Turmoil 4

"Kid, how much do you have!" Wang Zanghai asked via telepathy, while simultaneously unleashing his full power to slash out with his blade, pulling Zhang Tao along as he charged outward.

"About a hundred kilograms, I guess!" Zhang Tao replied via telepathy.

Wang Zanghai was so infuriated he nearly choked on his own breath, cursing Zhang Tao a thousand times over in his heart. You have such good stuff, and so much of it, and you didn't say anything earlier, you bastard?

In this great battle, they had only received about ten grams each at the Culture Academy—yes, just ten grams per person, which was pitifully stingy.

It turned out this guy Zhang Tao had over a hundred kilograms stashed away without a word. They had known before that Zhang Tao had scavenged a Rank 9 plant monster that contained Life Essence, but that had all been turned over to the Culture Academy. The Life Essence they had been using was all provided by Zhang Tao, but they never imagined this guy actually had another hundred kilograms or so. Did he scavenge another Rank 9 plant monster? Did he have to be this heaven-defying?

"Old Wu! I'm coming!" At this moment, Wang Zanghai couldn't care about anything else. He rushed in front of an old Grandmaster and helped him shatter the incoming attacks. Zhang Tao quickly reached out, took about five kilograms of Life Essence from his ring, and slapped it into the old Grandmaster's body.

The old Grandmaster was stunned, then horrified, and immediately used his Mental Power to seal the Life Essence within his body. His previously fractured Golden Body gradually regained its luster.

"This..." The old Grandmaster looked at Zhang Tao, at a loss for words. This Life Essence was simply too much; giving him this much was a waste.

"Old Wu, hold on for now!" Seeing that Zhang Tao was finished, Wang Zanghai shouted immediately. Zhang Tao followed behind Wang Zanghai and began weaving through the Rank 8 battlefield.

With the Life Essence provided by Zhang Tao, the human Rank 8s were like they had been injected with adrenaline. For a time, even though they were outnumbered, they did not fall into a disadvantage.

Coupled with Zhang Tao, this human-shaped cheating machine, the tide quickly turned as the enemy weakened and they grew stronger.

As for the Rank 9s, facing fifteen Rank 9 experts, Li Xianling and the others charged in without a word. These fifteen Rank 9 experts had a clear division of labor, working in groups of five; as long as they could kill one human Rank 9, the human side would collapse.

The plan was sound, and if Li Xianling didn't have the God-Slaying Blade, the Forbidden Zone would surely win this battle.

Unfortunately, Li Xianling had the God-Slaying Blade, which also provided a twenty percent boost. This was a twenty percent boost to his Origin Dao! For a moment, Li Xianling felt as if he had divine assistance, and combined with the sharpness of the God-Slaying Blade, it could be said that Li Xianling had never fought such a satisfying battle!

Under the enhancement of the God-Slaying Blade, he felt that his Origin Dao seemed to have room for improvement, and vaguely, he seemed to know how to proceed.

This made Li Xianling even more formidable. Every move carried immense terror, and the five Rank 9s fighting him were wary of damaging their own interests, finding themselves suppressed by Li Xianling. Soon, one Rank 9 made a mistake and had his head sliced off by Li Xianling's blade.

With this, the disadvantage became even more apparent, and Li Xianling grew even more valiant, every strike aiming for vital points.

Li Wujie had also been watching closely. He still had the Mental Power Avatar given by the Heaven Suppressing King in his embrace; if things became impossible, he would have to use his final trump card.

But seeing Li Xianling so fierce, Li Wujie felt relieved. Perhaps the ancestor's Mental Power Avatar wouldn't be needed after all.

"Haha, today, this old man's Origin Dao shall advance once more!" Li Xianling suddenly let out a long roar. As he fought, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Originally, Li Xianling's Origin Dao had only progressed about six or seven hundred meters, which already made him a powerhouse among Rank 9s.

But with the sensations and enhancements brought by the God-Slaying Blade, Li Xianling felt a stirring in his heart and finally took another big step forward by over a hundred meters.

It could be said that if Li Xianling cultivated properly, there was a possibility of advancing further. As for whether he could reach the Apex, that would depend on his own destiny.

With the growth of Li Xianling's strength and the enhancement of the God-Slaying Blade, he was like a tiger released from a cage, instantly slaying two more Rank 9s before him. His moves were wide and powerful, managing to block all the incoming Rank 9s.

"Old Li, not bad." At this moment, an old man clutching his chest flew over. It was the same old man who had stood on the wall with Guo Weicheng, and the Rank 9s who had come to besiege Li Xianling had run over from his side. He was also helpless; after all, his strength was the lowest here, and he couldn't stop five Rank 9s.

"Feng Moqian, you piece of trash, you have the nerve to talk!" Li Xianling laughed loudly. Today was satisfying; his long-stagnant Origin Dao had actually taken a step forward, how could he not be happy?

Feng Moqian curled his lips. Old thing, just because you have a divine weapon and made progress, you're getting cocky?

"Lend me your blade!" Feng Moqian said immediately.

Li Xianling didn't even look at him. Are you farting? This thing, can I just lend it to you?

Moreover, he still needed it to kill the enemy.

Thus, Li Xianling charged out, taking on seven by himself, chasing the seven Rank 9s around.

For a time, wherever Li Xianling went, the Rank 9s retreated, greatly relieving the pressure on Guo Weicheng and the others.

Li Xianling also had time to glance at the Rank 8 battlefield. Seeing that Zhang Tao and the others had actually held on, and that there was even a possibility of turning the tables, Li Xianling was greatly shocked. However, after seeing the Rank 7 battlefield, Li Xianling's face darkened. Many Rank 7s had already self-detonated, all using self-detonation to drag down their opponents.

Li Xianling knew he had to end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise, the Rank 7 side would definitely collapse. Li Xianling roared and once again gave it his all.

For a moment, the Rank 9 battlefield descended into chaos again, and Li Xianling said, "Everyone, gather toward me! Today, we will slaughter all these beasts from the Forbidden Zone!"

Indeed, those who came this time were all Rank 9s from the Forbidden Zone; no Outer Region city lords had participated. Perhaps they hadn't reached an agreement with King Huai, or they had simply had a falling out. In any case, the Rank 9 city lords of the Forbidden City Catacombs were all holed up in their own cities.

Of course, they were also watching the Rank 9 battlefield. Seeing that Li Xianling and his five men could force the fifteen experts of the Forbidden Zone into retreat, they were also horrified.

"Outer Region city lords, come assist us quickly!" Some Rank 9s could no longer hold on and shouted immediately. As long as the Outer Region city lords arrived, Li Xianling and the others would be nothing to fear.

Unfortunately, these Outer Region city lords acted as if they hadn't heard. Li Xianling was overjoyed; he hadn't expected the Outer Region and the Forbidden Zone to have had a falling out. Otherwise, at least some city lords from the Outer Region would have attacked.

"Outer Region city lords, join the battle!" King Huai's voice came faintly. In an instant, the auras of the Outer Region city lords were released, and those nearby were already rushing over.

Li Xianling's expression changed drastically. He never expected King Huai to give the order at this moment.
