Divine-level Base

Chapter 338 - 337: Breaking the Vanguard

Under the incredibly dense barrage of light, four Swamp Three-headed Serpents had all three of their heads riddled with holes. Their bodies became corpses that were slowly swallowed whole by the swamp.

BANG!

A ray of Starlight shot out from a thicket, striking a Devouring Ghost Demon Count in the head and instantly shattering it.

"Damn that Assassin!!"

The Void Demon army, both shocked and furious, frantically fired at the thicket where Xingchen was.

An endless rain of light slammed into the swampy thicket, riddling the bushes with holes and blasting dozens of them to pieces.

Assassin Star was a Top Level assassin. Every time he fired a shot, he would instantly leave his position, rendering the Void Demon army’s attacks useless. Such was the terror of a top-tier powerhouse.

Only a terrifying powerhouse of the Duke Level could lock onto Assassin Star’s position with their incredibly sharp Spiritual Sense.

A massive wave erupted from the swamp again, sweeping dozens of Swamp Demon Lizards into it.

Swamp Three-headed Serpents surged up from below, sinking their teeth into the dozens of Swamp Demon Lizards and dragging them to the bottom of the swamp.

Countless beams of Demon Light blasted the massive swamp wave, shattering it. The remaining beams struck the Swamp Three-headed Serpents, killing several of them instantly.

BANG!

Three beams of Starlight shot out from a thicket.

A Void Demon Count used a strange Body Technique to dodge frantically, but a beam of starlight still hit him in the head, blowing it apart and sending his corpse tumbling to the ground.

"Retreat!!"

The surviving Swamp Demon Lizards began to quickly retreat in the direction they had come from.

From beneath the swamp, the Swamp Five-headed Serpent stirred up massive waves, sweeping up one Swamp Demon Lizard after another.

The Void Demon Counts quickly gave the order for the Swamp Demon Lizards to scatter and flee.

This drastically reduced the Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s hunting efficiency. On Shu Feng’s command, it then began to hunt the Void Demon Counts instead.

A terrifyingly massive swamp wave rolled toward a Void Demon Count.

"Break!"

Facing the terrifyingly massive swamp wave, the Void Demon Count swung his sword, and a terrifying, ink-black slash of Sword Qi instantly shattered the wave.

BANG!

A Starlight Beam shot out from behind the shattered wave, instantly blowing the Void Demon Count’s head to pieces.

After teaming up with the Swamp Five-headed Serpent to hunt down and kill seven Void Demon Counts, Assassin Star immediately backed off.

Beyond this thicket was a wide-open swampy plain. If the remaining Void Demon Counts teamed up in that open terrain, they could definitely take out Assassin Star.

「On the other side of the Mire Dragon Marsh.」

Duke Lamata said indifferently, "It was a failure. It seems Shu Feng was prepared. Our plan has been seen through."

Duke Yide said coldly, "Was it those vile things from the Ghost Demon Race? They would love to see both us and Shu Feng suffer heavy losses."

Under the suppression of Divine-level Powerhouses like the King of Strange Evil, the Ghost Demon Race and the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan barely managed to restrain themselves from killing each other. However, incidents of betraying each other’s marching routes were not uncommon.

Duke Lamata said slowly, "Given the current situation, sending our men in batches is just a crude, piecemeal strategy. It seems the two of us will have to go ourselves."

Duke Yide clapped his hands lightly.

Countless heavy-duty Magic Energy trucks drove out from the side, arriving at the edge of the Mire Dragon Marsh. One after another, Swamp Demon Lizards crawled out from the trucks.

In order to conquer the Mire Dragon Territory from the direction of the Mire Dragon Marsh, the powerhouses of the Void Demon Clan had also invested massive resources.

A tracked, heavy-duty truck drove over from the distance, coming to a stop at the edge of the Mire Dragon Marsh.

A terrifying Demon, the Swamp Demon Dragon Turtle, slowly crawled out. It was forty meters long and covered in scales, with the head of a Giant Dragon, a thick turtle shell on its back, and a giant serpent for a tail.

That Swamp Demon Dragon Turtle was the trump card prepared by Duke Yide and his forces—a terrifying Demon that possessed the Power of the Swamp. It was precisely because of the existence of this incredibly fearsome Swamp Demon Dragon Turtle that the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan had formulated a plan to attack from the Mire Dragon Marsh, a naturally treacherous location.

"Move out!"

At Duke Yide’s command, the army advanced. Aside from Marquis Laida and Marquis Xivin, who volunteered to stay behind, the other Seven Great Marquises led an elite army of 350,000 Devouring Ghost Demon Clan soldiers into the Mire Dragon Marsh, all riding atop Swamp Demon Lizards.

The terrifying army swept through the Mire Dragon Marsh, easily dispatching any swamp monsters that appeared.

The terrifying army soon reached the thicket where Marquis Far had been ambushed.

Suddenly, a terrifyingly massive swamp wave rose up from the area and swept toward the Swamp Demon Dragon Turtle.

A vicious glint flashed in the Swamp Demon Dragon Turtle’s eyes as the terrifying Power of Void Demon swirled around its body.

The massive swamp wave that had just risen was instantly calmed. At the same time, the swamp ahead parted for a hundred meters, revealing a Swamp Five-headed Serpent hidden a hundred meters below.

"Die!!"

Duke Yide, holding the Demon Spear [Ghost-devouring Fang], gave a cold smile and pulled the trigger, aiming at the Swamp Five-headed Serpent a hundred meters below.

A razor-sharp Ghost-devouring Fang shot out like a meteor, slamming into the Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s neck.

BOOM!!

A terrifyingly loud explosion rang out. The Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s neck exploded, sending all five of its heads flying and spewing a massive spray of blood. Just like that, the terrifying swamp monster was killed in a single blow by Duke Yide.

’So powerful! So this is a Void Demon Duke! Utterly vicious!’

Assassin Star, hidden in the thicket, drew in a sharp breath. He remained quietly concealed, hiding his aura, not daring to reveal even a sliver of killing intent.

The gap between a Semi-Saint Level Void Demon Marquis and a Void Demon Duke was as wide as the heavens. Assassin Star, relying on his assassin’s instincts and incredibly powerful Spiritual Sense, knew that if he tried to assassinate the two Void Demon Dukes, it would be a one-way trip to his death.

"That little rat is pretty cunning! This time he doesn’t even dare to peek his head out!"

Duke Lamata glanced in Assassin Star’s direction and gave a cold smile, but didn’t go over to search.

The two Void Demon Dukes were very clear on their mission: to escort the elite army of 350,000 Void Demons to the Mire Dragon Territory. As long as they reached the Mire Dragon Territory, it would be their victory.

Just then, a terrifying, hundred-meter-high swamp wave rose from the swamp ahead, sweeping toward the Swamp Demon Dragon Turtle.
