Chapter 1201: Swords and Bows Drawn, Fully Prepared for War!

In that moment, Gu Han had, for some reason, begun to suddenly miss Young Master Jun.
Jun Mo Xie had disappeared at this extremely crucial timing, missing the meet of the peak experts of the two sides. Naturally, he also didn’t make it to hear the ‘prophecy’ made 10,000 years ago, as well as that arrogant explanation by the strange races!
This was actually quite an understandable matter. In these few days, Young Master Jun had truly been quite exhausted! Before this, he had faced a lightning tribulation! And it was an extremely huge lightning tribulation that lasted for three days and three nights!
Even if he had his strange methods to perfectly handle the lightning tribulation, he still needed to focus on the task, not daring to be careless in the slightest. If even a few bolts of lightning got past him, it would result in the deaths of many! After three full days of concentration, he naturally ran off to find a place to rest first!
If Jun Mo Xie had been present when Chuangshang Beidao came, what would he do? With his personality, he certainly wouldn’t let that strange races fellow leave after gaining an advantage right?
At the very least, he wouldn’t let him leave in such a carefree manner.
Gu Han believed that with Jun Mo Xie’s poisonous tongue that was unrivalled under the heavens, even if he couldn’t beat this fellow up until he spat out blood and escaped, he would at least anger the latter so much that he would vomit out a mouthful of blood!
No matter what, he would still have to vomit blood before leaving.
As this thought fleeted through his head, Gu Han could not help but smile lightly. His mood that had been at the bottom of the abyss also began to rise.
Jun Mo Xie had always been a person that could bring about miracles. Right now, we’re at least standing on the same side. I hope that he can once again create a miracle, bringing us out of this inescapable nightmare!
As soon as Chuangshang Beidao left, Mei Xue Yan similarly sensed that the strange races’s forces would probably follow soon, and she also began to make the preparations!
After Jun Mo Xie once again upgraded the strength of his people once more with great costs, the strength of Tian Fa Forest and Evil Monarch Manor had reached a thoroughly new peak!
As the Saint Venerable realm had high requirements for aptitude and cultivation, less than 20 people managed to barely squeezed into that realm. As for Saint Monarch, only Mei Xue Yan managed to reach it. However, she broke all the way to the Second level of Saint Monarch in one go, and she was not far off from a Third level Saint Monarch like Gu Han. The most amazing thing was that in the last 10,000 years, no Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa had ever managed to reach the Saint Monarch realm, making Mei Xue Yan truly the first Saint Monarch and number one expert of all the Xuan Beasts!
That was the peak military strength; although it was rather shocking, it was still not to the point of being horrifying. The truly astonishing numbers belonged to the middle to high level military strength...
All of the Tian Fa Xuan Beasts and Evil Monarch Manor experts who came this time had reached the Saint Emperor realm!
There were no exceptions. Every single one!
Even Tian Can and Di Que who began with the weakest Xuan Cultivation had also risen all the way to the Saint Emperor realm. And not only that, they’d relied on their astonishing willpower and their transformed physiques to jump all the way to the Third level of Saint Emperor!
This kind of ascension speed was truly unprecedented in history!
Naturally, the shocking improvement speed of the two also came with a huge price! After all, they were not like Jun Mo Xie who had countless magical means.
Throughout the entire process, Mei Xue Yan had sat beside the two, using her own Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune’s spiritual qi to continuously mend their meridians and bodies. Even with that, the two had walked along the thin line between life and death countless times, tethering just on the edge of their bodies exploding!
So although their improvement had been horrifying, quite a considerable amount of hidden injuries had been left behind in their bodies. Before their cultivation and their comprehension reached an appropriate level, they would not be able to advance any further.
That would be an extremely slow and long process and required the appropriate fortuitous encounters as well!
However right now, they were true Third level Saint Emperors! This was a level that 99 percent of the people in this world would never reach even in their dreams! It was like ascending to the heavens in one stroke!
The most remarkable thing about this was that the two of them who’d gained incredibly shocking power actually still showed no emotion on their faces. Apart from the bit of excitement that flickered across their eyes for a moment, there were no other changes.
They even used most of their resting time to familiarize themselves with their newfound powers and practice their techniques, striving to get used to their strength as soon as possible.
Even the Xuan Beasts that’d lived for several hundred years were not able to match this level of mental strength.
This was the quality that Jun Mo Xie had discovered back then at first glance—an ability to be completely undisturbed either by favour or disgrace!
Unmoved though the mountains may collapse and crumble, indifferent even in the face of life or death.
This was a natural born quality that belonged only to the best assassins!
Around half a day after Chuangshang Beidao left, Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao, these two newly advanced Saint Venerables, came to look for Mei Xue Yan, bringing along the now Saint Emperor assassins and then disappearing into the trees.
They would look for the best spots for assassinations and prepare for the upcoming grand battle!
After Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun obtained the approval of Mei Xue Yan, they also led the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer troops away, advancing 800 li and hiding themselves among the rubble of the fallen Pillar of Heavens Mountains. They would be the hidden sharp blade that could affect the battle with the greatest effect at any moment!
At the same time, Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun both had the same thought. This entire war ix under the personal direction of Jun Mo Xie! The glorious name of the Evil Monarch must not be trampled into the ground because of them!
Whether it was the Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa or the elite assassins group of Evil Monarch Manor, only the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer troops were the original forces of the Jun Family, belonging to Jun Mo Xie alone! And they, as the force that represents the Jun Family, should show their worth in the most dangerous situations! Compared to the brothers of Tian Fa, if death should come, it should be them who sacrificed their lives first! It should be the people of the Evil Monarch Manor to die before others! They were determined to not let their own brothers act as the cannon fodder for them!
Jun Mo Xie was not here right now, but the two of them believed that if Jun Mo Xie was here, he would not hesitate to make the same choice!
That was how comrades were truly supposed to be in a battle! Only when you were fully prepared to block a spear for your comrade, would they be willing to risk their own lives for you!
If people behaved selfishly in a battle, only caring about saving themselves, then without a question, that person would die the quickest!
Because no one would feel that it was worth it to save a person like that with their own lives!
An army was only as strong as its weakest link, and when everyone fully relied on and trusted each other with their lives, it would be truly terrifying!
This decision by Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun had completed the final arrangement of the entire army!
Mei Xue Yan understood their thoughts, and although she was worried, she did not stop them. At this time, anybody could end up having to sacrifice themselves. She could only consider everything in view of the big picture.
Even if they had to sacrifice, she had to look at whose sacrifice it was, and what kind of sacrifice had the most value!
This value did not refer only to how many enemies one killed or injured. There were also the factors of inspiring and rousing the battling emotions of their own army!
And the personal troops of the Evil Monarch Manor was undoubtedly the most suitable choice for this point!
So after Mei Xue Yan agreed to Solitary Eagle’s request, Tiger King Earth Cracker, who was beside her, requested to take 3,000 of his most elite warriors from the Tiger Tribe, forming the second wave and pushing forward to the frontline!
Mei Xue Yan nodded her head, her expression as calm as water. However, her heart trembled uncontrollably.
With her intelligence, how could she not understand? Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun had chosen the position where they were most likely to be sacrificed, and Tiger King had also made a similarly innocent request. Even if all 3,00 of his Tiger Tribe warriors, including himself, self detonated and all of them died, they would still do their best to ensure the safe return of Solitary Eagle and their other brothers of the Evil Monarch Manor!
Since you can disregard your life for me, I will also do the same for you!
Although you belong to the Evil Monarch Manor, and I belong to Tian Fa, although we are Xuan Beasts and you are humans!
In this moment, we are brothers who will share life and death!
I can completely trust my back to you!
The other Tian Fa Beast Kings also grasped the limited choices they had right now, urging their subordinates to focus on training, to align their abilities and their new cultivation strength as quickly as possible.
Crane King constantly ordered the flying Xuan Beasts under his command to fly into the sky together and land together. At the same time, his sharp eyes watched the long defensive frontline.
On the ground, there were still many large groups of flying Xuan Beasts constantly maintaining the position of taking off. Countless stalwart Tian Fa Xuan Beast warriors were already seated on their backs! With just a single command, they would instantly take into the sky and rush to their positions, before one could even blink!
On the side of the three Holy Lands, everyone was calming their hearts, adjusting themselves to a peak state.
Gu Han only had one request. We must not let the Tian Fa side look down on our Holy Lands! Even if all of us die today, we must protect the dignity of the Holy Lands! Or perhaps, this is the last shred of dignity for us, the experts of the Holy Lands!
It was this last sentence that thoroughly roused the will of the Holy Lands experts to fight to the death!
The entire battlefield sank into a moment of heavy silence!
The air was stifling, and everyone’s hands were resting on the hilt of their sword!
The entire army was ready to fight!
Big Bear had also said, with tears running all over his face: Before Little Eagle died, he told me very seriously, about the main weakness of the strange races. They are not adept at large scale chaotic battles! Once they entered their stealth state, the strange races’ defensive abilities will drop to the lowest possible point. He said that I must pass this discovery to Elder sister and Brother-in-law!
And this piece of news was indeed highly valued by Mei Xue Yan.
