Chapter 1122: Ancient Style Strategy

Representatives from the various major forces present were well aware that the Pegasus Battle Group, a subordinate of the Glory Battle Group, had become a vassal of the Ghost Hand Battle Group a century ago. They had long pledged their loyalty to Xu Yang, essentially making them staunch supporters of the Glory Battle Group.

The Ancient Wind Battle Group, in contrast, had always been supported by Emperor Soul. While nominally referred to as brothers-in-arms, they were, in fact, Emperor Soul's lackeys. Any unsavory dealings Emperor Soul found inconvenient to handle directly would ultimately be attributed to the Ancient Wind Battle Group, who always readily accepted this role, willing to be Emperor Soul's pawns.

Naturally, the Ancient Wind Battle Group had frequently abused their power, riding on Emperor Soul's coattails.

This time, given the overt and covert rivalry, the Pegasus Battle Group, not wanting to lose face, directly dispatched their premier combat unit, the Meteor Battle Team, led by the son of their leader.

The Ancient Wind Battle Group was even more decisive, with their leader, Gu Fengce, personally leading his five disciples into battle.

When the two battle teams assembled at the center of the battlefield, the scene erupted in cheers. Although it was only the first match of the opening ceremony, the excitement had already reached its peak.

This was a scene even Xu Yang had not anticipated. It was clear that the battle groups from various factions loved a good show, no matter how big the commotion.

Finally, as the war drums boomed, signaling the start of the battle, a furious gale swept through. The two battle groups initiated a wave of frenzied confrontation.

Rumble!

The Meteor Battle Team immediately unleashed a flurry of combined attacks. The powerful aura generated by their fists almost overturned the entire core area of the battlefield. Chaos reigned everywhere, with various spiritual energies surging wildly.

Such a display was already quite terrifying in the eyes of outsiders.

However, this time, the Meteor Battle Team was not facing ordinary mortals. The raw power of Gu Fengce's master-and-disciple group was also formidable.

In just a single encounter, Gu Fengce summoned a magical artifact of unknown type. It suddenly expanded wildly before everyone's eyes without warning, enveloping all members of both battle teams.

Those outside could not perceive the specific details of the confrontation within.

However, just as all members of the Meteor Battle Team lost their sight and darkness descended, they saw six chilling blood-red pupils burning brightly.

“Darkness descends, the time for hunting has arrived!”

In that instant, an immense sense of dread immediately enveloped them.

A frantic silence enveloped all restless energies, as if the entire world had fallen into dead stillness.

“No good, danger! Everyone, be on guard!!”

The young master of the Meteor Battle Team cried out frantically. Unfortunately, he realized that due to the changes in the surrounding space, his voice could not even be transmitted.

Finally, a blood-red sharpness obliterated everything without warning. At the same moment, Leader Xu Yang gently shook his head, the sharpness in his eyes intensifying.

“This is pure deception,” Xu Yang said. “The Ancient Wind Battle Team is merely Emperor Soul's dog. The techniques they use are Emperor Soul's most brutal killing methods. One could say this faction is Emperor Soul's exclusive killing machine, built for their service. Those few from Meteor have already been obliterated.”

After Xu Yang's voice echoed, his teammates around him showed expressions of extreme shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

“No way? Leader, the Meteor Battle Team should be very strong. There’s no reason for them to be obliterated so easily!”

Xu Yang listened to Gugelasi's words and sneered, “No matter how powerful a battle team is, if their five senses are blocked and they lose all spatial perception, they will have no combat ability whatsoever.”

In fact, Xu Yang had already understood the outcome of this battle the moment the opponent released that special artifact.

Unfortunately, the Glory Battle Group could not immediately turn hostile in such a situation. Otherwise, Xu Yang would have obliterated all those individuals without hesitation.

Indeed, when the special artifact returned to Gu Fengce’s hand, all six members of the Meteor Battle Team, including their young master, had been reduced to bones.

“No!!”

The elderly leader of the Pegasus Battle Group utterly collapsed. He could not believe that the scene before him was real. Without hesitation, he soared into the sky with several of his chief generals, charging towards Gu Fengce and the others who had dealt the fatal blow.

“You bastard, I will avenge my child and my brothers!”

Unfortunately, no matter how hysterical the elder became, rules were rules. Once on this battlefield, no outsider was allowed to interfere!

Before his power could descend, the Slaughter Heavenly King, one of Emperor Soul Battle Group's Eight Heavenly Kings, flew out smoothly. In front of everyone, he directly slaughtered the core representative of the Pegasus Battle Group.

“This is a battlefield. Since the rules have been established, no one can break them! Those who cannot afford to lose are even less qualified to live in this world!”

After achieving his objective, the Slaughter Heavenly King deliberately spoke these words, then licked the sharp dagger in his hand.

Little did he know that his actions had completely enraged the core members of Xu Yang’s Glorious Dragon Cavalry Battle Team.

“Leader, let us enter the arena. It’s time to show the might of our Glorious Dragon Knight Battle Team, and we can also avenge the recently fallen Pegasus Battle Group!”

Gugelasi could no longer suppress his anger. He wanted to rush forward immediately and teach these guys a lesson. This time, however, Xu Yang did not stop him; he simply nodded gently in front of everyone.

“Alright, it’s also time for you to gain some experience.”

The moment his words fell, Gugelasi leaped directly into the air, joining the battlefield and confronting Gu Fengce and his five disciples.

“Oh? Aren’t you that fellow from the Glory Battle Group? Are you planning to take us on by yourself?”

Gugelasi said nothing. With icy eyes, he steadily advanced towards these individuals, confronting them head-on.

“I will avenge them. None of you will leave here alive!”

As his words fell, Gugelasi let out a hysterical roar. Immediately after, a huge wine barrel appeared out of thin air before him, and he began to gulp down its contents.

When he had drunk more than half the barrel, he let out a burp, and his complexion began to change.

It was at this moment that Leader Xu Yang and the others from the Glory Battle Group exchanged knowing smiles.

Next, Gugelasi emitted an incredibly dense aura of slaughter, and his entire being plunged into a frenzy!

Then, he directly locked onto Gu Fengce’s aura, and his body transformed into a phantom-like streak of light, diving down.

“No good, danger!”

Gu Fengce was incredibly perceptive, immediately noticing that something was wrong. The aura of slaughter emanating from Gugelasi was so intense that he could not withstand it.
