Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 173 - 171: Gaining Fame from a Single Battle

Looking at the ferocious beast covered in scale armor falling down, Xiao Ye discontentedly muttered to himself, "Fifty moves to kill this beast, that’s really too slow."

Indeed, if he used his physical body power, his strength would instantly surge, rivaling that of a second-class Innate Extreme Martial Artist, and he could kill this beast in just a few moves, which is why Xiao Ye was dissatisfied.

However, when these words fell into the ears of other martial artists, their expressions stiffened, and corners of their mouths twitched.

Damn, you’re only at the Innate Realm Ninth Layer Middle Stage, holding just an ordinary weapon, and you killed a third-class Innate Extreme Ferocious Beast in fifty moves, and you think that’s too slow? How can others even live?

"Heaven Burning Slash!" Xiao Ye raised the long blade in his hand and charged at another ferocious beast.

"Ah!"

Still fiercely battling the first beast, Long Yu roared in resentment, the dagger in his hand emanating terrifying energy, piercing blood holes one after another in the beast.

Finally, after eighty moves, that beast gave a feeble wail and fell to the ground, becoming a cold corpse.

It’s important to know that this beast had third-class Innate Extreme strength, and for Long Yu to kill it in eighty moves with his Late Stage of Innate Realm Ninth Layer, he should be proud.

However, Long Yu felt no joy in his heart, only a heavy pressure; this speed was far inferior to Xiao Ye’s.

"He... can actually translate sixty percent of Martial Arts True Intent into attack, no wonder his strength is so formidable, no choice but to admire him." Long Yu looked at Xiao Ye and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

To comprehend sixty percent of Martial Arts True Intent is already extremely difficult. To translate it entirely into an attack is even more challenging, not something ordinary people can do.

"Alas, I thought among the young talents present, apart from Jiang Yunfan, I was the strongest."

"Now I realize I’m far inferior to Brother Wang Lin. As long as his Innate True Qi is perfect, he absolutely qualifies to be a Young Supreme, not inferior to Jiang Yunfan." Long Yu was completely convinced by Xiao Ye, his arrogance utterly disappearing.

The gap between the three levels of Innate Extreme is immense, and even using a Xuan Artifact might not be enough to cross it, for at that time everyone’s Innate Extreme is perfect; the contest is in the strength of Combat Techniques and Martial Arts True Intent.

As long as one’s strength can reach second-class Innate Extreme, there’s a great possibility of becoming one of the Five Young Supremes in the Heavenly Pride Battle.

Thinking of competing with Xiao Ye, Long Yu’s face burned with embarrassment, that’s just asking for humiliation.

"After returning to the Imperial City, I’ll close myself off to break through to the Innate Extreme. In the Heavenly Pride Battle, I will not lose to you!" Long Yu clenched his fist, gazing at Xiao Ye’s back, then rushed out.

Rumble!

With Xiao Ye and Long Yu making a move, the pressure on the loose cultivators and young talents in the field greatly reduced, they easily held the line together.

"Haha, these young talents are the saviors of our Fierce Beast City!" Watching the eight Innate Extreme ferocious beasts fall one by one, all of Fierce Beast City was in jubilation.

Especially grateful to Xiao Ye and Long Yu.

After two hours, those eight Innate Extreme ferocious beasts were finally all killed.

"Hmph!"

Holding a long blade, Xiao Ye stood soaked in blood, his eyes gleaming brightly like a drawn sword, radiating an unparalleled edge, enough to pierce the Heaven.

"I remember back in the Death Swamp, encountering an Innate Extreme ferocious beast, I could only run for my life. But now such beasts are all my prey!" Xiao Ye felt a surge of pride in his heart.

"You all step back, leave these beasts to me!" Xiao Ye shouted, six-tenths of the Flame True Intent soaring into the sky, transforming the hundred-meter radius around him into a sea of fire.

Boom!

The mighty flame blade light pierced through the void like divine punishment, and with one slash, dozens of ferocious beasts wailing miserably turned to ashes.

Even third-class Innate Extreme ferocious beasts couldn’t withstand Xiao Ye’s Heaven Burning Slash, let alone these ordinary beasts, dying directly under the blade.

Xiao Ye swept through the beast horde like an invincible War God, cutting down everything in his path, the long blade directing so that all beasts fell.

The beasts’ shrill wails and angry roars shook the heavens, layers of corpses piled beneath Xiao Ye’s feet, the sky drizzled blood, evaporated by the Flame True Intent before reaching Xiao Ye.

"Damn, so fierce!" Many Heavenly Prides and loose cultivators were dumbfounded.

"Lord Wang Lin is the benefactor of our Fierce Beast City!"

"We will remember this grace for a lifetime!"

...

Fierce Beast City was in an uproar, everyone gazed at that invincible figure, imprinting it in their hearts.

"Lord Wang Lin is using my blade!" The martial artist who lent Xiao Ye the blade shouted excitedly, "When I return, I must store this blade as a family heirloom and pass it down!"

"Let’s follow Lord Wang Lin and annihilate all these beasts!"

"Haha, with Lord Wang Lin here, these beasts seem pretty average to me!"

Many loose cultivators were boosted with morale, their spirits high as they proactively attacked the beast horde. In the past, when beasts rioted, the martial artists of Fierce Beast City chose passive defense, but for the first time, they chose to take the initiative.

This change was solely because of Xiao Ye!

In everyone’s mind, Xiao Ye was more important than the Wu’an County Master and Jiang Yunfan, for Xiao Ye lifted the morale, greatly increasing their courage.

"I also want to slay beasts with Lord Wang Lin!"

The martial artists of Fierce Beast City all drew their weapons, charging out of the city gates, fighting the beast horde, their overwhelming courage soaring to the Nine Heavens.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

One by one, the martial artists fought with bloodshot eyes against the ferocious beasts, blood spraying everywhere, the battle extremely brutal.

The great battle lasted a whole four hours, with thick layers of corpses piled on the ground, some human martial artists, but mostly beasts, with blood flowing like small streams.

Roar!

Roar!

The remaining beasts roared lowly, then turned and slowly retreated.

"The beasts are retreating!"

Seeing this scene, everyone cheered, their faces full of excitement.

"Phew—" Xiao Ye stood propped against his blade, panting heavily, his face pale, his mind like pins stabbing pain, his steps unsteady.

"It seems that Martial Arts True Intent, like Innate True Qi, is not inexhaustible and can’t be used for a long time." Xiao Ye wore a wry smile.

It was his first attempt at using Martial Arts True Intent for such a long duration.

"But in the end, Fierce Beast City was protected." Xiao Ye looked back, a child’s face emerged in his mind, a slight smile appearing on his face.

Seeing that child, he thought of himself when young, helpless when Xiao Yang was severely injured.

He wasn’t a good person; he just wanted to use his power to minimize the world’s suffering.

"Lord Wang Lin, those two ferocious beasts haven’t withdrawn yet." At this moment, an independent practitioner walked forward and spoke.

Xiao Ye looked up, seeing those two second-class Innate Extreme ferocious beasts still fiercely battling Wu’an County Master and Jiang Yunfan, caught in a stalemate, the battle’s shock shaking the heavens.

"Second-class Innate Extreme’s power is indeed formidable, probably a hundred third-class Innate Extreme martial artists wouldn’t match up to one Jiang Yunfan." Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, realizing deeply the huge gap between the three levels of Innate Extreme.

"Lord Wang Lin, should we assist the County Master and the others?" The independent practitioner eagerly suggested.

"No need, masters like the County Master and Jiang Yunfan have their pride, if we help, they might not be happy, we should return to the city and wait for them."

Xiao Ye said, returning the long blade, and back to the walls of Fierce Beast City, where soldiers began to clean up the aftermath, carrying back the bodies of fallen martial artists.

"Lord Wang Lin, on behalf of Fierce Beast City, I thank you for your protection!" The First General under Wu’an County Master, after a bloody battle, returned to the city walls, kneeled on one knee before Xiao Ye, his right fist over his chest.

This is the highest salute of a soldier.

"Thank you, Lord Wang Lin!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang Lin!"

The soldiers of Fierce Beast City showed full respect, kneeling on one knee in unison like the First General, their voices shaking the sky.

This scene was incredibly moving.

At this moment, the city walls were silent; everyone looked at Xiao Ye, who had earned this group’s respect through his actions.

If Xiao Ye hadn’t raised morale and single-handedly slaughtered over a thousand beasts, many people might have died; this significance surpassed the County Master and Jiang Yunfan. Xiao Ye deserved to enjoy such homage.

"Everyone speaks too generously!" Xiao Ye was also moved, quickly helping the First General up.

Roar!

Roar!

...

At this moment, continuous beast roars echoed through the skies, and then the ground began to shake.

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, their eyes looking toward the distance.

They saw dozens of massive silhouettes appearing at the horizon, roaring towards the beasts, their ferocious aura sweeping across the sky.

"The beasts are coming again!"

Fierce Beast City descended into chaos once more, everyone’s hearts leapt with tension, looking towards the distance.

This time, the number of beasts wasn’t large, but it sank everyone’s hearts, making their limbs cold.

"Cloud Stepping Tiger, Golden Ape, Blood Cloud Wolf, Mane Lion... all are third-class Innate Extreme ferocious beasts, a total of forty. Is Fierce Beast City really doomed?"

"Why are these beasts frantically attacking Fierce Beast City!" The First General’s pupils violently contracted, his face turning incomparably pale.

Forty third-class Innate Extreme beasts attacking together can only be overcome by second-class Innate Extreme martial artists! However, Wu’an County Master and Jiang Yunfan simply couldn’t free themselves at the moment.

"Oh my god, forty third-class Innate Extreme beasts, rushing up is tantamount to suicide!"

"Sorry, everyone, the County Master said that if we feel it’s too dangerous, we can leave at any time."

...

Once someone took the lead, one by one the independent practitioners cupped their hands in apology, then turned and left.

"Alas." A young talent sighed, said nothing more, and walked away.

Swoosh!

The soldiers of Fierce Beast City turned pale, a heartfelt sadness within.

This is human nature; in the face of danger, how many are willing to step forward?

Swish!

At this time, a figure shot toward the forty ferocious beasts like a meteor, leaving everyone stunned.

"It’s Lord Wang Lin!" Many soldiers’ eyes moistened, shouting out loudly.

At this moment, that figure was so grand and imposing, like the Great Emperor of the Human Race Four Emperors in legends, battling ferocious beasts for the humans.
