Chapter 805: Chapter 286: Blood Oath Battle (10)Speaking of this Blood Oath battle, it could be said to stir up the entire situation.
All those forces that originally hid within the Beast Race, subdued by the ancient Beast Godâs tyranny, have almost all entered the fray.
So, up to now, Lu Hong is almost single-handedly dueling various forces within the Beast Raceâs internal circles.
Compared to the previous Blood Oath battle, Lu Hong has suffered more than a hundredfold. In the Era of the Gods, Shi Feiqing won the throne through the Blood Oath, but only with the support of the Lion Heart Royal Family and its allies did he ascend to that supreme position.
Unfortunately, Lu Hong has no foundation or power within the Beast Race. Without the assistance from Bloodthirst and Barai, he would have been defeated half a month ago due to the exhaustion of magic power and energy.
Although the arena battle is extremely challenging, on this towering arena, Lu Hong has come to understand the various forces gathered in the capital city very clearly.
The Netherworld God watching from the central stands indeed couldnât help him recover but used his mighty realm to investigate all the calculations and schemes beneath the capital city and whispered them to Lu Hong.
He heard the arrangements made by the Lion Heartâs ancestors and was well aware of the ancient Beast Godâs peopleâs plots, and even better understood Taiâeâs shift in mentality and full support.
He was even informed in advance by the Netherworld God about who would be the next to step onto the stage, using a full-spectrum gaze of the Divine Soul.
Retracting his gaze from the Netherworld God, Lu Hong naturally looked towards Mu Shen, the Walker of the Lion King Hall, whose face was uncertain.
After watching Lu Hong kill a strong member from the Lion King Hall, Mu Shen was obviously frightened. His strength was comparable to the one on the stage before, so if Lu Hong could kill that one, surely he could kill him too. Hence, Mu Shen did not want to meet his doom, but⌠the strict rules of the Lion King Hall dictate that a Walker must obey a Venerable, and disobedience⌠is more terrifying than death.
Gritting his teeth, Mu Shen stepped onto the stage and paid respect to Lu Hong: âMu Shen greets Duke of Divine Might.â
Watching Mu Shen salute, Lu Hong perked up and said with a smile: âSuch acts wonât save you.â
Upon hearing this, Mu Shenâs expression immediately darkened. He indeed had intentions behind his saluting, but Lu Hong exposed it with just one sentence.
Although Mu Shen was already on the stage, out of fear, he didnât initiate an attack.
Likewise, Lu Hong didnât have the intention to attack, instead he said, âDo you want to know why?â
Looking at the smiling Lu Hong, Mu Shen said coldly: âI donât know where I have offended the Duke.â
âRemember the Divine Blood River in the Endless Forest back then.â
Upon hearing this, Mu Shen was slightly taken aback: âThis matter⌠back then the Duke didnât participate, right?â
âI didnât participate, but my wife, the Master of Green Tower, Danni, was terribly chased because of it.â
Lu Hong continued: âBefore coming to the Divine Grace, my wife discussed these past events with me. I asked her if she encountered any dangers when pursued by those powerful beings, and my wife told me that there was once a Beast Race warrior who held a killing spear and attacked her from the side, almost killing her. Fortunately, the Master of Black Tower helped her escape. And that beastman who ambushed her, she remembered very clearly, had a half-meter scar on his face, and his hair color was very distinctive, intermingling red and white.â
At this point, if Mu Shen still couldnât understand, then he really lived in vain.
âSo, you intend to take revenge for your wife?â
Mu Shen, who broke the facade, no longer addressed Lu Hong politely, and gripped a long spear in his hand.
âDo you think, as a husband, I wouldnât avenge this grudge?â
Before Lu Hongâs voice fell, Mu Shen thrust his spear.
âKill!â
Knowing Lu Hongâs might, Mu Shen started with his strongest skill.
With a sprint, he leaped into the air.
âRainbow Piercing Sun Kill!â
The Beast Race, unlike the Human Race, does not have professional legacies; many skills come from bloodline inheritance, and this Rainbow Piercing Sun Kill is the most powerful battle skill of Mu Shen as a member of the Fierce Horse Tribe.
Watching the Sky-breaking Spear descend, Lu Hong swung the Holy Sword, and Heaven Slaying was immediately unleashed.
The hundred-foot blood sword collided fiercely with the Rainbow Piercing Sun, the surging magic power instantly engulfing the arena.
Even the beastmen below the arena seemed to recall Mu Shenâs Rainbow Piercing Sun stunt.
âHe was my Beast Raceâs Great General of the Cavalry 800 years ago!â
Members of the Fierce Horse Tribe were all excited, the Rainbow Piercing Sun skill had not been mastered by anyone since Mu Shenâs death at Curved Wood Cliff 800 years ago.
Speaking of Mu Shen, he was quite renowned 800 years ago, even more so than Lan Zhan, since Lan Zhan was the Grand Marshal, usually strategizing in the rear, while Mu Shen, as the Beast Raceâs Great General of the Cavalry, was independent from the Beast Raceâs integrated military system, commanding a legion of soldiers all selected from the Fierce Horse Tribe, with strong autonomy and independence. Even during the Beast Raceâs external campaigns, Mu Shen, the Great General of the Cavalry, could act independently without following military orders.
And Mu Shen, who wielded great power, did not disappoint the Lion King and the citizens of the Beast Race at the time.
During the multiple battles between the Beast Race, the Snowy Region, and the Sacred Empire, the elusive exploits of the cavalry army he led were sung by people for their remarkable achievements.
Unfortunately, this proud army of the Beast Race was eventually defeated at Curved Wood Cliff due to a design of the Human Race, leaving no survivors of the 30,000-strong Fierce Horse Tribe army.
Of course, this wasnât the Sacred Empireâs doing as they claimed, but rather the Lion King Hall, who saw value in Mu Shen, took him under their command, and to cover up their tracks, shifted all the blame onto the Sacred Empire, who incidentally were unaware of being wronged.
Soon, Mu Shenâs roar pulled everyoneâs attention back to the battlefield.
The previously balanced Rainbow Piercing Sun was now trembling uncontrollably, forced to retreat.
Mu Shen exerted all his strength, his face turning red.
Watching Mu Shen still struggle, Lu Hong intensified his grip, the giant sword radiated once more, slicing through and breaking the rainbow, the massive sword continued its momentum and smashed into Mu Shen.
Mu Shen, struck mid-air, fell like a comet onto the arena.
Landing on his head first, the giant impact left him dazed.
Lu Hong had no intention of sparing this one who almost ambushed Danni successfully, he dashed forward, the Holy Sword flashed with a cold glint.
Mu Shen was cleaved in two, bursting into a rain of blood.
Seeing Mu Shen killed so easily, the Lion King Hall Venerable watching below the arena turned extremely grim.
Two of his capable subordinates had already died at Lu Hongâs hands, how could he not be angry? But despite the anger and hatred, the Lion King Hall Venerable did not have any desire to challenge Lu Hong on stage, at least not yet.
âHeh, Hawk Falcon Venerable, weâre just following the plan, if Lion King Hall ultimately wins the Beast King position, the tens of thousands of elite warriors in the Beast Race will be at your disposal, wonât they?â
Hearing another venerable beside him, the Hawk Falcon Venerable sneered: âWhen your subordinates die, youâll feel the pain. Our followers are top-notch existence in the Beast Race over the millennium, how hard is it to find good replacements? Donât worry, soon it will be your people dying.â
âIs that so? Then I really hope that lad on stage can last until that time.â
Was Mu Shen weak? Naturally not, otherwise, he wouldnât have been so illustrious 800 years ago. But to be fair, as a warrior, Mu Shenâs forte wasnât solo combat; his battle-worn experience should have prevented such a defeat, unfortunately, he chose the wrong way to fight.
Lu Hongâs single strike ended Mu Shen, but it came at a personal cost, nearly depleting his magic power from a quarter remaining. Although he killed Mu Shen, who could only replenish so much energy after such an average opponent.
This battle was a loss.
The moment Mu Shen was killed, an unvoiced shout from him pulled the spectatorsâ thoughts back.
The once evenly-matched Rainbow Piercing Sun was now shattered, and the arena was obliterated by the surging magic.
Below, the beastmen seemed to recall Mu Shen, who performed the Rainbow Piercing Sun technique.
âHe was the Great General of our Beast Raceâs cavalry from 800 years ago!â
The Fierce Horse Tribesmen were visibly excited, for that Rainbow Piercing Sun technique had not been mastered by anyone since Mu Shenâs tragedy at Curved Wood Cliff 800 years ago.
To speak of Mu Shen, he was well-renowned for a time 800 years ago, even more so than Lan Zhan, after all, Lan Zhan was the Grand Marshal generally strategizing at the rear, while Mu Shen was different. As the Great General of the Cavalry for the Beast Race, he operated independently from the regular Beast Race army structure, commanding a force composed entirely of warriors selected from the Fierce Horse Tribe, enjoying great autonomy and independence, even during the Beast Raceâs external campaigns. Mu Shen, the Great General of the Cavalry, could act independently without military orders.
And Mu Shen, granted such immense power, did not disappoint the Lion King and the Beast Race populace at the time.
During the Beast Raceâs multiple wars with the Snowy Region and the Sacred Empire, the cavalry force, led by him, was highly mobile and achieved numerous meritorious deeds, sung by many.
Unfortunately, this proud force of the Beast Race eventually met with defeat due to the Human Raceâs design at Curved Wood Cliff, leaving no survivors among the 30,000-strong force of the Fierce Horse Tribe.
Of course, this was not the work of the so-called Sacred Empire, but the Lion King Hall. They had taken a liking to Mu Shen and brought him under their command, covering their tracks by placing all the blame on the Sacred Empire.
Soon, the roar of Mu Shen brought everyoneâs memories back to those days on the battlefield.
The Rainbow Piercing Sun, which once held half the stage against the blood sword, was now utterly defeated, with the surging magic power washing over the arena.
