Chapter 875: Chain Reaction, Five Wives?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Monster Emperor Baizhi, the most powerful in the Holy Region, not only had extremely high capability and intelligence, but was also very experienced. Once she saw the chance, she would definitely make full use of it.
Although she was attacked by Qian Yu from the back, she did not bother with it and continued to focus on Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng.
Monster Emperor Baizhi was very certain that the “struggle before death” of humankind would officially end if she defeated Mo and Mu.
After that, she would only need to regain her control over Nangong Hao. Like her initial plan, everything would fall into place and no more unexpected incidents would happen.
Boom! A lightning struck.
Mo Shanshi was sent flying again with purple lightning bolts twisted around his body. His expression was distorted.
“Valley Master!”
“Master!”
The disciples of Fu Xi Valley reacted anxiously to this scene. The silver dragon in the sky that was made up of hundred over disciples of the Fu Xi Valley began moving.
This movement was noticed by some of the Monster Kings.
Monsters lived in the deep mountains and absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon to train. In such an environment, they naturally had exceptional sensitivity.
None of the creatures in the world could win the monster race in terms of seizing opportunities. This was caused by the nature of the monster race’s habitat.
Upon seeing the movement of the silver dragon, three Monster Kings immediately sprang into action at the same time. They began their joint attack on the few “nervous” disciples who were in a “daze”.
Crack! The silver dragon which was initially connected was split from the center. The silver long connection was broken and a few disciples had their bodies torn into half. Blood splattered in the air.
This was a chain reaction!
As the mental support of the Fu Xi Valley, once Mo Shanshi met a crisis, the disciples of the Fu Xi Valley would also be affected.
In fact, this chain reaction did not only affect the Fu Xi Valley.
The sword formation formed by the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion was also unstable. After all, the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion were also deeply concerned with Mu Qingfeng’s safety.
As the ancient saying goes, a snake without head cannot crawl. Regardless of whether it was on the battlefield or in the sect, once they had lost the leader, the morale would also be greatly affected and there was a ninety percent chance that it would result in a failure.
In contrast, when the opponent’s leader was in an advantageous position on the battlefield, the morale of their disciples would increase. Indeed, as one falls, another rises.
Mo Shanshi’s energy was depleted and this affected Mu Qingfeng. Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng’s fall also affected the disciples of Fu Xi Valley and Heaven Dao Pavilion.
It was predictable that the outcome of this battle was leaning towards the monster race’s favor.
In the Great War that happened over ten years ago, although the monster race and demon race were more powerful than the humankind, the two races not only lost the battle but also ended up killing one another, resulting in the death of nearly all of the powerful individuals of the demon race.
Yet after more than ten years…
The situation was exactly opposite.
In terms of numbers, humankind had an absolute advantage. However, the chances of winning were slim and there was even a possibility of failure.
“Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns.” Although this sentence felt like a ridicule, it was not completely unreasonable.
Roar!
“Attack!”
With a ferocious roar, the Monster Kings’ killing intent was raging. Instead of defending, they decided to change their tactic and attacked the troop beneath.
“Oh no, the Monster Kings are attacking us!”
“Run for your lives!”
The disciples of the various sects were no match for the Monster Kings. As they saw dozens of Monster Kings approach, they panicked.
Besides them, the troops of the Four Great Empires also moved. The previously calm and composed troops began surrounding the emperor of the Four Great Empires.
“Protect His Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, please leave this dangerous place!”
“Hurry, stand aside!”
The sounds of a commotion could be heard. As compared to the calmness previously, humankind had ended up in a state of commotion. Although they were not yet escaping, the morale had been greatly affected.
This commotion had inevitably affected the sages who were fighting in midair. When they saw how the disciples of the various sects started scurrying, they began to lose their composure.
As the saying goes, “When disaster strikes, birds fly off in different directions.”
Regarding this battle that involved the future of humankind, everyone was mentally prepared to fight until their deaths. However, there was still a huge difference between being mentally prepared and actually dying.
Nobody wants to die.
Therefore, although they knew that they should not retreat, when the Monster Kings pressured them, they subconsciously began to retreat, hoping that others would be able to fight on their behalf.
When one person retreated, the surrounding few would also be affected. When three or four people retreated together, the situation then became worrying.
“Brace it, do not retreat!”
“If we are able to fight with all our might, then the Monster Kings won’t be able to defeat us!”
“Let us work together and repulse the Monster Kings!”
As the sages were forced to retreat, someone finally reacted. However, it was too late as the fighters’ mindsets had already changed.
It changed from attack to defense mode!
This was a critical point even though this change was not very noticeable. The fighting power of the troops is greatly diminished when they were only concerned about defending.
“Second Hallmaster, the situation looks awry. Should we do some preparation…” In the Yin Yang Hall, an old man looked at Dao Xin nervously.
“If Hallmaster is here, there shouldn’t be a problem.” Dao Xin frowned. The veil covering his face was blown by the gentle breeze, revealing a face of purity.
“However, the Yin Yang Hall is known for assisting and providing recovery support. Now that the people of the Fu Xi Valley and Heaven Dao Pavilion are defeated, the Yin Yang Hall and Ling Yun Tower have taken over the front line. Although the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower are powerful enough, the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall cannot match up to that. If this continues, the Yin Yang Hall would suffer the most loss!” The old man said.
“Hmm…” Dao Xin frowned harder when he heard this. Looking at the powerful individuals who were retreating, she clenched her fists and said, “We are set for defeat, it is hard to turn the tables…”
“Please decide for us, Second Hallmaster!”
“Retreating… is not an option! Nobody can retreat in such a situation. Whoever who retreats first would definitely lose. Unless we… break down parts to form a whole!”
“Break down parts to form a whole? Understood!” Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a while. Soon after, he understood the meaning of Dao Xin’s words.
He was right about how the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall were better at support and recovery efforts. This was why the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall were allocated to the different sects when the battle began.
That was meant by breaking down a whole into parts!
Breaking down parts to form a whole meant to gather the dispersed disciples to form back a whole entity. The reformation would give the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall a chance to “retreat”, while gathering them together.
Of course, Dao Hun was a critical factor for this reformation.
Instead of joining the joint attack on Monster Emperor Baizhi, Dao Hun remained in the battle with the Monster Kings. This gave the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall an excellent opportunity for reformation.
If all the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall who were participating in the battle had reformed and gathered near Dao Hun, with Dao Hun’s blessings and protection, they could minimize their loss.
How witty of the old man to understand Dao Xin’s train of thought. Without hesitation, he shouted at the disciples of Yin Yang Hall, “Gather at the direction of my left index finger, form the two arrays of Yin and Yang!”
“Yes!” After hearing the old man’s orders, the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall moved quickly and gathered in the direction he was pointing to.
With this movement, the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and Fu Xi Valley were shocked.
Without the assistance and recovery support of the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall, it was as though they had embarked on a journey to a desolate island without any water or food. This caused them to panic.
To put it frankly, it meant that they could only depend on themselves when they were injured!
Of course, they would panic!
Retreat, retreat, and retreat further…
Although they did not say it out, this sentence echoed in the minds of the disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion and Yin Yang Hall.
They were completely ruined.
If they were said to be retreating slowly earlier on, they would be described to be fleeing for their lives now. Furthermore, some sages had already escaped to hide behind the elite disciples.
“…”
The scene made people speechless.
Yet that was the cruel reality. When facing a life-threatening situation, even the sages would choose to run to a safer position.
“Your Majesty, it looks like we are losing. Please leave with the two princesses first!” A general of the Great Xia Dynasty who was guarding Ping Yang and Chi Guyan said as he looked at Lin Mubai.
“Yu Er is still in the midst of a battle, how can I possibly leave first?” Emperor Lin Mubai frowned and flung his long sleeves violently.
“Empress Yu’s powers are extraordinary. Even if the situation is looking bad, she would still have the capability to escape. However, if we continued staying here, it may affect her escape!”
“Yes, Your Majesty, please leave with the two princesses first!”
“Where’s there’s life there’s hope. One of the princesses had already achieved the Sage State while the other is the chosen one as well as the heroine of humankind. You shouldn’t worry about the possibility of turning the tides of the battle!”
After hearing this, other ministers and generals of the Four Great Empires also began to persuade.
Emperor Lin Mubai’s lips trembled. He wanted to stay, but he could not make that decision after looking at the unconscious Ping Yang and the severely injured Chi Guyan.
“You guys get ready to leave with the two princesses. Meanwhile, leave behind hundred soldiers with me to defend from the rear!” Lin Mubai finally made his decision after biting his lips.
“This…” The ministers and generals stared at each other with a hesitant gaze. After all, how could they possibly leave the Emperor behind to defend?
“Those who don’t obey my order shall be killed!” Lin Mubai was infuriated when he saw that the ministers and generals stood stationary at their spots.
“Yes your majesty!” After Emperor Lin Mubai shouted, the ministers and generals did not dare to delay any further and obeyed immediately.
At this time, a weak voice could be heard.
“I am not leaving, bring Ping Yang away first.” The voice was obviously from Chi Guyan. As she spoke, Chi Guyan stood up with difficulties. Her pink long dress moved in the breeze, the spots of fresh blood was as beautiful as blooming flowers.
“Princess…”
“Stop talking, get ready to leave with Ping Yang.” Chi Guyan waved her hands and prevented the ministers and generals from continuing their sentence.
“Yes!” The ministers and generals knew Chi Guyan’s personality was as such. They wanted to say something but were unable to do so in the end.
At other positions, the ministers and generals of the other three great empires had already left with their emperors, occupying the positions of retreat in an “orderly” manner.
It was like the arrow on the bowstring that was waiting to be shot.
…
“Hahaha…” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s laughter echoed in the sky as she looked down at the situation beneath.
This was a massive despise.
Yet this despise had infuriated those beneath who were already in a state of chaos. A small trigger could cause them to explode with anger.
And the trigger would be the first person who escapes.
Be it the Five Sects of the Holy Region, Four Great Empires or the sects of varying sizes, as long as one of the sects make their escape first, it would cause massive chaos.
“Ah, I don’t want to die yet!”
“I am still young… I still have five wives at home…”
“Don’t… Don’t kill me!”
At this moment, the disciples of the various sects let out a few screams of agony. Then, a handful of disciples started running down the mountain.
“Who dares to escape?!” At the instant when the few disciples escaped, an old man stood out, blocking the path with a long sword in front of his chest.
“Ah… I don’t want to stay and wait for my death!” Blocked by the old man, one of the disciples became extremely anxious and ran into the old man without any thoughts.
“Do you want to die?” The long sword in front of the old man’s chest moved. Without hesitation, it stabbed towards the disciples who ran towards him.
Slash! The sharp sword stabbed through their bodies and blood splattered into the air.
