Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1234: Ranking Battle of the Devil Generals

Panda Novel

When Lu Xuejia heard Qin Wentian's voice, her countenance instantly turned cold. She turned her head over, her cold eyes were filled with a terrifying imposingness as she stared at Qin Wentian.

"I rose up from a lowly slave, all the way till my current status, the ninth-ranked of devil generals. How can a mere person like you block my path? Your words will not affect my heart." Lu Xuejia's eyes were cold. Qin Wentian also agreed about her point.

Many of these devil generals had no one to depend on but themselves, as they carved out a path of survival, amidst the abundance of cruelty on the Myriad Devil Islands. Even for people with similar cultivation bases, Qin Wentian couldn't help but to admit that devil-cultivators would usually be more powerful compared to immortal cultivators. Their personalities were ruthless, cold and decisive as a result of the environment they lived in. If they weren't ruthless enough, they wouldn't be able to climb up.

Back then in those years, the sacred academy gathered the most outstanding elites with the highest talent in the immortal realms. But in reality, many of those characters were there because of their extraordinary background, giving rise to their high potentials. If there weren't powerful characters bringing them there, how could they cross the vast amounts of distance and enter the entrance of the sacred academy at the Nine Tripod City?

And as for these experts in the Blackstone Devil Sect, the talent of these twenty-eight generals naturally couldn't be compared to those supreme geniuses who were selected to enter the academy. But despite so, the aura radiating from these generals weren't weak at all.

Qin Wentian stared into the eyes of Lu Xuejia as he replied, "Your state of heart naturally wouldn't waver from a single sentence I said. However, in reality you have already admitted it. You don't even have the courage now to face off against the third-ranked devil general."

"Do you believe I can kill you right now?" Killing intent gushed forth from Lu Xuejia when she saw that Qin Wentian still wanted to shake her heart with his words. Right now, a wave of cold intent surrounded Qin Wentian completely.

Qin Wentian stared at her threatening eyes but he didn't bother with her. He directly turned and departed the area. Since he couldn't participate in this devil ranking battle, he can only return first and aim to seize the position of a devil general in the future.

"Hold on." At this moment, a voice called out, telling Qin Wentian to stop.

He halted his steps and turned around. His gaze was on a devil general in the corner. This general was one of the least conspicuous ones among the crowd. Her protector knights were also clearly weaker compared to the ones standing behind Lu Xuejia. Although both were females, there was still a disparity with regards to her strength and status when compared to Lu Xuejia. Even her beauty was somewhat inferior.

However, since she could become a devil general, there was no need to doubt her strength. Her bright eyes gleamed as she regarded Qin Wentian.

Juyu, the #28 ranked devil general. She stood at the absolute bottom among this group of characters.

"Do you want to participate in this battle?" Juyu stared at Qin Wentian as she asked. Qin Wentian nodded. He wanted to become a devil general. To him, this was an opportunity, he naturally wanted to participate.

"Since you wish to do so, you must have naturally done all the preparations. Why don't I give you a chance, are you willing to be my protector knight?" Juyu extended her invitation to Qin Wentian. The other devil generations stared at Juyu with interest. Qin Wentian was someone Lu Xuejia had abandoned, was Juyu going to take him under her wing?

In addition, the protector of the #3 ranked Zong Yan, seemed to want his life.

However, they soon understood Juyu's intent and all of them laughed silently.

"Sure." Qin Wentian replied. After that, he walked over and stood at Juyu's side.

"Are you not afraid of offending the 3rd ranked devil general?" Qin Wentian probed.

"Lu Xuejia's personality is lonesome and arrogant. She depended on herself to slaughter her way up to this position. I naturally wouldn't doubt her judgement. But since she was willing to allow you to become her protector once before, I'm sure you do have some capabilities. I myself, am the last-ranked general, and I have nothing more to lose. Even if you are killed in battle, my position would still remain the same."

Juyu transmitted her voice in reply, she was extremely straight-forward, which caused Qin Wentian to have a smile on his face.

As the last ranked general. Unless she was replaced by someone else, even if she lost, she would still be ranked last.

"No matter what your reasons are, since you are willing to give me this chance, I naturally won't make you disappointed." Qin Wentian's gaze turned to all the devil experts. He only saw Lu Xuejia coldly staring at him as she spoke, "You are still a protector knight under me, betrayal by changing masters is a crime punishable by death."

"You've already abandoned me. Do you expect me to be loyal to you still?" Qin Wentian mocked sarcastically. Although he just arrived at the Myriad Devil Islands, he already had an elementary understanding of the style which people on the devil islands did things.

"Just wait." Lu Xuejia's countenance was like ice. She glanced at Juyu and a moment later, a protector knight replaced Qin Wentian's position. Earlier, one of her protectors was killed by Qin Wentian and now, Qin Wentian became someone under Juyu because she abandoned him. She did suffer some loss here, but for the sake of not standing in opposition against the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan, she still felt that it was worth it.

In this space, more experts appeared. When everyone glanced that, looks of respect could be seen on their faces.

The man in the lead was an extremely sturdy and muscular guy, filled with boundless energy. His gaze held an imposingness within and nobody dared to match his gaze. He was a murderous dictator, the #2 ranked general, ranking above Zong Yan. Back then when he first came to the Bloodstone Devil Sect, his entire being was stained with blood as he slaughtered an entire devil palace completely, killing the previous general and obtaining this position.

Hence, this incident gave him the title of Blood Butcher.

The Blood Butcher stood there, his aura was extremely terrifying, causing nobody to dare to glance at him.

The sound of wind whistling rang out. A figure clad in gold sat atop a war chariot while his devil protector knights drove the chariots as they proceeded forward. When they entered here, a rumbling sound rang out as the war chariot was placed on the ground. His eyes roamed the crowd, and similar to the effect of the #2 devil general, nobody here dared to match his gaze directly as well.

This man, was none other than the #1 ranked devil general.

Nobody knew his name, most probably only the Blackstone Devil King would know.

His title was the First Devil General, and he has always been in this position. Ever since he joined the devil sect, his position as the first-ranked devil general has never changed.

Hence, there was no need for him to have a name. He was the first-ranked devil general and the first-ranked devil general was him.

Somebody said that he looked young but in truth, he was an old freak who has already cultivated for tens of thousands of years. His cultivation base was already nearing the immortal king realm and he could step into it at any moment, becoming the fifth devil lord under the Blackstone Devil King.

"RUMBLE!" The war chariot of the first devil general dove deep into the ground. Light runes flickered, incomparably resplendent as a great formation suddenly appeared below the ground. Numerous war drums could be seen, appearing before the locations where the devil generals were at. Instantly, this place transformed into a battlefield.

"The old rules stand. All the devil generals and their protector knights can participate. Whoever is killed first, or is blasted out, would be ranked the last. This battle will serve to select the top 14 generals." The First Devil General spoke. He was the first-ranked general and had immensely high authority and prestige. As long as no one replaced him, his rank would naturally be the highest here and he could give out commands.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" As the sound of his voice faded, the war drums echoed out. Devil might instantly enveloped the atmosphere as combat started.

Huang Hanling stared in the direction of Qin Wentian but he didn't act immediately. Qin Wentian was someone that has to be killed. This was the adjudication battle, the more enemies experts on their side killed, the less enemies would there be.

However since this Qin Wentian could be a legend of the sacred academy, he clearly wouldn't be weak. If he wanted to depend on the reverberations of the war drums to kill him, it probably wouldn't be that simple.

Lu Xuejia coldly stared at Qin Wentian as well. Both her hands shimmered with terrifying devil might. She then closed her eyes as her hands blasted out onto the war drum before her. Instantly, the drum echos rang out as fearsome devil swords slashed down from the sky, aiming for the position where Qin Wentian was at.

Juyu's fair hands also blasted out onto her war drum. A devil shield appeared in their surroundings, covering them protectively. However, as the swords rained down, cracks appeared on the shield. Juyu frowned when she saw this, this Lu Xuejia was truly ruthless, targeting Qin Wentian the moment battle started.

"The battle has already begun, you best be careful." Juyu spoke to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly, the people from the devil sect all emphasized efficiency when it comes to doing things. They directly started combat, without the need to speak superfluous words.

"Kacha!" The cracks on the shield widened. Lu Xuejia continued with her attacks and a few moments later, the sounds of cracking rang out as the devil shield shattered. A terrifying devil sword slashed towards Qin Wentian's throat. When this sword neared him, Qin Wentian actually felt that he had no way to evade this strike.

His immortal sense infused the war drum and a terrifying palm imprint ferociously shot out from the surface of the drum. When the sword slashed down, the palm imprint was even shattered from the might. The remnants of energy from the sword slash blasted onto Qin Wentian's drum, narrowly destroying it. Qin Wentian's immortal sense, which was infused in the drum, felt a bout of piercing pain.

Seems like this battle was extremely tyrannical as both parties could borrow the war drums to fight. They need not be in a passive defensive position and could fight attacks with attacks.

Upon seeing the ninth-ranked devil general Lu Xuejia acting, the other devil generals naturally wouldn't join in this battle. Instead, they selected their own opponents and fought. As for those devil generals in the front rankings, they were more relaxed and were actually adopting the stance of spectators. Nobody challenged them, they just needed to observe the battle quietly.

"I will try to stop her temporarily." Juyu's countenance changed, becoming somewhat cold. Lu Xuejia wanted her to be the first one out of the battle.

"Since this is a test to select the top 14 generals, the remaining 14 would naturally have to be eliminated. In that case, there was actually no need for all to battle." Qin Wentian stared at the situation on the battlefield. The top three-ranked generals were extremely relaxed, nobody dared to challenge them. Only those devil generals ranked in the back were fighting each other, hoping to push their rankings up.

As for why the ninth-ranked Lu Xuejia acted, it was naturally purely because of him.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" The protector knights under Lu Xuejia also aided her by banging their war drums, while rushing towards Qin Wentian's group simultaneously.

Qin Wentian grew more familiar with the war drum. Both his hands then blasted down onto the drum surface, causing the reverberating echoes to ring out unceasingly. Instantly in the air space above them, numerous gigantic ancient characters floated in the air. They transformed into a screen of light that enveloped this entire space.

"There's no need to waste our energies in fighting this battle." Qin Wentian spoke to Juyu. Zong Yan was the third-ranked devil general and he would definitely not be eliminated here. Lu Xuejia was the ninth-ranked general, and her probability of being eliminated was low as well. Qin Wentian wasn't in a hurry.
