Chapter 2752 - A Startling Battle
Chapter 2752: A Startling Battle
Getti’s face suddenly coldened, while his gaze sharpened in that moment as well. He knew Kun Tian’s soul had been injured in the Land of Soul Destruction, so he did not take what Kun Tian said at the start about him borrowing from Kun Tian to heart. After all, something was wrong with Kun Tian’s head. He had lost his memories, so if he recalled something incorrectly, it was not like he could not be forgiven.
However, Kun Tian’s threatening words at the end were extremely triggering to the seventh hall master Getti.
If this was just some petty, small matter, Getti would never care considering he was in a hurry to go to the Hundred Saint City. However, a threat from Kun Tian was no longer a small matter. This was a major matter that had to do with the dignity of the seventh hall master.
“Kun Tian, I never thought you’d become so arrogant after breaking through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer. But fair enough, you don’t remember what happened in the past anymore, so you’ll obviously forget everything you’ve gone through as well. Looks like I need to patch up your memory a little.” Getti sneered as a tremendous presence slowly rose from his body, as if he was a vicious beast that had awakened from its slumber.
Disguised as Kun Tian, Jian Chen had just been wondering how he was supposed to keep Getti busy, but now that Getti took the bait so easily, he was secretly overjoyed. As a result, he added to the situation by saying furiously, “Looks like you really don’t have any plans on returning them then. If that’s the case, you better forgive my rudeness.” With that, Jian Chen struck first. He equipped Kun Tian’s god artifact armour and reached out in the thin air with his right hand. Immediately, a strand of sword Qi appeared out from nowhere, illuminating the surroundings and directly stabbing towards Getti.
The energy in the strand of sword Qi was completely contained, without a shred of it leaking out. Clearly, Jian Chen had controlled it perfectly. As a result, even if the sword Qi was destroyed in a clash with Getti, it would not produce energy shockwaves that were too powerful. It could not affect the surrounding environment and structures.
In order to achieve this, Jian Chen could only use less than half of his strength, because that was the only way for him to ensure there would not be collateral damage.
Otherwise, probably half of the capital city would be destroyed if he struck out with his full strength, as the resulting energy would be devastating.
Getti was composed. He was rather eager for this battle, because Kun Tian was now at the Sixth Heavenly Layer, not the Fifth Heavenly Layer anymore. As an old rival of his, he obviously had to understand his strength and see just how much stronger Kun Tian had become.
Getti suddenly lit up with golden light. Powerful Laws of Metal enveloped him, which made him glisten, like he was plated in gold.
Afterwards, he threw a punch. The punch glistened with golden light, like it was completely made out of gold. It was extremely tough.
Moreover, there was a scorching flame hidden within the dazzling, golden light.
These were the Laws of Metal and the Laws of Fire. Clearly, Getti had spent a tremendous amount of time on comprehending these two laws. Even though he remained at the Sixth Heavenly Layer in terms of comprehension, his usage of the laws, his grasp over power and the purity of his origin energy had already approached perfection.
In order to avoid any shockwaves, both of them held back with their attacks. They did not even use half of their strength, so it was obviously impossible to determine who was stronger.
After this quick clash, Getti pulled back and said to Jian Chen coldly, “It’ll be difficult for us to move about freely here. Kun Tian, if you have the courage, come with me.”
With that, Kun Tian took off as a blur. He moved extremely quickly into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Jian Chen could not help but smile with the success of his plan. He thought, “Jin Hong’s group is composed of disciples and descendents of several dozen peak organisations from the Saints’ World. With their sacrificial soldiers in formation, they’ll be equivalent to several dozen First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. That’s more than enough to take back the Hundred Saint City. All they need is time.”
“As long as I keep Getti busy for four hours, they should be able to take back the Hundred Saint City.” As he thought of that, Jian Chen turned into a streak of light and shot off in Kun Tian’s direction.
“Let’s go as well. We can see just how different our hall master’s strength is compared to hall master Getti after breaking through,” Dou Wujin of the fifth divine hall said.
Bing Yuan and Tarot were both excited and eager as well. After nodding together, they immediately took off in pursuit.
With their departure, only Kasol and An Lie remained in front of the teleportation formation of the seventh divine hall, as well as general Guan who had come seeking reinforcements.
General Guan was worried. The situation in the Hundred Saint City was urgent. They really could not afford to wait. Now that their hall master Getti was gone, general Guan had no other choice but to seek reinforcements from the two vice hall masters, Kasol and An Lie, in hopes that they could head to the Hundred Saint City immediately.
“There’s no hurry, general Guan. Why don’t you send the Death Blow Army as reinforcements for now? The battle between our hall master and hall master Kun Tian is much more important. Kasol, let’s go as well,” said An Lie. He completely ignored general Guan’s request and immediately left with Kasol.
This was Kun Tian’s first battle with Getti after breaking through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer, so it held great significance. An Lie and Kasol would never want to miss something like that.
As for the Hundred Saint City, they never cared too much about it. To them, there was no major difference whether it was in the hands of the outsiders or the Darkstar race. It would not affect their interests at all, nor would it pose a threat to the Darkstar race.
The reason why they had attacked the Hundred Saint City in the first place was because hall master Getti’s deep hatred for the outsiders.
At the same time, the Hundred Saint City that was extremely distant from the capital city was in a horrible shape now. The flames of war spread everywhere. An intense battle that was enough to be described as earth-shaking to the Darkstar race unfolded.
The battle had completely reached the level of the Primordial realm.
Battles on a level like that basically never happened within the Darkstar race. They were as rare as they came.
Several thousand Godking sacrificial soldiers had already rushed up the tall, lofty walls of the Hundred Saint City, engaged in a brutal battle with the cultivators of the Darkstar race.
Energy boomed, deafening the surroundings. Powerful shockwaves of energy turn into violent storms that wreaked havoc above the Hundred Saint City, causing the walls to shake from time to time.
If it were not for the fact that the city was assembled out of supreme quality saint artifacts, making it extremely tough, it would have been reduced to ruins a long time ago from the battle of tremendous scale.
The people of the Darkstar race who guarded the city were forced into a constant retreat under the attacks of these sacrificial soldiers. They suffered extremely heavy casualties.
This was because the forces that the Darkstar race had stationed to watch over the Hundred Saint City were equivalent to one of the ten great armies at most. They only had around a thousand Godkings at most.
However, what they faced were several dozen peak organisations from the Saints’ World. Every single organisation had hundreds or even thousands of sacrificial soldiers. The difference in numbers was just too great.
In particular, when the sacrificial soldiers fell into formation and combined their powers, they could even erupt with the might of a First Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.
The Darkstar race was suffering a crushing defeat!
Outside the city, the battle was even more intense. Vice hall master Duff who had come from the seventh divine hall was currently surrounded by over a dozen colossal balls of light.
Every ball of light gave off a pulse of energy on par to First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. As a matter of fact, the energy from one of the battles had basically reached the peak of the First Heavenly Layer already, approaching the Second Heavenly Layer.
