Compared to the battle on Jiang Jie's side, the battle between Illidan and Old Chen was much simpler and more direct, but also much more difficult.
Jiang Jie was only facing a Dreadlord who could barely be considered Legendary Dreadlord, an Orcs Warlock, a King of the Jadefire Satyr, plus thousands of demons, Satyr, and minor Warlock.
But Illidan and Old Chen were facing Tichondrius, Demigod soul level and a High-tier Legendary energy level, as well as numerous Dread Demon and hundreds or thousands of other demons!
Are the number of demons roughly the same?
But the quality is vastly different!
Simply put, of the thousands of demons that Illidan and Old Chen faced, only 60% were low-ranking demons;
Of the thousands of demons Jiang Jie faced, low-level demons made up more than 90%!
More importantly, Illidan and Old Chen are just two people, while on Jiang Jie's side, Velinde has summoned hundreds or even thousands of Worgen!
Demon Hunter are incredibly powerful in group battles, especially with Blade Dance and Eye Beam. Every time Illidan uses these two powerful skills, they unleash a bloodbath among the demons around him.
Old Chen wielded his bamboo staff with impenetrable skill, keeping no demon at bay. Sometimes he'd even take a sip of wine before unleashing his fury, shoving the staff into the ground, abandoning his weapon, and unleashing a drunken fist routine. Punches flew here and there, incredibly powerful. Occasionally, he'd spit out a mouthful of wine, combining it with his manipulated fire energy to create a firestorm that engulfed a large group of demons—an effect somewhat similar to Dragon's Breath?
However, this did not change the course of the war.
After Tichondrius personally joined the battle, facing the swarming Dread Demon and elite Felguard, Illidan and Old Chen had no choice but to change their tactics, switching from direct confrontation to guerrilla warfare and defensive maneuvers!
Even in a head-on battle, Illidan might not be a match for Tichondrius, let alone the fact that Tichondrius can fly!
Yes, Tichondrius can fly, but Demon Hunter can't; they can only glide at most.
Illidan is an exception, of course, but he's not good enough for now.
On the battlefield, whoever controls the air is Invincible.
Illidan and Old Chen are both qualified to fight Tichondrius head-on, but neither of them can fly, so they are destined to be passively attacked on the ground.
Even worse, all the Dread Demon can fly...
Thus, under the siege of hundreds of Dread Demon, Illidan and Old Chen were essentially powerless to resist, trapped in a confined space, fighting back with all their might.
Of course, both of them were incredibly powerful, managing to withstand the onslaught of so many demons. Jiang Jie even suspected that if they passively defended themselves while taking the opportunity to eliminate any approaching demons, these two Legendary powerhouses might actually be able to hold out until all the thousands of demons were wiped out.
Illidan was already a demon, so his stamina was incredible.
Old Chen is a wine connoisseur with extremely strong defensive capabilities. As long as he has wine, he's full of energy and can easily last for several hours like in martial arts novels. Of course, three days and three nights is too far-fetched and completely impossible.
Fight on, blood and sweat!
This world idolizes heroes, but even the most powerful heroes have their limits.
The powerful boar Demigod Agamaggan was killed by an endless stream of demons, and the terrifying Mannoroth was also surrounded and killed by Jiang Jie and his companions.
Illidan was indeed powerful, but he could hardly resist a few hundred elite demons, let alone Tichondrius, who was no less powerful than him.
Fortunately, the Warglaives of Azzinoth in his hand possessed the same qualities as the divine sword Strom'kar.
Each time Illidan wields his moonblade, he gains new souls, which he quickly absorbs to replenish his rapidly depleting power.
Illidan has not yet established the " Illidari Council " and does not have his own Demon Hunter force; he is all alone.
Old Chen was not Taran Zhu, and he did not have hundreds or thousands of Shado-Pan Monk following him.
Two Legendary, back to back, fought a difficult battle.
Just then, Illidan suddenly sensed something, looked up,
They "saw" the Zhaoren the Onyx Cloud Serpent coming from afar, and also "saw" Jiang Jie on the dragon's back, and heard Jiang Jie's voice. " Illidan!"
Jiang Jie held up Skull of Gul'dan and shouted, "This skull comes from an Orc Warlock was once a mortal and became a god! It contains a portion of Gul'dan's power and all his knowledge and memories! Obtaining it will grant you unimaginable power and knowledge, transforming you into yet another mortal who has become a god. Do you... want it?!"
"Damn it!" Tichondrius sensed the energy of Skull of Gul'dan and immediately turned his gaze to Jiang Jie, his eyes filled with rage.
He specially obtained this artifact from the breached Dalaran, and now it has actually fallen into the hands of Jiang Jie, the human who once severely injured him, and that piece of trash Banehollow!
"Human, you're asking for death!"
Tichondrius flapped its wings and flew towards Jiang Jie.
At that moment, Illidan ran on the ground, rushing towards Jiang Jie at an even faster speed.
Jiang Jie's words, the energy and knowledge of Skull of Gul'dan, attracted him and made him unable to resist!
"So, you agree?" Jiang Jie unleashed a palm strike from mid-air, two dragon-shaped streams of energy blocking Tichondrius's path, while the Wind Dafeng also summoned a gale to obstruct him.
A smile played on his lips as his voice reached Illidan's ears once more, "Then give me a bottle, and you will have him! You know what I mean!"
Illidan shuddered!
Of course he knew what Jiang Jie was referring to!
Vial of Eternity!
That was a water bottle he made with special materials, possessing unique magic. Only such a water bottle could contain the essence of the Well of Eternity.
Before the explosion of the Well of Eternity, he filled seven vials with the essence of the Well of Eternity. He later used three of these vials to create a second Well of Eternity. As a result, he was considered to have betrayed the Night Elf and was imprisoned in an underground lair for ten thousand years.
At that time, the other four bottles of water were confiscated.
Before Dath'Remar Sunstrider left with the High Elf, he stole a bottle of water and later created the Sunwell, something he already knew.
Maiev, that cold, Dominate woman, would tell him about the outside world every time she saw him, seemingly trying to provoke him and make him realize his pathetic and lonely state of being forgotten by the world.
That's why, even though he never saw the light of day, he still had a deep understanding of the world.
This also includes the establishment of the Sunwell.
No one knew that he had left a magical mark on the Vial of Eternity.
After escaping a few days ago, he immediately followed the magical markings and found the remaining three Vial of Eternity, which were perfectly preserved and were now on his person.
How did this young human know that?
Illidan didn't know.
However, he knew that although these three bottles of well water were incredibly precious, in terms of energy level alone, they were not higher than the Skull of Gul'dan. It was just that the essence of the Well of Eternity was special, like the king of all energies in Azeroth, capable of rapidly gathering the Ley Line energy that flowed throughout the entire planet, with endless uses.
But for him, the Skull of Gul'dan was more important!
Since he was already a demon, the demonic energy within Skull of Gul'dan was more suitable for him than the Waters of the Well of Eternity. Furthermore, all of Gul'dan's memories and knowledge within, especially his knowledge of the Tomb of Sargeras and Outland, were extremely important to him!
We must never give up!
Illidan didn't think Jiang Jie was taking advantage of the situation. After all, Jiang Jie had contributed to obtaining Skull of Gul'dan. Moreover, Skull of Gul'dan was very valuable, probably worth two bottles of the Waters of the Well of Eternity. Jiang Jie only asked for one bottle, which was fair to him!
I promise you!
The Demon Hunter leaped up, using the branches for leverage, and in an instant reached the top of the forest. He then used the leverage again to climb another dozen meters, using his body to block Tichondrius, who had finally arrived.
Tichondrius's sharp claws left deep, bone-revealing scratches on Illidan's body, tearing his skin and flesh—a blow that could have severely injured Illidan!
But Illidan didn't care.
His Warglaives of Azzinoth also struck Tichondrius, leaving a deep wound that cut to the bone, forcing Tichondrius back. At the same time, he waved his hand, and a palm-sized crystal bottle flew through the air and landed in Jiang Jie's hand.
Jiang Jie immediately sensed the surging energy within the crystal bottle; it was indeed the Waters of the Well of Eternity. He then tossed the Skull of Gul'dan to Illidan.
"No!"
With a furious roar of defiance from Tichondrius, Illidan seized the Skull of Gul'dan!
" Nicholas, Chen, buy me some time!"
Landing back on the ground, Illidan took a deep breath and began absorbing the skull's power!
