Chapter 595: Battle Against Millions 4
The body of the Pride devil was instantly struck by the heavenly lightning. However, Aldrian slightly raised his eyebrows as he noticed something blocking the lightning for a moment before the pride devil’s figure disappeared and reappeared a kilometre away from him.
He looked at the pride devil in the distance, who now seemed to be gasping. Burn wounds marked his body, and they were laced with heavenly aura, making them difficult to heal.
The pride devil looked in his direction with a solemn expression. He had actually come close to death! If not for the defensive talisman he had activated by drawing on his own energy in that split second before the lightning struck, he would have already turned to ashes.
Even the defensive talisman, capable of withstanding a peak emperor’s attack and given by the Devil Lord, was instantly destroyed. But that brief protection was enough for him to escape using his escape talisman.
The battle between emperor-stage cultivators is like this, even a split second can decide life or death. Speed is one of the most important factors in combat at this level. Even if a cultivator has only a chance that lasts the blink of an eye, they must seize it.
The Pride devil, with his quick thinking, reacted fast enough to do what was necessary to save his life.
Aldrian that amazed by the Pride devil’s quick thinking and reflexes, then saw him take another stance, raising his sword and pointing it toward him. The Incoming Calamity sword’s blade, coated with the red glow of the Pride devil’s energy, grew brighter, and before long, it actually extended in length.
The destructive devil energy, combined with the Pride devil’s sword will, was a deadly combination if someone were wounded by it. However, the Pride devil did not seem finished. Suddenly, the surrounding wind was pulled toward him, and the swords held by the devil troops began to tremble.
Thousands of swords in the devil troops’ hands began trembling, causing them to glance down at their weapons. Then, one by one, the swords slipped from their grips and flew toward the Pride devil. The sight of tens of thousands of swords soaring through the air toward him was truly a spectacle to behold. All of them hovered around him, and every single blade was pointed at Aldrian.
Each of those swords was coated in the same red glow, and every one of them carried the power of a low emperor-stage attack.
The devil troops stared in shock. None of them had ever seen the Pride devil use this technique before. Even the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins were surprised. There was no one who could provoke the Pride devil to this extent, until now. For the first time, they were witnessing the Pride devil’s most powerful form and most powerful attack.
