Chapter 1270 - 1270: Demon Emperor Chi Yin

Enemy attack! Protect our homeland!

Just those simple six words, when shouted from the mouths of that squad of soldiers, deeply stirred something within the innermost depths of Liu Zixuan, and consequently made the hot blood in his veins boil.

A few seconds ago, they were still lost and at a loss due to the fact that they were already dead.

In other words, at that moment, they were in their weakest state.

If anything were to happen, they definitely would not be able to cope and would consequently scatter.

However, they did not act like that, but instead quickly pulled themselves together, and that innate quality truly touched Liu Zixuan.

Because, when they sensed that a real enemy was approaching, they did not linger in that confusion, but picked up the weapons in their hands and regained their fighting spirit from before.

What made them recover so quickly was that responsibility.

That responsibility to protect the country and the homeland, the responsibility that soldiers were born to shoulder.

Liu Zixuan, although never having been a soldier, always had a heartfelt reverence for military personnel.

Those who can stand up at any moment and take the country as their responsibility are truly those frontline soldiers.

And only they can hold onto their fervent beliefs even in death, eternally guarding the country!

Therefore, from the moment the shout for enemy attack, protect our homeland was uttered, Liu Zixuan genuinely felt deep respect for those soldiers!

"Hide behind us!"

Amidst Liu Zixuan's imagination, the armored commander seized the chance to softly scold him.

Before Liu Zixuan could reply, the eerie voice drew closer, then laughed, "I didn't expect, right after coming out, to encounter a living person, and such a nice vessel nonetheless!"

"He doesn't seem to be a conscious entity," Liu Zixuan frowned and said.

The armored commander whispered, "He's the Spirit Race's second leader, Youchi's damn younger brother, Chi Yin!"

"No no no, you should refer to me as the Spirit Race's Demon Emperor!"

While speaking, the eerie voice had already reached them, and a very tall and burly figure appeared, a full two meters three or four in height, exceptionally burly, with a weapon in each hand that seemed like a hammer yet different from a hammer. The night was so dark that coupled with his towering stature, his facial expression remained unseen.

"Didn't all the main figures of Youchi's lineage perish in the Battle of Deer-Catching?" Liu Zixuan asked in confusion.

"Those guys' cultivation techniques are extremely unique. Although their original bodies died, they left behind some kind of clone or soul body. While their strength is not as great as the original, they are extremely troublesome entities. Earlier we received information that they were being suppressed here."

The armored commander took a deep breath, "I don't know why, but earlier only some small fry appeared, and they were all killed by us, but I didn't expect the Demon Emperor would appear today!"

Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, "Could it be because of the emergence of the Xuanyuan Sword!"

The armored commander gave Liu Zixuan a deep look, "I don't know, I'm just a minor commander stationed here."

"You mean, there are others more powerful than you here?" Liu Zixuan asked.

The armored commander shook his head, "There used to be, but as time passed, some perished and eliminated, and some died in countless battles. Now it's just us left here."

"Have you finished discussing?" The Spirit Race's Demon Emperor Chi Yin asked with a cold sneer.

The armored commander glared at him, then said to Liu Zixuan, "I tentatively believe you are our race's descendant. Soon, my brothers and I will hold them off. You should quickly leave this area."

"But you're just conscious entities, while he is..."

"Of course, we have our ways. Although..." The armored commander paused, "Although it will cost us some, we can certainly suppress him again. Stop with the nonsense, get out of here, find a way to close the relic once more. If these guys escape, it will be an even greater disaster!"

By the end, the armored commander's expression grew increasingly solemn, and his voice became hoarse.

"Hmph, with just a few of you small conscious entities wanting to suppress me? Think it's still the Ancient Times?" The Demon Emperor Chi Yin sneered mockingly, "Obediently become my midnight snack, and once I'm full, I'll take over that boy's body. From now on, I'll return to my peak and unify the world!"

"Delusional, you weren't as good as my Star Race during the Ancient Times, and neither can you today!"

The armored commander pushed Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi fiercely and led the soldiers charging directly at the Demon Emperor Chi Yin!

Though the commanders seemed like conscious entities, their combined fighting spirit was still strong, the momentum of this attack was no weaker than the Demon Emperor Chi Yin.

But Liu Zixuan quickly discarded that thought.

Because in that instant, the Demon Emperor didn't even move.

Just as the soldiers attacked, the Demon Emperor swung his two weapons in hand, then wielded them heavily, knocking each one back.

Just by wielding weapons, it held such power.

If this Demon Emperor truly fought, wouldn't he annihilate those soldiers in an instant?

Luo Xi clutched Liu Zixuan's sleeve, "This Demon Emperor is so strong, shouldn't we... hurry and leave?"

"If we hadn't encountered them, it'd be different, but in this situation, how could I leave these seniors unattended!" Liu Zixuan spoke solemnly.

"But that Demon Emperor has unfathomable power, you're probably not his match!" Luo Xi said worriedly.

"Can't care about that now, if there's danger, hide inside the Relic Pearl. Even if we can't win, I have a way to escape." Liu Zixuan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, having said that, he suddenly leapt to the side of the armored commander.

"Why haven't you left yet!" The armored commander yelled angrily upon seeing Liu Zixuan's action.

"At a time like this, leaving you all behind to escape by myself means I wouldn't be Liu Zixuan, nor deserve to call myself a man of the Star Sea!" Liu Zixuan declared resolutely.

The armored commander sighed, "We understand and appreciate your intention for telling us all this. But at a time like this, you should go. As long as the green hills remain, firewood never runs out. We've all… died once before; what's it matter to die again, but you are different."

"Yes, leave here."

"Brother, go. For those words you said earlier, we admire you!"

After the commander spoke, the surrounding soldiers chimed in as well.

"Since you want to stay, then none of you shall leave!"

Before Liu Zixuan could speak, the Demon Emperor Chi Yin took a step forward, immediately unleashing a massive oppressive force sweeping upon them.

"I will just devour these conscious entities afterward and take over your body, kid. That's your fortune!"

Liu Zixuan abruptly raised his head, his eyes exuding a cold intent, "This fortune, young master is not interested in!"
