How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 451 - 0446: The Battle Begins

The tribal leaders each had a darkened countenance, their faces clouded with gloom.

Originally, they had seized the initiative and the advantage, and even without this wager, their battle strength far surpassed Chu Country, with a great chance of victory.

But the Mantu Clan Chief, eyeing Chen Yu’s Fire Qilin, thought that if he could get his hands on the Fire Qilin, then the war could end with a smaller sacrifice.

However, the fact exceeded everyone’s expectations; the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak Red-eyed Jiao actually lost to the Fire Qilin.

This loss sent their morale, which they had hardly rallied to its peak, tumbling back down.

"Mantu Clan Chief, you wouldn’t be thinking of reneging, would you?"

Chen Yu saw that the enemy hadn’t moved for half a day and sneered coldly.

"The Clan Leader here shall never go back on his word!"

Hearing Chen Yu’s words, the Mantu Clan Chief’s eyes sharpened and he immediately spoke.

As the Clan Leader of the Mantu Tribe, and with people from three tribes watching on, if he didn’t keep his word, how could he inspire trust in others, how could he lead the tribes.

Moreover, Elder Mao at the Peak of Qi Transformation had little impact on the battle’s outcome; whether he lived or died was not important.

The Mantu Clan Chief only felt it was a pity that an opportunity to threaten Chen Yu had slipped away.

"Release him."

The Mantu Clan Leader barked lowly.

Instantly, the cage opened and the chains wrapped around Elder Mao quickly loosened.

Elder Mao looked excited, glancing warily at the nearby enemies before finally flying towards Chu Country’s side.

"Chen Yu, I have released the man as promised."

The Mantu Clan Chief smiled faintly.

"Not good."

Chen Yu felt a sense of foreboding.

"The person, our Mantu Tribe has released him, but if our Mantu Tribe could capture him once, we can do it a second time."

At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in beast skin beside the Mantu Clan Chief shouted lowly and suddenly rushed out.

His words didn’t sound wrong, and technically, this wasn’t reneging, but such actions were loathsome, so the Mantu Clan Chief didn’t take action personally, instead allowing other Guiyuan Realm experts of the tribe to make a move.

"You…"

Elder Mao was immensely irritated, but sensing an intense crisis, he didn’t have time to say more and could only flee with all his might.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

The beast skin man’s mouth curled into a light smile.

The gap between the Qi Transformation Realm and Guiyuan Realm was too great; if he decided to capture Elder Mao, there was no way Elder Mao could escape.

Swoosh!

But suddenly, a faint blue light shot out from underground, aimed straight at the beast skin man.

"What is this?"

The beast skin man reacted in an instant when the blue light appeared, channeling True Yuan, with a layer of gray True Yuan light shield emerging around him.

However, when the faint blue light hit the True Yuan shield, it penetrated right through.

"Not good."

At this point, the beast skin man realized the danger; he promptly threw a punch, and a condensed blast of True Yuan light was hurled out.

Boom!

His punch was mighty, generating an explosion and forcing back the blue light.

This faint blue light was, in fact, Chen Yu’s Iron Moon Strange Insect, which had long broken through to the Guiyuan Realm level while Chen Yu was immersed in cultivation.

Earlier, worried about any unforeseen incidents, Chen Yu had already ordered the Iron Moon Strange Insect to burrow underground and slowly approach the enemy.

Now it had played its role effectively!

Delayed for a moment by the beast skin man, Elder Mao gained some distance.

At this time, the Red Flame King in midair quickly caught up, his position originally between the two armies and his speed incredibly fast.

"Little brat, this is the spoils of victory for this king; you dare to snatch what belongs to this king, you must be tired of living."

The Red Flame King bellowed angrily and spat out a scorching fireball.

Immediately, the beast skin man scrambled away in terror, hastily fleeing.

"Dammit!"

The Mantu Clan Chief cursed softly, then immediately issued the command: "Kill!"

Whoosh!

He was the first to charge out, waving his sleeve, a swarm of dark red insects flew out, diving towards the fireball.

At the moment of contact, an explosion swept across, but only a very small part of the dark red insects perished.

These were his cultivated poison fire bugs, which fed on fire and had exceptionally strong resistance to it.

"I’m saved."

The beast skin man sighed with relief, looking gratefully towards the Mantu Clan Chief.

On the other hand, the people of Chu Country had already charged out when the Mantu Tribe suddenly made their move.

"I’m saved."

Elder Mao instantly relaxed.

"Master, are you alright?"

Chen Yu approached Elder Mao.

"To be alive is enough; there’s no serious harm."

Elder Mao appeared very open-minded.

"This old cur, dares to play such a trick."

Chen Yu’s expression turned stern, and he surged forward.

Just now, if the Mantu Tribe had captured Elder Mao again, they would definitely have imposed new demands to threaten Chen Yu.

Moreover, this method of capturing people to threaten Chen Yu by the Mantu Tribe also made Chen Yu extremely angry.

They could not be easily pardoned!

"Red-eyed Jiao, you and the Ancient Giant Elephant together, keep the Fire Qilin busy."

The Mantu Clan Chief commanded.

Just before when the Red-eyed Jiao was defeated, the clan’s experts had quickly fed it some extremely precious recovery elixirs.

With the Holy Beast Physique of the Red-eyed Jiao, its recovery was extremely strong, and by now it had almost completely healed.

"Good!"

Red-eyed Jiao accepted promptly.

Having been defeated by the Fire Qilin, it felt an immense humiliation, but as long as it wasn’t dead, there was a chance to wash away this disgrace.

Ao!

The Ancient Giant Elephant roared and charged forth.

The body of the Red-eyed Jiao soared into the sky, lifting a layer of fiery red clouds, and attacked the Fire Qilin.

This time, it was exceedingly cautious; even if the Fire Qilin’s strength was greater than its own, it would not be defeated as easily as before, especially with the help of the Ancient Giant Elephant.

The cultivation level of this elephant was the same as that of the Red-eyed Jiao, a species of ancient beasts, and its combat power was also very formidable.

"This king will indulge you in this game."

The Red Flame King was utterly unbothered, his mouth billowing with raging fire that surged forth.

On the other side, Chen Yu charged towards the man in the beast hide.

"Chen Yu..."

The man in beast hide trembled slightly and continued to flee.

Although both were at the Early Guiyuan Realm, Chen Yu had defeated Meng Chixiong and possessed extraordinary strength; alone, how could he dare to combat Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu, for killing my grandson, today I shall take your life."

The Mantu Clan Chief had been eyeing Chen Yu all along, and now he pounced to kill.

"Man Clan Chief, your opponent is me!"

The hoarse voice of the Absolute Yin Ancestor reached them; he was seated upon the Yin Stone Coffin and speeding towards the clash.

The face of the Mantu Clan Chief immediately darkened; this Absolute Yin Ancestor was Chu Country’s number one, and that Yin Stone Coffin was also a Spiritual Artifact, both possessing extraordinary power.

Instantly, he slapped his pet bag and released a blue ancient beast; its entire body a dark blue, its wings as hard as iron, and three peculiar eagle heads with six pairs of malevolent eyes stared at the Absolute Yin Ancestor.

The Three-headed Blue Steel Eagle, the spirit pet of the Mantu Clan Chief, boasted absolute, powerful combat abilities.

A grave look appeared on the face of the Absolute Yin Ancestor as a mass of black vaporous bones began spinning around him, releasing an aura of malevolent yin energy that surged towards the heavens.

The Snow Mountain Nine Tribes were each incredibly powerful; a mid-tier tribe’s collective strength could rival that of the Bone Demon Palace, all the more so for the Mantu Tribe which ranked in the top three.

The Mantu Clan Chief himself was at the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm, and within his clan, there were powerful Holy Beasts. He also had a peak Early Guiyuan Realm mount, as well as a Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm combat spirit pet.

Furthermore, the Mantu Clan Chief was an Insect Cultivator, and who knows what other formidable insects he had in his possession.

Precisely because of this, even though the Mantu Clan Chief was at Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm, he could sit on equal terms with those at the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm from the Iron Refining Tribe and War Alliance Tribe.

Yet, as the Chu Country Alliance Master, the Absolute Yin Ancestor could not shrink back.

Boom bang!

The two supreme powers clashed instantly, a terrifying storm of destruction sweeping in all directions.

"This Mantu Tribe is indeed not to be underestimated."

After emerging from his seclusion, Chen Yu had improved in strength and hadn’t taken the Mantu Clan Chief seriously.

But now in battle, the Mantu Clan Chief showed terrifying strength, directly pressing the Absolute Yin Ancestor down.

"Save me!"

The man in beast hide ahead cried out urgently.

"Chen Yu, meet your death!"

At that moment, two Guiyuan Realm powerhouses rushed over.

One of them was an emaciated elder, standing atop a white flying fish, exuding the aura of the Peak of Early Guiyuan Realm.

The other was a tender young woman in blue clothes. This woman, the Bi Hai Clan Chief, was also at the Peak of Early Guiyuan Realm.

Suddenly, the man in beast hide ahead stopped running.

The emaciated elder was a powerhouse from the Mantu Tribe, and that white flying fish, called "White Moon Flying Fish," was an ancient beast capable of roaming the deep sea and darting through the clouds, with special abilities.

And as the chief of the Bi Hai Tribe, the Bi Hai Clan Chief’s strength was even greater than that of the emaciated elder.

With two powerful figures taking action and adding him to the mix, could they still fear Chen Yu?

"The disparities in strength between Chu Country and the tribes are no small matter."

Chen Yu assessed the situation.

The enemy tribes had a total of eleven Guiyuan Realm powerhouses, while Chu Country’s side, even with the addition of support from Qi Country and Yan Country, had only eight.

Among these, someone from Gongyang Mountain was injured.

Of course, these calculations did not take into account the presence of spirit pets and mounts.

At this moment, Chen Yu faced three Guiyuan Realm opponents alone, yet the situation was still bearable.

But clearly, not for much longer.

"Meet your death."

The Bi Hai Clan Chief drew a light blue soft sword, swinging it repeatedly to create a whirlpool of blue water waves that exerted a strong suction, seemingly intending to crush Chen Yu.

On the other side, the White Moon Flying Fish swam swiftly through the air, resembling a white phantom.

Shoo!

Suddenly, a white moon blade dragging a streak of white luminescence flew towards him.

"Demon Scale Armor!"

Chen Yu’s third demon pattern stirred into action, forming a domineering and ferocious armor covering his whole body.

Drawing the Giant Ruler Sword, demon patterned True Yuan infused within it, he instantly cleaved out a black crescent moon that collided with the white moon blade.

After such a long seclusion, Chen Yu had significantly improved in the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record"; the fourth layer was near Great Success, and at this moment, his Demon Pattern True Yuan was probably even stronger than an average Peak Early Guiyuan Realm practitioner.

Boom bang!

A blast of black and white light exploded, and instantly, the black demon light devoured the white light, blasting towards the distance.

At the same time, Chen Yu remained within a dark blue water vortex; a stream of sharp and swift water brutally struck against his Demon Scale Armor, gradually wearing it down.

"Break!"

Chen Yu shouted loudly, his Giant Ruler Sword swept out in the exact opposite direction of the water whirlpool.

Boom boom boom!

Following Chen Yu’s strike, the colossal water whirlpool gradually crumbled.

Chen Yu stood his ground, his armor broken and battered, wielding a pitch-black gigantic sword, surrounded by swirling black fog that rendered him eerily domineering.

"Faced with the assault of two strong opponents, he remains unharmed."

Off to the side, the man in beast hide who had yet to act, shuddered, his concerns and fears unexpectedly rising.
