C550 A Strict Order
Chu Tian nodded. Although it could not be said that they could be called elites, it did not mean that they could be called elites. From the eyes of the other six new palace masters, Chu Tian could also see that each of them had their own understanding. The battle just now had been very effective to them.
After this, they quickened their pace. This was because everyone was familiar with the usage of the Great Dao Energy in the previous battles. Hence, their speed had also increased by a notch.
Although they had encountered attacks from the Dao Corpse along the way, they had merely been attacked in twos and threes. It was not a large scale attack.
In the face of such a situation, Geng Jin and the others didn't make a move. This level of trouble wasn't a big deal to their large group. Letting them handle it was also a form of training for them.
Although Chu Tian was hurrying along the way, he was also observing the changes in the group. After that, he felt a little gratified in his heart. The only thing that the Human Cultivator had an advantage over the Dao Corpses was its intelligence.
The comprehension ability of the Human Cultivator far exceeded the Dao Corpse. After all, an ordinary Dao Corpse didn't have any intelligence. The Heavenly Corpse wasn't able to attain the comprehension ability of a human. Only by becoming an Earth Corpse could one be like a normal human. However, there were very few Dao Corpses that could grow to the level of an Earth Corpse, and no one knew how long this process of growth would take.
This was also the reason why the Dao Corpse in Extreme Star Land was still like this even after tens of thousands of years had passed. It was precisely because they didn't have the intelligence to comprehend the Dao Runes that the Human Cultivator was able to withstand for tens of thousands of years.
Now, as long as the Human Cultivator was given enough time, it might not be impossible to suppress and get rid of the Dao Corpse. This was because the problem of absorbing the Dao Runes in the Human Cultivator had already been solved because of Chu Tian's existence.
"I'm afraid that what we are doing here has aroused the suspicion of the Dao Corpse. It knows its weakness, and I'm afraid that it won't be long before the true battle begins." Chu Tian raised his head and looked into the distance, muttering to himself.
Chu Tian naturally wouldn't naively believe that the Dao Corpse had yet to notice the changes on the side of the Human Cultivator. It was very likely that Chu Tian would focus his attention on him, although that would put Chu Tian in an even more dangerous situation. But now, he could only take it one step at a time.
"Chu Tian hasn't surrounded us all along the way. Does this mean that the Dao Corpse is currently launching their final attack on the evil path cultivators? I'm afraid that after they noticed our arrival, in order to prevent us from teaming up with the evil path cultivators, they want to prevent us from joining forces with them. They will eliminate the root of the problem as soon as possible." Dongfang Xu stepped forward and said.
Chu Tian nodded. He had already thought of Dongfang Xu's speculation. However, it wasn't that he didn't want to go to the core of the battlefield right now. If they couldn't proceed according to the plan... There was no way they could win. Chu Tian glanced at the group. Although they had already gained the will to fight, these people were still like fledglings. It was difficult for them to make a name for themselves, but Chu Tian also understood that this wasn't something that could be done overnight.
It would be better to say that they were already considered pretty good if they were able to hold on until now. Now, their team had been reduced by a thousand people. Those thousand people were eliminated in order to prevent themselves from being eliminated. That was why they would fight with their lives on the line against the Dao Corpse.
Chu Tian watched all of this silently. Perhaps it was too cruel in the eyes of others. However, such a loss was still because Chu Tian and the others had secretly attacked a few times. In this chaotic world, they wanted to not hurt a single soldier. These words were just like a child's play.
"Over ten thousand people have been brought out, how many of them will be able to return alive in the end?" Yuan Liang said helplessly.
"Pay attention to your words and actions. If these words are spread out, it will only affect their determination." Dongfang Xu frowned and looked at Yuan Liang.
"Not only them, but also us. Whether or not we can return safely is still unknown." Yuen Xingjie said.
"When they were willing to follow us, they already knew that they would face such a situation. This was their choice that they couldn't avoid." Chu Tian said.
Everyone looked at Chu Tian with mixed emotions. Just like what the latter had said. In today's world, they could no longer choose anything else. If they did not fight, they would die. There was no room for negotiation with the Dao Corpse. This was not a fight for power. It was just a life and death battle.
At this moment, Chu Tian suddenly stopped in his tracks. After that, everyone immediately became alert. Geng Jin and the other three quickly reacted.
"It seems like we have reached the place!" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and said while staring at the scene in front of him.
Following Chu Tian's line of sight, everyone finally understood what the latter was talking about. There was a vast black mass below the hill. These were all Dao Corpses. This number was even more frightening.
"There are at least a hundred thousand of these Dao Corpses." Yuan Liang frowned and said.
When the cultivators behind them saw this scene, their eyes revealed fear. The enemy's military strength was ten times more than theirs. This number was not something they could deal with.
"Now that we have come this far, I will kill anyone who tries to retreat." Chu Tian said coldly. At this moment, an ice-cold killing intent spread out in all directions. Under such killing intent, everyone couldn't help but tremble.
Even Jin Jin and the others' facial expression changed. In front of such killing intent, they had no strength to resist. Only now could they deeply understand the terror of confronting Chu Tian.
Everyone's legs were like nails. No one dared to retreat. After witnessing Chu Tian's means, they knew very well that it was a daydream to escape from this man.
"Perhaps there is a gap between the number of people, but you are all cultivators. Do you think you can use the common sense to decide the outcome?" Chu Tian's voice was like a thunderclap that pierced through everyone's heart.
"Those who don't want to die, follow behind me. I will bring you all to kill your way through a bloody path. If you kill your enemies, each of you will be rewarded with a Dao Pill." Chu Tian said. Under the temptation of fear and benefits, hot blood would scatter the fear in their hearts.
As for Jin Jin and the others, they didn't say much. Before coming here, Chu Tian was the leader of the group. The latter's orders were absolute and would not go against his orders. It was better to use all of his skills to defeat these Dao Corpses. If even they were to be swayed... The nine thousand people behind him would be bewitched by fear.
After that, the flames rushed into the plains of the battlefield. The surging Heavenly Dao Fire instantly turned a large number of Dao Corpses into ashes, clearing out an empty space in front of Chu Tian and the others. Chu Tian was already in front of everyone.
After seeing Chu Tian's powerful technique, everyone's heart was ignited with flames. Their fighting spirit was ignited in their hearts, and then they shouted out loudly, Kill! An army of over nine thousand cultivators followed behind Chu Tian and charged forward.
The six of them also unleashed their attacks in all directions. They relied on their powerful Dao Runes and Great Dao Energy. Ordinary Dao Corpse were no match for them, and with Chu Tian's Dao Fire leading the way, they were no match for them. Although the number of Dao Corpses was greater than theirs, there wouldn't be too many problems in a short period of time.
Chu Tian didn't care about the number of these Dao Corpses, but with such a large scale of Dao Corpse, the person leading these Dao Corpses must be a powerful expert. Chu Tian had a cautious attitude in his heart, he could deal with any powerful enemies that might appear at any time.
The activity on Chu Tian's side quickly attracted the attention of the Dao Corpse. More and more Dao Corpse surrounded them. However, Chu Tian had been observing the battle. If the battle in any direction was not going well, he would also use the Dao fire to rescue them. During this process, he had accumulated more and more Dao Pill. Refining these ordinary Dao Corpses was not a difficult task.
If they continued to fight according to this trend, even though the enemy had a lot of Dao Corpse, but at this time, Chu Tian could clearly feel a powerful aura hidden within the group of Dao Corpses. The strength of those Dao Corpses was at least at the level of Earth Corpse.
They didn't choose Chu Tian as their target. After all, Chu Tian was too obvious. Such a powerful force was not something they could contend with. Hence, their initial target was the cultivator army. Their target was to charge into the cultivator army and cause chaos from the inside to break the formation of Chu Tian and the others. At that time, all the Dao Corpse would swarm forward and the army of nine thousand cultivators would be completely wiped out.
Chu Tian frowned and pondered for a moment, but he still decided to wait and see for the time being. Geng Jin and the others weren't ordinary people either. Before they obtained the Dao Pill, they also possessed extraordinary strength. With their strength, it shouldn't be a problem for them to deal with the Earth Corpse.
Of course, Chu Tian was also paying close attention to the progress of the battle. If they really couldn't hold on, Chu Tian would also lend a helping hand. After all, he didn't want these people to be completely wiped out here.
