Chapter 42: The Golden and Silver Flying Snake King

"Block them with your lives!" Man Xiao roared.

After such a hard-won opportunity, he absolutely did not want to let Tuoba Xiong go.

Tuoba Xiong had guarded the Southern Wasteland for nearly twenty years, preventing the strong from the Southern Wasteland from raiding the Warring States, making their lives even more miserable.

As the largest tribe in the Southern Wasteland, the Man tribe naturally hoped to break through the Southern Border defenses and raid the Warring States.

The main goal of the tribes in the Southern Wasteland was still to plunder resources, not particularly interested in the territories of the Warring States.

Tuoba Xiong was the greatest obstacle to the tribes of the Southern Wasteland. Only by killing Tuoba Xiong would it be much easier for them to break through the Southern Border defenses in the future.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed forward, charging at Tuoba Xiong and his men without regard for their lives.

Faced with the onslaught of a large number of strong opponents, Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie were filled with heroic spirit and laughed loudly: "Kill! A great and thorough battle!"

"Fight to the death!"

Tuoba Jie and Tuoba Xiong both used the Vajra Talisman and the Great Strength Talisman, greatly increasing their strength.

Tuoba Jie, a strong Eight-star Innate Martial God, reached the peak of the Nine-star Innate Martial God level after using the spirit talisman.

Tuoba Xiong's own strength had just crossed the threshold of the Nine-star Innate Martial God, equivalent to a First Stage Qi Refinement realm expert, though he did not know the cultivation methods beyond the Qi Refinement realm.

With the assistance of the two spirit talismans, his strength was comparable to that of a Second Stage Qi Refinement realm expert.

Tuoba Jie, with his precious saber in hand, swept through the crowd, displaying incredible prowess.

But Tuoba Xiong's attacks were even stronger, covering ten times the area of Tuoba Jie's. Each time he attacked, blood and flesh flew, and a large area was cleared.

The seventy-two Iron Blood Imperial Guards immediately followed, continuously advancing outward.

They basically did not attack, focusing mainly on protecting themselves and helping Tuoba Xiong and his men intercept attacks from behind and the sides.

The seventy-two Innate Martial Gods formed the Eight Wastelands Demon Slaying Formation, and their combat power was probably not inferior to Tuoba Xiong's. Their defense was naturally impenetrable.

With the help of the Iron Blood Imperial Guards in defense, Tuoba Jie and Tuoba Xiong went on a killing spree, determined to carve out a bloody path.

Their speed of advancement was very fast, and no matter how many strong opponents there were, they could not stop them.

Faced with the overwhelmingly powerful Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie, the Southern Wasteland army charged forward without fear of death, using their bodies to block their path.

Even Tuoba Xiong had some admiration for the Southern Wasteland army, but unfortunately, they were enemies, and he could not show mercy.

Man Xiao, seeing Tuoba Xiong's strength, was shocked: "I never thought that our pursuit and interception over this period would finally force him to break through. He is no longer a Nine-star Innate Martial God but an even stronger existence. We absolutely cannot let him leave alive, or the tribes of the Southern Wasteland will never be able to raid the Warring States for resources."

Without hesitation, he dispatched several hundred Innate Martial God-level experts: "We must hold back Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie, draining their essence."

Several hundred Innate Martial God-level experts gathered, creating a formidable presence. Among these Innate Martial Gods were figures from the three major families, though they did not directly send people to participate, fearing they would be caught in a vulnerable position.

They quickly charged forward, blocking Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie.

The simultaneous attack of several hundred Innate Martial God-level experts posed a significant threat to Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie, forcing them to switch from offense to defense to protect themselves.

Tuoba Ye had been hiding nearby and did not rush to act.

When he saw Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie both blocked, he had to reveal himself.

"Kill!" Tuoba Ye leaped out, his fist glowing with light, and cries of pain immediately echoed below.

"He must be Tuoba Ye! Block him!" Man Xiao shouted loudly.

Clearly, Tuoba Ye's information was well-known to Man Xiao. Seeing a child charge out, he immediately thought of Tuoba Ye.

And the rabbit, another obvious mark of Tuoba Ye, was known to everyone in the capital. Everyone knew that Tuoba Ye had a little rabbit that never left his side.

Tuoba Ye's identity was immediately exposed as soon as he appeared.

Man Xiao did not dare to underestimate this child, Tuoba Ye, and immediately dispatched over a dozen Innate Martial God-level experts to surround and attack him.

Tuoba Ye paid no attention, charging into the crowd, his fist and saber lights crisscrossing, sweeping through all opponents.

Wherever he went, bodies lay in rows, blood flowed in rivers, and the cries of pain were piercing, like a scene from hell.

To others, he was like a reincarnated demon god, a killing god.

Tuoba Xiong was already terrifying, but Tuoba Ye's killing was even more ruthless.

There was no way around it; Tuoba Ye's physical strength had reached eighty thousand pounds, making his combat power comparable to Tuoba Xiong's. Moreover, his essence cultivation was also not inferior.

In the past month, he had killed over a million venomous insects and countless fierce beasts, making his aura of slaughter extremely intense. Now, as he went on a killing spree, this aura of slaughter was released, directly causing many strong opponents to lose their fighting power.

The Southern Wasteland army, fearless of death, did not dare to approach Tuoba Ye, for he was too strong, and his aura of slaughter was too terrifying.

"Block him! Do not let him break through!" Man Xiao roared.

Over a dozen Innate Martial God-level experts quickly reached Tuoba Ye.

They each used their own methods, launching fierce attacks!

Because Tuoba Ye was too fierce, they did not dare to get too close, using saber lights and sword qi to attack.

Facing such attacks, Tuoba Ye paid no attention. With his greatly increased physical strength, his defense had also been enhanced. Sword qi and saber lights that approached him were immediately shattered, unable to harm him.

He quickly counterattacked, leaping close to the Innate Martial Gods and launching fierce attacks.

None of the Innate Martial Gods could withstand a single punch from Tuoba Ye, and they were all killed within a few breaths.

Tuoba Ye's speed was too fast, using his physical strength, simple and direct, and incredibly swift.

After killing those Innate Martial God-level experts, he continued his rampage.

Faced with the overwhelmingly powerful Tuoba Ye, Man Xiao had to dispatch dozens of Innate Martial God-level experts, reducing the pressure on Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie.

The dozens of Innate Martial God-level experts did not even get a chance to surround Tuoba Ye. He directly charged into the crowd, cutting through them like slicing through melons and vegetables.

Blood and flesh were everywhere, and blood splattered.

At first, Tuoba Ye was still rational, but gradually his eyes turned red, and he became more and more excited as he killed.

The rabbit did not want to get blood on itself and had long since hidden away to sleep.

The dozens of Innate Martial God-level experts only blocked Tuoba Ye for a short while before being completely killed by him.

His speed of killing was even faster than Tuoba Xiong's. Of course, Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie were also not inferior, and they had also killed many Innate Martial God-level experts.

The strength of the Southern Wasteland army was continuously weakening, and if the stalemate continued, the Southern Wasteland army might not be able to hold out.

"General Man Xiao, we must quickly take down Tuoba Xiong or Tuoba Ye. Otherwise, they will soon open a path and escape. Such an opportunity for a full encirclement is too rare, and it may be impossible to form such an encirclement again."

"Poison Master, Beast Master, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to personally take action!" Man Xiao said, showing great respect to the two black-clothed figures behind him.

Up to this point, the two black-clothed figures had shown no expression, not even looking at the fierce battle, and had been meditating.

Only when Man Xiao spoke to them did they open their eyes, which were sharp like knives.

"Leave it to us!" one of the black-clothed figures said, his voice hoarse and chilling.

"Poison Master, you will deal with Tuoba Xiong; he must not leave alive. Beast Master, please contain Tuoba Ye and prevent him from causing further significant casualties," Man Xiao said.

The two black-clothed figures did not say more and directly charged forward. They were very powerful, and with their special abilities, even Man Xiao treated them with great respect.

Poison Master was skilled in controlling venomous insects. The venomous insects he raised were extremely toxic, making him the foremost expert in controlling venomous insects in the Southern Wasteland.

Beast Master was skilled in controlling fierce beasts. He could simultaneously control thirty-six Innate Martial God-level magical beasts, all of which were highly intelligent, not like the low-intelligence fierce beasts.

Poison Master quickly advanced, and no one saw his venomous insects.

Beast Master did not walk far before powerful magical beasts appeared beside him. These magical beasts roared to the sky, opening their blood-red mouths, looking terrifying.

Beast Master led over thirty Innate Martial God-level magical beasts toward Tuoba Ye.

Tuoba Ye was not afraid of these magical beasts or the black-clothed figure. He noticed the other black-clothed figure heading toward Tuoba Xiong.

The black-clothed figure without the magical beasts and without visible venomous insects made Tuoba Ye even more uneasy.

However, the magical beasts controlled by Beast Master arrived and began to surround and attack Tuoba Ye.

These magical beasts were truly formidable, knowing how to coordinate with each other. Every time Tuoba Ye tried to kill one, several magical beasts would attack him.

These magical beasts were powerful, and more terrifyingly, they had sharp teeth and beaks. If bitten, Tuoba Ye was not absolutely confident he could withstand it.

Therefore, Tuoba Ye was more cautious, trying to kill the magical beasts without injuring himself.

Although it was a bit slower, it was safer.

Beast Master watched his magical beasts fall one by one, feeling immense pain.

But to hold back Tuoba Ye, he had to sacrifice the magical beasts he had painstakingly tamed.

Tuoba Ye was temporarily entangled by the magical beasts and had no time to worry about the other black-clothed figure.

Poison Master quickly approached Tuoba Xiong, who was cutting through the crowd, dealing with the Innate Martial God-level experts and not noticing Poison Master in the crowd.

Poison Master did not look at Tuoba Xiong, afraid of drawing his attention.

From his sleeve, two very thin snakes, one golden and one silver, flew out. They were about the same size, and they had wings, allowing them to fly.

"Golden and Silver Flying Snake Kings, it all depends on you this time!" Poison Master smiled coldly.

These golden and silver snakes were cultivated by Poison Master over several decades. They were not only extremely toxic but could also fly, with incredible speed, making them the perfect means for a surprise attack on a strong opponent.

The Golden and Silver Flying Snake Kings moved at incredible speed, shooting out like two thin lines, flashing past and heading straight for Tuoba Xiong.

Tuoba Ye was on guard, but he did not notice the Golden and Silver Flying Snake Kings. These snakes could ignore essence defenses and directly bite Tuoba Xiong.
