Chapter 019: The Blood-Red Monster

At that moment, a green light suddenly shot down from the sky!
That green light wasn’t only extremely fast—it could also teleport!
With two consecutive movements, just as Alaswan was about to attack Naixiu, the green light suddenly appeared between her and Alaswan in time to block the attack.
At that point, Alaswan was only twenty meters away from Naixiu!
The green light that suddenly appeared was Du Fan!
Seeing Naixiu about to be exposed to Alaswan’s attack, Du Fan quickly rushed ahead and blocked it!
This time, not only did Du Fan fly out, but under the force of his impact and the counterforce from his absolute protection field, Alaswan was also sent flying dozens of meters away!
But in Alaswan’s eyes, being sent flying meant he had been attacked by Du Fan!
Alaswan, now stabilized in the air, roared furiously!
He could hardly believe that he, in the lower world, had been sent flying by a human!
These beings, who in his eyes were barely better than ants, had actually knocked him aside!
As for the injury to his arm caused by Naixiu’s arrow earlier, Alaswan could still somewhat justify it—after all, Naixiu had relied on the power of a divine weapon!
But this time, he had been sent flying purely by Du Fan’s own strength!
“Unforgivable!” Alaswan, now stabilized in the air, screamed in rage. “Destruction! You will all be destroyed!”
As Alaswan uttered these words like a muttered curse, his body began to grow larger and larger.
With the anger of this messenger of Alaswan growing, his aura grew more and more intense. Soon, the aura of this messenger of Alaswan became overwhelming!
This time, Alaswan displayed the pure power of a mid-tier god!
Unlike the true gods before, and unlike the sun god’s power as a lower-tier god during that time in the Divine Ruins, his true strength was fully revealed!
Karu, although he had merged with the divine essence of a mid-tier god, was still only at an advanced stage of a lower-tier god when he died!
This time, as Alaswan who had been summoned, he didn’t have to worry about the consequences of using divine power, as it would immediately be reported to the divine realm!

Once the full power of such a mid-tier god was unleashed, immediately, all 300,000 people below—whether ordinary soldiers or domain experts—felt as if they were nothing but a tiny boat adrift in an endless ocean! A mere small wave from that ocean could drown that boat instantly. As everyone, including the armies of the Gavin Empire, felt suffocated, Alaswan, who was continuously unleashing his power, suddenly showed a strange expression. “I really hate this, but the time has come,” Alaswan said. As soon as those words were spoken, Alaswan turned into a shining white light, and as if pulled by an immense force from the sky, he was drawn upward! In an instant, that white light disappeared, along with Alaswan himself. Seeing Alaswan vanish, Du Fan breathed a sigh of relief! “Fisher! That’s all your tricks, right? Now, face your death!” Du Fan transformed into a green light and attacked Fisher! Seeing Du Fan’s fierce onslaught, the seven red-clothed archbishops all shouted at the same time. White lights emanated from their bodies and quickly connected together, forming a huge barrier around Fisher and the seven archbishops! Du Fan struck the barrier fiercely, but it only wobbled slightly before returning to its stability. “Haha, Du Fan, if you want to kill me, wait until you break this sacred light barrier!” Fisher laughed loudly as he watched Du Fan persistently attacking the barrier. The magic conjured by those seven domain experts, who were skilled in defense and belonged to the Light faction, was beyond Du Fan’s ability to break! At that moment, Naixiu once again drew her long arrow and aimed it at the red-clothed archbishop with snow-white hair and beard! … Below, the armies clashed— the Holy Light Knights were already fighting against the heavy cavalry of the Northern Legion! Indeed, the Holy Light Knights lived up to their reputation; even with the support of Moses and Allen, two powerful warriors from the Northern Legion, Moses’s war domain could assist tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield! Yet, there was still a significant gap between the two sides!

Half an hour had passed! Although the heavy cavalry of the Northern Legion hadn’t taken a single step back, piles of corpses had accumulated at their feet!
Though they had managed to hold off the attacks of the Sacred Light Knights, the Northern Legion also suffered heavy losses!
After Du Fan killed the leader of the Sacred Light Knights along with his deputy, the knights harbored hatred toward the heavy cavalry of the Northern Legion.
Driven by this hatred, they fought with extreme brutality!
As the Sacred Light Knights continued to push forward, along with the nearly 30,000 cavalry from the Third Guard Corps, the total number of troops surrounding the Northern Legion now reached 50,000!
“Second brother! Go replace Uncle Carol! Let Uncle Carol command the troops!” Du Fan shouted loudly.
“Okay!” Allen, who was fiercely fighting at that moment, heard Du Fan’s call and immediately retracted his armored beast, took off, and headed straight for the Green Dragon Army!
Soon, Carol, who had been replaced by Allen, stayed in the central command tent.
Given command of the battlefield by Du Fan, Carol immediately took charge.
Quickly, 20,000 spearmen moved to the front, positioning themselves on both sides of the heavy cavalry and relentlessly attacking the cavalry of the Third Guard Corps!
…
It was again that strange red-and-green long arrow. After shooting at the red-robed archbishop with snow-white beard and hair, the arrow struck the light barrier, causing it to emit intense brilliance. This brilliance kept changing vividly. Soon, it converged into one point—the spot where Nayixiu’s arrow had hit the barrier!
The energy of the light barriers around it gradually faded, but the area touched by the arrow emitted intense light.
It seemed as though Nayixiu’s attack had drawn all the other light energies toward it. By the time her arrow disappeared, the energy of the light barrier was completely exhausted!
The seven Archbishops of the Domain all snorted in unison, spitting out blood.
Soon, a milky-white liquid appeared in each of their hands.
After drinking it, the previously pale faces of the archbishops gradually regained their red hue.

However, Fisher, now without the protection of the shield, was completely exposed to Du Fan’s attacks. Swinging his Thunder Sword, Du Fan brought it down fiercely at Fisher! As it swung, the Thunder Sword seemed to be wrapped in countless stars—as if it were carrying a sky full of stars as it struck Fisher! Seeing Du Fan charging at him with those stars, Fisher smiled slightly. With a twist of his wrist, a blood-red long sword appeared in his hand. Leaping forward, he used the sword to confront Du Fan. The moment the blood-red sword moved, the entire sky turned blood red. This crimson hue matched Du Fan’s forceful attack like a storm of stars, and it was by no means at a disadvantage. The sword in Fisher’s hand was the Blood Sword given to him by their ancestor! Just as the blood-red light met Du Fan’s Thunder Sword, it suddenly tore apart, and from within the light emerged a monster covered in blood! This monster had two horns pointing straight upward, and its thick legs ended in hoof-like feet. It stood nearly three meters tall! After appearing, it let out a loud roar and swung its sharp claws at Du Fan!
…
“Colonel William, we are only ten miles away from the Northern Army. The front of the Northern Army is currently blocked by the main forces of the Third Army and the Sacred Light Knights. There’s the Green Dragon Army to the east and the Black Snake Army to the west. Colonel William, what do you think? Should we attack from that direction?” Alva suddenly asked.
“From the side of the Black Snake Army,” William replied without hesitation.
“Okay, I’ll handle it right away!” Hearing William’s answer, Alva agreed immediately.
“William, why attack from the side of the Black Snake Army?” Feya asked in confusion.
“I know what you mean. The Black Snake Army is already fighting—what’s the point of joining them?” William smiled.
“If we attack from their side, it will undoubtedly give them an extra boost. Moreover, with the advantage of our elite shock troops, we can quickly create a gap in the Northern Army fighting against them. From that gap, we can expand it further and completely crush the forces blocking the Black Snake Army!”

“After achieving such a goal, the Black Army took the opportunity to invade the heart of the Black Snake Army. This way, it’s possible to disrupt the entire Northern Legion.”
“The enemy is in chaos, but we remain calm. In this way, the initiative in the war falls into our hands,” William said with a smile.
“Moreover, Faya, we currently have only five thousand warriors. If we attack from other directions without relying on other armies, those five thousand warriors will likely be easily stopped and surrounded by the Northern Legion!” William frowned.
Hearing William’s words, Faya’s frown indeed disappeared.
A distance of ten miles was quickly covered by these entirely cavalry forces.
To the left of the Black Snake Army, this force of just five thousand men pressed closely against them and launched a fierce attack on George’s army of twenty thousand!
The five hundred stealth assassins! Just as their name suggested! They were like sharp thorns, piercing deep into the heart of the twenty-thousand-strong Northern Legion!
These five hundred stealth assassins were all fearless warriors, each with a cultivation level of three or higher. With their violent killing intent, this elite force rushed into George’s army, quickly triggering a chain reaction!
Led by these five hundred elite soldiers, the remaining five thousand cavalry easily broke through the defensive lines set up by the Northern Legion in the west. It seemed they were aiming to attack the Northern Legion’s central forces!
This sudden move even caught Carol off guard!
