*Bang! Bang!*
Beneath the crimson night sky, wave after wave of formidable Yuan Energy erupted continuously. Those who could enter the ancient battlefield were without exception the outstanding young prodigies of their respective Imperial Dynasties. However, at this moment, the Demonic Beasts cared nothing for their status. These excellent talents were being mercilessly slaughtered!
*Boom!*
Qin Yichen casually repelled a Demonic Beast that had lunged at him from atop the metal wall. A trace of urgency flickered in his eyes.
At present, the entire gathering point had descended into fierce combat. Those red pupils had not diminished despite their kills; on the contrary, in the far distance, even more violent auras were faintly approaching.
At the section of metal wall where they were positioned, Demonic Beasts continuously climbed up. Their figures hidden within the gathering point were like a solitary boat that could be destroyed by the tide of Demonic Beasts at any moment.
“Damn it! We can’t continue like this! We won’t last until daybreak!”
Watching this scene, Liu Yun spoke with an extremely grim expression.
If this continued, the gathering point would definitely fall. When that happened, everyone inside would inevitably become food in the bellies of these Demonic Beasts!
For some unknown reason, Liu Yun, who had always looked down on Qin Yichen, now involuntarily turned his gaze toward the latter.
When he saw the grave expression on Qin Yichen’s face, a sense of powerlessness welled up in Liu Yun’s heart. Even this fellow who always had the most cunning plans had no solution?
In merely a moment’s time, two more people were torn to shreds by the Heart-Devouring Demonic Dove and a Martial Emperor Realm Demonic Beast.
“Everyone get down, quickly!”
Only now did those who had been stubbornly resisting atop the metal walls realize that doing so would only hasten their deaths!
Immediately, panicked figures leapt down from the walls. In an instant, not a single person remained on top.
*Roar!*
Having lost their targets, the Demonic Beasts frantically assaulted the surrounding walls. No one knew what material the gathering point’s walls were constructed from. Though they shook continuously from the impacts, they stubbornly refused to break!
Watching the trembling walls, everyone’s eyes were filled with panic. This was their final line of defence. If these walls were breached, they would be exposed to the fangs of the Demonic Beasts!
“Qin Yichen, aren’t you supposed to be full of solutions? Hurry up and think of something!” Having reached this point, Liu Yun no longer maintained his arrogant bearing. Instead, with a look of hope, he turned to Qin Yichen.
To this, Qin Yichen could only respond with a bitter smile. He wasn’t some great Martial Arts expert. What solution could he possibly have for this situation?
“We must leave this place!” Qin Yichen spoke with a grave expression.
“Leave? To where?” Liu Yun was stunned. This place had been left behind by countless previous Imperial Dynasties Assemble attendants. Whether its location or the materials used in its construction, everything was of the highest quality.
On the night of the ancient battlefield, rather than staying properly in a gathering point, they were to run outside? What difference was there between that and suicide?
Whether it was the Evil Energy or the Demonic Beasts whose rationality had been corrupted by Evil Energy, countless bloody unfound corpses had proven this point!
“We can’t hold out here much longer either. Moreover, the stench of blood and commotion here is too great. Soon, even more powerful Demonic Beasts will be attracted. Staying here only means death.” Qin Yichen spoke with a dark expression.
Hearing this, Liu Yun fell silent. In truth, when the people from the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty had abandoned them and left, he had already thought of this.
If this place could be defended, why would those from the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty disregard their reputation and abandon them?
Under the roars of Demonic Beasts surrounding them, everyone’s hearts seemed to pound violently along with the trembling of the walls.
“Everyone, this place is about to fall! Those who want to live, break through with me!”
Amidst the panic, a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned to look. When they saw that figure who appeared only seventeen or eighteen years old, quite a few eyes flashed with mocking expressions.
Break through and escape!?
Forget whether it could be done, even if they luckily managed to charge out, without the gathering place’s protection, since Evil Energy-pervaded the whole ancient battlefield, where could they find a safe place?
As for this place falling, quite a few people still harboured a trace of wishful hope that it would hold up.
“Just relying on you?” When many noticed that Qin Yichen’s aura was merely at the Peak Stage Martial King Realm, voices of doubt emerged.
A mere Peak Stage Martial King youngster. It would be good enough if he did not become a burden! And they should let him lead a breakthrough!?
“Those who want to break through, follow us and charge west. Those who wish to continue staying here, I won’t force you!” Qin Yichen’s gaze swept across the entire venue as his grave voice rang out. “Staying here is only a dead end. You are all talents from your respective Imperial Dynasties. Surely you don’t wish to die so pathetically and aggrievedly here?”
At this moment, Liu Yun also stepped forward, standing slightly behind Qin Yichen’s side as his Peak Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm aura radiated outward.
Sensing Liu Yun’s formidable strength, many pupils contracted, astonishment flickering in their eyes. How had a mere Peak Stage Martial King youngster come to walk alongside such a powerful expert? Moreover, the latter seemed to regard that Peak Stage Martial King youngster as the leader!
Seeing this, Long Qingyao bit her red lips before resolutely standing behind Qin Yichen.
At this moment, the astonishment in many eyes transformed into grave expressions.
Two Martial Emperors had actually taken the initiative to stand behind a Peak Stage Martial King youngster. This was sufficient to demonstrate that he possessed methods worthy of even Martial Emperors’ attention!
Though the majority still remained unmoved, as the assault from the Demonic Beasts outside grew increasingly fierce, several people still stepped forward, walking to stand behind Qin Yichen.
Qin Yichen’s gaze swept across them. Of the forty to fifty people here, only fewer than ten had come over. Clearly, the vast majority would not easily trust him.
However, Qin Yichen had already anticipated this. He had never expected everyone to break through with him.
Most importantly, if there were too many people, the target on their backs would be too large, making them even easier for Demonic Beasts to discover!
Among these ten people, there were five Early Stage Martial Emperors. The remaining few were all Peak Stage Martial Kings. If this combat force united together, it wasn’t entirely without hope of breaking through!
“Let’s go!” Qin Yichen glanced at them before speaking. Immediately, his figure took the lead in heading toward the western wall. In several flashes, he had already leapt out. Liu Yun and Long Qingyao followed without a word.
Though doubt also flickered in the eyes of those ten experts, in the end they gritted their teeth as their figures shot forth.
“*Hmph!* Fools!”
“Going out to die!”
Seeing the dozen or so people charge out, the remaining people all wore mocking expressions.
After all, in their view, nowhere was safer than this place. Even with Demonic Beasts besieging them, they only needed to prevent those Demonic Beasts from entering over the walls and hold out until daybreak!
