The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 189 - Battle for the Feng Empire
Xue Zhan stood tall and was ready to challenge the hundreds of Black Cross Mask warriors that filled the edge of the harbor. A silence was created among the crowd when Xue Zhan raised his sword and entered the battle circle.
A few warriors moved forward to attack Xue Zhan, within a single second only three attacks entered and he was able to dodge their attacks with quick movements. His spinning sword refracted the reflection of the sunlight, without a doubt he launched an attack with the basic movement technique belonging to the Thousand Tree Mountain.
The clinking of the sword was clearly heard from where the crowd of people who were standing watching in anxiety, it looked as though Xue Zhan was able to kill some enemies quickly.
However, attacks continued to come from all directions. Xue Zhan had to move quickly and use a trick technique to defeat his opponents. He leaped into the air and turned his sword quickly creating a halo for two seconds that slashed three heads at once.
In a state that increasingly trapped him in the enemy party, Xue Zhan raised his hands parallel to his chest while concentrating his profound energy in both palms.
"Signor of the God of Destruction!"
In an instant, an extremely powerful blow struck dozens of men at once until it fell into the sea. The originally blue sea began to turn blood red as more victims fell.
Seeing that the attack the Black Cross Mask warriors were increasingly lively attacking him, Xue Zhan moved nimbly and dodged their attacks. He then unleashed a kick towards one of the warriors, and the swordsman was thrown several meters away from being hit by a deadly blow.
Yet more and more warriors joined the fight, making the situation even more complicated and difficult for Xue Zhan to overcome. Attacks came from all directions, and he was barely able to dodge them.
Xue Zhan had lost his balance and started to feel a piercing pain when a huge axe hit his shoulder. He almost fell down, but he quickly got up and dodged the next attack launched by the Black Cross Mask warrior. Xue Zhan tried to stay focused even though his body was already injured and the pain started to feel.
He was trying to heal his wounds though while facing the fight in plain sight, Xue Zhan lunged forward and attacked with a sharp sword move. The sharp iron crossed the air, cutting through anything it passed through.
The intense attacks of Xue Zhan made it difficult for the Black Cross Mask warriors to anticipate. They clashed against each other with swords, but Xue Zhan's movements instead grew sharp and deadly as time went on.
Just then, a trick attack technique suddenly appeared which was launched by one of the Black Cross Mask warriors. The attack had managed to trick Xue Zhan, and Xue Zhan had almost been hit by a crushing attack from his opponent. He managed to resist and dodge the attack with a sideways jumping motion.
In a short time, the fight was getting heated up. Xue Zhan and the Black Cross Mask warriors were both trying to win, and they exchanged increasingly difficult and fast attacks. Xue Zhan continued to dodge every attack launched by his opponent and retaliated with other, more deadly attacks.
One by one the bodies lay under his feet. His hands were covered in blood as well as his clothes. Once again Xue Zhan decapitated the next opponent, the man's neck splashed out fresh red blood like a waterfall and hit the young man.
The fight continues fierce.
In that tense fight, Xue Zhan had almost lost his life.
Xue Zhan almost fell in the enemy circle when the big axe attack again came and hit his white mask and made his mask scratched on the cheek.
The Black Cross Mask Swordsman attacked Xue Zhan ferociously, setting up traps and trick attack techniques to confuse him. It was easy for Xue Zhan to manage to dodge and retaliate against the attack. His sword clang with the axe and sword of the enemy five enemies at once, making a loud and noisy sound.
Xue Zhan unleashed a series of swift and dangerous sword attacks, defeating his enemies one by one. He used the sword technique that Xiang Yi Bai had taught him and it was extremely powerful to outwit enemies and throw fatal attacks, rendering his opponents incapable of following his sword moves.
Despite this there were some extremely formidable enemies, even able to withstand Xue Zhan's attacks. They used powerful defensive techniques to even form formations, had incredible physical strength, and were able to counter Xue Zhan's attacks more ferociously.
Xue Zhan continued to fight despite having been injured and started to lose focus. He knew that one small mistake could kill him. He used the Seven Layers Waves technique to protect himself from enemy attacks, while constantly looking for loopholes to defeat them one by one.
The battle increasingly looked gripping, Xue Zhan continued to fight against the hundreds of Black Cross Mask warriors inexhaustibly swinging his sword and pulled out a stance that consumed a lot of profound energy. He had no intention of giving up on protecting the people in the harbor.
Xue Zhan closed his eyes for a moment, gathering strength to bring out a Heavenly Phoenix Book technique.
"The Book of Heavenly Phoenix - Lightning Phoenix Claw," he said firmly.
In an instant, six phoenix lights appeared around him, circling around before splitting into twelve other phoenixes that further magnified his attack power.
The Black Cross Mask warriors were surprised to see the attack and tried to dodge, but no one managed to escape the full force of the attack.
As the phoenixes landed, they unleashed an attack from their extremely powerful beaks. Dozens of men were helplessly sprawled, some with severe injuries all over his body. However, Xue Zhan was aware that this was not enough, there were still many enemies that survived in front of him.
With lightning speed, Xue Zhan took his sword and twisted his body, dodging the opponent's attacks and releasing his sword swing at every gap he found. The clangs of swords rang out around the battle circle, and several Black Cross Mask warriors retreated with severe injuries.
Xue Zhan again charged forward splitting the crowd of enemies, attacking quickly and relentlessly, making his enemies have to keep moving backwards to avoid him.
In a short period of time, Xue Zhan had managed to knock out thirty enemies and the Black Cross Mask warriors continued to be pushed back.
The chief of the city soldiers who witnessed it in the fort not far from the harbor were astonished to see the determined action of a young man who fought hundreds of Black Cross Mask warriors alone.
Xue Zhan's ability made him even more curious as to who exactly the young man was and where he came from.
The chief warrior of the city could not just stand by and watch the fight without doing anything. He feels responsible for maintaining the security of the city and its people and must act as soon as possible.
