Chapter 1208: Six Thousand Meters Left!
"No!!!"
Watching the Dragon Emperor Realm's self-detonation, a middle-aged man from the Xuanyuan Clan couldn't help but shout out in agony.
Su Han knew this man, as well as the Dragon Emperor Realm cultivator. Although they belonged to the same clan, they were also very close friends.
With a roar, the middle-aged man almost reflexively wanted to rush out of the crowd to attack those several Demon Lord-level Extraterritorial Demons.
But Xuanyuan Qiong suddenly intervened, grabbed him forcibly, and shouted, "Come back!"
"I want to kill this bunch of bastards, I want them all to die!!!" The middle-aged man roared madly.
"Get a hold of yourself!"
Xuanyuan Qiong shouted, "Open your eyes and see, there are so many people here waiting for you to protect them. The Sect Master is fighting bloodily to clear a path, if you go out there now, it would be a pointless death, absolutely not worth it!"
"I!"
The middle-aged man's face was distorted with rage, as if he was on the brink of madness.
However, he eventually calmed down.
Looking at those countless young faces, the middle-aged man suddenly remembered his own deceased child.
Indeed, there are still so many descendants waiting for him to protect. How could he lose his sanity at this moment?
The Dragon Emperor Realm was strong, yet the responsibility they bear was equally great.
It was because of their strength that they were positioned at the outermost defense, just like that Dragon Emperor Realm; he was ambushed while trying to save someone, and that person was merely in his twenties, with a Cultivation Base of the Dragon Spirit Realm.
Although it seemed unworthy to exchange the life of a Dragon Emperor for a Dragon Spirit Realm's life, this is the duty of the Dragon Emperor Realm!
Just like parents who can give everything, even their lives, for their children.
And what can the children do? What can the parents do more?
It's clear that what parents do is far more than their children, yet why do they still desperately protect their children?
This is an emotion that cannot be expressed.
And the death of that Dragon Emperor Realm cultivator was the second Dragon Emperor to fall in this battle.
"Three Swords, Flow of Time!"
Su Han's voice rang out once more.
The Sword Light at this moment extended to thirty thousand feet.
The thirty-thousand-foot Sword Light was earth-shattering; if it was swung straight down, it could cover even several kilometers.
Upon this Sword Light, waves of white light surged. As the Sword Light descended, these lights instantly entered the bodies of those Extraterritorial Demons.
In this instant, time seemed to reverse, and those Extraterritorial Demons that were rushing over began uncontrollably retreating.
Their retreat immediately opened up a path for the Phoenix Sect.
Seizing this opportunity, the Phoenix Sect advanced rapidly.
However, no matter how powerful a secret technique is, it ultimately has limits.
Like this Flow of Time, after a few seconds, it returned to normal, and those Extraterritorial Demons once again roared and charged towards the crowd.
Yet at this moment, the massive Sword Light three thousand feet long descended.
"Boom!!!"
As the Sword Light struck down, Heaven and Earth seemed to collapse, countless blood mists scattered, and as far as one could see, where the Sword Light swept through, it looked as if a blood-red path had been carved open, another thousand meters cleaved by Su Han.
The Phoenix Sect Disciples wasted no words, dashing forward.
Following behind them, the Holy Spirit Palace, Hua Hai Sect, Palace of the Holy Maiden, and other forces were in pursuit, not needing to worry about being attacked from both the front and rear, only needing to be cautious of the flanking Extraterritorial Demons.
This advance stretched another five hundred meters.
Until now, the group was eight and a half kilometers away from the Barren Land!
Eight and a half kilometers...
In usual times, with Su Han's speed, it wouldn't even take a blink of an eye to cross such a distance in one step.
But at this moment, advancing every meter seemed enormously challenging.
"Four Swords, Stir the Heart!"
Heaven and Earth buzzed, and the Sword Light that had disappeared once again emerged with Su Han's Longsword, extending from thirty thousand feet to fifty thousand feet.
The fifty-thousand-foot Sword Light, looking up, its end could not be seen, piercing straight up into the clouds.
As this Sword Light descended, it tore apart the Void, causing an explosion from all directions, shaking the ground, and slicing through the Extraterritorial Demons!
Under this Fourth Sword, a Demon Lord-Level Extraterritorial Demon failed to retreat in time and was directly cleaved into a blood mist!
In addition, at least a hundred thousand Extraterritorial Demons perished under this sword strike.
The Phoenix Sect advanced another five hundred meters, bringing the distance to the Barren Land down to eight kilometers.
"Five Swords Destroying Spirits!"
"Six Swords Meet the Firmament!"
"Seven Swords... Break My Heart!!!"
In the next moment, Su Han unleashed his final three swords simultaneously.
The Sword Light extended to eighty thousand feet, one hundred thousand feet, and one hundred fifty thousand feet...
All descended at the same time!
"Boom!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!!"
One after another, as the three Sword Lights descended one after another, the thunderous sound erupted, and a vacuum area appeared among the Extraterritorial Demons ahead!
Looking over, there were no Extraterritorial Demons left in that vacuum, only large swathes of blood mist.
"Go!" Su Han shouted.
The Phoenix Sect Disciples hesitated not even a bit, unleashing their utmost speed at this moment, charging straight ahead.
Undoubtedly, the power of these three swords was enormous.
The Phoenix Sect moved forward a full two thousand meters this time, leaving only six kilometers to the Barren Land!
However, during this progress, due to the speed being too fast and being constantly attacked by the flanking Extraterritorial Demons, at least five thousand people from the Phoenix Sect died.
Their bodies slowly fell to the ground, some even torn into pieces by the Extraterritorial Demons before they could hit the ground.
The rear forces suffered similarly.
The Phoenix Sect was paving the way, yet they were still assaulted by Extraterritorial Demons, suffering countless casualties.
In terms of minimizing losses, the Phoenix Sect fared the best.
The Phoenix Sect, though leading the charge, first had Su Han to pave the way, and second, the overall strength of the Phoenix Sect Disciples was much higher than that of other forces. Their bodies, at the very least, possessed the Kunpeng Sacred Body's first layer, Dragon Spirit Level bodies, which sometimes resisted being torn apart by Extraterritorial Demons when captured, allowing others to pull them back.
It wasn't that Su Han willingly paved the way for other forces, but the only advantage of being at the forefront was being closest to the Barren Land!
Being in the middle meant being unable to move due to the front, unable to retreat due to the rear, resulting in bloody battles.
And being at the last means constantly being pressured by the Extraterritorial Demons without effective advancement, resulting in the most casualties.
Su Han's decisions were all thoroughly thought-out.
"Buzz~"
Just as Su Han was about to make another move, a buzz suddenly came from the group of Extraterritorial Demons ahead.
Amid this buzz, there were continuous booming sounds, countless Extraterritorial Demons' bodies exploded of their own accord, turning into blood mist!
