999 Let Me Fight Alongside You
Clang!
As the blade was drawn, a quick and crisp sound resonated. A crimson blade light streaked across the void like a sharp whip, piercing through heaven and earth. It spanned dozens of feet in length, exuding a fierce blade intent that was filled with coldness and annihilation. Swift, merciless, and destructive.
Already reaching the level of the second tribulation, the energy of the blade intent erupted. Nothing could withstand even a single slash.
When everyone saw the blade light, it had already cleaved onto the stargate. The speed of the blade was so fast that it was beyond the grasp of human sight.
Catching a fleeting glimpse of the second tribulation blade intent, particularly Fu Mingxue’s, inflicted an agonizing sensation as if one’s flesh were being torn apart.
It was truly overwhelming.
However, something peculiar happened.
When this crimson blade light landed on the stargate, a bizarre black whirlpool manifested, unleashing a powerful devouring force. The stargate seemed truly illusory, allowing the blade light to slice through and engulf it before vanishing without a trace.
Fu Mingxue’s face tightened.
“I can no longer sense that blade intent.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A violent rumbling sound reverberated from the ground, shaking the earth.
This tremor sounded as if a thousand troops were rapidly charging on the ground.
Li Xiang and the others turned their heads and were taken aback by what they saw.
In the distance, a large army was approaching speedily, charging straight toward the stargate. The approaching army carried with them a palpable sense of anger and thirst for battle.
They were the Tauren, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Every one of these Tauren was stained with blood, some even marred by gruesome wounds and showing obvious signs of maiming. It was evident that they had experienced a brutal battle.
At the forefront was none other than Alista, the Tauren chieftain.
However, at this moment, the state of the Tauren chieftain did not look good. His two bovine eyes were fuming with wrath as he carried a totem pole. Taking large strides forward, the ground trembled with each step.
“Humans, Li Xiang!”
Alista immediately spotted Li Xiang standing on the Nine Dragons Chariot and questioned, “Is there any connection between you and this stargate?”
“You think so?” Li Xiang said calmly.
“Hmph! I doubt you have the ability!” The Tauren chieftain snorted coldly
He knew that this stargate had no connection to Li Xiang or the Human race. If there was any association, the strength of the Human race would not be what it is now.
“It seems that you have also encountered a large army that emerged out of nowhere. Chieftain, may I ask if the enemy you faced last night also came from this stargate?” Zhou Qing asked with a smile.
“What is this stargate? Why are there armies of different races pouring out from it, even including warriors from our Tauren race who attacked us? And there are large armies of other races as well. Without clarity, how can I accept it?” Alista looked towards the stargate with seething rage.
After leaving Rising Sun City with a large group of Tauren, they soon found another war city. The war city was not as large as Rising Sun City, but it could accommodate tens of thousands of people, which was more than enough for the Tauren race and a good choice. At that time, the war city was also fiercely contested by warriors of various races, resulting in a savage bloodbath.
There were no powerhouses in the Divine Fate Realm in the city, and with Alista’s prestige among the Tauren, they easily took control of the war city. However, warriors from other races also entered the city. Eventually, a compromise was reached for them to cohabit in the city, but the situation was dominated by the Tauren. Alista became the lord of the war city, and the number of warriors from other races reached hundreds of thousands.
After a meteor shower, large armies from various races unexpectedly emerged during the night. The first to appear was a large number of Kobolds. The Kobold warriors guarding the city walls were ecstatic to see the arrival of so many warriors from their “clan”. Instead of stopping them, they opened the city gates.
A devastating war erupted. The Kobolds who had opened the gates were directly torn to pieces by their own “clansmen”. They rushed into the city and ignited a brutal carnage.
With the city gates breached, the entire battle turned into a fierce tug-of-war centered around the gates. These attackers had the same appearance as warriors from various races, making it difficult to distinguish them in the darkness. The warriors inside the city who had gathered together temporarily became even more chaotic. Many foreign races perished due to infighting.
The bodies piled up in the war city overnight. The Tauren race suffered heavy casualties as well.
As soon as daylight arrived, those mysterious enemies who were engaging in violent combat inexplicably began to retreat.
At that time, the Tauren chieftain wasted no time in sending scouts to investigate the whereabouts of these enemies and found the location of the stargate. He then led the Tauren army to launch an aggressive attack. Unexpectedly, they encountered the Human race and Li Xiang again.
The chieftain’s expression turned grim as he saw Li Xiang.
“This stargate cannot be broken by external forces. However, it should be possible to transmit through it. As for where it leads, no one can know unless they enter personally. If the chieftain is interested, you can personally try it. Li Xiang is willing to fight alongside the chieftain,” Li Xiang said as he gazed intently at the stargate.
“Li Xiang, you can also go in. I grant you the honor,” the Tauren chieftain said as his expression hardened.
Did Li Xiang really think he was that foolish just because he was a Tauren?
It would be like walking into a trap to enter this mysterious stargate without knowing its true nature and origin. Anyone who wished to go ahead was free to do so, but he was not that stupid to blindly venture into it. That would be utterly absurd.
“Unless something unexpected happens, those monsters will emerge from the stargate when the time comes. We don’t know how many enemies there are or where they come from. Based on what we witnessed last night, these creatures have no reason or rationality. They exist solely for slaughter and destruction. They may not even consider us enemies!” Li Xiang spoke.
The Tauren chieftain did not respond but silently concurred.
“Ah, don’t chase after me! It wasn’t intentional, I lost control. I really lost control. Those who know me know that I never lie. My hands often have intermittent loss of control. It was an accident, a complete accident!”
A clamor and shrill cries reached their ears, piercingly sharp and haunting. Moreover, the owner of that voice seemed to be swiftly approaching their direction.
“You bastard! I will skin you alive, tear your body into a thousand pieces, and imprison your divine soul in the Nine Serenities, burning it with demonic fire day and night.”
A cold, menacing voice followed with strong murderous intent.
