Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7312

Chapter 7226: Counterattack?

As Li Tianming finished speaking, many in the Demon Extermination Army echoed his sentiments.

“Jiuyang truly deserves to die!”

“War God Li has rid us of a scourge. If someone like Jiuyang were to truly seize power, it would be a real disaster for us!”

Jiuyang’s former loyal followers were ashen-faced, as if they had lost their parents.

Jiuyang’s death meant that all the benefits they hadn’t yet received had vanished.

“I wonder if Li Tianming will treat us specially in the future. After all, we’re too deeply connected to Jiuyang, and it’s easy for him to find out…”

“Actually, thinking about it now, we shouldn’t have been ordered by Jiuyang to do those dirty things. But… with the three vice-generals vying for power, we really had no choice…”

Some commanders and centurions couldn’t help but repent.

But Li Tianming ignored the Demon Extermination Army’s reaction for the time being, and instead picked up the Sumeru Ring that Jiuyang had dropped.

He frowned slightly, and quickly found a black sword about the length of his forearm.

The hilt of this sword was adorned with a black dragon!

Its body coiled around the blade to form the hilt.

Slightly above the hilt was the dragon’s head, from which the sword blade emerged!

The moment this sword was drawn!

*Buzz*—the

Sword Dragon Great Wall Demon-Slaying Array, already poised for attack, resonated throughout the entire Heavenly Eighth Section.

Instantly, the black dragon sword energy swirling in the sky became even more agile, as if ready to charge towards the demon’s lair outside the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall at any moment!

Suddenly!

This array power trembled violently.

Countless black dragon sword energies twisted and intertwined, like tangled hair, stuck in a stalemate!

*Rumble!!

* In an instant, the space above the entire Heavenly Eighth Section trembled, and the Dao clouds raged!

Countless nebulae, like whirlpools in the ocean, carried tornado-like, violent energy that shook the entire Heavenly Eighth Section Great Wall!

Countless Demon Slayers turned pale, their legs buckling, and the tremors of the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall nearly caused them to collapse.

“Oh no! It seems the Dao Formation is about to malfunction! That beast Jiuyang tampered with it before he died!”

“What War God Li possessed should be one of the cores of the Sword Dragon Great Wall Demon Slayer Formation… Now that Jiuyang is dead, the Dao Formation is missing a crucial link!”

The crowd was horrified to discover that the Dao Formation seemed extremely unstable, their eyes wide with shock.

Although Jiuyang wasn’t an expert in Dao Formations, he had only crudely altered the direction of the Sword Dragon Great Wall Demon Slayer Formation, but the current situation was enough to increase the Demon Slayer Army’s casualties!

“This Dao Formation covers the entire Heavenly Eighth Section of the Great Wall; we have no choice but to withstand it!”

“This man even took others with him in his death! There

are still Demon Slayers who once followed him here!” Countless Demon Slayers cursed, many organizing themselves into defensive formations to prepare for any eventuality!

Even in the face of death, a few former subordinates of different generals, and even those who were originally at odds with each other, cooperated to fight back!

But they all knew in their hearts that it was futile!

But there was no other way; they couldn’t just wait to die…

Yu Mo, Wei Qingyu, and the seven border generals were also somewhat stunned.

Chan Yu said blankly, “This Jiu Yang, is he really so ruthless and insidious? He even did something that directly harmed the Jue Mo Army?”

Jiang Guxu’s eyes were gloomy. “This is equivalent to giving Li Zhanshen a super cosmic ray source that explodes instantly… Although we are not afraid of the brief aftershocks of the Sword Dragon Great Wall Demon-Slaying Formation’s chaos, the vast majority of the Jue Mo Army’s rank-and-file soldiers cannot withstand it…”

“The predecessor Jiu Yang is dead, which is equivalent to throwing this mess to Li Zhanshen. Others may think that if Li Zhanshen did not act so decisively and forcefully, there would still be a chance to salvage the situation. This is an insidious trick, even using his own death.” Yu Mo said meaningfully.

“Now, the only way to stop all this is for War God Li to control the Dao Array Core, but the Dao Array Core isn’t something you can control just by getting your hands on it…” Wei Qingyu’s gaze was deep as he looked at Li Tianming, who was staring blankly at the Dao Array Core.

In fact, he was right about this; he had used that as an excuse to refuse to return the Dao Array Core back then.

But at that time, it wouldn’t have been a problem for Li Tianming to get the Dao Array Core back, because the Dao Array hadn’t been activated, and there was no need to fight. Li Tianming had a perfect opportunity to control it before the battle.

But now, thanks to the Nine Suns, Li Tianming must control the Dao Array Core to resolve this crisis!

While everyone was panicking, Li Tianming stared at the Dao Array Core in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

“War God Li, could it be that his Heavenly Soul has been shattered by the ‘Ink Jade Sword Dragon,’ turning him into a fool?”

“After all, every user of the Sword Dragon Great Wall Demon-Slaying Array has gradually come into contact with the Dao Array’s core. How could he take control of it so easily?”

“That’s a terrifying Dao Beast sealed within the Dao Array’s core by a super-strong expert…”

Countless people looked at Li Tianming with worry, actually more worried about themselves. If Li Tianming was crippled, some of them might also perish in the Dao Array’s chaos!

At this moment, everyone was filled with anxiety, believing that Li Tianming had been driven mad by the ‘Ink Jade Sword Dragon.’

But in reality, Li Tianming had already glimpsed the spirit within the Dao Array’s core!

It was a five-clawed black dragon covered in sword-shaped scales!

Its pupils resembled vertical pupils, but upon closer inspection, they looked more like vertically placed sword blades!

“Bai Ye, beat it up!” Li Tianming’s eyes burned as he spoke directly.

“Here I come!” Bai Ye chuckled.

“Let me do it! I can go too!” Bai Feng shouted, ready to join the fight.

Bai Ling, however, remained remarkably calm.

This puzzled Bai Feng. “Why aren’t you reacting? If you don’t act now, you’ll miss your chance to get rid of this little black mudfish.”

Bai Ling said nonchalantly, “After all, I’m the eldest brother. I’ll give you guys this opportunity. We should give the younger generation more chances.”

“Damn it! What are you pretending for? I’m the eldest brother!” Bai Feng’s attention instantly shifted, and he lunged at Bai Ling.

“What are you fighting with me for? If you want to make a move, then make one. Nobody’s stopping you from competing with Bai Ye for the title of outstanding underling.” Bai Ling cursed, his spirit body also engaging in combat with Bai Ling.

At this moment!

The Mo Xuan Dragon Beast looked down with disdain, its head held high, as if it were looking down on Li Tianming.

But when a white shadow appeared in the dark space it inhabited, it sensed Bai Ye’s presence and panicked completely!

Although the white figure wasn’t large, it was exceptionally conspicuous in this mostly dark world!

Roar!!

The Mo Xuan Dragon Beast roared, but it lacked any power, filled instead with fear and warning!

It fled in all directions in the dark space, truly like an eel burrowing into the ground, impossible to find!

However, Bai Ye chuckled maliciously, as if he had locked onto the Mo Xuan Dragon Beast’s location, able to find it instantly no matter where it fled! This

space within the Dao Array Core, which belonged to the Mo Xuan Dragon Beast, now seemed to have become Bai Ye’s domain!

This Dao Array spirit, which had even once blasted a certain War God into a daze, was now utterly devoid of its former power!
