Blood Peak Continent Shaken
"This Magic Array looks extraordinary. I think we should attack together," the Red-Robed Beauty suggested.
The Blue-Haired Youth and the Four-Armed Giant both nodded.
The Blue-Haired Youth hair was enveloped in bolts of electricity, which converged into a long lightning blade.
With a loud shout, the Blue-Haired Youth slashed down with his lightning-infused longsword at the "Boulder Guard".
The Red-Robed Beauty then took out a long whip covered with sharp barbs.
"Smack!"
The Red-Robed Beauty swung her long whip, producing a crisp sound, and a huge black whip shadow lashed the surface of the "Boulder Guard".
The Four-Armed Giant also made his move, radiating a dazzling white light that condensed into a beam and shot towards the "Boulder Guard".
The attacks of the three powerful figures landed simultaneously on the "Boulder Guard," causing the semi-transparent shield to fluctuate violently. Ripples appeared on its surface, and it even began to shake, appearing on the verge of collapse.
"Don't worry, back then when the Four Great Families leaders attacked together, 'Boulder Guard' was able to withstand it. Each of these three is just as strong as one of the clan leaders back then," Lulutia said to Andres.
She was in Iron Saber Gorge when the Four Great Families besieged it, so she was very clear about the situation and the strength of the Four Great Families' leaders.
Andres nodded. He could also tell that the strength of these three powerful figures was similar to that of the patriarchs of the Four Great Families; they were all Five-star Demon.
The defensive limit of "Boulder Guard" is the attack power of Five-star Demon.
After a brief tremor, the "Boulder Guard" gradually stabilized.
Upon seeing this, the three powerful figures in the air no longer showed any contempt.
"Gentlemen, are you still planning to watch the show?" the cold-looking young man with blue hair asked in a low voice.
"Haha! Sibel, don't rush."
"Iron Saber Gorge is indeed quite formidable; no wonder those four from Somuo City perished here."
"Hmph, so what? If we join forces, are we afraid we can't take them down?"
One figure after another flew out from the crowd, hovering alongside the three cold-faced young men with blue hair.
Andres glanced around and found there were thirteen of them.
"Judging from their attitudes, these people are probably no less capable than the first three," Andres, his brow furrowing slightly.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
These three cities are no weaker than Somuo City. The original Somuo City had four clan leaders and four Five-star Demons. Now, these three cities together have more than a dozen Five-star Demon.
"Alright, let's all work together and break this turtle shell!" said the Four-Armed Giant.
Soon, various colored streaks of light appeared in the sky, and divine powers of various elements condensed into sword energy, magical beasts, and other forms, bombarding down towards the "Boulder Guard".
In Iron Saber Gorge, everyone looked up, their vision almost completely filled by the combined attack of thirteen Five-star Demon.
Faced with this situation, Lulutia also lost confidence in "Boulder Guard".
"Boom"!
With a loud bang, the "Boulder Guard" shattered, turning into countless fragments of white light that dissipated into the world.
Andres let out a soft sigh.
While "Boulder Guard" can block the attacks of Five-star Demon, there is a limit. It can block one Five-star Demon, and it can block two, but it is really impossible to block more than a dozen.
"You all step back."
Andres said something to the people in Iron Saber Gorge, then flipped his hand to take out Purple Longsword and flew into the sky.
Given the current situation, he has no choice but to intervene, even if he doesn't want to.
"You dare to charge over here all by yourself? How arrogant!" The Four-Armed Giant sneered, opening his four arms and shooting four white beams of light towards Andres.
Andres casually swung his sword, unleashing dozens of crescent-shaped purple Wind Blade.
Wind Elemental Law - Dimension Slash.
"Hiss hiss"
The Wind Blade trembled slightly, emitting a faint, sharp sound. Many ordinary Highgod in the three cities were momentarily stunned upon hearing this sound.
The current Dimension Slash incorporates two profound Profound Mystery: "Sound Wave" and "Musical Sound," and possesses the Soul Attack. Andres's Soul Attack may not be very effective against strong individuals of the same level, but it is a deadly weapon against these ordinary Highgod.
"Watch out!" The cold-faced young man with blue hair shouted, his expression changing drastically.
The Soul Attack from the Dimension Slash had little effect on the Five-star Demon, and the thirteen Five-star Demon powerhouses unleashed their strongest attacks.
Andres didn't intend to end the battle with Soul Attack; his real killer move was a physical attack.
Dozens of Dimension Slash cut through space, creating spatial rifts, instantly piercing through the attacks of thirteen Five-star Demon and slicing through their heads.
"Bang!"
Thirteen heads exploded simultaneously, and the Godhead floated out.
Thirteen Five-star Demon were killed by Andres with a single sword strike.
His Fire God Clone can also use Wind Elemental Law and Fused Divine Power, making it comparable in strength to an ordinary Seven-star Demon. Dealing with some Five-star Demon would certainly not be a problem.
"Run! Run!"
The thirteen Five-star Demon's subordinates were already terrified and scattered in all directions in a panic.
Andres didn't care about these small fry. After taking the Space Ring of the thirteen Five-star Demon, he returned to Iron Saber Gorge.
In Iron Saber Gorge, countless eyes were fixed on Andres, their emotions a complex mix of admiration, worship, longing, and fear.
Andres's displayed strength repeatedly challenged their understanding of the world.
Last time, Andres easily killed the four clan leaders, which already surprised them greatly. This time, he killed more than a dozen powerful people comparable to the four clan leaders with a single sword strike.
Only Claude was not surprised at all. He already knew that Andres had killed Montra, and he would have found it strange if Andres couldn't handle more than a dozen Five-star Demon.
"Go back to your work, don't let your guard down. The enemy is far more than just what we have today," Andres said sternly to the group.
"Yes."
The numerous God-level expert within Iron Saber Gorge dispersed.
Only a few people, such as Lulutia, Cilia, and Yasen, remained.
"Master, with your strength, what do we have to worry about?" Leighton said with a grin.
"That's right. As long as it's not a powerhouse like the Master of Lake Punis, there's nothing to worry about," Claude said.
"The Master of Lake Punis?" Lulutia and the others looked at Claude with puzzled expressions. They had never heard of the Master of Lake Punis.
Claude gave a brief introduction, mentioning that he had once served under Montra and knew of Montra's defeat at the Master of Lake Punis. He also recounted how Andres had killed Montra.
When everyone heard about the power of the Master of Lake Punis, they were initially worried, but their hearts were at ease when they heard that Andres had killed Montra.
"The Master of Lake Punis only defeated Montra, while the master was able to kill Montra. It seems that the master is stronger!" Leighton said casually.
Andres's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "The battle Master of Lake Punis and Montra took place more than 10,000 years ago. No one knows whether the Master of Lake Punis has improved in strength over the years. Moreover, there are many factors involved in my ability to kill Montra. If it were just my God Clone here, I wouldn't be able to defeat Montra, let alone the Master of Lake Punis."
Montra possesses the strength of a top-tier Seven-star Demon, while Andres's Fire God Clone cannot unleash its Innate Divine Ability; it is merely an ordinary Seven-star Demon and cannot defeat Montra.
Hearing Andres's words, everyone's hearts tightened again.
Seeing their expressions, Andres didn't want them to worry too much, so he comforted them, saying, "My true self is on his way back to Iron Saber Gorge, and the Master of Lake Punis may not even come to Iron Saber Gorge."
"Yes, everyone doesn't need to be too pessimistic," Cilia added.
"But there will definitely be other powerful individuals vying for the Teleportation Array in the future, so we need to prepare early," Yasen said solemnly.
Everyone agreed, and after discussing some countermeasures, they dispersed.
More than twenty years have passed since then.
During this time, the news spread further and further, and powerful figures came to the vicinity of Iron Saber Gorge one after another. However, when they heard that Andres had killed thirteen powerful figures with a single sword strike, they dared not attack. But they were also unwilling to leave, so they set up camp around Iron Saber Gorge.
Although Andres knew this, he didn't want to cause any more trouble before the main body returned, just to be on the safe side.
Moreover, the number of Highgod have successfully Refine Divine Spark in Iron Saber Gorge is increasing, and the number of Death God Puppet is also growing. The longer the period of peace lasts, the more advantageous it will be for them.
More than thirty years have passed since Andres's main body, Wind Element God Clone, and Water God Clone left the Skyrite Mountains, and they are about to return.
Skyrite Mountains.
After Montra's death, the Four Divine Beasts expanded rapidly, and within just over thirty years, they occupied half of the western region of the Blood Peak Continent.
On this day, Riding and his companions finally received news that Teleportation Array had appeared in Iron Saber Gorge.
Inside the castle hall, Riding three companions gathered to discuss matters.
"Brother, what do you think of that Teleportation Array in Iron Saber Gorge? Is it a rumor or is it real?" Nimo asked, frowning.
"According to the information we received, many powerful figures in the eastern and central parts of the Blood Peak Continent have been alarmed, and it is probably true."
"Hmm? So many powerful figures have gone? What are we waiting for?" Bowen's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that so many powerful figures had gathered together.
Riding glanced at Bowen with a grave expression. "Fourth Brother, do you know that the Master of Lake Punis has also gone?"
The expressions of the other three all changed.
"Since the Master of Lake Punis has gone, I guess no one else has a chance." Bowen pursed his lips, looking somewhat disappointed.
He knew he was no match for the Master of Lake Punis. Although he enjoyed fighting, he disliked being humiliated. He didn't want to fight a battle he knew he would lose.
"Then let's not waste any more time," Nimo said.
Lius, who had been listening quietly, suddenly remembered something and said, "Isn't Iron Saber Gorge Andres's home? He once said that his power was near Iron Saber Gorge."
Upon hearing this, Bowen and Nimo's eyes widened, while only Riding remained expressionless, clearly having anticipated this.
Riding said, "This is also something I wanted to discuss with you. If that Teleportation Array is really related to Andres, what are your thoughts?"
At this time, the only news that had reached the Skyrite Mountains was the appearance of Teleportation Array in Iron Saber Gorge. The news that Andres had killed the heads of the Four Great Families of Somuo City had not yet reached them.
Therefore, Riding was also unsure about the relationship between Andres and the Teleportation Array.
"Hmph! I bet the Teleportation Array is related to him. That explains why he was in such a hurry to leave. He obviously knew the Teleportation Array had been exposed and needed to go back to deal with it," Nimo said coldly.
"Second Sister is right, but since the Master of Lake Punis has already gone, it's no use for Andres to rush back," Bowen said.
Lius glanced at Riding and the other two, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke hesitantly, "Um, Andres told us about the Profound Mystery fusion, and even killed Montra and saved us. Should we go and help him?"
"Help with what?" Nimo refused outright. "He didn't tell us about the Teleportation Array either. He's obviously wary of us. In that case, let him fend for himself."
Bowen frowned, looking somewhat conflicted. He looked at Riding and asked, "Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Riding seemed to have already thought it through, and calmly said, "If Andres is willing to submit to us, then we will naturally help him. But right now, our relationship with him is not that close. In this situation, we need to consider it carefully. If it is not too difficult, then we will help him. But now his opponent is likely to be the Master of Lake Punis. I don't think we need to risk ourselves."
"I agree with what you said, brother," Nimo immediately chimed in.
Bowen remained silent.
Lius seemed somewhat at a loss, glancing between Riding, Nimo, and Bowen.
Riding's expression gradually became serious. "Second sister, third brother, Fourth Brother, I know that Andres has been kind to us, but you must always remember that our Four Divine Beasts Family is the most important. All our actions must be based on this standard. Anyone who may threaten us, even if they are our benefactors, must be abandoned when necessary."
Upon hearing Bowen's expression gradually hardened. "I understand, elder brother."
Lius straightened his back and said seriously, "Big brother, I don't understand anything else, but I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"
Nimo smiled and glanced at Lius: "Don't worry, third brother, we won't harm you."
Riding smiled, looked at his younger siblings, and suddenly changed the subject. "Although I don't think we need to help Andres, I think we should still go to Iron Saber Gorge."
Nimo, Bowen, and Lius were all taken aback.
Riding continued, "That Teleportation Array is extraordinary, and it's an opportunity for us too. If Andres clashes with the Master of Lake Punis, perhaps we can reap the benefits."
Nimo's eyes lit up. "Big brother, great idea!"
Bowen was also excited. "Big brother, I'll go! How can I miss out on a fight like this?"
Riding shook his head. "Fourth Brother, whether it's Andres or the Master of Lake Punis, it won't be easy for you to deal with them one-on-one. This time, I'll go with my third brother."
"Me?" Lius pointed to himself, somewhat surprised.
Normally, when the Four Divine Beasts are separated, they always go in pairs. For example, when Bowen went east to challenge others, Riding and Bowen went together, while Nimo and Lius stayed behind to guard the Skyrite Mountains.
In the past, when Riding went out, he almost never took Lius with him.
"Yes, Third Brother, you will come with me this time. I used to keep you in the Skyrite Mountains because I didn't want to expose your Innate Divine Ability, but this time the situation is different, and we may need your Innate Divine Ability," Riding said.
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother." Lius nodded.
"Then it's settled. Second sister, Fourth Brother, you two will stay and guard the Skyrite Mountains. We've been expanding rapidly and there's a lot going on, so we need you to take care of things."
"Don't worry, big brother," Nimo laughed.
"Brother, please be careful," Bowen said. Although he himself really wanted to go, he no longer objected once Riding had made the decision.
"Um."
Riding nodded, and then together with Lius, they rode the Metal Life away from the Skyrite Mountains.
