Dekubu Shang, clinging to his last breath, glared intensely and managed to ask with difficulty, "You... why didn't you keep your word?"
Xiong Kaishan locked eyes with him, then suddenly—thwack—he drove his broadsword into the ground, slamming Dekubu Shang's mangled body hard against a massive boulder. Flesh and blood instantly splattered everywhere. Then he raised the blade again, bringing the flat side down repeatedly, smashing down dozens of times, all the while roaring curses: "When was I not keeping my word? Isn't this me keeping my word with you! Isn't this a one-on-one duel? Keeping my word! Keeping my word! To hell with your word! To hell with your grandmother's word! To hell with your entire family's word!"
After striking dozens of times with the back of the blade, this honor-abiding alien was completely reduced to a pulp. Xiong Kaishan spat contemptuously, grumbling, "Did you think I was actually brain-damaged enough to keep faith with scum like you? Screw your ancestors! Did you think I was an idiot? Bah..."
"My King is mighty!" Several Bear Clan warriors watched their shameless king with genuine admiration, offering insincere praise.
"What are you yelling about? Get back to the killing! What the hell is keeping your word? To bring up some damned honor with the enemy on the battlefield—the heads of these two-headed freaks are truly..." Xiong Kaishan rolled his eyes and cursed, "This guy must have fallen down when he was in his mother's womb, and more than once at that, otherwise, he wouldn't be this brainless! This is congenital idiocy, damn it, what a specimen!" The Bear Clan warriors, momentarily stunned, dragged their blades and rushed toward the other section of the battlefield.
Xiong Kaishan let out two triumphant laughs, only to freeze dead in his tracks.
Because he clearly heard the furious curses from the other battlefield section: "Did your mother fall down when she was carrying you?" And incredibly, one of the aliens actually replied dazedly, "What?"
"What your grandpa! Look at this idiot, he really must have fallen..." followed by a string of screams...
Xiong Kaishan's face darkened with frustration...
It seemed that in just a short while, the entire battlefield had transformed into a stage for the Bear Clan warriors to unleash their booming sonic waves. Everywhere echoed with mighty roars, the only regrettable aspect being the monotonous lyrics, all revolving around one theme: "Did your mother fall down?"
And every shouted question was accompanied by a fierce downward slash or horizontal cleave, followed immediately by unending cries of agony.
As time went on, it devolved even further...
"Did you fall down?"
"Fall down?"
"Fall?"...
The Bear Clan warriors cursed with wild abandon, fighting with soaring morale and swagger. Their king was indeed a king! That insult was both satisfying and cathartic. Fighting this way, they seemed to have elevated their fighting strength by several levels out of sheer exhilaration!
It felt incredible!
It felt truly exhilarating!
Swish! The Eagle King flapped his iron wings, shedding the blood clinging to them, and arrived beside Xiong Kaishan. While slicing down five or six aliens with a single sweep, he asked curiously, "Fourth Brother, what did you just say? What about falling down? What does it even mean? I still can't figure it out!"
"Fall dead, you fool's head! Get lost!" Xiong Kaishan felt no joy or pride whatsoever. Those guys from his own clan were bringing shame upon him. He had no idea which young pup spread that crude phrase, but it spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand, and a thousand to three thousand. If it had been something good, fine, but this was something that damaged his wise and mighty image!
It utterly ruined this King's reputation! He would certainly impose severe punishment after the battle! But then again, his brother-in-law’s curse contained absolutely no vulgar words... something worth emulating...
While brooding, he heard the Eagle King approaching to join the gossip. How could Xiong Kaishan show him a pleasant face? Hearing the question, he shot the Eagle King a fierce glare, twisted his body away from the gossiping fellow, and rushed forward, howling and gesturing wildly with his hands while slaughtering the enemy...
"Huh? What did I do to you? Why is he cursing me too? What terrible luck!" The Eagle King was momentarily stunned, cursed with a mixture of amusement and frustration, then followed along to join the slaughter!
The number of aliens killed—about thirty to forty thousand heads—was certainly high, but the actual combat power of the Heaven's Punishment warriors was undoubtedly several notches above their opponents! Under the combined efforts and desperate fighting of the Eagle and Bear Clans, the total number of aliens was rapidly and continuously dwindling!
Like hot soup melting snow, like the scorching sun dissolving ice!
However, after merely a quarter of an hour of contact, hundreds of soldiers in the Heaven's Punishment allied forces began sustaining injuries, with dozens severely wounded and forced to consume Revival Pills to restore their state and energy.
And then they resumed fighting!
The efficacy of the Revival Pill was truly exceptional. Regardless of the injury or exhaustion, as long as a breath remained, consuming one pill could restore them to peak condition within ten breaths, with absolutely no side effects. Such a divine medicine was truly rare and unheard of. If one had to name a flaw in this medicine, it was only the prolonged consumption cycle.
Over the span of one month, only one pill could be taken. During this period, repeated consumption would not yield diminished results; it would yield no results at all! They had to wait for the necessary month for the body to complete its minor cycle and completely purge all medicinal influence before a second pill could take effect again.
This was precisely what Young Master Jun felt was the drug's only imperfection. Otherwise, if every high-ranking warrior were equipped with a hundred such pills, wouldn't they be able to fight endlessly in rotation? Wouldn't the Battle for Heaven's Seizure be without suspense? What problems on heaven and earth would remain unsolved?!
But in reality, such good fortune did not exist! Even the most miraculous divine medicine was bound to have its limitations!
Currently on the battlefield, only a few thousand aliens remained, stubbornly resisting. Over ninety percent of their forces had perished under the cleavers of the Eagle-Bear allied army, reduced to mud on the ground!
"Kill! The Battle of Divine Sun aims to seize Heaven! The Profound Profound Continent will ultimately belong to the Divine Sun Clan!" A high, terrifying voice suddenly echoed across the battlefield, and a wind-swift figure rapidly appeared above the fray!
This voice was chillingly terrifying, its tone seemingly laced with some peculiar rhythm—it was the Supreme Heaven Shin, the alien leader who had spoken earlier, who had just arrived!
And the frenzy of the aliens was precisely due to every word spoken by this individual! This person held supreme authority throughout this entire area occupied by the aliens!
Following this great shout, the alien leader swiftly dove toward the ground. Before his feet even touched down, the gleam of his blade preceded him, sweeping across the void like an immense rainbow descending. Several Bear Clan warriors let out long screams—they had already been struck by this single blade attack!
At a distance of over ten zhang (about 33 meters), he had severely wounded Saints merely with the force of his blade aura! This level of cultivation clearly indicated the newcomer had reached the Saint Venerable tier!
Immediately afterward, twelve more figures appeared in the sky. In a flash, they descended with menacing grins, like demonic gods, plummeting toward the ground! In their hands, cold light shimmered fiercely—these were Shin Blades, just like bloodthirsty devils baring their sharp fangs!
The Shin Blade represented slaughter! It represented destruction!
If they were allowed to land, the warriors of the Heaven's Punishment Eagle and Bear Clans would certainly face a devastating strike! The power of one person might not be enough to completely reverse the current battle situation, but if thirteen Saint Venerable masters joined forces in an assault, it was absolutely enough to flip the script!
What's more, even setting aside these thirteen supreme experts, hundreds of Mad Blade Earth Shin were about to arrive on the battlefield!
At this moment, the balance of power between the Heaven's Punishment side and the alien strength clearly looked insufficient!
But the arrival time for the second wave of reinforcements was still nearly three hours away! More tragically, during this period, the alien forces would undoubtedly continue to reinforce their lines frantically!
Even setting aside future concerns, looking only at the immediate crisis, the battle that the Eagle-Bear allied forces were about to face had reached a critical, hair-trigger moment!
"Heaven's Punishment Eternal!" Just then, a Bear Clan warrior who had previously consumed a Revival Pill leaped up, reverting to his original form in mid-air. Baring his teeth fiercely, he roared and unleashed his ultimate strength, cleaving fiercely toward the Supreme Heaven Shin who was about to land in the sky!
The Supreme Heaven Shin coldly sneered, his feminine voice dismissive: "A tiny speck of dust dares to emit light!" He swung his blade neither quickly nor slowly. With a clang, the Bear warrior's longsword flew out of his grasp, disintegrating into iron filings in the air!
But the Bear warrior had clearly prepared to fight to the death. Upon leaping up, he had exerted his full strength. In the clash, though his longsword was lost, his massive body maintained its forward momentum! The massive bear head, having reverted, snarled and reached out with its fan-like paws to grapple the Supreme Heaven Shin in the air!
Swish, swish, swish—three swift slashes passed. The Bear warrior’s stout body lost a thick arm and his right leg, blood spurting wildly.
But he still howled, desperately closing in on the Supreme Heaven Shin!
Then!
"Heaven's Punishment!" the Bear warrior roared almost hysterically. The single remaining left paw grasped the longsword plunged into his chest, and with a wild laugh, his entire body violently exploded!
Instantly turning into a sky full of meat scraps!
Such a violent explosion instantly cleared the area spanning dozens of zhang, and many aliens who couldn't dodge were severely wounded just by being hit by the flesh debris. The Supreme Heaven Shin, positioned at the explosion's core, let out an annoyed grunt; his body, still suspended in the air, bucked uncontrollably, sent flying violently backward by the intense shockwave of the blast!
This Supreme Heaven Shin had achieved the Saint Venerable cultivation level! The self-detonation of a Saint-level master could certainly cause him great embarrassment, but it was unlikely to inflict actual harm!
But the mere time gained by this explosion forcing him to retreat—that short moment—was enough to cause the entire battle to veer off its original course, sailing toward an utterly unpredictable situation.
