the barrier quivered. Flame runes rapidly spread on top of it, spreading throughout every corner of the barrier. Everyone looked over to see Yu Qingxuan with her hands clasped. Her black hair slowly waved as she chanted, and the worlds flame energy poured toward her.
The flame runes converged on the weakest part of the barrier, where the Purgatory qi was still causing damage. As the Purgatory qi burned away, the tear in the barrier started to heal rapidly.
Seeing this, Long Chen was delighted. Yu Qingxuan was really smart. She had found a way to repair the barrier. At this rate, it would fully heal in just a few breaths.
Buzz.
Suddenly, the space around Long Chen quivered. Eight whirlpools appeared in every direction, and eight long, slender swords emerged, radiating a chilling aura.
The Lifehunter race? Long Chens heart skipped a beat as he shouted, Qingxuan, watch out!
As he was ambushed, two translucent figures appeared beside Yu Qingxuan, their swords stabbing toward her from the front and back.
