On the floating island.
At the top of the floating island's walls, there were still five venerable-level elders standing behind Fainted Shixin.
"Master, why don't we send out our clan's powerhouses and directly attack the human race's ancient city?" a middle-aged Blood Kindred suggested.
"Master, you mustn't do that," another Blood Kindred refuted as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking.
"Hmph, why not!"
"Patriarch, that human battalion isn't as weak as they look. Now that they have the Ancient Bronze City to rely on, that Ancient Bronze City is definitely not any weaker than the Floating Island of our Xue Fainting Clan. It won't be easy to break through such a battle fortress. When the time comes, the elites of the clan will suffer great losses, and instead of being able to take down the ancient city, we will have wasted our strength for nothing!"
Hearing this, Fainted Shixin opened his eyes and asked the Blood Kindred warrior behind him, "What do you think?"
"Master, the battle fortress is a dead object, but the humans are. If we lure the human warriors out, without the protection of the Ancient Bronze City, how can they resist the Blood Kindred's heavenly might?"
"Easy for you to say. Are the humans on the other side idiots? If they come out of the Ancient Bronze City, they'll let you chop off their heads," the third elder of the Blood Kindred retorted.
"Furthermore, we don't know that the human race's combat division has a battle formation master, and it won't be easy to kill them by relying on the ancient city. I'm sure you all know how powerful the human race's battle formation is. With the battle formation, the humans have the upper hand. Now that we're on the defensive, how can we lure the humans out of the city?"
"Enough. We're facing a great enemy. This is a battle that concerns the survival of the Blood Kindred. As elders of the tribe, how can you still have the mood to fight among yourselves?"
Fainted Shixin roared in an instant. At this moment, his importance to the Gu Yuan Tribe deepened. He no longer viewed the humans as ants when he first entered the battlefield!
Rumble!
Above the Ancient Bronze City, sparks flashed and the entire void exploded.
Looking at the fireworks in the void before them, the expressions of the Blood Clan elders on the floating island did not look good either. They had expected that the Gu Yuan Tribe would discover them when they sent out their clan's martial artists. Hence, they had sent out a middle-aged and withered martial artist with the mentality of certain death.
But under the ferocious bombardment, the entire sky had turned into a sea of fire. They had also witnessed the might of the Human Race's Yuan Stone Cannons. Every single attack was equivalent to an attack from an ordinary Venerable. Even they would die on the spot from such a violent explosion.
He did not know how many of the elders who had become death warriors would survive. Even if there was only one of them, as long as they joined the Human Race's battle formation, their trip would not have been in vain. However, in the face of such a fierce bombardment, their thoughts seemed to have become extravagant hopes.
"Patriarch, it's better to let the elders and the others retreat. They won't be able to hold on for long against such a fierce flame cannon!"
Finally, they looked at the endless rumbling in the void. In the sea of flames, dark-blood-colored figures were constantly dodging, but in the next moment, they were drowned in the sea of flames.
"Order the elders to retreat!" Shixin, who had finally fainted, gnashed his teeth and said with a gloomy face. His voice was extremely cold.
The three hundred thousand Blood Spear Guardians were stalling the five hundred thousand human combat masters. The ten Venerable realm elders of the Blood Spear Guardians were planning to challenge the Gu Yuan Tribe to the ancient bronze city and stall the human Venerables. The several dozen elders of the Blood Spear Guardians were concealing themselves and dealing with the human combat formation masters.
The blood mist created by the bloody battle below was enough to hide the figures of these elders. As long as one elder took advantage of the gap and charged into the Human Race's battle formation, it would be able to deal a heavy blow to the Human Race Battle Formation Masters.
However, before the elders who were delaying the Human Race's Venerable Realm could make a move, the clan's Death Warriors were already discovered by the Human Race, and all of them died in the sea of flames. This arrangement was for naught.
Xue Fengxin's complexion was so gloomy that it looked like blood was about to drip out. However, his arrangements were interrupted by Xiao Chen. The elders of the clan who were suffering from the bombardment were the deathsworn that he had arranged. There were more than fifty of them, and he had sent them out without thinking of letting them return. They were prepared to die for sure. One could well imagine the damage they could cause.
However, that was after destroying the Human Race's battle formation. Now, before they could even reach the battle formation, they were stopped in the void and completely destroyed.
The reason why he had to pay such a price to destroy the Human Race's battle formation was different from what the elders had seen in the clan records. As the patriarch of the Xue Muxin Family, he had once entered the Hundred Clan Battlefield and fought against the Human Race. He had truly witnessed a large-scale battle.
He had naturally witnessed the power of the Human Race's battle formation with his own eyes, which had left an indelible impression on him. This was also why he had sent out martialists to kill the Gu Yuan Tribe's battle formation, even though it hadn't been activated yet.
A 10,000-man battle formation could rival a Venerable. If the Human Race's battle formation masters weren't destroyed, the Gu Yuan Tribe would have an additional 20 Venerables. Although the Xue Muxin Family had several more Venerables than the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe would have more Venerables than the Xue Muxin Family.
In the void, the Raging Flame Lava Cannon was comparable to an attack from a Venerable. The violent energy from the explosion was enough to cover a radius of thousands of meters. Apart from the four leading Venerables, the rest of the Blood Clan in the void were only below the Venerable Realm. How could they resist the attack of the Yuan Stone Cannon?
This was equivalent to hundreds of Venerables attacking them at the same time. The Blood Clan could withstand a single attack, but hundreds of continuous attacks instantly drowned them in the sea of flames.
When the rumbling sound disappeared, there were still flames burning in the void, but the bats were nowhere to be seen!
The group of Blood Clan elders who had been following closely behind the Human Race powerhouses had no choice but to retreat after receiving Yan Shixin's order.
With the death of the Blood Clan's warriors, there was no longer any meaning for them to restrain the Human Race. Moreover, they would be bombarded by the Raging Flame Lava Cannon above the Ancient Bronze City. Even a Venerable would fall on the spot in the face of a tidal wave of cannonballs.
Finally, the Blood Clan warrior who had ambushed the battle formation masters was turned into ashes by the cannon, and the Blood Venerable who had come to challenge also retreated. However, there wasn't any joy on Xiao Chen's face.
Xiao Chen's gaze turned to the battlefield where the Battle Formation Masters were fighting.
There, blood and bones were flying everywhere, and an endless amount of blood soared into the sky. It was difficult to determine the outcome of the battle between hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time. Moreover, both sides were very restrained, and did not send out combat strength above the Venerable Realm to participate in the battle between the Battle Formation Masters.
Rumble!
Hundreds of thousands of people were fighting, and a vast amount of blood energy covered the sky. The air became a little stagnant due to the dense blood energy, and the blazing blood energy connected together.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Like a sharp blade, the Human Race's battle formation continuously slashed at the Blood Clan's formation. It could be said that after a long period of battle, the Blood Spear Guards who belonged to the Blood Fainted Aristocratic Families had already been torn apart by the Human Race Battle Masters.
Hu!
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Xiao Chen's eyes glowed with determination.
Stall the Blood Clan's Battle Formation Masters and whittle away the strength of the Blood Clan as much as possible. This was the mission of the Blood Clan's Battle Formation Masters.
There were a total of five hundred thousand Battle Masters, and they were the strongest force in the Gu Yuan Tribe other than the Battle Formation Masters. At the same time, they were also the most elite force in the tribe. The remaining Battle Formation Masters in the city were the Battle Masters who had gathered from other combat divisions over the past few days.
In order to stall the Blood Clan and even launch a counterattack, the five hundred thousand Battle Masters had given their all. Putting aside their Battle Formation Masters, every single one of them had more than ten pills on them to heal their injuries and replenish their vitality.
There was even a Blood Explosion Pill. This was a type of pill that could stimulate one's potential. It was also a type of pill that could cause one's cultivation to skyrocket by a small realm. However, it came at the cost of one's life force!
Their mission had only just begun. The Blood Clan's Battle Formation Masters only had three hundred thousand Blood Clan Battle Masters. This number of Blood Clan Battle Masters was naturally more than enough to deal with the Gu Yuan Tribe's five hundred thousand Battle Masters. However, this was just the beginning. An even more tragic battle was yet to come.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Xiao Chen ordered a warrior beside him, "Pass down my order. Tell Ding Shan that it's time for his Battle Formation Masters to attack the Blood Clan's floating island."
"Tell Ding Shan and all the Battle Formation Masters that their comrades at the front are using their lives to stop the Blood Clan's attack and protect them. Don't let the blood of the warriors of the tribe go to waste!"
"Yes!" The warrior leaped off the city wall and sprinted toward Ding Shan.
