Chapter 803
Enemies meet
Outside the canyon, atop a steep, solitary peak, several figures stood with their hands behind their backs.
In the sky surrounding this mountain peak, countless figures stood in mid-air, their boundless fighting spirit surging out like a tide, almost filling the entire world.
At a glance, those figures appeared to be of an extremely large scale, numbering nearly ten thousand.
An army of this size would be among the best even among the kings of the Qiankun Sect.
With such a large army gathered together, their fighting spirit was incredibly powerful and overwhelming.
The air was thick with fighting spirit, completely enveloping the canyon like a birdcage, trapping everyone inside. Not even a fly could escape.
"My lord, the forces of the Calamity Palace have been completely driven into the valley. Once we launch an offensive, we will surely annihilate them all!" On the mountaintop, a figure flashed by, knelt down on one knee in mid-air, and respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute.
On the mountaintop, two figures stood at the forefront. One of them was an old acquaintance of Lin Langtian, none other than the young master of the Desolate Palace, Huang Buxiu.
At this moment, Huang Buxiu, dressed in black, was still handsome and dashing. He did not show any signs of dejection due to the defeat of that day. On the contrary, his eyes were even brighter, clearly showing that he had become even stronger in the face of that failure.
After all, he was given such high hopes by the Earth Desolate Palace and had mastered the Great Sun Undying Body, so he was clearly a person of firm character and would not lose his fighting spirit because of a single failure.
Huang Buxiu stood with one hand behind his back, exuding an aura of indifference.
Beside Huang Buxiu stood another powerful figure with an astonishing aura.
This man exuded a chillingly fierce aura. His eyes, when scanning the room, were like ancient ice, revealing a chilling intent. Ordinary people would probably feel fear just by looking at him.
This man was none other than Lin Langtian's old enemy, the Ice King!
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the Ice King nodded, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he gazed at the distant valley, a sinister smile spreading across his lips.
"The people of the Calamity Palace actually dare to compete with my Glacier Palace for the ruins. They are really delusional. And those Calamity Guards also want to compete with my Glacier Army. They are really overestimating themselves."
Huang Buxiu, standing to the side, smiled slightly upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping across the land.
At this moment, in the distant surrounding area, waves of people and horses were constantly rushing in.
They were all drawn here by the news of the battle between the Earth Desolate Pavilion and the Qiankun Sect. After all, the clash between two top forces would cause a great shock, no matter the outcome.
"If the Ice King can really devour this Palace of Calamity, it will be a great achievement, and your name will spread throughout the continental hunting war," said Huang Buxiu with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the Ice King smiled slightly, but his smile was filled with a fierce light. He laughed and said, "We have to thank you, Young Palace Master, otherwise we really wouldn't have discovered this rat stealing the ruins right under our noses."
"Although the Palace of Calamity is now a trapped beast, the Ice King still needs to be careful. The Calamity King is a peak Fifth Grade Supreme expert. If he fights desperately, it will be quite troublesome," Huang Buxiu said calmly.
"Peak of the Fifth Grade Supreme?"
The Ice King's lips curled into a disdainful smile as he said, "With this kind of strength, the Calamity King doesn't have the ability to escape from me."
However, despite saying that, the Ice King clearly did not intend to delay any longer. He immediately waved his hand and prepared to order an attack to completely annihilate the Calamity Guards.
hum!
However, just as he was about to strike, both he and Huang Buxiu's expressions suddenly changed slightly, and they abruptly turned their heads to look in the southeast direction.
As the sky there trembled, an astonishing fighting spirit swept in like a storm.
The many hidden forces in this world also became aware of this at this moment, and countless astonished gazes were immediately cast towards it.
They were clearly somewhat surprised, after all, everyone knew that this was a battle between the Earth Desolate Palace and the Qiankun Sect. Ordinary forces would not dare to interfere recklessly, lest they get burned.
call out!call out!
Under the gaze of countless eyes in the world, a dark curtain of light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
There, one could see countless dark figures rushing past, their boundless fighting spirit emanating from their bodies, as if carrying a chilling demonic might, descending upon this world with a thunderous roar, their pressure intimidating all the heroes.
"Who goes there, daring to interfere in the affairs of my desolate palace!"
The Ice King stared at the approaching, pitch-black army, his eyes suddenly narrowing. He seemed to have sensed the army's overwhelming fighting spirit, and immediately roared, his voice echoing like thunder throughout the heavens and earth.
"who?!"
Above the valley, nearly ten thousand glacier soldiers roared in unison, their terrifying fighting spirit soaring into the sky, causing the wind and clouds to change color and the heavens and earth to tremble.
With such fighting spirit, even a sixth-rank supreme being would have to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack!
However, the army that surged in like a black torrent remained completely still.
A tall, slender figure appeared, a man in a blue robe with his hands behind his back, his calm voice ringing out: "King of the Ice, do you not recognize an old acquaintance?"
"Heavenly Demon Guard!"
At the same time, all the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Guard had their eyes flash with divine light.
The vast battle intent surged like ocean waves, the roar was like thunder, rolling endlessly, directly suppressing and dispersing the battle intent brought by the Glacier Army.
Between heaven and earth, two terrifying battle intents each filled half of the sky. When the battle intents collided, even the sky trembled, and cracks spread out from the point of collision.
"Lin Langtian!?"
When the Ice King saw the newcomer, he was first taken aback, and then a chilling killing intent appeared in his eyes.
He never expected to run into his son's killer here!
Beside the Ice King, Huang Buxiu, who had been calm and collected, began to furrow his brows little by little.
His deep gaze locked onto the tall, slender figure at the forefront of the Heavenly Demon Guard. Something flashed through his mind, and an unpleasant expression appeared on his face.
At the same time, the Ice King's eyes suddenly turned fierce. He stared menacingly at Lin Langtian's figure in the distance and sneered.
"I originally intended to destroy the Palace of Calamity, but I didn't expect to be able to kill two birds with one stone. Perfect timing, I've been searching for your whereabouts all along!"
Lin Langtian and Jiang Yinlan stood in mid-air. When the latter heard the Glacier King's sinister laughter, her beautiful eyes turned cold, and a vast and powerful spiritual force surged between her jade hands.
"Attack him for me!"
"Ice King said coldly, and then with a wave of his sleeve, five thousand Ice Army soldiers separated from the battle formation. With a low roar, their battle intent filled with coldness soared into the sky."
In the eyes of the Ice King, the number of Heavenly Demon Guards was no more than five thousand.
He had already separated five thousand Glacier Army soldiers to deal with them, which was enough. After all, in the previous encounter between the Calamity Guard and the Glacier Army, they were completely defeated in just half an incense stick's time.
Right now, his main priority is to deal with the remnants of the Calamity Guard in the valley. Then, he will turn around and make sure Lin Langtian is buried with them.
Boom boom!
The Glacier Army roared across the sky, their boundless, icy-white battle intent sweeping across the heavens like a frozen sea. As the battle intent surged, it transformed into millions of ice spears, raining down upon the Heavenly Demon Guards.
Such a display of power would obliterate even a fifth-rank supreme being.
However, Lin Langtian merely raised his head, his dark eyes calmly gazing at the thousands of ice spears hurtling towards him. Then, he smiled slightly and said, "It seems the Ice King overestimates himself..."
He gently raised his palm and then lowered it.
boom!
A black wave, like a volcano, surged forth from the Heavenly Demon Guard at this moment.
The immense demonic battle intent condensed and transformed directly into an enormous, pitch-black demonic sword. At the sword's edge, a light sharp enough to tear through space itself emanated…
Swish!
Lin Langtian flicked his finger, and the dark demonic sword disappeared.
No one could see it clearly; all they could see was a streak of dark sword light flashing across the sky.
Where the sword light swept past, countless ice spears shattered almost instantly, turning into countless points of light...
That was a devastating destruction!
call out!
The jet-black demonic sword swept past countless shocked gazes across the world, ultimately bypassing the glacier army and striking the battle intent barrier that shrouded the canyon in the distance.
Click!
The moment the attack struck, the barrier of battle intent formed by the fighting spirit of the Glacier Army collapsed completely, like fragile glass.
As the barrier of battle intent collapsed, the Calamity Guardians in the valley were revealed. However, they were all looking at this scene in shock, presumably having also witnessed the astonishing attack of the Heavenly Demon Guardians.
The Ice King's expression changed drastically as he watched this scene. Even the usually composed Huang Buxiu beside him couldn't help but shrink his pupils at this moment, as they were all shocked by the Heavenly Demon Guard's surging and astonishing battle intent.
Who could have predicted that these Heavenly Demon Guards, numbering only around five thousand, would possess such terrifying fighting spirit?!
Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes, Lin Langtian simply smiled.
He gazed at the glacier king, whose face was ashen, and his laughter echoed throughout the world, so that no one dared to ignore him easily.
"The Glacier Army is nothing special."
Lin Langtian's voice resounded throughout the world. Although his voice was calm, the terrifying battle intent surrounding him made no one in the world dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
Even the Ice King's pupils constricted slightly at this moment. Then, he stared at Lin Langtian with a fierce look and slowly said, "I didn't expect you to be able to control your battle intent to this extent. I underestimated you."
"But to dare to make such boastful claims based on this alone is simply courting death!"
Although the overwhelming fighting spirit displayed by the Heavenly Demon Guards had surprised him greatly, it only meant that the Heavenly Demon Guards were qualified to fight the same number of Ice Army soldiers head-on.
However, the current situation is that he has a total of 10,000 Glacier Army soldiers.
However, the Heavenly Demon Guards number only five thousand. Once the war begins, the Heavenly Demon Guards will surely suffer a crushing defeat.
On the other side, in that canyon, King Calamity and all of Calamity's guards were gazing at the distant sky.
The Heavenly Demon Guards and the Glacier Army were locked in a standoff, their eyes displaying complex emotions.
Because they all clearly sensed that the Heavenly Demon Guards had undergone a complete transformation compared to a year ago.
"This time, I owe a favor to the Heavenly Demon King and the Silver Mist King," said the Calamity King with a complicated expression.
As the King of Calamity was experiencing complex emotions, Lin Langtian suddenly formed a hand seal.
His once calm eyes now began to gleam with a sharp edge, and a fierce aura, like a drawn sword, emanated from his body.
"Heavenly Demon Guard!" Lin Langtian shouted, his voice suddenly echoing throughout the land.
"war!"
Countless Heavenly Demon Guards stomped their spears on the ground, roaring like thunder, their battle intent surging into the sky like a vast, dark sea of demons.
boom!
Lin Langtian stomped his foot, and a surge of dark battle intent swept behind him, causing his fighting spirit to surge.
Then countless people witnessed a gigantic demonic hand, its body covered in battle runes, condensing from the surging battle intent, like the hand of a demon god, blotting out the sky and the sun…
The Demon God's Palm seemed to have come from another realm. Countless people were horrified to see the black battle intent shooting straight into the sky like a waterfall. In just a few breaths, almost the entire world was filled with that vast battle intent.
"The Spirit of War?!"
Almost simultaneously, a series of shocked exclamations suddenly resounded throughout the land.
The people from various factions all changed color, staring wide-eyed at the scene, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Lin Langtian actually managed to condense the battle spirit of the Heavenly Demon Guard..."
Inside the canyon, King Calamity and the others stared at this scene with stiff expressions, then looked at each other and couldn't help but gasp.
Among the armies of the kings, Lin Langtian is probably the first to be able to summon the spirit of battle!
"The spirit of fighting spirit?"
The Glacier King's eyes were also fixed on the dark demonic hand amidst the overwhelming battle intent.
His face finally turned ashen; Lin Langtian's trump card had clearly exceeded his expectations.
Only then did he understand why Lin Langtian was so fearless.
Despite being far outnumbered by the Glacier Army, the Heavenly Demon Guards, who possessed the spirit of battle, were not something the Glacier King was confident he could defeat.
Because he also knew very well just how important the spirit of battle was to an army.
Glacier King's eyes were gloomy. He stared at Lin Langtian with a fierce look and said coldly, "Do you really think that having the Spirit of Battle Intent will allow you to fight against my Glacier Army?"
"I'm going to test today whether your spirit of battle is as powerful as you think!"
Although the Glacier King was aware of the power of the Spirit of War, it was clearly something he could not tolerate for him to choose to retreat.
Even though he knew that if war broke out, he would pay an extremely heavy price. (End of Chapter)
